Chapter 3:

(Eden's pov)

A steady beeping sound was the first thing that registered with me as my eyes fluttered open, they felt too heavy to keep open so it took a few attempts before I could physically keep them open. Once they were completely open I looked around to try and figure out where I was, the figures sitting next to my bed were a clear give away, I was with the Avengers.

"Uncle Tony…" I started, his head snapped up and his dark brown eyes lit up as they met mine. I tried to sit up by myself but my shoulder screamed with protest and I winced, Uncle Tony and Bucky noticed and with their help I was able to sit up in the bed still feeling a little sore despite the super soldier serum that enhanced my healing.

"Eden, I can't believe you're alive, how in the world did you end up with Hydra?" His question hung over me like a lead balloon. I swallowed heavily and sighed.

"Maybe it would be best for me to explain to everybody all at once… maybe introduce myself properly." I told him and he nodded.

"FRIDAY please tell everybody to come down to the medical bay immediately." He spoke to the room, I was confused at first until a voice overhead sounded.

"Everyone has been alerted sir." A females voice spoke back to him, I raised a brow at him.

"FRIDAY is my AI, she basically runs the entire compound and is tapped into every piece of technology I create and own." Tony explained for me and I nodded in understanding.

"How are you feeling ghosty… sorry Eden. It's strange knowing your real name after knowing you as Ghost for majority of your life so far." He smirked and I giggled, looking at him properly for the first time since I left him bleeding out that day on the road.

"A lot better now I don't have poison slowly killing me and an arrow in the shoulder." I smiled and he chuckled, resting a hand on top of mine, "I missed you Bucky, you too Uncle Tony." I told them, Tony definitely looked like he was going to cry. The moment was cut short by the other Avengers piling into what Tony called the medical bay. I could recognise them now I wasn't so doped up from the poison.

"I uh… asked Uncle Tony to call you down here because I thought introductions would be best made by me and to explain how I actually ended up at Hydra." I started, Hawkeye… Clint scoffed at me, I laid my eyes on him and rolled them, "Am I not the right kind of assassin for you, is that what it is bird brain?" I asked him, "I'm not 'redeemable enough' or a redhead." I added the last bit smirking slightly. He made a move towards the bed but Steve or Captain America put his hand on his shoulder to force him to stop, the look on his face basically said 'don't even think about it'.

"It's okay, just take your time. If there's things you're not comfortable saying then that's fine." He turned to look at me, the colour of his eyes looked extremely familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it. I nodded and took a breath in, manoeuvring myself so I had crossed legs before I started.

"Okay um, well I know who you all are, I may as well just start off by saying that besides Uncle Tony and Bucky, I was forced to learn about you all in my time under Hydra. But I suppose I should start from the very beginning. Well my name's Eden-May Sinclair, I'm currently fifteen almost sixteen." I started but stopped the minute I heard a gasping, my eyes snapped up to meet those of Steve, the heartbreak was evident on his face but nobody elaborated so I started again.

"Um… so my name is Eden-May Sinclair, I'm fifteen almost sixteen. Growing up I had my mum Eve and Uncle Tony until Hydra came knocking on the door when I was seven. They tried to get to me but my mum fought them until a man named Brock Rumlow put a hole in the centre of her forehead right in front of my eyes." I ignored the gasps from the other Avengers spectating. I thought for two seconds, "The rest would be better if I could show you, does anybody have my suit?" I asked and Natasha disappeared for a few minutes before reappearing with said suit, she handed it over to me, I smiled and thanked her for getting it for me. I found the hidden compartment and reached into it finding the USB I had stolen from Alexander's office a few weeks prior. "I stole this from the head of Hydra's office a few weeks ago, there's everything relating to me on there, I haven't watched the videos myself but I mean I was present for it all so…" I trailed off before adding, "and there's a bunch of other Hydra information on there." I told them all and handed the USB over to Uncle Tony, who took it and hooked it up to one of the data points.

"FRIDAY play the video files relating to the Ghost Assassin." Uncle Tony told FRIDAY, a monitor started to descend from the ceiling until it was all the way down, FRIDAY began decrypting the files and when the decryption was complete she selected the Ghost Assassin file and played the first video file that was on the folder. I stared at the monitor into the eyes of myself as a seven year old who had just been kidnapped.

"This was the day after I'd been taken, I'd woken up in a strange place and I didn't know what was going on until Alexander Pierce, the head of Hydra showed his face and told me he would kill my Uncle Tony if I didn't comply with becoming what they wanted." I gave them a small explanation for the video they were seeing, they watched as Alexander Pierce spoke to a seven year old me and threatened to kill Tony, I watched interested as the look of fear on my face before he said he would kill Tony and the lack of emotion on my face after I said I would comply. "You see, I didn't 'join' Hydra, I was seven and my mum had just had murdered right in front of my eyes and I was being told next my uncle was going to be killed if I didn't comply, so I complied and I became the perfect little assassin for them." I spoke while they watched the video play out until a black screen, FRIDAY then played the next video, which was a compilation of my training videos, it flickered between me learning and mastering hand-to-hand combat, martial arts, how to fight with knifes, how to shoot guns. It then changed to me being taught ballet, in order to aid my fighting. There were videos of me sitting at a computer hacking different secure servers and systems around the world. The second to last clip was of a 'tutor' sitting down with me and learning me every language that could be thought of. The final clip was of Pierce and Rumlow congratulating me on passing stage one and that I would progress to stage two soon. Everyone had kind of become huddled around the bed, it was a bit silly to think that the worlds greatest and strongest heroes were all huddled around a hospital bed.

"That was stage one?" Natasha spoke up and I nodded, not really allowing any emotion to enter my voice.

"I'd turned ten before that last video was shot, I was a fully fledged assassin by aged 10 and according to Pierce I could destabilize governments if I'd been ordered to." I told them and turned back to the screen where FRIDAY played the next video. "This is stage two." I spoke in a monotone, hating this next part.

(Steve pov)

My mind was reeling from finding out that the young girl in front of me was Eve's daughter, my Eve's daughter. I did the math in my head and my heart thundered as I came to the shattering reality that Eden, the girl in the hospital bed in front of me because Clint had shot a poison arrow through her shoulder, was more than likely my daughter too. I didn't have time to process though as videos began playing of Eden being trained under Rumlow and various other trainers until she became what Alexander Pierce wanted, I was sick to my stomach at the thought of the petite seven year old who had just witnessed her mother die, having to comply with a much older man to keep what she thought was the last of her family alive, to then being forced to learn how to shoot guns and how to fight fully grown men in order to survive. My heart shattered for the girl in the bed next to where we had all gathered in order to watch the screen.

"That was stage one?" Natasha spoke up and I looked to Eden who nodded.

"I'd turned ten before that last video was shot, I was a fully fledged assassin by aged 10 and according to Pierce I could destabilize governments if I'd been ordered to." She told us in an emotionless tone and turned back to the screen where FRIDAY played the next video. "This is stage two." She added, I peeled my eyes from her face and turned back to the screen where a lab was shown.

Scientists and agents were roaming around the lab shown on the screen, voices were heard but they were distorted however, it wasn't long before the voices were clear and thankfully speaking English. "Today colleagues we move onto stage two of the ghost assassin program, experiment 40324 will be submerged into the hydro-chamber, while submerged she will be injected with substance 10289 to see if the body accepts or rejects the substance." The one who must have been the lead scientist spoke into a microphone and then the camera panned to Eden who was being dragged along by two agents who restrained her and forced her into the hydro-chamber, water began filling the chamber up and with how fast it was filling up I could see the panic and the pure fear that was on Eden's face. Once the water had filled up over her head when eight needles came to life and attached themselves to her body, a blue liquid injected into her body and her eyes which were originally shutting shot open and she began screaming under the water, it was easy to see from the amount of bubbles that were in front of her face. She then passed out for a few minutes only to wake up and attack the scientists, it took four agents to pull her off and sedate her.

"If you couldn't already tell I was injected with Howard Starks super soldier serum, the changes obviously stuck for whatever reason." I started, "I was kept sedated and locked in my room until they thought it was time to give me a trainer who was of a similar ability to me, of course that was Bucky, who was obviously more of the winter soldier at that time but we still became friends, which is why I wanted to get him out because I had seen everything they had done to him. So we trained and when Pierce thought I was ready he sent us both out on a mission to kill a scientist, which is where I saw Natasha for the first time. I didn't want you to get hurt but it would have been so much worse if you hadn't have. So I shot Bucky and left him bleeding out on the road with Natasha's GPS turned on so they would be found. I'm assuming that the next video is of what came next." Eden filled them us on what happened in-between.

"Eden, I'm so sorry…" Uncle Tony trailed off, she shook her head.

"There's nothing to be sorry for Uncle Tony, it's not your fault." Eden told him and grabbed his hand, "My mum however, would probably would have punched you by now." I chuckled myself remembering how much she used to hit Tony and even me… when she was alive.

"Your mum was my dad's favourite, I'm pretty sure she could have punched him and he'd have bought her a house." He chuckled and kissed Eden's forehead, she leaned into his body and it was evident that felt content. "FRIDAY play the next clip." Tony instructed and the clip instantly began playing.

Eden was tied to a chair, her head lolled to the side telling me she was already sedated enough to not be able to escape or use her strength. Rumlow appeared on the screen, taunting the girl and running his hand over the upper part of her body, even though she was sedated it was easy to see that she recoiled away from his touch, my blood boiled at the thought. He didn't like the fact he'd recoiled and punched her making her head snap to the side, he didn't stop until Pierce walked into the room and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt ordering Rumlow to stand aside. Pierce grunted with the force he was hitting Eden, when she looked up her face was all cut up and bloodied. But the torture didn't end there, it continued on as a scientist came in and injected something into her arm.

"I'm not sure what they injected me with but when I woke up, I was completely healed and I had telekinesis." I told them and held my hand up showing them the purple orb that was sitting in my hand. I was taught to control it and how to harness it too and so now I have full control… it sometimes goes a little haywire when I'm angry, scared or in danger." Eden told us all and I looked at the tears that had rolled down her cheeks, my eyes filled with tears at the thought of her being so scared that she had no one there for her at all.

"Sir, should I bring up The Ghost Assassin file… it appears that it has firewalls placed in the file." FRIDAY spoke up and I glanced up at the monitor confused as to what could be in the file.

"Yes hack it and show us what's in there." Tony told FRIDAY and she instantly began decrypting and breaking down the firewall. It took a few minutes until she hacked it and when she did multiple pages of Eden's file came up on the monitor.

"Should I read out the information?" FRIDAY asked and Tony confirmed.

"Eden-May Sinclair-Rogers born June 12th 2000, mother Eve Margaret Sinclair, father Steven Grant Rogers…"
