"Wake up." Ella said as she slapped John hard across his face and she had to admit that she liked the shocked look that was on his face as he realized who it was that had overpowered him.
"You bitch!" John yelled out as he struggled in the chair she had tied him to.
"Hello to you to." Ella said as she leaned back in her own chair with her arms crossed as she stared at him.
"I should have killed you when i had the chance." John said.
"You did try remember not once but two times." Ella said as she held up two fingers.
"I wont miss next time." He said with a nasty smile on his face as he looked around the room and he did a double take by the door to his study as he sees one of his men laying there.
"Oh yeah." Ella said as she turned to look over her shoulder to see the man laying out side the door." I killed them." She said as she looked back at John.
"Now." She said, clapping her hands together." You and i are going to have a talk."
"I got nothing to say." John said as he kept one struggling against the rope so he didn´t see the knife Ella had taken out until he screamed out in pain and he looked down to see a knife in his thigh.
"Like i said." She said as she twisted the knife as he screamed out." We need to talk."
"Talk about what!"
"The winter soldier." Ella said and she could see by the look on his face that he knew who she was talking about.
"Why do you want to know about the winter soldier?" John asked as he tried to get his breathing under control.
"Who is he?"
"Come one Ella." John said with a shake of his head." You know i can´t tell you that."
"Not the answer i was looking for, so." Ella said as she pulled the knife out of his thigh and pushed it into his other thigh.
"You bitch!" He screamed out.
"I know you know who he is cause you know what i found out?" Ella said as she held up a finger." And this one is my favorite." Your grandfather was a part of the team that worked on a secret project called asset and." Ella said as she leaned down to picked something off the floor.
John sees her leaning back up and in her hand she is holding a folder and she opened it and took out an old photo for him to see and his eyes wide as he sees who is in the photo.
"That is your grandfather." Ella said as she pointed to a man." And this man." She pointed to a short man with glasses." Arnim Zloa. Who s.h.i.e.l.d. took as a prisoner of war during the 40s." She said as she throw the photo at him.
"So i am going to ask you again. What is the asset or should i say who?"
"If i tell you they are going to kill me."
"Either them or me." Ella said as she leaned forward in her chair as she pulled out a gun from behind her back.
"Ella come one." John begged.
"Give me a name." She said as she pointed the gun between his legs." You going to give me a name cause you know i will shot you."
"Sergeant Barnes!" He yelled out.
"I am sorry?" Ella said with a confused look on her face." Sergeant Barnes as in." She said as she waved the gun towards his face.
"James Buchanan Barnes."
"That is not possible cause he died in the 40s."
John started to laugh as he sees the confused look on her face." That is what Captain America things as well so how do you think he is going to react when he realized it is dear old friend that is trying to kill him?"
"James Barnes is the winter soldier? how?"
"The froze him each time he completed a mission and the second he start to remember anything about his old life the wipes his memory."
"You people are sick." Ella said said lifted her gun and she was going to shoot him, but she stopped as she heard her phone beep and she reached her hand into the pocked of her jacked and pulled out her phone, her eyes wide when she sees who it was and she quickly stood as she placed the phone back inside the pocked.
"It is your lucky day." She said with a smile as she softly clapped his cheek." Before she turned and walked out of his study, but what he said made her stop and turn around.
"What did you say?" She asked.
"You leave me alive and i will hunt down ever one you ever loved starting with..." Was all he got out before she shoot him once... twice in the chest.
"Your luck ran out." She said as she turned and walked out of the study and into the hallway and she is almost at the front door when someone grabbed a hold of her pant leg and she looked down to see one of John´s men and she leaned down so she can whisper into his ear.
"Tell Pierce i am coming for him next." Ella said as she hit him in the head with her gun before she gets back on her feet and walks out of the front door.
Ella walked down the dark tunnel and she stopped as she sees light coming up ahead and she wiped the blood that was coming from the gash on her forehead before she continued down the tunnel and she turned towards the light and she sees Fury laying in a bed and he looked really bad.
"Did you know?" Ella asked.
Fury turned his head to see her standing in the doorway and if he didn´t know any better, he would have through she had just returned from battle by the way she looked.
"Did i know what?" Fury asked as he sits up in the bed as she walks into the room and sits down on the chair beside his bed.
"That James Buchanan Barnes is the winter soldier?" She asked leaned back in the chair.
"I through as much." Fury said as he pointed his finger towards her head." You got some blood.."
Ella wipes the blood away with the back of her sleeve just as a man walks into the room and she reached for her gun, but she puts it away when Fury tells her, he is his doctor.
"Sorry." Ella said.
"None taken." The doctor said as he walked towards her and reached his hand out towards her.
"What are you doing?" Ella asked.
"I am going to check you over real quick." He said as he lifted her head as he stared into her eyes for a few second." You don´t have a concussion, but the gash on your forehead are going to need stitches." He said as he walked away to get what he needs.
"Are you going to tell Rogers?" Ella asked as she lets out a hiss as the doctor moves the needle into her skin.
"He doesn´t need to know right now." Fury said.
"What are you going to do cause he is going to find out. The winter soldier was the one that shoot you at his apartment that night and the have send him after Rogers."
"You sure?"
"Yeah." She said as she hissed again." You done doc?" Ella asked cause of she hated one thing it was needles.
"I am just about.. Done." The doctor said as he stepped away from her.
"Thanks." Ella said as she smiled up at the doctor before turning her head back to Fury.
"How do you even know any of this?"
"I might have when to see someone for answers." Ella said as she moved out of the chair.
"You when to see him didn´t you?"
"Maybe."
"Is he still alive?" Fury got his answer by the look on her face and he could see some sadness behind the cold look she had one her face.
"I am sorry." fury said.
"For?" Ella asked.
"I know how you once felt about him." Fury said.
"That all ended when i learn it was him that sold me out to hydra and.." Ella was about to say something else when the doctor came back into the room.
"Hill are bringing Rogers and the two others back here as we speak." He said.
"Then i should probably leave." Ella said as she turned to leave.
"I think it is time you all meet." Fury said as he sees her stop in her track and she turned around to look at him." I work best alone."
"You have been working alone for to long." Fury said with a sigh as he sees the annoyed look on her face." Maybe it is time for you to work with a team that will have your back for once." Fury told her cause after knowing for for some years now, he knew she need to learn to trust people again and who better to trust them Rogers.
