*3rd Person Pov* 11:30 p.m November 13
Steve was walking along the streets with Kat. They weren't specifically doing anything until they saw a fire truck speeding to a building caught ablaze across the way. They ran to the civilian blockade and just when Steve was about to go over the police barrier Kat tugged on his arm. She was holding a leash in her hand and an eerily familiar German Husky sat at her side, watching the inferno blaze. Steve looked back into the burning building and he could barely make out a figure inside. Their eyes shining with goggles over their eyes. The person looked like no fire fighter and moved with too much fluidity to be a man. The girl jumped up the burning stairs and into the room where a child was calling for help. The roof caved in and Steve gasped. The firefighters had run out of water by now. Nobody had told them that this was a grease fire. Everybody waited in silence. The only sound was the wood crackling in the cold November air. The air shimmers with heat as the building folded in on itself. A figure walked out of the building. Their clothes scorched but intact. Their face was obscured by a mask and goggles. Steve smirked. Allison. She handed the child to his mother. There was silence, ever deafening silence in the streets. The mother looked at Allison and then to her son.
"Who are you?" The mother asked in wonder. Allison looked at her behind the goggles. She stared at the mother and then walked back into the crowd. The people shifted to allow her by. Steve was in wonder as she walked away. Kat felt her phone buzz. A text message was from Allison.
Allison- You saw that. I want to be left alone. I am not Hydra, I am not Shield. I am nothing but a face in the crowd. Treat me as such. Please. I'm so close. Do this for me...friend.
Kat looked to Steve with a look of curiosity
"Should we go by her wishes? Bucky needs her back. I want another girl at the tower." She said as the crowd dispersed. The firemen were helping find anything salvageable in the ruins. They started to walk back to the tower and Steve wrapped an arm around Kat's shoulder.
"I know he does but we can't force her to come here. You should go out and find her. We need to get her off the streets. She's not only a danger to the population but to herself. Follow me, I have something to show you." Steve whispered to her.
They walked for an hour until they made it to the shady part of town. Thugs and brigands are common around this area. They heard shouting and a large group of people walking to a secluded area. Steve and Kat pulled up their hoods so nobody would recognize them. Steve pulled Kat closer to his torso. He didn't trust any of the people here. They found their way to a caged off area of the alley way. Two people stood on opposite sides of the caged off area. One was a notorious crime lord of street fighting. The other was recognizable as Allison. She stood like a professional fighter. Hands blocking her face so a blockade was preventing a concussion. The announcer rang a bell and the man launched himself at Allison. She flipped over his head and landed in a sachet position. She bowed to the audience and locked eyes on her target. The man quickly spun around and charged again. Allison slipped out his grasp once again and punched the back of his kidneys. The man howled in pain. Allison had found his weak spot. She rapidly punched against the skin and the man couldn't get up. The man spun around and grabbed Allison's head in one large fist. He flipped her over his head and into the concrete bellow. A sick crack noise was heard and the crowed cheered. Allison remained on the ground and a pool of blood gathered. Her face was on the ground and the ref was about to declare the man winner. Allison's hand twitched as did her neck. The man was taunting the crowed. Kat tucked her face in Steve's chest. Steve shook her shoulder's and pointed to Allison's figure. She was hoisting herself up. Her nose was bleeding heavily and a large scratch was on her forehead. She was growling now. An animalistic one at that. Her eyes held an insane anger and fire that could have burned the world over twice. The man turned around and gasped. Allison launched herself at him and beat the living crap out of him. Allison had to be pulled off the man by the ref and was declared winner. She was given a handful of cash and then escorted out of the ring. She wiped her face off on a cloth and then walked away. Backup was waiting for her at the door to the alley way. Allison picked up the leash and walked away. Steve bent down to Kat's level.
"You should follow her. Talk to her for a little while and gain her trust. I'll be back at the tower and watch you via satellite. Could you do that?" He whispered. Kat nodded and walked int he direction Allison had walked in. Steve headed back to the tower and was ready to watch Kat via satellite.
*Kat's Pov*
I followed the trail Allison had left. Sure it wasn't really a trail but it was there regardless. It led to that same diner that she first walked into. It was open but nobody was inside. Both Agent Oles and Jimmy were in the back room. I saw Allison sitting at the far left booth. It was pressed against the wall and she was sitting next to the wall. A glass of milk sat in front of her and a bloody rag sitting in her hand. I walked to her and sat in front of her she tensed up and looked at me. My blue eyes clashing with her hazel ones. A low growl rumbled in her through and Backup whimpered. pawing her hand. Allison stopped growling at me but continued to stare
" . " She hissed out in a feral way. She obviously wanted to be left alone but I had to get her off the streets. She was hurting herself in the fighting rings. Nobody should have to live that way.
"I just wanted to talk to you. And possibly help you." I said in an even voice. No need to scare her more than she already was.
"I don't need help. I can make it on my own. It's not like I haven't done this before." She retorted with a curt voice. Still the strong soldier on the outside but the terrified human on the inside.
"Well everybody needs a friend. You already have my phone number but you don't use it often. I know you have nightmares. Everybody does occasionally. Would you like to talk about them?" I asked gently.
"NO." She shouted while pounding the table with her fist. I jumped a bit and then saw her eyes. She let her mental wall fall for a few seconds. In those few seconds I was able to see a wave of emotion practically leaking from her eyes. I saw fear and pain. I saw confusion and anger. There were so many emotions in her eyes I couldn't count them all. Her face then had a blank expression once again. I sat up straighter and watched her place her head on the table. Her frame shook with gentle sobs and I felt bad for her. Bucky had Steve to help him but she had nobody. I placed a hand on her head then walked back to the tower. I would have to get her to come back. Some how.
