"ugh ow" I wake up groaning my back is killing me looks like hotel beds aren't so great after all, I put the tv on and watch some news.
Reporter: Former HYDRA Assasin The Winter Soldier or James Buchanan Barnes is on the loose! And a report from Tony Stark himself says to keep away from him at all costs he is a very dangerous man and is not in his right mind. Stark also goes on to say Hydra have him brainwashed and that makes him even more dangerous If you see him do not approach and call the police immediately!"
They show a picture of The Winter Soldier "It's The Metal Armed man!" I groan welp there's my job for today I suppose hunt down Soldier boy.
I go get dressed In Black leggings and combat boots with a black tank top and my leather jacket "Maybe this will help me get to Stark" I make my way to my new Rental car and scan the city for the Soldier after about 10 minutes I see him in an old warehouse about 2 blocks from here "found you! Same idea as me huh" I laugh and make my way to him.

I park my car a few minutes down the road and slowly but cautiously make my way into the building "Solicit detalii despre misiune, nesigur din împrejurimile mele. Ma citesti?" (Requesting mission details, Unsure of my surroundings. Do You read me?) I peak around the corner and see The man with his back to me talking into an old modified police scanner, I can immediately tell this version of the man is a lot more dangerous and different than the man who restrained me at the Avengers Tower. Almost Immediately he pulls out his gun and fires it at me I duck behind a pillar and wait "Ai terminat?" (Are you done?) I ask back in Romanian yes I know the language "Nu voi fi terminat până nu ești mort!" (I won't be done until you are dead!) He growls I can hear him slowly making his way closer to me I turn into a fly and fly past him, I turn back into my human form and wait behind another pillar. He looks behind the one I was previously at very confused "Sunteți gata să vorbiți ca o persoană normală încă sau ...?" (Ready to talk like a normal person yet or...?) He turns around almost too fast and runs toward me I turn into a fly again and land on the roof beams as I turn back "Ce naiba ești?" (What the hell are you?) He actually looks very worried now "Ei bine, pentru unul nu sunt o amenințare pentru tine" (Well for one I am not a threat to you) He points the gun at me again
"Toată lumea este o amenințare pentru mine!" (Everyone is a threat to me!") I jump off the beam and slowly walk toward him with my hand up "Cum pot să vă arăt că nu sunt dușmanul vostru?" (How can I show you I am not your enemy?) He lowers the gun very slowly as an odd look comes over his face "Te-am oprit la turnul acela pe care ți l-ai rupt, de ce ai fost acolo?" (I restrained you back at that tower you broke your arm, Why were you there?) I sit on a pile of wood beams "Răzbunătorii vor să meargă după prietenul meu, vor muri, așa că am vrut să încerc să-i conving pe ei să-l lase în pace" (The Avengers want to go after my friend, They will die doing so I wanted to try and convince them to leave him alone) He growls at me "Sunteți pe partea lor!"(YOU ARE ON THEIR SIDE!) He lunges at me again this time I allow it he tackles me to the floor and grabs my throat I talk to him in his mind "Dacă chiar crezi că mă omor acum" (If you really believe that kill me now) And he does it.

I wake up in the warehouse surrounded by the Avengers! "You were dead we just called it in! How the hell are you alive now!?" Stark says so very confused "Magic" I simply say and stand up only to be grabbed by Thor "My friends told me you were quite the threat back at the Tower so I will keep a hold of you for now" I laugh "Ok then" I turn into a mouse, Run away from him and turn back into a human about 6 feet from them "Well that's a new one" Hawkeye mumbles "You might as well give up you can't hold me nothing can" I smile and sit down on a pile of wooden planks "She is going to be a problem, What do we do?" The woman Black Widow asks Stark as he stands mouth opened in shock "Pot să ajut cu problema soldatului tău" (I can help with your soldier problem) Black Widow turns to me "Cum?"(How?) I laugh at the Romanian word for How as she blushes "Până când m-am sufocat de moarte am avut o conversație plăcută până când am vorbit despre Răzbunători atunci când ma ucis" (Well until he choked me to death we had a pleasant conversation until we talked about The Avengers that's when he killed me) She tells Tony what I said and he comes over to me "Explain to me again how you are alive right now and then we can talk" I groan grab his head in both hands I let my power flow through me to show him my powers and the scene with the soldier also to keep the others from pulling us apart,Lets just say that could end very badly like vegetable badly. I stop showing him my memories of that and let him go keeping a shield around me just in case. "What the hell did you do!?" Cap asks walking toward Tony "Don't I'm ok she showed me how she is alive and what happened with her and Barnes" Tony shakes his head and straightens up "It is a lot less complicated to just show you rather than try and explain it in words" I smile and show everyone else too as I did with Tony. About 10 minutes later everyone is up to speed. "The Soldier thinks I am dead so I have an advantage for going after him he won't expect it at all" They walk into the other room and discuss it.

About 20 minutes later they walk back out and look at me "Where are you staying right now?" Stark asks "I would rather not say"
"Doesn't matter because wherever you were staying you are coming to the Avengers tower with us, You will be under surveillance by my AI Jarvis and You will take orders from me Oh and if this goes to our liking we MIGHT and I mean might let your friend Klaus off the hook" Stark smiles at me "Ok but I have a problem there are people who come and check on me every couple of days and it will be disastrous if they can't do their job I mean death of everyone here disastrous" They look somewhat worried "Ok explain now, Who are these people?" Stark asks "Do you know what Klaus is? How he kills?" Tony shakes his head "No we didn't figure that out we just knew it was him" I groan "Well you are really going to hate me for this I can not tell you who the people are because that would also mean your deaths" I mumble as Tony glares at me "Oh give me a break all of this about our deaths just tell me we are The Avengers for christ sake!"
"Ok I will make everyone a deal right now If I tell you what they are all of you have to let me put a shielding spell on your minds to hide the fact you know this its the only way you will be safe that and when they do come to check on me you have to play dumb even if it is extremely obvious, Deal?" Everyone mumbles "Deal" and I nod "Ok My father is a Vampire King and yes Vampires exist the people who check on me are his guards they are also vampires and they all have gifts one of them for example is what we call a tracker he can find anyone and anything after he gets there scent once, So If he can't get to me my father will come himself and if that happens well its not going to be good" I give them a minute to take it in "Ok so Vampires right well if you are telling the truth how are you here from what myths say they can't have children" I head toward the door and turn back to them "Well this is the part where I may have to leave, My mother was from a different dimension she made it possible. I am part Shape-shifter, Part Whatever my mother was the power I possess is from her and then my fathers part I am part Vampire too I don't drink blood unless I am desperate and I don't age anymore I turned 18 and I have stayed this way for the past 50 years. I also have this fun gift where I can die but I don't stay dead for more than 2 hours sometimes its only a few minutes" They all stare mouths wide and quiet until Tony perks up "So You are literally untouchable?" I smirk "Pretty much and I know what you are thinking where have I been the past 50 years then? Well my father owns a castle in Italy and I had been living there quite happily until I had to leave" My smile falls into a frown "Why did you leave?" Cap asks "I would really rather not talk about that part its very personal and a very recent wound" He nods in understanding as Tony turns back to me "Well I will let these people visit you as long as you make sure no harm comes to my team, Deal?" I nod "Deal" Everyone including me heads to The Avengers Tower.
