"Welcome to your temporary home Barnes."

"Now that we're safe," Bucky started, dropping everything he was holding on the ground. "I want answer to all my questions."

"I don't think you're ready for answers yet." Isabella said taking him in cautiously. She noticed his eyes were getting dark, and distant. "How about I show you to your room, and-"

Suddenly she felt herself be thrown against the wall, and Bucky, no, The Winter Soldier had his bionic hand wrapped around her neck. "This isn't a game. I've trusted you up to this point, and I want answers."

Panicking, Isabelle used her powers to push the soldier off of her. "Jarvis, fight mode." She said to the house.

This time when the soldier came at her, he was blocked by an invisible force field that shocked him every time he touched it. "What is this?!" He asked angry.

"I told you it's a safe house. It's designed to keep me safe." She said calmly, while trying to catch her breath.

The soldier slammed both his fists against the invisible wall, as if it was going to give way, and instead it sent an even more powerful shock over his entire body. He collapsed to the floor.

"Jarvis, lower the wall." Bella called.

"Are you sure miss?" Jarvis questioned.

"Yes, I think it's safe now." She said, and then the wall was gone as she kneeled down to what looked to be normal Bucky now. "Are you okay?"

He looked up at her with his pained, light blue eyes. "I'm sorry, I just..." He trailed off not being able to finish.

"They tortured you for 70 years Buck. It's understandable." She said pushing his hair out of his face.

Offering out her hand to help him up, Bucky took it. He felt a small wave of electricity hit him. Not like before though. This was a different kind. It was the kind that hurts your heart in the end, not your body.

Isabella gave Bucky a small smile, and walked to one of the duffle bags. She picked it up, and handed it to him.

"I'm pretty sure I got you the right sizes." She said then grabbed the other two. "Jarvis, could you please put the groceries away. We're going to get settled."

"Right away." Jarvis responded.

Bucky's eyes widened when he saw what happened next. Mechanical arms suddenly started appearing. Scanning an item, and then putting it where it belonged. Technology really had come a long way since his time.

"I know," Isabella said with a smile, "it still amazes me too... Now come this way."

She led him down a hall that led to stairs. "Down those stairs is a gym. Stocked with about 20 punching bags, and up here," she started walking up the stairs, motioning for him to join, "is our rooms."

As they reached the top of the stairs he saw 6 different doors. "Uh..." Bucky started.

"I know there's a lot." She said leading them to the two doors at the end. "I wasn't sure when I built this if I'd need to house the Avengers some day or not. So, I built 6 rooms."

Opening the last door on the right, she threw her bags down on the bed. Bucky didn't walk in her room. He didn't want to cross any boundaries yet.

He did manage to catch a glimpse of a black and white photograph. It was clearly Bella in a wedding dress, her arms wrapped around someone's neck as they kissed her cheek. He couldn't quite see who was kissing her in the picture, but she looked so happy.

"Your rooms going to be across the hall." She said snapping him out of his thoughts. Walking out of her room, she shut the door. She opened the other door for him, and he could tell this has to be Steve's room.

"If you can't tell, this is Cap's room." She slightly chuckled, confirming his initial thoughts. Taking in everything being red, white, and blue, he noticed another black and white photo. It was him and Steve. There was also a colored one of Isabella, and Steve right next to it. Bucky picked up the photo of him and Steve.

"How'd you get this?" He asked confused.

"Howard saved everything of Steve's." Isabella said with a small smile. "We still pay for his apartment in Brooklyn and everything. That's only a copy. The original is still there."

Bucky looked at Isabella questionably. "You said you're a Stark, but you never gave your first name."

Isabella straightened out. "My names Isabella, but you can call be Bella if you'd like."

Bucky's head started pounding as a memory was coming through.

Bucky walked into English class. It was his first day of senior year, and he was exited. High school seemed to drag on forever, and he was ready to get out.

As he was walking to the back of the classroom (he really did hate sitting up front), he noticed a blonde girl that'd he has never seen before.

My next victim. Bucky thought with a smirk.

He made his way to the girl, and sat in the desk next to her. "Is this seat taken he asked."

She looked at him, as if reading him. "Yes." She snapped then looked out the classroom window.

"By whom, may I ask?" Bucky questioned, knowing well that no one was sitting next to her.

She looked at him with a smile. "Anyone but you." Bucky was shocked. Usually females would be begging for him to sit next to them. "You can leave now."

"I'll make you a deal." He said, as he moved to sit in the seat in front of her now.

"That ones taken too." She said with an evil smile. "Plus, I don't need to make deals. You can leave now."

"I'll leave if you tell me your name." Bucky said. He needed to know the name of the first woman to ever reject him.

The girl contemplated telling him her name. "Isabella... Most call me Bella... You can call me neither, seeing as I'd never like to see or speak to you again." She said waving him away. "Now go."

Bucky got up with a smile. "How about I just call you Izzy then?" He smirked as he walked away from the blonde.

"Bucky!" He heard a distant voice call out. "For the love of all things green! Can you hear me? Buck?!"

Bucky suddenly was back in the safe house. He was struggling to breathe. "I'm sorry," he said trying to compose himself. "It's just, when memories come back..."

Isabella looked at him with worried eyes. Bucky studied her well. She looked almost identical to the Isabella in his flash back. The only difference was their hair... Maybe they were related.

"Are you okay?" She asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay." Bella gave him a worried look, but dropped it. "I know you want answers to everything, but I'm beyond exhausted. The bathrooms right through that door. Not to sound too rude, but you need to shower."

Bucky rolled his eyes say her. "Thanks for being subtle."

"Not problem." Bella said sarcastically. "When I wake up, I'll make dinner. If you're hungry now, just ask Jarvis for a snack. If you need anything, please try and need it after my nap."

"Will do princess." Bucky said with a fake smile.

Isabella just shook her head and walked to her room.

Throwing herself on her bed, she grabbed the photo that was on her night stand. It was her on her wedding day. She was so happy, and would give anything to go back to that time. It was simple, no Hydra, no SHIELD, no Avengers...

It wasn't that simple anymore though. Everything was a lot more complicated.

"I won't let you down again." She said tracing the outlines of the face in the photo. "I promise... Till death do us part."
