The computer next to Steve and it flashes a date.

16 декабря 1991

Knowing that I was five years old and still in the Red Room at that time, I glance at James who stands next to me with a frown.

"An empire toppled by it's enemies can rise again. But one which crumbles from within? That's dead" Zemo declares "Forever"

I walk over to Tony and Steve who are watching the footage and stand next to the blonde Captain.

"I know that road" Tony states "What is this?"

My eyes widen as a car flies into the frame, crashing into a pole. Flames start burning at the hood of the car as a motorcycle pulls up next to it. The man on the motorcycle stands up off of the vehicle and I notice the metal arm before the rest of James' appearance. A white haired man crawls from the driver seat of the car and judging by the look on Tony's face plus the adding up of the dates, I realise that it's his father. Howard Stark.

"Help my wife. Please. Help" Howard pleads.

I watch silently as James grabs Howard's hair and yanks him up.

"Sergeant Barnes?" Howard questions in surprise.

"Howard!" Maria Stark screams as James punches her husband with his metal arm until his body falls limp.

James drags the dead man into the driver seat, laying his head on the steering wheel as Maria screams. The dark haired super soldier rounds the car before grabbing the woman by the throat and strangling her, an emotionless expression on his face. Once the woman is dead he walks up to the security camera and looks right up at it, his face clear as day. He pulls out his gun and shoots at the camera, the footage ending.

There's a short silence before Tony tries to lunge at James but Steve and I grab him.

"No, Tony" Steve warns him.

"Did you know?" Tony asks the blonde man.

"I didn't know it was him" Steve lies.

"Don't bullshit me, Rogers. Did you know?" Tony demands.

"Yes" Steve admits and the look of betrayal on Tony's face as he pulls away from the man makes me frown.

"And you?" The Stark man asks me.

"Tony, I was 5" I argue.

"Did. You. Know?" He grits out in rage.

"No" I answer truthfully "I didn't know"

He nods and I turn my gaze to James who is staring right at me. At first glance, his expression is guilty and remorseful but I look closer to see the fear and worry in his eyes aimed at me.

he's scared I'll hate him

Before I can so much as smile in his direction, Tony throws a hard punch at Steve's face and the blonde is sent flying. James shoots at the Stark man but Tony blasts his gun out of his hand.

With a powerful kick to the back of his knee, Tony's leg buckles under him and allows me to grab him in a chokehold from behind.

"Tony, we can work this out" I assure him.

"Stay out of my way, traitor" Tony spits, blasting us both back until my back slams against the stone wall.

Pain erupts in my back but I keep a hold on the man until he grabs a handful of my hair and pulls me over the top of him. I hit the floor and he makes a move to stomp on me but I roll out the way.

The man then flies right at James, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him into the ground. Tony stomps on James' metal arm to hold him down before trying to blast at his face but Steve throws his shield at the dark haired Stark. Steve and I run at the armoured man, hitting him roughly and he flies backwards.

Recovering, Tony then charges at us and I flip out of the way in time unlike Steve who is sent rolling onto the floor. Tony shoots restraints around the blonde's ankles before James throws his fist at him. I rush over, skidding onto my knees next to Steve before throwing my fist at the technology trapping his legs together. It breaks and I yank it off, throwing it away just as a loud explosion is heard behind me.

Steve jumps up and grabs my arm, pulling me with him as he runs at the fighting men. My eyes widen in surprise as the smoking flame covered tower starts falling towards the one next to it that Tony has James pinned to.

"Ana, down!" Steve orders, pulling me behind him to shield me from the debris.

Once it's all hit the ground, we stand up and I make eye contact with James who is on the opposite side of the fallen tower.

"Get out of here!" Steve demands, pushing me towards him.

Not wasting any time, I leap over the fallen debris and grab a tight hold of James' arm, dragging him along with me as I run. We reach the stairs before a blast is sent our way and James slams me into a wall to dodge it.

I will myself to push away the minor distraction of his body pressed against mine, slamming my fist onto the button that opens the roof up.

"Come on, doll" James quips, tugging me forward.

We both grab onto the lowest metal platform, swinging ourselves up before continuing to climb up the higher ones. Agilely jumping from plat form to platform, I reach the top before James does so I turn to wait on him. I spot the red suit of Tony Stark as he flies upwards and I groan in annoyance. Tony kicks James off of the metal he's hanging onto and the Barnes man flies across the room, hitting the wall.

"Seriously?!" I yell, jumping my way down.

Tony fires a blast at the dark haired man but Steve swoops in, using his shield to deflect it. The blast hits Tony and he falls down onto one of the lower platforms. I reach the men and check them both over in concern.

"He's not gonna stop. Go" Steve tells us.

"Let's go, Barnes" I press and he nods.

He follows directly behind me as I flip and swing my way to the top of the platforms. I reach down and hold my hand out to James who grabs it. A small rocket is fired at us and James pulls me down. The blast hits the hinge on the roof and it falls shut as we land on the metal platform with a clang. 

Tony flies at us and James grabs a metal pole swinging it at the suited man. He dodges the blows and I send a roundhouse kick to his face but he catches my ankle. I try to punch him but he shoves me backwards using my leg. Instead of my back hitting the metal like it has before, I feel myself falling.

"NO!" James shouts in horror.

For a split second, my body feels as though it's floating and my hair blows upwards as my body falls a couple hundred feet towards the cold stone ground.

"Ana!" Steve screams.

That calm floating feeling is ripped away from me as my head slams against the hard ground and my vision goes black.
