Zoe finished putting the groceries away then she grabbed the bags that had Bucky's clothes she would wash them but didn't just in case he didn't like them and wanted to take them back. She stopped off at her room which was next to Bucky's to grab the copy of The Hobbit that she had seen the book store that she went with Steve a few weeks earlier. She went to Bucky's room which also had balcony with a view of the mountains. She put the shirts in the closet and folded pants into the dresser drawers. She quickly stuff the underwear still in the package as well as socks. Then placed the book on the bed side table with a note.

She was shutting the door when she saw Nat walking upstairs. "Hey Zoe got everything in Bucky's room alright?" Nat asked. Zoe nodded "Yeah it's all the the drawers but nothing is washed just in case he doesn't like something."replied Zoe. "Makes sense and since the boys will be here tomorrow let's have a girls night and watch some movies and just pig out" said Nat. "Oh yes there was a few romantic comedies that I grabbed let's watch those" replied Zoe. "You grab the movies I will grab the munchies" said Nat.

They were into the second movie Never Been Kissed when Nat "I always wanted to go to American High School because of movie like this and Clueless and The Perfect Score" sighed Nat. This made Zoe laugh thinking of the last movie Nat mentioned which made Nat give her a weird look. "Sorry Nat it's just that High School isn't anything like those movie at all well at least not for me and the last movie you said had the actress who plays you and the actor who play Steve in it" laughed Zoe. Nat arched her eyebrow "Are we now?" asked Nat.  Zoe nodded "Yeah Scarlett and Chris have played in 7 to 8 movies and Captain isn't Chris's first superhero role that would go to The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies" replied Zoe shaking her head. "My alter ego is named Scarlett?" asked Nat. Zoe nodded "She is really talented and I hear she is super nice as well but very private  I mean she didn't even announce last pregnancy, till after the baby was born I mean I totally get it wanting to keep your life outside private..."replied Zoe but stopped when saw the look on Nat's face. "Oh Nat I am sorry I didn't even think before I spoke" said Zoe humbly. Nat just shook her head. "How many?"asked Nat. "Nat..."started Zoe bit Nat cut her off  "How many children and is she happy?" snapped Nat.

Zoe bit her lip "She has two kids a girl named Rose and boy named Cosmo and she seems very happy with her husband Colin" responded Zoe. Nat sat there quietly for a few minutes and Zoe moved over slowly and wrapped her arms around her and Nat just lean her head on Zoe's shoulder and they just sat there quietly. A few minutes later Nat pulled away Zoe put her arms down "I am sorry Nat for bringing that up I shouldn't have been so thoughtless" said Zoe with a tense tone. Nat just shook her head "No Zo it's fine at least somewhere out there some version of me has a good life" responded Nat.

Nat reached forward and grabbed the bottle of wine and poured a big glass for herself. Zoe watched with an amused face as Nat down most of it in one swallow. "Feel better now?" asked Zoe laughing. Nat smirked then down the rest "Of course alcohol makes everything better" answered Nat. "If you say so Nat" said Zoe. Nat giggled at little "That's right you can't get drunk with you being a super soldier goddess heck I wonder if you could get drunk on Thor's ale it's the only thing that can get Steve drunk" said Nat. "Whatever Nat, now let's enjoy the rest of this movie and treats" said Zoe.

Zoe laid bed early in the morning trying to sleep but it was invading her. In just few short hours she would see Steve again that made her smile but she would also be seeing Bucky in person for the first time. Zoe hated to admit it but she was nervous. How will he act round me I just want him to know that I know it wasn't his fault it was Hydra's thought Zoe. Zoe rolled over and grabbed her Kindle fire to play some soft music it always worked in the past to calm her mind. Within 15 minutes she was she sleeping.

Zoe was standing before a small lake surrounded by trees colorful with reds and oranges and yellows. She knew this lake it was near her childhood home. Her adoptive parents would take her and Nicole here at times for family picnics. She was dressed in flowing material her hair was curled and braided in a half up do and cascading curls down her back. The dress was blue and purple ombre with
silver and gold thread interwoven in the material on the straps there were gold medallions with owls on them. Zoe looked around seeing nothing at first but then a soft hooting made Zoe turn back to the trees to see and owl. It was sitting in the trees with it's large strangely blue-grey eyes. Zoe walked closer towards the trees.

Flashbacks of her outing with her adoptive parents in these wood there was always an owl just sitting in the trees in the middle of the day her father always said it was strange to see owl during the day but there it always was just sitting there watching and a lot of time it seem to coo at them. One time Nicole threw a stick at and it chased her which made Zoe laugh. Zoe shook her head at the memory. The bird suddenly took flight towards her with it large silver wings gliding across the water it's graceful flight took her breathe away.

The owl landed before her and in blink of her eye the owl was gone and stood before was a stunning women with midnight black flowing hair and the same eyes as the owl. "Hello Zoe my sweet girl" spoke the women. The voice rang through Zoe's ears like a soft bird's call in the night at the moon. She knew that voice she had heard so many time before but could never place it till now. She was looking herself almost this women's nose was sharper and the eyes were blue-grey instead brown. "Mom?" questioned Zoe.
