The next day, Hope woke up in a containment chamber, with chains in her hands. Terrified.

"Hello? HELLO?!" Hope screamed. This particular moment reminds her of HYDRA. She always sit in a cell, dumbfounded about wherever she going to another 'session.' Scared of her mind of what might come next. The bad times.

Hours later, someone finally came. Steve.

"Hey, sweetpea." Steve said with a smile. Hope then felt better after seeing him again.

"Why am I in here?" Hope asked.

"Hope...."

"Why am I here?"

"Because they don't want you acting out again. Having these breakdowns."

"So you're just going to keep me in here? Like what they did?" Hope asked. Steve sighed.

"I'm sorry but this is the way it has to be. I don't call the shots. I'm sorry." Steve said.

"Are you?"

Later that day, the Avengers called in a meeting for the behavior of Hope and the disappearance of Dedrick. Steve felt the most guilty and confused of what happened yesterday. Tony called them into the conference room.

"Hey, guys. Now, some of you probably know why I went you guys here. We're here to talk about Hope." Tony said before he touches his phone and shows a photo of Hope's data. "As we know, Hope was trained into a Winter Soldier to kill us. By Dedrick. When it seems like he's still do so. S.H.I.E.L.D already found 50 another kids just like her. Both manipulated and has abilities. But they have a tattoo of numbers. But Hope doesn't. Which is a sign. Romanoff, how is Tom?" Tony explained.

"Well, he's still alive. But he still demands to see his family." Natasha reported.

"Let him see his family. Maybe we could get more answers from him. Go." Tony orders as the team goes off. "Steve. Stay. I need to talk to you."

Steve knew where this was going. So he sat right back down and look at him.

"What is it?" Steve sighed.

"Steve, what the hell happened yesterday?" Tony asked, looking down.

"I don't know." Steve said. Tony scoffed.

"You don't know, huh? Well, what do you think happened? Captain?"

"What I think? I think she saw or heard something that she didn't take very well. Why?"

"Because Cap, it seems like I'm going to be right this time."

"Tony, I don't want to hear it right now."

"No, no, no. Don't hide this. You know what this is. We both know what this is." Tony said as Steve attempts to leave.

"Goodbye, Tony."

"Sure, try to leave and ignore me! But when she goes psycho on our asses, you owe me a dollar!"

When Steve and Natasha found Tom's family, they placed them in a small, dull room. And went to Tom in his evaluation room.

"Hey, Tom." Natasha said, comforting. "Had a good sleep?"

"Do you have my family?" Tom asked them.

"Do you want them to?" Steve asked as Tom gets confused.

"Wait, they're here?" Tom asked.

"Yup. It took a long time to but we did." Natasha said.

"Well, where are they?! I want to see them!" Tom demanded.

"Well, you heard the man."

——————

Natasha and Steve took him to the room that they kept his family. To let Tom see his family.

When they got there, Natasha led him to them. To see a mother with jet black hair and big green eyes and a 2-year-old girl in a pink poofy dress with little brown pigtails.

"Bella?" Tom said, with his eyes watering. The girl snapped her head up to see the love of her life.

"Tom? Oh mein Gott. (Oh my god.)" Bella says before they both hugged. "Ich dachte, ich hätte dich verloren. (I thought I lost you.)"

"Bist du in Ordnung? Hat er dir weh getan? Verletzen Melanie? (Are you ok? Did he hurt you? Hurt Melanie?)"

"Nein. Uns geht es gut. (No. We're fine.)"

"I wonder who 'he' is." Natasha spoke up.

"Look, I already told you. I'm not helping you." Tom said.

"Listen, we're going to help you but you have to work with us. Or else he will kill everyone. Including your family. So do us a flavor, for your family sake, please help catch this man." Steve said before Tom took a second to think.

"Tom, sie haben Recht. (Tom, they're right.)" Bella said putting a hand on his shoulder. Tom sighed.

"Fine. I'll do it."

  —————— 

They set Tom in a dark alley to met up his assistant Troy. He was wearing a hoodie with a wire underneath. He waits anxiously as Natasha and Steve watch them.

"I told you. He isn't coming." Tom said on his earpiece.

"Keep waiting. He'll come." Steve says.

And after a few minutes, he did. He had a suit and a fedora, covering his face. Becoming a enigma. He had a suitcase, walking to Tom.

"Hey. You came." Tom said smirking.

"Schön dich wieder zu sehen. (Nice to see you again.)" Troy speaks. "Haben sie von unserem Plan erfahren? (Did they find out about our plan?)"

"Nein, sie haben mich einfach gehen lassen. (No, they just let me go.)" Tom lies.

"Perfekt. Wir müssen sofort gehen. (Perfect. We must leave at once.)" Troy said grabbing his hand and pulling it out of the alley.

"Okay. Let's go." Natasha says to Steve. Steve nods.

They ran until Cap's shield stopped him. It hit his head, causing him to blackout. Tom turned around.

"Jeez. Did you really need to do that?" Tom asked.

"Yep. And you're welcome."
——————

When they came back, they put him in an interrogation room, with handcuffs on his hands. Troy suddenly awaken to see himself handcuffed to the chair.

"Was zum Teufel? (What the hell?)" Troy said.

"I see you're awake." Natasha said sitting next to her.

"Wer zum Teufel sind Sie? (Who the fuck are you?)" Troy gritted his teeth as Natasha gets up and pours tea.

"Oh. Nur eine Person. (Oh. Just a person.)" She said as she pours the tea in her mug. "Eine Person, die Leute wie dich kennt. (A person who knows about guys like you.)"

"Was weißt du über mich? (What do you know about me?)" Troy asked her as Natasha chuckled.

"Was ich über dich weiß? Nun, ich weiß, dass du einen erwachsenen Mann das Leben eines kleinen Mädchens ruinieren lässt. (What I know about you? Well, I do know that you let a grown man ruin a little girl's life.)" Natasha said before sipping her tea.

"That's none of your business." Troy said in English.

"Huh? It speaks English." Natasha said.

"How do you even know? Did Tom tell you?" He asked before Natasha shushed him.

"You don't ask questions, ok? I ask you. Got it?" Natasha said pulling onto his collar.

"I rather die." Troy says before he spits on her face. Natasha chuckled and pushes his head to the metal table.

"Bastard." Natasha said before storming out the room.

"Hail Hydra."

Bucky was visiting Hope in her cell to check on her. Hope was feeling woeful and fearful because of the cell. She felt like she was in hell again. Hydra. She was angrier than upset at Steve for not letting her in here. She was beyond livid.

"Hey, sweetpea." Bucky uttered at the poor girl. Hope didn't even respond. Just turned her head.

"Tony said you can go with Penny to Six Flags tomorrow." Bucky continues. But she still doesn't respond. "I'm so glad that you're okay. You really had me worried."

"Is he mad at me?" Hope finally ask him.

"What?" Bucky asked.

"Steve. Is he mad at me?" Hope asked again.

"No." Bucky said bluntly. "He had no other choice. It wasn't his choice."

"Then whose was it?" Hope asked sternly.

"I can't tell you." Hope scoffed after he said that.

"Don't bother. I know who did. And I know why."

"Why?"

"Because everyone is afraid of me. And I thought you guys would be different. I guess I was different."

"I'm not afraid of you. Steve isn't afraid of you. Natasha isn't afraid of you. Wanda isn't afraid of you. No one is afraid of you."

"That's a lie. You seem like you're not scared of me, but I see the truth. Remember?" Hope said tearing up. "Now do me a favor and leave me be."

"Okay."
