Tony stood there pointing his outstretched palms at us. Steve and Bucky both stood to my right. Bucky eyed me nervously. He had asked that I stay in the Quinjet, but I hadn't listened and there I was. Tony had found out the truth about the death of his parents, Howard and Maria Stark. It hadn't just been a car crash. Hydra had sent their top assassin to kill them-the Winter Soldier. Now as we all stood there ready to fight, it seemed like he old days.

I thought back to when Steve, Bucky, and I were little. I was always a very imaginative child, just ask Steve and Bucky. I was always going on about why squares were called squares and how the three of us would always be there when we needed each other most. That made me think of a day when the boys couldn't be there for me.

The worst bully in all of our elementary school was Vanessa Hill. She was always making fun if everyone but her friends. Oh wait, she didn't have any. One day, I became here newest victim.

"Hey, Sawyer. What's it like to have a dad who deserted?" she yelled at me. It was true. During World War I, my father deserted his regiment to come home to my mother who was expecting my older sister. I tried to ignore Piglet (which was the nickname for Vanessa that Buck,  Steve, and I made up), but she had drawn too much attention to herself and me.

"Anna, let's go. You just need to ignore her." said Bucky while Steve was nearly foaming at the mouth. If Vanessa hadn't been a girl, you can bet that Steve would have already been trying to knock her block off, but she was a girl, so Steve was furious. I tried to walk away, but Piglet grabbed my shoulder.  and pulled me back towards the growing circle of people. I was growing more and more upset with every passing second. She pushed me into the middle of the circle, and yells of "Fight! Fight!" were coming from the crowd. Steve and Bucky just stood towards the back of the group looking concerned. I just stood there staring dumbly at Vanessa. I didn't want to fight anyone.

"What's wrong, Sawyer? Are you scared like you dad? Or how about your mom? We all know that she left your dad because she was scared of what would happen to her since he deserted!" That was the last straw. I took the fighting stance that Bucky had taught me and stood staring at Vanessa over the top of my fist.

"Don't make me do this, Hill." I said, my voice slightly wavering. She laughed and slightly stepped towards me. I mistook her movement for an attack and tried to punch her with my right fist, but that didn't work. She grabbed my fist and kicked me as hard as she could in the area of my ribs. I fell hard against the ground. The people in the crowd laughed and walked away. I moaned as Bucky and Steve ran to my side.

"Are you ok, Anna?" asked Steve. I was in so much pain that I couldn't respond. I could only stare quietly at the sun. After a few minutes, I felt like I could speak.

"I wonder what it would feel like to touch the sun." I wheezed out.

"She's fine." said Bucky. "If she wasn't, she'd be actually talking about how she feels." I turned my head to face him and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Nobody asked you, Buck. Now help me up before my body starts to decompose." After the boys and I got up off of the ground, we headed back to my place, but not before I repeated my question. "What would it feel like to  touch the sun?" The boys both moaned as I kept talking about that and other things of the sort.

Now as we all stood there together, we could all be there for each other. But then there was Tony. He was extremely upset and past the point of wanting to talk through the issue. In his mind, there was no way that Bucky was going to survive the fight, but there was no way that Steve and I were going to let Bucky get hurt.

The fight was initiated by Tony and Steve, Bucky and I just standing there trying to help Steve as much as possible. After a while, we could tell that Steve was starting to get worn out. His punches ere starting to get sloppy, and Becky started to help Steve fight Tony. Tony blasted Steve with the laser in his hand, launching Steve across the room. Tony was starting to get tired too. As Bucky was trying to rip out Tony's arc reactor, I could tell what Tony was going to do. He was going to blast Becky with his arc reactor to try to brutally harm him no matter the cost to his own health. When Tony was just about to fire, I launches myself towards Bucky's left arm and the arc reactor. I hit Bucky's arm just as Tony  blasted the arc reactor. The blast went through my chest, and it took Tony, Steve, and Bucky a moment to realize what had just happened.

Bucky pulled me into his arms and started to cry.

"No, no, no, no..." he said quietly, over and over again. I couldn't speak from the pain. Steve lowered his head.

"What did I tell you, Captain?" Unless we are put in check, more innocent people will die." said Tony. Steve looked up at Tony and glared at him.

"You are a monster. She was-is like a sister to me, and you killed her. You will pay." Steve launched himself at Tony, and they began fighting again. I reached my hand up to touch Bucky's face. He just sat rocking back and forth, clutching my body to him.

"Hey, Buck." I said quietly. He looked up at me. 'You know how all those years ago when we were in third grade wondered what it would feel like to touch the sun?" He started to cry a little harder, but nodded his head. I gave him a weak smile. "I think I know now." I smiled up at him, and as my vision faded, he was the last thing I saw.

I wasn't the only one who didn't leave the fight alive. After I died, and Bucky had placed my body on the cement floor, he and Steve finished Tony. Bucky and Steve took my body back to America so that I could be buried in Brooklyn. Bucky chose what the inscription on my tombstone would be. It said "Anna Felicity Sawyer - A Dreamer and a Fighter Who Achieved Her Goal of Touching the Sun."

The End.
