I thought I lost you

[stephrogers]

Steph could feel her heart stop when she entered the baby's room. She managed to carry Becky to full term without incident. Even give birth without too much incident. The girl was beautiful, head already full of brown hair and light brown eyes. Rebecca Winifred Barnes. She left the child in care of a carefully SHIELD screened babysitter as they went off on a mission.

But there was something deeply fishy about the mission. About the babysitter. About everything. They managed to destroy the lab and apprehend the small time villain. But Dr. Skoval's boss escaped, shouting about a swell prize.

There had been a rogue agent that had beaten the Avengers to a few minor assignments in Europe. Someone with a damn good shot. IT didn't matter to Steph as she urged Natasha to fly the jet as fast as she could back to Brooklyn.

The scene before her was a disaster: the pink crib was thrown on its side, little ponies and stuffed toys ripped and flung everywhere, the star night lamp that she bought was broken. Steph's hands shook as she read over the letter. Maria and Tony were calling orders already to trace it and follow it.

Which was how she ended up in Switzerland again, shivering not due to cold but to the memory of losing her man here. The facilities were almost too easy to break into and she proceeded with caution with Tony and Natasha as backup.

The mission was to do everything and anything possible to get at Captain America. Take her out. There was nothing truly left of him that was worth mentioning. Even if slight bits of memory filtered in here and there. Every time they thought they were going to lose their Winter Soldier, they'd put him under and brain wash him again. Anything to keep him with them and away from the memories that would have him seeking her out. Luckily everything was starting to fall into place. Right where it belonged. Soon she'd come to get their little one back. And soon the Winter Soldier would take care of all of their problems.

Bucky narrowed his eyes at her as her words filtered through his brain. "I told you that I am home." Except where if they stayed there they were liable to try and take Bucky's memories again. The ones that were surfacing. He keeps his distance from Stephanie though. He had to and he had no intentions of giving her their daughter back. "What makes you think you can teach me any of that?" Even as he asks he looks down at the fussy little girl. "Shh... you're fine," he whispers before humming an old song. Same one that he used to hum when Steph had a hard time sleeping. However, that had been when she was a sickly skinny thing.
