    AAfter a while of waiting and planning, Wanda was given the all clear by bruce to take Anna out of the coma she was in… she had straps on her wrists to keep her in place. So she didnt try to run or hide away… Nat would be asking questions, with bucky sinc he knew a ot about hydra, Bruce asked Kara. If she wouldnt mind being the. Room roo, they wnated to see if Anna would be moreopen tot. Laking if she thoguht the girl Lucia was there with her. Bruce had epxlained that she wouldnt have do or say anything just sit next to seteve while Natasha and bucky asked questions and translated for steve.  

    Anna,who was now calmer thanks to Wanda’s influence,sat there.. she still had a scared look on her face but she was calmer.. ‘’Anastasia.. can you talk to us in english? Or would you prefer Russian?’’ Nat asked as she looked at her,Anna took a. Few. Moments to answer ‘’English is fine’’ she said,the thick Russian accent evry evident int he moment ‘’alright…we’d like to ask some questions.. about hydra’’ bucky said as he stood there at the foot of the bed. ‘’They will kill us if i say a word’’ Anna said ‘’kill who? You and who else?’’ Nat asked ‘’my girl.. Lucia… she will die…’’ Anna said, her eyes quickly darting to Kara before returning to nat, Nat and Bucky shared a look befor ebucky spoke up ‘’Lucia.. is safe for now… but we need you to talk to us’’Bucky said and Anna said. ‘’What do you want from me?’’ She asked softly ‘’everything.. we need to know what hydra is planning so we can stop it’’ nat said ‘’they wish to remove my soul.. i am a vampire.. oldest being to be alive.. hydra.. they wish to remove my humanity.. my soul.. make me into their perfect weapon.. i. Am. To take contorl of the world.. lead the world into domination and place hydra heads in major leader roles.. i am to be the head of hydra.. but they cannot figure out how to remove my soul.. they know my power.. eats at my. Soul.. but because i refuse to shut off my emotions.. they cannot remove my soul’’ Anna explained ‘’how are your emotions tied to it?’’ Bucky asked. ‘’vampires are dead creatures who have come back alive again.. our souls..never got o mov eon.. so they need an anchor in order to survive.. our emotions are that anchor…so. Long as we have emotions we have souls.. but my powers.. they are death based power… it eats awya at my emotions, which eats at my soul.. if i use enoguh.. i could lose both.. this is how they want to us eme.. but i refuse to use powers. Like the size.. they harm me everytime i dont, they have to use these commands if they need me. To use my power’’ Anna explained with hate in her voice.’’but.. they have this serum they work on day and night.. one of the doctors a woman named Amelia told me that they are close.. this serum would by pass my powers and. Strip. My emotions and soul.. but they dont know how a vampire would react to it…i heal fast, my. Body fights off naything fast.. so they dont know fi ti will work’’ Anna explained as she looked at nat and bucky, then something shifted in ehr eys, her head snapped to Kara ‘’you saved my daughter.. ‘’ she whispered with this look on her face, bucky tensed a bit and sighed ‘’y-yes… you asked us. To.. so we did’’ bucky said. ‘’Thank you… I have not seen Lucia in so long… my husband.. he. Took you from me.. but.ipromised you id come back. And get you…’’ Anna said, Bucky felt uncomfortable with this but they. Needed this information.

    Steve hadn't been entirely sure about this plan, that if they had done more to Anna then they knew? Hell they had almost gotten to Kara too because they were distracted by the large mass of Hydra agents. Steve stood aside as Wanda woke Anna and Nat began asking questions. Kara stood back beside Steve where Anna could see her but she was also keeping her distance at the same time. Hearing what Anna said, now she understood why Anna got so mad and tried to stop her and Steve and calling it a cure, using her vampire powers and draining her soul wasn't Hydra, it was being a vampire. Kara sighed and stepped closer to Anna, between Natasha and Bucky. "Anna, you know more about vampires then anyone, and Hydra. We need to know every single detail of the plan they had for you" she said softly. "And is there any scientific way to either restore or stop the deterioration of a vampire's soul?" Kara added.  "We just need answers Anna, to keep you safe and take down hydra, we won't let them hurt you again" Kara voiced softly.

    Anna looked at Kara, but to he rit was Lucia ‘’youve grown so much.. my dna must have sped your growth.. you were only ten when you take form me‘’Anna said softly as she tried. Reaching fro Kara. ‘’You cna hold her hand after you answer her question’’ bucky stated seriosuly pulling Anna’s. Attention away.. ‘’you remind me of him…my husband.. he was cruel too… cold. Like you…’’ she hissed out her eyes flashing tot heir vmapire state breifly, bucky tensed but felt Kara’s hand on his back…  ‘’please answer’’ nat siad and Anna sighed ‘’if we lose our emotions. Or if they’re shut off, our soul dies… it’s why I’ve never done it.. even if I’ve wanted the pain to stop.  My soul is the last thing of human i have left.. when I was turned,  the vampire who turned me made it clear to never shut iff my emotions… its the one thing that keeps me human.. and keeps my soul tied to. Me.. hydra knows this.. when i was first captured, they simply studied me, asked questions, aske dif they could run tests.. they never gave me a reason to fear them or hate them.. not until the experiments,  beatings, testing and other thigns happened… it wasnt until they gave me powers that thigns got worse.. my. Vmapire dna had been compromised..now my soul is half tied to my powers. They figured that if they could speed up the process of removing ym soul, then they could use me mroe.. they would breka me down everyday..and then command me to use my pwoers.. though sometimes they simply just tested me..if it hadnt been for Amelia, i wouldnt be here.. she helped me escape.. after me being there for sometime, she seemed to grow a conscious.. she hated what they were doing to me.. so one night.. she helped me indirectly.. she broguht food for me, a humans to feed on, one had a key in his pocket..i could use it to escape.. so i did.’’ Anna said gently ‘’and hydra’s plans?’’ Bucky asked’ ‘from what I learned and form what Amelia told me.. hydra needs a face they can use everywhere, someone strong,  good looking and can last throguh time.. when they found me, they knew they found what they were looking for.. a vmapire fit their needs, i stay young for eternity.. they can use me to be their ‘leader’ thir main heads becaus ei wuld never die…they can parade me aorund.  And without a soul or emotions, they cn command me to do anything, i would be able to take over. The world, in their words,  in less than a day.. then hydra could stretch aorund the world and take over.. theyre plan is brilliant but it has a flaw’’ Anna siad ‘’what flaw?’’ Bucky asked ‘’me.. while i can be their weapon.. i can easily turn on them. With out emotions or a soul to keep me in check, in line..  i can turn feral.. my bloodlust will magnify to the point where nothing but death can stop me..i would kill them all before they would be int heir first year of ruling the world… ‘’ Anna said ‘’you’re both their key in taking over, but also their biggest threat too..  did they know this?’’ Natasha asked‘’ i dont know.. i would assume so.. if they didnt.. then they are stupid… it is a primal instinct for me ot kill.. to feed, to give into my bloodlust.. the only thing that keeps that form happenign is my humanity, my soul,  my emotions.’’ Anna explained ‘’what else can you tell us? How can we stop them? And do they have.. more..vampires?’’ Nat questioned ‘’if you wnat to stop hydra, then you must find the Von Struckers, if you take them down, you take down hydra, they are the main heads becaus ei of hydra, they have been since red skull was taken down with some others stepping in if needed,  take down the entire Von s trucker fmaily line and you have no one funding hydra’s main line of wealth.. form there everything crumble… they have a list of every head of hydra factions too, you cna use that to full dismantle them…you can also let them not get me…without me, their domination plan fails,  they’ll have to kepe replenishing who is the ehad of hydra which costs a lot… as for other vampires.. they have some.. but not many,  they were never able to gain a lot of. My dna…i know intot they have five other vampires,s six if you include my Lucia..  but you have saved her..so you can no longer count her. ‘’ Anna. Siad gently and gave a soft smile to Kara, who she thoguht was Lucia. ‘’Thank you for telling us all this..’’ nat said ‘’can i be with Lucia alone now?’’ Anna askedand they all looked at each other before looking at Kara,  it was ultimately up to he rif she wnated to speak to Anna the way she was, ucky turned ot her whispered in her ear ‘’in one hour the serum will be fully out of her system. You dont have to stay here with her’’ he whispered softly.

    Steve stood silently as the other three spoke to Anna about her past, or her rather current situation that she believed she was in. Kara stepped to Bucky's side and gently put a hand on the back of his shoulder as she did. "So...in order to stop your soul from degenerating further, we need a way to untether it from your powers if possible. Doctor Banner is someone you can trust, if he can figure it out, we can help you, help undo what hydra did to you" Nat added softly. When Anna mentioned Strucker, Steve's head popped up. "Strucker? Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, he's a shield scientist" Steve remarked. "Apparently not on our side, that's probably how our location was compromised" Natasha added. Kara was surprised when Anna asked for her Lucia but in private and heard what Bucky said. "Its okay, whatever keeps her calm for now" she whispered back. Steve stood from leaning on the wall as he, Nat and Bucky left the room. Kara only undid the one arm restraint as she took Anna's hand. "I'm so sorry this happened to you Anna, I can't imagine the horrors they put you through" she said softly.

    Anna looked at who she thought was Lucia ‘’Lucia.. listen to me.. you cannot trust anyone.. not even that cold metal man who was in here… hydra is everywhere.. im glad you got out. But you have to run,. You have to go tot he safe house in Transylvania.. the one Amelia set up for us… go there and hide.. you remember our plan right? How to kill him if needed.. you do so.. you stay safe…and remember… you must keep the hard drive safe.. under the floor int here hidden safe of the house.. it has everything in there that cna help you ‘’ Anna siad the paranoia and fear very fresh and evident. Before her eyes flashed tot heir vampire state for a second… suddenly Anna’s grasp on Kara’s hand tightened as she let out a hiss of pain as her body started to convulse and the alarms started going off . Bucky nat and steve ran back in and bruce soon joined with tony ‘’what’s going with her!?’’ Bucky asked as he got Kara away from her ‘’somethings making her body crash’’ bruce said as friday staretd to assist them. ‘’Dr Banner… something is happening on a cellular level.. or rather.. a soul level’’ friday announced making them stop ‘’a soul level what the hell does that mean!?’’ Tony. Asked ‘’wait.. Anastasia talked about a doctor there… Amelia… said she was always looking out for Anna’’ nat said and bucky caught on ‘’you dont think… she could have.. done something? Imean. .that was decades ago.. shed be dead by now1’’ bucky said. ‘’What if she isnt?.. what if shes a vampire?” Nat questioned making them pause. ‘’Guess you heros are smarter than i give you credit for’’ a voice siad, they turned seeing a woman there with long black hair, ‘’who are you and how the hell did you get in?’’ Tony asked ‘’compulsion, a vampires best gift. She’ll be okay soon’’ the woman siad and bucky looked at her ‘’youre her.. Amelia’’ bucky siad ‘’wow, good catch sport. ‘’ Amelia siad before walking over and moving tony and bruce and leaning over to see Anna, ‘’she use to be. So string… frankly youve all turned her soft…’’ Amelia commented, her eyes darting to steve ‘’her powers will be separated soon enough form her soul.. ts something ive been working on since we captured her.’’ Amelia siad and sighed ‘’she’ll be okay… when he separation is done, she’ll need to feed… rest for a few days.. and then give her. This’’ Amelia siad and handed Kara a flash drive.. ‘’it has Lucia’s last word son it..  she died at the age of 94… she had a fmaily.. they know about Anna and what she is… theyve been waiting generations ot meet her… and her… spouse…’’ Amelia siad before she started leaving. No one tried ot stop her.. it was so weird but.. eerily okay..

    Kara heard Anna speak about her running off and opened her mouth to speak. "Anna, I'm not-" she began but then suddenly Anna began convulsing and Kara took a step back as the others along with Steve hurried inside. "Kara what happened?" He asked. Kara shook her head "I...I don't know...one minute she was talking and then this happened" she said as a woman suddenly appeared in the doorway. "She is, I can sense the vampire in her" Kara whispered softly. "Wait, you've been working to separate her powers and her soul all this time?" Steve asked. "Why didn't Anna know this?" Natasha added. Kara looked at the flash drive that Amelia handed to her, but one part confused her, Anna had no spouse, besides the husband who stole Lucia from her a hundred years ago. "Lucia died? But Anna said she was a vampire " Kara wondered and they looked at Anna again.

    ‘’Anna thought she was turned, but she never was… her ‘husband’ faked it.. lied to keep her in line…threatening to change Lucia when she was ten, which would have made her crazy.. children cant handle being vampires… it was a tactic he used’’ Amelia siad as she stopped at the door way. ‘’I’ve been watching you all for sometime, but ive never been able to get close to Anna, even when she was awya, she was always busy or with that match maker friend of hers…or jetting off before i got the chance.. so when i heard she had been taken, i followed, i switched the serums before anyone noticed.. and then got out. The serum that hydra was gonna use was a mock up of what i actually made,e i left little of my notes behind so they had to randomly fill int he pieces.. its taken me yeras to perfect it.. but i have.. and it’ll work.. her pwoers will be seperated from her soul, while still being useable, her soul will remain and will heal over time… ‘’ Amelia siad ‘’why come forward now? And why help now?’’ Bucky asked ‘’because, unknowing to her.. she actually saved me… for years i thought what hydra was doing was the right thing… and when Anna came into y life… seeing her.. seeing what she was.. how shes been alive so long.. the horrors she had to go throguh… i knew a change needed to be made.. and that she.. was the only one to bring it. Around.. she can take down hydra… all of it.. with her powers.. now she wont have to worry anymore’’ Amelia siad before looking at steve ‘’I stayed in contact with Lucia up until her death.. she asked if Anna married again, had a spouse, a partner, i lied.. siad yes.. but now.. that l.ie.. is the truth, after all.. youre with her now arent you? You plan on moving to Italy with her… start a family.. Lucia’s family has waited generations to meet their great however many great grandmother and matriarch of their family, and now.. you can do just that. That drive also contains the location of where her fmaily is.. she’ll need. Someone she trusts to go with her… have fun.. ‘’ Amelia siad before speeding out fo there. Bucky stood ther e confused but also.. relieved that things seemed that they would get better, by the time Amelia left, bucky noticed that Anna’s violent convulsing had stopped and she was coming too, bucky ulled Kara to him and sighed ‘’this day has been way to long’’ he muttered softly and sighed a bit.

    Steve nor Kara knew exactly what to say about the situation "Thank you" Steve said quickly before Amelia took off as he finally looked over at the black haired woman. When Amelia mentioned Steve moving to Italy with Anna, he was about to ask how, but if she'd been watching them, she'd been listening too. Kara looked up at her brother in surprise. "You're leaving? And you didn't think to at least tell me? You're sister?" She asked. Steve sighed "We were, Anna and I were going to tell all of you once this whole thing was done with. I'm sorry" Steve said. Kara simply grinned and elbowed him "Relax big brother, you're not the only one with secrets around here" she teased. Steve scoffed a little and was about to retort but then Anna began to wake up and he went to her side. "Anna? Hey, how do you feel?" He asked in a calm voice. "I'll get some of her blood bags" Nat added before quickly leaving the room.

    Anna groaned a bit and covered her yes, which made tony and bucky move so they could turn off the lights a bit and close the curtains for the windows. ‘’Anna? ‘’. Bucky asked cautiously ‘’y-yeah..im here..’’ she sighed out and rubbed ehr face ‘’the fuck happened?’’ She asked as she sta up with Steve’s help ‘’you dont remember?’’ Bucky asked ‘’what did you remember?’’ He added ‘’Uhm.. I remember surrendering so they didnt take Kara… made her and fury hide… then i was some hydra lab.. strapped down… uhm.. i vaugley remember seeing you guys and then.. i got.. nothing after that.. although..i feel like i had the strangest dream about something… like.. dozens of bats everywhere…… i just.. cant remember what that was about’’ Anna said as she blinked a few times ‘’well.. lets just say you had a pretty.. wild.. time’’ bucky stated making Anna snort ‘’im assuming. I did something crazy?’’ She asked as nat came back with a few. Blood bags ‘’well… crazy yes.. but not by choice’’ Bruce said ‘’what happened after i saw you three?’’ She aksed pointing to steve bucky and Kara. Bucky looked at steve and Kara and sighhed ‘’maybe you should breka it to her’’ bucky said looking at steve with a gentle look, he didnt really wanna be the one to tell Anna she was talking about. A dead girl and thinking Kara was that dead girl.

    Steve turned when Anna woke up and gently helped her sit up as Bruce adjusted the back of the bed so she could lean upward against it. He looked over at Bucky and nodded when Buck suggested Steve tell her. "We'll give you two some privacy" Kara said softly, handing the drive that Amelia had given her to Steve then taking Bucky's right hand as they left the room with Natasha and Bruce, then Kara closed the door behind them. Steve let out a breath and grabbed a chair, handing Anna a blood bag before he began explaining what happened from the beginning until Anna woke up, including the part where Anna thought Kara was Lucia and that Amelia had been here, by the time he was done, he gave Anna the drive that Amelia had given Kara when Anna was unconscious.
