Anastasia was in the middle of removing her bloodied clothes, she was just throwing on some sweats when cap walked in, her bare back turned to him, her once clean hair was now stained red, her head turned a bit as Steve talked, so she turned to him, she didnt care much if he saw her naked in any capacity. ‘’I was hunting, these…. Pigs.. let’s call them, tried harming a teenage girl on her way home from her part time job. I stopped them… she was grateful. They are dead. ‘’ she answered simply before putting her tank top on and then wlaking to her bathroom, throwing awya the clothes she had on before hand and then turning on the sinks faucet so she could wash off whatever was left over ‘’the girl is Amy, 17 years old. She works at a gas station, the worker that came into to release her id as so, form what she siad she was taking her normal route home, then these pigs started follwoing ehr, she tried to get awya but they cornered her. If i hadnt been near by feeding. She would have died. I killed them. She lived. Their bodies are taken care of,and no i dont care that i killed humans. Normally i feed on animals but after using my powers the only way to heal myself on the inside is to feed on humans. The pigs made for a good dinner and i got to save someone.end of story Steve. ‘’ she said, her voice flat as she harshly scrubbed the dried blood off.
Bucky sighed and stopped Gertie form leaving making her come back to his bed ‘’look… im saying this stuff not because i dont want to be with you. I do. I have. Since the day we met… but youve only just woken up. I dont want to add the pressure eof a relationship onto you, we’re both very different people now.. we know the.. old..versions of us.. not these new ones, trust me.. youre feelings for me mgiht chnage once youve learned all that ive done…i.. i dont want to burden you is all’’ bucky said and admitted, he knew what he had done for hydra, that he could remember well.. it was horrific what he was made to do, the people he killed… he figured Gertie’s feelings for him might change if she really ever knew all that he had done, even what he did to Tony’s parents in cold blood… he wasnt a good guy anymore.. sure he worked with heros.. but that didn’t erase years, decades of bad things…

Steve stood there in silence, averting his gaze when Anna changed her top even with her back turned, he still looked away out of respect. "So you killed these guys who were after a young woman, when you could have simply called the police and had them arrested" he commented. Once she was done changing, Steve looked at her, he wasnt bothered by the blood at all, he'd seen worse. "But you don't seem like yourself Anna, you're cold, distant, like you've had no emotion. What's going on with that?" He asked her gently. "And what about your control? If you've fed off humans now, can you resist that?" He asked, not lnowing exactly how it worked.
Gertrude paused and stepped back a few paces as Bucky made her sit down on his bed and she looked at him. "You were the winter soldier, you were their assassin. I know this Bucky, Steve told me everything" she began. Gertie gently put a hand to the side of his face. "We may have become different people because of the things we went through, but what you did wasn't by choice, not by you, and i know that" she said softly. Gertie slowly removed her hand from his face "but you are right, it's a new tome, a new era, and we're both different people, or at least you are, i still need to find who I am in this time, to find who I can be. So maybe you're right, maybe us being together isn't ideal, at least until we figure out things for ourselves" she admitted.

‘’I’m a vampire. We’re generally a very cold species Steve’’ Anna stated flatly as she finished in the bathroom before moving past steve and opening her mini fridge to take out a chilled glass and some Lion’s blood from a blood bag. She poured out the blood before grabbing some wine and mixing the two together. ‘’If you really wish to know, look at my hydra file. Whenever i use the… ‘powers’.. they gave me, my emotions turn off, technically you are right, i dont have any emotions, or cares.. or generally anything. Killing those meat sacks means nothing to me right now, saving that girl, means nothing to me. I. Dont. Care.. there is no emotion.. once i use those.. powers..if you wanna call em that, all emotions get shut off, its a fail safe form hydra so i dont go crying about killing people. Use the power, no emotions, why do you think I’ve never used them around the team. Or in general. Besides even if i did use my power more often, id be as cold as the ice you were found in. ‘’ Anna stated with shrug as she relaxed into an arm chair she had in her room ‘’no offence, but why exactly do you care if i have emotions or not?’’ She asked before tkaing a drink and relaxing more.
Bucky sighed as he looked at Gertrude with a gentle look ‘’ o offence to Steve, but he doesnt even know about a lot fo things I’ve done, both not willingly and willingly… i might be on a better path now, but that doesnt make me a ‘good’ person. Not like how i was once upon a time’’ he admitted, yes most of the time he was fully controlled by hydra and dint remember a lot of what h had done, but he remembered a good portion and sometimes when he was ‘good’ they wouldnt contorl him, just ask him to do somehtign and he did it.. it wasn’t ideal.. he did what he needed to survive but at a very high body count cost… ‘’look.. for now.. id like it if we could start. Over as friends.. and.. i dont know.. maybe.. work our way up to being together, whi.e we work on oursleves.. im still in some pretty intense therapy right now, and Wanda and Anna are still trying to help get back my. Memories…im.. not…ready to bring someone in right now.. im sorry’’ bucky admitted and sighe dhevaily knwoing that that wasnt exactly what she wnated to hear or what he wnated ot say

Steve stood there with his arms folded across his chest as he listened to Anna. "Interesting, because you're not generally this shut down Anna" he remarked. He had worked with her long enough to know when something was bothering her, it was just a matter of what. "Look, Anna, you've been around a very long time, alot longer than me obviously. But vampire or human, everyone had tells, and I know when something is bothering you, and you know that you dont need to shut down around us...me...when you need to talk" Steve said simply. "You may be a vampire Anna, but every creature had feelings, they just choose to hide it" he added as he turned and headed for the door.
Gertrude knew he was right, she rushed into this more than she should have. Gertie sighed and nodded "Don't be sorry Bucky, clearly I wasn't thinking, you did that for both of us" she said as she stood, though she paused at the door. "Look, as much as i want to be with you Bucky, like you said, we're both in loke and recovery process right now, and there's no telling where that and this era will take either of us. Feelings aside...OLD feelings, we can hope for the best, but should possibly prepare for the worst. We may find that down the road, we don't like the person each other have become" she admitted before she left his room, gently closing the door behind her.

Anastasia sighed a bit, before answering steve ‘’Part of my soul is gone’’ she said, hearing him stop and turn ‘’when i use my.. ‘powers’ not only do my emotions shut off.. but.. a piece of my soul goes with it…it.. physically dies. Its painful but I’ve learned to live with it, you see somehow HYDRA figured out a way to dot hat… they thought if they could get me to use my powers more and more, then more of my soul would die faster… therefore turning me int the perfect, emotionless, soulless demon weapon they so desperately wanted… Now naturally vampires dont actually have souls anymore, we are undead creatures after all.. yet someone how hydra found a way to bring it back and use it.. i dont get it either.. that part isnt in my files, trust me i have looked.. but non the less, the more power i use the less soul i have in return.. once my soul is completely gone… i turn into.. well.. a demonic vampire whos only thought is to maim and kill every human out there..great right?… its another reason why ive never used the powers that were forced onto me.. im trying to hold onto what little humanity I have left…not that it really matters’’ Anna explained muttering the last part quietly.
Bucky didn’t know what to ay after Gertrude spoke. Honestly what could he say after all that? Once Gertrude left bucky fell back onto his bed. He really didnt know what to do anymore.. he hoped things would be okay though and not..w eird..or.. tense between them but then again, he didnt really know her anymore.. he knew the old her from when they were kids.. growing up together and int he 30’s and 40’s, but… things were so weird now and do different… and he really didnt know what to say or do now.

Steve paused when he heard Anna say a part of her soul was gone, he turned with a somewhat confused and surprised look on his face as she explained what Hydra did. "Well, i know alot of your files were kept hidden, but if Hydra could figure THAT out, maybe Tony and Bruce could help you find a way to stop or even reverse it" he suggested. "Look i know you don't like asking for help, but having a physical soul, (now that I know they are actually real not just believed in), if we can save yours, even stop it from diminishing, we might have a chance of saving your humanity. Hell, maybe in that they could even find a cure if you wanted it. But that's up to you, after all you did for my sister, I'm sure you and Banner could figure this out too" Steve suggested.
Gertrude went to her room, closing the door quietly and let out a shaky breath. That had definitely NOT gone the way she had hoped, at all. But she knew Bucky was right too, they had alot of personal work to do, he at least at a start where she was just beginning, still a deep, forties era version of her wished it had gone better than this for them, maybe back then it would have, but this was the twenty first century now, she had so much to learn, more than she knew.

Anna sighed and set her glass down “Steve, listen to me.. very closely “ she said as she got up “there is no cure for being a vampire.. i.. died. Okay.. I died and was brought back to life, by a creature that’s meant to be mythical… I am a undead being who has lived for over a century now… there is no cure. You can alter the gene yes.. but there’s no cure… I will always be.. undead.. your sister.. she’s a special case, we could alter her genes.. but she wasn’t reborn like I was.. she’s still human… I. Am not.” Anna said sternly but gently, her humanity slowly turning on again “it’s sweet that you want to help me… but let’s face it Steve.. you can’t save a blood thirsty monster. Monsters like me.. don’t get saved… we don’t get.. cured. Or find love. Or have a happy ending! Thats just.. not for me… hasn’t been since the night I was turned… there’s a reason humans are afraid of monsters like me.. and.. that’s for the best. It better to have people be scared of you. .that way… you don’t get your hopes up.. you dont dream of a life that can’t be real for you… monsters like me.. live the life were given because that’s all we’re gonna get… so don’t go chasing ghosts… don’t go chasing a dream that can’t happen… the only thing I can do. Is not use my power anymore… like I have been. That’s all… so don’t worry bout wasting your time and energy on me. Focus on your sister. She matters more” Anna said before opening her door, she didn’t look at Steve anymore as she bite the inside of her cheek “you should go. It’s late. You’re still human, so you need to sleep” Anna stated before clearing her throat. Once Steve walked out she closed the door behind him… standing there for a seocnd before she turned off all the lights and sat back in her chair in total darkness and silence.

Steve sighed, he knew Anna had a point, he'd never known vampires existed until he met her. "Okay, so no curing a vampire then. But hydra was the one who did this to your soul, they can at least try to help you with that right?" He said. But then Anna asked him to leave, he could tell he was hitting a sore spot. Steve headed to the door, but paused beside her. "All I'm suggesting is talk to Banner, he might know some way to at least help you with your soul" Steve began. He was about to leave but paused a second time. "For the record, I don't think you're a monster. Hitler, Red Skull, Hydra, they're monsters. You're nothing like them Anna" Steve said before he left her room, going across the hall to his own.

The next day came by to fast for Anastasia’s liking. Even as a vampire she hated mornings.. and life in general.. the night before had been hellish for her, her emotions were back but the pain of. Part of her soul dying off still stung badly. She knew her mood was not going to be a good one today. She threw on a random outfit, her runners. And her headphones beofre she grabbed a water bottle. And filled it with blood and wine. The wine. Helped take away that sour metal taste blood always had. She grabbed her meditation mat and sunglasses before she headed outside. She was the first one up always and every morning it was the same thing, meditate for three hours uninterrupted and completley alone.
Bucky sighed as he woke up,it was around 5am, he knew that Anna would. Be up.. but for Bucky, he usually slept till 9am. But that day he couldnt sleep anymore.. eh ah barley slept all night because he was tossing and turning. His thoughts were riddled with Gertrude and he felt. Overly tired today. He sighed and got up, deciding a nice long hot shower was in store. After two hours int he shower he got out and got dressed into grey sweats, a black tank top, black runners and black earbuds, he grabbed his metal arm and strapped it on and then the iPod that Clint gave him and a water bottle before heading outside for a run. He needed sometime to clear his head. He could get in a ncie run and maybe a good work out to clam his nerves and his mind. It was something steve told him to do when he was having nightmares again.

Steve didn't normally sleep much, and he was up around dawn, same as Sam and the two would still go for a run, even though Steve could pass Sam three times or more without barely breaking a sweat at all. After an hour, Steve and Sam went back to the compound, the team was slowly coming awake. Though he wondered if he should say anything to Bruce about helping Anna, but at the same time he didn't want to piss her off. He also knew Anna didn't like asking for help, so if Bruce could find a way, they'd tell Anna, if not, they could just drop it and no one would be the wiser. So Steve went to Bruce's lab and spoke to him for a while about it then heading down for the gym as he got the punching bags Fury had made for him since he could punch through them, and he hung one up after wrapping up his hands and started punching it.
Gertrude woke up that morning, wondering briefly where she was before it came back to her about what happened yesterday. Gertie got up and went for a simple shower before getting dressed. Gertie wasn't sure what she could do, how she could....find herself here. Looking in the mirror, Gertie realized her hair was down to her waist, almost longer, she didn't recall it being so lengthy. Rummaging through the drawers, she found a small pair of scissors, and cut her hair until it was just passed her armpits. Gertie smiled at the look she gave herself, did some make up and then got dressed and cleaned up the hair on the floor before she left her bathroom and went downstairs to find the kitchen.
