Chapter 1
She looked around sitting up suddenly, when she felt a terrible pain in her head. Feeling the lump, which was larger than most. Always on the head. Always. She heard a deep voice come from the corner of the room. How didn't she hear him?
"So you're an assassin?" He sounded tensed up. How surprising, she actually expected him to restrain her.
"Welcome to the club." She laughed.
"We have more in common than you think, Celaena." He looked at her again with those ice blue eyes. To her, his eyes looked a little like her friend, Dorian. How the heck did he know her name?
"How do you know of this?" She was so confused.
"I read your file. I want you to meet someone. Come with me." He beckoned over to a stack of clean clothes. "And you are not wearing that." He pointed at her suit that was still on her, which was stripped of her weapons. Even the bobby pin in her hair, which she had sharpened so it was knife-like.
She was greeted by him when she walked out of the room. She wondered how he could find a place this safe. They wandered downtown until they were by a World War ll Museum.
They stepped inside where they went to the Captain America exhibit. She should of guessed. But didn't Bucky die? How is he still alive? How did she forget that she was standing next to Steve Rogers best friend? Thousands of questions poured through her head.
They eventually stopped at a sign that was talking about Barnes' history, and how he was a friend of Steve's. She looked at the video of Bucky and looked at the man before her. The video of Bucky and Steve talking to each other, grinning, Bucky was laughing and Steve was smiling. She looked at the man before her. He was haunted, the ice cold gaze piercing through everything and everyone. His thoughts were different, his face emotionless, but his lips turned upwards when she heard someone behind her.
"Celaena, meet Natasha, Nat, this is Celaena." Ok, so this is Natasha. Natasha and Bucky are friends, and Steve is still alive, so guessing that they are friends, they were always weren't they? A grin from Natasha shook Celaena from her thoughts.
"Nice to meet you" Natasha's voice was similar to hers, troubled and trying to be happy even though she couldn't. Celaena gulped. "Where is Steve?"
She heard a knock at the door and looked at Bucky.
"What was that?" She stood up from where she was reading her book, titled 'The Hobbit'. It was actually a pretty good book, considering the books in the cabin weren't of her type, it was the closest she could get to.
"I'll get it." Now they had built some trust with each other, they weren't constantly glaring at each other and asking questions, but she still had tons of them.
Barnes pulled open the door to see who it was, and she looked from where he was stareing to see it was Steve, a girl dressed in red, and another guy she didn't know. All Bucky said was,
"Come on in."
