"How hard did I punch you? That bruise has been there for a week now and you are literally the healthiest person in the world so you have a fast healing process" Galilea eyed and gingerly touched the yellow and purple bruise on Steve's jaw.

"Really, really hard" Steve answered as he kept his eyes on the brunette girl inspecting the healing bruise.

"Are you gonna cry because a girl hit you? What a wuss. What would Bucky say?" Galilea smirked.

"He'd call me a punk for starters" Steve began. Galilea chuckled and stared into his beautiful baby blue eyes.

She wondered if she should tell Steve about Bucky. That's a question she's been debating with herself in her head. Should I tell Steve about Bucky? And if I do how do I approach it? Hey Steve guys who's alive... Bucky!!... Guess who survived that train fall... You are no longer the only hot 95 year old on this planet. Your friend Bucky came and knocked you out of that position. Oy vey, this is a mess.

But Galilea doesn't want Steve to go all rouge and save Bucky no matter the consequences. But Bucky is his best friend, Galilea thought, I have to tell him.

"Stevie?"

"Yeah?"

Galilea thought about how she was going to break the news but couldn't find an easy way to say it. So she was just going to say it, no matter how crazy it sounds. But before Galilea could say anything, the A.I. interrupted.

"Miss Stark, Miss Potts kindly requests your presence down in the kitchen"

"Does she really? Kindly?" Galilea questioned. Something there was not right.

"Miss Potts does seem to be in a... mood" Jarvis replied.

"Oh god, she's not going on another of her health binges again, is she?" Galilea said in horror as she began to remember Pepper throwing away the junk food and replacing it with organic food. Or as Tony and Gali call it, organic junk.

"It doesn't appear to be" Jarvis answered.

Galilea sighed and passed a hand through her hair "maybe she found those two boxes of hot pockets in the freezer" Steve suggested.

"Probably" Gali shrugged "alright Jarvis, tell her I'm on my way down" she took in a breath and leaned in to kiss Steve. It was a quick kiss and it took him by surprise but when he tried to lean in for another one, Galilea had stood up and walked out of her room.

"Come on!" Steve yelled and Galilea simply giggled.

Tony was the first to see his little sister enter the room. He actually did a double take to make sure he isn't seeing things.

"That was a long nap" Tony commented.

"Is that what they're calling it now?" Sam pipped in "nap?"

Both Steve and Galilea blushed "ass" she muttered and Sam laughed loudly.

Peter walked out of the kitchen with a hot pocket in hand "why do you have so many hot pockets?" He asked.

"Kid, you just got here" Clint told the teenage boy.

"I'm hungry" he shrugged.

"And you come to eat our food?"

"I thought you were gonna spend the day with May?" Galilea told the kid.

"I was... until I found out that she has a date" Peter informed.

Galilea smiled widely "she has a date? Go aunt May!"

"No. No" the kid shook his head.

"Peter, it's been what, a year and a half since Ben died. May has to get out there. She's young" Galilea tried to reason.

Peter spluttered and shook his head as he tried to figure out what to say, but at the end he settled with "no" Gali smiled and ruffled Peter's sandy brown hair. He made a face and patted his hair down.

Pepper came out of the kitchen holding a box of juice in hand "Galilea, what is this?" She held up the juice for the girl to see.

"A juice box" Galilea answered.

"This is not juice"

"It says juice right there" she pointed at the box.

"It says juice with a z" Pepper pointed out.

Clint chuckled "Juize?"

"So it's not the healthiest juice-"

"It's not even juice! It has no real fruit. It's just water with coloring!" Pepper exclaimed.

"It may be the kind of juice that causes you kidney failure, but it's good juice, huh Chris?"

"I like it" Thor nodded in agreement with the Stark girl.

Pepper rolled her eyes "Galilea, you have to eat healthy. Remember what Olivia told you"

"Healthy, shmealthy! When Tony came back home he didn't even let us take him to the hospital. We went straight to Burger King!" Tony smiled at the memory of eating the American hamburger he so wanted when he came back home. Clint and Peter raised their eyebrows in surprise.

"I would've done the same if I hadn't been passed out. And you know why I was passed out? Because Dick beat me up, all because he found me with Bucky. I don't even know what the hell he was doing there. I switched the schedules. I had them fixed but he showed up and turned Bucky into assassin mode! And now I am out and safe but James is still stuck with Hydra and you guys aren't any closer on finding them! So yeah, I'm sorry if all I want to do is drink harmful colorful water!" Galilea snapped.

She said everything so fast the team was surprised that they managed to hear every single word she said. But they were confused as to who this Bucky person is. Steve was even more confused than the others. Galilea said Bucky but then she said James. That's the name of his best friend. He wanted to think that Galilea meant his friend Bucky but he's dead. He saw his friend fall off the train. He died. He's dead. Isn't he? He thought. They never found the body.

The room was quiet and they gave Galilea wary glances "I believe this is the outburst Olivia warned us about" Bruce quietly said.

"James? Your friend James you told me about?" Peter asked Galilea. Everyone's eyes went from Galilea to Peter to Galilea again.

Gali nodded slowly "yeah"

"Why did you call him Bucky then?"

Galilea sighed. She has to come clean. She's kept it to herself long enough. She should've told them weeks ago but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Well I guess this is how Steve finds out. She sighed again and walked over to the table the Avengers gather around when talking about Hydra. She got the tablet she took from Hydra, the one Kamilla can't get working.

"Uh, that thing doesn't work" Kami spoke up.

Gali tapped the screen three times and it came to life. Everyone was astonished "Sometimes you have to do the simple things to get it going... Along with my fingerprint" she informed as she searched for something on the tablet.

She found what she was looking for and looked up at the team who is staring at her intently "his name is James Buchanan Barnes. Also known as Bucky" she held up the tablet and showed a picture of Bucky in his army uniform.

Tony and Kami immediately recognized him "Sergeant Barnes?" She tilted her head slightly to the right.

"Uh, Gali, are you sure you weren't dreaming him up? The man died over seventy years ago" Tony cautiously told his sister.

"I didn't dream him up. Bucky is alive. Why do you think there were cameras down when you rescued me? Why do you think I called for James when I was in Shield? Why do you think I don't talk about my friend James? Because how the hell do you explain that a man who died in World War Two is alive, brainwashed and working for Hydra?!" Galilea snapped once again.

"I am so lost here" Sam shook his head. Tony quietly explained to Sam who Bucky is and everything in between.

Galilea let out a heavy sigh and sat down. Apparently everyone else wants to know more about Sergeant Barnes and so got closer to Tony and Sam to hear. Steve stared at his girlfriend with sad eyes.

"He's alive?" He quietly asked. Gali nodded "yes" she breathed out.

"And working for Hydra?"

"He doesn't know. Well now he does but he can't help it. Once they put him in assassin mode- he's gone" she explained.

"Assassin mode?" Natasha inquired.

Gali sighed and her eyes scanned the faces of everyone on the team. They want to know more. They want to understand what Galilea is talking about. The Stark girl took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She closed her eyes and concentrated. If she can't find the words to explain, then maybe showing them will help.

She searched and went back to the moment she found out that Bucky is alive. The Avengers looked around as their surroundings changed. They were taken back to the cell where they saw Galilea being harshly taken away by Castiel. But instead of a screaming and terrified Galilea, they saw an annoyingly chirpy Galilea.

"Are we ready?" Richard asked as he entered the room.

"What, to die? Sure. No handcuffs this time, huh?" Galilea smirked.

"Don't make me regret it" Richard muttered.

"Kidnapping me was your biggest regret. I can see it in your eyes" Gali smiled. She then screamed and got out of the way as Richard had let the Winter Soldier loose on her.

The Avengers saw Gali fight the Winter Soldier and were impressed. She was able to overpower him a couple of times but then he would hit back. Natasha made a face when she recognized the move Galilea has used on her.

She attached herself on the Winter Soldier like a monkey on a person. Suddenly she was thrown off and the clank of the black mask hitting the bars of the cell got everyone's attention.

They all snapped their heads to the black mask lying on the ground and then looked up to see memory Galilea with a confused look on her face. They turned and saw the Winter Soldier without the mask and that's when Steve recognized him.

"Bucky?" Memory Galilea and real life Steve asked.

"Who the hell is Bucky?" James demanded.

"Y- y- you're Bucky" they saw their exchange and soon understood why Galilea was taken to the memory wiping machine.

Galilea then changed the memory and the room changed. They were shown the room where Bucky was kept in. Galilea standing outside the glass cell and talking to Bucky. Then it changed again but this time Gali was inside the cell with him. They were talking and sitting on the floor.

Galilea has some kind of string wrapped around her fingers, her hands a couple inches apart but the string is interwoven between the fingers of each hand "now you put your hand inside" Gali told Bucky.

"Inside?" He eyed the string.

"Put your hand through the hole in the middle"

"Why?" He asked.

"Just put it in James!" Gali hissed.

"I prefer Bucky" he informed as he stuck his hand through the middle hole.

"I know" Galilea smirked as she let go of the string, Bucky's hand caught in the loop "but I like to mess with you" she began to pull the sting with her fingers to get it to the same position it was when they began "now put your hand in through the middle hole again" he did so and Galilea let go of the string. His hand is now free "eh, eh? Magic!" She smiled brightly "okay, okay, now you do it"

"I can't believe we're passing our time by playing with a string" Bucky muttered as he took the string from Galilea.

"But you're having fun, aren't you?"

Bucky smiled small "a little. How do I do it?" He asked.

Galilea explained him how to hold the string around his fingers and passing the fingers through loops to get the string to going from one finger to the other on each hand "now I put my hand in and you let go of the string- but keep those two fingers in... Okay, now do it again... See? It's easy" she smiled as Bucky was successful on doing the trick.

"I used to this with Tony when I was a kid. He would come back home from boarding school and my parents would leave the country for a getaway"

"It would only be you two at home?" Bucky put his hand through the hole in the string.

"We had Jarvis, our butler. We also had a nanny for a while. She didn't work out"

"You drove her away?" Bucky asked with a smile.

"Kinda. Although I think it were Tony's experiments that did it. Either way we didn't want a nanny. We had Jarvis. He used to make cookies" Bucky put his hand through the hole again and was free "oh hey, I got chocolate. Castiel snuck them in this morning. Want one?... Oh no, they're a little melted" Galilea frowned "maybe you can freeze them back up. You are after all the Winter Soldier" she grinned.

Bucky glared at the girl and she laughed "no seriously, I got a fun size Milky Way and a fun size Snickers. Stupid Castiel couldn't afford to get the regular sized chocolates. Oh well, which one do you want?" Galilea asked the man sitting across from her. She then cracked a smile "I feel like we're kids in a school playground exchanging food that will eventually lead us to be best friends forever"

"That... is very specific and I will take the Snickers" Bucky told the girl.

They ate the chocolate and the smartwatch on Gali's wrist beeped. She tapped the screen and turned to Bucky "Time to go. I'll try and see if I can switch the schedules soon, alright?" She stood up and placed her hands on Bucky's head.

She placed a shield inside him to try to protect his mind from the memory wiping machine "you need a haircut man. When we get out of here the first place I'm taking you is to my hairdresser. Snip, snip, snippity snip" she moved her fingers around like scissors "then we'll watch Tom Hanks movies. We'll start with Forest Gump. Pretty much contains everything you've missed"

The memory began to fade away and the Avengers were left in the room. They stayed quiet as they process what they just saw. Bucky is indeed alive and stuck with Hydra. It's a complicated and difficult thing to process but the evidence is there.

"Why- why did you place your hands on his head?" Pepper was the first one to speak after three minutes of no one saying a word.

"I placed a little shield to protect his mind from the memory wiping. I did it once in a while to reinforce it. I put it up so he wouldn't forget" Galilea explained.

"How- what-" Steve struggled to find the right words to say.

"I didn't say anything, Steve, because I didn't want you to go on a rampage-"

"You don't want him to go rogue? I think rogue Cap is what we need" Tony interrupted his little sister.

"I don't want you two to go on a rampage. That's why I didn't say anything- oh my god, I did it again" Galilea slapped a hand over her forehead.

"Me? What do you mean? I don't know the guy" Tony said.

"It's not that- it's... Just forget it" Galilea waved her brother off.

"No, no, Gali what is it? Listen, you are done holding back on secrets. You have to tell us everything. What else is it?" Tony stared into his sisters eyes.

Gali stared at her brother and immediately felt the pain Tony would feel after hearing what Galilea has to say. Again, she should've said it sooner but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Her eyes stung as tears filled her eyes. Her bottom lip began to tremble and she fought hard to keep herself from crying.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I-I... I just... I don't want to tell you" she cried "I-I don't want you to- to-"

"You don't want me to what?" Tony quietly asked "Gali please"

A tear rolled Galilea's cheek and she looked down at the tablet in her hands. She searched for the video and once she found it, she shoved it in Tony's face. He held it in his hands and stared intently at the screen.

The rest of the team wanted to know what it was but something told them to stay back. That looks like a Stark thing. Tony's facial expressions changed throughout the video and by the end his jaw was set and locked, his brown eyes cold, full of rage, sadness and shining with tears.

"Our parents didn't die in a car crash" Galilea quietly began, tears brimming her eyes making them shine "Hydra killed them. Richard Roman killed our parents. He staged it to look like a car accident" she explained.

"Oh my god" Kamilla gasped and brought a hand to her mouth.

"When-when did you find out?" Tony chocked out.

Galilea bit her bottom lip "a couple hours before you guys got there. After Richard showed me the video, I sent Steve the coordinates and then went to see Bucky. I told him that we were gonna leave that place but Richard came in and told Castiel to take me back to my cell. And we'll I guess you guys know what happened after" Galilea told the group.

"I swear that's all I know. No more secrets. No more lies" she blinked and the tears fell.

Anthony wrapped his arms around his sister and gave her a tight hug. She hugged him back and apologized over and over as she cried.
