A Soldier's Heart

Ella Carter played by The Flash


Steve Rogers played by Olaf

0lElla found herself in front of her mirror fixing her hair and grabbing her bag. Ella walked out and made her way ti work holding some books
against her chest. She hummed softly looking around excited New York was somewhere shed always wanted to visit. As soon as she lost her sight and ran into someone. "I am ao sorry" she quickly apologized.

James Buchanan Barnes, thats what the Smithsonian said he was and after reading and learning about Steve and the rest kf the Howling Commando s. He has planned to leave DC as soon as possible.

Steve looked down at the woman who had just ran into him and he smiled gently. "No harm done," he said as he tried to hide the frustration. He had been so close to getting to Bucky again before the Winter Soldier had slipped through his fingers. Watching the woman for a moment, his old fashioned views kicked in and he smiled gently. "That looks like quite the load, want me to help carry any of it?" he said gently as he held his arms out toward her stuff. "I'm not in a rush to go anywhere," he said with a kind smile on his face. "Is this your first time in New York?" he asked curiously. "I'm Steve by the way," he said a soft look on his face. She was beautiful, he thought.

Sam was running through the forest in Virginia. It was about ten miles outside of D.C. Normally she would be at work already but seeing as she hadn't taken a vacation day in three years, she decided that now was as good a time as any. Seeing everything that had happened, she sighed softly as she pushed her body to go faster. Originally she was trained as a combat medic but now, she was working mostly with helping the Avengers and Shield agents with their injuries however, she came to find out that she had been helping Hydra as well and it tore her up. Looking around, she through she spotted a flash of silver before shaking her head.

(Sorry Double post. It won't happen again.)

(Its Okay)
Ella smiled politely, "if you don't mind I'd greatly appreciate it" she handed Steve her bag with all her camera equipment. "Thanks again. Is it thst obvious thst I'm new to the city?" She asked as a blush crept up on her cheeks. The man helping her was attractive and very kind or at least that was her first impression. "My name is Ella" she smiled widely "pleasure meeting you"

Bucky wasn't quite ready to leave New York but he really didn't have a choice between hydra and shield on his feet he knew well that Steve would also be following him. He limped a little but he would have to worry about his wounds later. He just knew that he has to leave.

[Double ]

Steve looked at her with a kind smile and shrugged slightly. "I'm good at telling when people are new," he said as he took the bag which weighed nothing to him. "Where are you headed?" he asked as he looked down at the stuff she was holding. "Why do you have all of this by the way?" he asked with genuine curiosity.

---

Sam got back to her house which was a little ways into the forest. It was quite isolated and that was how she liked it. She was panting as she stretched before heading inside. Grabbing some water, she let the liquid relief run down her throat as she sucked it down before sighing. Looking around, she ran her hand over her face before beginning to head to the bathroom for a shower.

Ella blushed and looked at her bags before answering him. "Headed to do a school photo shoot... I'm a photographer as you can tell by all my camera equipment and stuff." She looked over at Steve and smiled, "what about you? Always this kind to total strangers?"

---

Bucky continued walking or limping he had still not recover from his last attack and had a feeling he wouldn't for awhile. He took a seat by a bench and sighed softly. He had to get this problem fixed.

Steve looked at her and chuckled softly. "Only to the pretty ones," he said before biting his lip. Where did that come form? he thought before smiling again at her. "So what got you into photography?" he asked as he began to walk down the road, figuring they shouldn't continue to just stand there in the middle of the street. "Do you do photography full time?" he asked, for some reason, he wanted to know every thing about this girl. He hadn't felt this way since.....no, he couldn't go there right now.

---

(I am moving my character to living outside of New York)

Sam looked out her window and she bit her lip. Was someone sitting on that bench? No one ever came up here. Sighing, she grabbed her shoes and threw them on before walking down the street. "Hey, are you lost?" she called out before her eyes widened. "Holy shit," she cursed when she saw all the blood. Running over, she watched him closely. "Come on, let's get you fixed up," she said as she wrapped her arm around his waist.

Ella blushed Steve his nephew words, "you think I'm really; that pretty? ' she's been called pretty before but not someone bso attractive. He sure asked quite a handful of questions but she didn't mind answering them. "I've always loved capturing beautiful moments and looking at that later." Ella nodded "yeah my photography finally got recognition so um working for different magazines and newspapers. New York is giving me so mant opportunities I'm so thankful. What about you? What do you do when you're not saving people or the world? " Ella knew exactly whi he was and wasn't going to deny it.

---

(Ok)

Bucky sighed in frustration and looked up when he noticed this beautiful woman walking iver and asking him questions. "Got hurt in battle I'll be okay thanks" he tried standing but it made it worse. Thats when the girl came over and helped him. Bucky sighed and agreed time be helped. "Okay thanks" ge limped with her and wondered why anyone would want to help him.

Steve looked at her and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "So I guess you know who I am," he said as he looked down. For some reason, for a moment, it was nice to think that they were strangers, neither of them knowing anything about the other...guess that was wishful thinking, he thought. "Um...not much. I am looking for some new hobbies," he said honestly.

---

Sam helped the man to her house before letting him inside. "Look, I don't care who you are but for the sake of the fact hat I am helping you, I expect that you don't kill me," she said as she walked to the other room and got her supplies. Bringing it out, she cut off his shirt before pausing for a moment. Holy shit this guy was ripped. he was gorgeous...in a manly, I can kill you with a flick of my wrist kind of way. She bit her lip as she got to work.

Ella looked at Steve and nodded, "how could I not? Are you disappointed? I could always pretend I don't know who you want" she said teasingly. Ella walked along the side walk and smiled "you can akways take photography lessons with me"

---

Bucky was surprised at the girl and confused "why would I want to hurt someone so beautiful? Life let alone kill...?" Bucky grinned as the girl rippedw his shirt off.

Steve looked at her for a moment. "No, it is fine. It's just a weird feeling knowing that everyone knows more about you then you know about them," he said with a shrug as he continued to walk down the street. "I have never really thought about photography," he mused. "Maybe it would be something interesting to do," he agreed before he glanced around. He sigh when he saw people taking pictures and whispering.

---

Sam blushed at the man's compliments and rolled her eyes. "Flattery will get you no where," she teased before she began to patch him up. "So wanna tell me what's got you so broken?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow. What was that mask thing on his face she thought before she happened to glance at his arm. Fuck! She thought as she jumped back. "You....you are the winter soldier?" she asked softly.

Ella looked at him for a moment "I know you are but that doesn't mean I know anything about you.." She told him. "I just know from what I saw at the museum, so why don't you tell me about yourself?" She asked grinning. Ella walked and looked at people, "you know if you have something up say about Steve or myself you might as well spit it out. He's a normal guy and can go out and about if he'd like" she mumbled. Ella smiled at Steve "sorry rude people is something I don't deal with very well."

---

Bucky laughed "I'm telling the truth you are very beautiful.. And as far as my leg goes I got into a fight with someone.." Bucky quickly removed his mask forgetting he had it on and looked at her panicked face. Bucky sighed "don't be afraid I'm not him anymore I promise I won't hurt you.. "

@ The Flash
Steve looked down at her with a chuckle. "It's perfectly fine," he said before looking around. "So...how long have you been in photograph?" he asked. She was gorgeous, he thought as he ran his fingers through his hair and something about her just seemed to draw him in, not that he was complaining.

---

Sam looked at him for a another moment before nodding slowly. She went back to patching him up and soon, she was finished. "You are going to have to stay off the leg for a little while. You can stay here until then," she said as she watched him. "Let's get you settled on the couch," she said as she helped him hobble over. She had to admit that there was some satisfaction having his hard body pressed against hers. Biting her lip, she realized that one she hadn't had good sex in a long time and two, she was acting like a little horn dog. He could probably smell her arousal with some spider sense, she thought.

Ella smiled brightly at Steve he was a very attractive man even more so in person. "Since I was in high school, it started out as a hobby and now it's my job which I'm really happy about. " once they reached her destination she was kind of sad. "This is it. Thanks so much maybe I can repay you somehow. ..?" Ella just needed an excuse to see him again; she grabbed a slip of paper and a pen and wrote down her number. "Here call me sometime i still want to know more about you. "

---

Bucky wobbled over to the sofa and took a seat he knew she wouldn't let him leave until his leg was healed. That could take days and Bucky didn't know how to feel about that. He stared at the beautiful woman and sighed softly. "The name is James Barnes or Bucky for my friends" he chuckled. "What's your name? "

Steve looked at her for a moment. "Well, um...there isn't much to tell. I'm a pretty boring guy behind the suit," he said with a shrug. And that was true, he was having trouble finding out who he was outside of Captain America since that's all he knew in this day and again. Sighing again, he ran his fingers through his hair. Steve smiled however and took the number. "Yeah, I'll call you," he said as he waved and slipped the paper in his pocket. He turned and began walking away with a smile on his face.

---

Sam watched him for a moment. "Well Bucky, I'm Samantha but if you call me that I will hurt you. Most people call me Sam," she said as she walked around and handed him some pain killers. "That should help a bit," she said before she went back to the kitchen. "Help yourself to the movies and books. I am going to take a shower and then I will make us some food," she said. At this point, she had one of the most famous assassins in the world here and if he was going to kill her, he already would have so why not open her house to him.

Ella looked over at Steve and smiled softly, "I don't think you're boring, you're very sweet and kind for helping me and I hope that we get to know each other better.." she hoped to have a really good friendship with him at least. She shouldn't be thinking about relationships after what happened to her, she had to slow down. Steve was a really sweet guy and Ella wanted to get to know him better, she just didn't want to get her hopes up. He was a hero and he would always be busy. "I'm hoping to hear from you" she said softly before leaning up and planting a kiss on his cheek and walking into the building.

---

Bucky chuckled, "I won't, I don't like formal names anyway, all right Sam" he grinned. Bucky was used to pain so this wasn't a problem it was the mind erasing that really had gotten to him. "Thanks" he popped some pills in his mouth and swallowed before looking at her. He figured he'd humor her. He looked up and nodded, "all right,thanks,oh that's really nice of you... thank you" not many people would have been this kind to him.

Steve continued to walk down the street with his hands shoved in his pockets. He found himself twirling the piece of paper as he sighed softly. Heading toward his home in the Avengers headquarters, he ran his fingers through his hair. Maybe it would be nice to talk to her some more but then again, he didn't want to put her in danger of anything happening, especially if someone saw them together. She was a really sweet girl, he thought.

---

Sam got into the shower and began to relax before heading back downstairs. Looking over at the soldier on her couch, she bit her lip gently. "So what do you like to eat?" she asked as she brushed some of her wet hair out of her face. Looking around the kitchen, she began to pull stuff out. "I have sandwich stuff or salad or I could make something hot if that appeals more," she offered before glancing into the other room at him. "Sorry, I don't normally have company," she said with a blush when she realized she was rambling.

Ella walked right in and got to work taking pictures and developing them was her favorite part. She loved bringing joy to people or having her photograph be the cover of a famous magazine or even newspaper. She finished in about two and a half hours and she was on her way out. Deciding to pick up some Chinese on her way home.

---

Bucky waited patiently just thinking to himself, he looked up once Sam came into view. "Oh it doesn't matter whatever you like, it's your home I don't want to impose." Bucky didn't mind what he are he didn't care he just wanted food in his stomach. "No company why not? You're such a cute girl, surely some lucky guy has an eye out for you. I know I would" he told her grinning.
