My hair is in a long braid and the mans infront of me, his hair is shaggy and is in desperate need of a cut.

He stares at me blankly and I started right back with my arms crossed wanting to kick this guy's ass and be done. But it's never that easy.

"Soldiers," a guard who is watching us with about 45 others says. "All bets have been placed on Maximoff." Great, just great, now, they're betting on us. Like we're poker chips in their game of Black Jack.

"Begin."

The guy infront of me wastes no time charging right for me. I take a few steps back and prepare myself for the fight. It isn't long before me and this guy are throwing punches at each other. He tries to punch me, but I just block it with my left forearm. Then, I take my right leg and swing it around his left, knocking us both down to the ground. He tries to get up right away, but I just pull him right back down, as he hits his face, he makes brief eye contact with me. While he's still on the ground, I get on top of him and start to punch him. Drawing blood out of his nose and mouth.

Then, he grabs one of my punches and flips us over, so he's on top of me. He then starts to punch me. Holding me down with his right arm, he hitting me with his left metal one. It hurt like hell, but just before he can punch me again, I make and x-shape with my arms and hold it up. I'm breathing heavily as he pushes down on my arm.

I realize that my arms are coming closer to my face because of the pressure he's putting on them. I break the x-shape and hit him right across his face. That sends him stumbling back a few paces and I get up, wiping the blood from my nose, but it being to no avail as the blood just keeps coming. We're both facing each other now as we both run at each other. Before he can get to me I kick my legs up and get on top of him, my legs wrapping around his neck. I look for his pressure point in his back and start to slam my elbows into his back.

I feel his hands roaming my back and trying to get me off of him. He slams us down onto the hard concrete floor and he starts to choke me. I start to lose my breath as he continues to choke me. I use my free arm to elbow him in the head as I get a breath of oxygen. He falls to the floor and we both get back up. Staring at each other.

"Suka" ("Bitch" in English) I mutter as we look at each other faces and how much blood we have all over ourselves.

"Vy Brat" ("You Brat" in English) he says in Russian. I smirk and we start to run toward the other again.

"Dostatochno" ("That's enough" in English) one of the guards say and we both stop immediately.
"Maksymov, vy vyigrali." He says. ("Maximoff, you have won" in English)

"Zimny soldat, ostavaysya v storone" ("Winter Soldier, stay out" in English)

The guard motions me toward him and I stand by him as another soldier comes out into the open.

We'll call the guy I fought asshat. So the other guy and asshat look at each other and the guy runs at asshat. They both start to throw punches at each other but I don't pay much attention to them and I just fiddle with the strings of hair that have came out of my braid.

Apparently, I had missed a lot though because the next thing I know, I have a gun pointed to the back of my head and a guard telling me to get him out of there. I see asshat had gotten out the same way so I thought what the hell and just walked out. Hitting and fighting off anyone else in my way.

"What are you doing?" Rumlow screamed at the guard as he took the gun out of his hands and shot him in the knee with it.

"I'm sorry" the man begged. "I just needed to get out of there." He said quietly.

"I ever see you do that again, I will have her kill you." He says as he motions the gun at me.

Rumlow leads me back to my cell without a hold on my arm. He just talks about how I was doing great in my training and to not get cocky, because if I did, he would have someone kick my ass. Like that would ever happen.

As I sit in my cell, I get used to the cold that has chose to wrap me in blanket of a chilled night. But I'm used to it.

I start to fiddle with my powers trying to learn how to control them. I pick up a few pieces of dirt off of the floor and throw them towards the wall. A blue mist is still there when they fall to the ground. I sit and watch the mist just stay there as my hands glow with it too. I stare at it for forever and the I feel something warm coming out of my nose again. I wipe it off and rub my hand on my dirty dress. I sit in the coner of my cell and wait for the time to pass.

I feel my eyes get heavy as I drift off to sleep, and I pray to God that I don't have a nightmare. That's the only thing I ever have, every night. It keeps me from sleeping each day I live here.

(51 minutes later)

I wake up breathing heavily as I recall the events of my dream. It was a girl, the same girl in the spear and stone room. She was the girl in the stone. The only thing different was that she had a blue power coming toward her. She looked at me and with a flick of her hand, I wake up. Talk about weird. I couldn't make out her face very well, but from what I could see, she had a very similar face to mine.

But, I don't think much about it and I just wait for morning to come.
