"Ella?" said Steve Rogers to the dark haired woman in front of him in the long coffe line at PJ's cafe.

The woman turned and looked at him, "Excuse me? Do I know you?" she said seeing the tall sandy haired man behind her. An equally tall dark haired man next to him. She sensed no threat.

"No, but we need to talk with you. " he said as she stepped up to the counter to order she ignored answering him.

"I'll have a medium dark roast." she said.

"Could you make that three?" said the sandy haired man placing money down before the cashier.

Ella looked at the man behind her still assessing him, "Thank you." she said handing him the money she was going to use to pay for her coffee.

"Your welcome." he said shaking his head to refuse the money. "We just need five minutes of your time." he said as they grabbed their coffees and stepped out of line. They followed her to a small table in the corner of the cafe.

"Ok five minutes." she said sitting down. "Do I get any names?" she said watching them each take their seats. The sandy haired man seemd kind but she was not so sure of the dark haired one.

"My name is Steve Rogers." he said extending his hand. She shook it.

"I'm James Barnes. People call me, Bucky. " he said extenidng his hand. She shook it.

"Nice to meet you Steve and James." she said.

Bucky slightly cringed as he preferred Bucky but he wasn't going to correct her.

"We need your help and you need ours." said Steve.

"I'm not following?" she said confused.

"You're a psychologist." said Steve.

"Yes." she said still confused.

"Bucky, James, needs some counseling. " he said, " and you need our protection."

"Ok, we will table the first request and for the second, who says I need protection?" she asked getting a lttle irritated that these two strange men assert she needs them.

"We know about your ability and the men who did this to you are in this city to find you." said Steve leaning into speak quietly. "The same men experimented on Bucky. He has memory loss and we need your help in trying to undo what they have done. We don't know that you can. We are just asking you to try." said Steve.

"I think your five minutes is up." she said sipping her coffee. "I don't need protecting. I would know if someone was after me. You know my ability. "

Steve sat back looking at Bucky. He just shrugged. Steve's eyes shifted to two men who just enetered. He recognized the from the security footage. They were the man who were following Ella. Ella's head abruptly turned towards them. Without a word she stood and walked to the back of the cafe. She hurried out the exit as the two men ran out the front. Steve and Bucky moved towards the back exit. The exit emptied into an alleyway. Ella was running down the alley behind the next building. Steve and Bucky headed after her. Suddenly they saw a man tackle her to the ground. They both ran faster. They saw Ella laying still as he drag her by the leg on the ground disappearing into side alley. Suddenly they saw the man tossed into the back alley. It appeared to be the man who had been dragging her. They looked down the smaller alley by the building and saw Ella standing, "See," she said, "I don't need protection." A blast hit bricks by her head. Steve grabbed her protectively and pulled her to the ground as Bucky jumped in front of them.

"The roof." said Bucky as he jumped onto the fire escape and climbed to the roof.

The two men from the cafe appeared with guns pointing at Steve and Ella. "Don't move." they said. Steve and Ella put their hands in the air.

"What do you want?" asked Ella.

"You." said the man aiming the gun at Steve.

"No!" she said as she dashed in front of him. He grabbed her and pulled her to the ground as the bullet hit the wall. Steve grabbed a trash can lid and threw it at him, as if it was his shield, hitting the man in the face knocking him unconcious. The second man fired at them narrowly missing. As Steve shielded her a second shot rang out. Steve kept Ella covered bracing for more shots. There was silence as Steve looked up to see the man lying n the ground in the alley. He looked up to see Bucky from the roof with a gun pointed at the man. He climbed down.

"I think we need to get out of here." said Bucky as his feet hit int he alley.

They both looked to Ella. "Fine, it's a deal then." she conceded.
