    Anna smiled gently ‘’I created this place. Thanks to my time with HYDRA,i learned a few things here and there.. a doctor,who was kind to me, told me of a place, hidden from centuries in a very remote and hard to reach place in the amazon jungle. Very few know of it, and when i fled from HYDRA, i went there seeking sanctuary.. i found this water there.. when i first stepped into it.. it was like… someone was giving me he hug i never knew i needed.. it washed away my sins.. my fears, my sadness and mostly my anger, my rage and hatred… it allowed my once crazed mind to become peaceful .to see life in a new light… I’ve always carried some of this water with me… ive never been able to find solid information on it.. but form what i do know..this water has properties in it that came from an ancient metro that sank tot he bottom of its lagoon. Its minerals and other properties seeped into-the waters and it created a sort of.. healing factor that seeps into your body.. it draws out anything that poisons you, feelings, memories.. and so forth.. how it fully works and where it all goes.. it still a mystery to me. But. I know it does help.. it is why i brought you he.. this peace.. is something that will help balance you… i use to be full of rage…it was all i ever felt.. and often.. I still feeling…there are times where my mind, it goes into hyperdrive.. an all I feel is rage, which then turns to bloodlust…which leads me to do terrible higns to people…  you may think as an assassin you are more dnagerous than anyone.. but as a vmapire, with a bloodlust that is never quenched.. with powers like mine..i.. am the most dangerous living creature round.. and this water… helps me to over come that side of me.. and connect to it ina way that..feels as if i am reborn..’’ Anna explained as she looked aorund ‘’an oasis like. This i not to be taken lightly…it is to help heal you.. to show you there is more than just one way of handling rage..and.. you can have access to it whenever you would like. The code to the room is 1845. The year I was born. Use this oasis to help heal you Kara… and hopefully one day.. when you feel better, maybe then you can start to live life instead of hiding from it like i once did.. i dont like many people... but.. in you i see someone who is in need of peace.. and as someone who works hard to bring peace.. i wish to bring it to you.. ‘’ she said before walking tot he edge and opening a small hidden compartment and taking out a necklace that held a vial on it. She dipped it into the water and filled it beofre bringing it to Kara and hooking it around her neck. ‘’Keep this one you. When you fell rage, take the vial off, dab a bit of the water onto your face and neck and allow yourself to. Sit and relax, allow the water. To help ease you. Having this with you, will give you. Sense of security and peace knowing you have something else to help you. At night you’ll see it will give a faint glow, it is a soothing glow. It helps you to relax and sleep. It gives off a soft humming vibration at night, humans cannot hear it, but i can. It will help tune your body so you can sleep easier. When you need it filled, you may fill it.’’ Anna said gently before they got out fot he water and elft the room. They were soaking wet, but it didnt matter much as they walked back to the lviing area so they could go past it and head to the bedroom quarters.  Meanwhile, bucky and steve were still chatting a bit, they had both silently decided to end the topic fo the two women,seeing as it was going nowhere eon both ends. They had somehow ende dup ina. Conversation with Clint and bruce, tough neither bothered to adress hwo that happened,  bucky was just about to ask a question when Nat caught his attention ‘’why are you two all wet!? What happened!?” Nat asked as she saw her sister and Anna walk in, talking amongst themselves ‘’nothing happened. I simply gave Kara a new way to heal her rage. It is all well.’’ Anna said gently. ‘’A new… no way.. you let her in? You never let anyone in!’’ Tony stated catching on ‘’that is true..and you will not be allowed in.. kniwing you.. you'd poison my oasis with your booze.’’ She satted and chuckled a bit as Tony coffee at her like a child ‘’oasis? ‘’ bucky asked confused by what that meant ‘’do i wanna know what that is?” He asked again ‘’no.. not yet anywyas..i. Am still debating if it will help you or not. ‘’ Anna stated which just made bucky more confused.

    Kara stood and quietly listened to what Anastasia told her about the water. She let out a sigh though "Sometimes I think I am, only in a different way, without the fangs and wanting to drink blood. When my rage takes over deomct simplest thing, all I see is red, all I want to do is tear someone apart, to watch the blood run from their severed limbs and the life drain from their bodies" she remarked. "Natasha thinks it's how Dreykov's brainwashing effected me before we came to the US, but there's no other Widows to exactly compare ourselves with, they all vanished after we killed him' Kara explained. When Anastasia told her she could come here whenever she liked, Kara was surprised. "But why me? There are others even here who want peace and cannot find it, so why pick me?" She asked as Ana put vial on a chain around her neck. Kara stepped out of the waters when Ana did. "Thank you Anastasia" she said sincerely. Kara was almost somewhat excited for night, she hadn't slept for more than a couple hours a night in many years, even before SHIELD and the red room, probably when she was a child. Steve felt himself jump a little hearing Nat who wasn't usually loud and he got to his feet when he saw Ana and Kara soaked to the bone and followed the others over. Steve looked at Bucky and rolled his eyes. "Think water surrounded by plants, mostly exotic ones. But they're usually found in deserts or hallucinations from dehydration" he explained to his best friend then looked at Ana and rose a brow. "That's what's off limits? And you let Romaro in?" Steve asked in a lightly joking tone at the last part.

    Anastasia rolled ehr eyes a bit ‘’i chose Kara because a lot of what she is going through, matches what a vampire goes through when they are in transition. Ive given her full access to it so it can help her and heal her. If you have issues with that Steven, then you and i can talk privately. So you can either accept ive chosen o help her. Or you and i are going to have issues. Understood Steven?” Anna tated, making everyone look between them ‘’mom and dad are arguing’’ Clint muttered and Anna shot him a look \to which he tried to hide behind his coffee mug. Bucky couldnt help but breka the silence with a snicker ‘’Im sorry.. but she just used yure full first name.. that hasnt happened since you met Peggy… ‘’ bucky siad and laughed a bit. ‘’ thank you Ana.. for helping her… honestly.. i.. I don’t know how to thank you’’ nat said seriously ‘’dont thank me.. just let me know when shes having a hard day and I’ll be here to help. Im vampire after all. Im faster han all of you. I can be back here in seconds to help. ‘’ Anna siad with a gentle smile ‘’honestly.. im kinda shocked.. you don’t usually chat this much with any of us’’ bucky said and Anna shrugged ‘’I have mMy reasons for that.. but i met someone in Japan, Han Yamamoto… a brilliant psychologist. He siad something tome that has chnage my narrative a bit.. figured.. if i am going to be seeing all of you until you pass. And I live on.. I might as well.. be.. more… nicer to all of you.. and see if i can truly help at least one of you and make some kind of.. impact here’’ Anna said ‘’now if you’ll excuse me, wet clothes are not something i like being in. ‘’ Anna said simply before giving a nod to Kara and wlaking off. Bucky was kinda impressed honestly.. and he was also kinda curious about this oasis too.

    Steve rose his brows at Ana and lifted his hands a bit. "Relax Anastasia, it was just a joke" he stated. "Here after all the years you've lived, you'd think you'd develop a sense of humor" he muttered. Kara snorted back a laugh at what Clint said as even Natasha and Wanda tried not to. "vse v poryadke, Ana, Stiv poshutil (Its alright Ana, Steve was kidding)" Kara said gently. When Bucky brought up Peggy, Steve shot him a look "Not even Peggy called me Steven" he remarked with a chuckle. Before Ana left, Steve looked at her. "Thank you Ana, for helping her" he said sincerely. Usually Ana only helped when it was a mission for the team, but this was personal. Kara looked to Ana and nodded in return before Natasha caught her attention and stood in front of her. "You're really okay? I mean even temporarily?" Nat asked. For the first time since her childhood, Kara smiled, a real smile. It wasn't big but it was visible. "da, Natasha, ya obeshchayu, chto mne namnogo luchshe. dazhe yesli eto vremenno (yes Natasha, i promise I'm much better. even if it's temporary)" Kara said softly. "Now I think Ana has the right idea, I'm going to clean up and change" Kara said before heading upstairs. Steve noticed the look on Natasha's face "What is it?" He asked her. Nat looked at him with watery eyes which didn't happen often. "I haven't seen her smile since nineteen ninety five" Natasha said with a shaky voice.

    ‘’ A long time ago, Anna mentioned how she had once found this place in the amazon, some doctor that took pity on her told her about it, when we were building her hidden room, she said ti was to be a place of healing.. said it would soothe the bloodlust in her and make her kill less… when it was all said and done, she let me use it.. i was… going through some things.. what she siad about the helaing.. is true… it helps… it’ll help Kara, even if its just a temporary Ora ry fix, its one she can o as often as she needs.. ‘’ tony said and shrugged a bit ‘’ive noticed.. in some wya..Anna has helped us out… like individually.. when i got married, i hadnt told anyone but Nat, she somehow found out, and tod me that the best way i could make my wife happy, was ot listen to her, and to always come home alive.. that my wife held fears of her own andi needed to listen to them…never had a bad married day ever..’’ Clint admitted ‘’sh takes me to my therapy’’ bucky admitted and the others looked at him, they knew he went, but not that someone took him ‘’she sits int he waiting room, and knits… she just sits.. waits… and doesnt say naything when we leave…when shes nto arund to make me go, she sends daily reminders… sends small quotes about heling from within and not letting the enemy win’’ bucky admitted ‘’she says she stays away from reasons hse wont say.. but i think she secretly likes us all..even if he wont admit it.. shes honestly like a mom whos there in the background, making thigns rn, without anyone really saying anything’’ tony said gently as they sat or stood around the kitchen island…’’you know she can probably hear all this right?’’ Am asked and chuckled ‘’oh mroe than likely… shes vampir.e. Tey hear everything’’ tony stated with a look that made the others chuckle. Meanwhile Ana was in her room, she wasnt actually paying attention to anything, she had chnaged quickly into sweatpants, a tanktop, a lose cardigan and fuzzy socks and allowed ehr hair to air dry all while she meditated, placing headphones on her ears and listening to white noise of thunder and rain.

    Steve stood with the others as he listened to their stories about how Ana helped them. "After Pietro died, she helped me cope with my grief, she had no magical powers but she guided me in controlling my own when I joined the Avengers. I couldn't be an asset to the team without being able to maintain control and not hurt others by accident" Wanda explained. Steve chuckled when they thought that Ana might be able to hear them, but they were a team, friends even, and to some, family. After Kara had a quick shower and got changed, her stomach was growling so she went back downstairs in grey jogger sweat pants, a long sleeved dark purple crop top and headed downstairs, her blonde hair still a bit damp as she entered the kitchen, slightly humming to herself as she went to the fridge. Though Kara paused when she felt eyes on her and looked at the group "What? I'm hungry okay!" She remarked with a shrug as she opened the door. Natasha smiled and shook her head "She only ever ate maybe once a day and barely anything" Nat whispered.

    ‘’Its good see you eating.. you dont normally going for another helping during the day’’clintsiad gently with a proud smile. Thoguht that didn last long when Friday interupted ‘’sorry to interupted. But someone has entered the property and they are very angry with Anastasia, they keep trying to find hr.. andi belive they are a vampire like her’’ friday mentioned ‘’I have told Anna, shes on her way outaside now’’ friday ‘’oh that cant be good’’ am stated ‘’another vampire? I thoguht Anna was the only one now?’’ Bucky said, they didnt know much about how she turned or who turned her.. or even if mroe of people like her were ven around. .so this was shocking.. then team ran out ready to help incase things got ugly.. 

    Anna was outside, she wore a long black skirt now, the sweats getting to uncomfortable for her. She wasnt a fan of comfort clothing the honest. The team stopped just next to her ‘’who the hell is that and how did they get on my property?!’’ Tony asked ‘’his name is Vladimir, Vlad for short. He is the one who turned me. Now it sees he is throwing a tantrum because i dont need him. I use to be sired to him… he could contorl in some ways.. but I was able to break that many years ago. .seems like hes finally come out of is slumber.. what a shame..’’ Anna said calmly as Vlad stood infornt of them now ‘’you little witch.. your broke our bond! Now.. im not to happy with that. Or the fact that you shoved me in a crate and shoved my body into the fucking ocean for decades on end!’’ Vlad stated and Anna shrugged ‘’i was bored of you.. so i got rid of you…its really quite that simple.. i took what i needed form you.. and left… vampires are selfish creatures after all. .you taught me tat Vlad’’ Anna said a hint of teasing in her voice.. bucky looked at the guy, very uncomfortable with tis situation ‘’shes nto really taunting him right now right?’’ Bucky asked steve as they watched. ‘’You fucking whore… im gonna enjoy killing you’’ Vlad said and she’d over to her but befor ehe could touch her, Anna Simple moved her hand and he was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of bats ‘’I know youve missed so much Vlad… but here is a recap… i have chnage form the starving girl you change… i have been throguh hell and survived… and most of all.. i am at peace with the monster i am… i am torn ger than you my dear… and i will not allow you to turn my peaceful life into something drama filled and annoying! Nor will i allow you to interupted my family’s peaceful day. So listen well… i am going to spare your life.. as a kindness.. but.. not in a way youd think’’ she siad before the sky turned dark. And thunder roared aorund them. The bats moved away and Anna sent down a lightning strike.. so hot that it turned Vlad into a sort of half glass half stone statue… they could still see his undead beating heart and the blood flowing aorund ‘’that is.. disturbing.. how did you dot hat?’’ Bucky said as they looked at it ‘’i can man it pulle electricty, lightning, i a very close match to my power… once I manipulate thet electrical currents int he air, i can send it where i like… and turn things into glass.. but because vmapires sort of.. turn to dust in certain conditions, Vlad.. has turned to a stone slash glass compound.. he is still alive.. just cant do much’’ she stated calmly.. ‘’Tony.. Natasha can you call fury and have him drop Vlad somewher ein the ocean again.. i think he needs to go for a nice swim’’ Anna siad, her eyes darkened and her voice strained ‘if you’ll excuse me.. i need to calm myself befor ei go and kill something.. or multiple things’’ she stated and walked off.. bucky was.. a bit terrified actually… he had seen people with strong pwoers sure but this was new.. even to him ‘’remind me to never make her mad’’ sam stated a bit shocked.

    Kara looked over at Clint and rose a brow "Yeah well I had what, two pieces of toast this morning? Even for someone as tiny as I am that's not enough, and even less nutritional" she remarked and Steve choked back a laugh at the expression on Clint's face right before Friday interrupted. Steve slightly looked up and Kara groaned as she closed the fridge. "Sorry gut you'll have to wait" she muttered childishly as the team headed outside. Steve had his shield but didn't bother with the uniform, the others had weapons but not suited up, this was their home. "She's right pal, you're on Avengers property, you need to leave before it gets ugly" Steve warned. Kara stood between Bucky and Natasha, ready for a fight, even if it was a vampire. "You'll learn the hard way, we don't hand over family to creeps so easily" Nat voiced. All of them were ready to fight until Anastasia took care of it. "Well, seems like you didn't need us after all" Steve remarked as he held his shield at his side. "I'll call Fury, you know, between you and Thor, the lawn maintenance of this place is exhausting" Tony remarked as he went inside the compound.

    ‘’Then make it into stone’’ Anna said and tony stopped mid step, Bucky, Clint and Sam couldnt help but augh at that, and the cheeky smile Anna wore ‘’you.. did you just… ooohhh… i dont like you very much right now..’’ tony stated and stomped off ‘’who knew you could crack a joke’’ sam stated before Nat and Wanda hugged her ‘’aahh! You are hugging.. why?’’ Anna said as she stiffened, she didnt like.. so much… touching ‘’you called us family!1 that’s the first time you’ve acknowledged us like that!’’ Wanda said happily and Anna sighed ‘’remind me to nto do that again..’’ she stated and huffed ‘’nope.. you siad it..it’s offcial.. you view us as family. Kne woyu had a soft spot’’ Clint teased ‘’okay! I am done with the hugging!!! No touching!!’’ Anna siad as she got them off ‘’ no..’’ she siad with a pointed look ‘’oh its gonna happen.. every day now.. you did this to yourself’’ nat said and chuckled, she mgiht be a assassin, but even she couldnt help but tease the vampire ‘’ o.. no.. yu.. are to not hug me.. ever’’ Anna siad and bucky laughed as sshe dodged the girls ‘’i can see why you like her.. under all that cold vampire, Richard exterior, is actually a ncie perosn.. who knew.. good choice.. much better than Peggy’’ bucky and nudged Steve’s arm and chuckled a bit before everyone went inside, anmd Anna made a beeline for the secret room ebfore anyone could stop her again. She needed ot relax or else she was going to hurt someone ‘’Kara, lets make dinner together’’ nat said and guided ehr sister tot he kitche.

    Steve watched as Natasha and Wanda continued trying to hug Anastasia, he chuckled at the scene as he'd never seen either of them do that before. "Okay come on kids, leave Ana alone" Steve said in his 'dad' voice as the others called it. When Bucky nudged him, Steve sighed and slightly shook his head. "Maybe. But you still need to work on that angle" he teased quietly. Steve knew Bucky had been quite the ladies man back in the forties, and it was still there....somewhere. When Nat suggested cooking dinner together with her sister, Steve rose a brow. "You two can cook?" He jokingly asked. "Kara can, she showed me a little...I usually do like the salad and stuff" Natasha explained. "Or setting the table like mom had you do, it was always me and mama in the kitchen that's how I learned" Kara teased as they got stuff out and got started on chicken stuffed with cheesy garlic mushrooms, creamy scalloped potatoes and a basic tossed salad, of course making enough for everyone.  Steve smiled and when the girls weren't looking, he nudged Bucky and motioned at Kara, seeing as Steve knew neither of them could really cook themselves.
