I: the burning

Charlie Mitchell has lived the past two years safe and sound in the Avenger's compound. Little fear of being captured by HYDRA has been harbored in her brain, but when a certain super-soldier arrives, her healing process is set back. His image reminds her of life in capture, and she starts to wonder. Will she ever be what she was before?
