Bucky walked up to Hazel and placed a hand on her shoulder. Madame HYDRA tried to take a step forward but stopped when she saw the magic surrounding Hazel's fingertips.
"It's time to come home, Hazel. It's time to come back to the base."
"I'm not coming back. I'm not gonna bow down to you anymore. Don't even try mother. You will fail," Hazel said.
"Ophelia just go. Don't drag Hazel into what is probably between you and me," Bucky said.
"Awe Bucky. You still have a thing for me. That's sweet but I'm only here for Hazel. Come on Hazel. Let's go home," Ophelia said.
"I am home. Home is where the heart is. My heart is with my dad and soulmate," Hazel said.
"That sweet but your soulmate is at base 13. Come on sweetie. Let's go home. Now Hazel. Let's go home. NOW," Ophelia yelled.
Bucky stepped forward and pushed Hazel behind him so he was shielding her. Stephen had the cloak of levitation go and rest on Hazel's shoulders in case she needed a getaway.
"Back off Ophelia. What was it you said when Hazel was born? That's it. 'I just want her to be happy as she grows up.' Well, where were you? Her first steps? First words? First nightmare? First tooth? So don't come in now saying Hazel is your daughter when you haven't even been there for her," Bucky yelled.
"Dad, do you trust me? No questions asked," Hazel asked.
"No questions asked. Always have trusted you and always will."
"Good. Then know I love you."
Hazel had Levi go back to Stephen and walked up to Ophelia. Ophelia smiled as Hazel walked to her and stood beside her.
"I guess we know who she picked. You can't take a daughter away from her mother. Now Hazel open us a portal to base 13?"
"Yes, mother."
Hazel used her sling rings to open a portal to the Dark Dimension. Ophelia didn't see that until she walked through the portal and Hazel had started to close the portal. As the portal was closing Ophelia had enough time to get her hand through as the portal fully closed and cut off her hand.
"Cool it's Madame HYDRA's hand. Can I have it," Tony asked.
"Tony no," Hazel said.
"Tony yes," Tony said.
"Tony no," Bucky said.
"Tony maybe," Tony said.
"Tony no," Steve sighed.
"Tony no," Tony said.
Everyone on the roof went inside and sat on the couch to watch a movie. When everybody sat down Stephen pulled Hazel into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist. Tony put on Paranormal Activity so he could curl into Steve. Sadly Hazel had never seen a scary movie before so when the first scary part came on she screamed and hid her face in Stephen's neck.
"Scared," Stephen whispered.
"Very. HYDRA never let us watch movies," Hazel whispered back.
At the next scary part, Hazel stood up and went to her room. She sat on the on her bed and thought of a song to sing. When it came to mind she started to snap her fingers to create a beat.
Da-da-da-da-da-da

Grew up in a small town
And when the snow would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I make a wish, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
Take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da da-da
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away
And break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I make a wish, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
But gotta keep movin' on movin' on
Fly away, break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place where I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and break away
Break away
Break away
After she was done singing she just sat on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Around 5:30 pm Bucky came into Hazel's room saying dinner was ready.
"HYDRA's still sticking with me Dad. I'm not hungry."
Bucky left Hazel's and sighed. Hazel changed into her pajamas and crawled underneath the covers of her bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
(Next Morning)
Hazel woke up around 10 in the morning. Thinking she was still in HYDRA she rushed to get ready but stopped and looked around the room. She changed into a red shirt, black pants, black boots, and a black jacket. For jewelry, she put on a silver locket that held a picture of her and her dad. Waking into the kitchen she saw Steve at the island.
"Penny for your thoughts," Hazel asked.
"What are you doing up early," Steve asked.
"I asked you first."
"So answer first."
"Meeting at Majesty Records for a record deal. Now you."
"It's about Tony. I've been with him for two years now and I want to propose to him."
"That's great Uncle Steve. Shit."
"Language and Uncle Steve?"
"It kinda slipped out. If you don't want me to call you that---"
"Hazel it's fine. I finally have a niece now."
"And my first job as your niece is to help you propose to Tony. Out with it?"
"Too scared to ask in front of everyone."
"Wimp. Leave it where he can see it with a note?"
"Easy for someone else to mistake it."
"Scavenger hunt?"
"That's...not a bad idea. Now let's make breakfast."
"Do you have sugar, cinnamon, milk, and rice? And a big pot?"
"Yes."
Steve pulled out the pot and the things Hazel asked for. Quickly Hazel made breakfast and for a side she made toast. Everyone walked into the kitchen as Hazel was placing bowls of Arroz Con Leche on the table.
"You made it," Bucky exclaimed.
"Dad you act like a child but yes I made it. Now, are you gonna eat or not," Hazel asked.
Bucky ran to the table taking a seat and grabbing a piece of toast. Everyone followed Bucky to the table and started to eat. Steve and Hazel were the last to sit down and eat. Hazel was on Bucky's right and Steve on Tony's left.
"Hey, Hazel what's this called," Wanda asked.
"Arroz Con Leche. English translation rice pudding. Made with cinnamon, milk, sugar, and rice. There's actually a story as to why I made this," Hazel said.
Around 11:15 Hazel grabbed her phone and looked at everyone.
"Wish me luck guys."
"Good luck," Everyone yelled.
