Helping one another

Hydra on the loose

Y/n's POV

Finally almost there! Then I can be alone, where no one will think I'm a bother or freak.. What the hell? The car started sputtering and slowing down, "oh no no no! Come on, not here! Why?" I looked at the tank, it was halfway full, so it was the engine. Shit. I pulled over to the side, turning off the engine and took the keys out of the car. I got out and saw a few cars here and there passing by, I didn't want to ask for help until I knew for sure what was going on, so I went to the hood of the car and opened it up, the engine started to smoke. I waved my hands in front of my face clearing it out of my way, as I leaned down to get a closer look I notice there were some wires that were hiding underneath the engine. I got down on my back and went under the car to see what it was. It was a bomb, and it was going to go off in 30 seconds. Shit, shit, fuck! I crawled away from the car and ran as fast as I could till there was car debris and ashes falling everywhere, there was a loud clank as something hit my head and I fell to my knees, then stomach as I remember that was the last thing before I went unconscious.
-Time Skip-
A few days later
I wake up head spinning, and my whole body is sore, covered in cuts and dried up blood. I slowly start to remember what happen. I gasp the engine slowing down making me get out to see what happened, the wires, the bomb and explosion. Crap, I think, my phone was in there. Now nobody will be able to know where I am. Then I remembered why I left the tower in the first place. Right, like anyone there would be worried about me. Maybe Nat and Wanda, but they never tried to call me or find out what happened. A man approached me, slowly coming out of the dark room. I looked at him and fear laced my eyes, but quickly turn to a stoic look so he can't tell how terrified I really am. I recognize him, or at least I think I can because of how he was described to me by Bucky when he told me stories of how he became the winter soldier. I thought they killed him. I guess this guys immortal, or maybe its a completely different guy, if he is different, he might not be able to be killed like the original guy. He came close to me and without me thinking about it, he suddenly smacks me across the face, my cheek burning from the sensation. He walks back to the door where there is a desk, and he grabs a phone and unlocks it, that's my phone, how did it survive? How does he know my passcode? My mind kept running with questions as he then proceeded to record himself and then said the one name I didn't want to hear anymore. The Avengers. He then knocked me out and I didn't hear what he really wanted.

Bucky's POV
The sounds of cars and people shouting at each other filled my ears as I walk downtown of New York. My mind is still on Y/n. I really messed up. I wanted her to stay not to drive her away! Damn it why was I so stupid! I should've known that she wasn't okay. I walk into the coffee shop she told me she loved and I went up to the register and asked her for a large coffee black. She nodded, as I pulled out the money, my phone started to ring and vibrate. I never understood why I needed a phone and an iPod, but Tony and y/n insisted that in case I was in trouble I could call the team. Steve and y/n were on speed dial. I took it out of my pocket and it was y/n. I got a text message with an attachment. "Your coffee sir." She put the cup on the counter, "thanks." I mumbled, too distracted. Thank god she's okay, what's weird is that she never sends pictures of videos of any kind directly to me, just usually in the group chat. I'm walking out of the shop with my coffee, and I open the message there is y/n... She looks bloody and baldy bruised. My heart skipped a beat as a man turns the phone to face him, and I recognize the face immediately. I drop my coffee and run to the compound.
-Time skip-
The elevator dinged and opened up, I stumbled to the living room, all heads turn to me and Steve rushes up to me trying to help me out. "What the hell tin man?" Tony asked, "Are you okay?" Steve looked at me as I nodded my head,"Y/n..." I tried to catch my breath tears prickling at my eyes from the burning in my lungs and fearful for y/n, "not okay... she... needs.. help" I looked at Tony and gave him my phone opening the message for him and everyone to see. "Aww why are you being camera shy darling, I'm not going to hurt you," he took a pause, "anymore than I already have, I just want information. I'm sorry I had to hurt that pretty face of yours, but I just want to know where your friends are, specifically that winter soldier." My eyes grew wide as I saw her unconscious, baldy cut and bruised, anger grew inside of me and I knew I had really screwed this up. Now shes going to go through the same hell I did all those years ago. I growled and my hands started to shake, everyone looked at me, Steve and Tony immediately were at my side trying to hold me back as Steve was trying to calm me down. It wasn't working, when suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks as I heard the worst sound I could ever imagine.
Y/n screamed. We all looked towards the video again which brought the attention away from me breaking down. The man came over to break y/n's arm. "Next is that leg of yours so you won't get any ideas of running away," he chuckled, her head fell down, her eyes closing and not moving. "So, here's the plan, you give me the soldier and then maybe," he pauses going towards you again this time with a mouth guard and equipment that I didn't recognize at first, confused and worried looks were around the room, all were holding their breath in fear and anticipation for what was going to happen to her. "maybe, I will give you your precious girl back, but, if you don't bring him, well," he chuckled as he forcefully put the guard in your mouth, "I have the next best winter soldier right here." Everyone exchanged looks but they all stared at me. I couldn't peel my eyes off of her. He hit her in the stomach earning a groan from y/n and the last thing he said was, "You have three days." The video ended, and we all just stared in worry and anger. "This is all your fault!" Wanda said breaking the silence. "If you dumb asses didn't make fun of y/n then she would be safe here not getting tortured!" Nat chimed in with similar things and they both hurried to the lab where they can try to hack into the video to get a location from her number. I hurry to catch up with them, I can't loose her. Not like this. I really screwed up. "Wanda, Nat wait please!" They turned and saw me running up towards them. "Wanda, you know I didn't mean anything I said to her, if I could take it back and apologize I would in a heart beat." Tears started to slowly run down my cheeks. They both looked at me with soft smiles, "Hey, its alright Bucky, we'll get her back, just this time make sure you actually tell her you love her, I know she loves you too. She wanted to tell you at the party but she had to go as me, she was planning on telling you that night. But when the other dumb bells," "Hey! We'll apologize too when we get her back home!" Steve said coming into the room now with Sam, Clint, Thor and Tony walking in behind them, "hurt her feelings, she didn't want to be around anyone." Wanda made a groan, "I can't trace it. F.R.I.D.A.Y can you try to hack into the cameras around the area where the car was last at?" "I'm trying sir, but it looks like the plates were fake, I can't trace it. I can try but its going to take time." I looked at Tony and practically yelled out, "We don't have any time! We need to find her now!" He looked at me frustrated, "well if you have any other plans then spit it out Tin man! You're right we don't have time! And if you had just told her how you felt rather than yelling at her to leave we wouldn't have to be looking for her right now huh?" I glared at him, but my eyes softened, he was right. I should have just had courage to tell her.  "Sir, its going to be about a few weeks to a month if not longer until we officially get an exact location on her." "FUCK!" I shouted and grabbing the nearest thing I could find that wouldn't be super expensive to throw at the wall. "Buck its going to be okay, and also language." Steve said to me, looking worried but also sternly for cursing. "We should get some rest while we can. It's going to be a while until something actually happens, until we do find something, we will have to rest up and do endless research on where we can find her. Barnes if you think of anything, even just the smallest detail you let us know. You understand? But if it becomes to much too, tell us and we can find another way. Got it?" Tony asked me. I nodded, starting to rack my brain and go through memory lane. Mostly it was unpleasant but I knew it was going to be okay because it was for her. For y/n. I sighed and started to walk down the gym to blow off some steam. What have I done? What if she ends up like me? Broken and torn apart? I can't just sit here and do nothing, I have to do something. Please don't let it be too late. Y/n I'm coming for you. And I promise I won't let anything like this ever happen to you again. I am so sorry.

End of this chapter! I'm hoping this is getting better! I will do the next one as soon as I can! Thanks for all the support!
