Datura - Bucky Barnes

Evocation

Evocation ~ the act of bringing or recalling a feeling, memory or image to the conscious mind

"So, this is your room," Steve extends his arm, opening a door.

I'm greeted to a bright pink room and I immediately grimace. Steve noticed my expression, "What's wrong?"

"It's so...pink," I clap my hands, "Oookay. I need tons of black spray paint and I need to go to a furniture store."

"I can take you now, if you'd like," he walks me out as I nod.

30 minutes later

"Wow," I look around in awe, "I've never seen an IKEA before. I just knew it was a furniture store."

Steve just chuckles, "Come on. Let's go buy some stuff. I got Tony's card."

We walk around for a while and I sit down on a couch. I stared at the bookshelf across from me and just think.

Steve sits next to me, and, all of a sudden, a memory comes at bay.

Flashback, October 16 1936, Thea is 16, Steve is 18

I sat on the couch, staring at the bookshelf.

Mom loves that bookshelf. Loved. She loved that bookshelf. It was tattered and one shelf was broken, but she was proud of it. She never told me why.

Steve sat next to me and put his head on my shoulder. I put my own head on top of his. He stares at the bookshelf with me, "Are you okay?"

"No," I sighed, "Our mother died."

"I know Thee."

We sat there, staring at the bookshelf, thinking of memories with Mom.

Back to normal

Multiple other memories came at bay, rushing through my head.

"Thea? Are you okay?" he looks at me, his voiced laced with worry.

I smile, "I remember. Stevie! I remember multiple things!"

He hugs me tightly, squishing me.

"Stevie. Stevie. You're a superhuman," I choke out.

He lets go of me, a big smile on his face, "Right. Sorry."

We end up racking a $5000 bill and we head home. After a few hours of redecorating, the room looked much better.

I sit on the bed, "Thanks for the help."

"I'm gonna go train. Do you want to join or sleep?"

"I'll join," I walk with him towards the training floor.

Bucky was already there. He looks over at me, "Thea."

I grit my teeth, one of my memories coming at bay, "Bucky."

I walk over to him and punch him.

Flashback-During Thea's training, age 19, before she was brainwashed and put in cryofreeze, Day 382

I sat on the floor of my cell, my eyes closed as I heard a mouse squeaking around.

I heard the door open and a light flickers, revealing a gorgeous man with slightly grown brown hair and blue eyes, his arms behind his back, cuffed. He was accompanied by two guards.

One of the guards shouted something in German and threw the man next to me. They leave and he sits next to me.

I watch his movements and after a moment, decide to talk, "What's your name? I'm Thea."

I didn't know how long I was gonna be here. Might as well know someone.

"Bucky."

"Nice to meet you Bucky."

He nods and doesn't say anything. Eventually, I fall asleep.

An unknown amount of hours later

Bang. Bang. Bang.

"Get up!" the soldier shot his gun in the air, and I jolt out of my sleep. He tosses two small plates of food...well, mush...on a flattened cardboard box, "Eat."

He leaves the room and I pick up the food. I started eating the sour glop spoon by spoon. Something hairy and hard went down my throat, and I started choking.

Bucky pounded on my back, causing me to spit it out.

Through the faint sunlight peeking through, I saw a dead baby mouse. I gag and a few tears escape my eyes as I whisper, "I can't do this."

I get up and start banging on the metal bars, "Let me out!"

Bucky runs and pulls me back, "Are you crazy? They'll beat you if you keep screaming."

I fall back into his arms, a sobbing mess, "I wanna go home. I m-miss my brother and my friends."

"I know," he whispers, "I promise I'll get you out. I'll keep you safe, okay?"

I calm myself, "Okay."

Back to normal

"Thea! What the hell was that?" Steve helps Bucky up. I storm out of the training floor, heading back to my room.

Fuck you Bucky.

A/N: Heyyy! So what I'm gonna do is kinda two stories at one time. So we'll be following the current story, and then you'll see a bunch of Thea's memories in italicized flashbacks and these flashbacks will either be while she was at HYDRA, or her life before that. Also make sure to pay attention to the days, because they won't be in order. For example, this chapter's flashback had Day 382, but in a few chapters I might write about Day 6, per se. Also, not all chapters will have flashbacks, and some chapters will have multiple. It just depends on how they fit into the story. Thanks for reading! Love you 3000! ❤️❤️❤️
