Datura - Bucky Barnes

Ambiguity

Ambiguity ~ a confusing mixture of feelings or ideas that makes something hard to understand

We arrived at the raging club 20 minutes later with Bucky constantly annoying me. I park the R8 in handicapped.

"Why did you park in handicapped?" Steve asks me, reading the sign.

"We have Bucky," I shrug. Bucky glares at me and I smirk. Serves him right for saying plums were the best fruit. Has he ever tried a watermelon?

Steve chuckles at my response and the five of us get out of the car. The club was filled with neon lights and drunk people. The stench of alcohol filled my nose as we walked. Bucky and Steve were already out of sight and Nat dragged me to the bar, "Do you want something to drink?"

I shake my head and look around. Steve was talking to Tony and Bucky was... making out with some blonde girl in his lap.

I turn back to the bartender, "I changed my mind. Can I get nine shots of vodka?"

I was no lightweight.

*********************************

One hour later

"SHAWTY HAD THEM APPLE BOTTOM JEANS. BOOTS WITH THE FUR," I yell.

"WITH THE FURRRR," Nat yells.

Tony continues, "THE WHOLE CLUB WAS LOOKING AT HER."

"SHE HIT THE FLOOR."

"She hit the floor!"

"Next thing you know."

I move my hips, getting low, "SHAWTY GOT LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW LOW."

I feel Stevie grab my shoulder, "Cmon Thea. You're drunk as hell."

I brush him off and continue dancing, "I am not drunk. Just itsy bitsy tipsy."

"Let's go home," he groans. I look around and see Bucky leaving the club, some blonde chick leading him out.

I grab another shot glass from a passing waiter, practically inhaling the alcohol, "You're no fun Stevie. Let loose!"

Poor guy couldn't even get drunk. I take his hands in mine start dancing once again. He gave me a plain look and his arms flapped around as I moved them.

He rolls his eyes and picks me up by the legs, fireman style, "I'm taking you back to the compound."

I giggle slightly as he grabs drunk Nat's hand, pulling her with us.

"You're a good brother Stevie," I pay his back approvingly, still hanging upside down.

He chuckles, "I know I am Thee."

*********************************
The next morning

"Aaaaaahhhhhh," I groan, walking downstairs. My head was killing me. I drank too much alcohol. Shit. I head to the kitchen where Nat and Stevie were talking. It was so clear they liked each other. Why are they so dumb?

"Where's the Advil?" I ask no one in particular as I open cabinets.

"Third one to your left. You want pancakes?" Stevie gets up and walks to the stove.

"Sure," I take a pill and go sit next to Nat. Once I was out of Steve's earshot I say, "You know he likes you."

Nat sighs, "I don't know."

"You should date him."

She steers clear of the subject, "So how are you and Bucky?"

"He left with some other girl last night."

Nat takes my hand, "Oh I'm sorry. But he does like you. He's hurt. You weren't exactly nice to him the other morning."

I chuckle, "He deserves better than me Nat."

"Pancakes for you," Stevie puts a plate in front of me, stacked with pancakes.

I take a bite and smile,"Thanks Stevie."

Flashback, January 6 2005

Rumlow and I walk through the SHIELD facility, looking for anything important.

We see a room labeled "Files" with a red sign above it saying "Restricted". This seemed like the place. We open the door to reveal thousands of boxes stacked amongst the shelves.

"What are they looking for?" I ask Rumlow.

"It's an old military video tape on Joseph Rogers. He stole a weapon from us back in 1918," he replies. He shuffles through some boxes.

The name seemed so familiar yet I couldn't place it. I shake the thought out of my head and continue to open boxes, "Found it."

I wave a video tape in the air. I go towards the player to put it in but Rumlow stops me, "I have strict orders not to let you see this. We are to take it directly to HYDRA."

Back to normal

I wake up sweating. Another memory had come to my mind. This memory I already had, it was while I was Datura, but I had forgotten of this mission until now. I've been on too many to remember all. Multiple questions came to my mind.

What did my father take from HYDRA?

What did the weapon do?

Why was it so important?

Is this how my dad died?

If my dad died in 1918, why would they make me go on the mission in 2005?

What was on that video tape?

Does HYDRA have the weapon now?

The questions flowed through my head, blocking out all my other thoughts. I had no idea l what was going on but I needed to tell Stevie. If this had something to do with our father, he would want to know.

I sigh and get up from the bed, on my way to Steve's room.

Why can't I live a normal life?

A/N: Just to clear somethings up, if you go back a few chapters, you get to the flashback where 18yr old Thea was kidnapped. They asked for what Thea's father, Joseph Rogers stole. Thea wasn't allowed to see the tape because HYDRA was worried she would remember her past. Also, present-Thea knows Rumlow knows something but she can't remember due to HYDRA wiping her mind. That's why she went after Rumlow on the mission and ignored Tony's orders. Last thing, I feel like I didn't make it clear but Thea was in a cell and was being trained for 10 years after being kidnapped. At this time the brain wiping machine wasn't created, so they were training Thea, not Datura. After the ten years, they wiped her mind and put her in cryofreeze, only taking her out for missions.
