Red Room

27: Intruder

A/N: We lost power :( Im trying to write at every chance I get, but like its bad down here, idk if yall have seen the news, but yeah. Im so so sorry that this is affecting how often I can update, as soon as power gets back on, roads open up again, etc, I'll be frequently updating to make up for this.

Blankly staring at the ceiling, you considered everything Darcy had told you. Nick seemed to have some level of trust for her, he wouldn't have just left if he didn't. That was enough reason for you to consider her an ally. But, as much as you trusted Darcy, you couldn't help but fell different about the others. 

Next was why they didn't believe you were hydra, this part was a little confusing, they believe in gods and superpowers and aliens and shit, but not Hydra still being alive? What?

Why would they even believe you were extraterrestrial? Whatever. Finally,  how did they know about your incident? Nothing makes sense. You were piecing together a probably not true story, when you heard a knock at the door. 

You shot up and glared at the door in confusion/fear. You carefully slid out of the bed and tip toed open to cautiously open the door, revealing a mostly covered SHIELD guard. 

The guard moved into the room swiftly and motioned for you to close the door. For some reason, you cooperated, and as soon as the handle clicked, the guard removed their mask. 

"Bucky!" you cheered, flinging yourself at the soldier before you. 

"Hey, hey, shhh." he chuckled, hugging you back and lifting you off of your feet. 

"What are you doing here? If you get found, we're dead."

"Wanted to make sure you weren't getting treated like a piece of evidence."

You smiled at his efforts as he brushed a piece of hair from your forehead, "and I couldn't sleep." he sighed. 

Taking his face in your hands, his eyes met yours, and for a split second, you saw fear seeping from them. 

"Hun, what's wrong?" you breathed. 

"A lot.". He pulled you into his chest, so tight that you could feel the shakiness of this breathing and the violent thumping of his heart. You melted into him, brushing his back with the tips of your fingers- it always calms him down. 

A few more minutes like that seemed to be all he needed, yet still not enough to make him feel better. 

"I just got really attached, and now I'm afraid of losing you." he whispered. 

Your eyes betrayed you as tears hung onto the ends of your lashes, staying on by sheer will. "Don't be ridiculous, you know you don't have to worry about that." 

"I don't trust the people here...something's off." he responded. 

"Me neither...and as much as I love you, you're going to get caught."

He huffed in frustration, "I don't wanna leave you here alone."

"Buck, I'm alive, see? I can handle myself. It's okay. Nick's not gonna let anything happen."

-----

The next morning, rather than being awoken by Darcy, you found yourself in a new room, chained to a chair, with a pounding headache.

"Why does this keep happening?" you muttered to yourself, not expecting a response. 

"Because you can't control when you turn into a monster." the speakers boomed. 

Your eyes darted around the room, desperately seeking the source of the painfully familiar voice. 

"What does that mean? Where am I? Who are you?"

A devilish snicker filled the room, "Honey, you know exactly what it means, your memory may be foggy, but I assure you that this is no new home for you, and how could you not remember me?"
