Bucky's POV
________________________________________
Steve is a super soldier now, and I have no idea where y/n is, and it's all too much. I tried to get Steve to try and find her but he says she's safe with another one of the soldiers, but doesn't know exactly where she is.

We are walking back to Italy, and all my mind on is y/n. Where is she? What soldier is she with? Is she hurt? Does she know I'm alright? Did Hydra do anything to her? All of these questions on repeat.

Y/n's POV

Silence. Absolute silence. Waking up I don't hear the streets of Brooklyn or the noise of horns, I hear nothing. I slowly open my eyes, the low lights from the control panel of the tank helping show me where I am.

Dum Dum or Montgomery isn't here, and when I try to move, a shooting pain goes through my leg, and I remember my stab wound. Where am I? Did Hydra capture everyone again? Am I still at the Hydra base, or did Dum Dum drive us somewhere else?

I lean up, and try to find some clue of where I am, but there is no map or anything on this thing. I do find a handgun lying on the floor, and I quickly grab in for defense, knowing I won't be able to use my combat skills if someone is out there.

It has 5 bullets inside and no other amo is nearby. My eyes widen when I hear someone shout, followed by cheering and clapping. I stand up, ignoring the immense pain I'm feeling and open the roof slightly.

I wince at the light that shines through and I try to focus my vision to see where I am. Once I get a clear view, I see a whole bunch of people standing around someone else. I look around, realising I'm at the Italy base, and that's the 107th. Bucky.

I use my upper body strength to pull myself out of the tank, slowly making my way down, not even caring about my leg anymore. I get to the ground, wincing in pain as I limp towards the group.

Dum Dum rushed over to me, since he noticed me first and started to walk me over to the group. That's when I saw him. He has a scar on his cheek, looks a bit rough, but he's okay. He's alive.

He notices me too. He pushes through the crowd, and starts to run towards me. I get out of Dugan's grasp and limp over to him. Bucky engulfs me into a hug immediately once he gets to me, arms wrapped tightly around my torso as I wrap my around him.

He smells terrible, but let's admit it, so do I. I'm just glad to be in his arms again. "God I miss you," he breaths out.

"I thought something happened to you," I said. I don't care about anything about keeping us a secret anymore and grab his cheeks softly, kissing him passionately. He kisses back immediately, and I feel myself tear up slightly at the reunion that I didn't think would happen again. In the background you can hear whistles, cheering and clapping.

"Morita, you owe me 20 bucks!" I hear Gabe yell, making me break, laughing lightly. I look into Bucky's blue eyes that I missed, kissing his cheeks softly, all of me happy knowing he is alright.

"What the hell happened to your leg?" Bucky says, now noticing my leg. I look down, taking my first good look at it and see that blood is dripping down my leg, even with the cloth.

"Stabbed. I need to get to the medial tent," I say, knowing that I'm on the brink of death.

"You think?" Bucky says. "I'm carrying you there." I reluctantly agree, and Bucky picks me up bridal style, walking over to the medical tent. "You really scared me out there. Did you know Steve is huge now? Like he's taller than me."

"I thought that was physically impossible?" I chuckle lightly. "Isn't he a super soldier now?"

"Apparently." We got to the tent, and Bucky immediately put me on a stretcher. All of the nurses were rushing around, trying to help all of the soldiers coming in the tents. "I need a nurse over here before she bleeds out!"

A nurse runs over our way, looking for all my wounds. She starts to wheel me away from Bucky, and he tries to follow but the nurse stops him. "I need you to wait outside the tent," she says calmly.

"I can't just leave her," he says, not wanting to leave my side.

"If something happens, I will get you...Sergeant Barnes," she says, and starts pushing me into a separate part of the tent. "Hello, can you please tell me your name?"

"Y/n L/n," I say, and grit in pain as she starts to take off my bandage. "Agent Y/n L/n."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Violet," she says, and starts examining my wound. "Well lucky you, Agent, the wound doesn't seem like it went through any important muscle, but it definitely needs stitches."

She goes to the side and grabs a bottle of vodka. "We ran out of painkillers, so vodka is going to have to do," she says, handing me the bottle. I've gotten stitches before, but I was on painkillers, and it still hurt, so I know I'm going to need this. I chug some of it down and she hands me a cloth to put in my mouth so I don't break my teeth.

She starts to stitch my leg up together, and I grunt and scream in pain, just wishing everything would stop and I could go back to Bucky.
