Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Six

Everyone was staring at me. Did I grow another limb or something? I look down at my hands and I see it. A soft yellow light emanating from my body. Almost like a glow.

Immediately I start to panic in my head. Thoughts incoherent and unorganized. I look up wildly and confused darting my eyes from Howard, to Erskine, to Peggy. Anyone who could help.

I push against my restraints and find them falling off of me with ease.

I step down from the board and practically fall to my knees. I look up at everyone looking at me with sheer panic in their eyes. They're saying something, but I can't make it out.

I start hyperventilating, shallow breaths not allowing me to get a full breath in. I look up, lock eyes with Howard and pleading for help through my eyes.

I feel tears welling up in my eyes that I can't control. My head starts to spin, the world starts to spin from my lack of oxygen.

I finally feel a hand on my shoulder and my head shoots up to see Howard kneeling beside me, trying to talk to me.

I slowly start registering his words. "Breathe (Y/N), you need to breathe!!" He gestures the motion of breathing for me to follow. I try to copy his motions. Finally feeling oxygen return to my head. My mind starts to clear and I can start making out the commotion in the room.

"Breathe..." Howard keeps repeating like a mantra.

"Get me my bag!" I hear Erskine shouting to an assistant, making his way towards me.

"Contain her! Get a sedative!" You hear Colonel Phillips yelling to armed guards.

"No! She's fine. Howard got through to her, STOP! Don't do this!" You hear Peggy arguing with Phillips and trying to block the guards.

You see the guards push through Peggy, through Erskine, and finally pushing aside Howard. Before you can register what was happening the world around you turned to black.

Howard's POV

"(Y/N)..."

She looked at us, confused and somewhat dazed. She finally looked down to her hands and you saw as sheer panic rose within her. Her eyes darted all throughout the room as the glow started to get a bit brighter.

I heard Phillips and the rest running down from the viewing box, knowing the situation was going to get bad if (Y/N) wouldn't calm down.

All of a sudden you hear the restraints holding (Y/N) snap with ease and see her fall to her knees. You glace back at Phillips and see fear shooting through his face. Things are going to get worse alright. Shit.

Everyone is screaming to get this or that. In all the commotion I can see (Y/N) hyperventilating. Barely able to get a breath in.

Her glow slowly diminishing bit by bit. I gather up my courage, reminding myself that this was my friend. And knelt down next to her. "Breathe (Y/N), you need to breathe!!" I motioned to her, trying to get her to copy my motions.

She starts to reply in turn taking deep breaths in and out. I keep reminding her to breathe.

I hear Peggy arguing with Phillips, but I pay no mind. Trying to focus on (Y/N), making sure that she's okay.

Then all of a sudden I'm pushed to the side by some guards who administer a sedative to (Y/N), effectively making her hit the floor as she blacked out.

"What the HELL Phillips???!!!" I scream as I run up to him and get in his face.

"Stand down Stark, you may be a part of this, but this is my project. Take her to her room. We will have to study her, run tests, figure out what the hell she is now. And what the hell to do with her." Phillips says with force.

He looks at Erskine and walks right up to him, shoving his fingers towards him. "And you! This fucked up little serum of yours better work with Rodgers, or you bet your ass I'll make sure you never work on a project ever again. This failure is on you!"

With that Philips walks out of the lab in a fury with his team in tow. Leaving the rest of us in shock, and completely terrified.

I walk to the room where (Y/N) has been staying and peer through the door frame. She's sleeping so peacefully. A frown forms on my face. They're never going to let her out of here. I hope and pray that I am wrong.
