Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Seven

I wake up in my room, completely confused and dazed. As I start to slowly wake up, memories start flooding my mind.

Immediately I look at my hands. The glow. It's gone. Did I dream it? Was any of it real. I start to rise slowly from my bed, my body feels heavy and sluggish. Finally pulling myself to the edge of the bed I take a look around my room.

Nothing out of place. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I step off the edge of the bed, making sure I can hold my own weight. Then I slowly, sluggishly start making it to the door. I reach for the handle and turn to open the door. I immediately realize that its locked. From the outside.

I knock on the door, "Hello?? Hello?? Any one out there?" I beg, I plead. No answer.

I continue knocking on the door, trying to get any one's attention for what seems like hours. I eventually give up and sit up on the bed, tucking my legs to by body. I feel as if the walls are closing in on me. What's going to happen to me?

My mind wanders to Steve and Bucky. Will I ever see them again? I remember Bucky promised to send me letters. Will I ever get to read them? To write back. Will I ever be able to tell you that when I thought I couldn't take anymore I saw you. Only you.

As my mind raced with thoughts of uncertainty, the door opening jolts me back.

"(Y/N)..." I heard as I peek from my position to see Howard standing at the door frame. Behind him I notice two armed guards.

"Howard!" I instantly leap to my feet and run to hug him, finally happy to see a friendly face. But before I can reach him, a guard pushes him aside and knocks me back. I hit the floor; shock clearly written in my face.

"That isn't necessary!" Howard snaps and runs to my side, glaring at the guards. "Leave me alone with her. She's fine. Wait outside!"

The guards look at each other uncertain, shrug and close the door behind them.

"Howard? What's going on? I don't understand..." I say as I take his hand to stand.

"(Y/N), Phillips has ordered you to confinement in the room. He wants to run tests. We're trying to get him to loosen the restrictions on you, but no matter what Peggy, Erskine or I say he's not budging. We won't stop trying (Y/N). I promise." Howard says leading you to your bed, taking a seat next to you.

"Tests? I don't understand..."

"(Y/N) do you remember anything?" He said looking at me intently.

"I remember a glow... but I must have been imagining that right? Right??" I repeated as I searched his face.

"You weren't imagining that. I promise we will figure this out (Y/N), I promise." He stated as I'm sure my expression of shock displayed at his words.

-.-.-.-

Days blurred after that moment Howard came into my room. Test after test were administered. Endurance tests. Strength tests. Phycological tests.

After a while they started to see the reactions the serum had on my body. Erskine said I did become that "super soldier" they were looking for, although no visible physical changes in my body had taken place. But the yellow serum, once exposed to the vita rays also had an unwanted reaction.

They first saw the yellow glow again during a strength test. They kept pushing my limits. Seeing how far I could go. When they asked me to lift 4 times my weight, I felt like I couldn't go on, but then almost instantly I felt another burst of energy and was able to lift it with ease. The yellow serum ran through my veins, it made me glow again, gave me the strength to keep going.
