Chapter 2

The three of them looked at each other speechless. What had just happened? Sam was the first to break the silence. "I think one of my ribs are cracked" he groaned. Steve looked to him 

"Are you okay?" he questioned

"I feel like shit. it's not easy to keep up with you two and whatever that thing was." Bucky rolled his eyes. He used his metal arm to push himself off the floor and got up, dusting himself off and began to walk over to where the two friends stood. "What about you Buck?" Asked Steve.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little bruised." Bucky informed him.

"Man, you didn't even fight her, how are you bruised. Look at me!" Whined Sam like a child. Steve gave him a look. "Let's go back up to Fury's office, see whats happening with the prisoner.

Some time later....

Bucky stood in front of the mirror trying to clear his head but failing miserably. 'Why is she here? what does she want? is she still working for Hydra?'  He shook his head. looking for a distraction he headed outside. He walked out from the bathroom turning to look out of the window. the view of the lake was stunning. Stunning enough to distract him for a moment. The sun filtered through the blinds. He walked over and pulled on the blinds to fully open them. He let out a loud exhale and smiled. He looked down to his arm and saw the sun reflecting off it, the smile sliding off his face. No matter how far he seemed to run he could never truly escape them. Especially since they were a part of him. She was a prime example of this. 

With one last longing gaze out onto the lake he walked over to the door and pulled it open, resuming his quest to look for a distraction. As soon as he stepped out into the corridor he heard voices coming from the 'Living room' realising this was a mistake he backtracked and tried to go back into his room upon hearing that they were talking about what had occurred an hour earlier.

"Bucky?" Steve's voice rang out. He sighed and ventured out of the shadowy corridor of safety and into the living room. Steve and Sam were sitting at the Kitchen counter Tony sitting opposite them. He cringed inwardly when he saw Tony. Things were still bumpy between them . Tony said that he had forgiven him, but privately Bucky thought that he hadn't and was just saying that to make peace with Steve, but nevertheless, they both remained as civil as the could towards each other. 

"We were just talking about what happened" Said Steve

"I gathered" replied Bucky looking desperately around for an escape. This was the last thing he wanted to talk about. Sam's head was in his hands and looked up

"We passed through her. Please tell me I wan't the only one who saw that." Groaned Sam

"He-" Started Steve

"Or she" Tony cut in as Bucky muttered "it's a she" under his breath.

Tony's head snapped up. "What did you say?"

Bucky froze not realising he had said that out loud. "Uhm-"

Did Bucky know something? Tony thought.

"Tony is right. We don't even know who this person is." Steve said over Bucky. Secretly Bucky was thankful for this. He didn't know what he would have said if Steve had not cut in.

"Apparently they can't even get their mask off. They can't figure out how. One of Sam's rockets hit them and was bleeding out when they were interrogating them. They didn't even realise they was losing blood until they lost consciousness." Said Steve

"Did they say anything in the interrogation?" Said Bucky rather abruptly. Tony looked at him suspiciously. 

"No" replied Steve.
