Cinnamon Roll

Chapter 4

Just a little note from me, the author. This story is going in a completely different direction from what I first intended. As a result, I have no idea how this story is going to play out, meaning that there may be some inconsistencies, mistakes, etc. I will come back afterwards to edit. If you pick up on anything, please let me know.

A couple of weeks have passed since the nightmare. Bucky has gone off somewhere and so it's just me and Sam. Except I don't know where Samis. I flop on the couch, having no idea what to do. I shut my eyes. Moments later I hear a voice.

"June. Move over."

My eyes spring open.

"Bucky! What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be away for a week."

Bucky doesn't say anything. I sit up, noticing the look on his face.

"Buck, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," he says, sitting down beside me.

"There obviously is something wrong. You know you can tell me."

"I don't think I do know if I can tell you."

"What are you talking about?"

Bucky turns to me.

"Sam didn't tell you why I was going away, did he?"

I shake my head. Bucky sighs.

"Sam and I have been worried about you. You haven't been yourself lately."

"You guys don't need to worry about me. I'm fine."

Bucky shakes his head.

"Your name isn't really June. Do you remember what your name really is?"

I shake my head.

"It's Jean."

I frown. It sounds so familiar, yet so foreign at the same time.

"Do you remember what year you were born?"

"I thought I was born 1933."

"H.Y.D.R.A. seemed to think so too. But you weren't. You were born 1920."

My frown deepens.

"It turns out... you were friends with my sister."

I stare at him like he's crazy.

"I didn't even know you had any siblings."

"I have three siblings... you were friends with Rebecca."

The name sparks something in my head.

"Rebecca?"

"You two were friends for a long time."

"I remember Rebecca. What happened to me, then? I... I don't remember."

"You went missing... for 10 years... when you were 12. You were found cold and confused by H.Y.D.R.A., so they decided to turn you into an experiment. At least, that's what I'm guessing from what I've heard... read... I think... I think you were trapped in ice."

"Jean... my name is Jean... It sounds so similar to June... that's probably why the name sounded right when I chose it..."

"So you knew all along that your name wasn't June?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"I didn't really know. I guessed, but I didn't know..."
