Dear Sofia [Bucky Barnes]

14

Tony had swore he had never seen Steve in such a state of shock until that moment.

It was probably after his fifth reading of the entry made by Howard that he finally could produce words, well simply just questions.

"What the hell does this mean?!" He called out in a flustered tone.

"I'm not sure.." Tony said, pulling the journal back to re-read the page.

They were sort of confused still, I mean it was 3 in the morning so it was understandable, but I mean, the facts were there. Howard left her frozen behind a secret wall and to their knowledge, she was still there.

The logical next step was to inform Bucky.

Steve wasn't concerned of the time when he began knocking on Bucky's bedroom door, it wasn't like he was even asleep anyway. Since he had found out that nobody know what happened to her, he just could drift off.

"Steve, I hope your aware of the time.." He mumbled as he opened the door, giving Steve a threatening stare.

"You can yell at me later.." Steve responded, pushing his way through the door.

He went for the bed, sitting himself on top of the messed up covers and looking up to Bucky, who was shutting the door. When Bucky took a closer look at his best friend, he noticed the dark leather journal in his hand, worrying him a bit.

"Wanna fill me in on what's going on?" Bucky asked, breaking the silence.

Steve was quiet for a moment, almost a form of hesitancy was brewing. He flicked through the journal, landing on that faithful page of answers and handing the journal to Bucky.

His face went from confusion, to sadness, to aggression. Steve followed the trace of his eyes, noticing how they were flicking back to the top of the page, then knowing he was re-reading the page.

There's was a lot of silence as Bucky was attempting to process this information, unsure really of what to make of it. Although when words were formed, they were similar to his friends.

"What the hell does this mean?!" He asked, looking to Steve.

"I'm gonna tell you, but Tony said not to get your hopes up.." Steve said.

"Alright, just spit it out!" Bucky replied, frantic for answers.

Steve paused, knowing if this was wrong that it would completely break Bucky. But he had to know, he had to know if there was a chance.

"The lab that this freezing has stayed powered, Howard made sure it was never without electricity. Tony believes that Sofia never came out of ice.." Steve explained.

"Are you saying what I think your saying.." Bucky said, attempting not to get his hope up as his friend suggested.

"There is a chance that Sofia is still alive.."
