The girl couldn't not say that it wasn't a relief to see him again, though he looked paler, and his eyes more haunted than when she had last seen him.

The soldier looked confused, his eyes meeting Steve's.

"Who the hell is Bucky?"

The tense silence only spanned four seconds at most, but as soon as the surprise left the soldier's face, he grabbed something from his belt, and threw it at the ground, smoke exploding from the canister and blinding them.

Wait a minute he was supposed to shoot at Steve and then Nat would use his own rocket thing against him- what the-

A cold hand covered her mouth, a pinching sensation in her neck, and then the world slid sideways and she was out cold again.

The soldier snuck through back alleys and skirted around main roads, the unconscious body of the girl over his shoulder.

Tears from vomiting rolled down her cheeks, and she drew a shaky breath, wiping her mouth on her sleeve.

Her eyes finally opened, staring blankly at the soldier.

He looked back into her eyes, something akin to the pain he felt when his handlers hit him after doing something wrong shot through his chest.

"You're weak."

"Gee thanks." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes and pushing his hand off. Grabbing onto the dumpster beside them, she hauled herself to her feet.
