they sold you out to hydra. but little did they know, they had been tricked by one of their own. too little too late, or can they get you back before you're too far gone?
"Let me go!" you shouted, fighting against Thor's strong hold on you. Shit, you'd forgotten how strong he was. The last time he'd held you this tight, it was when he first came to earth after and forgotten that human "I didn't do anything!"
Bucky stepped into your frame of vision, eyes narrowing as he looked at the cuffs on your wrists. You dared to let out a sigh of relief, thinking he might let you go. Tell Thor and the others they were making a huge mistake. That you hadn't done...whatever they thought you'd done.
Wait. What had they thought you'd done?
"You can't lie to us. Not anymore."
"Is this about me blaming Thor for taking the last poptart? Okay, okay, that was a low blow, sure, since he doesn't even eat poptarts that much but, c'mon, it was funny—"
"Stop it."
You froze, stopping your struggling. "Is that not...What do you think I've done?"
You swallowed hard, afraid of what he might say. They were scaring you. This...Why were they doing this? They were supposed to be focusing on recovering Nat, who'd been taken by Hydra. Why were they playing this game? What did they...Was there something they knew that you didn't?
"We know what you've done."
"I haven't done anything," you insisted. Bucky wouldn't look you in the eyes. Why wouldn't he look you in the eyes? "Bucky, please you have to believe me! Whatever you think I've done, I haven't—"
SMACK!
Your head jerked to the side, blood filling your mouth at the force he hit you. He...hit you. Bucky hit you. Your Bucky hit you.
"I'm not going to believe your lies anymore. Not when you work for them." He shook his head, looking away. "I can't believe I thought I loved you."
"You...don't love me?"
"How could I ever love someone like you?"
Your heart sank. That...No, he couldn't mean that. He loved you. He did. This was just some cruel joke. A prank, to lighten the mood because of Nat's kidnapping. Yes, that was it. It...wasn't funny. But if it meant the others could have a moment to enjoy themselves before dedicating their time to finding Nat again...You would forgive them. You understood.
"I love you, Bucky, even if you don't love me," you said. And, though you shouldn't have, you meant it. You didn't know it would be the last time you would ever get to say it to him.
He looked to Thor, nodding his head. "Take her out."

Everything ached when you woke up. Your head was pounding. The lights were too bright. There was a faint buzzing in the air. Your nerves felt like they were on fire, like you had been burned from the inside out. You couldn't move...What? Why couldn't you move? You tugged weakly at your wrists, the cold metal and leather wrapped around them holding you in place. What the fuck was going on?
