Next day
Cadence's POV
I didn't even wake up properly, and I was yet again dragged along the floor to someplace unknown to me. They strapped me to a metal chair and scientists circled me as the HYDRA leader came. "I know very well you are used to this feeling, being tied to a chair scared for your life. Yes, I know about the fact you received a death penalty and the fact that the execution didn't go as planned. I also know about the failed attempts at removing Carnage from you." he paused. "But I'm not going to kill you, at least not yet." he clicked his tongue. "We will run some tests and experiments and then maybe we will train you to be our soldier." The leader turned to me at last. "I will never work for you!" I snapped at him. "Oh but you will, and you know very well we can make that happen." he pointed to a scary looking machine. A metal chair with straps and beside it were monitors for vital functions and at the head of the chair were two metallic plates which were used for electric shocks— oh no, that's the brainwashing machine they used for Bucky. I can't let the same happen to me, I don't want to lose my memories!

They first placed me in some creepy white room, it was empty, there were only some loudspeakers in the upper corners. Then they turned on some sounds. First few seconds I felt nothing but when the sounds got louder and louder, my body started aching. I think the speakers reached the maximum volume when I couldn't stop screaming from the agony,I fell to my knees, covering my ears but nothing helped, I felt like my skin is going to burst. When it finally stopped, I just laid there, unmoving, waiting for them to drag me out again. Before they finally threw me back to my cell they did so many horrible things I rather not talk about. But I refused to lose my sanity here, I might not recover from this...if I ever get out.

I try to count the number of days I'm here but with all the experiments it's so hard

I try to count the number of days I'm here but with all the experiments it's so hard. So every day I just draw one line on the wall like a real prisoner. And with days passing I start to lose hope of ever getting out. I might consider asking them to end me finally so this can finally stop. I know they surely know of a way to kill me, they just don't want to lose this chance of a good agent. Fuck this place.

Day 14
First they drew some blood from me and then they started injecting me with some weird colored serums. The first one, a white serum wasn't much bad, it made me a little dizzy though. When they saw that it did nothing, they injected another one, a red one. That one stung like hell. I felt like I swallowed some acid. I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my stomach and my temperature raised. But they still didn't have enough. They then injected me with some green serum that sent such a strong headache that my head started pounding. I heard high pitched sounds in my ears that I probably went deaf for 2 minutes. When they saw the reaction, they injected me with the white one again and I went numb. Suddenly nothing hurt anymore, just the weird dizziness which made me lightheaded. After I calmed down, they made me swallow some blue liquid which kinda looked like the AdBlue for cars. This serum made me forcefully transform which scared the scientists so they injected the white one again so I was back a human. But the last one was the biggest torture, a yellow one. When they injected it to me, my muscles went into seizures and spasms it felt like epilepsy fit. It made my heart beat so fast until it stopped completely. Unfortunately, they brought defibrillators and made it beat again. I don't remember the rest of that day.

Day 32
Injections and serums are not on my daily agenda anymore, they try to infect me with various viruses and diseases, but I seem to be resistant to most of them. They tried plague, Coronavirus, HIV, some cancer cells that could infect me, but Carnage healed me from them within a day. When they infected me with rabies, those were harder days for me. Fever, salivating, untamed hunger, aggression...but even that, Carnage healed me in 4 days. They also now throw me into rings to fight wild animals, like they're nuts! Once I fight a boar, next time a wolf, today I fought a bear and because of my weakened state almost died! I love animals and I hate killing them, but I always remind myself that I do this for my survival.

Day 48
Without the lines on the wall I wouldn't know what's happening. They started using the brainwashing machine on me 3 days ago. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing it doesn't work. Probably because of Carnage. I mean I'm happy I hadn't lost my memories, but I have to live with the fact that I remember the pain, I remember every. Single. Time. They use it on me. They are desperately trying to break me and I'm thinking of giving in.

Day 56
"Kill me, just kill me already!" I shouted at him. "Please, I can't anymore..." my rage turned into tears. They use the brainwashing machine on me multiple times a day and it just hurts so so much. Maybe if I pretend that it works they will stop. But it's just so hard at this point, I don't know how much more can I survive...

Meanwhile at Avengers...
Bucky's POV
I was in the gym when Steve emerged from the door and called for a group meeting. "I have news." he started as a way of greeting. "Our trackers located another HYDRA base and they asked us if we can strike, dispose of them and save hostages if there are any. So I agreed, but it is up to all of you whether you join me or not." Steve placed his hands on the table. "Where?" Sam asked quickly. "Belgium." Steve answered. "Oh a trip to Europe, might as well pay a visit to Cade when we are finished." Clint drawled. "I think she wishes not to be disturbed." Bruce added in. "I'm in." said Sam. "Yeah, me too." Clint shouted from minibar. "Anything to get rid of those bastards." said Nat with gritted teeth. "I take that as a yes." continued Steve. "I'm coming as well." Tony joined in. "Alright, I'm going too." I stood from my seat. "You don't have to Buck, I know it was traumatizing for you so." Steve started but I cut him short. "I know, but I want to. I need to learn to get over it. And this is probably the best way, to face it." I looked him in the eye. "Alright then, suit up." he said to everyone, and we were getting ready to depart.
