"Oh fuck. Bucky?" Tony's surprise quickly turns to anger towards the doctor. "What the hell did you do to him?"
"I'd be more worried about what he's going to do to you." The man replies smugly.
Bucky takes a few steps closer and says something in Russian.
"Barnes, I'm your friend. They're messing with your mind, okay?" The genius says breathlessly.
"He is not your friend. He killed your parents. You tried to kill him."
"No. That wasn't him and I didn't know that, it's not your fault, Bucky. You were brainwashed and I was an idiot to blame you."
"I'm going to leave him here to do what he wants, and hopefully when I come back you'll still be alive and we can talk some more." The doctor replies smugly as he turns towards the door, "Goodbye, Mr. Stark."
"Go fuck yourself." Tony huffs angrily, leaning forward to try and intimidate him.
But it doesn't bother the man, he simply smirks and closes the door.
"Bucky. Bucky. Stop. Listen to me." He says calmly, trying to diffuse the situation at hand, but the soldier continues to walk towards him.
"Bucky. I know you. This is not you. They're screwing with you. Okay?" Tony continues to ramble as Bucky leans down so his face is just inches away from his.
It goes quiet, and the expression on Barnes' face changes immediately. He speaks quietly.
"I have to do this."
"No. No. You don't. You- Just-" Tony's cut off as Bucky grabs his throat and pushes him against the wall.
"Shh, Tony. Please, just listen." His eyes are sincere and pleading with him silently. "The words in the book, they think they still work. They brought me here three days ago, and I've been pretending ever since."
"But-"
Bucky tightens his grip so that Tony can't continue. "Don't talk. They're listening." He whispers, "If they find out, they'll kill us both. We need to work together here."
He loosens his grip, and he glances slightly to the top corner of the room, where a camera points directly at them.
"I'm gonna- I'm gonna hit you, sorry, okay? Pretend it hurts more than it does." Before Tony has a chance to process, the side of his head hits the wall as Bucky slaps him with his normal arm.
"We need them to come back in the room." Bucky shifts his weight to the left so that he's blocking Tony from the camera.
"How do we get them to do that?" He asks in a whisper.
"I don't know. I'll have to- I, we have to get out of here."
"Punch me. Hard."
"No. No. I..." Bucky whispers, as his breathing gets quicker.
"Do it, Bucky. Do it. Hit me, I'll fake passing out and maybe they'll come back in here." Tony nods, aware of the fact that they're watching him through the camera.
"Okay. Okay. Please don't go unconscious."
"Yeah, I'll try." Tony says, keeping his face still and unbothered.
And straight after he replies, his head swings back from the force of the punch. His nose is bleeding but he needs to play the part, he keeps his eyes closed and his head lolled to the side. He can't tell what happens in the next few moments, he can hear Bucky walk towards the door, awaiting instructions from HYDRA.
He hears the door click, and then an annoyed voice. "Barnes, we need to keep him alive, if you've killed him..."
"No, he's breathing." Another voice says, it sounds as though he's moving closer to Tony. The door closes.
"Soldier, when he wakes up you will, and I repeat, will torture him. Under-" The second man is shut up as a thud echoes throughout the room. Tony opens his eyes to see that one of the men has been thrown to the floor. And he watches as Bucky punches the other and he falls, immediately subdued.
"The cuffs- Get them-" Tony says as Bucky comes over to him and rips them from the wall with ease.
"Thanks, we gotta go. Let's go." He says, taking the soldier's hand and letting himself be helped to his feet.
"Sorry I hit you." Bucky mutters, opening the door and leading him through the endless corridors.
"Forget about it." Tony replies, following him at a fast pace. They eventually end up at a fire escape and push the door, and despite the alarm that goes off, the two continue to sprint across the grass. They reach a large gate, but they both climb it easily. After about ten minutes of running through a large wooded area, they reach a clearing with a small shop.
"Stop. We're okay." Tony gasps, clutching his side.
"Are you alright?" Bucky asks, completely unaffected by all the running they had done.
"Yeah, unfortunately I'm not a super soldier." He laughs breathlessly.
Bucky sits down, looking to his hands and sighing.
"What's wrong? We did it." Tony asks him, "What's the matter?"
"If- If I hadn't have been able to control myself... I would've killed you."
"No. That's not true. It's- That wouldn't have been your fault. Let's just be glad that you're stronger than that."
"Jesus, Tony, I would've tortured you to death." He shakes his head sadly. "It would've been on me."
"Barnes, listen to me, you saved my life by being there. They were going to kill me either way, I'm lucky that you were there." Tony explains, moving beside him and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let's go home."
Bucky nods and stands up.They were back in the tower within an hour, they had used a cell phone borrowed from the shop owner. The building that HYDRA had been in was evacuated and everyone in there was arrested. A few got away, but there were always people left over. The good thing is, the two of them got out of there alive.
