Hidden in the Dark

Chapter One

A/N: In honor of the birthday boy, Sargent James "Bucky" Barnes I decided to go ahead and post the first chapter of my new story. I hope you all enjoy this sneak peak!

(Y/N)'S POV

I awoke in a strange room, not remembering how I got here. There was a man infront of me. I reached for the knife attached to my thigh before he began speaking to me. "Shhh its alright fraulein. My name is Baron Helmet Zemo and you're alright now." Said Zemo. "Where are we?" I asked.

"Hydra moved you to Serbia." Said Zemo as I cautiously stepped out of the cryo chamber. I glanced around at all of the other cryo chambers. Each man and woman Hydra also experimented on were dead. Bullet through the head. "Why am I the only one alive?" I asked Zemo as I gripped my knife a little tighter. "I am not sure fraulein but I know one thing, I will protect you." Zemo promised. "I can protect myself." I said through clinched teeth.

"Whats your name?" Asked Zemo as he stared at my metal arm. " Sargent (Y/N) Rogers. Of the 107th Infantry Regiment." I stated. "Roger's as in-." I cut Zemo off. "Yes, i'm the star spangled man with a plan's older sister." I stated rolling my eyes. I hated how they used my brother as a circus monkey. He wanted to fight in the war, not be used as a dancing monkey putting on shows for the troops. I watched as Zemo carefully observe me. "May I ask fraulein what happened to you?" Asked Zemo.

I took a breath of air before I began telling him my story. "Im not sure if they ever mentioned my brother in the history books, but my brother and I grew up in Brooklyn. My brother was a scrawny kid growing up but he never backed down from a fight. Which is why myself and his best friend James "Bucky" Barnes stepped in to handle the fights. Well, Bucky and I got drafted into the war. We were both assigned to be in the 107th. The Howling Commandos as we called it. The Howling Commandos were all captured by Hydra. Bucky and I both got separated from the rest of the 107th. They experimented on us but we didn't know at the time we were given super soldier serum. Well we were strapped to the tables in a separate room from the rest of the Howling Commandos, Bucky and I both just kept repeating our name and rank to each other as well as memories we both shared. It was a way to keep our minds sane. Steve saved everyone and brought us back across the enemy line. We- we were supposed to stop the train that Zola was on. One of the Hydra soldiers tried to kill us once we got on the train. The blast from their gun would have killed us if Steve hadn't saved us with the vibranium shield. The blast rickashaded off of the shield and hit the side of the train car blasting a hole into the side of it. It also knocked Steve to the ground. Bucky grabbed the shield well trying to fire upon the Hydra soldier. I fired at the Hydra soldier well trying to get over to my brother. The Hydra soldier blasted Bucky. Bucky blocked the blast with the shield but that caused Bucky to fly backwards out the hole in the side of the train car. Bucky held onto one of the two metal bars well I climbed out to try to bring him back inside the train. Steve killed the Hydra soldier before coming out to help me. When I made it to Bucky's hand and grabbed it, the bar he was holding onto began to break off. As it broke off I held onto Bucky as tight as I could but my hand began to slip off the other bar I was holding onto. Steve begged me to grab his hand but it was too late. Bucky and I fell from the train three hundred feet to the ground. We thought we were dead but somehow we survived. But, Bucky's left arm was badly injured and my right arm was badly injured. Hydra found us and gave us these metal arms. Once Hydra had us, they controlled our minds. When we began remembering anything they would wipe our minds clean. They trained us to be killers just by using a few words. I was able to break out of their control but inorder to keep myself and Bucky alive, I had to play dumb." I finished as I felt warm tears falling down my cheeks. Zemo wiped the tears from my eyes. "Dont cry fraulein. You're safe now." Zemo said placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.

Zemo's POV

5 minutes before

I plan on killing every super soldier I can find in this abandoned Hydra facility in Serbia. That was until my eyes landed on her. The one that reminded me so much of the winter soldier. She looked so peaceful in the cryo chamber. 'No Zemo focus.' I thought to myself.
