The Assassin Shadow - Bucky Barnes

Chapter 6

Since I'm up, papa is asking me many questions concerning my powers and my superforce.

"When you use your powers, is it like if you're turning a switch or like your brain says; power go! How does it work?"

"I don't know how to explain, papa. It just happens. I mean I can perfectly control it but it just does what it has to do. It's hard to explain." I try my best to respond.

We stand up as we hear someone coming. Pierce opens the cell door and walks in.

"Soldier, I have a mission for you. Shadow, you rest here for this one." He says. "Kill Nicholas Fury. No Witnesses."

My dad simply nod and I sit back down.

"Good, now let's go."

The chief disappears with my father and normally I'm alone like every time papa goes on missions. That's when the guards don't force me to train like today. I don't know how long I have been training but I need to drink or I'll faint. So I decided to try and sneak out. I should have thought the guards would see me.

"Остановись! Куда, по-твоему, ты идешь?"

(Stop right there! Where do you think you're going?)

"I'm thirsty! If I don't drink I won't have good training."

"По-русски!"

(In russian!")

"Я должен выпить! Если я не выпью, я умру!"

(I have to drink! If I don't, I'll die!)

I say, angry.

"Нет, ты знаешь правила. Ты не выйдешь из комнаты, пока не пройдешь шестичасовое обучение. Вы прошли только четыре. Возвращайся!"

(No, you know the rules. You don't leave the room until you've had six hours of training. You've only passed four. Go back!)

I reluctantly went back to training and completed the 6 hours. I'm weak and I have a big headache. They only gave me a single little glass of water. My dad probably came back while I was passed out because I was dehydrated. Once I fully came back to my senses, I felt someone stroking my hair. I thought it was my dad until I opened my eyes to find Pierce in front of me.

"Hello Shadow, we had to wait for you to wake up so that we could erase some bad memories. Are you ready?"

"The only bad memories I have are from Hydra!" I hiss at him.

"We'll see if you still say the same thing after our little experience. Doc, you can start the process."

My arms, waist and legs are attached to the chair. Above me, a machine starts up and moves towards my head. I already know it's going to hurt a lot. The moment that thing met my head, my whole body is filled with pain. I can't hold back my screams and tears. The machine that electrocutes me makes me feel empty. I feel like a big part of me is being taken away and there is nothing I can do about it. Then everything stops. No more pain or electrocution. Just emptiness.

"Ассасин?"

(Assassin?)

"готовность к выполнению."

(Ready to comply.)

"Go back to your father and tell him that you guys have a mission then come here with him."

"Yes, sir."

Some guards take me to my cell and stay in the frame door behind me. My dad looks like he has cried.
