THE PHANTOM ๏ BUCKY BARNES

Dead Men Float

You couldn't do anything as you stared at the blood bath in front of you.  Your eyes were widened at the sight.

Your breath hitched as you felt as if you were being chocked as you stared at what was before you.

Tears instantly filled your eyes as you couldn't tear your eyes away from the remains of Nathan.

Nathan was sitting in a chair, with bandages covering his two legs. He was crying, looking at them.

Below his knees, there was nothing but air.

"What....did you do." You saod slowly in a low voice.

"I said I would fix him."

You let out small laugh. As you tore your eyes away from Nathan, you looked to the bastard before you.

"I'm going to kill you." You said calmly.
The man just scoffed and laughed as he turned his head away.

You charged at him, tackling him to the ground. You started to beat him, over and over again. His blood, staining your hands.
You got a few good punches in before three guards pulled you back.

You didn't stop there. You started to beat up the guards as well, hitting them and kicking them away. Of course, they showed you no mercy either, but they had weapons.

Eventually they threw you far into the cell and slammed the door, bot uttering a word to you.

"Face me you coward!" You screamed, banging on the door. "Heartless monsters!"

You breathed in and out deeply, the smell of iron and rotting fish filling your senses. Nathan was still in the room.
You closed your eyes shut, getting rid of the tears as you turned around at Nathan.

"Daisy..." His voice broke. "I'm sorry-"

"No." You cut him off. "Do not apologise to me. You have nothing to be sorry for, I'm sorry."

Nathan wiped his teary eyes, looking up to you with everything he had. "Why are you sorry?"

Your lip quivered. Why was it so hard trying not to cry?
"I let this happen." You pulled him in a hug. "I thought thwy would you with your cold, I'm so sorry Nathan. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Nathan voice was so small.

"Who did it?" You said firmly, brushing the hair out of his face and holding it and staring into his baby browns.

"What?"

"The person who...did this." Your eye twitched as you thought about it, you swallowed to grt rid of the ringing in your ears.

"Um...he had fire hair." Nathan said, looking down to his legs. You pulled his head back up, edging him to go on. "He had a funny accent, like the weather-lady."

Italian man with ginger hair.

"He had a birthmark over his eyebrow." Nathan lazily placed his poniter finger on his eyebrow.

You nodded, shortly and rapidly. "Okay, that's okay." You smiled at him as you kissed his forehead. "It will all be okay, I swear, everythibg will be okay."

You saw a ginger haired man with a birth mark the next day. You didn't waste a second to attack him.
You ran at him without any forgiveness in you. You expected for some guards to hold you back, but they just watched as you punch this pathetic man.

His nose was bleeding like a water fall and his eyes have swollen. He had stopped turning to push you away and his arms juat fell to his side, limp.
You found a crowbar nearby and before you could stop yourself, you had started to hit the man with it.
Your vision was red.

With one last hit that dented his forehead, you kicked yourself off the man. Standing back up and holding the bloody crowbar in your hands that were stained.

You panted as you stared at the man woth no regret in your eyes. His chest wasn't moving and his black swollen eyes weren't closing.
You had killed that man. And if it came to it, you would do it again.

A clap emmited from behind you. You moved your eyes first, then your head.

"Ahaha...well done." Fengi. "Spectaular."

Your full body was facing him this time, shaking with rage. You squeezed the crowbar a little tighter and raised it ever so slightly that you could attack Fengi when you needed to.

"That was amazing." Fengi gave a chuckle as he stopped in front of you, peering down at the dead man with a smile. "Hmmm, execclent."

Fengi looked back up at you. "What are you standing there for? You're late."

Fengi turned his back and you took the chance to lunge at him with the crowbar. You didn't get far, as voth guards run at you, eletrocuting you without a second thought.
As you fried on the floor, Fengi just sighed, shook his head and turned to you.

"You should know, you won't be able to kill many people here. And you ahould know you will never be abls to lay a finger on me." Fengi pointed at you. "I thought you would understand, but no."

They dragged you back to the chair, with you fighting along the way. You didn't see Nathan again for a few hours since they wanted to do more than one test. You were sweating and shaking like hell when they threw you back in the room.

Nathan was asleep and you weren't going to wake him. You crawled up close to him and looked doen to his legs. It got hard to breath as you looked at his legs.
They took them away. He wasn't going to walk by himself ever again. You saw red again when you looked at them.

Nathan was only a child and they do this to him. It was a sickening thought. It only made you pissed at yourself that you believed what they told you.
