                I woke up. I couldn't tell where I was and I didn't remember anything that happened. I got up "OWW!", I looked at where the pain was coming from. It was my side. How did that get there?  And what are these things doing? Why am I connected to monitors and a bag?  I tried walking but my side hurt too much that I was barely moving.

"Hey, hey, hey, take it easy, doll," a sleepy raspy voice said behind me. 

 I could tell who it was right away. It was Bucky because he was the only one with a raspy voice like that in the compound and the only one that called me a doll. He got up from the chair he was sitting at, picked me up bridal style, and laid me back on the bed that I got up from.

"I never said that I hated you but you're hurt and I want to help. Let's put a pause on our little prank wars, k?"

"Okay. I'm thirsty. Can I get some water?"

"Yeah, here," Bucky said, turning to the nightstand that had a cup of water just sitting there.

"Need anything else, doll?" he asked.
