You had woken back up a few hours ago, you were once again alone in the dark. Bucky had left after he had fed you a few spoonfuls of the mash and you had then asked for no more, he had spoken for a little while after that before robotic sounding voice had interrupted saying " sergeant Barns, Director Fury is requesting to speak with you", Bucky then got up apologised for haveting to leave but said it was getting late anyway and that you should probably try to get some sleep.

That was hours ago, eventually you had fallen asleep, however you only managed to sleep for less then an hour before your body had attempted to suddenly sit up in protest to the dream you were having, it was about the man from what you had remembered before, after that you didn't want to sleep again it didn't matter how exhausted you felt, it was around 4:18 A.M, the only thing that you could do was wait. Wait untill something happened, wait for purpose.

Some time later the light in the room started to turn on, slowly engulfing the room in a bright light enough to make your eyes burn in slight discomfort to the sudden change in brightness.

Moments after the light had been turned on, just as your eyes were adjusting the faint sound of someone typing in the code could be heared before the door then opened, you looked up half expecting it to be Bucky or at least someone you had seen, however you were met with the sight of a woman in nurses scrubs carrying in a bowl with a plastic spoon in it.

Shutting the door and then walking quite swiftly towards the bed that you were still bound too, she raised the spoon to your mouth whilst looking straight up at you with a blank expression.

' Seriously these people want to help me but can't even introduced themselves'
You almost let out a small sarcastic laugh at the thought that past your mind

The woman clenched her jaw and her expression changed from nothing to inpatient and angry

' she can't honestly think I'm just going to suddenly open my mouth for her, she might shove the spoon down my throat in attempt to kill me, or the food could be tampered with'

The woman let out a angered breath before speaking with such unnecessary attitude

"Eat it"
She said it through her teeth and it came out as more of a hiss

You moved you eyes from the spoon she held to make eye contact with her in a way that showed her you could be stubborn too, in all honesty you weren't quite sure why or how you were acting like this

" I said Eat it "

To your own surprise you refused, holding your ground she then turned, left the bowl and spoon on the small set of draws that were fairly close to you that for obvious reasons you still couldn't reach due to your restraints, The women then exited the room in surrender to you

That ment you won this altercation. You sat there silently for a while, still smug for not follwing the demands of the women with no manors, the bowl of food still sat mocking you, knowing that you did in fact need food, in the past you had gone days at a time with little to no food however you would much rather have food available to you than go through that when not needed.

After sitting with your thoughts for a while longer the door was opened once again, and without even looking up you muttered out the word "No"

Expecting to be met with either silence or some kind of remark from the same or different nurse you were mildly surprised to be met with the sound of Bucky's voice as he sat in the chair to the side of you again

" No?, I haven't even said anything yet"
His voice had a hint of humour to it but you could tell he was quite confused to what you were talking about

You decided to stay silent and not look at him, you weren't really in the mood for this more so than normal.

" You didn't eat your breakfast?"

"No"

" Why didn't you?"

You chose not to respond at all

" you know your going to end up with a feeding tube again, that will be a lot more unpleasant when your awake"

Bucky had tried to mask his worry with a joking tone however he failed and his consern was obvious

" theres going to be another meeting later, the bored want to discuss you with fury "

You chose not to speak once more, it felt like it would cost you too much energy

" Red, I need to know everything you remember, all of it if your Co-operative the more they might be willing to help you"

You said nothing and then you heard the sound of Bucky getting up and leaving, once you looked up you found yourself correct, Bucky had indeed left, he also had taken the bowl of the untouched food with him, was this some kind of punishment, to be left by yourself without food, or did he need to go.

You thoughts were then interrupted by the door opening suddenly, in walking Bucky with a bottle of water and a bowl, he placed it where the other bowl had previously sat but instead of then sitting back on the chair he walked straight to the side of the bed

" I'm trusting you, don't break it"

Thats when you felt the restraints being undone, part of you was telling you to stay still the other was telling you that you needed to kill him but as a whole you wanted to wait, to see what he was doing, to see what he wanted.

Once you were free he sat back on the seat whilst you decided to sit up on the bed, you ached you'd been stuck laying down for god knows how long, your muscles felt weak and tired as if they were oblivious to the amount of rest they had reasently had. The silence only lasted a few minutes before Bucky decided to speak

"I would appreciate it if you would be willing to attempt to have some food and water"

You nodded your head in agreement, he had just unbound you to be fair, marks on your wrists as evidence of it being uncomfortable.

Bucky unsecured the lid of the bottle as he past it to you slowly, watching you, arms still weak from their lack of use over the past few months almost struggled to keep the bottle steady, it's weight wasn't a problem at all as it was light but apparently your ability to hold things at a levelled angle was affected by the long rest

Bucky noticed this straight away, before he had even fully let go of the bottle, he swiftly stood up to get closer to the bed to assist you with holding the water, he stayed quiet whilst he helped support the bottle bringing the bottle to your lips allowing you to drink it, once you had had enough he placed the bottle down and put the lid back on it, he then sat back down and chose not to mention your lack of ability to drink without aid.

" what do you remember, its okay if you cant remember it all just what do you remember?"

"About what"

"Anything, your dreams, Hydra, where you were between missions, anything you remember from before hydra"

You tried to think before speaking. Tried to find some kind of memory in your mind that you could grasp and be able to form into words, but instead all you could feel was some kind of emotion or lack of emotion, like the little of you that you had left was draining, like it was being replaced with something else, range, anger, violence, as if it was life or death, like he was a threat to you.

'Kill'

Suddenly you dived at Bucky, causing him to fall back to the floor, wrapping your hands around his neck in attempt to kill him, the room started flashing red with loud sirens and a robotic voice repeating something, you couldn't focus on sounds, Bucky was trying to say something to you, to door had suddenly flung open and people dreast in all black with helmets and riot shields were storming in, then something metal hit you in the side of the head

And you were surrounded by the darkness again
