3rd Person:

"No! Get away!" Bucky screamed at the Hydra soldiers trying to wipe his memory. "Steve! Help!" Bucky called praying Steve would help him but nothing changed. "Haven't I already told you soldier? This little thing is stupid! You're almost 100 act like an adult!" The man yells slapping Bucky across the face making him whimper. "Buck it's not real! It's ok." Steve said, it didn't help as the man kept on beating him. "NO! STOP! GET OFF ME!" Bucky cried as he struggled against the restraints. "Shh. Buck it's alright it's not real. You're fine." Bucky could barely here Steve's voice through the amount of struggling he was doing in his head.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes to see Steve leant over him. He didn't register that it was Steve so he pushed him off and ran out of the room heading for the den he built last week. It was his safe space. Steve followed him. Bucky dove into the den and grabbed the stuffie he left there cuddling it tight as he cried.

Steve's POV:

I ran after Bucky trying to get him to stop running but he didn't. I saw him enter his den he made, I smiled a little realising he was little and most likely terrified after his nightmare. "Buck?" I asked softly poking my head through the hole in the den. "Can I join you Buddy?" I asked gently calling him a nickname I call him when he's little. Bucky thought for a moment before nodding slightly. I joined him in the den crouching beside him he cuddled up against my side. "What's wrong bud?" I said gently beginning to rub his back. He didn't respond verbally just pointed to his metal arm. "What about your arm Bud?" I asked confused, he seemed to get frustrated. "Hurt." He said annoyed. "Your arm hurts?" I ask, Bucky says his arm never hurts anymore so this confused me. "Tey hurt mwe!" He said pointing to his arm again. I realised what he meant after a while. "Oh! You remembered the bad people hurting your arm?" I asked one final time praying I had understood. He smiled a little and nodded. "Oh, come here Buddy. Daddy protect you!" I said pulling Bucky into my lap. He giggled and clung onto me.
