Winters Torture

Part 25

Chapter 25

"Bucky!" a voice echoed through the hallway, "Bucky!"

He heard it again. He got out of bed without noticing Emma was gone.

"Bucky!"

"What is going on?" He flung open the door and saw Emma standing there covered in blood from head to toe. "Sweetheart. Wha- What happened?"

"They found me, James. They found me."

Bucky sat up in his bed hyperventilating as he realized it was only a nightmare. He looked over at Emma who was sound asleep and didn't even realize he had woken. He quietly slipped out of bed and stepped out onto the balcony.

He took in the night air settled over the compound.

"Babe. What's going on?"

Emma's voice gently reached his ear. He spun around to see her standing there in nothing but his t-shirt that hit her mid-thigh.

"I'm sorry, Doll. Did I wake you?"

"No. Maybe? I'm not sure what woke me. I had a weird dream."

"You want to talk about it?"

She walked over to him and leaned against his six-foot frame, "It didn't last long. I remember being covered in blood. I was trying to get back to the compound. I feel like Hydra had something to do with it. I made it into the compound and to our bedroom, but I couldn't get in. I kept knocking on the door over and over, but no one answered."

Bucky straightened up and looked at her. He describes his own dream that woke him up, "Emma. Is it possible that we can have the same dreams?"

She started to laugh because she thought he was joking and then saw how serious he was, "Oh. I don't know. I guess I should ask Wanda."

Bucky stroked her hair and kissed her lips softly, "There was something about the dream. I didn't feel like it was something that happened to us already. It was more like the dream was going to happen."

Emma stared up into his eyes, her body was still as she started to think, "We," she waved a hand between them, "like as in super soldiers, can't predict the future. Right?"

"I don't think so."

"What time is it?"

"A little after 2am."

Emma turned and walked back into the bedroom. She started grabbing her clothes and got dressed without saying a word to Bucky. She walked out of the room and straight to the elevator. Bucky rushed to put his clothes on and follow her. She was just about to step on when Bucky caught up with her.

"Where are we going?"

Emma turned and looked at him, "You should stay here."

The doors opened and Emma stepped in, "Don't Bucky. Stay here."

He put his hand on the open door to keep it from closing, "Emma. Where are you going?"

"To talk to Wanda."

"It's 2am, Sweetheart. It can wait till the morning."

"Bucky. Either go back to the room and stay there like I asked or come. Either way, I'm going to see Wanda."

"Fuck." He stepped in the elevator with her and didn't say a word.

Emma wasted no time getting to Wanda's room and knocked with a hard impact. The door flew open right away to a distraught Wanda. Not because you woke her, she was already pacing her room, waiting to see if you would come to her.
