"So, go through the plan one more time?" Bucky asked in a tone hushed enough that only she could hear it. He was already sure of what they planned to do but wanted to make sure the woman beside him was certain of her role in their escape.

Aurora nodded, desperately fighting the urge to roll her eyes at his lack of trust in her ability to understand a plan. However, the last thing she wanted was more bickering so she formulated a reply while keeping her gaze fixed in front, trying to move her lips as little as possible in case anyone was listening. 

"To begin, you're going to break us out of the cuffs. After that, I'm going to explode the lock, that will give us a minute or two before a signal is set off to run as far as we can. The first agent we see, we kill and grab a gun. Once we have that, we fight our way out and just keep running until we find a car to hotwire or something." Rory stated in a volume just above a whisper. 

Bucky nodded, satisfied that she knew what she had to do. "Perfect," he lied. Truthfully, it wasn't a perfect plan by any stretch of anyone's imagination but it was all they had. They had nothing on them other than their own respective enhancements, so they had to work with what they had.

"The only question is when?" Rory asked, looking over at Bucky. Both of them had been sitting long enough that they felt numb and lethargic, both of them felt weak and hungry but they knew they had no choice except to act soon or stay long enough to find out what HYDRA truly had planned for them.

Bucky thought about her question for a moment or two before responding. Her question was a good one, when was the right time to stage their great escape?

"Well, we could just go now. For all we know, it could be the middle of the night and there could be nobody here." the brunette super soldier suggested.

Rory nodded in agreement for a brief moment before shaking her head slightly. "No, regardless of when we leave there's probably guards everywhere, our best bet would be to bust out just after someone next leaves the room. So far, everyone has been armed. We can get out just before that person gets too far" she stated, checking once again to make sure no cameras were watching them - there weren't.

Bucky's lips formed into a line, she was right (even if he'd never admit it) so he nodded simply "Okay. That's the plan then." he said plainly, keeping a close eye on the door for when their chance would come.

A few hours passed, but neither of them knew how many. Aurora had begun to count the seconds in her head, thinking that if she did that then the time would somehow go faster and she could simply will someone into coming to check on them. However, this just made her more tired than she already was so she stopped when she felt her eyelids fluttering shut.

Rory decided to turn to Bucky whose leg was twitching slightly. His right hand was clenched and his stare was blank. Admittedly, the captivity was getting to both of them in separate ways. Aurora hated it because she wasn't used to it and Bucky hated it because he was too used to it.

Pursing her lips, Aurora opened her mouth to engage in some small talk when the lock began to whir and shortly after, the heavy door was pulled open. This time, a new person came in. This man was dressed in all black aside from the white doctor's coat he was wearing. His features were covered by the surgical mask he was wearing, but he had stern eyebrows and neat black hair. His heavy boots strode over to the man on the hospital bed as he did some regular checks, such as blood pressure, and ignored Bucky and Aurora completely.

Bucky came to when the door opened, silently scanning the man to see if he had a sidearm or any type of gun on his person. The thick white fabric of the doctor's coat concealed it, but as he turned he caught a glimpse of a glock-17 tucked nearly into a holster on the man's right side. Everything was going as they had hoped.
