Brooklyn - Bucky X OC Love Story

24 - Longing

** A/N **
I googled the trigger words in Russian. If the translations are wrong, we're just gonna pretend they're not cause I don't know Russian 😂 But y'all know what the words are supposed to be.

Also, again. I warned you guys last chapter that my Wattpad has been screwy with this story. If my chapters are out of order or something is wrong PLEASE let me know.

"Okay, explain this to me again?" Steve demanded. Himself, Sam, Shuri, Emilia, Bucky as well as half of The Dora Milaje were out in a field together. Shuri wanted to test Emilia's ability to control Bucky.

"We are testing if your friend is right, that she can control him. If she can, he doesn't go into cryo and she stays with us." Shuri explained.

"And if she's wrong? He'll kill us all!" Sam yelled.

"I'm not wrong, and if I was we'd only tell him to kill you." Emilia said with a shrug of her shoulders. Sam glared at her, Steve and Bucky both let out quick laughs.

Bucky looked at Emilia panicked, if she couldn't control him, he didn't know how he'd get himself back. But there was also nobody he trusted more than Emilia. "You know this will work?" He asked, his eyes still fixated on Emilia. She gave him a nod and a reassuring smile to go with it. "Let's do it." He said.

"Buck. You're kidding, right?" Steve asked, almost pleading for Bucky to talk some sense into Emilia. Purposely saying the words seemed like such a ridiculous idea, and reckless. If she could control him, great. But if not? He'd be forced to fight Bucky himself, something he wasn't exactly happy about.

"I trust my wife. More than anything or anyone else. Just don't let me hurt her. Kill me if you have to, just don't let me hurt Em." Bucky almost begged.

"We won't let you hurt anyone." Ayo, one of the guards, promised.

"You're okay, I promise." Emilia reassured him. "Trust me." She said a little quieter.

Bucky sighed, but smiled at his wife. "I do." He promised. He shifted his focus to Shuri, nodding at her to do what needed to be done.

Shuri let out a deep sigh before she began. "Желание" She called out.

Bucky tensed, stepping back from everyone. He wanted to distance himself from Emilia, in case she was wrong.

Shuri looked up at Bucky for approval before continuing. He nodded. "Ржавый" She said.

Bucky clenched his jaw, his hand balling into a fist.

Shuri didn't hesitate this time. "Семнадцать"

Bucky took a few breaths, already feeling himself slip away. He was trying to fight it, but it was as if his brain was slipping away from him. Everything but the words sounded like he was under water. He didn't even feel the comfortable breeze around them, he couldn't smell the ocean anymore or Emilia's perfume as the wind blew through her hair. Everything faded into the background.

"Рассвет" Shuri called out.

"Печь" Shuri said with no hesitation.

Bucky dropped to his knees. Emilia stepped to go to him, but Steve kept his grip on her arm, pulling her back to him. He put his finger to his lips to tell her not to talk, in case her voice disrupted all of this.

"Девять" Shuri said next.

It felt like knives digging into Bucky's brain, his life slipping away. His personality disappearing, like it was close enough to see but he couldn't reach himself. He felt stuck in place, only a scream letting him know that he was still him, for now.
