"I DON'T THINK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE."

Valerie chuckled, tossing Bucky's file on the chair.

"I guess you can tell time in there?"

"It's not hard to figure out," He shrugged. "You come in here every morning with the entourage. You return after I eat lunch. You coming alone has to mean they're sleeping."

"Pretty smart for a brainwashed guy,"

"I couldn't sleep at all last night."

She clicked her pen. "Why is that?"

"Couldn't figure out where the fuck I had seen your stupid ass cardigan before,"

"The red one?"

"I'd say it's maroon."

"Sure,"

"But yeah, that one."

Goosebumps scattered across her forearms as she felt her insides churning.

"I've worn it for you before," She stated.

"And the other stuff?"

She blinked, gulping as she recalled the black skirt and stockings. "Yep."

He scoffed. "Now I know why you came alone,"

"I want you to feel like you can talk to me. I know that can be tough knowing you have an audience."

"I don't have anything to talk to you about."

"I want to do this session a bit differently. I would like you to ask questions this time,"

He blinked. "What if I don't want to?"

"You've been in a cell for the better part of a week and a half. I'm sure you've got some questions."

He thought for a moment. "Where am I?"

"Ooh, that's an off-limits one."

He laughed humorlessly. "Didn't know there were rules,"

"If you won't tell me where you came from, why would I tell you where you are? I thought you were a super soldier."

"Judging by the almost-healed bruises on your neck, I think you know I'm a super soldier."

Her heart rate quickened. "Still sorry for them?"

"I don't know." He sat next to the glass. "Thought I was asking questions,"

"Go ahead."

"Do you live here?"

She hesitated. "I do,"

"Do the others live here?"

"Yes."

"Do I live here?"

"You did," She replied. "Next to me,"

"Is that how we know each other?"

She swallowed. "Among other reasons, yes."

"Other reasons?"

"I'm the team doctor. You were seeing me for quite some time,"

"Why?"
