IK ITS BEEN AWHILE BUT NEW CHAP CUTIES

somewhere in 2004

"ZERO! ZERO!" Zero heard little six scream out. Both Seven and One came running over, their panicked gazes not meeting until they actually made it to where they heard the screaming.

"Six! What is it!" Zero said making a full stop along with One.

"It's Seven, she's walking." Six said her smile bright as she sat criss cross behind a standing Seven.

Both Zero and One breathed out, happy she was okay. "Wow Six, that's amazing." One said, picking up Seven. "But we really have to get you to bed, according to the time teller, it's late."

One watched as Zero picked up Six, assumingely bringing her to her bed, which was really barley a bed anymore. HYDRA was too heartless to give them more then four beds, they stopped when five was born. They were small so it's not like they couldn't share.

Seven's blonde hair has just started sprouting, she was cute. One picked up Seven while Zero picked up Six, usually Six and Seven slept together. As Zero pulled the blanket up to Six and Seven, Six spoke. "How do you know if it's later or not?" Six asked.

Zero smiled. "My mom told me that the bigger the number is, the later it is. It's eleven right now and the clock only goes up to twelve so it much be super late." She answered.

"Where's your mom right now?" Six asked.

Zero cleared her throat. She smiled, not a real one, but she smiled. "I don't know, but she's gonna come get us soon." Zero explained.

Six smiled. "She will? She'll take us away and we can live together?"

Zero nodded. "Hush now, go to sleep, love."

SEVEN BARLEY REMEMBERED HER OLD
family. She remembered their names just not their faces. The way Zero would hold her, the way One would brush her hair out of her face, the way Six would play with her. Their faces were something she couldn't find, something so sacred.

Soldat came back with not even a scratch. Seven on the other hand couldn't say the same. The guards always got bored, they room Seven's hearing aids then got mad at her when she couldn't hear them. Seven was beginning to miss her old cell, where no one even acknowledged her existence.

Soldat was walked back to his cell, there were two guards standing outside his door as always. The guard stopped him and shoved Seven's hearing aids to his chest. For some reason Soldat knew they hurt her.

Bucky made a gruff noise as he rushed back into the cell to see Seven. She wasn't that bad but she had a couple not bruises and a bloody nose. A cut had also made its way onto her pale face.

When she saw Soldat she ran to him, wrapping her arms around his legs. "Papa..."

Bucky didn't know how to react necessarily. He patted her a couple of times then kneeled down so he could see her face. Seven looked just like him just blonde. Her eyes were a piercing blue and her lips curved the way his did.

He tucked her blonde hair behind her ears and placed her hearing aids back in her ears that had dried blood around them from them tugging her hearing aids out.

"Oh, Sev." He said, gently stroking her cheek.

She sniffled. "Ouch." She said.

Bucky felt a surge of anger, his muscles tensing as he looked at the blood dried around Seven's ears. He swallowed hard, trying to calm himself. It wasn't Seven's fault, and he didn't want to scare her with his rage.
