Winters War Phase 3: Some Kind of Monster

Part 27

Sam suddenly sat up and started massaging Julia's heart again.

"We won't lose you this time," he said to a still unconscious Julia.

Bucky took her bare hand in his and felt her powers slightly. He was relieved to see this other sign she's alive.

"Steve, I need your help!" he called out to his best friend.

Steve went over to his friend.

"We are the strongest. Take her hand," Bucky said.

"I think..."

"Don't worry. Her powers aren't so powerful yet."

Steve took off a glove and held her other hand. Peter joined them when he took off the top part of his suit.

"Let me help. I can take it."

Steve nodded in acceptance because he saw during the airport battle in Germany how strong the teenage boy was. Peter took her bare wrist. The three of them allowed her to take their energy. Jemma saw the bruises disappear slowly.

"She's healing," she noticed with a smile.

Bucky felt Julia's hand slightly moving. He smiled in relief as she began waking up slowly. After a while Peter's Spidey-sense went off.

"Guys, we have to release her," Peter warned. "Now!" he called out and let her go.

For Sam, Steve and Bucky it was too late. An explosion of her powers blast them away. Steve hit the medical devices, while Bucky and Sam hit the wall on the other side of the QuinJet. At the same time, Julia sat up quickly with an immense inhale. Eyes widened and breathing heavily without a hoarse sound in her respiratory.
Everybody in the aircraft was silenced and amazed to see Julia back to life.

"The Walking Dead has returned," Tony whispered to himself in disbelief.

Bucky and Sam looked at her from a distance after they got back on their feet. They were relieved to see her back to life.

"We did it," Sam slightly cheered as he patted Bucky's shoulder.

"Yeah," Bucky replied with a smile.

Julia looked around, confused. Next to her she saw Steve crawling up.

"Steve?"

Her voice was soft and filled with confusion.
Steve took a relieved breath. Glad to see her alive.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm fine," he reassured. Gently he laid a hand on her shoulder. "You'll be fine too."

Peter, Steve and Wanda gave Julia the space to catch her breath. Only Jemma stayed by her side.

"Julia, take calm breaths," Jemma advised as Julia was still breathing rapidly.

Julia took her head in her hands and squeezed her eyes closed.

"I remember too much."

"What do you remember?"

"I'm hurting Sam, I'm hurting Bucky. I'm hurting so many people," Julia groaned in misery as she summed up what she remembered. "The Sir and Madame. They are hurting me. Torturing."

Daisy joined Jemma and laid her hands on the teen's shoulders.

"Julia, open your eyes and look at me."

Julia groaned in agony and grasped her head tighter.

"Sam and Bucky are fine, sweetheart," Daisy calmed her and laid Julia's head on her chest. "You didn't hurt anyone. You don't have to be sorry for anything."
