THE CELL DOOR CLANGED OPEN WITH A jarring noise, startling Bucky from his restless thoughts. He stood up quickly, his eyes narrowing as he saw the HYDRA agents dragging Seven into the room. Something was different about her, but in the dim light, he couldn't immediately pinpoint what it was.

As they roughly shoved Seven forward, Bucky's eyes widened in surprise and confusion. Her blonde hair, the distinctive feature that had always set her apart, was now a rich, dark brown. The transformation was striking, making her look almost like a different person, yet somehow more like him than ever before.

Seven stumbled into the cell, catching herself just before she fell. She looked up at Bucky, her blue eyes wide and scared. Bucky rushed to her, his hands immediately going to her shoulders to steady her.

"Sev, what did they do to you?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

Seven looked up at him. "They made my hair different, Papa," she said, her voice small and trembling. "They said I needed to look different."

He gently brushed a lock of her newly dark hair away from her face, marveling at how much it changed her appearance. "You look... you look so much like me now," he murmured, a mix of wonder and sadness in his voice.

"Do you really think so?"

Bucky nodded, a small, tender smile forming on his lips. "Yes, Sev. You look just like me."

She glanced around the cell until her eyes landed on the small, cracked mirror in the corner. She walked over to it.

As Seven stood in front of the mirror, she reached up to touch her hair, her fingers gently combing through the dark strands. Her reflection stared back at her, a mix of familiarity and strangeness. She tilted her head, trying to see herself the way Bucky did.

"I really do look like you," she said softly, her voice filled with a mix of awe and sadness. "I always wanted to look like you, Papa."

Bucky's heart swelled. He knelt beside her. "You've always looked like me, Sev. The hair color doesn't change that."

Seven ran her hand through her dark brown hair. It was now past her shoulders, down her back. "I think I like it, Papa."

"MISSION TIME," one of the agents barked, tossing a small duffel bag at Bucky's feet. "Get ready."

Bucky's heart sank, the familiar dread settling in his chest. He glanced at Seven, her wide blue eyes reflecting his own apprehension. "Come on, Sev," he said softly, picking up the duffel bag. "Let's get you suited up."

Seven nodded, her small hand gripping his as they walked to the corner of the cell. Bucky unzipped the bag, revealing a dark, tactical outfit for Seven and his usual mission attire. As they dressed in silence, Bucky's mind raced with the details of the mission brief he'd been given earlier. It was another high-stakes infiltration, but this time, Seven would be playing a crucial role.

The agents escorted them through the labyrinthine halls of the HYDRA facility, finally leading them to a large hangar where a sleek black helicopter awaited. Bucky helped Seven climb aboard, then settled in beside her, his mind already shifting into mission mode. As the helicopter lifted off, the roar of the rotors almost drowned out any chance for conversation, leaving Bucky to his thoughts and the gnawing worry for Seven's safety.
