My little shadow (Bucky Barnes)

20

I let feelings get the best of me. I let the thin veil of shadows swallow me. I take a deep breath and smile. I'm free.

Quick steps. I enjoy a few more seconds and then I open my eyes again. I feel threads of shadows dripping from my black eyes, like tears. I'm a shadow. I look out to see the blond man. I smile at him. And then I disappear.

I transport myself with the shadows behind him. Now nothing can stop me anymore. I kick him in the back and then the shadows carry me in front of him. I create a ball of shadows and throw it at him. The blond crashes into the elevator and breaks through its doors. And he falls into the void.

My footsteps echo as I search for the one thing that still keeps me anchored to this place. Winter.

The guards are weak. Just crush them against the wall and they're all dead already.

"Vinter?"

His eyes widen when he sees me. He's never seen me like this. Because I never was. Hydra always kept me like a bomb. Always ready to explode.

I let the shadows enter Winter's cell and blow it up from the inside. Winter easily breaks free of the restraints and follows me without hesitation.

We walk next to each other, our hands touch and I feel calm even though I'm more alert than ever. I know we'll have to fight, but maybe this time I can really let loose. As we enter a larger room, I become blinded by the sunlight. I didn't remember it being that strong. A second later Winter extends his metal arm towards me. Someone shot me. I give a quick nod and get to work. There are ten guards and I knock out five of them by kicking the ground and creating a hole under them. They fall a few floors and I turn to the other five guards.
