Wanted || A Bucky Barnes Fanfiction (English Version)

Chapter 11

POV Bucky

After the conversation with Tony, I needed some time to give my growing anger some space.
So I did what I would do most of the time and went down to the training room.
I was already battering the third punching bag like a madman until it too gave away and flew across the room to the wall.
I was just about to hang the fourth punching bag on the chains when Banner appeared in the room.
"Never seen you up here.", I stated, exhaling angry breaths.
He didn't acknowledged my banter.
„What do you need, Bruce?"
My irritation grew again, so it came out way meaner than I intended to, but who am I? Definitely not someone in control of their tamper.
"You have to come with me. Like, right now.", he urged and I chuckled.
„And why is that?"
„Because It's about Y/N,"
Horrified, I left everything behind, the punching bag only half secured, slamming onto the floor and followed him out the door.

They elevator took forever to get from the bottom to the top, but I used that time to let him explain whats going on.
"You did fucking what?!" I asked through gritted teeth, stunned that especially him would ignore direct orders, risking her safety.
"Have you completely lost your mind, Bruce?" I continued agitated.
"She wanted to know. We can't just keep patronizing her!", he almost yelled at me.
„You of all people should know that better than anyone, Buck,"
I hated that he was right. Sooner or later I probably would have done the same thing, telling her what happened. He just did it before I had the chance to.
And it wouldn't help her or us if we treated her like some child.
She had to set her own pace and everyone knew it wouldn't be easy.

When the elevator finally came to a stop, I ran out onto the landing pad and looked around frantically for her when I saw her sitting on the edge of the building.
I approached her slowly and made myself known so as not to jumpscare her.
"What do you want, Barnes?" she asked, looking straight ahead over the city.
I sat down next to her and looked at her in silence.
"Did Banner send you?" she asked, still looking straight ahead.
"Yes. He told me what happened in the lab. How are you?" I asked her cautiously.
Laughing sarcastically, she snorted and shook her head.
„I'm doing soo good, Barnes," her voice was dripping sarcastically, but she finally looked me in the face.
"I just found out that, given my age, I should already be a grandmother. And the cherry on top is, that I can't remember shit about the person I am or was. I only remember the terrible things I did and the people I killed, but otherwise I'm doing really well," she continued in the same sarcastic tone.
"You weren't yourself, Y/N. You didn't want to do those things," I replied soothingly.
"Oh yeah? How do you know that, Barnes?" she said coldly.
Her gaze swung back to her cold facade as she said this, allowing no insight into her inner self.
I would have loved to hit myself for my next sentence, but before I could think about it any further, I was already talking.
„Because I know exactly what you're struggling with."
She looked at me confused and didn't quite know what I meant.
I struggled with myself and didn't know how to formulate my answer without giving too much away.
After all, my escape was the trigger for her fate at Hydra.
I didn't want to risk driving her away from me again, but I had no choice.
„I'm the Winter Soldier," I said, unable to look her in the eyes.
She was silent for a while, but when she grabbed her head and screamed in pain, I reacted as if in a trance.
I grabbed her and pulled her away from the abyss.
„Get away from me!" she screamed at me, but I only moved aside when Banner pushed himself between us.
I stood to the side and watched Banner as he carefully laid her on the ground.
She laid there, unconscious and completely calm.
"Get Tony. I know what these attacks are now. They are her memories!" he shouted to me and unsure I ran off to get Stark.

POV Y/N

"I have big plans for you, теневой паук," Malick said to me.
"This is going to hurt," he said as two guards tied me to the well-known electric chair and pushed the mouthguard into my mouth.
"Thank your colleague the Winter Soldier," he continued, before motioning to one of the doctors to begin.
Within a few seconds, thousands of electric shocks ran through my body over and over again.
I screamed in agony and pain, but tried to keep a clear head.

The procedure came to an end eventually, leaving me burned out when Malick approached me again.
This time with his red notebook in his hands.

„антипатия. жирный. двадцать три. полночь. презрение. Семь. обиженный. возвращаться. три. последователь.", he spoke slowly and clearly.

Every single word caused pain and I fought against the brainwashing.
I didn't want to hurt anyone else, but I was too weak and gave in.
"теневой паук,, your target is the Winter Soldier. Take him out, but leave him alive. Bring him back here. Here's the file," he told me my order, dropping the file in my lap and left the room.

I put on my suit and my face mask, which covered half of my face, and grabbed my equipment and the file.
I leafed through it, taking in every piece of information, when something dawned on me.
I was only doing this because he had escaped.
The rising anger in me only fueled me and I reached for my weapons with determination to begin my mission.

I opened my eyes wide and looked straight into Banner and Stark's faces. They looked down at me worriedly and with a light push I pushed them away from me so I could sit up.
„What did you see, Y/N?" Stark asked curiously.
I ignored him and searched the roof with my eyes until I found what I was looking for.
I jumped up quickly, but Stark grabbed my arm.
„What is happening?" he asked suspiciously.
I tore myself away from him and ran straight towards Barnes.
„This is all your fault!" I yelled at him and before he could react, I punched him in the face.
He looked at me in shock but didn't move.
Just as I was about to hit him again, Banner and Stark held me back.
„You ran away and made me their number one object, Barnes," I spat at him, Tony and Bruce still holding me tight so I couldn't barge at him again.
„It wasn't like that, Y/N. Steve and Sam had captured me and brought me back! Just like they brought you back," he answered, full of guilt and pain.
I shook their hands of me in defeat.
I just needed to leave this fucking roof and get my mind straight.
Tony looked bewildered at me, not knowing what I'm about to do.
"I should prepare for the mission tomorrow, shouldn't I?"
With that they let me go, staying back with Barnes on the roof.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y., tell Steve I'll be waiting for him in the training room," I ordered, looking at Barnes again before the elevator doors closed. ————————————————————————
