James Buchanan Barnes: The Chronicles (Complete)

Hail Hydra

Bucky awakens to find his precious wife gone for the morning, he sees a note on the empty space next to him on the bed.  It reads, "Good morning, Bucky.  I hope you slept well, I made you some breakfast, it's on the stove in the kitchen.  I was called into work early this morning for an emergency surgery.  I'll be gone for most of the day, the hospital is in need of my direct assistance.  I should be home this evening around 7pm or so.  Love you, be safe!  -J. Barnes."  Bucky folds the note and puts it in his drawer and get's dressed and goes to the kitchen to see the food Jane prepared for him.

"Good morning, Buck!"  Steve patted him on the shoulder.  "I heard Jane leaving this morning."

"She had this emergency surgery, and then she said she will be home later than usual."  Bucky frowned a bit, "I guess that's the drawback of being married to a hero.  They're not only needed by you, but by many."

Steve laughs and grabs some coffee.  "Jane sure is a hero, she saves lives constantly."  Bucky smiles.  "But she never forgets about how much you need her, Buck."

Hours pass, its around 5pm and then an alert shows on their screen.  Tony comes into the common room and brings up the news live and it shows the hospital in downtown New York has been taken hostage, by a gang of 25, armed.  "Cap, look at this."  Steve rushes over with Bucky and Clint.

"Where is the hospital?" Sam asked.

"Downtown."  Stark unknowingly shouted.

Bucky rushed to the screen, "What hospital?!"

Stark zoomed in, "Oh shit...it's Drummond."  Bucky's heart sank.

"We need to go now!"  Bucky and the rest of the Avengers suited up and got ready to storm the hospital.

"Trevor?  The alarms are going off like crazy!  Did you turn on the safety precautions?"

"Yes, Doc.  We need to get the employees to safety now, the patients are completely safe."  Trevor goes to the halls and makes an announcement over the sound system.  "EMPLOYEES YOU ARE RELEASED FOR THE DAY, GO HOME IMMEDIATELY."  Trevor ran back to the main office where Jane was.

"Come here.  We're safe in here."  Jane dragged Trevor in and attempted to barricade the door, but an armed man rushed in and shoved them to the ground.

"Which one of you is Dr. Drummond?"  A masked man with a rifle pointed towards them.  Trevor tried to take the name, but Jane spoke before Trevor could attempt.

"I'm the one you're looking for.  What do you want me for?"  Jane sternly asked.

The man with the rifle aimed at her, "What I want is-"  The man flew forward onto the ground.  Bucky kicked him in the back and rounded about him grabbing Jane while Steve grabbed Trevor. 

"Are you hurt?"  Bucky held Jane close while turning her head to check for wounds of any kind. 

"No, Bucky dear, I'm fine." Jane smiled and kissed Bucky on his lips.

"Now, what do you want with my wife?"  Bucky wrapped his right arm around Jane aimed his hand gun at the man,  frightened the man scrambled to take off his mask.

"Please...I need her great skills."  The man pleaded and dropped his rifle.

Jane grabbed Bucky's hand.  "What do you need my skills for?"

"My boy."  The man began crying.  "He is just a boy, only 13 and needs a heart replacement surgery.  The insurance I have won't cover it...I need it...he'll die!"  The man was on his knees.  "I know I threatened your life Doctor, but please help my boy!"
