THE MOMENT SHEsaw him, she felt her heart plummet.
Owen slyly looked at Cynthia, sitting in her cell, and Cynthia narrowed her eyes. Reaching between the bars, Owen grabbed Cynthia's arm, slamming her against the bars.
Cynthia's eyes opened, and she shot up like a bullet in her bed. Covered in cold sweat, Cynthia took some deep breaths, attempting to calm herself and her nerves. "Cynthia?" Beck's voice echoed in the half-empty corridor.
"It was just a nightmare," Was all Cynthia replied, laying back down in her bed. "It was just a nightmare."

Bucky took a gasp of air to fill his lungs.
His mouth was dry, and he coughed. The first thing he noticed was how white the room was. Then he noticed Steve, sitting in a chair, right next to his bed. "Morning, sleeping beauty," Steve said, making Bucky grin, and Steve handed a glass of water to him. Bucky was still missing his left arm, but his head felt better. More clear, less surrounded with thoughts.
"So . . . Is everything HYDRA put in me . . . gone?" Bucky asked after he gulped down half the glass of water. Steve nodded, replying, "The doctors got you out and then instantly started working away on you. But you're cured. You're . . . Better."
Bucky nodded, and the first thought that crossed his mind, was, I can't wait to tell Cynthia.
"Oh, you also have a visitor from S.H.I.E.L.D., who was extremely persistent on seeing you. An . . . Agent Millie Johnston?" Steve asked, and Bucky's grin got bigger, and he said, "Send her in, please."
"Who is she, though?" Steve asked as he got up from his seat.
"An old friend of mine," Was all Bucky replied as Steve left the room. The widow on the left side of the room was bright, the sky filled with clouds, hinting at the chance of rain. When the door opened up again, Millie pushed past Steve forcefully and ran over to Bucky.
"Dear lord, you're okay," Millie breathed. "I was so worried, as was Maisie and Jamie."
"How are they, by the way?" Bucky asked, and Millie smiled, sitting on his bed, saying, "Good. Upset that Cynthia's managed to get herself into jail again, but good. Jamie's thinking about proposing to Rylee, and Maisie's just found herself single."
"Cynthia's in jail?" Bucky's eyebrows furrowed, and Millie sighed, and replied, "I don't know what happened, really, her letter to Jamie was very vague, just mentioning that she was in jail, and she'll get out soon, as long as you woke up."
