Thats My Girl

"Y/n, what would you like to do today darling?" Abraham asked you sweetly, it had been a couple months since you were left here with him, but he has been very patient and kind with you. There have been times where you had been upset about being so far away from home, and even complained that you were stuck here with him. Of course it wasn't directed towards him, it was because you've felt so alone since coming here. He knew this and did all that he could to try and make you comfortable till Thor came back for you to bring you home.

"Can I watch you work on your experiments?" You became interested in his work, how everything was so natural for him. Curiosity got the best of you and you needed answers as to what he was creating. You were interested in one experiment in particular, a serum he was making, and hoped he would show and explain it to you. As luck would have it, that was exactly what he planned to do.

"Come with me sweetheart, I want to show you what I can only hope will be my greatest experiment yet." He said with a sweet smile while holding out his hand for you to take. Through the eyes of any other eight year old, this would be boring, but you were not just any other child. Walking into his lab you saw a chalk board with many theories and equations written over it, papers scattered throughout the tables, and in a glass case, you saw a vile with liquid in it.

"Is that the serum!?" You asked excitedly. He looked down at you and laughed at your excitement, you hoped he would test it out on something, he must have read your mind. He reached for a plant and put on some gloves and goggles and directed you to do the same.

"This serum will amplify everything inside, the plant will become stronger, it will be able to stay alive through more changes. I could freeze this plant in ice and it would not die. Would you like to see?" He asked you, looking almost as excited as yourself. He added a drop of the serum to the plant and the both of you watched as the plant began to change, it began to grow. Your eyes grew wide with wonder, Abraham poured some nitrogen gas on the plant in order to freeze it, as the plant froze you noticed that nothing about it was changing, the leaves dos not break off and shrivel up like plants would during fall, you were amazed to say the least. "It works, wouldn't you say so?" You looked up at him with a huge smile and and nodded. He laughed at your excitement. "Come on y/n, let's go make some lunch." Life wouldn't be too bad, not as long as you had Abraham with you.

You didn't want to wake up from your dream of the one person you dared to call family, but the tossing and turning next to you was hard to ignore. Opening your eyes you looked to your left and noticed that Bucky couldn't sit still and was sweating and mumbling something you couldn't quite understand in his sleep. It was the middle of the night and the cell was freezing, the only reason for him to break into a sweat was because of a nightmare, you couldn't begin to imagine the ones he was having. You lightly shook him while saying his name, and his eyes shot open as he gasped for air. You waited a moment for him to remember where he was before even beginning to ask him anything.

"Sorry kid, I didn't mean to wake you." He said, still breathing heavy. You reached for his jacket to wipe some of the sweat off of his face while he continued to catch his breath.

"What was is about, the nightmare?" You asked him while still focusing on wiping the moisture from his face. He looked at you with sad eyes and grabbed your hands and ran his thumbs over the tops of them, it seemed to calm himself as well as you. He looked into your eyes for a minute and let out a heavy sigh before answering.

"It was about Steve. He got rid of Shmidt, but it coast him his life, he had to crash the jet he was in." He paused for a moment, it seemed like he was searching he mind "It seems like something that punk would do, he always wanted to be a hero." He sighed once again and leaned back against the wall to cool off. "I don't think he'll be coming for us anytime soon doll, we're on our own, but we can do this right?"

You pulled your hands back as you started to shake a bit at his question. Your last escape attempt was halted by Shmidt himself. He decided to give you whatever torture and abuse came to mind in order to finally set you straight, since his guards didn't seem to be doing the job the way he would have deemed necessary. Weeks and weeks of never ending torture, day in and day out until you were just about to take your last breath, only to be brought back again by none other than Shmidt himself, so that you would still have to feel all the pain and agony he caused until he finally felt you learned your lesson. Ever since then, you've been good. You've stayed quiet and followed orders, and you haven't tried to escape in about a year. You were terrified to think about what might happen to you if the attempt failed once again.

Bucky looked at you curiously, almost as if he was trying to read what was going on in that little mind of yours. He used his left hand to grab your right one and used his flesh hand to take your chin and gently lift your head up to look at him. "Come on doll, I know you're scared. Hell I'm scared too, but we're never gonna get out of this place unless we work together okay? We don't have to try tonight, we need a plan first. It'll take awhile, but we can do it. No one is going to hurt you anymore, not if I have anything to do about it". He really did mean every word, it was his personal goal to get the two of you out of Hydra's hands before they could do anymore damage to either of you. He also saw it as his job to protect you, you've already lost so much, he wasn't about to let you lose yourself as well. "What do you say kid? Are you in this with me?"

You searched his eyes for any sign of doubt or lies and found nothing but truth and courage, if anyone could get hurt out of here, it would be Bucky. You knew at that moment you could finally call someone here a friend. "Bucky, I'm with you." You replied with a small smirk, which he gave in return.

"Till the end of the line, alright?"

"Till the end of the line." You replied without any hesitation.

He now had a genuine smile that was contagious enough to speed to you as well. "That's my girl."
