The Girl of my Dreams (romanogers)

Part 18

Steve

I was in a cell, all alone, with just a small hole in the wall that allowed some light and a exhaust fan.
I didn't know for sure who was I and why I was here, I felt as if I was trapped outside my mind, as if my mind was a large glass room, of which I stood outside. But I was so helpless, that I couldn't break that glass.
My masters told me a few things and ordered me to do some stuff.
I was ordered to molest my wife, hurt her feelings, and I didn't have a choice, whatever they said I had to obey. But that incidence haunted me, I couldn't forget the sadness on her face, and the feeling of her soft skin.

I closed my eyes and tried to penetrate the glass of my mind, I had to break through, I tried hard, focussed, and fell asleep.
I saw a dream, a girl stood behind a glass window, crying, mouthing something, and I was in another chamber, looking at her through a small opening.
She was familiar, I could recognize her, I tried to read her lips.
'ss... ee.. v'
I woke up panting. She was the same girl, the one masters called my wife, the one whom I tried to hurt. Her tears pierced my heart, like they did that day. Why was she crying in my dream? What was she saying?

"She'll be here soon" I heard one of my master say.

"Good! " the other said, "go get her".

They were trying to bring her here? But why? They were very bad, they would hurt her, what if they do what they did to me?! No!!! But what I could do? Nothing, I was a puppet, my body didn't obey me, it obeyed them.
I closed my eyes again and tried to break my mind that was imprisoned.

Natasha

Steve mentioned hydra, that meant people associated with hydra took him, so I had to trace hydra now.
I took out the list of all hydra members we knew or suspected and located them, someone or the other must know.
Andrew Weston, he had gone missing after hydra's fall, and some people spotted him in New York. I took my car keys, dressed up in my costume and stepped out to reach the location he was last seen.

This was my fight, I would fight it alone, I would find my husband and rescue him from their clutches.

I parked my car and moved out, but as soon as I closed the door, a cloth was brought to my nose and I fainted.

____________

I woke up, in... I was shocked, I was back, in... the red room.

"Welcome back Natalia" I heard a familiar voice, my heart sank, as he came into view.

"James? " My voice was broken, this couldn't be true.

"So you remember me Natalia" he said bitterly.

"James, you.. how do you remember me? You were back to normal James" Or we thought so..

"I'm normal now Natalia, what have I heard, you got married?" he spoke slowly.

"James, let me go, I have to rescue him, he's in danger" I begged.

"He is in his rightful place, you belong here Natalia, you belong with us" he grabbed my chin, I realized my hands were tied and so were my legs.

"I belong to him! " I yell.

"You are mine Natalia, what happened? You loved me, don't you remember! " he left my chin and shouted.

"It wasn't love James, it was just Stockholm syndrome, James he is your friend, don't do this to him" My heart broke further, Steve would break completely, his own best friend did this to him.

"You don't love him either, do you" he said

"I do! " I said confidently, "I love my husband, I love him a lot, more then I have ever loved anyone" I shouted.
He kicked a chair in anger.

"I don't know who he is or what happened to him, Natalia, you are in.. " but before he could complete his sentence, the door opened, and someone entered.

"Is she fine? " he asked.

"Yes" Bucky replied.

"Master wishes to see her" he told him

Who was their master?

"She isn't well, uh, let her heal" He lied.

"But you said.. master wants to see her now, he won't wait" the guy insisted.

"No, she can't now" was he actually protecting me? "Just a few hours more

"Fine" the guy left.

"Natalia, please understand, they are dangerous, they tried to erase my memories too just like your husband, but they don't know that I remember you, they wanted me to hurt you and your husband, but I can't hurt you Natalia, so let's escape" he begged me

"I won't leave without my husband, I won't" I protested.

"Natalia! What is wrong with you? You loved me.. " his face turned red.

"I didn't, it was just an affection, I love my husband, I love Steve Rogers" I said. His face changed colors at Steve's name..

"This name... " he held his head.

"He is your childhood friend James" I tried to remind him.

"Forget him, we need to escape! " He untied my hands and feet and pulled me up.

I protested, nudging him hard in the stomach and kicking him, I ran away.

There were many people who welcomed me there. I fought them one by one, kicking punching, James came behind me, he fought them too, but tried to grab me.

He was busy fighting the guys and I found a way to run, I ran fast out of their way, when I saw something and stopped dead.

"Going somewhere sweetheart? " he said with a smirk.

"Bruce? " I couldn't believe my eyes.

"He is trying to protect her master" a guy brought James to him.

"Master? " I was shocked.

"Throw him in the dungeons with his friend, he is of no use to us" Bruce said cruelly. They dragged Bucky away.

"Natasha, my darling, you are now all mine" I was shaken beyond beliefs. Bruce Banner had kidnapped his own Captain, to reach me.
