Taken [Bucky Barnes]

Ch8: The Siren Strikes Back

*This is after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, listen to song while reading- repeat if youre not finished by the time its over or just listen to another song *

There she lay at the bottom of her tank knowing what was to come. She had killed a doctor not long ago by controlling her blood movement, stopping it completely until she passed.

They knew it was her because of the signature markings that would always come on her skin when she'd use her abilities.

So they immediately put her back in the large tank, herself afraid of what was to come. She swore to herself that as long as she was in her right mind she would never control anyone else's blood.

She didn't have to wait much longer for soon the water in her large tank was draining, she sank to the bottom and waited for it to finish.

Soon it was all gone and she was left at the bottom gasping as she curled herself up. She hadn't been out of water in quite a while.

Soon soldier came in grabbing her and dragged her off to a room. She recognized this room, the torture chamber. Whenever she did something wrong or failed a mission she would be sent to this room.

They chained her wrists up till they left her body a few inches off the ground.

She could faintly hear a song coming from the old record player that could control her, luckily it wasnt playing the song.

They left her in the room after they turned the heat up to about 127 degrees Fahrenheit.

Her body would adapt to the environment but heated temperatures were the worst and most painful. With colder temperatures she had no problem, hence the titanic and all...

But that's a different story for a different day.

A couple of hours passed and she was left without a tail now, just legs. She was naked except for the piece of waterproof clothing covering her chest.

She saw some shorts off in the distance on the floor and wanted nothing more than to cover herself. The Doctors didnt need to see her in all of her glory.

Speaking of Doctors, in come three with about five soldiers. Most probably know what is to come of this situation...

~

After an hour of procedures aka torture she killed them. There she stays, hanging with blood on her face and her body from their procedures. The stench of bodies would have been overwhelming but she had no sense of smell so that wasnt a bother.

Soon all she hears from the outside is crashes screams and gunshots from outside the doors, she closes her eyes and waits for the impending doom to come to herself. The siren.

After saving Steve from drowning, the winter soldier known as bucky came to look for the alluring woman of water.

He spent weeks looking for her location until he finally found it in a secluded location in the country of Italy. He did what he had to do to save her which was kill. It was either that or let her suffer and he couldn't have the latter.

As he took out soldiers and doctors left and right he stopped at the last door that was radiating with heat.

~

He looked into the room, bodies littered the hallway behind him. He found her in a heated room with a muzzle type thing on her mouth. Her eyes were closed as she was chained to the ceiling, she was elevated by her wrists as she hung limply. She opened her eyes only to close them once more. Shaking her head as he wasnt her mission.

The only thing she could feel was the blood running down her face from the doctors "testing" their equipment on her.

He quickly ran to her and broke the chains, catching her in time before she fell. He held her in his arms as he tried to take off her muzzle. She shook her head weakly but Bucky didn't listen, he took it off and threw it to the ground.

"I won't let them hurt you ever again..." He said as he cradled her body, this was the first time he had seen her with legs so he covered up her parts with an old jacket and some small shorts he found lying around.

"Y-you don't know me." Sarah whispered as she trembled, she didnt even know who she was.

"...Maybe not now, but I will make sure I do." He said as he brought her closer to his chest. The words seemed to roll off his tongue when he was around her, like he had never been wiped so many times before.

These weren't words that the winter soldier would ever use.

She cringed as her body begged for some kind of moisture or coolness. He just put his metal arm around her back so it'd touch her skin.

"I don't want to be in that room anymore." She whispered as she tried to not use her voice as her thoughts were clouding and her consciousness was fading. She hadn't used her voice in a long time.

"I'll get rid of the people that want to enslave you, even if it takes me a thousand lifetimes." He said running towards the exit quickly noticing her dehydration.

"W-why?" She asked again in a whisper confused.

"Because I remember you somehow, so from somewhere deep in me, my head is saying.... I-I'm with you till the end of the line." He cooed with tears in his eyes as he got an emotional memory back.

"I dont know you." She whispered in pain as her head throbbed. Her body was so used to being in water and alone that she had almost forgotten what the caring touch of a human was like, one that wasn't hurting or violating her.

"I think you were the first to say that to me... Hey stay awake for me." He said shaking her as he saw her begin to doze off.

As she tried to stay awake she hid her face in his neck, the light to her was blinding and she could hardly stay awake.

"I swear to it, they'll never take you away ever again. I'll make sure of it." He whispered to her form that was in and out of consciousness.

"B- But I killed them all... I'm a monster... A villain... S- stop... stop..." Sarah whispered with tears in her eyes as a flashback hit her.

At this he stayed silent for a bit before speaking in a gentle voice,

"What you and the world don't realize is that a villain is only a victim whose story hasn't been told. And you are anything but a monster." At these words he finally opened the doors to lead them outside.

The last thing she recalled before she plunged into darkness was the feeling of bliss knowing she was free.
