"You can't be serious."

Bruce held the ice pack to his head, wincing at the cold. "They outnumbered us in strengh, and in numbers. We weren't prepared at all." I watched silently as James interrogated and tended to the team. They were all bruised and battered, and there were barely signs of them putting up a fight. "We're better off. She's gone, now I don't have to do it myself."

"What the hell happened to you? You were practically in love with her when she first got here, Stark." 

"I guess I saw the real her." My eyes widened when his flashed with red. 

"Who the hell are you." Natasha stood infront of me, and I stood behind her, my fear becoming irrelevant. "Well, I'd like to say I'm your worst nightmare, but then again, only one of you really has nightmares. Isn't that right?" Tony-or whoever this guy was, looked to Bucky, who stood behind him, confusion a clear look on his face. "You wake up screaming, and poor ol' Steve has to come running, coddling you to convinced safety. While everyone else stays up an extra hour, thanking god and their upbringing that they didn't have to go through what you did. It's sad really."

Bucky looked to the rest of the team, and their silence confirmed Tony's words. "You're weak." He pushed Bucky back, and it took him so little effort to shatter the glass and send Bucky flying. 

"Well. Since the soldier isn't as strong as I'd anticipated, let me introduce myself. I'm the new head of Hydra, and it looks like I'll be the last head you'll ever meet."


It took hours for Bucky to come to, and I guess he was just making up for lack of sleep. But when he woke up, he was erratic, angry even. For not realising that something was wrong Tony, and not staying home yesterday morning. It's like he blames himself for her being taken. 

"I do blame myself. Because I knew something was wrong. I had the worst feeling, and then she gets taken. I could've done something." He easily slammed the bed through two glass doors. "James, you need to stop this! While you're destroying things she's probably being reprogrammed." He charged towards me, and when I refused to move he stopped. "I'm sorry."

"You're worried. It's fine. Everything in here is replaceable." 

"What do we do?"

"We start looking."


"We know that there is a Hydra branch in Siberia, Where the Winter Soldier project started. Correct?" I nodded, looking at the picture I'd found of me and Y/N in the 40's. Howard was in this one too. "James."

"Yeah?" 

"Focus."

"Aren't all these files still online?" Steve questioned, and Banner nodded. "Of course. That's perfect."

Bruce pulled the map of all the branches up onto a bigger screen, and my eyes widened. I had no idea there were so many. There were at least two hundred red dots on the board, and one big Hydra sign in Germany. Of course. 

"Well, we know that the one in Siberia has been terminated, so let's cross that out." Sam tossed me a marker, and I crossed out the area. "And the one in Jersey." 

"So, just about 198 more bases to check, how about that."

"Well, let's get started."
