Daybreak (Bucky Barnes Fan Fiction)

| 8 |

Even with a few hours left in the night, I fell asleep. However, that didn't last long. I woke up to the sound of the door bursting open. I sat up immediately and the gun under my pillow was fired three times. Two bullets hit the wall behind a man and one hit my target. Bucky had more luck with his gun, he successfully killed four men before his clip emptied. The popping sounds of the guns made me jump every time they went off, but I did my best to remind myself where I was.

Bucky began to fight the agents and all I could do was watch. There was no way in hell I could move as fast as he was. But then one of the men pulled out a cattle prod-looking taser. Bucky fell to one knee when he was hit with the cattle prod. That's when I jumped in. I pulled a knife out of my bag and threw it at an agent. The knife pierced the man's thigh, which was what I had been aiming for. I knew they were probably wearing bullet proof vests.

"Who the hell are you!" One of the agents shouted, pointing their gun to me. I had no choice but to hold my hands up in surrender at the amount of guns pointed to me. By now, Bucky was being put into these large, thick cuff-like things. Our eyes met briefly but I couldn't read his expression.

"Come on." A man took ahold of my arm and hauled me to my feet before cuffing my hands together. Natasha, Steve, and Sam were being escorted to a heavily armored truck, just like we were.

"Today is a good day, people." One of the agents said. "Load em up and let's get going. I'll start on the road. We've got a while until we get where we're going."

He sounded familiar, but I couldn't place a name with his face, not yet at least. When it came my turn to get into the back of the truck, I refused to step up at first. A woman gripped my arm tight, her nails almost digging into my skin.

"Give me a reason to shoot you, honey."

I gritted my teeth together and stepped up into the back of the truck, behind Sam. I took a seat next to him and then Bucky sat beside me. Steve and Natasha were placed across from us and a HYDRA agent, the one who had spoken before, sat next to them. His eyes studied my face for a few seconds before he spoke.

"Well I'll be damned. If it isn't Agent Widia Cooper."

I locked my jaw upon hearing him address me as that.

"You came out of hiding for these assholes?"

"Younger." I spoke through clenched teeth. Agent Brent Younger had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent when I was working with S.H.I.E.L.D. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I could ask you the same. I thought you quit after that fiasco in the Middle East. Got your whole team killed, huh? At least, that's what I heard—,"

"You heard wrong."

"Doesn't look like it from where I'm sitting. You led us right to these guys."

Steve's head lifted and his eyes met mine immediately.

"How?"

Younger smirked but said nothing regarding my question.

"So tell me, Cooper. You were in bed with the Winter-fucking-Soldier. I thought Zach Riggs was the only one for you. You two were stupid in love. It kind of made me want to throw up every time I saw you. But you know, the bitch deserved to die. He just followed rules too much. Did you ever know someone that just—,"

"I'm going to kill you." I spoke calmly.

"Go ahead and try, sweetheart." Younger chuckled. I pulled against my handcuffs and Younger noticed, only chuckling at my weak attempt, but his attention quickly went to Natasha.

"You said you're enhanced." Sam leaned over and whispered to me. "Now would be a good time to show Cap what you got."

"I won't audition to be here." I gritted through my teeth.
