LIGHTNING ▷ BUCKY BARNES [UNDER EDITING]

9| STORM

The doors of the room opened and her pupils dilated when she saw the man lying on his bed, absentmindedly staring up at the ceiling. Her body pumped with adrenaline and so it also pumped with her powers, racing to her fingertips and begging her to use them. Against him.

"Comfortable enough?"

The man's face snapped sideways at the sudden voice echoing through his room. He stood up in a snap and looked at her intensively. He remembered her and he knew she wasn't in his room just to talk. Her body language was set to hurt, maybe even kill but her eyes told him she wasn't that kind of person. She was just a person seeking revenge, to avenge her best friends death.

"He's dead because of you..." she whispered out of breath making him put his hands in front of him in defense. "I am sorry." he stated wholeheartedly but she looked through the hurt in his face and only focused on the moment playing in her head when he threw the knife at her, "I am truly sorry."

Valerie shook her head no as the sparks flew out of her fingertips. It didn't go unnoticed to the man and instead of retreating back in fear he took steps towards her, storing the fear in the back of his head. His face softened and his hands made a motion to tell her he wasn't going to hurt her. She let him walk to her, let him stand in front of her and let him talk to her. "I didn't have control over it," he explained, his hands dropping down to his sides as he gazed into her brown, dark eyes. A storm was razing through them but he saw it calming down, just for a second. The storm was quickly replaced with a category 4 tornado and she punched the man in his chest with high force and electricity raging through her fist. Bucky flew backward, his back met the wall in an instant before he dropped down to the cold floor. He looked up at her in mercy, he didn't want to hurt her as the Winter Soldier did but out of self-defense, he had to.

He lunged forwards at her, throwing a punch towards her shoulder but mid-air she caught his fists. He looked up from his folded hand to her eyes and in seconds he was lying back on the ground with her on top of him, throwing hard and unmerciful punches in his face. "This is for Winn." she hissed, her fist now glowing a warm yellow color above her head, ready to strike the man unconscious with a broken jaw.

Her fist almost met the man's jaw when she was thrown off of him with a metal object. She looked up with a huff, cocking up an eyebrow at Steve who was protectively standing in front of Barnes. "Are you out of your damn mind?" the blond exclaimed, looking at Valerie in dissatisfaction. Valerie shrugged as she reached down for the Captain America shield, picking it up and throwing it back at Steve, "Yes."

She walked out if the room, throwing one last deadly glance at Barnes that told him this wasn't over yet.
