Hello Sergeant (Bucky Barnes)

Activation

James' POV

We woke abruptly to strobe lights and sirens; the base was being invaded.

<Longing>

I heard the beginning of my trigger sequence and felt my blood run cold. They wanted the Soldier and they knew I wasn't fully him anymore. My heart rate spiked and I started hyperventilating, unable to control my panic.

"James?" Sarah asked from beside me, sitting up and looking at me, eyes wide. "They've come for us - Steve, Tony, Natasha and the others. We need to get out of here."

<Rusted>

I raised my hands to my ears, trying to block the sound, but the volume at which they were said prevented that from happening.

<Seventeen> 

"No, stop," I whispered, curling up into a ball but knowing it was futile. They'd never listened to me before – I should just be grateful that they hadn't wiped me first.

<Daybreak>

"Oh shit; they're triggering you." Sarah put her hand on my arm. "No matter what happens, James, I love you and I will find a way to bring you back again. Do you remember where home is?" She put my hand on the dog tags around my neck. "Washington, DC. Shield's Triskelion."

<Furnace>

I tried to commit those words to memory. "Get dressed, Sarah. If they want the Soldier, it's not going to be safe for you to be around me." I was running out of time. I kissed Sarah briefly before setting her on her feet. She needed to get away from me fast. I could feel myself becoming colder, more analytical.

<Nine>

She started pulling on her suit and shoved her feet into her boots. The words were coming faster and with each one I felt more distanced from her. I started getting dressed myself, pulling on my usual leather shirt and tactical pants.

<Benign>

"I won't leave you, James."

<Homecoming>

"Get away from me, woman," I ordered.

<One>

 I closed my eyes as I felt myself going cold, anticipating my orders. I was the greatest Asset Hydra could command and I had a job to do.

<Freight car>

I opened my eyes.

<Soldier?>

"<Ready to comply,>" I replied firmly, standing at attention.

<Take the prisoner to the containment level and await further orders.> 

The female in the room with me looked at me with a strange expression before walking over to stand in front of the door. I grabbed the female by her arm and walked out the door.
