The Buchanan Conspiracy (A Bucky Barnes Story) #Wattys2015

Chapter Ten

-HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM-

Tony sat at his desk looking angry, why was no one telling him what had happened while he had been away in Tahiti? No one was being helpful!

Tony: YES I KNOW IT'S A TRAGEDY BUT I WANT ANSWERS!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CAPTAIN!!! SO, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!!!

Then the replies came flooding in.

-IN STEVE'S HOSPITAL ROOM-

* Violet stands by Steve's bed, caressing his cheek, staring at him sadly. She kisses his forehead, a tear falling from her eye. *

Violet: This is all my fault, I'm so sorry, Steve. If I wasn't me then, maybe we could have been together but I am me and I can't escape my role. It's serious now and he's involved. I'd do anything to be part of SHIELD and not them, I want to be good but they won't let me. I love you but I'm not allowed to and now, you're here because of me. I had to plan the whole set up because of my treacherous emotions. I had to let you hear me screaming in my flat, I had to have him follow you, I had to even manipulate Clint and Natasha to set up a blind date for us, it was all me. I'm so sorry. I thought that maybe you would be able to save me but they made me involve him and I can't abandon him now, you'd hate me if I did, you'd never forgive me. I begged for you to forget me and you didn't, so they made me continue the plan. Hurt the Captain. You could have left, you could still be concious. Oh, Steve, it was so easy for you to forget! * She weeps into his shoulder, scrunching up the front of his t-shirt in her hand. * I love you and it's killing us both.

# WARNING: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT A MAJOR SPOILER FROM THE WINTER SOLDIER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. #

TWS: It is indeed.

*Violet, gazes up at Steve's peaceful face before kissing on his jaw and standing up straight and the facing the newcomer. She takes in his chin-length, brown hair, the black smudges around his eyes and his silver, metal arm, which now clutches her wrist. *

Violet: Soldier.

TWS: Not becoming attached to the prey, are we? 'Cause you know that they own. You know that you can't love the enemy. You know that you are one of us. * He suddenly grabs her chin in his hand, forces her to look at him. His face is inches from hers, his lips so close to hers. * I. Own. You. *His lips crash against hers. * Don't forget where you belong. * He steals another kiss. * Hail Hydra. * He pushes her away, roughly and strides over to the window, which he exits through and disappears into the night. *

Violet: Hail Hydra, Buchanan.
