Monster of a Ghost | Avenger's OC|

Which Way is Up?

HIIII! I am so so so so sorry it's taken me this long to update, I got really bad writers block and I got started on writing other stories too. But hopefully now that I've got this out it should be much easier and more frequent! Thank you so much for waiting!!!

"It was him," Steve's words breaking the painful silence in the vehicle. "He looked right at me. And he didn't even know me."

"That... H-He couldn't have been Barnes. He died what like seventy years ago." Kelsey said trying to make sense out of what she had just witnessed and been a part of.

"Zola... Bucky's whole unit was captured in '43, Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must've found him."

"None of that's you fault Steve."

Natasha's voice made it how much pain the gun shot was causing her, it was taking even more of a toll on her then she'd ever admit.

"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." Steve said basically wallowing in pity.

"Your shoulder Nat... if i could just..." Kelsey went to lean across the gap.

As Kelsey attempted to reach out one of the two guards in the back of the truck lurched forward holding an electrified rod hitting Kelsey in her arm making her jump back.

"Fuck..." She hissed her head smacking into the metal side of the truck. "Screw you."

"If we don't get a doctor she'll bleed out in the truck." Sam said pretty much getting the rod waved in his face.

The masked guard then turned the rod on the other guard shocking the man and then delivering a swift kick to their face effectively knocking them out. The guard then pulled their helmet off to reveal none other than Maria Hill

"Ah... that thing was squeezing my brain. Whose this guy?"

When no one answered Hill, Kelsey instead let out a groan breaking the silence.

"You know you didn't have to shock me Hill, it's not a pleasant sensation." Kelsey grumbled scrunching her eyes tightly still slightly reeling from the shock.

"Sorry..." Hill replied with a sheepish smile.

Kelsey really had no idea how they'd gotten out of the truck and into a completely different van but they did. Where they were going only Maria knew and Kelsey could still feel herself struggling greatly with the entire situation.

Her head was throbbing. She couldn't make any sense out of anything.

Why did she feel like she knew that man...

She really shouldn't know him especially if he was Steve's actual James Bucky Barnes.

But she did know him. She could feel it in her bones. She felt it in the deepest pars of her. Why and how she honestly had no idea. And god, it infuriated her. She wanted to pull her hair out and scream. She needed to make sense out of everything that was going on, but it was impossible.

She felt different. Like just that single second had changed her entirely.

You're making it too easy right now...

The words snapped her right back into reality, just as the van came to a stop. The door opening a split second later. Steve was the first to hop out turning quickly so Sam could pass him a very weak Natasha to him.

Once the way was clear, Kelsey quickly pulled herself out of the car shielding her eyes from the sun. All she was able to tell was that they were at some concrete dam structure and Hill leading inside the structure.
