Word count:648

  I've worked with the Avengers for awhile. I don't have any powers,but I can fight and track people down. When they asked me to help find Bucky,everything changed.

  Steve was at one end of the alley,and I was at the other. Bucky was trapped,but he came to my end in attempt to escape. "Bucky. Calm down. I won't hurt you." He squinted his eyes. "I'm not Bucky." I shook my head. "We'll protect each other,promise?" His expression softened as he slowly got on one knee,looking down and putting his hands in the air,"Promise." 

  I had stayed by his side the whole ride to Stark Towers. (A/n: Let's just pretend it's the tower.) They gave him something to,as they said "Just put him to sleep." He was whimpering,his hand turning to a fist. What they used must not have been strong enough. I managed to undo one of his fists,threading my fingers in between his. I rubbed the back of his hand,whispering that it's okay. Let's hope he can hear this. His face softened.

  They brought him in,but I refused to leave. "What is that? Are you hurting him? Are you sure he's okay?" The doctors were annoyed. I finally gave up and sat next to him in a chair.

  I woke up,not remembering even drifting off. Bucky was looking at me curiously. "Were you here the whole time?"  "I- uh yes I was." He turned his gaze,looking around the room. "Where am I?"  "Stark Towers." He gave me a not so nice look. Another doctor came in and grabbed a needle. "No. Stop. What is that,first?"  "Something to put him under again."  "No. Leave him alone." The doctor just gave up.

  We talked a lot,with Steve trying to help Bucky remember everything. He started staying in a room across from mine. I'd frequently have to wake him up from nightmares.

  One day I was going to get a drink from Starbucks.(A/n: Because why not.) I walked out and took a sip. Everything got blurry and then it was dark. When I opened my eyes,I was strapped down. Someone walked up. "Where is the Winter Soldier?"  I looked to the side,not answering.

(Bucky's pov)

   It has been 5 hours since she left. Everyone has been telling me to calm down,that she probably went out. I can't breathe and everything is hazy. Tony's words are getting quieter. All I hear is my own heavy breathing. Then everything is black.

   "Buck."  "Steve? How long was I-"  "A few hours. 5"  "Is she back?"  "Well."  "She isn't?"  "No."  "What happened?"  "You were overwhelmed."  "I need to get up."  He wouldn't let me. They said I needed to rest for at least a day. I need to go look. She might be hurt.

(Your pov)

  "If you won't talk,we'll just use you as a test. Don't worry,it will only hurt a lot. Then you'll replace him." They put a mouth guard in my mouth. Everything after is hazy,there were moments where I blacked out entirely. Pain. Needles.

(Bucky's pov)

  One day. Now two. Tony is searching everywhere. Finally there is a strong electrical surge. Steve and I leave immediately. It takes a couple of hours to get there even with a jet,but there was no hesitation to go looking. We got through guards and looked through every room. Finally I saw her. Steve froze. "It looks like... what they did to you." I ran over and grabbed her. She didn't wake up.

  I carried her out,after Steve insisted that I go. After awhile he came,and we left. I whispered to her,even if she couldn't hear. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you."
