Melioration ~ James Buchanan Barnes

OO8 ~ Triggered

Bruce succeeded in taking your blood and now he is working alongside Tony to create a powerful barrier to keep you locked away in here to rot. You need to get out and you need to get to James. 

What if they're training him to be good? What if they succeed to reverse all of your hard work? You despise the thought of him becoming an Avenger. Then it's a fact that Hydra will give you a slow and painful death when they find you. 

'Prisoner 1488, your arms out the door. Now!' You ignore and casually lie on your bed. 'Didn't you hear me? Get your fucking arms out of the door!' You look up to the tall man and tilt your head. 'I'm terribly sorry. I thought you were talking to someone else. For my name is not a number.' The guard is not impressed with your sarcasm and you only seem to anger him.

'I don't fucking care, prisoner. That's what you get for joining Hydra. Now get your ass over here.' A loud sigh rolls over your lips and you hesitantly hold your arms up to the guard through the little open space in the middle of the door. He cuffs your wrists together before opening the door and pulling you out of your cell. 

'You could be a little more gentle with me! After all, I am a lady.' The only response you get is a push between your shoulder blades so you fall to the floor. 'Not a wise move to be sarcastic in here, {y/n}.'  You think and sigh while standing up again, only to be pushed back down. 'If you talk back at me like that again, I will hurt you so badly that you won't even remember what you did to deserve it.' The guard says and you wisely shut up. You lie like that on the floor until he tells you to stand up again. 

You are taken to the highest floor of the tower, back to the interrogation rooms where, much to your surprise, James is. And what do you do? The first thing that comes to mind and that is chanting the trigger words. James doesn't know his strength when he is under Hydra's control and that is exactly what you need right now. 

Once the agents realize what is going on, it's already too late. James has been rebooted and is killing every guard in his sight while ripping his cuffs off. At last, he helps you out of yours. 'Thank you, soldier. This was very much appreciated. Now help us out of here and leave the Scepter. We're going to need a different plan to get it.' James is already scanning the environment for a way out and seeming that the alarms are buzzing again, the stair case seems like the only solution. He pulls you with him and you both race down the stairs, only to be attacked by multiple agents again. 

They're with too many for James to handle so you step in and help him by using the fight technics from Shield and Hydra combined. 'Oh hello, Jack.' You say to an agent, where you had a sexual relationship with once, clinging your legs around his neck to then drop to the ground, taking him with you in your fall. 'It's been a pleasure, like always.' You whisper and eliminate the other agents as well. 

But unfortunately, the building is in lock-down now that the alarms are going off. 'Fuck!' You mutter under your breath and already hear footsteps behind you. When you turn around, Natascha and Clint are leading a new group of agents who are all ready to fight you. They're the only one from the Avengers who know about you seeming they started out as agents under your supervision.

'Well, well, well. My star pupils. Look how far you've come, leading a group of agents towards their deaths.' Natascha grunts while Clint already points his bow and arrow at you. 'Don't test us, {y/n}. You may have trained us but we will take you down in the blink of an eye.' You smirk and get in position. 'Try me, darlings.' James is also getting in position. 

To say you didn't expect the power coming from them is an understatement. You easily tricked Clint and Natascha but you didn't expect Captain America and Iron Man to get involved in the fight. You grunt when you're back on the floor with your hands cuffed behind your back. 

'I was going to leave the Scepter! Fuck all of you!' You scream and squirm on the floor, trying to wiggle your wrists out of the cuffs but you fail. James however, succeeds since he is still under your control. He takes a leap, grabbing you from the floor and bursting through the glass door. The Avengers try to come after you two but James manages to get you off the radar pretty quickly. 

When you're standing in a safe spot with your arms cut free again, you take a good look at the man. 'Thank you.' You say, genuinely meaning that. For a minute you thought you had failed again but he proved it wrong. He doesn't show you any emotion whatsoever and even though that makes you content with what you have accomplished, you realize that he's not really human now. His mind is trapped and boxed in somewhere in the back of his head while Hydra has now full control over his actions. Or in other words, you have full control over his actions. It saved you but you're not sure if you can handle staying low with this man if he's like this. But you guess you just have to wait and see about that.

He sits down on the ground with his gun pointed subtly from under his arm, ready to kill the first intruder that comes near you. With a sigh you drop yourself beside him while staring at the sky.
