Even if we fight forever

Chapter 7

"Bucky..." I place my hand on Bucky's cheek.

"Enough."

"Oh, damn, I knew this would happen. Everything Hydra put inside me is still there. All he had to do was say the fricken words."

"Who was he?"

"I don't know."

"I didn't recognise him either. We made a point to learn all the faces of Hydra to stay away from them."

"People are dead. The bombing, the setup. The doctor did all that just to get 10 minutes with you. I need you to do better than 'I don't know.'"

"Listen we were just fine before all this started happening."

"Babe it was bound to happen. He wanted to know about Siberia. Where I was kept. He wanted to know exactly where." My heart dropped, I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Why would he need to know that?"

"Bucky, tell them, they need to know."

Bucky takes a deep breath. "Because, I am not the only winter soldier."

Bucky told them everything even the part I played in developing the formula.

"So, who are they?"

"Their most elite death squad. More kills than anyone in Hydra history. And that was before the serum."

"They all turn out like you?"

"Sam!" I couldn't help the snarl erupting from my throat.

"Babe it's okay." Bucky looks at Sam. "Worse."

"The doctor, could he control them?"

"Enough."

I close my eyes and think back about all the experiments that failed. All those rotting bodies. I open my eyes to see a very concerned Steve hovering over me. "I'm okay, sorry."

"Babe when was the last time you had something to drink."

"Don't worry, I'm okay."

Steve helps me up. "Said he wanted to see an empire fall."

"With these guys they could to it. They speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, destabilise. They can take a whole country down in one night. You'd never see them coming."

Sam moves closer to Steve who moved back from me. "This would have been a lot easier a week ago."

"If we call Tony..."

"No, he won't believe us." Sam interrupts Steve.

"Even if he did..."

"Who knows if the Accords will let him help."

"We're on our own."

"Maybe not. I know a guy."

"Steve! Sarah doesn't look good."

Steve rushes over to me. "What do I do?"

"Let me loose."

"Steve?" Sam seems uneasy.

"It's okay. I'll do anything to help her."

Sam lifts the vice and frees Bucky. "Give me a knife." Steve hands Bucky a knife and he places the knife to his arm and makes a perfect red line.

He pulls me closer and positions my mouth by the open wound. I can feel the warm liquid satisfy the burning thirst inside. "Thank you lover."

"Let's go."
