"It was him." Steve muttered, staring at the floor of the van that they were being escorted in. "He looked right at me like he didn't even know me."
Azar remained silent at the super soldier's words, which were true. It was like Bucky didn't recognise them at all.
But she knew what she saw in his eyes.
"How's that even possible? It was like 70 years ago." Sam stated.
"Zola." Steve said causing the twins and Sam to look at him in question. "Bucky's whole unit was captured in '43, Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and..." He explained and trailed off.
"None of that's your fault, Steve." Artemis said from beside Sam.
"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." Steve said softly.
Azar smiled slightly, almost as if she agreed. With her time being held captive by HYDRA, the younger twin began losing hope of being rescued but she had Bucky, with all his plans to save them. At least it worked out for one of them in the end.
"Question: is blood supposed to be blue?" Sam asked while staring at Artemis, her blood slowly dripping down her leather jacket.
"It's Kree blood." Azar answered. "It's supposed to be blue. And she'll be fine eventually." The sister rolled her eyes.
"Is now really the time, Azar?" Artemis asked, gritting out through her pain.
"Why should I show that I care, hmm?" Azar fired back. "You clearly don't."
"What are you talking about? Of course I care! You're my little sister." Artemis replied, leaning forward slowly to look at her sister.
"If you cared about me, like you say you do, you wouldn't have taken me away from him 8 years ago and you wouldn't have agreed with SHIELD not to go back and rescue him!" Azar yelled with tears welling up in her eyes. "You knew how much I love Bucky!"
Sam's eyes were wide at this point and Steve looked at Azar with shock.
All Artemis could do was look at her sister with guilt on her face. "Azar--"
"Don't." The younger twin snapped, wiping her eyes. "It's all about the job right?" She asked and turned her head away.
Artemis sighed softly and leaned back with a painful groan.
"We need to get a doctor here. We don't put pressure on that wound she's gonna bleed out here in the truck." Sam said, eyeing the older brunette's bleeding wound.
All of a sudden, a guard pulled out an electric rod and neutralized the other guard, knocking him out.
Taking off the helmet, the guard was revealed to be agent Maria Hill.
"Ah. That thing was squeezing my brain." She said as Sam looked at her with confusion written all over his face while Maria looked at Steve.
"Who's this guy?" She asked, gesturing towards the para-rescue.
After making their escape from Rumlow and HYDRA, Maria had taken the group of four to a secret facility. Upon entering, a doctor came running towards them.
"GSW. She's lost at least a pint." Maria stated.
"Maybe two." Sam added as he and Steve helped the injured twin.
"Let me take her." The doctor replied.
"He wants to see them." Maria whispered to the doctor who nodded.
Maria then led the group to a room, revealing Fury, alive and lying in a bed. The group looked at him in shock.
"About damn time." Fury said as he sat up slowly.
"How are you not dead?" Azar questioned.
