Reopened Wounds (Rewritten Opposites Attract)

Part 4

[Present]

I wake up shocked, that was when police went after me for my time at HYDRA. I looked around my cell and noticed that outside was pitch black. I see a figure walking up to a cell, the man in the cell looks like he's smiling at the man.

"Who's there?" After opening the cell he was at, he walks over to mine. He's a blonde man with blue eyes.

"Hey there, want out?" I nod as he looks around the edge of the cell, he pushes a button and the door opens. He goes to the other cells to do the same, Ella runs to me throwing her arms around me.

I bury my head in her hair and take a deep breath of her scent, "Good to see you, Kitty," She moves away from me and grabs my cuffed hands, looking at the dried blood.

"Hey blondie you have a key to these things?" He finished with a woman's straightjacket and walks over to me. He pulls a key from his pocket and unlocks them. I sigh as they fall to the ground with a thud, I rub at my wrists to dislodge some blood that had crusted over them. Our savior hands us our stuff, I pull on my grey t-shirt and give Ella my bomber jacket to keep her warm.

"Let's head out." We follow the blonde man as he leads us to a ship. We all head inside and sit down, I sit by the door with Ella on my right and the man I had talked to sat on my left, he was dirty blonde with dark blue eyes.

"I'm Clint, by the way, Clint Barton." I nod to acknowledge him, he takes one of my hands and looks over the wounds on it.

"I've had worse ya know."

I look up at him, he looks sad, "But no one should have to go through worse." He lets go of my hand and my mind returns to Bucky. I've missed him so much. I regretted ever leaving him, leaving him alone in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. I can only imagine how he felt if he woke up without me by his side. For years we had never been separated. Ella laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep, I look over at her with a smile on my face.

"She's so peaceful even after all that's happened," I say quietly to myself. I quietly start singing a 

lullaby me and my brother, Seo-Joon know by heart.

"Dear Rabbit
My legs are getting weak Chasing you The snowfields Wouldn't seem so big If you knew That this blood on my teeth It is far beyond dry And I've captured you once But I wasn't quite right So I'm telling you That you'll be safe with me Rabbit My claws are dull now So don't be afraid I could keep you warm As long as you can just try To be brave Yes, I know I'm a wolf And I've been known to bite But the rest of my pack I have left them behind And my teeth may be sharp And I've been raised to kill But the thought of fresh meat It is making me ill So I'm telling you That you'll be safe with me So Rabbit Please stop looking the other way It's cold out there So why not stay here Under my tail?"

I pull Ella closer to me, "Why were you in prison with us?" the dark-skinned man from prison asked, "It's a long story but, I was taken by HYDRA and made into a weapon. I've done things that haunt me every day."

Flashes of the killings I've committed flick through my mind. I shiver as I can still taste the blood in my mouth, a hand lays on my shoulder and I look to see the blonde rescuer kneeling in front of me.

"My best friend was also taken by HYDRA, maybe you knew him. Bucky Barnes."

I look up at him shocked, "You're Steve? When he started to remember, he wouldn't shut up 

about you. Even when they wiped us, he never forgot you."

I smile at how annoyed the scientist got when they couldn't erase Steve from Bucky's mind. I think back to all the times he spent trying to remember his best friend. Since I was lost to my thoughts, Steve stands back up and walks away, I rest my head on her's and fall into darkness.
