Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Marchessa Stark and Sam Wilson were all quiet in the back of the Hydra van they had been taken into, thoughts going a million times a minute.
However, one mind was reeling in particular, and it belonged to that of Steve Rogers.
Jessica was alive.
Those three words were the only ones he could think, memories of her laugh and smile invading his head.
"It was her," He whispered, blue eyes looking down at the restraints around his hands, "She looked right at me like she didn't even know me. Bucky, too."
Sam shook his head beside Chess, who was looking at Natasha, "How is that even possible? It was, like, seventy years ago."
"Zola," Steve spoke through grit teeth, "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 trailed off, audibly gulping at the thought of Jessica being experimented on like she was always fearful of.
"When Jessica went to find him, he must have done the same thing to her."
Chess looked to him, signing instead of speaking as she didn't want to talk in front of the Hydra agents, "Whatever they did was different. She looked like she remembered him, but not you. Plus, she seemed very chill... it's kind of odd."
"Whatever it may be," Natasha spoke hoarsely, eyelids fluttering, "It wasn't your fault, Steve. There was no way you could have known."
"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky and Jessica... hell, she even moved next door to make sure I wasn't lonely when my mom died."
Sam gave him a grim smile, pursing his lips a bit before he turned to look at Natasha, who was on the other side of Chess.
He shook his head, turning back to one of the Hydra officers, saying, "We need to get a doctor here. We don't put pressure on that wound she's gonna bleed out here in the truck."
Suddenly, one of the guards pulled out an electric rod, pointing it at Sam causing him to stiffen. The guard was paused for a moment before they swung toward the other guard beside them, neutralizing and knocking him out.
The guard took of their mask, everyone's eyes widening when they met the face of Commander Maria Hill.
"Ah," She winced, "That thing was squeezing my brain."
A short while later, Jessica Lynne was sitting on an uncomfortable chair, eyes dull as she was pulled into what seemed to be a memory.
"We looked for you after. My folks wanted to give you a ride to the cemetery," Bucky grinned lightly as he walked toward Steve's apartment, Jessica on the said man's arm.
