Cold Sea // Marvel

Chapter Eight.

We're seated in a very small car and Steve is the one driving. Sam is seated next to him while I'm on the back seat next to Bucky, our hands intertwined. I never drove. Is it easy? It must be because Steve is doing it.

"So, you're cold?"

"Sam"

"What? The girl shoots ice and you don't wanna know about it?" Replies Sam.

"I am cold," I reply, smiling.

"How come?"

"I don't know. I opened my eyes and I had these powers. I know it's not normal for a human to have them"

"Yeah, not normal," scoffs Sam.

"This is not the road to Siberia," I say, leaning forward to Steve.

"How do you know the road to Siberia?" Asks Sam confused.

"I feel the cold. And we are not going to the cold"

"We have to get our stuff back," answers Steve.

"What stuff?"

"Their uniforms Sea," explains Bucky.

"Oh, the blue clothes and bird uniform"

"It's not a bird!" Exclaims Sam.

"But it has wings like a bird"

"Yeah but- just sit back"

I frown and sit back as he said. I look at Bucky and he shrugs. Sam is not like Steve, he is funny. Steve is serious, like Bucky. But Bucky is Bucky, and Steve is boring. And Sam is nice. I would like to spend time with him, he is funny.

"So, how did you two meet?" Ask Sam, looking at me in the rear-view mirror.

"I froze a man because I wanted to go home, and the guards tried to stop me. Bucky was with them, and it was the first time I saw his face," I answer, happy to tell this story. "His blue eyes reminded me of home; he became my home"

Steve glance at Bucky in the mirror and a smirk appears on his lips. I frown and look at Bucky, he is smiling too, but staring at me.

"You remember," he says, caressing my hand with his thumb.

"Of course. It was the first time I smiled since HYDRA got me"

Steve stops the car. I look in front of us and see the blonde woman who tried to hurt Bucky.

"She's the one who fought you," I say to Bucky.

"Don't worry, she's not here to hurt you," announces Steve.

"I don't care about me. She tried to hurt Bucky"

"She won't do anything to him," declares Steve as he gets out of the car.

I stare at him as he walk to her. They chat a bit and she opens the back of her car, from here I can see Steve's uniform and Sam's wings. She is the one who is giving them their stuff back. Is she nice? If she is, why did she fight Bucky? Bucky is nice too.

"Can you move your seat up?" Asks Bucky. I turn my head to him and see he is talking to Sam.

"No"

Bucky moves closer to me and we are a bit squeezed, but I don't care.

"You're okay?" I ask.

He nods and looks down at my legs. He sees that they are a bit pressed against each other.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yes"

He grabs my legs with his metal arms and put them on his lap. I smile to him and we both look up to Steve. I frown when I see him very close to the blonde woman. Their faces are pressed against each other, just like guards of HYDRA were with mine, and she has her hand in his hair while his hand is on her waist.

"What are they doing?" I ask. "Are they training?"

"They're kissing," answers Sam with a smile on his lips. Why is he proud.

"Kissing is training," I reply.

"No it's not!"

"Yes it is. I trained like that with HYDRA men"

"You what?!" Shouts Sam, turning his head to me.

I feel my hands being squeezed. I look down at my hand in Bucky's and frown again. When my eyes fall on his face, I see anger. Why is he angry? What did I do?

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"Why did you let those men do that to you?" Demands Bucky, visibly angry.

"They said it was training"

"It wasn't training Sea!"

"OK, I'm heading out," says Sam while getting out of the car.

"But HYDRA said-"

"HYDRA lied! And these men that did that to you, they did something bad! Don't you understand it?"

"Kissing is bad?"

"Did you enjoy it?" Asks Bucky in disgust.

"I didn't feel anything. It was just weird"

"Because it wasn't kissing Sea! You kiss someone because you love them not because of a training!"

He sighs and closes his eyes for a minute. His hand let go of mine as he backs away from me.

"Did they took your clothes off?" He asks, his eyes still closed.

I feel like he's not gonna like the answer. But I can't lie, I would never lie to Bucky.

"I didn't had clothes"

"What?" Says Bucky when he opens his eyes to look at me. Now, he is feeling hatred and sadness at the same time.

"The first times, I didn't wear clothes. I didn't like them, they would tighten my body and restrain my movements. I only had my bear fur"

Bucky sighs and turns his head to avoid looking at me.

"Are you angry at me?" I ask.

"No. I'm angry against them and myself. I should've known sooner"

"Know what?"

"That you got raped!" Shouts Bucky when turning his head to me. "These men did something to you that is not ok! They hurt you, and I hate that I wasn't able to protect you!"

"But I'm the one who protects you"

"And I want to be the one who protects you Sea!" His eyes are filled with a shaking glow. Bucky's lips are trembling and he sighs before looking away.

I hear footsteps coming to the car. While my gaze is still focused on Bucky's face, Steve and Sam sits back in the car and tries not to look at us. Steve turns on the vehicle and drives away from here.

Bucky shouted at me. He never shouted at me. He never is angry against me, and now he is. I did something bad. I shouldn't have.
