BEFORE YOU READ: as i stated before i will be going into extreme detail about sensitive subjects. i'm one of those that did a deep dive into hydra and fan theories so this truly will go into detail about how cruel and ill hydra is. they are NOT good people and how elijah/bucky are treated will show that. this chapter isn't too bad it's just mainly kidnapping, remus and zola being creepily obsessed.

The air felt humid, that's what Elijah knew. He felt wet but not from liquid, he felt hot from heat? He couldn't tell. He couldn't move. His arms were stuck, he attempted wiggling his fingers; that worked. He could move them, but nothing from his arms. He tried his legs next; they wouldn't move. His toes could wiggle but not his feet. He didn't know what to do. This had to be a dream, right? Just like last time?

He's going to wake up any minute, his eyes will open and all of this will go away. He'll feel normal again, he'll go to Fern's and see everyone. Maybe he'll tell William how he feels. He just needs to wake up. Please, his body is screaming at him but he's fighting it. What is happening to him? He's using his mind, he has to be awake he just can't open his eyes, why?

His body feels weird, maybe that's why? He knows something is wrong but he doesn't know what or why. He needs to move, please. He's scared. He wants to jump up and move around, he wants to do anything at all but he can't. He realizes that he's starting to panic, he's so scared. He still won't wake up. The panic starts to settle in. He can feel it, he can feel something poking his body in multiple spots.

Is this death?

When he comes back to it, his senses are overloaded. There's so much going on but he can focus on the bright light in his eyes. A flashlight? Is he being poked with a flashlight? It hurts, his eyes, his head. It all hurts so much it's overwhelming. He can't breathe. A strange panic feeling overcame him. Something different, he doesn't know this feeling but he can't breathe. His senses feel a little better, he is more aware but he still can't move anything.

Trying to calm his brain, he goes to take a deep breath only to realize there's tape covering his mouth. How the fuck did he not notice this before? Every thought about staying calm flies out of his head and he panics, bad.

His breathing is heavier, he's started shaking and most of all he feels so sick. He's so scared and the need to throw up becomes stronger. Elijah wants to be calm but it's not possible.

On the other side of the room a man stands tall. His shadow never moving despite the frenzy the monitor was in. He just stood there watching. Occasionally he'll turn his head to look at the monitor but that's it.

The door opening didn't startle him, "Sir, are you ready?" The voice asked as his head went from the man to the other on the table. The sight was disgusting in all honesty. The younger looked like a corpse, his cheeks were flushed, his mouth was overly covered, every inch of his body was tied down.

For a few seconds it was silence from them as they observed until the man decided it's time. He turned slowly giving a nod, no words needed to be said. It was time to wake Elijah.

The man by the door quickly rushed out whilst the other walked over to Elijah. He glanced over at the monitor then started taking the wires off Elijah's head. He took his time doing so, clearly in no rush.

Elijah's panicking started to cease, his breathing was labored and his flush went down a little but he was shaking still. He thought over different ways to wake him and decided to grab the bottled water once he finished and splashed him.

He came to reality with a gasp, his eyes wide filled with fear. He turns his head in every direction until he stops. His eyes bored into the man in front of his, refusing to move even an inch. "What?" He murmurs softly, so soft the other almost didn't hear it.

The man remained the same stance since he splashed the water, bottle still in his hand, eyes still hard. "Good morning my dear, I'm happy you're awake now." He gave a smile that made Elijah's skin crawl, it felt wrong.

"Remus, what is going on?" He questioned, voice shaking as he looked around, he landed on what looked like a wired headset, then different machines, and computers. He looked down to see what he was on, he let out a shutter. He realized he was tied down.

Remus stood there letting him go over everything, analyzing his facial expressions. When Elijah looked up to him he started to smile, "Welcome home." he beamed, smile widening as he saw the fear strike in his eyes.

"Remus, please, what's going on? This is not my home." He quivered, already begging. Remus liked that. He's greeted with nothing but silence, furthering the anxiety that was already sitting with him.

He doesn't want to believe this, it must be a dream. He scans the room looking at the machine– they were frightening, he has never seen anything like them before– not even in movies. His eyes followed Remus' movement, he knew what he was doing, and how to work the machine perfectly. The current one he was using looked painful.

He watches as Remus pauses whatever he's doing to turn to him. "Are you ready?" He gives a smile, a smile that reaches his eyes– he looks excited.. Elijah wants to throw up. He walks over to him, in no rush, full smile out. He takes Elijah by the hand pulling him. "Let me start with an introduction. This is your new life now. You will serve as a member of Hydra. What is Hydra? Hydra is an organization. We are helping change the world, these machines you see.They are the key to our future." Remus explained, pointing at different equipment. Once he finishes he turns over to Elijah looking in his eyes.

One shows fear and the other shows thrill, "You are going to change the world, Elijah Martin." He smirks before pushing Elijah down in the chair. At first he struggles against it but Remus is quicker– he presses a red button and sirens go off. A few men flood the room hooking him to the chair.

"It's time!"
