CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

MEMORIES

BUCKY AND Y/N sat side by side in chairs, in HYDRA as doctors checked them over. A few doctors sat on Bucky's left side, fixing his arm while one was checking on Y/n. Both leaned their backs against the back of their chairs as memories played through their brains.

"Captain Rogers." Arnim Zola slowly says as he looks down at Y/n, the snowy trees all around them. Blood laid all over her clothes, along with her face as she laid flat on the snow.

"Sergeant Barnes." Zola whispers, looking down at Bucky. The man looks up at the older man as he breathed somewhat heavily, feeling weak, just like Y/n had been.

Steve Rogers stood near the edge of the train as he reached his hand out towards his little sister and best friend, who were both dangling from the train.

"Y/n, Bucky, no!" Steve shouts, the couple's screams filling his ears.

Y/n glances around as best as she could, looking up at the men, who were wearing coats and hats in the cold winter air as they dragged her through the snow. Soft and quiet pants left past her lips as she fought to keep her eyes open.

Glancing to her right, she sees her beloved's face looking upwards. Her e/c eyes stop on his left arm, but it wasn't there. His arm wasn't there. All there was, was blood, the red color trailing through the snow as they were being dragged.

Just like his beloved, Bucky glances around as he was also being dragged through the snow, gaze landing on the men dragging him. Fighting to keep his eyes open, he glances down at his left side, revealing he was armless on one side.

Slowly, he glances over to his left, meeting his beloved's e/c eyes, seeing her also struggling to keep her eyes open. Shakily, he saw Y/n reach out towards him as he heard himself mumble her name.

Bucky now laid on a metal table as he looked up at the many doctors walking towards him, tools in hand, masks covering the bottom half of their faces.

"The procedure has already started." Zola's voice echoes.

Bucky's eyes fluttered open slightly, blue eyes landing on a pair of hands that held a tool in them, working on his armless left side, the sound of drills filling his ears.

Slowly, Bucky brought his hands up, one flesh hand, the other a metal hand. One doctor noticed him and came forward, only to start being choked by Bucky's metal hand.

Y/n and Bucky stood side by side, their hands clasped together as they were strapped to chairs, Arnim Zola standing in front of them, glancing between the two with a little smile on his face.

"You two are to be the new fists of HYDRA." Zola's voice informs. "Put them on ice."

Next thing they knew, both Bucky and Y/n were trapped in tube like objects, both across from each other. Holding their hands up to the little windows, their eyes met. Y/n held a slightly scared look on her face as she stared into his blue eyes. And with that, they were put on cryofreeze.

Clenching his jaw, Bucky used his metal arm, hitting the doctor who was working on his metal arm half way across the room. As he does that, Y/n's foot meets another doctor's chest, sending him on the other side of the room.

Not looking at her, Bucky clasped her hand in his, squeezing her hand. Y/n interlocks their fingers together, squeezing back while the HYDRA agents around them aim their guns at the assassins, but they didn't matter to the two.

Bucky looks down at Y/n, meeting her e/c eyes as he cups her cheeks, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. The girl wore a beautiful dressed that stopped at her knees as her hair was a half up half down type of style.

"I love you, Bucky Barnes." Y/n whispers, leaning up towards him slightly.

Y/n looks up at Bucky, staring into his blue eyes as she slowly leaned up towards him, their lips brushing together. Her hands rested on his chest as he wore a nice pair of pants with a buttoned shirt that was slightly unbuttoned.

"I love you too, Y/n Rogers." Bucky whispers back, closing the cap between them.

Their lips move in sync, heads tilting to the side as they deepen the kiss. Bucky's other hand comes up to Y/n's other cheek, gently cupping it, his thumbs caressing both her cheeks as her hands rested on his chest, gripping his shirt slightly.

Slowly, Bucky pulls away, lips moving towards her neck as he found himself taking steps forward, causing Y/n to move backwards. Kissing up her neck, to her jaw, then back to her lips, one of his hands left her cheek, finding the doorknob and twisting it open.

Y/n slowly pulls on Bucky's shirt as their lips detach, pulling him more into his apartment, knowing Steve would be at her shared apartment with him, as to why they were at Bucky's. Kicking the door closed with his foot, one of Bucky's arms wraps around her waist, the other hand going to the back of her head.

Just then, Y/n squeals against his mouth when he lifts her up, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. She could feel a small smirk coming to his lips. Not breaking the kiss, Bucky takes steps forward, remembering the direction to where his room was.

Eventually, he walks into his room, closing the door behind them with his foot, walking further into his room, both of them ready for the magical night they were going to have.

Alexander Pierce walks through the HYDRA building, Rumlow walking behind him. Two men stood outside the room the assassins were in.

"Sir. They're unstable. Erratic." One of the men informs.

However, Pierce just ignores him as he, Rumlow, and a couple of HYDRA agents walk through the doors and into the room, gazes landing on the assassins in front of them.

Bucky and Y/n sat side by side together on a picnic blanket in the scorching sun. The Rogers girl wore a nice dress that her brother, in fact, had helped her pick it out. Her hair was in a nice and neat ponytail as Bucky wore pants and a shirt.

Y/n slowly laid back, her back and head touching the blanket as she looked up at the clouds above her. Taking a couple more grapes in his mouth, Bucky glances down at his beloved, a soft smile appearing on his face as he slowly leans above her, her e/c eyes now meeting his blue ones.

Y/n raises a brow. "Can I help you?"

Bucky shakes his head, shrugging. "No, just looking at my beautiful girl."

In response, Y/n rolls her eyes, but a smile laid on her face as she looks back up the clouds. Bucky, however, continues to stare at her with a smile, seeing the blush on her cheeks. Slowly, his hand comes up to her cheek, making her look back at him.

"I can't wait to make you my wife." Bucky blurts out in a whisper, thumb brushing against her lower lip.

"What?" Y/n replies, eyes widening.

Bucky nods, humming in reply. "Yeah, I'm gonna make you my wife. And then we'll live together forever and ever. You'll be Mrs. Y/n Barnes."

"I like the sound of that." Y/n admits, the smile growing on her face.

"So do I." Bucky replies, leaning down and kissing her.

"Mission report." Pierce demands, glancing between the assassins.

However, the Winter Soldiers don't reply as they continue staring straight ahead, many memories playing through their minds. Everyone in the room stares at them, while Pierce narrows his eyes on the partners.

"Mission report now." Pierce repeats.

Once again, not getting a response, Pierce leans down, the back of his hand meeting both their faces. Bucky clenches his jaw in anger, blue eyes narrowing on Pierce for hitting his girl, wanting to attack him. However, Y/n quickly squeezes his hand as she looks up at Pierce curiously.

"The man on the bridge." Y/n begins, remembering Steve's familiar face. "Who was he?"

"You two met him earlier this week on another assignment." Pierce replies.

Bucky and Y/n glance at each other, both sharing the exact same thought.

"We knew him." Bucky states.

Pierce purses his lips, now sitting in front of the couple. "Your work has been gifts to mankind. You two shaped the century. And I need you two to do it one more time. Society's at a tipping point between order and chaos. And tomorrow morning, we're gonna give it a push. But, if you two don't do your part, I can't do mine. And HYDRA can't give the world the freedom it deserves."

"But we knew him." Y/n repeats, bottom lip quivering.

Pierce sighs, standing to his feet. "Prep them."

"They've been out of cryofreeze too long." A man replies.

"Then wipe them and start over." Pierce demands, causing Bucky's hand to tighten around Y/n's.

A few doctors go over to them, pushing them both back, making their hands leave each other. Y/n doesn't bother fighting as they put the mouth guard in her mouth, the others doing the same for Bucky.

The two get strapped to the chairs, the machine going around their head as it turns on, their screams being heard throughout the room. As that happens, Pierce walks out of the room, Rumlow and some other HYDRA agents following him.
