Bucky and I were locked in chains tied to chairs.

"Now, you both are probably wondering why we did all this. And we've always worked with enhanced people. We've just never had anyone stupid enough to try and shut us down until the Avengers were formed.

So we needed to get close. Which is why my son dated you. But now, we don't have any purpose for you." Luther said and I looked at Bucky, Luther was waving a gun around. How could I not have seen it?

"You know the team is on their way, why not eliminate us earlier?" I asked.

"We tried but you escaped. But now, I have no use for you." Kyle said and took out a gun.

He pointed it at me and fired.

"Ah fuck." I let out a cry, and looked at my shoulder. I really shouldn't have looked. It made me feel sick.

"Have fun watching your partner die." They both said. But then Kyle stuck his head in before leaving. "It's obvious you like her Barnes, you two are both horrible you deserve each other!" He shouted then left

I felt pain all throughout my body but it was bearable. "Bucky don't listen to him. I don't think you're horrible."

I felt blood drip down my chest and onto my dress. This was very uncomfortable.

I closed my eyes and leaned back. "Fuck this shit hurts." I mumbled and looked at Bucky. His face was blank. I couldn't even tell what was racing through his mind.

"I need a distraction." I mumbled and he was panicking, I could see it in his eyes.

"Okay then, I have a distraction for you then. Was I your first kiss since 1945?" I asked and he nodded. That made me feel better.

"Yes, when we get out of here, how about we do that more often?" He said and I blushed. Even when I'm bleeding out all over myself, he still can make me blush.

"I'd like that." I smiled and he eyed my shoulder. I looked at him closer and realized he was sweating.

"Why are you sweating? You seem nervous, don't be scared we always get out alive."

"I'm not worried about getting out of here, I'm worried for you, I can't let you die on my watch."

"I won't Bucky." I said and the door busted open. The guards all started firing and Bucky immediately broke free from the chains and untied me.

"Wait Bucky." I said and he looked at me intently. "Yes doll?" He said and I leaned in and kissed him quickly, but passionately.

"I just wanted to do that one more time before I pass out." I said and he smiled.

"I'll get you home. Just close your eyes." He said and I did.

Bucky Barnes Point of View:

She kissed me yet again and I smiled. I think I just found my new favorite hobby.

She closed her eyes and I picked her up. She was bleeding a lot, I needed to get her out of here but I also wanted to kill Luther and Kyle, she's too important though. B

I will have to do that later, for now. I'm getting her to safety

Steve handed me a gun. "The ship is on the roof, Natasha and I will handle it down here. Go!" He yelled and I sprinted to the roof with her in my hands. Her blood was on my hands. "No no no." I mumbled

I climbed I to the ship and placed her gently on the table and applied pressure. Her lips were dry, she seemed so peaceful.

I leaned down and brushed some hair off her face. She was a little sweaty around here forehead and I smiled.

If you saw her, you'd understand why I think she's so beautiful. She's not only gorgeous but she's funny and she's always been nice to me.

She was perfect in my eyes and finding out she thought the same of someone else... Well it hurts, a lot.

I don't know if I love her or not. But I know she's the most important thing to me besides Steve. I would do anything for her, I looked at her and feel normal. I feel happy around her and the only reason I haven't actually admitted to liking her for so long was because I thought it'd be easier to have her as a friend than not have her at all.

I wouldn't be the same if I lost her. I need her in my life.

Looking at her bleeding body, knowing she was helpless right now didn't make me feel good. She was always so happy and that's what got me through most missions.

Knowing she still sees the good left in the world even when I can't.

"How is she?" Natasha asked and shoved me out of the way while she helped to stop the bleeding.

"She should be fine, but we need to get to a hospital." She said and I looked down at Scarlet.

We flew off and headed to the closest hospital. "Where are Luther and Kyle? I swear if I see them I'll bash their skulls in!" I yelled and Steve put a hand on my shoulder.

"They got away..." Steve said and I was so angry I was frozen! I couldn't move because of how fucking upset I was.

"Just do everything to find them. I can't think about this right now." I said and Steve sighed.

"I'm sorry pal, we did everything we could."

"I know, it's fine. We will catch them another time." I said and focused on Scarlet. She was shifting a lot in her sleep. She was probably so uncomfortable.

---

She went into surgery and now we were waiting for her to get up. The other two went to the cafeteria to grab us some food.

I was sitting in a chair right next to her, holding onto her hand.

She looked better than before now, the color was back to her face and she was stable.

I decided to close my eyes for a few minutes.

"Bucky?" A soft dry voice croaked. I opened my eyes to see Scarlet smiling at me.

I leaned in and hugged her, "Did they get away?" She asked. I sucked in air and nodded.

"But I promise you I'll catch both of them."

She didn't say anything after that. I could tell she was deep in thought

"How long have you been here? You look horrible." She asked and I pretended to be offended.

"Since yesterday." I admitted. "You're so sweet, I'll be fine, go shower and eat something I'll be okay." She said and I shook my head no.

"Can I just stay in here a little longer?" I asked and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Of course. And I would've never made it out of there if it weren't for you." She smiled and grabbed my hand.
