"Maria!" I exclaimed as she deliberately ignored me, "Maria! Why on earth won't you listen to me!" "Why do you think?!" she lashed back, "I'm a monster Bucky, I'm not even human anymore!" "Hey," I said putting my hand on her shoulder, "you're not alone, not in any of this, I'm a monster too. I've been brainwashed, turned into a living weapon, been torn apart and put back together, I didn't know my best friend for 70 years of my life." "So," Maria replied, "I'm like you, a absolute piece of junk that everyone throws away, when they're done with "it", I'm tossed aside and forgotten." "No Maria," I replied, "people love you, you're second command at SHIELD and you're one of the smartest people in the world and everyone is blessed to know you. But it's a curse to know me. I've killed over 800 people for HYDRA over the last 70 years. And I love you for being the light in my dark crooked heart. I don't care what you look like you could be a zombie for all I care! I will always love you." She looked at me and I knew that was what she needed to hear right now. "I love you," I said as I brushed the glossy jet black hair from her face, "I've always have, since the moment I laid eyes on you." She then came to me and hugged me. "Bucky, please don't leave me. I don't want to lose the one person who has hope in me." I looked at her, "I can't make promises I can't keep, but I promise that I will find a cure for Dracula's curse, no matter what." Then I heard a scream sounding like Natasha's. "Nat!!" Hill screamed. We ran over to where Steve and Nat were. When I got there and I saw Steve on the floor and a mysterious figure standing next to him, "Rogers you caused this ailment to me, and I have never forgiven you." "Who are you?" I asked as I saw Hill go over to Steve's body. "He's alive, but he is fading." "What do you want?" I asked the mystery man. "I'm here to pick you up for Dracula. Hurry up you have two minutes." I went over to Hill and kissed her forehead. "Good bye my light" I saw my leaving would break her but we made a deal. I looked at Nat, "see you soon?" She smiled and nodded. I went over the huge vampire, "I'm ready" The mysterious man looked at Natasha, "So how does it feel to be like me, this is what happens when you betray your team." "Who are you?" Nat said in a shaky voice. "You haven't guessed yet?" the man said, he removed his hood. We all gasped in horror, it was James Rhodes, War Machine and Tony's best friend.
