Aurora glanced at Bucky for a moment, before looking away to not make the man uncomfortable, the girl glanced up to see Bucky tapping on the glass and shooting her a tired and gentle gaze. Bucky wanted to see the girl again, unlock the part of him that knew the girl, Bucky saw the fresh wounds on her face and arms. He was tortured enough to almost lose himself and not have human instincts but he worried for the girl. 

"Why did they take you?" He whispered, the girl chuckled morbidly, shaking her head and glanced back at the man. Bucky watched as she repositioned to face him, the brunette man watched her hesitate for a few moments, she took a sharp breath and rested her forehead on the glass. Aurora took a breath, and focused on him for a moment, watching him stare at her confused about what she was doing. 

The room went dark, and the only visible objects were their beds and themselves.

"Where are we? What are you doing!"

"They want me because I'm a freak. A mutant. I have abilities evolving around the mind and because of what I can do, they want me to hurt others and you. We're still in the cells, only I'm changing how you see it. They can't hear us talking, Bucky, I really don't want to hurt you. I already know that they've been hurting you for a very long time, please I do not want to hurt you."

Bucky nodded watching her from the other side of the glass, she took a breath, scared of his next reaction. He didn't freak out or yell again but nodded as he saw the pain in her eyes and glanced back to her arms.

"I know you from somewhere, you look so familiar, what can you do?" 

"Mind reading, mind control, memory reading, dream manipulation, mind communication, psychic torture and telekinesis." The girl explained, watching him nod and a look form in his eyes. 

"Can you show me my memories the ones of you?" Aurora nodded, she concentrated, going through Bucky's tortured mind and watched intently as she saw memories from his past. After showing him everything that involved her face, things from the 1920s-1940s. 

"I promised you my mind, soul and heart. We were going to get married, but you died. How is it that you look, sound and have the exact same as my fiance?" Bucky looked broken, the girl wished she knew but she didn't and she then jumped as Bucky placed a hand on the glanced.

"I think I am her, every night I dream about the 40s, of the life you had with her... me? I dream about the love you shared and how much cared for me- her?" Bucky nodded, now remembering fully the moments he had with her. 

"Aurora, I'm going to protect you, even if you aren't my Aurora... this place will break you and they'll destroy you if you don't listen." The man watched as his surroundings, changed back into the cells, Aurora glanced to the door as the food slid through a shoot and watched the same thing happen on Bucky's side. Aurora grabbed the food, sat on the bed and started eating her food. The girl placed the tray down, placed herself under the blankets and faced the glass. 

Bucky stared at her, he wished he could help her but he knew he couldn't not now at least. Aurora stared back at him, seeing the sleepless look in his eyes and frowned as he turned away. The next morning, Aurora had guards yanking her off the bed and forcing her to another room. Bucky was strapped to a chair, he had a look of refusal in his eyes, Aurora looked at the other men in the room and grunted as they shoved her closer to Bucky. 

"Torture his mind, I know you can do it, torture him." The girl turned to Bucky panicked, he didn't give her any reaction, yet she read his mind and clenched her eyes shut as he heard his approval. Bucky watched as she stared at him, focusing on his mind, Bucky flinched as he felt the girl do her best to hurt him while doing the least amount of damage. 

Aurora felt tears running down her eyes as Bucky started yelling in pain, she stopped as soon as he started convulsing in pain. The girl turned to the men as they muttered in disappointment, she screamed as they shocked her. They hit her with a rod, she buckled to the ground, and her cries continued to escape her lips as they continued to beat her with the rod. She tried crawling away as they didn't stop but they got Bucky to hold her down as they continued to harm her.

"Take the somnambul to room 7 and hoist her up." Aurora yelped as they took her to another room, tied her by her wrists and hoisted her in the air, leaving her to dangle around. A man, who she hadn't seen before walked in, her eyes welled with tears and she watched him grab a bat, he swung it at her and started beating her with it. Aurora was left heaving, left to dangle as her body was bruised and mangled. 

Bucky could hear her screams from his room, whatever was happening to her sounded excruciating and her screams were like death was near her. He listened to her screams for hours, he counted the hours, three hours had passed since the first ear-piercing scream and for those hours he waited for it to stop. 

By the fifth hour, they had tossed her into the room, and he thought she was dead, she didn't move for a good five minutes and he didn't even notice any breaths of air. He reached to bang on the glass, yet before he could he watched a very sudden and shaky breath escape her lips. 

"Aurora." He called out, she shook in her spot her arms shaking as she tried to push herself to the bed. Bucky followed her along the glass, coaching her to get up and make it to the bed. Aurora crawled under the blankets, facing away from the glass and started letting tears fall from her eyes. 

Bucky tried calling out again, tried asking her to face him so he could see the damage done, she shook her head and he could the quiet sniffles she made. He sat on the bed, unsure of what to do, it had been so long since he had contact with someone that wasn't with Hydra by choice, the brunette man rested his head against the glass and searched his memories for something to help comfort her.

"You know... I had dreams about you, I guess I never really forgot about you. I dreamt of being able to save you back in the 40s, I dreamt of starting a life with you, getting married and having kids. That was when they first got me, over time it became altered memories, ones that had holes in them but were otherwise real." Aurora carefully turned to face Bucky, he glanced down seeing the blood and bruises on her face, he knew she had more injuries he could tell from the blood on her clothes and the broken look she carried in her eyes.

"Do you think, that because of things that we said that we changed our lives?" Aurora nodded, humming softly as she shifted slightly, the girl pushed herself up and used the glass as support. 

"You promised me your mind and said I was a mind reader... now look at me, you've never forgotten me because they can't take away what I own and I can read minds now," Aurora whispered 

"What's a somnambul?"

"It's Romanian for dream walker." Aurora nodded, tears pooling in her eyes, Bucky watched as her eyes trailed off and he could see her staring off into space.
