"Falling in love is easy. Falling in love with the same person repeatedly is extraordinary - Crystal Woods
"You're beautiful, doll." A giggles left her lips as she spun into his arms and kissed his stubble. She was much shorter than the man before her, and she loved it. She loved the feeling of his arms wrapping around hers tightly.
"You're such a charmer Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes." She stood on her tippy toes and kissed up his neck to meet his pouty lips.
"All the time, Miss Rogers." In the background, a scoff was heard from her brother. She turned and gave her brother Steve a dirty look.
"You two lovebirds done? Trying to listen to the game here." Another eye roll from her as she turned back to Bucky.
"He's just jealous doll." A wink from Bucky and another scoff from Steve.
"You'll meet the right dame sometime, Steve. It just hasn't happened yet." She pulled out of Bucky's arms and crossed the small apartment to stand beside her brother.
"Pauline said..." Her hand grabbed his and squeezed.
"Pauline Coreseth is a khaki whacky knucklehead who need her head reassessed." She heard a throaty chuckle from her soldier behind her, and gave him a quick look to shut his trap.
"She's right though, isn't she?" Her heart was breaking for her brother. What kind of heartless woman could be so rude to her wonderful brother?
"If she can't see what a wonderful and kind hearted man that you are Steve, then she get herself locked into a nutter." She crossed her arms and stood back.
Her brother coughed a few times and then shook his head. He was sick a lot as a child and it made him short and thin, but he was a handsome man, and he deserved a good woman.
"Bucky'll be leaving soon. Should spend time dancing with him instead of me." Her blue eyes, that almost exactly matched her brothers, narrowed.
"Bucky isn't leaving yet. He hasn't gotten his orders. It could be weeks." Bucky leaving was a sensitive subject, for both Steve and herself.
"But it could be soon. Why don't you and Bucky go watch a film? Or take a stroll down to the parlour?" Was Steve trying to get rid of her?
"Think Steve wants to be 'lone, dame. Let's go and give him some peace." She didn't want to leave. She was really worried about her brother and she wanted to be here for him. She had to be.
"Don't do anything stupid, punk." A smirk was on Bucky's handsome face, and directed to Steve.
"Take care of my sister, jerk." A rough hand grabbed hers and started to pull her along, away from her brother and towards the door to their apartment.
"Come on doll."
"No! No! Let me go! Let me go! Don't touch me!" She started thrashing against the arms holding her, grabbing her. She thrashed and kicked, her eyes wild and her mouth spewing insults and swears.
"Get her strapped in! Now!" She fought against the nails digging into her arms. She fought against everything holding her here.
"No! Steve! Bucky! Let me go! They are dead! They're killed! Steve! Bucky!" She was shoved into a chair and straps were placed on her wrists.
Before they could lock her into place, she jumped up and lunged for an orderly. She bit into his shoulders and dug in, desperate to get free.
"Bitch bit me!" An arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her off, throwing her to the ground. She continued to scream and screech, even as a different orderly climbed on top of her and pushed her arms to the side of her head.
"Get the needle ready!" She screamed and thrashed with all her might. She didn't want this! She wanted Steve and Bucky!
"I want Steve! Bucky! I want Bucky!" She got on arm loose and raised it towards the orderly and struck him on the cheek.
"You stupid bitch!" A hand was raised to hit her and she flinched, preparing for pain and impact, but when she looked, the orderly was screaming and writhing on the ground in pain.
"She's doing it again!"
"Lock her up!" She sat up and looked around, still wild eyed. Where was Steve? Where was Bucky?
"Got her!" An ear pierocing scream left her lips as a needle was stabbed into her neck. The world started turning fuzzy and then went dark.
"Bitch is out."
"Call him. It's time."
