Screams she could hear screaming and yelling all around her and something about the way the voices screamed out made her opened her eyes and she had to move a hand over her eyes, but it was not from the sunlight that was normally op around this time. No, it was from the dust and smoke that was covering the sky above her. She wondered what had happened as she tried to get back onto her feet, but just like everyone around her, she let out a scream from the pain she felt as her feet touched the ground beneath her.
She sat back down so she could check her leg out and in doing so, here eyes goes wide as she sees her left leg was covered in blood, she moves her upper body forward to get a better look and she sees a large wound, but what she sees next makes her move her hand over her mouth to make sure she doesn´t vomit until she can move her head, but the second she moves her head she can feel the vomit quickly moving up her throat.
"Oh god." She wiped away the vomit that was on her chin and she sees that most of it was blood and she knew that was never a good sign.
"Sarah!"
The woman turned her head too the side as she heard a voice calling out her name, but the voice sounds so far away.
"Sarah!" The voice called out again.
"Here!" She yelled out moving a hand over her head, she didn´t exactly know why she did it cause she was not sure who were yelling, she shook her head cause she was not even sure she was Sarah person, but she could use some help so she answered the desperate voice anyways.
"I got her!" A man´s voice yelled out from somewhere near her, she moved a hand back over her eyes as she looked around, but she was having a hard time seeing anything cause the dust and smoke were starting to fall down around her, but all of the sudden she sees a tall man running towards her with a worried look on his face and the second her reached her, he fall down on his knees beside her and he placed a hand on each side of her face.
"Are you okay?" The man asked with a scared look on his face as he sees her just sitting there staring back at him with a lost look on her eyes.
"Sarah, are you okay?" The man asked as he snapped his fingers in front of her face to make her focus on him and when she looks into his eyes, he sees a confused look on her face like she was trying to figure something out.
The doctor held out his hands, hoping to calm Howard down, but he knew from experience that dealing with people of the loves one that was on his table there was always dose that acted out in fear and Howard Stark was not better than any of them.
"The bullet perforated a section of Miss Stark´s liver and a part of her lung. Fortunately it didn´t penetrate either organ and we were able to extract the bullet and remove any damaged tissue. She is stable now and i have given her some fluids, her body needs time to recover from the blood loss. You got here just in time a few more hours and their would have been nothing i could have done for her."
"But!?" asked not liking the fact that the doctor could not look him in the eyes.
The doctor sighed as he looked towards the four men that stood behind Stark and the woman in their dirty uniforms and just like every man and women in the military, he knew who the four men was.
"What is that in your hand?" The man asked her as he slowly moves his hand down her shoulder and down her arm until he reach her hand and he sees a sliver sticking out between her closed fist.
"Sarah, what do you have in your hand?" The man asked again as he moved his hand around her fist and gives it a soft squeeze.
The woman had been in some kind of daze until she felt a hand squeeze her hand and she was snapped back to reality and she turned her head back to the man that was sitting in front of her and she could see his lips were moving, but she could not hear what he was saying.
"What?" She asked as she quickly looked over her shoulder as she once again could hear people screaming all around her.
"Sarah are you are hurt." The man said as he looked down at her to check her out cause he could see by the look in her eyes that he was not going to get an answer from her anytime soon.
"Oh god, Sarah." The man said as he sees the blood that is running down her left leg, he moves his hand down her pant leg to make sure she didn´t have broken anything and he only stop touching her leg when she lets out a hiss from his touch.
"Sarah you need to lee me look at your leg." The man said told her as he moved his hand down her leg and a confused look showed on his face as he sees her backing away from him.
"Sarah what are you doing?" The man asked as he reached his hand out towards her and she kept on trying to back away from him.
"You need to let me help you." The man said as he tried to stop her from moving to much and make the wound on her leg worse.
"Who are you?" The woman asked as she slapped his hand away from her and she moved her head to see if there was anyone else around cause the man was starting to scare her.
"What do you mean, who i am?" He asked with a confused look on his face as he sat back down on his legs as he started at her." It´s me Howard."
"Sarah." The man she know knew was named Howard looked at her with a sad look on his face as he once again reached out his hand towards her, but before she could open her mouth to tell him to stay away from her. A loud explosion could be heard close to them and before she could react, she sees Howard moves his body over hers just as another explosion went off.
"Howard!" A woman´s voice yelled out from between the loud explosions that going off around them.
"Here. Over here!" Howard yelled out as he raises his hand over his head as he kept his body covering his baby sister so he could make sure she was safe from anything that might fall down on them.
"Is she okay?" Howard hears the woman asked as he feels her hand on his shoulder. Howard lifted his head so he could look up at the woman that was standing there looking down at him.
"Howard we have to..." Howard and the woman turned their head towards Sarah as the hears the sound of someone vomiting and the both get a nervous look on their faces as the sees Sarah wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and the nervous looks on their faces changed when to scared looks as they see the blood.
"Sarah are you okay?" A bigger looking man asked as he walked towards her with two others following closely behind him.
The man reached them and just like Howard had done, he gets down on his knees in front of her and he reached his hand out towards her and just like Howard he gets a confused look on his face as she moves away from his touch.
"Sweetheart."
Sarah tried to get away from all of the people that was around her cause she didn´t know any of them and she slapped the bigger man´s hand away as once again tried to touch her.
"Don´t touch me!" She screams out in fear.
"Sarah.."
The woman tried to touch her and just like with the two men she slaps the woman´s hand away and a second later she had turned away from the four people that stood there looking at her. She tried to get to her feet, but in doing so she lets out a scream from the pain in her leg and she feels herself falling down as the four people calls out her name, but she dosen´t hear anything cause she eyes closed just before she hit the ground, leaving her alone in the darkness.
...48 Hours later...
"What do you mean she is not waken up!" A scared Howard Stark yelled at the doctor that was standing before him.
"Howard you need to calm down." The woman said as she placed her hand on his elbow so she could pull him away from the doctor.
"This is my sister we are talking about Peggy!" Howard yelled as he pulled his elbow out of her grab so he could turn back to the doctor.
The doctor held out his hands in front of him, hoping to calm Howard down, but he knew from experience that dealing with the people of the loved one that was on hi stable there was always does that acted out of fear and Howard Stark was no different.
"The bullet perforated Miss Stark´s liver and a part of her lung. Fortunately it didn´t penetrate either organ and we were able to extract the bullet and remove any damage tissue. She is stable now and we have given her some fluids, her body will need time to recover from the blood loss. You got here just in time a few more hours and there would have been nothing i could have done for her."
"But!?" Howard didn´t like the fact that the doctor could not look him in the eyes.
The doctor hang his head before he turned to the four men that stood behind Stark and the woman in their dirty uniforms and just like every man and woman in the military he knew who the four men was.
"However from the blood loss or shock or both, she has slipped into a comatose state during the surgery and any attempt we have made, she is not waken up and in my professional opinion she will wake up when her body is ready."
"Oh in your professional opinion." Howard said with a laugh." Why, don´t you just admit that you don´t know squat about what is happening to her! She will wake up. Just do your job and make sure nothing else goes wrong!" Howard yelled.
The doctor grew solemn and nodded his head before he turned and left the room, leaving the 6 people in the room standing there looking at each other and a few second later Howard walked out of the room.
"Where are you going!?" Peggy yelled as she ran out of the room and she hurried down the hallway, hoping to catch up to Howard before he did something stupid.
Dugan sat in a chair beside Sarah´s bed and he didn´t know what to do so he did the only thing that came to his mind and that was to take her small hand in between his large ones.
"Hey, sweetheart. I hope you can hear me. It wont be the same with out you here, you do know that right?" Dugan said with a sad smile on his face.
"I know that Bucky made Cap promise him that if something were to happen to him that he would make sure you were safe and with Cap gone to it is up to us to make sure you are safe." Dugan said with a laugh as he looked up at her sleeping face.
"By the looks at you, we failed in doing so." Dugan gave her hand a soft squeeze as he continue to talk to her." What were you doing out there by yourself?"
"Because of this." Dugan heard Peggy saying from behind him, he turned his head over his shoulder to see her holding something in her hand and from the looks of it, it looked like dog tags.
"They are Bucky´s." Peggy said as she reached the dog tags out for him to see.
"That can´t be." Dugan said as he took the tags into his hand so he could look for himself and sure enough written on them was Bucky´s full name.
"Someone sent her Bucky´s dog tags. Someone wanted her out there." Peggy said.
"Why?" Dugan didn´t understand why someone would sent her, but what really sacred him was the fact that someone had them cause Bucky where wearing them when he fall from the train.
"I don´t.." Peggy stopped what she was going to say next as she sees two men dressed in white walking the door and walks straight towards the bed Sarah was laying in.
"What do you two thing you are doing?" Peggy asked as she sees the two men taking a hold of the bed as they pushed it forwards.
"Mister Stark´s orders." One of the men said as he pulled a piece of paper out of the pocked of his pants and showed it to her.
"What is it?" Dugan asked as he walked over to stand behind Peggy so he could over her shoulder and see what was written on the piece of paper she held between her hands.
"Howard is having her shipped back to the stats and into the care of a doctor of his chose." Peggy said as she crumpled the piece of paper into a small ball and threw it across the room.
"And there is nothing we can do?" Jones asked as he blocked the two men from leaving the room with Sarah.
"No." Dugan said as he made a hand gesture and Jones moved to the side so the two men could push the bed out of the door.
"Are we just going to let this go?" Jones asked as he turned to Peggy and Dugan.
"No way in hell." Peggy said as she walked out of the room and down the hallway of the hospital cause there was no way she was going to lose her best friend she had already lost Steve.
Peggy was going to do everything in her power to find out who had sent Sarah, Bucky´s dog tags, she just didn´t know in that very moment it would take her 70 years to figure out the truth about what had happened to Sarah or what had happened to Bucky after that fateful day, he had falling from the train.
