Come away to the water
She watched him sadly form the other side of the cell and felt compassion for the man who was lying in that cot and anger towards the monsters that put him there. And judging by his left arm HYDRA had great plans for him.
She knelt down beside him taking a good look at him, he was very handsome.
"Well fellow, it seems you are also trapped in here, I'm very sorry" and she really was because she knew he didn't deserved this.
She heard a deep groan in response and saw a pair of blue confused eyes staring at her, the man tried to get up just to cry out of pain caused by his left arm.
"Take it easy" she said as she placed her hand in his forehead, "I didn't thought you would wake up this soon, you look like you have been run over"
"Where are we?" the man asked with a confused look on his face while taking a look on the cell; the gray wasted walls, the very basic bathroom, the little table and another cot alongside his with a few sheets.
"I think that doesn't matter, but we are probably in soviet but as I said it doesn't matter, it's not like we are going to get out or something "she said sarcastically.
He tilted his head to see what was wrong with the pain in his arm and stared in horror at what was there instead. "What the fuck is this? What did you do to me? What…"
"Shhh, calm down, I will explain." She said calmly and moved to her own cot. "First of all I'm not here willingly and what I heard is that you lost your arm when you fell of a train and then they found you and brought you here, I have been taking care of you in the last few days"
"When you say they, who are you referring to?" he asked softly.
She just shrugged "don't worry, you will have plenty of time to figure it out, if they can find you some use maybe you will stay here for a long time" she got up and turned the single light bulb that hanged from the wasted celling.
He could do nothing but look at her, he noticed that she was beautiful, black tangled hair felled to her shoulders framing her silky white face, pink cheekbones and the bluest eyes he had ever seen, they were calm, probably too calm.
"Why are you telling me this as a matter of fact?" he was amused by her and by the way she just said that as if it was no surprise to her, she seemed no stranger to this kind of stuff.
"Because I have been here long enough to know this." Her face was now cold and serious, he didn't know a thing about the life that awaited him from now on, how could he?
"Hey, if we are going to stay trapped here together for a long time I think we should get to know each other, I'm Bucky" he mumbled.
"Keyla" he snorted at the response "well, it's an uncommon name for a German" he said and when she mumbled a "its Hebrew, I'm a Jew or I was" he took a moment to ask the next question and tried to decide whether to trust her or not.
"That's why are you here?" she half laughed
"I am here for many reasons" and with that said her eyes started to turn bright red and the background around them suddenly changed.
The gloomy cell started to turn into a beautiful spring forest.
Bucky could feel the sunlight in his skin, the smell of the pine trees and the singing of the birds. He stared in awe at what he was looking.
Keyla thought about how harmless that was and wondered how she was still capable of that. "Beautiful, isn't it?" she said.
Bucky could not see her and when he turned to the origin of her voice he found her leaning on a pine tree wearing a white dress that had nothing to do with the grey one she was wearing a few moments ago.
"How can you do this?" he asked in an amazed whisper. "Are you a witch or something?"
Keyla smiled at him. "Psychic could be a better term to describe me."
In the blink of an eye the background went back to normal and the beauty of the forest stayed in his mind, where it had been all along.
"It was all an illusion." He mumbled "what else can you do? Read minds? Move stuff without touching it?"
Keyla shrugged "Yes but also more things" she said as her eyes turned back to blue.
A moment of silence came before he asked. "For how long have you been here?"
The smile that crept on her face became a serious expression that she shrugged away. "I don't really know, four years maybe." But Bucky wasn't fooled, he could see the pain in her eyes.
"Who did this to you, and to me? Who are the people behind this?" he asked in a whisper and didn't expected an answer but didn't surprised when he got one.
Keyla looked deeply into his eyes. Blue crashed with blue as a memory in his mind started to appear. Then he saw everything that happened before this in a flash.
Faces and places flashed through his eyes, he saw Steve, the train, his team, the robot, the fall, the pain and then the voices, strange voices that didn't reach him except one and all it said was:
"Sargent Barnes, you will be the new fist of HYDRA"
Suddenly he heard a voice in his head. "You remember them, they are the people you have been fighting to stop, they are the ones who stared this war and took you away from your home and away from your best friend." The expression in Keyla's face was like nothing he had ever seen, she seemed like in a trance, looking into his eyes very intensely.
"HYDRA" Bucky thought and Keyla nodded her head.
"What happened to you?" neither of them moved their lips, they just stood there looking at each other.
"Fun story, I tried to save my life but failed and then I became HYDRA'S gem. I'm afraid something like that will happen to you. If you are here it's because they have some big plans for you."
"Weapons" he said out loud breaking the trance. "Yes" she simply said.
"I won't let them" he replied and she just looked at him with blank face. "Then you will die a fool, this is out of our hand"
Bucky could not believe her, she gave up and she let them tame control over her, of her freedom and her will.
"Why did you gave up" he asked and never knew that the response she'd give would shock him.
"Because I'm not like you, HYDRA has taken everything away from me, there is no one left that I love and no purpose to keep fighting"
"I do have people that I love, so I will fight, just like he would do" he looked at her with serious face.
"Well, let's see how that turns out" her eyes were cold but there was also something else and Bucky could see it: relief and he did nothing but understand, he understood her loneliness and her relief because she wasn't going to be alone from now on.
Keyla was no stranger to sorrow and suffering, since life took everything she had when she was just sixteen years old.
In 39' she was forced to run away to Amsterdam with her family and then the Gestapo took them away from her a year later. She survived by herself for several months using nothing but the powers that saved her back then.
She was good at it, she only needed a touch, a whisper or a move of her hand to place her victims into unconsciousness and even mind control. She'd grow arrogant, losing her morals with each day and only caring to survive.
That's when they found her, more than ten agents chased her and she was forced to kill them with telekinesis, she made their bodies twist and burn in pain.
HYDRA found about that and within a few days she lost her freedom and landed in the hands of Arim Zola and became HYDRAS'S gem.
Of course she fought, killing several people in the process and that worked only to increase their interest in her.
Zola tested and experimented with her to figure out how powerful she was and when he figure it out his main plan was to unleash those powers.
Keyla didn't know the full extent of her power, she knew she could do much more with them but it only ended badly.
He tried to control her powers and failed, he tried to recreate them and failed only making her scream in pain with the experiments.
Then Zola found out the key to unleash her true power: pain and anger.
And so they tortured her in the most sadistic ways that made her scream, reveling the true red of her eyes and releasing the killer that lived inside her.
Years passed and all hope and kindness in her was lost only to replace it with rage as she grew stronger. She was Ruthless and cruel but also broken and lonely.
But that was until she looked into Bucky's eyes that she felt a little warmth in her chest, waking a feeling that died long ago for the twenty year old.
She hoped that HYDRA wouldn't kill the fire in his eyes, but she knew that they always find a way to ruin good things and people.
