A/N: I am very sorry for being as inactive as I have, it is because my life suddenly became very hectic and now that it's calmed down a little, I'm back to posting. So, to make up for my inactiveness, I will be posting a new chapter every Monday and Friday. Enjoy!


Bucky

The Sokovian girl seems nice. But I have learned my lesson in respects to trusting people.

We're sitting in what she calls "the rec room". The Sokovian is sitting across from me, her eyes darting from the TV in the corner of the room to me and to her feet.

She tells me a little about the facility (built last year, over a hundred acres of surrounding land, over ninety rooms and home to former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Avengers) and how New York has changed since the last time I was there.

I mostly listen, sometimes responding or nodding.

"Do you remember anything about HYDRA?" She asks suddenly. I hesitate.

"Not much." I finally say. "I remember a few words…. And then cold, but not much."

The Sokovian nods slowly. "They mentioned you a few times." I raise an eyebrow. She takes a deep breath.

"We- I used to be one of them. I… er… got pulled off the streets for testings. And, well, here we are now."

I don't respond. She doesn't say anything else either.

"Hey Wanda!" A man says as he walks past us. "Heya Sam!" The Sokovian replies. She turns back to me, explaining that Sam's one of the Avengers.

"Falcon, I remember him." I say and she looks back up at the TV.

"New York is beautiful." She says. I notice her attempt to keep fluent English.

"Это действительно так." I respond in Russian. The Sokovian looks surprised for a moment, then relieved.

"Единственный раз, когда я был там в прошлом году. Но я беру завтра." She says.

I hear a beeping noise and the Sokovian reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small device. "It's a friend. I've gotta go." She says, standing up.

"You'll be fine, right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll see you later I guess."

"I guess." I respond as she walks away.

This is true

The only time I've been there was last year. But I'm taking you tomorrow
