A ray of sunlight coming through the window forced him to open his eyes. Bucky turned over in the bed to his side and saw a figure lying next to him. When he caught sight of her face, he smiled.
"Hey…" the nurse smiled warmly at him and lifted a hand to his face to caress his cheek. She leant in to plant a soft kiss on his lips. She drew away and he saw a red spot in the middle of her forehead. Bucky frowned as the stain grew wider to the size of a bullet hole and blood was coming out of it. The eyes of the nurse turned white and blood was dripping out of her mouth. Her hand moved to his neck and he started chocking.
Bucky startled awake, breathing heavily. "It was just a dream…" he sighed in relief. "Just another bad dream…" He got out of bed and got dressed to go for a jog and clear his head.
He was taking his fifteenth lap around the Avenger's headquarters, when he suddenly felt a strong headache. Flashes of the mysterious nurse hit him, as he grasped his head and tried to calm himself down. He fell down to his knees, the pain was unbearable. He let out a desperate scream as he saw the nurse´s face, scenes of her smiling at him repeating over and over in his head. The last image he saw was the nurse crying before it all faded to black.
"Buck! Buck, wake up! C'mon! Wake up!"
He fluttered his eyes open and saw Steve kneeling next to him. "This is getting old, you know" he groaned while sitting up. "How long was I out?" he scratched his head.
"Maybe an hour or so. I just found you… What happened?"
"I'm going crazy, Steve…" he sighed. "The nurse? I think I was in love with her…"
"You're daydreaming now?"
Bucky rolled his eyes. "No, I just… I was jogging and suddenly got this awful headache seeing flashes of her and then I guess I passed out"
"You need to see a doctor, Bucky"
"That's the last thing I wanna do and you know why"
"Fine, let's go inside so you can at least get some rest"
Bucky nodded and wrapped an arm around Steve's shoulder to help himself up off the ground.
