Note: Sooooo this was such a hard chapter to write. To make up for how long it took I made this one longer! Well gonna go start on the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 6: Warrior

After going from the van to a plane we arrive at what I assume is our final destination.

"Welcome home Sarah." The man states looking out the window at the snowy mountain peaks.

"Where are we?" I ask dazed from my long overdue nap.

"Siberia."

I glance out the window as the plane skids to a stop along the snow covered ground. I've never been to Siberia but I imagine I would enjoy it more under different circumstances.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" the man asks reading my expression.

"Maybe if I wasn't going to die here I'd enjoy it more." I scoff at him.

"Well, it will be a beautiful place to die then."

As we exit the plane the swirling winds stings my face. I close my eyes and exhale imagining that the piercing cold is warm rays of sunshine hitting my skin. Before I can finish enjoying my vision I'm shoved into another van. This ride is shorter than the last and it carries us higher into the mountain top.

The facility is a large cement building that stands unyielding against the snow. I shiver at the thought of this being the last thing I see. I want to fight and runaway but I have no other options. I'm tired. Tired of running, tired of fighting, maybe even just tired of life. If this was my fate then maybe I should accept it.

"Take her away. We will need to start the transition soon. Her body won't last much longer with the Vibranium running through her." The well-dressed man states to several 'doctors'.

"Wait where am I going?" I scream as they carry me off.

I'm drug through the corridors, as my feet slide across the floor I begin to hear it. The screams. They comes from all directions getting louder with each step they take. The souls of the tormented surround every corridor. As we approach my cell the noise is almost unbearable. I'm quickly thrown into the empty cemented room.

"WAIT-" and before I can finish the door is thrown closed on my face.

"You can't just leave me here.." I cry into the dark.

The ground is damp and I shiver at my surroundings. There's a small cot on one side of the room and a single toilet. I begrudgingly walk over to small cot and cry. These past few months I've cried more than I ever have in my entire life. I didn't cry when my mother turned to drugs and alcohol over the loss of my brother. I didn't cry when I realized my dad was never going to come back into my life. And I certainly shouldn't start now. I'm a fighter. A warrior.

"Get it together, Sarah." I mutter closing my eyes. I lay down on the hard cot staring into the abysmal darkness of the room. My body gives in to the overwhelming fatigue that I feel and sleep quickly washes over me.

"SARAH." A voice shouted into the void.

Bucky? I think scrunching my face.

"Bucky! I'm here! I'm over here!" I scream getting off my feet and running to his voice.

I'm running fast into the pitch dark until I see him.

"Bucky.." I breathe to the figure.

He turns and his blue eyes illuminate my world. He hugs me tightly and smiles.

"Sarah. You need to make it out of here. I need you. I nee-"and before he can finish he begins to disappear, slowly turning to dust. I reach out to hold his hand and it disintegrates in mine.

"Bucky, no!" I scream trying to latch on to him before he completely leaves me.

A dark laugh disturbs the silence surrounding me.

"That's too bad, isn't it?" The voice states mocking me.

"I need you. I need you. How pathetic."

Rage fills my body as I stand defiant to the voice. After months of being tormented by the voice in the dark I'd had enough.

"Who are you? You coward! Show yourself!" I yell into the darkness.

That's when I see him. His armor glistening gold armor illuminating the darkness. He stood taller than any human with the most vibrant blue eyes. I stand defiant towards the giant in front of me, refusing to show my fear, but none the less I was captivated by his prowess.

"I am no coward my daughter." The voice states walking towards me.

"Wh-who are you?" I ask, although my voice is trembling I refuse to back down from him.

"Thanos." He states simply.

Well that helped me a lot. I guess I should have asked a more detailed question. Like what the fuck are you doing in my head?

"Those answers will all come in due time little one." He states reading my mind.

Thanos approaches me, circling me like prey. He stands in front of me before kneeling to my height.

"You are a warrior." He states cupping his large hand around my face while tracing my scar with his thumb.

"And I am in need of a warrior like you."

"And if I don't want to be your 'warrior'?" I ask yanking my face away from his grip.

"You will. Especially after this." He state solemnly before getting up and walking back into the darkness.

Sweat covers my back as I jolt awake from my vivid nightmare. Before I can even process what happened the door to my room slams open.

"Get up, now!" the guard yells before ripping me up from my bed and throwing me out of the room.

I'm pulled through the hallway, and several corridors before we reach our final destination.

"Strip her down." A voice yells as the guards begin tugging my clothing off.

"Get off me!" I scream punching the closest guard to me.

The guard reciprocates my punch with a hard swipe to my face knocking me down. I scream and claw at the people yanking my clothes off until I lay bare on the damp floor my brain thundering in my head. Moments later a freezing spray engulfs me. The cold water pierces though my body and chills my bones.

"Get her up. And dress her."

I stand to numb to even fight off the guards as they dress me in a hospital gown my dark brown hair clinging down my back.

In what seems like seconds I'm strapped down on a hospital table. Surrounded by high tech medical equipment I've never seen before. Large vials of blue stand beside me, as the lights switch on blinding me momentarily.

"Experiment #119 will begin now. Patient has already been previously exposed to Vibranium so we must begin procedure now to avoid another experimental failure." The doctor says to the crowded room.

"Begin injection of Vibranium blue."

And with that the pain begins. The large needles surrounding me impale all sides of my body, and a blue liquid is injected into my body. The pain is unbelievable as the Vibranium burns through my body. I scream as my body convulses with each shock wave.

"Vital signs are increasing. Heartbeat is becoming unstable. The patient may not make it."

"Keep going." A voice says in my haze.

Please just let me die. Death where are you? I think. I feel the coldness of you hovering over me. After what feels like an eternity in agony, I hear another voice call out instructions

"Kill me, please." I mutter fuzzily.

"Final wave of injections being administered now."

With the final wave the injection goes through my skull. My head throbs as the pain sears its way through. My blood curdling screams rips through the air as the Vibranium courses through my body. The heat is too much I want to claw at my skin to get it out. The pain. The pain is unbearable. All I feel. My body fights against the Vibranium as it attacks and destroys all my cells. I slip in and out of consciousness again. This time I feel deaths' cold grip around my hand, I'm losing this battle. The darkness surrounds me while the pain engulfs my body. I sit in the emptiness welcoming it like an old friend.

"Take me, please!" I yell to it, "I can't do this! Take me away from this…please"

"You will not die here my daughter," I hear Thanos whispering in my ear, "Be a warrior and FIGHT."

"Embrace the power. Let it mold you. Let it over take you. Surrender yourself to the power. And you will never be weak again. You will NEVER feel like this again." And with his last words he shoves me out of the darkness and into the light.

I awake quickly from my subdued state. Screaming I rip the harnesses off my body. My body illuminates the entire room as my power surges through my body. The Vibranium pumps through my form coursing through my veins. It has molded me. Over taken me. And controls me. The rage over powers me and I see red.

Moments later I stumble from the lab. I groggily come to my senses as alarm bells ring in my ears. I look down and see nothing but blood. I hold up my sickly bright red hands and see a slight blue radiating from my hands. The stench of iron fills the air as I taste the metal in my mouth. I stand momentarily shocked before I run. I begin to run past the tormented screams that are begging for mercy and I stop.

I can't leave them here, I think to myself. I look at the first cell and bang on the door.

"Hello!" I scream at the door.

I can't wait forever so I pull on the handle. It rips off the door without much effort and I throw the door open. Inside is nothing more than what looks like sticks and bones. A shell of who this person was. The gunfire is getting closer to the current cell. That's it. If I can't save them all I will save one. I sprint over to the young woman and throw her over my shoulder. She futilely fights off my attempt to grab her and with that we're off. I'm running faster than I thought was humanly possible and within seconds we're close to the entrance.

"My dear where do you think you're going?" the well-dressed man calls to me from the balcony above the door.

"Klaue was right. You are a fighter."

"Move. Or I'll make you." I state, defiantly staring the man down.

"Oh, this will be fun." The man smirks as he launches himself off the balcony crushing the concrete beneath him.

The man stands slowly before he glances up and I see his piercing red eyes. The man stretches up ripping his dress shirt off in the process exposing pulsing veins of red. I stare disturbed at the image in front of me.

"It's been a long time since I had an equal fight." He states, cracking his neck slightly to the side.

I gently lay the woman down in a corner and roll my shoulders back as I walk slowly towards him. If it's a fight he wants then it's a fight he'll get. I slowly shift into my fighting stance and the man lunges towards me. I quickly roll out of the way of the punch as he shatters the concrete pillar behind me.

"Ah come on now Sarah. That punch wouldn't have killed you." He laughs, mocking me.

Well shit, If that wouldn't have killed me what would?

He spins quickly launching another viscous attack on me. His body surges red as his next punch connects with my body throwing me across the room. I smash into the concrete wall and dodge his secondary hit. The spot where my head was is demolished by his punch. I throw a quick punch that connects to his jaw and I hear a crack. I back up slowly as the man turns around laughing. He grabs his jaw shoving it back into place with a loud snap.

"Not a bad hit. But you could do better." He smirks before charging at me.

The man smashes his knuckles across my face before he delivers a quick kick to my gut shoving me against the wall. The pain sears through my body from his brutal attack. My body begins to illuminate slightly as the Vibranium surges through me.

"Come on now! Let's see that power!" He yells before his body begins erupting red. Every vein in his body bulges out as the red serum pulses through it.

I scream launching myself at him as the blue light illuminates the room. I connect a hard punch to the man's side as blue light explodes from my hands. I throw another punch that shatters through a pillar. The foundation begins to crumble as rubble falls from the rafters, but I don't stop. I throw myself at the man landing punch after punch. He stumbles slightly and I take my chance. With my full force I throw the man on his back before I begin a brutal assault on top of him. I just hit and hit and hit. The concrete beneath his head gives way and then he laughs.

"Doesn't it feel good? All that power?" he states staring at me as his red diminishes away.

I sit on top of him with my eyes glowing blue when I stop. This isn't me. I am not him. I look around at the carnage of the facility. The room is falling apart and the beams are beginning to fall. I quickly get off him and run to the woman in the corner grabbing her.

"You may leave this place Sarah, but it will always be a part of you," he screams as I run towards the door dodging debris, "ALWAYS!" he calls out before I run out the door as the facility crashes down behind me.

I stand in silence at the top of the Siberian Mountain inhaling the crisp air, my hospital gown flapping slightly in the wind. The wind bristled against my skin without the sting of the cold, and the noises around me seemed amplified. I shift the brittle bones of the young woman into another position. Would she even make it if I made the trek down the mountain? I sat her down gently and looked at her cautiously.

"Can you speak? What's your name?" I ask her quietly.

I glance quizzically at the young woman in front of me she looked to be about my age, but from her withered appearance seemed much younger. I wasn't even sure if she could speak English, or talk at all for that matter. There was no telling how long she had been subjected to the torment of those I was waiting for an answer from the silent woman I heard a noise in the distance. It was the faintest hum and I could barely register the sound. My newly enhanced body was detecting what my human side would never have noticed.

I look up quickly and see it. A jet circling the mountain seemingly looking for the landing strip. The landing strip was close to us maybe about 10 minutes away. If I could hijack the plane then we could get off this god-forsaken mountain. Not that I knew how to fly, but I'm sure I could learn? Hopefully.

"Hey I know you're scared," I state looking at the young woman, "but I need you to trust me, okay?"

The young woman looked up at me and for the first time acknowledged me. She stared at me and nodded slowly as her dull eyes sparked up with what little fight was left in them.

"Good. We'll need a plan to get that plane." I say glancing down as the plane began its descent.

My new friend and I, whose name I had yet to learn, managed to get down to the mountain right as the plane was about to land. I remind my companion of the plan as I placed her quickly behind a rock away from any danger. I would hopefully be able to fight off anything that got off the plane.

"Don't worry. I'll be right back. No one will hurt you, okay?" I say noticing her worried expression.

I smile at the young woman in front of me, reassuring her that I would not just leave her. She nodded slowly at me seeming to comprehend what I was saying. I quickly ran off behind the mountain to hide as the plane landed. I sat hunched on top of a hill above the plane and shivered slightly from nerves. The door to plane opened and the stairs lowered to the ground. I sat up higher getting ready to attack whoever came off the plane.

I began to slowly move toward the plane as one man quickly began walking down the stairs and that's when I saw it. The vibrant red white and blue shield stood in stark contrast against the barren white snow. I stood swiftly while muttering, "Cap?"

And then I saw him. The silver arm glistening as it caught the sun ever so slightly. I couldn't hold back any longer and yelled out.

"Bucky!" I called out at the top of my lungs.

He turned swiftly at the sound and stared hard, almost not believing what he was seeing. There in the snow covered peaks of a Siberian mountain I stood as my flimsy hospital gown flitted in the wind.

Bucky took several steps in my direction before I heard him quietly mumble, "Sarah?"

And that's when I ran. I sprinted down the hillside with lightning fast reflexes and smashed right into him. Bucky caught me quickly in a tight hug, gently lifting me up while kissing the top of my head.

"Sarah. Where did you go? I was so worried I had hurt you. What happened to you? Why are you here?" Bucky pulled away from me and began bombarding me with questions.

"Get inside the plane. You'll die out here. God. Why are you here?" Bucky couldn't stop asking me a million questions as he began pulling me onto the plane.

"Wait!" I say yanking my hand out of Bucky's death grip, "I have someone you need to help."

And with that I run off and grab my friend from behind the rock. Whatever serum they had injected into her was keeping her alive, barely.

"We need to help her!" I call out as walk back to them.

Captain America quickly closes the gap between us and gently looks at the girl in question.

"Come on. We can sustain her aboard the plane, but it won't last forever."

I follow Captain America into the ship as Bucky follows behind me. I shift her onto the lab table and squeeze her hand gently as Captain America walks back over with some sort of shot.

"You're okay. These are the good guys." I state noticing her worried expression towards what Captain America was administering to her.

In seconds she's asleep. Probably the first real sleep she's experienced in a long time. With that Bucky and Captain America shift their full attention, and worry toward me. I blush slightly at the realization that I am still in nothing but a hospital gown.

"Before you guys ask any question can I get some clothes. Please." I ask blushing as both men glance down realizing that I'm barley dressed.

Cap blushes red and turns away quickly while walking off to find me some clothing. Bucky doesn't seem bothered by my clothing, or lack thereof. Instead, he keeps his piercing blue eyes trained hard on me.

"How are you alive Sarah? What did they do to you?" Bucky mumbles, while staring at me.

"I'm okay Bucky," I say shrugging off his question.

"I'm a warrior after all." I murmur mainly to myself shifting my weight to my other foot.

"I thought I had lost you forever. I thought you had run away from me. After what I did." He stated softly looking away from me ashamed of what had happened.

"If I had known that you were taken I would have- I should have saved you.."

I quickly close the gap between us gently cupping his face in my hand.

"Stop Bucky. You can't keep blaming yourself for everything. " I state turning his head softly so that I could stare into his ocean blue eyes.

Bucky stayed quite for several moments gazing into my eyes before he moved his face slowly toward mine. My breath hitched in my throat as Bucky softly placed his lips on mine. It was soft and slow, comforting in ways that words could never attain. He rested his hand just below my ear, his thumb caressing my cheek as our body's pressed against each other.

He slowly releases himself from the kiss, but not before gently placing a kiss on my forehead mumbling, "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

I smile and lift my head up to look at him. I'd give anything to have this moment forever, but unfortunately a small cough disturbs our moment as Cap stands awkwardly holding my clothes. I smile at Cap and mumble a thank you as I duck into the bathroom to change quickly. As I exit the bathroom I pause slightly noticing that Cap and Bucky our whispering to each other quickly.

"We need to go Bucky! Who knows what Zemo has done with the soldiers now?" I hear Cap mutter.

"Who is Zemo?" I ask walking out from the shadows, staring confused at Bucky.

"It's the man behind the bombings." Bucky states flatly, obviously annoyed that I had been eavesdropping.

"Okay. Well let's go get him." I say walking toward the exit only to realize no one is moving.

"What?" I ask glancing back and forth from Bucky to Cap.

"You're not coming Sarah." Bucky says deadpan.

"Why not?"

"Because you need to stay here. It's not safe out there."

"But I'm different now-" I begin to protest.

"And that's another thing Sarah. We have no idea what those monsters did to you. It could kill you. Just look at what they did to her," He states, staring at the sleeping body on the bay, "It's not going to happen."

"You're safe here. Until we know your condition you need to stay here, okay?" Bucky breathes while grasping my hands in his.

"It's for the best Sarah. Besides someone needs to stay with her in case anything happens." Captain America says sympathetically.

"Fine. Just go. I'll be here." I say pulling my arms away from Bucky and crossing them in front of my body to pout.

Bucky moves to follow Cap out the door and before I can say goodbye he's gone again.

"Be safe" I whisper to nobody but myself.

Note: Well hope everyone enjoyed. This was a pain in the ass to write and I'm not super proud of it but here it is! The events of her torture/experimentation took place in two days because I was trying to follow along with the timeline of the movie. Hopefully you all like how she got her powers. I imagine it similar to Wolverine's transformation, but the powers are different. I have no tests in the next few weeks so I should get the next chapter out soon...hopefully! Till next time. xxxx
