Days 36 continued-40…

Alpha sat and talked with Steve and Sam for a bit longer. It seemed as though they were beginning to understand her and her situation. Alpha walked them out after Steve suddenly received a call and said he and Sam needed to get going. Alpha felt a bit better about herself once they were gone. They seemed to like her a bit and even made her smile a few times. They were nice and brightened her dark day a bit. Plus, they were heroes. For a nobody like Alpha that was a day she wasn't going to forget.

Alpha returned to the secret files and worked hard to find all the information she could. She wanted to keep her mind off of the fact that one day she would have to tell Bucky that Steve found her while he was out. She feared what kind of new anger that dreaded conversation could bring out of him. Alpha was halfway through her fourth thick file within the span of two hours when Bucky returned. He burst through the front door and startled Alpha.

"Get your stuff. We need to move, now!" Bucky said breathlessly. Alpha didn't question him. She dropped the files she held and sprinted for her room. She grabbed her backpack and only took what was still in it. Bucky met her at the front door, which he had nearly broken off of its hinges. They both ran for the car, not even bothering to lock the doors. Bucky sped from their secluded area and onto the road. Alpha waited to regain her breath before asking any questions. But to be honest, that wasn't very long.

"What's going on? Is Hydra on your trail?" She asked urgently. Bucky kept his eyes on the road and wrapped his hands tightly around the wheel.

"Hydra made another super soldier. I saw some machines on his forearms and head that looked like what you have." Alpha's blood ran cold and eyes grew wide.

"They made number three… When did they have the time and resources to do that?" Bucky slammed his human hand on the wheel, making Alpha jump.

"I don't know! But I can't take him on my own. If he catches up with us we are screwed." Alpha watched the world flash by as they neared the end of civilization. She curled in her lips and inhaled deeply through her nose.

"Ok," Alpha murmured. Suddenly there was a bang and glass shattered. Alpha was thrown back into her seat and pain encased her right arm. Bucky swerved but soon returned to the right side of the road. He took his eyes from the road for a moment to look over Alpha.

"Are you hit?" He asked urgently. Alpha grasped her left hand firmly against her right bicep. Alpha blinked rapidly to fight through the pain.

"Yeah,"

"Where?!" Alpha dared to glance down.

"It's in my dominant arm." Alpha groaned. Bucky finally returned his eyes to the road and was met with a terrifying sight that he and Alpha could only see for a few seconds. The figure was wearing dark clothes. Alpha's world slowed down to a crawl. The figure raised their arms as the car hurtled towards them. If the figure didn't move Bucky would run them over and definitely kill them. The figure brought down their arms and slammed their fists into the hood of the car at just the right moment. The car flipped over the figure. The car landed with a crash and slid until it ran into a utility pole. The whole front windshield shattered.

It took a moment for Bucky to come to. Every bit of him ached from the crash. He pulled back, away from the airbag and forced his head to look over at Alpha. She was knocked out cold and her nose was bleeding. Bucky grunted as he got his right arm to move. He reached out and tapped Alpha's shoulder.

"Allie," Bucky groaned. He tried to breathe to awaken himself but all he got was the smell of smoke and gasoline. Alpha didn't stir. Bucky shifted so he could more easily grab Alpha's shoulder. He lightly shook her.

"Allie." He said a bit louder. She twitched. A light moan escaped from her lips. Bucky sighed with great relief. Alpha squeezed her eyes even though they were already shut tight and her brow furrowed deeply.

"What else hurts? Talk to me." Bucky asked as he worked his way to get unstuck from his seat. Alpha's head turned toward the cracked windshield but her eyes didn't open. Suddenly her jaw slackened, parting her lips slightly and blood dribbled out of her mouth. Bucky's heart stopped. He tore apart the parts of the car that were holding him down as to get in a better position to examine Alpha. There was a large piece of glass piercing Alpha in her abdomen that he couldn't originally see because of the angle it sat. Due to the blood dripping out of her mouth Bucky assumed the glass had also tore into one of her lungs. She was barely breathing and obviously in a lot of pain. Bucky racked his brain for what to do as his heart raced out of control.

He unbuckled Alpha as gently as he could manage. He pressed his left hand lightly into the area around the shard. Alpha gasped and her left hand flew up onto Bucky's chest, weakly pushing to protect herself.

"It's me." Bucky comforted. "I'm going to get you out of here." His eyes traveled up to Alpha's when he spoke. Her lips trembled. And then her eyes opened. They were pure black and didn't seem to be looking anywhere but everywhere at the same time.

"I can only keep her sedated for so long," Alpha's AI groaned. "Hurry," Bucky began breaking off the larger portions of the glass so when it was time to move Alpha it wouldn't get caught on anything. Bucky then climbed out of his side of the car and was about to run to the other side and get Alpha out when he was met with the barrel of a gun. The man from before stared down Bucky. Within a matter of seconds the whole area was flooded with people dressed all in black and armed to the teeth. A small group of them were devoted to retrieving Alpha from the crashed car which made Bucky's blood boil.

"Change in orders," The man growled. "You're both coming with us." Bucky narrowed his eyes. His fists clenched. Suddenly Bucky's world went black from a hard blow on the back of his head.

•••

Alpha's head was filled with fog making it difficult to remember things and make herself move. Her eyes fluttered open but couldn't seem to stay open. She forced her lungs to take in more air and wake herself up. This brought oxygen into her muscles and made her fingers tingle but her head remained clouded. Alpha brought up her left arm to the height of her head with slight difficulty. As she did so there was a muffled crunching noise of breaking metal. In her brief moments of her eyes being open she saw darkness surrounding a single light above her and a thick wire traveling in the corner of her eye. Her hand met the wire and followed it up. It connected with the back of her neck. Alpha wrenched out the wire. She immediately regretted that action.

The wire had been keeping her sedated and blocked her pain receptors. With it out there was nothing to stop her nerves anymore. Her eyes shot open and she gasped against the roaring pain throughout her whole body. Her hand dropped the cord as her eyes met her forearm.

A narrow row of metal, similar to her spine, traveled all along her forearm and stopped above her elbow. Alpha used what little strength she had and lifted her head to see her body. She wore a hospital gown. Her legs were attached to the table by strong metal. Alpha's arms both had the metal rows going down the middle of her forearms and along the top of her forearms. Alpha brought down her arm, which she had somehow broken out of the metal attachments that held her against the table, and craned her neck to see her legs. Under the gown and the shackles Alpha saw even more rows of metal going down the middle of her shins.

Alpha collapsed back onto her operation table trying, and failing, to calm her breathing. She could remember the man who must have been upgraded like Alpha. He must have chased her and Bucky until the car crashed. She couldn't remember anything after that. That man looked like a mixture of whatever they did to Bucky to make him a super soldier but with her inventions to make him near invincible.

Alpha looked around the darkened room, trying to figure out where she was. Besides the single blinding light right above her Alpha couldn't see much. There were machines all around her that connected to her body. It was her worst nightmare all over again. Tears began to well up in Alpha's eyes. Hydra had caught her again. It was all over.

A door suddenly slammed open. Alpha didn't react. An unknown man went to her side and gazed down at her with dark and menacing eyes. Alpha kept her eyes focused completely on the ceiling, past the light. The man sneered.

"I've waited a long time to see you. I've seen your inventions in Beta," Alpha's eyes snapped down and locked into his. "But I have never seen the original."

"That man, the one who attacked me, is the second with my cyborg tech?" Alpha asked with very little confidence in her voice. The man strolled over so he hovered right over Alpha's head.

"That's correct, Alpha. He was the mixture of your inventions plus super soldier serum used to make the Winter Soldier." The man explained. "Aren't you proud of us?" He cooed. Alpha glared at him in disgust.

"What did they do to me?" She asked with a bit more authority. The man began pacing around her table.

"They upgraded you. There is metal on your bones to strengthen them. Some of the metal goes into your tendons and muscles to make them stronger as well. The metal on your legs and arms are for protection as well as to make you more powerful. You are a stick, after all." The man paused at Alpha's feet. Alpha set her jaw.

"What are they going to do to me?" Alpha dared to ask. The man leaned his palms on the bare areas of the table by Alpha's feet.

"So many wonderful things." His voice was coarse but dripped with sickening sweetness at that moment. "And my job is to break the new you in so you'll be ready for action." A devilish grin grew on the man's face. The man pressed a button on the edge of the table and Alpha was released. Before she could even register that she wasn't attached to the table anymore the man had strode to her side. He grabbed Alpha by her shoulders and threw her from the table. Alpha tumbled into the corner of the room. Some of the medical instruments were still attached to her and pulled at her skin. Her head whipped around searching for why she suddenly couldn't keep her balance. Her eyes settled on her bare knees. Her tail was gone and she struggled to keep upright.

"Come on," The man said, facing Alpha full on. "Let's dance." Alpha pulled off the rest of the medical equipment that was attached to her and stood. Alpha was out of breath before she had even tried to land a blow and that worried her. Suddenly some of Bucky's words echoed in the back of her mind,

So if you are captured you're going to just let them kill you and not even try to fight back?

Those words tied her stomach into knots.

The longer she dodged around the man's punches and lunges the stronger she began to feel. The new machines that were implanted in her were giving her new abilities. She was, in fact, stronger and that gave her a bit of hope. Then all those hopes were dashed. The man had a great deal more experience and training than her. When Alpha thought she was dodging to the left and out of the man's reach, his leg came out and tripped her. Alpha landed with a crash into medical instruments and rolling tables. As Alpha struggled to heave in air the man hauled her to her feet. He pinned Alpha against the wall with one forearm against her throat and the other pressing into her abdomen. Alpha's eyes watered from fresh, flaming throbs. She was severely injured around her abdomen area and the man was pressing full force into that wound.

An evil sneer slid onto the man's face which was only inches from Alpha's.

"Scream," Alpha began gritting her teeth and scowled at the man. "The nice things about being around when his memories were wiped were the screams that came out of him. I'm curious, what kind of screams I can get out of you?" Alpha stared at him, disgusted.

"You'll get nothing out of me." Alpha growled. She got even closer to the man's face. "Not even the Asset could get me to scream when he tortured me." She challenged. That was mostly true. Over time Alpha gained the ability to withstand torture from the Winter Soldier and wouldn't make a peep. The man's cruel smile grew even wider.

"I love a good challenge." Their noses were nearly touching. "Challenge accepted." Alpha realized then what a terrible mistake she had made. The man shoved Alpha into the wall then threw her across the room. Some more equipment tumbled over as Alpha fell into them. Every bit of Alpha hurt by that point, and the man hadn't even started. Alpha struggled to lift her torso and head, all the feelings of power she experienced not even minutes before were gone. The man watched her from across the room and began removing some of his more bulky equipment.

"This is going to be fun." He said in a genuinely excited voice as he strolled over to Alpha, removing his gloves.

•••

Bucky kept his breathing calm despite how desperate the situation was. Beta, the cyborg man who had ambushed him and Alpha, punched Bucky's jaw again throwing his head to the side. Bucky spat out some blood from his bleeding lip then slowly returned to face the front. The metal chair he had been sitting in for countless hours was very strong seeing as how it could hold him for so long and not even budge. It had been multiple days since that crash and Bucky somehow remained as unmoving as that chair.

"We'll break you eventually. I've been told they've done it before. Once Nine returns he'll get through you. I was told he was there when you were the Asset and witnessed you getting your memories wiped." Beta leaned forward and put his hands on his knees and got into Bucky's face. "He said you screamed." Bucky's eyes burrowed a death glare into Beta's face. Beta only smiled.

Bucky didn't respond to Beta's words which didn't seem to faze him. Beta had been torturing Bucky for days but had begun doing it more fun than for his actual task. It made Bucky sick to his stomach that he used to do that as the Winter Soldier. Then his thoughts journeyed to the times he tortured Alpha. His throat caught and his chest tightened. He was extremely worried about her. He had no idea what they were going to do to her or what they could have already done.

Beta punched Bucky in the stomach then stabbed him in the left shoulder right where metal met skin. Beta used the dagger to push Bucky back into an upright position. Bucky grimaced against the tearing and pooling of blood on his skin. Beta stared at Bucky the whole time, assessing Bucky's facial expressions and guessing how much pain he felt. Beta wanted only to torture Bucky for the sake of destroying him and bringing back the Winter Soldier. If he could bring him back then they would have the third point of The Red Stars back into play. By that point Hydra could make an enormous come back.

Bucky and Beta's attention was turned away when a small group of people emerged from the door across the darkened room. Beta stood upright, with his dagger still imbedded in Bucky's shoulder. With him turned that way Bucky could see more of Beta in the dim lighting of that room. Beta wore a sleeveless shirt which showed off a red star that was tattooed on his left shoulder. The Roman numeral for the number three was in the center of the star. A middle aged man who held an air of authority around him walked calmly into the room. He looked Bucky over before turning his attention to Beta.

"Any luck breaking him?" The man asked.

"Not yet, Agent Nine. He has gotten stronger since his last wiping. Any word on finding that book?" Beta answered. Agent Nine shook his head before turning back to Bucky.

"Not yet. The files pertaining to that base were lost when SHIELD fell. But, according to our new source he will come back to us through stress. I think I know of some information that will help our soldier return." Agent Nine stood with his feet shoulder width apart in front of Bucky. "You know your friend, the little girl?" He asked. Bucky's blood began to boil. His arms flexed as he began pulling against his bonds.

"She knows nothing. She's not even useful in a fight so you don't need her." Bucky growled. Agent Nine agreed with a nod.

"She was when we found her. She's not anymore." Bucky's eyes narrowed. "Our scientists and doctors got together and made her into something new. She is improved and now the perfect being she was always meant to be. A sweet little weapon, really." Bucky's jaw tightened. Agent Nine bent over at his waist so he was in Bucky's face.

"I got the honor of torturing her when she awoke. Like you, she needed to be retaught her place in Hydra. It was so much fun trying to make her scream. And she was right, it was a challenge." Bucky tried to leap from his seat and tear Agent Nine apart but the chair held him down. A few more metal bindings emerged from the chair to further secure Bucky to that chair. Agent Nine stood and began laughing.

"I'm not sure you were hard enough on her as the Asset. She said when tortured by you she never screamed. I changed that. Everyone I torture screams in the end. It was glorious. Want to hear the recording?" Agent Nine motioned a hand up towards the ceiling. Out of the darkness came a crackling sound as though from a speaker. Agent Nine's voice was the only thing that could be heard at first mixing with muffled sounds and silence. Then there came a whimper. It was low, almost inaudible at first. Agent Nine murmured something then a gasp was heard. Bucky's jaw unhinged slightly. Agent Nine mumbled something harshly then there was a soul wrenching scream. Images flashed through Bucky's mind as the recording played. They weren't pretty and put tears in his eyes. Some of the images were memories and others were from imagination brought by those wails.

Alpha's screams left the room cold and still. It seemed to even bother the other Hydra agents. They glanced around at each other nervously. Agent Nine lowered his hand and the recording stopped. He leaned towards Bucky again.

"I can tell you care about that girl, although I'm not sure why." Bucky was so furious he began to tremble. "I'll use her to break you for us. We need our Asset back so we can have three of our Red Stars in play. You're coming back no matter what."

"I think I'll kill you first." Bucky said in a low and terrifying voice. Agent Nine only laughed. He turned to the door.

"Bring out our new leading lady." He called. Bucky's eyes grew wide. He expected them to drag her in by her arms, her legs no help, then dropping her at his feet. He expected to see her battered and bruised with gashes all over her body. He knew how Hydra agents worked and how they tortured and so thought he knew what to expect.

Instead, Alpha walked in calmly and on her own. She wore all black. A mask, similar to the kind Hydra made Bucky wear as the Winter Soldier, covered over half of her small face. Her shirt was sleeveless and revealed arms that were still thin but wore metal stripes of horror on her forearms. Black strips imbedded in her skin lined the inside of her biceps and wrapped around them to the outside. The sleeves were so short you could see most of the red star on her left shoulder. Alpha wore slightly baggy black cargo pants, similar to everyone else's, with boots. They had recut her hair so it was buzzed nearly to her scalp again. A few new scars were visible on her arms and face. What surprised Bucky the most were her eyes. They were mismatched, as usual, but they seemed hollow and held no light within them. Bucky stared, terrified, as Alpha stopped by Agent Nine. Agent Nine slapped her shoulder with a laugh and began pushing her side to side. Alpha didn't react, only moved limply with the way he made her.

"Isn't she a beauty?" Agent Nine asked bringing Alpha back to a normal standing position and slapping her shoulder again. Alpha only blinked in response.

"Allie!" Bucky yelled. She didn't even blink that time. Her eyes weren't looking into Bucky's face but seemingly through him. "I know you're in there. Wake up!" Beta silenced him with another punch to the jaw.

"Alpha it seems as though our guest has a knife in his shoulder." Agent Nine snarled into Alpha's ear. "Be a good girl and fetch it for me." Like a robot Alpha walked up to Bucky. She swiftly grabbed the knife and wrenched it out of his shoulder, twisting it in the process. Bucky's chest rose and fell heavily. He couldn't believe the girl before him was really Alpha. Physical pain was something he could deal with but the emotions coursing through him were almost unbearable. She wasn't easy to break, Agent Nine said so. But, why her? She was just a kid.

Alpha stepped back and held out the bloodied knife to Agent Nine. He took his and examined it with sickening glee.

"Such a well-trained weapon. You used to be like that, you know." Agent Nine commented. He handed Alpha the knife again. "Swipe this across his chest." Agent Nine added. Alpha, not even glancing at Agent Nine took the blade and quickly strode over to Bucky. With lightning speed she slashed the blade across Bucky's chest. Bucky had to grind his teeth and clench his fists to keep from crying out. Fresh blood began spreading across his abdomen.

"Alpha," Bucky gasped between harsh breaths. "You know me. I promised to protect you and I will. Snap out of it!" Alpha's barren eyes stared through Bucky's face.

"Torture him the way I did you. We need the Asset back. Do whatever you need to." Agent Nine said but no longer in his sickeningly sweet voice. He was done playing. Alpha loomed over Bucky, a dark shadow growing across her pale and once kind face. Alpha twirled the knife a few times in her hand to get a feel for it.

"Alpha…" Bucky whispered. He realized then just how Alpha must have felt when he was ordered to torture her all those years ago. Alpha's figure wasn't nearly as daunting as his must have been from her perspective but a deep fear was growing inside of Bucky from seeing what she had become. What they had made her into.


Many hours passed and Bucky still hadn't broken. Even with Alpha breaking his heart with every blow he remained as himself. Blood soaked Bucky's clothes and was spattered all over Alpha. Agent Nine wrinkled his nose then pulled back Alpha roughly by her shoulder. She stepped back without expression or retort. Agent Nine punched Bucky's face then grabbed a chunk of his hair to force his head back forward.

"You just won't give up will you?!" Agent Nine asked, furious. Bucky's shoulders heaved from the throbbing pains coursing through his body. Alpha had somehow known how to cause all that pain despite her size. But Bucky fought through the pain and burrowed his eyes into those of Agent Nine. Bucky refused to revert not while Alpha was still under Hydra's control. Bucky didn't want to risk her getting injured like all the other times he reverted.

Agent Nine sighed agitatedly as he straightened up.

"It seems we need to take drastic measures." He turned to Alpha. When he turned Alpha's eyes snapped up to meet his. Alpha's eyes, as they gazed upon Agent Nine, began to glisten in fear. Bucky watched as her once emotionless and hollow eyes began to portray a deep and haunting terror that came up inside of her. Nothing else about her face changed except for her eyes. A small ray of hope began to glow inside of Bucky. There really was hope to get Alpha back.

"Take off your mask." Alpha slowly removed the black mussel and dropped it onto the floor with a clatter.

"Cut yourself." Alpha's glistening eyes turned downward as she wiped the bloody knife against a less bloody part of her pants. Suddenly she raised the knife and swiped it cleanly across the side of her neck all the way down to her collar bone.

"No!" Bucky screamed. But Alpha didn't stop. With a horrific fluidity to her movements she twirled the knife in her hands. From her neck the knife traveled up and across one cheek and over the bridge of her nose. She bent over and sliced the knife across the side of one of her knees. She twirled it again and it tore through on the other side of the same knee. She stood, tossing the blade and catching it with her opposite hand and then brought it down towards her right shoulder.

Bucky had been stunned dumb from Alpha's sudden graceful and horrific movements. From the first slice Bucky had pulled his hardest against the metal restraints. He needed her to stop. Anger and fear gave him a new energy. Right as Alpha's left hand flew to her right shoulder Bucky's metal arm launched out and grabbed her wrist. Everything became still. The air held such an intensity one wrong breath could shatter their existence. Bucky's chest rose and fell sharply. His metal hand clutched Alpha's left wrist tightly but he made sure not to squeeze too hard. Even though Alpha wasn't herself, Bucky still didn't want to harm her. He had done too much of that as the Winter Soldier. Alpha remained motionless for a few breathless moments. Then, she blinked once and her body returned to her automatic response of defense. She dropped the knife out of her left hand into her right, immediately jabbing the blade towards Bucky's neck. He caught her right hand as well, keeping his eyes low.

Alpha's brow furrowed. She attempted to escape from Bucky's grasp but his hands were set like iron. Alpha brought up her right knee in an attempt to get Bucky's injured side. He twisted away then while Alpha's balance was compromised pushed her torso to the floor. He crisscrossed Alpha's arms against her chest before she could shake off the painful blow. He held her wrists with his left hand and encased her neck with the right. The crowd of soldiers watched, stunned, by the speed in which Bucky had engaged Alpha and she him. From their perspective there was no doubt their Asset was restored.

Alpha shook her head slightly, to clear it, then began to struggle. She may have been made stronger but there was no way she could stand up to Bucky. Not like that. But, Alpha's new Hydra programing made her try. She lashed out with her legs, trying something, anything to become free again. Alpha kicked her legs up, her left wrapped around the outside of his neck and her right knee pressed into his chest. She pulled down on Bucky's neck with her left leg and he was quickly brought down to the floor and Alpha upright. Unfortunately, Bucky didn't let go of Alpha's neck and continued to strangle her. In one fluid motion, Bucky released Alpha's wrists and punched the upper part of her chest, throwing her backward. As she fell, Alpha had a few moments where she couldn't react to anything at all so Bucky spun her around yanking her shoulders so she was locked into place against his chest. Bucky sat up and breathed for a moment with his arms wrapped around Alpha. Alpha had become immobile again.

Alpha let out a yell of frustration. A sneer had grown upon Agent Nine's lips as he watched them struggle.

Bucky brought down his left arm to pin Alpha's arms to her torso as his right wrapped around her neck. Alpha's eyes blinked furiously to fight against the growing black dots in her vision. She choked and gasped against the force closing her airways. With her eyes opened wide they suddenly turned completely black. Light blue streaks chased along her body from the visible metal rows on her skin then disappeared the further from the metal they went. Agonizingly slowly, Alpha pried away her right arm from the grasp of Bucky's left one. Her right arm flew up to the arm around her neck. Everyone watched in amazement as puny Alpha began pulling Bucky's right arm away from her neck. Alpha gasped for air once Bucky's arm wasn't pressing on her windpipe but didn't loosen her grip on his wrist. Then Alpha brought her left arm up and grabbed Bucky's left wrist. Just as slowly as moving her right, Alpha pried Bucky's left arm away from her body. With a new surge of energy Alpha tossed back her arms so her hands rested on the back of Bucky's neck. Bucky attempted to wrap his arms around her again but Alpha, for once, was much quicker.

With a grimace and a low growl Alpha pulled her arms over her head with as much strength as her upgraded body could muster. Bucky tumbled over Alpha's curled body as she threw him into the crowd. Every single Hydra soldier raised their guns at Alpha and Bucky. Alpha took a few moments to catch her breath. Her eyes transitioned back to normal with one slow blink. Bucky rose back to his feet slowly, as though from pain, but made no sounds. Agent Nine strolled over to Bucky with his hands behind his back.

"Previous mission status: terminated. New mission: go with assigned groups to continue our cleansing of the world." Agent Nine ordered. Bucky's eyes were kept low and in the dark shadow of his brow. "Confirm new orders." Bucky responded without hesitating.

"New mission: go with assigned groups to continue the cleansing of the world." Bucky repeated. Agent Nine nodded his head with a look of triumph.

"You are assigned to both Beta and Alpha for big missions but for others you are to protect Alpha at all costs. She may have been upgraded but she is still a risk." Bucky nodded tersely. "Get him cleaned up. We need him prepped and ready for the first mission in a few days." Agent Nine added to a few of the soldiers next to him. They nodded in reply then escorted Bucky out of the room. Agent Nine turned to Alpha with glee.

"You've saved the world, little lady. Get her ready. We need her to access information."
