He needed to understand she had never meant to hurt him, wiping the tear from her face she jumped up and chased after him. "I need to explain. James. Bucky wait." She pulled at his metal arm making him turn to face her. Pulling back in shock at his crystal blue eyes shimmering with tears. "I didn't know, I'm so sorry." She whispered.

Confusion filled James face as he touched her cheek, the cool metal erupting shivers across her skin. "You were so young. I never realized."

"I told you I was with Hydra for eleven years." Shannon sighed and reached forward moving to kiss him, needing to fill the ocean's of space she could feel between them, her lips had barley touched his when he pulled away. The hurt hit her stomach like he had punched her making her feel sick.

"I can't..."

"Bucky please, they told me they just wanted me to look."

"I know. You were Innocent back then... but you wern't a few minutes ago." James murmured as he took a step back. "I told you not to give me my memories back, practically beg you and you still did it...Just like Hydra do."

"No, no I am nothing like them. Bucky please" It was like he had put a knife through her heart, she took a step forward and again he stepped back.

"I didn't do what you wanted so you made me." James murmured back, turning again he sighed " Don't call me Bucky."

The walked in silence all the way back to town and waited for the bus that Aiden and Darren had taken a few hours before to show up, when it did Julian turned and faced both James and Shannon, he could feel something was wrong between them. "Thank you." He smiled as he gripped the bag that James had given him stuffed full of clothes and money that he might need till he was reunited with his family.

"Be save." James smiled as they shook each other hands, Julian turned and smiled at Shannon, she could see he was barley hanging on to his emotions. She pulled him in to a hug and whispered in to his ear "You ever need me, you find me." Julian nodded and pulled away as his bus arrived, he smiled as he took his place. A few minutes later, he was gone.

Shannon watched Julian disappear, the rain had finally stopped but the air was still full of moisture, She turned to move back toward's the truck and felt James's hand on her arm or was it Bucky now?

"I think we need to talk." He spoke, his face not giving away any of his emotion's behind his eyes, Shannon could of looked in to his mind but with the event's of last night still raw in her's she couldn't bring herself to.

"I'm sorry." He murmered making her look up in shock, his words still stung inside of her. He had been right, she had used her power's against him without mercy just like Hydra did. No matter how much she tried to change she would always use her power's without mercy.

"Shannon look at me." He spoke gently pushing her chin up so her eye's would look in to his. "I was harsh earlier." His eyes were softer but they still held an edge to them. "Everything came rushing back. The War. This." He motioned to his metal arm "And everyone I have killed and then there was you standing over me making my head feel like it was breaking in to pieces."

Shannon looked away and sighed, her guilt wedged in her throat. "I guess I can't run from her."

"Who?"

"Whisper." She murmured as she looked back, she had been clouded with making him remember, him suffering hadn't even entered her thought's. A mean's to an end. "I fight to control my power's and use them for good but I can feel something dark inside trying to break free. No matter how hard I try to be Shannon I'll alway's be Whisper.

James scoffed and kissed her on the forehead "You saved a family, you saved me, you are willing to help everyone that you can. No matter how many memories I have as Bucky, I will alway's be your James and no matter how dark you think you are, you will always be my Shannon." Smiling he kissed her gently and wrapped his arms around her.

For a while they stood like that, until the rest of the world seeped in. "Where now?" Shannon asked as she watched people leaving and getting on the buses around them.

"We stick to the plan." James pulled back and smiled, running a hand through her hair "We get out of here" He laughed as he pulled a twig out of Shannon's mane of a hair "But first we should change."

It felt weird to be back in clean, jean's and a t shirt. Shannon hated to admit it but she was getting used to the feel of wearing a dress. Smiling she pulled the last lot of the leaves that were nestled in her hair, everything was clean apart from her sneakers that had just had as much of the mud from the woods wiped off as she could manage. She looked normal and after last night it was a nice feeling, she felt like herself again even if that pit of darkness still lingered. "My name is Shannon Smith." She told herself in the mirror of the bus station bathroom. Sliding everything in to her bag she unlocked the door to find James who had gone in search of a new car, it had took him about thirty second's to change.

Humming to herself she headed for the station's exit "Wait" the feel of cold metal placed against her head made her stop instantly as Samantha's voice came from behind her "Turn around" She commanded as Shannon followed her instruction's the gun moving from the back of her skull to between her eyes. They eyed each other just like they had in the restaurant.

"You didn't listen to Aiden then." Shannon asked as Samantha pulled the gun away from her skull even though she continued to keep it pointed at her.

"Like I was going to leave my son in the company of freak's like you,"

Shannon couldn't hide the anger that boiled in her vein's, Samantha saw it too "Oh I wouldn't think about it you freak, not unless you can move faster then a bullet." She motioned at the gun "Imagine my surprise when I com here and your face is splashed over the new's. Wanted in connection of two murder's in New York. I told Aiden your kind were monsters."

The anger erupted as Shannon used her power's to slam against Samantha's hand's, ripping the gun from her grasp, she countered with a smack against Shannon's face. Shannon lunged in to Samantha's ribs knocking her to the ground, sitting on top of her her powers lunged like a viper around the downed woman's neck, it coiled around her throat as Shannon pushed it on. The sound of insult's that seeped from Samantha's mouth were replaced with gasp's of breath. "Just like Hydra." James's voice filled Shannon's mind, she looked up and caught there reflection in one of the window's her eye's were white just like...

She pulled off of Samantha as if she had been shocked "I'm Shannon." She spoke to herself as Samantha gasped for much needed oxygen at her feet. Shannon watched as her eye's returned to there dark shade of brown, movement behind her caught her attention as two police officer's ran on to the scene, looking around she realized the station was at a stand still as everyone had stopped to watch there scrap.

"Shannon Smith you are under arrest on the suspicion of murder. Pete pick her up too she can come for a ride down to the station." The first police officer spoke even though to Shannon it sounded like he was miles away, she felt the hard metal hit her wrist's as she was guided out of the bus station, Samantha following.

She searched for James catching him standing not far from the entrance his mouth agape as he took in the sight of the police and Samantha, making to move toward's them Shannon stopped him with a slight shake of her head "Too many people." She murmured in his mind.

"I can't believe we bet Iron Man in finding her." The one that had been called Pete laughed as they headed towards the station on the other side of the town, "I owe Benny $40, I thought Stark would of been on it wanting to find out what happened in New York and to think she show's up in this dump." He chuckled turning his attention on Shannon in the back "A big step down from the Big Apple huh?"

"Stark will be at the station soon enough." The other cop spoke up "Remind me to get an autograph my kid love's that guy."

"Where is Darren?" Samantha asked beside Shannon, she croaked her throat obviously sore.

Shannon looked over at her, all defeated and beaten. Anger toward's herself and what she could of done dug in to her, she thought of Darren learning that his mum was dead, no matter how much of a beast she was Samantha would alway's be his mum. "Safe." She spoke as she turned her attention to her reflection in the cop car's window, she couldn't stop staring at her eyes searching for any flicker of white. That's how Hydra had learned if she was using the full force of her power's everything but her pupil would turn bright white and she would be unstoppable in her mission whatever that might of been.

"Safe? While Julian's near him, there's no such thing." Samantha grumbled at the side of her, catching the attention of the police in front. "Quiet" They ordered.

"Like he would of been if he had been in the house when Hydra had showed up like you wanted?" Shannon turned to Samantha.

"They only wanted the freak." Samantha's voice rose as much as her throat would allow, her anger simmering back to the surface.

"Quiet" Again the cop bellowed from the front.

"Hydra don't care who get's in the way, they have a target and.." Shannon didn't get chance to finish her word's as a thundering of a smash hit the side of the cop car sending it somersaulting in the air, the sensation of flying made Shannon's stomach flip, her head cracked hard against the side of the car as they landed cutting her head instantly she could feel the blood escaping down her face it stung as it dripped in to her eyes. The sound of metal crashing on the ground echoed in her ears and then nothing. Her vision blurred as she looked around the car, the police groaned in front but didn't move much, as Shannon turned toward's Samantha she looked as her eyes were open in her direction, lifeless. "Samantha" She called out to her, she tried to move toward's her but a pain shot through her left shoulder instantly stopping her action. Samantha didn't answer, she couldn't she was gone.

Panic rose in Shannon's body as she looked helplessly around, her hand's still handcuffed she tried to get free from the wreck but the pain from her shoulder made moving unbearable, turning she looked through the broken window, trying to focus her eye's and concentrate on the movement coming from outside. She saw a eight wheeler truck, all front end smashed from where it had hit the cop car in the middle of the road and heading toward's here were two set's of very big, black boots.

A/N Hi guys Whisper's Watcher here with her first author note (Big moment for me lol) Anyway I normally update on a Tuesday, however the last chapter was the shortest I have wrote and this one was going to be a short one too so I started writing it... 1900+ words later and the chapter's all completed a few day's early so what's the point in waiting?

Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying my story, it started off as something that I just couldn't get out of my head and now I look forward to progressing James and Shannon's story on a weekly basis. So please review just if its for a chat, I love talking to everyone and about any other fandom whatever just so it gives my friends a rest of me talking to them about it.
