I woke up in a room that was strangely familiar.
The Winter Soldier, Bucky, was sitting on a chair next to the bed.
Groaning, I sat up and looked around.
"You're up."
I turned my head and saw it was the Winter Soldier.
"Hey."
He stood up and leaned over me, and using one hand, he tipped my chin up and pressed his lips against mine.
It felt good. It felt really good.
I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him into me.
After a minute, we pulled away, panting.
There was a knock on the door, and I tensed up.
The Winter Soldier walked over to the door and opened it, revealing Steve.
"You're arms."
He rushed towards me, and I flinched back.
Singh said they couldn't be trusted. For all I knew, they could try and inject me with something.
Gently, he held up my left arm and inspected the new red spiral.
"How long was I out?"
"Two hours," the Winter Soldier told me.
"How are you feeling?" Steve asked.
"Tired. I-I just want to rest."
It was the truth, but I knew I needed to act like I was still getting over being at Hydra for a year.
Steve nodded and left the room, but the Winter Soldier stayed.
He took my hand in his own, and supported his head with his other hand.
I knew Odessa was close with him, and so I moved over so there was room for him.
Hydra had told me that Odessa and Bucky were close, and that her first worry was for him.
He smiled softly and laid next to me, wrapping an arm around me.
It was so uncomfortable.
Do it for Hydra, a voice chimed in my head.
When I woke up again, the clock said 9:30 pm.
Slowly, I untangled myself from the Winter Soldier. His hand reached up and grabbed mine, and his eyes opened.
"Where are you going?" He asked, still half asleep.
"I'll be back in a minute."
Sighing sleepily, he turned over and went back to sleep.
Slipping out of the room, I almost ran into a teenage boy.
"You're back!"
He wrapped his arms around me, and I stood there, shocked.
After a moment, I awkwardly wrapped my own arms around him.
Peter Parker. Spiderman. Lives with his aunt May.
"Hey, Peter."
"What are you doing up?"
"I uh just need some fresh air," I said hesitantly.
We talked for a minute, and then he went back to bed.
Going as fast as I could, I ran outside and to the gates, where an Agent was waiting in the shadows.
"I'm in. They don't seem to suspect anything as of right now. They are just glad Odessa is back."
The agent nodded, and got on a motorcycle before driving away.
I hurried back to the room, and saw that the Winter Soldier was still asleep.
Climbing back into the bed, I left myself fall asleep.
I woke up to the Winter Soldier wrapped around me. It was irritating. People were too clingy.
Sighing, I moved away from him and sat up. I grabbed a fresh set of clothes, a dark red tank top and black leggings.
When I went into the joined bathroom, I was amazed at how big it was.
Cranking the water on until steam started to fill the room, I got under the water.
Where my cuts were, it stung but it was nice to get cleaned up.
"You didn't wake me up."
Turning my head, I saw the Winter Soldier leaning against the closed door.
"Sorry."
I turned off the water and used my hands to get as much water out of my hair as I could. Stepping out of the shower, I grabbed the towel I had set aside.
"The others are all doing stuff so I figured we could just lay around here all day."
"Uh I don't know."
Drying off, I changed into the clothes I had gotten.
I needed to find out information about the heros for Hydra, and I couldn't very well do that laying in bed.
"Ok well I have to talk to Steve about something anyway so I will see you in a few."
"Yeah."
After he left, I wandered around the compound.
"I can help pay for the security, you just make sure that they are people who can be trusted."
I looked inside a room, and saw Tony Stark pacing back and forth while talking to someone.
"Yes, I know. Extra people around all major politicians and government officials in the area."
I listened in for several minutes. From what I had heard, they were doubling up security around the most important people, people that Hydra might try and target. When he hung up, I quickly made my way back to the room.
The Soldier wasn't back yet, so I started to look around what had been Odessa's room.
There were pictures of her and Steve, and some of just Steve.
I discovered a box under the bed that held several sketch books. Sitting on the ground, I began to look through them.
There were drawings of the Soldier and Steve, and then one of the Soldier, Steve, Peter, and who must've been Loki.
Along with the drawings of people, there were self portraits, and the rest were mainly landscape.
Some of the ones I thought were especially beautiful, was a rainforest with small lizards and frogs. There was a mountain range with birds soaring through the clouds. There was a sunset over an ocean, and the waves looked as if the would start moving at any time. A waterfall into a lake surrounded by trees with a sky dotted with fluffy clouds. A deer stood at the edge of the forest.
I ran my fingers over the page.
My head snapped up when the door opened. The Soldier walked in, followed by Steve.
"I'd forgotten about all of these," I said, making my voice sound like I thinking about something.
Closing the book, I put it away with the others.
"Do you want to watch a movie? We can catch you up on stuff."
"Sure."
Great. Just great.
The entire day had been wasted except for when I found out about the security. I was now laying in bed, waiting for the soldier to fall asleep.
Finally, I heard a change in his breathing, and after about five minutes I slipped out of the room.
When I got to the front gates, I saw that another agent was here.
"They are doubling security around all government officials, and all major politicians in the area."
The agent nodded and drove off.
When I got back to the room, I quietly opened the door and backed into the room, watching the hallway.
I turned around and the lamp on the bedside table clicked on. I froze, and saw Steve and the Winter Soldier sitting on the bed, waiting for me.
Straightening my back, I met their eyes.
"So you've found me out."
"You were never really back, were you, Odessa?" the Winter Soldier asked.
"That's not my name."
"Yes, it is."
I glared at them, and slowly reached my hand behind me to grab the doorknob.
When I grabbed it, the Winter Soldier looked at my hand, and grabbed a gun.
Before I could get out the door, he shot me with a tranquilizer dart.
I groaned as I fell to the ground and the world went dark.
Chains bound my hands together, and I had them around my feet too. The chains were connected to the wall.
Standing up, I saw that there was a glass wall on the other side of the room.
Tony, Steve, the Winter Soldier, Thor, Loki, and the Secretary of State were on the other side.
I ran as far as my chains let me.
"I'm going to kill you! Hydra is coming. You can't hide!" I screamed.
The men left the small room on the other side of the glass.
I let out another scream and pulled at the chains.
Okay, so I have some thing to talk about. First off: Updates. I am doing things this next Thursday, and then I will be able to work on chapters for most of Friday. Then, I will be unable to update much this weekend, but if I finish any chapters over the weekend, they will be out around Sunday. Second: If you were wondering why Dessa keeps referring to herself before the year with Hydra as Odessa, it is because she was told all she was, was the Seventh Soldier. She was told that Odessa was like another person. Third: The reason she says "the Winter Soldier" instead of Bucky, is because Hydra calls him that (Almost every time I typed Winter Soldier, I put Bucky, so that was hard).
