(A/N: I am so sorry for the long hiatus. I can assure you HYDRA didn't kidnap me, though this chapter might as well be short).

Chp 10

Bucky and I had snuck out early in the morning. I left a note to Storm that I don't want to risk the entire mutant at the only home I know being questioned about their affiliation with me. So, me leaving is probably the best option since all SHIELD agents are being hunt down. We have two options – find Cap and Sam or find Coulson.

We board a plane to Peru where Bucky said he has a safe house. "Peru? Kinda far off, don't you think?", I ask.

"I need my space from HYDRA, but then the only 'home' I know is that cryotube thingy", he says, "So during my time out, that's my place". We stay quiet for a while until he asks me, "How well do you know Rumlow?".

"He's my SO. He's like a brother – all the Strike team are and as much as I hate to admit, Rollins too", I say, "They're the last people I expect to betray me".

"Sometimes, the person you would shield is the person pulling the trigger", he says, quietly.

We arrive and hurry towards his small house at the outskirt of the city. He has a single mattress, a two-seat couch, a four people dining table and a simple drawer. "Nice place", I say, "So if you're in the cryotube, who maintains this house?".

"No one", he says, "I don't know why this place is the only thing I remember all the time". I look at Bucky, who is facing away from me as he cleans his couch, skeptically, but I decide to brush the thought off.

"So, what are we doing here?", I ask.

"We're meeting my contact. He…, is usually the one who I can trust outside HYDRA. I called him before we left the mansion about your team. He knows things", says Bucky.

That night, Bucky and I cuddle with each other to stay warm as I relay to him what I learned about him in History Class.

"A hero huh?", he says.

"Look, what HYDRA did to you, that's not who you are. The real you is somewhere inside there and I know it", I say, "Maybe if we find Cap, you can ask him everything. I mean, he's your best friend".

"I don't know who to trust", he says. I can feel his cold metal arm tightening around my waist.

I come closer until our lips are a few inches away. "Do you trust me?", I ask before giving him a chaste kiss nearby his lips. He glares at me before slamming his mouth to mine.

"Don't tease me!", he hisses as his metal arm travels to my hair to tug it and expose my neck to his mouth. I moan when he licks and bites my pulse point. Clothes scatter around us. This is not love, well, not the one I hope. It's just two people, needing each other. Before I drift into my slumber after our session, he pulls me closer and pulls the blanket to my chin.

-THE NEXT DAY-

We had breakfast…, well; Bucky caught some fish and did a little barbeque for me. After that, we walk to the city to meet up with his contact. "Who is he again?", I ask.

"Someone, who is not affiliated with HYDRA or SHIELD. To be blunt, he's just the man that gets me through security and stuff", says Bucky, "We need new passport; new identity. I bet Coulson has erased yours considering the fact that you're on the run with me now". We arrive to this abandon warehouse. Bucky makes a phone call and he speaks Russian. "He'll be here soon", says Bucky. He brings me towards the elevator and head upstairs.

Then, I hear tires screeching on the dirt. It must've been the guy. Bucky tells me to wait while he goes downstairs to meet him. I hear footsteps and suddenly, I feel restless. I turn around to see Ward and Raina – the girl in the flower dress.

"Hello sister", says Raina.
