James crept along the side of the bar, his body against the aging wood as he stalked the clearly drunk biker who had just exited, he watched him stagger towards his Harley Davidson and drop the keys giving him plenty of time to get rid of the distance between them. The drunkard guzzled at the half empty whiskey bottle in his hand as he tried to reach his fat leg over the bike. James checked the entrance of the bar, the noise of the rest of the bikers could still be heard carrying on with the drinking leaving there buddy all alone.

"I need your bike." He spoke to the back of the man's head as again the drunk tried to swing his leg over and again failing miserably. It took him a moment to register James's voice as he staggered around again, his eyes focusing on James presence, not even registering the guns or the metal arm.

"Piss off." He slurred as he started to turn back around, James caught his hand in his metal grip."I insist." The drunk threw his arm towards James in a rubbish attempt at a punch with the bottle in his hand, James easily dodged smashing the bottle on the ground and connecting with a strike of his own, the drunk fell to the floor out cold as James reached inside his old leather jacket pulling out the keys for the bike and his cell phone. He pulled the bike off its stand and pushed it away from its old owner and the bar towards the direction to Shannon and Hydra "Don't give up on me I'm coming." He promised in his mind as the scenes from her kidnap replayed in his head, her white eyes as she had thrown him from there grasp, he knew she had told him to not follow that she wanted him to save himself but he couldn't, he need to save her she was his , she was his soul.

A few hours later James left the highway and pulled up on a side street, killing the ignition he punched in the number.

"Butler Police department, Janet speaking how can I help?"

"I need to speak to Tony Stark." Silence on the other end of the call.

"Um, I'm sorry sir, there's no Tony Stark that works.."

"Look I know he was there earlier." James interrupted, he sighed angrily "Tell him I was at his New York building." For a moment there was silence on the other line and then a small voice spoke "Hold on."

"Stark here." A voice James had heard on T.V replaced the receptionist, it sounded like he wasn't giving James his full attention and that he was outside. "I hear you are responsible for destroying my building in New York, you know it would be nice for some of my property to stay intact for a while."

"I need you to get a message to Steve Rodger's, I've heard you and him run in the same circle's."

"Mr Star's and Stripes? I know him but I can't remember being your messenger and I haven't finished asking my question's. What has Rodger's got to do with New York anyway?"

"Nothing, but he does with what happened in Washington."

"Oh you were at Washington too were you? You know destroying American landmarks is an expensive hobby." A noise from the background of a truck made James's temper flare.

"Look Stark I know your trying to stall me till you can pinpoint my location but I can't risk you and your band of merry men getting in the way, I just need Steve."

"And why would I risk sending one of my friend's to a guy who has no regard to keep the buildings he goes in to standing?"

"Becauses this is Hydra god damn it!"James yelled as his temper got the better of him, taking a moment to composed himself he spoke again "I need back up and I need someone I can trust and I'm sorry but I'm not going to rely on a guy that looks like the tin man."

"While I'm your messenger who do I say is calling?"

"An old friend." With that James killed the call and placed the cell phone back in his leather jacket, turning on the ignition he sped forward to Hydra, to Shannon.

"Shannon, wakey wakey." A familiar voice brought Shannon back from the blackness, her body felt battered and broken, she could feel the dried blood gripping on to her skin at the side of her face and in her hair matting it together. They were moving even if she couldn't as she could feel her hands tightly bound above her head, her eyes fluttered open to the sound of the voice. Colossus sat in shadows to the left of her, his face and body were in complete darkness apart from his left metal hand resting on his knee, the person to his left made Shannon's eyes open wide as she pulled away from her binds causing the skin to burn on her hands, she must have a concussion, this couldn't be real. It wasn't possible as she was sat face to face with a young teen image of herself, her hair was shorter then now, the brown hair's just reaching the tip of her chin but it was her eyes that gave her away, no fleck of brown could be found as it had been replaced by bright white. This wasn't a younger version of Shannon, this was the person that she despised the most, this was Whisper.

"Ooh you don't look so good." Whisper snickered as she sat back, the wicked smile spread across her lips.

"Your not real." Shannon closed her eyes as she tried to rid the image of Whisper in front of her.

"No but seen as I'm here I think we should have a talk." Whisper sat forward resting her forearms against her legs, she wore pale white overalls, Whisper noticed Shannon looking at her clothing "Oh you noticed the trendy clothes, I take it you remember what part of our life I'm from then, you'd think that we would of learned how to get out of these messes by now."

"Stop saying we, your a monster."

Whisper sat forward, her cold white eyes stared in to Shannon's pain filled brown ones "Careful you know how we feel about that word." Pulling back Whisper sighed "I'm getting tired of being to blame for all your problems, your no better."

"I don't have as much blood on my hands as you do." Shannon coughed as she breathed in, pain shooting from her ribs.

"Oh i don't know my friend, let's not forget how you got the name Shannon." Whisper again lent forward staring in to Shannon's eyes, there faces inches from each other "You think that you've turned a corner, that I'm in the past." Pulling back Whisper was no longer the young version she had been, now she sat in the same ripped and bloody clothes Shannon wore, her hair was longer and matted with her own blood, but her eyes remained the . "I'm still here not as buried as you thought and you can keep fighting it and starving yourself from your powers but face facts you can't escape me and one day this is what your going to become." Whisper smiled as again Shannon shook her head, this was a nightmare she ordered herself to believe it as movement at the side of Whisper made them both turn. The figure Shannon had assumed was Colossus moved away from the shadows revealing the beautiful face of James. His hair was cut shorter like it had been before Hydra had turned him but his body still wore the metal of there encounter. Whisper placed an arm across James's shoulder's and smiled "I think somehow I'm not the one your most worried about."

With a strike James's metal arm was around Shannon's throat, she fought to pull herself out of his grip, causing her skin to tighten in the cuffs above her head, James's face closed in to Shannon, his ice blue eyes full of hate and loathing "Monster."

The venom from James's words echoed in Shannon's ears as she jumped awake, the sudden movement caused pain in her shoulder and neck making her wince, she looked up at the bench expecting Whisper and James to still be sat there but there was only Colossus. "Who were you dreaming about?" He asked as he re positioned the gun in his lap, he was in his human form no metal in sight.

"An old friend." Shannon spoke sarcastically as loud as she could, her throat felt raw.

"Didn't sound like you got along very well." Colossus turned and looked out of the window for a second "I wonder if your boyfriend is looking for you?"

"Like Kitty is with you?" Shannon asked as she used as much power as she could muster in to his mind, just catching the glimpse of the young, beautiful woman and a name.

"What did you say?" The anger in Colossus voice, revealing she had hit a nerve.

"Kitty Pride that was her name wasn't it?" Just like James's had in her dream, Colossus hand gripped at her throat in a second.

"Don't you dare." He threatened his voice full of menace "Or I will snap your neck here."

Shannon stared in to his eyes "I'm not afraid to die." She struggled with the words even more as his grip tightened. The van eased to a stop as a flicker of panic was revealed in Shannon's eyes.

Colossus released her neck "No I won't do you that favour, your Knight's toy now."

Almost instantly as Knight's name had been spoken, he pulled the door to the van open revealing that they had arrived at there destination, his beady eyes flickered to Colossus and Shannon almost like he could feel the tension in the air. "Bring her." He ordered as Shannon was unlocked and dragged from the van to the cold, lifeless building that belonged to Hydra. Knight came to Shannon's side and smiled his sick smile "Welcome to your new home, I'd love to give you the tour but I think it's best if we play first."

James crawled through the woods, finally able to see the entrance to what should of been the old abandoned building but was home to Hydra, his heart leaped as he caught sight of the figure that had been dragged from the van. Shannon. He couldn't help the smile that fluttered on his lips at finding her alive, beaten but alive. Knight spoke something to Shannon as she turned and replied. The beady man must not of appreciated her reply as she received a smack from the brute Colossus's across her face. James winced as he had to force his body to not rush down, he looked around noting the guards well hidden around the entrance, he looked on as Shannon disappeared inside.

He found an area where he could take down the first guard, he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his body as he readied himself to move, the feel of buzzing inside his jacket made him take cover, checking none of the guard's had noticed he opened the cell and answered "Hello?"

"Who is this?" Steve's voice was a welcome relieve, James hadn't realized how much he had missed his friend until that point.

"It's me, Bucky."

Silence on the other end and then a sigh "Jesus Buck your alive... and you remember?"

"Yeah Steve I remember, look I haven't got time to explain but did Stark give you my message?"

"Yeah something about an Hydra base, where the hell are you?"

"A few miles off Chicago, look how quick can you get here?"

"To Chicago? A few hours but Buck how do you know it's Hydra? Wait till I get there."

"I can't just get here."

"Why? A few hours and we've got better odds together."

"They have the woman I love Steve, just get here."

"I'm coming Buck, just be careful."

"I will and Steve...Thanks." With that James killed the call, returning the cell to his jacket, he readied his weapon's, the shot gun was tied across his back, his 9mm at his sides and his new knife in his right hand. He was ready to get Shannon back, they were expecting James Buchanan Barnes but they were in for a surprise, they were getting the Winter Soldier.
