Bucky

I couldn't believe they took her from me. Why didn't she come to me for help? I could've saved her friend, or been the one to be taken instead.

'She wasn't going to let you fight her battles.'

I should've done more or fought those men. But then that women would have died and I know that Arabella wouldn't have forgiven me or herself for that. I rushed back to the team as soon as I couldn't see her anymore, they would definitely help get her back. I got back to the theater room, and slammed the door open.

"Arabella's been taken."

Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. The movie that was playing shuts off and they come and crowd around me.

"Where the hell were you when this happened?" Tony demanded angrily. Steve stepped up, holding his hands up palms out.

"Hold on Tony. What's going on?" Steve looked at me seriously.

"Hydra took Arabella and one of the agents as leverage for her. We have to find her!" I explain fast, wanting to start looking for her as soon as possible. Steve's face filled with worry and determination. He nodded his head in confirmation.

"Oh really cap, you're not even going to question why the fuck he didn't try and save her then?" Tony remarked with astonishment.

"I was getting to that Tony!" Steve yelled.

"We don't have time for this! Let's go!" I was getting mad at the point, here they are arguing when we could be on our way already.

"Go where? We don't even know where their taking her."

"Look just tell us everything about it, that's a way to start." Natasha tried, becoming the mediator of the group.

I tell them everything that I saw, and what the double agent Knight said. Tony quickly went to his computers saying her needed to look for key information for tracking her down. Everyone besides Pepper suited up, getting ready for a battle with Hydra. Now we all played the waiting game.

I felt myself becoming angry. Hydra took her, from me, again. The love of my life, my rock that held me down to earth. I was feeling desperate and lost without her hand in mine. Her touch could sooth the beast inside, the winter solider. She wasn't here, and that made the side that I didn't like want to come out and find her himself.

I paced in Tony's living room, as did Steve. The whole team was in here, waiting for Tony to come with information on Arabella's whereabouts. I could tell Steve was just as worried as I was, but he did a better job at keeping his emotions in check.

He was trying to be level headed and collected. I couldn't do that, not with her so unsafe and she being my lifeline. I would be calm once she was in my arms again. Until then rage would be what I felt.

An hour passed before Tony came out, suited up and determination on his face. He stood in the middle of the room and looked around.

"Alright so here's the deal, they took her to Moscow, Russia. Also the girl that has being used to bait Arabella was Erica Moore, a S.H.I.E.L.D agent that sparred with her too. They have her son under watch, I already send someone to deal with that. Me by myself I can get there in a few hours, all of us together it's going to take about a day. My choice would be to let me go alone, and I'll get them back here and safe by the next morning."

"No way Stark, I'm not sitting here and doing nothing while I put her safety in your hands." I argue firmly, upset he would even suggest it.

"Right because you did so much when you had the chance." He glared. I felt my resolve falter with his words.

'He's right I should've done more.'

"Hey! No that's not fair Tony. We all would've done the same thing that he did, we couldn't have let an innocent person die. We are all going to go and get her, I agree with Bucky on that, she's my sister I'm going to be there to get her." Steve spoke, finalization in his tone.

Nothing else needed to be said, and we headed out to Tony's private helicopter on his landing pad outside on the porch. I got in and took a seat near the doors, wanting to be the first one out when we get there. I thought of Arabella's nightmare.

I watched the T.V a show call How it's Made was on, it was really late now it being 2:30 AM. Arabella was in my arms, her head on my chest. One hand laid on my stomach the other hand gripped my metal arm; that part surprising me. I didn't know that she would take comfort in it, holding it like she would my flesh arm.

My throat was dry but I had been waiting to get up and drink some water because I didn't want to wake Arabella. I couldn't take it anymore, so I gently move her to the other side of the bed and made my way to the kitchen to get a drink.

I was sipping my water when I hear a cry from our room, I put my glass down and quickly rushed back. I run in to see Arabella thrashing and screaming in pain.

"NO! Don't bring it any closer!"

I pulled her into my arms, trying to prevent her from hurting herself.

"Arabella! Wake up, it's just a dream." I'm rocking her back and forth. She stops moving and looks up at me.

"What a beautiful end to my nightmare." She whispers, I could tell she was still dreaming because she lifted her hand to my cheek like she hadn't seen me in a long time. I don't comment, I simply hold her close, and stroke her hair until I fell asleep too.

The next morning she didn't mention a nightmare, or even seem to realize what on with me there the night before. I didn't bring it up either, deciding to leave it at that. I knew her dream had to do with something of Hydra. When she told me that she was still alive the same way I was, I knew what it meant and that she didn't want to talk about it. It brings me so much anger and grief to know that they had hurt her like me, I didn't want her to go through anything that I did.

When that man told me that she hadn't completed her training I was relieved and terrified. She hadn't been through the worst, but they were planning to put her through it soon if I didn't get her back in time.

I would kill anyone who laid a hand on her, consequences be damned. Without her nothing mattered to me, not a safe life or a life at all.

"Hey Buck, I know that you're worried but we'll get her back." Steve said as he sat down next to me.

"I'm not worried, I'll get her back and I'll kill anyone who stands in my way." I say completely calm. I knew that she's be safe with me soon, one way or another. With that in mind I wasn't anxious or filled with anger, just one mission on my mind.

"You're right about that." Steve commented with blunt certainty. He knew where this was heading, but he wouldn't fight me with on this. Hydra had caused too much damage in our lives they had to pay for everything they did and had to be stopped before they could do more harm.
