people where shouting, I could hear them, just barely...orders where being given to the people surrounding me, I couldn't make out what was being said, the cuffs on my hands and feet where loosened and I was pulled up and dropped back down onto my back, I screamed, the pain was unbearable. a shirt was pulled down over my body, pulled up and forced to stand.
more shouting, some in English some not, I couldn't focus, to much was happening, my body started to tingle a feeling I knew well, I could feel the heat building in my veins, could sense the fire dancing at my finger tips, before I could do anything a hand wrapped round my waist
"I don't think so" was muttered into my ear before I was stabbed in the back, the pain was abnormal, I couldn't understand why it hurt so bad, keeping my eyes trained on the door, I could feel myself getting weaker the more blood poured from the wound, I fell to my knees, my eyes grew heavy as the door caved in, laughing echoed behind me, knife held securely at my back, the tip biting at my skin..
I shot up from my current position to looking round the room trying to move past the fog in my head, a hand touched my arm, I jumped back.
fear numbed my senses as my back hit the wall, tears where running down my cheeks
"Liv, Liv its me"
"Please...please don't hurt me" I cried
"Liv its Bucky, your okay, no one is going to hurt you"
I looked up, the room was dark, my eyes adjusted and I could make out Bucky's form, his vibranium arm shining slightly against the light coming from the TV, Bucky moved forward slowly, kneeling down in front of me, concern etched into his face "Bucky?"
"Yeah Liv its me, your alright, your safe, it was just a bad dream" Bucky soothed reaching his arm out slowly, without thinking I launched myself against him, wrapping my arms round his neck, Bucky's arms went round my waist, resting his chin on the top of my head, more tears made their way down my my face soaking the fabric of his T-shirt, Bucky ran his hand down my back in a soothing motion
"Shhh, Liv, its okay, your safe, your fine" Bucky whispered against my head.
I don't know how long we stayed like that when I slowly pulled away and looked up at him, i felt heat crawl across my cheeks as moved away, I wiped my eyes on the sleeve of my shirt, I looked up at Bucky again, "Sorry about that" I muttered, Bucky smiled softly "Its no problem doll, happens to the best of us" I nodded at him standing up I walked towards the fridge,
"You have nightmares to?" I asked turning and offering him a bottle of water,
Bucky caught the bottle removing the cap and taking a drink, "Yeah, not every night, not anymore, but most nights I do"
"But I though Shuri removed they Hydra brain washing"
"She did, but it didn't remove the memories" Bucky shrugged as he dropped down onto the couch, I frowned as I sat next to him "it is what it is doll, recovery is hard but you'll get there"
"Thanks Bucky" I smiled, I checked the time, seeing it was half five I signed, we had half an hour before we need to meet Steve for training
"Hey, wanna come with me to the kitchen? I'll make breakfast" I nodded towards the clock "Better to be fed before my first training session in months"
Bucky laughed "I'll meet you out front in five, just going to get changed" I nodded and waved as he walked out the room, walking over to the wardrobe I grabbed a paid of running shorts and a baggie white t-shirt, grazing my hand over the crop tops I used to wear, shaking my head i grabbed some underwear and a sports bra before walking to the bathroom to change, I tied my hair back in a high pony tail, grabbing my running shoes walking out the door to Bucky standing outside waiting on me,
"Ready for some breakfast?" I questioned walking past him
"Ready and waiting doll"
I smiled as we walked the familiar route to the kitchen, opening the door the room was quiet as I set about grabbing bacon, eggs and sausages from the fridge, waiting on the pan to heat I started the coffee machine, watching a steady stream of coffee fill the pot, I looked over at Bucky as he grabbed two plates and two mugs from the cupboard, he was wearing grey sweats and a tight blue T-shirt, black running shoes, I stood and watched the muscles in his back move under the tight fitting shirt as he reached for another two plates, before turning round and facing me again a smirk playing on his lips,
"Like what you see doll?"
"Haha very funny, I wasn't looking at you, I got lost in thought for a second" I lied, feeling my face heat up, Bucky laughed as he set the plates and mugs out on the table, after a 10 minutes all the food was ready just and Steve and Sam walked in,
"up for some breakfast?" I Asked holding the pan up
"Yes please Liv" Sam grinned taking a seat next to Bucky, Steve smiled and sat at the other side of Bucky filling his with coffee before adding milk and sugar, handing Bucky and Sam their plates before working in Steve's and mine,
"How I have missed training with Liv" Sam groaned shovelling food into his mouth
Steve and Bucky started laughing while I looked over at Sam "Sam, I know you know how to cook"
"yeah, but your cooking is a million times better then any of ours" Sam replied not looking up from his plate
"Seriously, its bacon, sausage and eggs, nothing special" I muttered clearing away the dirty dishes and finishing my coffee before following the guys outside, we started our run, half way through my chest was burning, stopping to catch my breath and taking a drink of my water, I watch Steve, Bucky and Sam running ahead of me, Steve and Bucky keeping an even pace while Sam was trying to keep up, smiling to myself I started running again, feeling the burn in my calves as i reached the end point I stopped and fell onto my back, arm over my face shielding my eyes from the sun, breathing heavy as my muscles relaxed "God I am so out of shape" I muttered
"It wont take long for you to get your stamina back" Steve smirked down at me
"Sure cap" I muttered "Help me up?"
Steve grabbed my arm pulling me from the ground, I smiled a thanks and reached down and pulled my top over my head, grabbing my water and taking a drink, I turned round and see all 3 guys staring at me, i looked at them questioningly "What?"
"Liv...your back" Sam muttered, I looked over at Steve who looked equally as shocked, Bucky kept his eyes trained on my face
"What about my..." I trailed off as realising what they where talking about "Shit" I muttered turning away from them "Fuck" I pulled my T-shirt back over my head before turning back to them.
"Liv, w-what happened?" Steve asked
"Nothing, don't worry about it" I smiled, but inside I wanted the ground to swallow me up, time to change the subject, "anyone up for Sparring?" to which I was met with complete silence, "Bucky" I looked over at him as he looked up meeting my eyes "spar with me?"
"Oh..uh sure Liv" Bucky smiled following me into the gym, I opened the door to the gym, the scent of sweat and rubber filled my nostrils the further in I walked, grabbing a couple of training mats before turning to look at Bucky who was already taping up his hands, I smiled at him before taping up my own and taking the fighting stance at one end of the matt
"Come on then grandpa" I smirked.
"That's not attitude for someone who hasn't sparred in 4 months" Bucky laughed coming to join me on the matt, walking towards him I smirked behind my hands, keeping my focus on Bucky, watching for any trick shots he might pull, after 10 minutes I felt like I was doing okay and that's when Bucky pinned me, pinning my hands above my head, and straddling my lap smirking down at me, i looked up and met his icy blue eyes, his smile lighting up his features,
"Okay point made, get off me" I laughed, Bucky smirked again before standing up and reaching down to help me, felling butterflies in my stomach I smiled back.
