The asset had been unfrozen for an assignment. It had been the first time in almost a decade. He was to eliminate a senator that was the deciding vote for weather or not the United States would send soldiers to the Middle East. This particular senator was voting against Hydra's interest and that could not be permitted. The asset was brought out of his frozen slumber to take him out. The only problem was, the senator died of a heart attack before the asset got to him.
"Put him back in the chamber." Alexander Pierce ordered the scientist.
"Sir we can't do that. The asset has just been brought out of it if we put him back in so soon we could damage him or even kill him." The scientist argued.
"How long does he have to be out?" Pierce asked.
"At least forty-eight hours."
"Most of our agents have been reassigned to Europe or the Middle East. Looks like he can be of some use after all." Pierce said with a devious glint in his eye. "Soldat" He said bringing his attention back to the Winter Soldier.
"Готов к выполнению" Ready to Comply. The soldier answered
"Stark Industries has been hired by the army to provide all the weapons for the war. Tony Stark is presenting his newest missile. If he's anything like his father he probably has a safe full of plans for any projects he's working on. Intelligence says Stark has a secret getaway here in Dallas he goes to every once in a while. You're to go in and bring back any plans you find. You leave in an hour." Pierce said before walking out
An hour later the solder was dropped off on a back road near a forest. He made his way through the forest until he got to a field close to the house his handler had told him to break into. The property looked fairly normal and easy to break into. He found a window that was propped open. He slipped in and saw that the house was well taken care of. He guessed that all the bedrooms were upstairs and the best bet to look at the basement.
He found a door in a hallway leading to the kitchen. He opened it and saw that it led downstairs.
He quietly and softly padded down the stairs. The lab had been modified into a lab. He looked around and saw different scraps of metal and computers lying around. In the far end of the room there was a couch of some sort with a table in front of it.
The soldier started looking around the lab it wasn't until he caught sight of a set of brown wavy hair that he stopped. He couldn't leave any witnesses. Hydra could not afford any mistakes.
The girl was small; he could snap her neck like a twig in a second with his left hand. She wouldn't feel a thing.
He walked closer to her but she noticed he was there. She looked up from the telescope she was working on and looked up at him. He lifted his arm up to grab her but when her green eyes met his, his arm started shocking him but that wasn't what made him stop. Her eyes reminded him of something but he didn't know what. He tried clenching his fist but couldn't.
The girl got off her stool and walked over to another table and brought over a toolbox. The soldier couldn't move, he just stood there and watched her move around until she dragged a chair in front of him and patted the seat.
"Sit down and let me look at your arm. I can tell it's hurting you." The girl said.
He scrunched his eyebrows a voice in the back of his head echoed, 'Sit down Bucky, I need to stitch that up.' A woman's voice said.
"Come on, I don't bite and even if I did I have all of my shots." The girl said.
Why was she so familiar? He had never met any children, not that he remembered anyway. He glared at her confused but hesitantly sat down. The girl brought over a stool and got up so she could have a better view. She grabbed a screwdriver and tried getting the plates off. The soldier flinched when the screwdriver touched the arm. He thought back to when they last upgraded the arm and had to reattach the nerves.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world on your shoulders…"
The girl sang and he couldn't help but relax. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He saw a girl with long brown hair and green eyes holding him as she ran her fingers through his hair and hummed the same melody.
He opened his eyes when she stopped singing and placed the plates back in place.
"How does it feel?" She asked him. The soldier moved his arm a bit and nodded. The arm no longer hurt him.
She smiled and said, "What's your name?" He couldn't answer that because he didn't know and he didn't have one according to his handler. He shook his head no.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
What was he doing there? His superior was expecting him to return with blueprints but there was nothing there. No safe, no secret weapons. Just a little girl with a toolbox. A girl that if his superiors knew had seen him they would eliminate.
He looked over at the table and saw the plans she had probably drawn. He pointed at them.
The girl looked confused but got out of her seat and went over to the table. She grabbed the blueprint and rolled them up before handing them to him.
She went back to her seat and went back to work. The soldier had to leave. He should leave but for some reason he stayed right where she was and watched her work. He was there for a few minutes before she started yawning and her eyes started closing. She was falling asleep.
That was his chance but instead he started seeing the same woman as before falling asleep in his and a blonde man's lap. He carried her to her bed and tucked her in. He hesitated before picking the young girl up and carrying her upstairs. He saw a door with a blue N that looked to be decorated by a child. He walked in the room and saw a bed and other toys and books. He gently put the girl down and tucked her in.
The soldier stood up and turned around until he heard the girl call out to him.
"Wait" She cried out.
The soldier turned around. "Can you stay until I fall asleep?" She asked. He walked back and sat down on the edge of the bed. They were both quiet until the yound girl broke the silence, "You have pretty eyes, you shouldn't glare so much or your face will stay like that and…"
The soldier needed to get back but if he left she'd make a fuss.
"Shh." He said as he rubbed his back. It felt strange but familiar. He started humming the melody to the song she sang earlier. The girl closed here eyes. "Thank you shadow." She mumbled before her breathing even out and she was in a deep sleep.
The Soldier left the house the same way he got in except this time he shut the window. He arrived at the base where his handler was waiting for him.
"Did you retrieve the blue prints?" He asked.
The soldier pulled out the blueprints from his pocket.
"This isn't a weapon." His handler said angrily. "Were there any other plans?"
The soldier shook his head no.
"What a waste of time." The agent muttered. "Doctor prep the soldier. Put him back in the chamber."
"Should we wipe him again?"
"No, that's a waste of time. He wasn't out long enough to remember anything." The handler said.
The two agents pulled the soldier into the exam room. The doctor looked him over before finally instructing the agents to put him in the chamber.
The soldier started shaking. He hated the cold. He closed his eyes and tried to remain calm. He thought back to the girl in the lab. The song she sung.
"Hey Jude don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better…"
The same voice as before echoed in his head. Who is she? That was the last thing he thought of before he was frozen once more.
