CHAPTER 11

BUCKY POV

I followed Rumlow into a building and down the main hallway. He stopped so I hid behind a wall quickly. He was way too happy durring training and I wanted to know why. He opened a secret door I never knew we had and I followed him in. What I saw horrified me.

He had a girl, no, woman on the table that had light brown hair that was cut to her shoulders and she was stapped down to the table with metal chains and cuffs. She was only covered and looked like she was scared by the look in her blue eyes. I instantly felt enraged. I don't know why but I felt like I should have been here to protect her.

CLINT POV

I sat chained to the wall as I couldn't help the girl on the table. The girl I thought of as my sister. I couldnt help her and that stung more than thinking I wouldn't make it back to Natasha or her back to Cap.

I heard the door open and saw Rumlow come in with a sick grin on his face as he walked towards Melody and I couldn't do anything. He ripped the sheet she had to cover her body with and started touching her and I couldn't watch anymore because she had tears streaming down her cheeks. I looked towards the other end of the room and saw a shadow move as it was moving its way towards me. I struggled as it began reaching for me and unlocking my cuffs that were strapped around my wrists and ankles.

"Will you stop stuggling?" I knew that voice and I figured out who it was as he looked at me. "I'm trying to help you two."

"Bucky?" I asked as I saw the same shade of blue as Melodys eyes in his.

"I don't know if I am or not. " His voice was cold as he slowly put the cuffs on the ground as to not tell Rumlow what we are doing. "Who is she?"

"She's your sister." I said and saw his eyes turn cold as he heard the fumble of a belt and pants fall to the ground.

I looked over as he dashed over and grabbed Rumlow by the neck and pulled him away from Mel and I rushed over to her while grabbing the sheet from the floor. I quickly unlocked her chains and let them fall to the ground while she was still so in shock she didn't know she was buck ass naked as the day she was born. I helped her up when she snapped out of it and she covered herself with the sheet.

"Can you still fight?" I asked slowly and she shook her head no. She wouldn't speak for a while, I knew some people like this. Who were taken advantage by someone when they were useless.

"I'll carry her." Bucky's voice filled my eyes as I looked over to the knocked out Rumlow. "You drag him, make sure to hit his head on everything you can," I nodded and he slowly approached his little sister as he took the mask he had on covering his mouth to see her reaction to him. To both of our surprises she flung heself into his chest and started crying her eyes out in his chest and onto his Winter Solider suit. His arms wrapped around her and he held her to him until we heard gunshots. Our team was here for sure.

Steve POV

I went in first, ready to find the love of my life only to find at least 50 HYDRA men. Ehh, I could get some frustrition out. Hulk beat me to it, though. He was tearing people left and right and I ran down the main corridor. There was piece of wall that was open where Clint was and I ran in, Natasha after me. Nat went to Cint while I slowly walked towards the Winter Solider with the girl in his arms bawling into his chest.

"Let the girl go." I said while pointing a gun at his head.

"Steve?" The girl asked as she looked up from his chest and saw Melody. "Bucky let me go." He did as she said and I dropped my Shield and gun on the ground to catch her as she flew into my chest.

"Thank god you're okay." I whispered into her hair as she held onto me for dear life. Thats when I noticed she was only covered by a sheet and Rumlow was on the floor with no pants or underwear on. That's when I put two and two together and held Melody closer to me trying to cool my anger a little bit.

"Get Rumlow secured and put some pants on him. When we get back to the tower we'll interogate him." I said as I picked Melody up bridal style and started to walk out of the door with Nat and The Winter Solider behind me. I don't trust him yet.

When I got back to the Quinjet Melody was sleeping and I let Bruce take a look at her wrsits and ankles as those were the worst parts that were brusied of what I could see. The Winter Solider sat on the other side as everyone else staring at Melody who was on the middle piece of the jet. She was still his sister no matter how badly I don't like it. Clint came and sat next to me after Bruce looked at him too.

"What all did Rumlow do to her?" I asked him a few moments after everyone was talking which was rare. Nat was sitting next to Winter talking to him. Bruce was listening to music, and Tony was flying the plane.

"That's not my place to tell and you know that." He answered but was still looking at his partner SHIELD had assigned him after Natasha was placed with me.

The rest of the ride back to the Tower was silent between everyone on the Jet. Even Tony was silent which was surprising to me. Clint went up and asked if he wanted to switch but he said no. When we got bact to the tower, Maria was there to greet us. Winter (his new nickname for me) met his new clone that they stared at eachother for a good twenty minutes before greeting eachother. I carried Melody to the small infirmary in the tower and Bruce had taken some tests on her while she was sleeping.

I can't believe I let this happen. We were supposed to have no more worries in our lives except mabye the occassional mission here and there but we didn't sign up to ficht HYDRA a second time. What happened on that mission I do not know but I plan on finding out. Wether it's from her or a tourtured Rumlow, I will get the information.

TIME SKIP!

MELODY POV

Bruce had told me what all happened to me which I already knew but luckily it was just us two. I didn't want Steve or the Bucky duo to know exactly yet. Clint knows what happened but not all of it, they moved him into my room after mainly all the bad stuff.

You may be wondering what the Bucky Duo is. It is the two Bucky's- simple as that. I settled for calling them that when I woke up and they were both there holding each hand, ready to comfort me. One is super nice and outgoing while the other is cold most of the time to everyone else but me and Steve as we have known him for a while now. Bucky 1 is the original but he has taken liking to being called James.

I sat on the balcony looking over New York. It felt weird being alone now. I've got two brothers now, an amazing boyfriend, two science nerds, two assassins and a Norse God. I've never had to feel alone since there is always someone there to talk to.

"Whatch'a got your mind on?" Bucky 1 asked as he sat next to me with two beers. I shook my head. The man never changes- even after being brainwashed by a Nazi Rouge Science division.

"Everything that can be going on in a brain." I said before taking a sip from the beer. It tasted funny, like it had been mixed with Vodka.

"How's the relationship?" He meant me and Steve.

"Pretty good as he's hellbent on tourturing Rumlow for what he did to me." My original brother laughed and slung his arm over my shoulder while staring at the other one with distaste. "You can't change the past, James." I said gently as I reached for the Metal Arm. He moved it away before I could even get close to it.

"I wish I would've just died that day and they didn't find me."

"Don't you dare say that!" I said angrily as I turned him to look at me. "If they never would've found you, you wouldn't be here right now!"

"I also never would've done all the horrible things they made me do!" He yelled.

"James! I don't care about what you did! It's in the past!"

"I killed Howard." I stopped. His voice was quiet.

"What?" My voice broke.

"I killed Howard. They made me kill him." His voice got stonger. Tears were flowing down my cheeks. "If I hadn't been found they wouldn't have made me kill him. Maybe he'd still be here. Sure he might be old but he'd still be here." I couldn't handle it anymore. I fell to the ground on my knees while sobbing my eyes out.

"What did you say to her?!" Steve came out onto the balcony to where I was on my knees crying my eyes out.

"I told her that I was the one who killed Howard." I couldn't even function but what I could do was get up and run. I ran all the way to the park and climbed a tree. I sat crying in the top branch while Steve came and shouted my name from a few trees away.

"Come on, Mel! You can't be out here alone!" He called and I stared down at him before jumping from the branch and onto my feet behind him which made him turn around really quick and into a fighting posistion. "Are you okay?" He pulled me into his arms and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"I will be."
