Arabella

At night we all decided to watch a movie in Tony's home theater. Pepper got to pick it, since tony is on a please Pepper binge. This one is much longer than previous ones, most only lasting two or three days. It's been a whole week since she's been back, and he hasn't stopped letting her choices be the first thing he thinks about and final decision too.

Incredibly she chose the first Godfather for us to watch, claiming that watching a three hour long movie was a perfect way for all of us to spend more than five minutes in a room without drinking involved. Nobody dared protest against her, truthfully we all wanted for her to be happy. Many times she went out of her way for us, she was a very giving person.

So we all plopped into a seat, and waited for the movie to start. Bucky was playing with my hair as I laid my head on his lap, wanting to be as comfortable as possible for a lengthy movie. The music started and names began to pop up on the screen.

I turned to lay on my stomach, my side becoming sore. Bucky's metal hand traveled down my back, finger tips grazing where my shirt had lifted just a bit. His touch made my skin raise up, and I shivered lightly. I move my head to lay facing his stomach and peer up at him fondly. He smirks down at me, and I take his right hand and press a kiss to his fingers. Bucky strokes my cheek lovingly and I turn my head back to the movie.

Buzz* Buzz* I pull my phone from my pocket and check the caller id.

Moore

'What could she possibly be calling me for this late?'

"Hold on I got to take this." I whisper to Bucky, getting up from his lap and heading out the room. Once I was in the hall I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"A...arabella?" she said shakily.

"Moore what's wrong?"

"Someone's after me, I need help!" She's crying now, pleading to me desperately.

"Who?!" I demanded.

"I don't know, but I think they know I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Where are you now?"

"By this coffee shop called Joe's coffee, please hurry!" I knew exactly where that was, having to pass it many times on my way to the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.

"I'll be there soon, stay where you are." I hang up promptly, running to the elevator without saying anything to anyone. I hear a person call my name from down the hall, but my minds running too fast for me to recognize or reply. Moore was a good agent and good friend, I wouldn't let someone hurt her.

Racing out of the building I make a right, it was a good thing that it was late, no one to run into. I see the sign for the coffee shop as I get closer. I stop when I reach the entrance.

"Moore?" I call out.

"Over here." I hear a voice from the ally besides the building, she must've hid. I walk around to the side, it's dark and I can't see anything.

"Where are you? It's me." I try to pin point her location. I walk deeper into the ally way.

Suddenly hands grab me from behind holding my arms close to my sides so I can't move. I struggle trying my best to break free.

"I would calm down if I were you." A man suggests, Moore steps out into plain sight, tears pouring down her face, a gun to the temple of her head.

"I'm ss..sorry Arabella." She stutters an apology. My eyes widen as I realize what was going on.

"Who are you?" I look closely at his face. "Knight?!" I almost yell in shock.

"It doesn't matter who I am, more who I work for. You see Arabella your creator wants you back."

My heart drops to my stomach, and I intake a small sharp breath.

"Then just let her go, she has nothing to do with this." I argue to Knight.

"Ah you see that's were your wrong, she has a lot to do with this. You wouldn't want your actions to cause her death, so if we keep her with us it insures your cooperation."

'Damn it, he's right. I wouldn't let her die for my escape.'

To prove his point, he puts a finger on the trigger of the gun and pulls it slightly.

"Fine! I'll do what you want, just don't hurt her!"

"That's the spirt!"

"How could you betray S.H.I.E.L.D. like this? How could you do this to Moore?!"

"First off I was never truly a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, I infiltrated it once we learned that Captain America was unfrozen. Secondly I don't really care about Moore, although she can definitely throw a punch. She just happened to be the person who had your number on her phone, making it the perfect way to get you out here."

He paused for a second, laughing an ironic laugh. "This was all too easy! When I saw Captain America there to get you, I knew you couldn't be just anyone, so I told headquarters and sure enough here is asset 125. Status incomplete training. So they had me find a way to bring you back, and it all just fell in place so simply."

"Let them go!" I hear a familiar voice shout behind us, the person holding me turns us around and cocks a gun to my head. Bucky is standing there, livid and ready to kill.

"Let's not make any rash decisions." Knight says mockingly.

"Leave them, take me. I'm sure that Hydra would love to have me back."

"No." I whisper quietly.

"Well I would, but Hydra doesn't want the Winter Solider, I already checked. No, they want her. She was put on the shelf long before we could complete the final stages of her training, making her more valuable to us in the moment. Don't worry, well come back for you too." Knight explained with a condensing tone.

I watch Bucky, he has a blank face no emotions to betray his thoughts. He takes a step forward and Moore cries out behind me.

"Don't! They'll kill her if you take me." I yell out in desperation. Bucky doesn't take another step. I see him clench his fist.

Suddenly there are sounds of boots hitting the floor, and men in uniforms flooded all around us. They weren't American.

"Well that's our cue to leave. I'll see you at another time Winter Solider."

I feel myself being dragged back, my eyes stay on Bucky.

"I love you." I mouth it to him, his face turns into one of pain.

My eyes stay on him until a door shuts in my face, making his form leave from my vision.

We were taken to a helicopter on a roof nearby, after being thrown in I scoot close to Moore wanting to talk to her.

"Why didn't you fight back? You can defend yourself." I harshly asked.

"They have eyes on my son, he told me they would kill him if I didn't do what they wanted me to. I didn't even tell him I had a son!" She was crying now, I took her hand and held it in mine.

"I understand, it's okay I would've done the same thing." I tell her to calm her nerves. She holds my hand back tightly. I sit back against the chair and sigh. I didn't know if we would get out of this, I could only hope that the team would come for us.

"What's your first name? I've been sparring with you and all I know is your last name."

"Erica. Thank you for saving my life." She speaks lowly.

"Don't thank me yet, we have to get away from these people first."

We don't say anything else after that. There was nothing to say, we didn't know where they were taking us, or how far it would be. I wasn't scared for myself, this not being the first time I had been kidnapped. I was scared for Erica, who knows what they would do to her? If they want me to abide by their rules, they won't do anything.

It was an extremely long time before we landed and bags were placed on our heads, although we refused to let go of each other so they wouldn't separate us. Being led down stairs and into a basement, I could tell because of the sounds, we were thrown into a room. Doors shut loudly and I pulled off the bag fast. Erica had pulled off her bag too, and was looking around our concrete cell. She looked like she was about to panic.

"Look it's going to be okay, just take deep breaths." I instruct her. She did as I said, and was starting to be relaxed.

"We are going to make it out of here one way or another, either the Avengers will come for us, or I'll find a way out before they do."

"How do you know that?"

"This isn't my first time in this situation, but lucky for you I know a lot now that I didn't back then."

She puts her head on her knees, and I lean on the wall. I did know that Hydra needed time to prep for these things, even if this was a planned out event. We had a good hour or so before someone would come back.

I stood up and looked out the small window opening in the door. There wasn't much to see on either side of the hall, just more concrete and doors. No one walked by at all, and there could be no steps heard from anywhere. That confirmed my thought of how long we'd have.

'Please hurry Bucky, I don't want to have to do this on my own.'
