6A/N- I own none of the characters in this story except the little girl. Marvel owns every character, but the little girl. She's my creation. CA: TWS never happened!
It's cold and damp where they are. The only light that they have is very dim and only of use to see outlines of objects. This is how the Winter Soldier operates. Every once in awhile some Hydra agent or higher up will come down to make an appearance to throw in food, what ever it is they are being fed, or to come and see if he is willing to comply with what they want him to do. If he doesn't they beat him for a length of time until they see the prisoner is no longer moving. When the agents leave, the prisoner uses what energy he has left to craddle the other person that's in there with him. When he sees the small person stirring and crying, he gently whispers sweet soothing words and the small child stops moving again.
After the last beating, the Winter Soldier recieved, they came back the next day and forcibly took the small person from him. He tried to fight to keep the individual safe, but he was out numbered 10-1. After several hours the small little girl was returned to him. He made a vowel a long time ago that he was going to keep her safe, and the time has come to live up to that promise.
Bucky knew that the agents would be down shortly to do their normal routine sweeps. Hell, he knew their schedule better than anyone, and so he sat back and waited until it was exactly the right time. Three guards came and went, looking and throwing insults towards the Winter Soldier, but he did nothing considering they weren't the ones he wanted. He knew he had more time to wait, so he used this time to look over the child to make sure she was okay. He helped the little girl eat and then cleaned her up as best he could. When he finished up, it was showtime. Waiting, Bucky counted the steps until they came to a stop outside of his cell. In some eerie way counting their steps calmed his nerves. Once the agents stepped into the Winter Soldier's cell, the two were out cold within seconds. Once that was done, he stripped them of their weapons in order for a safe escape out of this hell he's called a home for 70 years.
Taking a little longer than he originally thought, Bucky along with the little girl were free but the question is, what do they do now? Seeing the little girl cold and lagging behind, he knew it was time to stop for the evening and rest. He found a spot that was hidden from the world and took out a thin blanket and a stuff dog from the backpack of essentials that he packed before breaking out of the Hydra base. Sitting with his back against the tree, Bucky was watching the little girl hold her stuffed dog close, waiting. Once he opened his arms, the child crawled up onto the assassin and laid on him resting her head on his shoulder. He picked up the blanket and covered the girl up as she fell asleep. Waking up every hour, Bucky would look around to make sure that everything was okay and that there was no threat to take care of. Once he saw everything was okay, he was thinking of places to go next, what is the next best place for them. When the little girl wakes, she helps put her things away (as much as a 2 year old can). Bucky looks down at the toddler and says "Listen baby girl, once we find a snack we're going to start moving again, okay?" She nods her head motioning that she understands, and the older man smiles at her.
For a month Bucky is on the run with the little girl staying away from Hydra. Where ever they were or went, Hydra was always there. When Bucky broke out of the base, he quickly found that they were being kept in the state of California. He was now trying to get across country and it should not take a month to accomplish this. Not to his liking, he has to take some detours, and that means they are living on the streets, not knowing where they are going to sleep, where their next meal is coming from, and how can he keep this little child safe. These are all things that he has to deal with. So he quietly sneaks food from different places so at least the little girl has something to eat and he finds the best place to sleep for the night before they are on the move the very next morning. He never wanted this for the child, but he is doing the best he can with what he has.
At last, they finally make it to where Bucky wants to be. He knew that this is the safest place for the girl to be. Coming here, he knew no one would really like him or want him here, except one, but this wasn't about him, this was about her. So he gathered himself up and knocked three times on the door. When he heard movement coming from inside, he quickly pushed the little toddler behind him as a safety precaution. As the door opened, the person who answered said "Bucky? What's going on?"
A/N- Again I own nothing in the story except the little girl, Marvel owns all the rest. I just love Bucky and Cap. I'm totally team Stucky! Please leave feedback. I would love to hear what you all think of my story so far, and please be honest. Thanks everyone for reading chapter one.
