Bucky
They ran in and Bucky sprinted towards the hallway they'd dragged Steve in. The ex-assasin prayed they wouldn't be too late.
"Please don't let it be to late. Fight for me, baby. Come on." He muttered as he ran. The hallways were surprisingly empty.
Then an ear-piercing scream filled the empty space, and Bucky almost collapsed. That was just like the scream when Steve got the super serum (yes they had that on tape)... It had to be him.
"No." He choked out, almost going down on his knees.
"Keep running popsicle, maybe we can still save him." He heard stark say, and so Bucky did, following Starks instructions, as he had apperantly located Steve.
Eventually they got into a dark room that reeked of piss and blood and...burned. Memories came back with such force that Bucky wanted to curl up and cry.
He fought 50 squids instead, his vision turning red when he saw Steve strapped down and unconscious. The doctors had fled, of course. Before he knew it he broke the last gun in two with a roar and knocked the last man out.
"All right. Let's get to business."
Stark untied Steve and Bucky gathered him in his arms.
"Steve, Stevie. Please... You gotta open them baby blues... Stevie...please..."he watched that angelic face and couldn't think straight anymore. What if Steve didn't remember him anymore? What if Steve didn't wake up?
"Let's go, Metallica." Tony said, breaking Bucky's panicked daze, and Bucky pressed Steve close as they ran back to the helicarrier. Unfortunately, the squids had called for backup.
"Go." Tony said. "get Steve to safety. Thor will be here any moment and he'll help me. Go."
Bucky nodded and ran for the helicarrier. He heard thunder not much later and smiled.
"Hear that Stevie? They won't hurt you no more, Tony and Thor will make sure of that." His voice was shaking, so was his hand when he reached out for Steve's face.
"Wake up Stevie."
