Chapter 10
Steve
They were getting away from the place when Steve heard it. It's like a thunderstorm appeared under the water. Steve felt like his eyes and ears gone silent. The calamity of it caused both of them to be thrown away violently like feathers in water . The building is breaking down.
Oh no!
That place definitely contains some humans. Humans are no good underwater. They always die.
Steve bolted towards it even with the whole body felt like it's getting crushed. If he is fast enough may be he will be able to help at least one.
But Steve could not go much further. The man caught him using both hands holding very hard. It felt like he is trying to catch Steve and drag. Steve struggled to get out of the hold but the man kept grabbing at him. Like he is going to attack. Steve's response was automatic. He instinctively caught the man and threw him away with his all the strength.
No no no no no…!!!
Steve hasn't thrown him away.
He has thrown the man towards the explosion. At the same moment another wave of explosions hit them.
The human went very still.
Is he dead?
Steve felt like everything is spinning and he wasn't sure if it was due to explosion or the fear.
He didn't have time to waste thinking. So he did the first thing he is supposed to do. Get the man to the surface.
He went up and up holding the man tight to his body with one hand. He ignored all the aches and pains his body was feeling.
He could feel the flicker of the heart from where his human was pressed to his body. So he is definitely alive.
Sun has already risen while they were under the water. Steve felt like his eyes are going blind with the morning light. The sea has become so violent following the explosion. Steve tried to get away from the place as fast as he could, keeping the man held to his side with one hand and swimming with the other and the tail.
Finally the human started to stir. He blindly reached something he was carrying at waist. The thing beeped and buzzed.
A communicator.
Steve had no idea how he knew it but he somehow understood that the gadgets the man is carrying are not important for survival. He started to pull off everything making them disappear into the sea.
The man struggled out of Steves grasp.
His face is no longer covered.
A sharp jaw, double chin, pink lips shaped like a bow.
Steve no longer understands what is going on.
The light is so bright and blinding.
Sound of a storm is filling his ears but there is no wind.
Both of them are above water but it feels like Steve is trapped in water. He can't breath.
"Bucky? "
What did he say. How could he talk?
Where does all that noise come from?
Steve knows only one thing for certain.
Steve knows that the person in front of him is Bucky.
