Another day, another HYDRA base to knock over. The Howling Commandos were in full swing. Had been at this since before Christmas. They were a well-oiled unit. They had busted down the main door, handled the grunts and now were sweeping around. So far, so good. Making sure they werenât missing any new intel. Cap sent Bucky one way, Dum Dum and Jones the other. Him and the rest were going to the main area. Bucky kicked in a door-
Bucky froze, finger on the trigger. Head ached something fierce and his legs turned to jelly. For a second, it felt like he was still strapped to the table and this was all a fever dream from pneumonia and whatever they shot him up with. That damn doctorâs voice in his head. Pain, like he was being dipped in acid. Heart feeling like it was going to burst in his chest. And then her. Looking down at him. No angel in Hell.Â
âDidnât think you were real,â he makes out through clenched teeth. He pulls the trigger, mowing down this reminder.
When the smoke cleared, she was still standing.
