Bucky's P.O.V

I look around to see if Ava has escaped yet. She hasn't. This is bad. She could barely remember who she wa-is, who she is Barns, when I escaped. I can't believe she lied to me though. I'm kind of angry about that.

Okay, I lied, I am angry.

But I'm also hungry.

Like really hungry.

I want food.

Now.

I walk into the small apartment that I've been living in and look into the mirror. I can't leave here unless it's night. 'Less chance of getting caught.' The phrase pops into my head and I hear Ava's voice. I don't want to let her down. She risked her life telling me to go, to leave. But I crave humans. I want, for the first time in years, someone to talk to. Someone to tell me that I'll be okay. Someone to reassure me that Ava's okay. I shiver. It's still winter, and I have no clothes to wear out anyway. The night starts to fall and I walk out. I find some money on the ground and pick it up. $50. Food for a week, if I ration it. I walk towards the small shop that I haven't been to. I buy canned food like soup and pay for it. I walk out, slightly sad that I didn't get to talk to anyone. I'm not antisocial. Sometimes. I go back to my 'home' and eat some food. I walk out, I do need exercise, after all. I see some kids gathered around a smaller kid. Not good. 

"Okay pipsqueak, you wanna mess with me?" The biggest and baddest snarls

"No!" The kid exclaims, his eyes wide in fear

"I'm gonna teach you a lesson anyway, nerd" He growls at his friends and they grab the kid. He swings a punch but I grab his hand before it can hit the poor kid. 

"Leave him alone if you know whats good for you." I bark

"Why should I?" The kid smirk

"I work in the army, you want this on your record?" I glare at him

"No sir, sorry sir" He scampers away with his friends, I help the kid up.

"Thanks um"

"James"

"Cool, thanks James, I'm Peter." He smiles at me

"Thats okay kid, don't tell those jerks, but I don't actually work for the army, I work in the mines."

"Still, cool. Bye!" The kid walks away and I feel good.

It's been a long time since I helped someone.

Without dragging them down with me
