Chapter seventeen - Kidnapped.

Evan stares at Amelia and Bucky disbelievingly. He just wanted to come home from work and relax, and now it seems that HYDRA could come at anytime and kill them all. I mean yes, he wanted excitement. He wasn't anything important at work, he wasn't aloud to see the Avengers, or go on missions, and he rarely even saw Nick Fury, he was just a computer guy. But he wanted to be something more. He wanted to go on missions, and he wanted to save peoples lives.

Amelia takes a sip of her tea, and Bucky sits next to her awkwardly.

"So, he broke into your kitchen through your window, tried to knock you out, then despite that you decided to help him, and he's been living with you ever since?"

"Yes." Amelia nodded.

"Right..." Evan muttered, inspecting Bucky. Bucky looked at Amelia and then back at Evan, wondering why Evan had such a fascination with him. "So Bucky Barnes was the Winter Soldier?"

"Evan." Amelia muttered, sending him daggers with his eyes. He slouched down in his seat.

"Sorry, it's just- I can't believe it. I mean," Evan looked at Bucky again, "So how awesome was Steve? What was it like being his best friend?"

"Uh... I don't remember..." Bucky mumbled.

"We haven't got much time, I ditched my car a while back but I'm sure they'll be able to find us again. Is there anyway you can get into contact with Steve?"

"What?" Bucky's eyes widens.

"Don't you think I've already tried that?" Evan replied, sighing.

"You can't let SHIELD find me." Bucky panics. Evan looks over at him.

"Dude, SHIELD won't harm you. I work for them, they're good people, they'll help you."

"You work for them?!" Bucky snaps. He looked over at Amelia who stared at him apologetically, "You said you wouldn't take me there."

"I didn't!" She defended herself, "It just so happens that Evan works for them. Listen, we don't have to call SHIELD, but I'm sure Steve would be willing to help."

"It doesn't matter anyway, I can't get into contact with him." Evan started.

"Of course you can! You've just been too worried to try. I've seen you hack into different accounts and personal data back in London."

"Yeah, but that was us having a laugh. I hacked into my old bosses profile to see if he was dating Linda! This is hacking into SHIELDS data base, I won't even get close!"

"What other choice do we have?" Amelia stares at him, her eyes begging him to do this for them. Evan stares back at her, and he tries to look away, because he knows he always falls for them eyes. He would feel guilty if he didn't help her, because he couldn't stand seeing sad eyes all the time. He lets out a sigh.

"I'll be fired for this."

"I'm pretty sure if Steve knew you had Bucky you wouldn't get fired. More like a promotion, or a meda-"

"Alright, alright. I'll do it."

Amelia smiles happily. Evan groans and sits up, abandoning his previous seat. He lazily trotted to the spare room where his computer was. Amelia and Bucky sit up too and follow after him.

Bucky didn't feel too great about this. Was he ready to see Steve? After all he had done? What would happen to him? Surely Steve would inform S.H.I.E.L.D about it.

"Hey, you okay?" Amelia half whispers to him as they stand around Evan's computer. Evan turns it on and sits down on a stool. Bucky's lips twitch up into a smile so she wouldn't worry, but deap down he wasn't feeling okay. He was worried that HYDRA would find him again. He was worried that he had done too much damage in the past that Steve wouldn't accept him as a friend any more.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, Evan's going to try and get into contact with your long lost friend who you tried to kill multiple of times and he also works for SHIELD where HYDRA had recently taken over."

"Okay yeah, I may be slightly worried."

"I know," Amelia smiles at him, then gently punches his arm jokingly, "You'll be fine. You got us."

Suddenly a loud noise erupted from Evan which startled Amelia and Bucky. Evan sneezed so loudly that his head shook and his fist collide with the desk in front of him. Amelia and Bucky stare at him like he was some kind of alien.

"Sorry 'bout that." Evan apologizes, wiping his noise with some tissue. He immediately gets to work, and he starts typing a load of complicated codes into a bar. Bucky and Amelia stare at his computer, already confused. "This might take awhile," Even says, "I still can't believe I'm doing this."

"Well, we're going to leave you to whatever you're...doing." Amelia says, still looking at his computer and super-speed typing with bemusement. She lets out a small yawn. Bucky notices it and immediately feels a wave a guilt again. He remembers waking her up that morning. Her life would have been much easier if he didn't come in to it. HYDRA knows what she looks like now, nothing will be the same for her again. She gets up and kisses Evan of the cheek, "Thanks for this."

"It's alright." Evan replies. Amelia smiles and leaves the two guys alone, and Bucky stands there awkwardly, staring at Evans cheek where Amelia had pecked him with her lips. He didn't really know what to do, so he follows after Amelia.

Bucky walks into the living and saw Amelia coming from downstairs, carrying a blanket. She jumps onto the couch and cuddles into the blanket, grabbing the remote. Bucky looks down and smiled, he wasn't sure why he thought she was so amazing. He slowly approached her and sat next to her on the couch.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, you did have to leave your home and run away from a bunch of HYDRA agents who were trying to kill us." He mocks. She lets out a laugh, and he smiles at her. She was acting as if it never happened. At least she wasn't panicking as much, Bucky wouldn't know what to do if she was. It goes silent again as she starts to focus on changing the channel. He wasn't sure if he should bring up the subject about her and Evan, but he wanted to know. It sounded stupid but he was at least curious. "So, uh..." He pauses again, unsure, "So, are you and Evan like, a thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, did you ever..." He trails off, and she looks at him, finally understanding what he was talking about. She starts laughing.

"Whats so funny?" Bucky asks, feeling stupid. Amelia shakes her head, still laughing, and nudges Bucky playfully.

"No, we're not dating. I wouldn't be his type anyway."

"You're every ones type." He states as if it was obvious. He found it hard to believe that she wouldn't be someones type. It was hard not to like her. Amelia raises her eyebrow, but ignores it. She didn't believe she was every ones type, it was impossible to be everyones type.

"Not his."

"Why?"

"It doesn't matter, point is we're not dating, okay?"

"...Okay."

She lets out one more laugh before turning her attention back to the TV. Bucky didn't know why she was so calm, or why she acted so normal. I mean, they had kissed. Did that not matter to her? Why was she was acting like it had never happened? Shouldn't she at least be awkward around him and be wanting to talk about it?

"So... what are you going to do when you see Steve?" Amelia questions, snapping him out of his thoughts. He smirks.

"Tell him what an annoying ass you've been." He joked. Amelia gasped in pretend shock.

"After all I've done for you?"

He sent her a playful wink, and she rolled her eyes.

"I see how it is."

"I'm joking, of course I'll mention how amazing you've been." Bucky tells her. She smiles and blushes slightly, and says a quick thank you to him. Amelia decided to put a random film on, although she didn't really know what it was about. She was sure that Evan would be done soon anyway, he was normally quick at this stuff.

And she was right. About twenty minutes later Evan walked into the living room, his face filled with worry as he stood in front of the TV, blocking Amelia's and Bucky's view.

"...I think you better come in here."

Amelia and Bucky looked at each other before sitting up and following Evan into the spare room where Evan was sat for half an hour. Evan sat down on his stool, and Amelia and Bucky towered over him, looking down at his immaculate computer.

"So, what are we looking at?" Bucky asked, scanning his computer screen.

"I couldn't hack into Steve's Data file, it was too risky and it was too protected. But, what I could hack into is the messages that have been sent from agent to agent. Such as orders, missions, etcetera." Evan begins. Amelia furrows her brows. Why did Evan look so worried about that?

"And what did you find?"

"Well, there's no way in hell we're going to be able to get in contact with Steve."

"Why?"

"Because he isn't anywhere to be found."

"What do you mean?" Bucky looked at Evan with confusion. Why can't anyone find him? Did he run away? Is he dead?

"Look, everyone's sending out missions and orders. Most of them are telling agents of SHIELD to find Steve; to check certain places, certain organisations, buildings-"

"But why isn't Steve here?" Amelia cuts him off, demanding to know. Evan sighs.

"Because he's been kidnapped."

It falls to an uncomfortable silence. Amelia just continues to stare at Evans screen, and Bucky stands up straight, gulping quietly. Knowing that he would have to save Steve, not just because he had to, because he wanted to. Because he needed to, for his own sake.

"I think I know who kidnapped him."

Evan looks up at Bucky and Amelia snaps her head towards him. They stare at him, waiting for him to continue. Bucky lets out a sigh, and tightens his fist.

"HYDRA."
