Chapter 9

My dad stands in front of me. His whole posture is rigid. My eyes meet his as he sends me a look that could kill me.
"Dad?" My weak voice croaks out as I stumble to my feet. I reach out for him but he flinches away harshly.
"Daddy, why are you acting like this?" I cry out as I wrap my arms around myself.
"You aren't my daughter. As far as I'm concerned, you were never born." He snarls. I shake my head back and forth rapidly.
"I am your daughter. I'm still the same girl. I didn't mean to hurt them, but they hurt me so much dad!" I try to reason with him. I try to make him understand the pain I have endured and am still going through.
"I thought you were coming to take me back home." I whimper out as I try and wipe the tears away that are falling quickly down my cheeks.
"Why would I come to take you home? You're a monster. You're worthless. I don't need you running our family name through the mud. You'll stay here, to die."
My sobs grow louder as he smirks and turns. He walks out of the door. It slams shut and I'm left alone in the dark as I let out all the pain I've been feeling out. I dig my fingernails into my skin as I let out a loud painfilled scream.
Arms wrap around me as they try and shush me. They rock me back and forth. I lean into their body heat and keep crying. I couldn't help myself. How could he say those things to me? He was supposed to come for me, he was supposed to save me from hydra and take me home. I was supposed to be back home with everyone and in my soft cozy bed. I didn't understand any of it. I thought that he would love me no matter what. I knew I was a monster, I knew it before he even said it out loud. I was told daily by the trainers that I was a monster. I could kill any weak fragile human with a snap of my fingers. I didn't ask to be like this. I didn't want to be like this. I want to be the old me.
"You need to calm down. That wasn't your real dad. It was a fake. Your real dad is here with the girl they call the Black Widow. They used him as a way to break you down so you don't go with him. You need to get out of here, baby girl." Bucks voice is whispering in my ear. I feel my heart stop.
My Dad is here? Along with my Aunt Nat? Bucky helps me up off of the ground as we move towards the door.
"I'm going to hold them back so that you can make your escape. No matter what happens, DO NOT turn back. You keep running, you get to your dad and you leave this place. Understood?"
I shake my head as I grab ahold of his arms. I hold on tightly. "I'm not leaving you, Bucky. You can come with me. We can both get out of here together!!" I say in a rush as a smile starts to make its way across my face.
"NO!! You need to listen to me, If you don't go, I can't save you. Only one of us will make it, and that person is going to be you." He kisses the top of my head before pulling away and grabbing the gun that he's been hiding.
I feel myself crying again as I try and keep my hold on him.
"James I can't leave you here. We can both make it, we just have to think of a plan!"
He sighs loudly before grabbing my upper arm. "We have 5 minutes to get you through a safe spot. Only you." He glares at me, letting me know that this wasn't up for arguments.
I nod slowly as I grab his hand into mine. "I'm going to come back for you. I can't keep you here."
"Lets just worry about getting you through safe."
We both exit the room before walking swiftly down the hallway. I didn't see any guards in site, which was unusual. There was always at least 4 stationed in this hallway. Sometimes they had more here, and after the stunt I pulled, I knew that there should be 10 or more. I shake my head trying to clear my thoughts as I follow Bucky. He was in front of me. He kept one hand out in front of me so that I wouldn't try and get in front of him. I hear yelling from the right of us.
He stops suddenly as we come to the end of the hallway. He spins around and grabs me tight.
"Now you need to run straight, don't stop for anything. No matter what you see or hear do not turn around. Not until you get to your dad." I nod my head as he hugs me one last time and then nudges me forward.
I take a deep breath before I take off sprinting. I hear yells and gunshots immediately. I push myself to run faster as I see a few guards start running at me from the left and right of me, I go to duck but they are all shot, taken down instantly. I knew right away it was Bucky who did it. I smile as I keep running but halt to a stop as I see a familiar red blast.
"DAD!!" I scream out. His head snaps towards my voice. He takes down a few more Hydra agents as Natasha handles the rest of them. He's moving fast towards me. Before I know it his arms are wrapping around my waist and pulling me along with him.
"Why is that agent shooting at the others?" Nat yells out as she comes to our side. I look and see that she's speaking about Bucky. He looks at me and nods his head. "Go" he mouths to me. I start to sob as my dad picks me up and pulls me away from him. I try and rip my way out of his grasp but his hold is tight on me.
"JAMES!!! NO!!" I scream and cry out as I see a few of our regular guards take him down with the poles that shoot out shocks that paralyze us for a few minutes. I hit my fists on my dads back as I watch my best friend being tortured for helping me escape.
My vision blurs as blackness starts to make spots in it. "No no no..." I mummer weakly before my head gives out and lays limp on my dads shoulder.
* * * * *
My eyes flutter open as I look around. I'm on a jet. I feel a hand running through my hair as I try and lift myself up.
"Rest. We are almost home." I look up into my dads eyes.
"We have to go back. We can't leave him." I rush out ignoring my dads words as I pull myself up into a sitting position.
"We can't go back. They were already abandoning the place, hun." I hear Natasha's voice say from somewhere.
"No... We can't let them keep him... They will kill him!" I panic and cry out. I see a few glasses on the table go flying and smash causing glass to fly everywhere. My powers start to go haywire. Green mist surronds me as the jet starts to tip.
"SEDATE HER!!" A deep voice screams before I feel a pinch in my neck.
"YOU BASTARD!!" I yell as my whole world starts to tilt. My knees hit the floor harshly; I claw at the hands trying to restrain me before I'm once again welcoming the darkness.
Before I fade out I hear my dads voice.
"Welcome home, Emilia."
