❝ can you move your seat up ❞

        𝓜elody, Sam, and Steve had managed to take Bucky to an abandoned warehouse whilst he was knocked out. Her eyes softened as his arm was clamped beneath a large industrial vice, keeping him in place in case he awoke. Melody knew it was for their safety as well as Bucky's, if he were to run off mindlessly he'd risk being caught by the feds or HYDRA once more.

Guilt ate at her as she recalled the last few hours. They had gotten to him and she didn't even know about it. They managed to get into his head right in front of them all, in a facility with people who are supposed to help.

Melody glanced around her seeing Sam and Steve in the other room speaking amongst each other. Silently she approached the man and brought the sleeve of her coat to his sweaty and blooded forehead. She frowned as she dabbed the material gently against his skin.

His eyes twitched.

Melody had been to focused on his wound unaware his eyes were trained on her. His eyes glanced down to her bruised neck, he winced slightly pulling away from her, his hard eyes were now looking down in sadness.

"Hey, Cap!" Sam's voice called out from behind Melody as he grabbed her by her forearms pulling her away, wary of the man.

"Steve." Bucky murmured looking up.

Steve stood arms crossed staring down at the tired man. "Which Bucky am I talking to?"

A small smile was on his lips as he said, "Your mom's name was Sarah. You used to wear newspapers in your shoes." He chuckled lightly at the memory.

Steve's lips twitched upwards, "Can't read that in a museum."

"Just like that, we're suppose to be cool?" Sam asked looking to Steve who shrugged.

"What did I do?" Bucky asked looking from Steve to Melody who leant against the wall silently.

"Enough."

Bucky looked down shaking his head in guilt, "Oh, God, I knew this would happen. Everything HYDRA put inside me is still there. All he had to do was say the goddamn words."

"It wasn't your fault." Melody spoke up, Bucky's eyes met her own. "We understand."

"Speak for yourself." Sam muttered, earning a glare from the nymph.

"Who was he?"

Bucky shook his head, "I don't know. I never met him before." He explained.

Steve shook his head not believing his words, "People are dead. The bombing, the setup. The doctor did all that just to get ten minutes with you. I need you to do better than 'I don't know."

Bucky looked down trying to recall the interrogation, "He - he wanted to know about Siberia. Where I was kept. He wanted to know exactly where."

"Why would he need to know that?" Steve asked.

Looking up he looked between the three, "Because I'm not the only Winter Soldier."

Steve looked to Melody, "Did you know about this?" He asked.

"She didn't know." Bucky defended the blonde, both men looked from Melody to Bucky who seemed to always be on defence when it came to her, as was she with him. "I never told her. Didn't tell anyone."

"So, who were they then?" Steve asked.

"Their most elite death squad. More kills than anyone in HYDRA history. And that was before the serum." Bucky explained.

Sam rose a brow, "They all turn out like you?"

Bucky looked down as flashes formed in his mind, "Worse."

"The doctor, could he control them?"

"Enough." He nodded.

"Said he wanted to see an empire fall." Steve informed the three.

Bucky nodded, "With these guys he could do it. They speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, destabilize, They can take a whole country down in one night. You'd never see them coming." He listed off speaking about the remaining soldiers, Melody ran her hands through her hair.

"This would have been a lot easier a week ago."

"We can't call Tony." Melody voiced up answering then soldiers thought. Steve turned to Melody with a raised brow. "Still working on it." She mumbled sheepishly looking down, earning a small smile from Bucky.

"Melody's right, he won't believe us." Sam nodded.

"Even if he did . . ." Steve trailed off.

"Who knows if the Accords would let him help."

"We're on our own." Steve concluded.

"Maybe not. I know a guy." Sam nodded earning a confused look from both Melody and Steve.

Melody shrugged before walking over to Bucky whose brows furrowed as she pulled on the lever releasing his arm. She looked between the three men, "Were either of you going to release him?" She asked earning no remarks she nodded, "That's what I thought."

Bucky clutched his metal arm to him as he stood up towering over the blonde. His flesh fingers reached for her neck hovering over the bruises that decorated her neck, "Imi pare rau." He apologized his gaze burning a hole in her neck, before meeting her own. His eyes held sadness almost like a child who had done wrong to their mother.

"It's okay. Doesn't hurt." She smiled before taking his metal hand and wrapping it around her throat, "See?"

"Kinky bastard." Sam whispered to Steve who uncomfortably shifted his footing.

"Uh, we should, um, get going." He nodded to the two who remained staring at each other. "Guys?"

         𝓜elody, Bucky, and Sam sat squished in Steve's small car. A buggy to be exact. The blonde ripped opened a peace of gum reaching forwards to Sam and holding it towards him, "Bubbly?" She questioned smacking on the pink candy.

Sam shook his head looking to Steve and Sharon. With a shrug she turned to Bucky holding it out for him. Nodding he popped it into his mouth before turning his attention ahead of him. Bucky shifted in his seat next to Melody, his irritated eyes moved to Sam who sat comfortably in the passenger seat.

"Can you move your seat up?" Bucky asked in irritation.

"No." Sam deadpanned, his eyes locked on the two before them.

Bucky glared at him before he tried to slide over closer to Melody; seeing as how there was practically no space in the car he was basically sitting on the petite blonde. Melody sat against the window, as Bucky now sat in the middle of the back seat.

Sam smirked as Steve pressed his lips to the blonde. Bucky nodded with a small smile proud of his best friend.

Melody watched wide eyed, her gum fell onto the floor of the car. Reaching forwards to grab it she let out a huff. Sam glanced over his shoulder to the aggravated blonde, Bucky held onto her as she moved around trying to get comfortable. Releasing a sigh of annoyance she sat up sitting on Bucky's lap who widened his eyes at the girl in his lap.

Sam let out a groan as he looked forwards, "Keep it PG." His tone coming out almost in a plea.

"Huh?" Melody asked tilting her head.

Bucky's cheeks tinted pink as he placed his metal hand on her lower back to steady her, whilst his other held onto her legs, holding her in place.

Steve entered the car flushed, a smile surfacing on his lips. He glanced to Sam whose eyes were narrowed ahead of him, then to the two in the back seat. Where the blonde held his best friend's metal hand and ran it through her long locks. Melody offered a smile as Bucky's face was just as red as his own.

"We got our stuff." He nodded awkwardly.

"Can we just go." Sam pleaded the soldier.

"Yup." Steve nodded turning on the ignition quickly before driving to their next location.
