《You're the guy my dad never shut up about? | S. Rogers [1]》52. Bucky

Mariana ran down the corridor. There's a door in the middle of the corridor and she pushed it open, ran down and took a right. Two men in white lab coats came from around the corner and Mariana narrowly avoided slamming into them. She continued running without giving the men a second glance. The large metal door is up ahead. She swiped her card, punched in the code and ran inside.
The screams of the Winter Soldier echoed around the room as he's getting his memory wiped. Mariana paid him no attention and ran up to Richard who's overseeing the Winter Soldier mind wipe.
"What is it Mariana?" Richard gave her a quick glance.
"We broke her" she panted.
"What?" Richard looked over to her.
"We broke her" Mariana repeated, a Margaery Tyrell smirk on her face.
The door to Galilea's room slid open, Richard and Mariana stepped in.
"Is it true?" Richard asked Castiel who's sitting on a chair by the monitors.
Castiel stood up with his tablet, a picture on the screen. He went over to the glass cell where Galilea is sitting on the mattress. She has a blank look on her face. Her shiny brown eyes are dull, her brown hair is in knots, her head is slightly tilted to the side. She looks like a damaged, haunted, porcelain doll.
Castiel approached the glass and lightly tapped the glass "little Galilea?" He called softly.
Her eyes flickered up and a small smile appeared on her face "hello Castiel"
"Can I show you something?" He asked. She nodded.
Richard and Mariana stood at either side of Castiel and held up his tablet, a picture of Clint Barton on the screen. Galilea flinched and blinked hard "do you know who he is?"
She thought about it for a moment "Hawkeye" she answered.
"And this?" He swiped left.
She flinched again. "The Hulk"
Castiel nodded and showed another picture "him?"
Gali whimpered and looked away "Captain America" she whispered.
"Last one, okay? Who is he?"
Galilea backed up in her bed, fear in her eyes "no" she shook her head.
"It's okay, little G" Castiel softly said "who is he?"
"...Iron Man" she looked away "please stop" she whispered.
Castiel put the tablet down and walked away with the other two Hydra agents "how did you do it?" Richard asked.
"Well you have been shocking her to no end" Castiel began.
"And the fighting with the Winter Soldier and the smacking around. She was bound to snap" Mariana finished.
"Have you been giving her her dosages?" Richard asked Castiel.
"Haven't missed one" Castiel said.
Richard nodded, glanced over at the broken Galilea sitting on the mattress and turned back to the two young agents "we'll continue with that" he pointed at the tablet "more fighting with the Winter Soldier and get some of her blood. She trusts you, we need her to keep trusting you" Richard told Castiel. He nodded.

"Have her healed, cleaned up and get her something to eat. We need her at her best for him" Richard said.
Galilea stared at the backs of the three Hydra agents. She can't hear what they're saying but she figures they're planning out what to do with her next. None of them are paying attention to her so she slid onto the mattress with a small smile on her face. Suckers.
"Why are you taking me back to him? Last time I got a concussion"
"You need to train" Mariana answered.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because you do, now shut it!"
Gali raised her eyebrows "alright Meg" she muttered. Castiel held back his amused smile.
They made it to the fighting cell and the Winter Soldier is already there "ah, Winter Soldier, we meet again" Galilea smiled "why do you have that mask?" she tapped the mask covering the bottom half his face "it's like Loki" she mused. She looked up at him, into his blue eyes. He stared right back into her big brown eyes "who were you?" She whispered.
"A casualty of war" Castiel said as he dragged Galilea away from the Winter Soldier.
"What do you mean?" She was confused.
"Nothing" Castiel shook his head.
Richard entered the room "are we ready?" He looked around the room.
"What, to die? Sure" Gali nodded "no handcuffs this time, huh?" She smirked.
"Don't make me regret it" Richard muttered.
"Kidnapping me was your biggest regret. I can see it in your eyes" she smiled.
He took in a deep breath "Soldier" he nodded to Gali and he wasted no time on launching at her.
She let out a small scream and stepped aside just as his metal arm threw a punch. His metal arm went through the bars of the cell and it hit Castiel in the guy. Galilea let out a loud laugh "that was great! Can you do that again?" She asked the Winter Soldier.
He pulled his arm back in and slowly turned to Galilea. Her smile dropped and her eyes widened when she saw the look of death in his eyes. She might not be able to see his whole face, but the emotion in his eyes can be seen as bright as day. She ducked a hit and punched him in the stomach. She rounded him and stood on the other side of the cell.
She doesn't know what to do. What is one suppose to do in that situation? The light casted a shine on the metal arm and Gali panicked. She crossed her arms in front of her and pushed the Winter Soldier back. She went at him but he blocked the punch.
"Can't you just let me get one punch in?" Galilea asked in exasperation. He didn't say anything and advanced on her "not much of a talker, huh?" She let out a deep breath "it's the quiet ones with the darkest secrets" she let out another small scream and ran around him.

The fighting went on for another ten minutes. It was mostly Galilea talking and avoiding getting hit, but then he would hit her and she would strike back and they got in a well fought hand to hand combat. She used some Black Widow moves, the ones Natasha taught her a couple years back.
She was doing well, overpowered the Winter Soldier a couple times but he would strike back "Castiel get your pen out!" Galilea shouted as she kicked the Winter Soldier to the ground "you're writing my will- ah!" She was swooped off the floor and quickly got up.
She's getting tired and bruises are forming on her face and body, she wants everything to end. An idea popped in her head. One special movement that works every time and Natasha wasn't very fond of. Galilea ran at the Winter Soldier and latched herself onto him. She's on his back, her legs wrapped tightly around his torso and her arms wrapped around his neck.
"What is that idiot doing?" Mariana asked. Castiel groaned in response. She glanced down at the man sitting on a chair, a hand over his stomach and a frown on his face "actually that was kinda great" Mariana smiled as the image of Castiel getting punched in the gut, played in her head. He flipped her off.
"Hee hee hee!" Galilea chuckled "try to push me off now"
The Winter Soldier slammed his back against the bars and Gali winced but she didn't let go. He tried to pull her off but she tightened her grip around him. He struggled for a minute with the girl until finally he was able to pull her off.
Galilea felt herself being pulled off the tall man and she tried to hold onto him but she was thrown across the cell. She heard a clank against the bars and turned her head to see the mask laying on the ground. Galilea quickly looked up and saw the man's face.
He's a couple feet away from her and she stared at the man. Something about him seems familiar. She scanned his face, his hair, his blue eyes. If his hair were shorter then he would look just like... Oh my god... It can't be.
Galilea has seen pictures of him, she grew up hearing stories about him. The only Howling Commando to give his life in service of his country. That's why she was hesitant to even consider it but she can't deny that it's him.
"Bucky?" She breathed out.
He stared at Galilea hard and in confusion "who the hell is Bucky?" He questioned.
"Y- y- you're Bucky" Galilea slowly stood up "James Buchanan Barnes" he stared at Galilea in confusion.
Richard who's outside the cell with everyone else, abruptly stood up "get them out!" He ordered. The people around the cell tried to get the door open but it got damaged because of a miscalculated punch by the Winter Soldier.
Galilea took a small step towards Bucky "how are you alive? You fell out of a moving train" Bucky eyed the girl in front of her. The back of his mind is itching. There's something about her...
"Get the damn door open!" Richard yelled.
"It's stuck!" They yelled back.
"You're Steve Rogers best friend. Captain America" Galilea softly said "you knew my dad, Howard Stark"
Richard was getting impatient and everyone was trying to get the cell door open. They pulled and pulled but it only moved a bit.
"My name is Galilea Stark" she pointed to herself and took another step closer to him. He stared at her with uncertainty "Steve is alive, Bucky. Remember him? You two are childhood friends. You were together in the war"
Something flashed before Bucky's eyes. An image of a blond man in a blue uniform yelling out "Bucky!" And Bucky falling into the snow. Another image of a tan man with dark hair and a mustache. Brown eyes like Galilea's. He vaguely remembers the name Stark, but something deep inside him clicked when he heard the name.
"S-Steve?" Bucky asked.
"Yes. Do you remember?" Gali smiled small.
"I- I-"
The door was pulled open and agents rushed in and pulled the two away.
"No! No! Leave me alone!" Galilea struggled in the arms of the agents holding her back.
"Wipe them now!" Richard ordered.
"But-" Castiel went to protest.
"NOW!" He gave a short nod and got hold of Galilea.
"No, wait, Bucky! Buck! You have to remember Bucky!" Gali yelled as she was being taken away, staring at Bucky the whole time. He was confused but for some reason wanted to fight back.
He was being dragged out of the room from one end while Galilea was being dragged out of the opposite way. She screamed and fought the whole way but she was dragged to a room where her memory will be wiped. She was forced into a chair and Galilea's heart raced.
"No, no, what are you doing? What are you doing?" She looked around at the men in bow ties who are preparing the machine.
Her chest heaved as she breathed heavily, her eyes wide and horror filled. She doesn't know what's going on but she has the feeling that it's going to be bad.
"Castiel! Castiel!" She yelled out for the man "please, Castiel!" She screamed and something was shoved in her mouth. Before she could process what was happening, her head fell back and two metal pieces attached themselves on either side of her head and she screamed.

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?
