(First person narrations from Bucky) 

Later that day Rosie and I had gone home, after dueling obviously. After a while we had fallen asleep, somewhere around 12, i think. Dreams kept passing and going, Blurred faces, missing limbs, people from the past and blurred words. I could hardly remember them, everything was flustered. Soon the dreams turned to nightmares, it got even more flustered. 

Screams and gunshots, agents of HYDRA, dead bodies. All because of me. Then the screams kept passing, and things I've done flustered my mind. Falling out of the train. Being found. Being frozen. Killing dozens. Killing Howard and Maria Stark kept coming. Fighting cap. More gunshots. Louder screams. It wouldn't stop, there was chaos everywhere. I could hardly see what was going on. The red skull passed. His freakishly red skull haunted me. Then it all replayed. Screams, gunshots, dead bodies, Howard and Maria, Red skull, Hydra. Screams, Gunshots, Dead bodies, Howard and Maria, Red skull, Hydra. It kept going faster. Then the chants of hydra. 

"Longing.... Rusted... Seventeen... Daybreak... Furnace... Nine... Benign... Homecoming... One...Freight car." is what was said in Russian 

"Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car." 

"Longing, rusted, seventeen, daybreak, furnace, nine, benign, homecoming, one, freight car." 

"Longingrustedseventeendaybreakfurnaceninebenignhomecomingonefreightcar" the voices chanted louder. 

"Bucky! Bucky!!" 

I was shaken awake. Rosie sat up, the dim light was on. 

"You were screaming. And moving, quite a bit. You were breathing quite aggressively too." She said, i sat up 

"It was a Nightmare" I said, my voice getting shaky and my eyes starting to tear up

"Poor thing" She said, pulling me into a hug. My tears came loose, streaning down my cheeks 

"It's okay. We all get those" She reassured softly 

"Not really" I said, coming free of her comfort, "If you had any idea what was happening, i think you'd take your words back" 

"That's what you think, buck" She said 

"You should start judging people based of their Pasts" I said, cleaning myself up

"But I don't. What's past is past" She said 

"But what about everyone else? What about Howards and Maria Stark? Are they gonna come back? No. They won't. It's my fault their dead. I killed them. I don't even know what you see in me." I said 

"Whether you like it or not, I'm with you. I'm dating you, Buck.  Not anyone else, just you. Why? Because you are a good man. You were in the military, for Petes sake, at 16 you joined. It wasn't your fault you fell from a stupid train, it wasn't your fault Hydra found you and brainwashed you. It's not your fault they sent you on murder missions. Hydra is dead, they're gone! Look at yourself before hydra found you. You stood up for little stevie when he was too small. You even offered for us to stay with you when our parents died. If that's not a good man I don't know what is." She expressed 

"Steve said you and him would be fine on your own" I said 

"That's not the point. The point is, I'm with you because you are a good man. And because I love you" She reassured 

"Gee, I love you too, Doll" I said 

"I know" She said, kissing me on the cheek
