Skylar opened her eyes slowly. To say her head
hurt was a understatement. (A/N: Skylar woke up before Bucky did.) she realized she was tied up to a chair.

"Hey, Cap!" Sam's voice echoed through the warehouse. Skylar watched as the men walked in front of her but kept their distance.

She pulled her lips in and put her head down. "How many people did I kill, this time?" She asked, her voice barely over a whisper.

Steve's expression softened. "Don't do that to yourself—"

Skylar projected an ombré dagger. And threw it at the man. "No!" Natasha yelled. But it was too late. The dagger went in the man's chest.

Skylar came back to the world. "Natasha, please tell me she's okay?" She asked. Sam put a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, your..um, shadow energy blasts missed her." Skylar nodded slowly.

"Let's get these off, shall we?" Steve said. Skylar put her hands up to show him that they were already untied.

Sam raised an eyebrow. "How did you-" "you decided to use rope to tie me up." Skylar said while she untied her legs. She heard groaning.

"Looks like our other friend is awake." Steve goes over to join Sam by Bucky who sits with his arm in the vice. They stare at him.

"Steve." Bucky says. "Which Bucky am I talking to?" Steve asked unsure of if it was his friend or not. "Your mom's name was Sarah...You used to wear newspapers in your shoes." Bucky chuckled at the memory.

"Can't read that in a museum." Steve reminded.

"Just like that, we're suppose to be cool?" Sam asked in disbelief looking at Steve and then Skylar.

"What did I do?" Bucky asked. "Enough." Steve said. "Oh, God, I knew this would happen. Everything HYDRA put inside me is still there. All he had to do was say the godd*mn words." The ex-assassin rambled.

"Who was he?" Steve questioned. "I don't know." Bucky responded.

"People are dead. The bombing, the setup. The doctor did all that just to get 10 minutes with you. I need you to do better than "I don't know."" Steve retorted calmly.

"He wanted to know about Siberia. Where I was kept. He wanted to know exactly where." Bucky said.

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

"Because I'm not the only Winter Solider."

After Bucky had told his story the 4 just let silence engulf them.

"Who were they?" Steve asked. "Their most elite death squad. More kills than anyone in HYDRA history. Except for her." Bucky nodded over to Skylar. "And that was before the serum."

"They all turn out like you?" Sam spoke up. "Worse." Bucky said. "The doctor, could he control them?" Steve questioned yet again. "Enough."

"Said he wanted to see an empire fall." Steve trout out loud. "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." Bucky explained.

Sam Abruptly walked towards Steve and started to speak to him in a low voice. Skylar walked around the abandoned warehouse.

"Sky." Steve said. "That's me." Skylar replied. "We're leaving." He nodded over to the metal vice that was holding Bucky's arm.

She let black mist run around her fingers and the vice and lifted it. Bucky pulled his arm out and Skylar dropped the vice creating a bang. Sam jumped and looked at her.

"Sorry." Skylar said. Steve chuckled at her actions. "Alright, the car's out back. Prepare for a long ride."

"Yes! Road trip!" Skylar said and teleported to the car.

"She doesn't stop, does she?" Bucky says, a faint grin on his face.

"Only when sleeping." Steve says.
