Recap:
"I remember her, Steve. She damn near killed me."
♤
"She tried to kill you?" Steve looked more and more homicidal by the second.
"I think so. It's still a bit hazy- Steve, where are you going?" Bucky looked up to see his friend already on the other side of the hallway on his way toward the kitchen... Where Reyna and Wanda sat. Bucky rushed after him, trying to stop him from doing anything stupid. He didn't get there in time. Once he rounded the last corner, Steve had already picked up an utterly terrified-looking Reyna by her throat and slammed her into a wall.
"Steve, what are you doing?" Wanda shouted at him. She didn't know what to do. Steve never lost his cool like this, ever.
"She tried to kill Bucky," Steve's voice was low and shook with rage as he lifted the girl higher, forcing her to stand on her tip-toes, gasping for air. She was pleading by now for Steve to let her go. The whirling of Bucky's metal arm was their only warning before Steve was yanked from Reyna and thrown across the room. Reyna fell to the floor, coughing and gasping. She looked up to see who had done it, and her eyes met a silhouette she would never forget. Wanda rushed to her side, but Reyna was in a full-blown panic now. How could he be here? Why was he here? Did these people trust him? Wasn't she supposed to be free of that place now? Then that panic turned into an emotion she was never allowed to feel: rage. She stood, completely ignoring Wanda.
"Winter soldier. What is your mission here?" She demanded, subconsciously switching to her mother tongue as she spoke. The tall man froze. She had heard the man's handler calling him that name when he entered her cell all those years ago. He slowly turned around, but she was determined not to back down now.
"I'm no longer the Winter Soldier. I don't have a mission. I'm just making sure this moron doesn't kill you before I know why you tried to kill me," Bucky responded in Portuguese as well, trying to keep calm and collected.
"I tried to kill you? That's what you remember? Your attempt at defiling me has conveniently slipped your mind, then." Reyna growled as she stalked forward. Her body was getting blacker by the second. Bucky backed up at the sight of it, a fleeting image of the devastation that darkness caused last he saw it flashing across his mind.
"Defile you? What the hell are you talking about?" Bucky switched back to English. Wanda had rushed over to Steve to ensure that he didn't make things any messier because he was angry and told FRIDAY to alert the others.
"Don't act like you don't remember. You got the command: Give us soldiers". You were supposed to breed me like a fucking dog!" Her voice was cold as ice. Tendrils of black smoke were starting to form at her back while her eyes were slowly clouded with the same color.
"I don't remember, please. I don't know what happened. They always wiped me after every mission. I swear I don't remember," Bucky tried to reason.
"Oh, you don't remember," Reyna mocked. "Let's see if we can jog your memory." She raised her left hand. A needlelike tendril circled up her forearm, stopping in her hand. With the flick of her wrist, the spike shot toward its mark. Mere centimeters from Bucky's temples, it was intercepted by red jets of light, smashing it to pieces. Bucky and Reyna's heads snapped to Wanda, whose hands were still up. Bucky looked grateful, while Reyna looked downright furious.
"Wanda, stay out of this." Black smoke belched out of her mouth as she spoke. Her voice was darker, heavier, and held so much more force in it than before. It seemed to bounce off the walls, echoing and manifesting inside Wanda's mind. A command you could not resist woven into the words. Wanda realized too late what Reyna had done. No effort or power she put up against Reyna's control did anything to stop the words from taking over her body and forcing her mind to go blank. The red light extinguished, her hands went behind her back, and her gaze was lowered to the ground. Steve tried to snap her out of it, but Wanda could not do anything until Reyna lifted her command.
