The Howling Commandos (Bucky x Fem! Reader)

A/n: The second to last chapter! I can't believe it! I would like to thank you all for supporting me! Book Two will be out soon.

Your P.O.V

I sat alone in a SSR office room. I didn't know where Steve was. I just stormed into this empty room as soon as we got back. I held a bottle of beer that Dugan provided. It was supposed to help with the pain but all it brought was memories. I sighed and sniffed. I couldn't get Bucky's screams out of my head. I couldn't get the memory out. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see the fear in his eyes as he fell. The room was warm, but I felt cold . I took another swig out of the bottle.

"Hey," Peggy said in a soft voice. I didn't see her come in. My arm had been acting up again. Before I arrived, my arm was getting extremely itchy. I managed to calm it down.

"Oh, hey Peggy," I said. She sat down next to me. She was also depressed about what happened. Not as depressed as me though.

"Are you feeling any better?" she asked. I shook my head and took another swig out of the bottle. "Would you like to talk about it?" Peggy asked. I chuckled.

"Nah, I'm good," I rubbed my nose. Peggy looked at me concerned. We sat there in silence as I drank my beer. Out of the blue, I felt a twinge of pain. I winced and looked at the spot where the pain was coming from. My arm had a weird crystal on it that seemed to be growing. (No, it's not coming out of you, that's just gross.) I tried to pick it off, but it didn't work.

"What's that?" Peggy asked, pointing at the crystal.

"I don't know," I replied. "It seems to be growing. It doesn't look like it's coming out of me." She touched it. The crystal began to expand, encasing my arm. My arm went numb and limp.

"Peggy," I said, "I think something is wrong." I said, as the crystal made its way to my legs.

"I'll go get Howard." She said, rushing off. I began to breathe frantically as the crystal made its way to my stomach. It crystallized everything it touched. What was this?!? It became harder to breathe. Everything the crystal encased went numb and cold. My blood circulation slowed down, making me exhausted. Howard and Peggy rushed in.

"Howard, help!" I exclaimed. He looked at me in shock.

"What's happening?" he asked.

"I have no idea so help me!" I yelled. The crystal encased my torso and chest. It quickly made its way to my neck. I couldn't feel any of my limbs. I couldn't even move!

"Y/n! Hold on!" Peggy said. Her voice seemed to slow down as the crystal began to encase my head. Barely breathing, the last thing I could see before going black was Howard's and Peggy's concerned faces.

I woke up in a cold sweat. I couldn't feel or move anything. I could hear deep, slow, muffled voices, arguing. I felt like I was underwater. I saw Zola and Colonel Phillips arguing. Peggy was standing on the side, biting her nail.

"What did you do to her?" Phillips asked, his voice echoing inside the crystal I was in.

"I gave her the solution like I said I would," Zola explained. "It was supposed to help me, but now I see if I had done this to myself, I would end up like her!" Peggy noticed me watching the conversation. If she could even see me through the thick crystal.

"Gentlemen," she said, "look." Phillips and Zola looked at me. I tried to smile, but I couldn't move anything.

"Y/n, you're awake. How do you feel?" Phillips asked.

"You dummkopf." Zola scolded Phillips. " The Fräulein cannot say anything. My experiment has stopped her from aging. The process involves freezing everything. She is unable to move, speak, et cetera," he explained. I got cold and blacked out. Before I blacked out, I heard Peggy calling my name.

I woke up again, this time in a different office. There were people walking around and talking. I saw Peggy talking to a man. She kissed him and left the room. I looked around. Outside the window, there was a tall building that looked like one back home. Is this New York? I asked myself. No one could hear me. Where is Steve? Where's Phillips? Who was Peggy talking to? Did we win?

"Hey, can you hear me?!?!" I tried yelling. I was able to project my voice, but it didn't go far. I tried yelling again but it didn't work. Eventually I ran out of breath and I passed out again.

**ーー**

I heard the radio playing. I wanted to see what was happening, but I couldn't open my eyes. But the strange thing I felt was that I could move again. I was breathing like normal again. A tough sounding voice said something that I couldn't hear. I heard it again, opening my eyes. My vision was a bit blurry.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Hello Y/n," the voice said. "I'm Nick Fury, but you can call me Director Fury."
