A Rolling Stream |☆|》Stark X Barnes

Madelynn's POV

I stood in my own pool of blood with my hands and feet still tightly strapped to vibranium poles.

I was placed in a room similar to a microwave. I was trapped with my own weakness, extreme heat.

The area's heat was now at 100⁰C. The heat would normally give me a severe headache making it impossible to use any of my powers.

It would make me continuously shift from solid to liquid form, with liquid hurting the most for obvious reasons.

My body was littered in deep slashes, blisters ,and bruises. Blood covered my entire body and some of my face.

Sweat from my human form, dropped into my open wounds and cause even more pain. At this point my entire body was numb.

The wounds would heal quickly and perhaps just one scar would remain on my entire body.

When I was on the verge of dieing, the heating element soon stopped. The only heated item left, were the metal restraints on my body.

Four guards along with Zemo entered the room. He gestured for two of them to take off the restraints. Once they were off, I fell onto the ground on my knees.

The same guards pulled me up forcefully onto my feet. I glared at Zemo and the other men.

The collar was still on my neck and I was dragged to the showers.

I cleaned myself and watched helplessly as blood and water ran down from my body onto the white tile below my feet.

I was then handed a black tank top and cargo pants along with combat boots. Something was definitely going to happen. I was then taken to Zemo.

"What's the occasion?" I sneered. "I have an offer for you." I crossed my hands and glared at him.

"Do you think that I am that stupid to agree to anything you offer?" "Do HYDRA's bidding and your father won't have to see that video nor would I harm any of the people you care about."

"If you need a robot, I would much rather prefer to be a mindless one than be mindful of my actions."

"As you say Stark." Zemo then began to call out the trigger words. As usual I was unable to move or do anything to prevent this and before I knew it, I was once again the mindless robot.

"Ready to comply." I stated in Russian. "Good."

2 weeks later...
Bucky's POV

The past few weeks were quiet. Everyone refused to talk or point the blame to anyone. No new news about where Madelynn is. I missed her so much and hated the fight we had before.

All I wanted was her to be back and she could go off for as long as she wants to, I just want her to be here.

Tony and I have a tension at the moment, refusing to be in the same room or mission as the other person. The two of us would blame the other and refuse to say its our fault.

The only time we exchanged anything would be glares or if we had any developments, other than, that nothing.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when my feet were swept away and I fell. "You gotta focus Buck." Steve encouraged as he held out his hand.

"What's bothering you?" "Nothing's bothering me Steve." "We've known each other since 1941. I am pretty sure I can tell when you're bothered."

I sighed seeing my attempts being pointless. "I'm just stressed about Maddie's disappearance."

"We all are but you miss her." "What are you talking about Steve?" I laughed it off. "You clearly love her and she loves you. Most of the team sees that."

"I really can't hide anything from you can't I?" "Nope." Steve chuckled. "Don't tell Tony for both of our sakes ok?"

"Sure Buck."

Madelynn's POV

Scientists were currently injecting me with a new serum they've been working on. Some residue of a so called 'Power Stone'.

I was accustomed to this and sat on the stool as I was injected with all the guards gawking at me.

My once long brown hair was cut to chin length with bangs and dyed black.

It was all done so that whoever wished to find me, would have a harder time doing so.

My missions have been coming steady which gave me more time away from these people here.

The needle was soon pulled out of my shoulder. The needle was like no other. The point itself was atleast 2 cm thick.

There was a burst of energy in my body that soon died down after about a minute. I was commanded to stand and did as asked.

Baron was behind two guards and emerged from behind the two. I was back to my emotionless state and just stood at attention at the Baron infront of me.

"Your next mission is to show what happens to traitors of HYDRA. Your subject is Vienna. She was one of the main suppliers here and is scheduled to head to the FBI about our location."

"Make sure that she doesn't get to leave her estate." "Yes Baron." I was then taken to the weapons room and picked up my weapons before changing into my suit.

Next destination was to bring someone by the name of Delora Hansley for Zemo to speak with.
