~Avenger's POV~

The Avengers were currently sat on the Quinjet flying towards the base y/n's mission took place at, everyone running over details of what they were doing and their roles all except one person sat closest to where the ramp comes down. Bucky had been sitting there the whole ride, no one going up to him at all and leaving him be except no one knew for sure that he understood what was going on.

"Someone has to go over to him to make sure." Wanda whispers to everyone, they all knew she was right.

"Ok, I'll go." Steve states, no one objecting they watch as he walks over to Bucky and takes a seat beside him not talking at all.

"Buck. We will get her back no matter what it takes."

"You can't be sure of that Steve, and even if we do who's to say they didn't turn her back or that she hasn't been mentally screwed with or harmed in anyway." Steve doesn't respond straight away.

"Well, I woke up in a world where I believed everyone from my time no longer existed and remembering seeing my best friend fall from a train. I then a few years later saw that same best friend fighting against me not knowing who he was at all and remembering nothing of me." Bucky goes to talk before Steve stops him.

"I wasn't done." Bucky goes quiet before staring ahead again.

"But after all of that you did remember me. And it took time but you remembered more and you got better with my help. If something has happened to her she'll be fine and get through it because she not only has all of us as family to help her but she has you. The love of her life, someone who wouldn't rest until she's home safe and would do anything in the world for her." at this Bucky looks at Steve who could see tears build up in his eyes until he hears his voice break.

"God I hope you're right." at this Steve brings Bucky in for a hug which they sit in for a while until Steve pulls away.

"To do this though we need to know that you're with us in this and understand what you're doing. So do you?" Bucky nods seriously as Steve smiles sympathetically.

"We're five minutes out we should land!" Clint yells from the front.

"Land here!" Steve replies as he and Bucky stand back up while the Quinjet lands and lowers the ramp, everyone grouping together.

"Alright, everyone understand the plan?" Steve receives a nod all around before they all rush to try and find y/n and bring her home.

~Time Skip~

"Bucky! Calm down!" Bucky punched a hole in the wall in anger at her not being here but in some base in Germany which would take at least 2 days to get to in the Quinjet and to say Bucky was pissed was an understatement. Bucky takes another punch putting another hole in the wall as the others stood not knowing what to do.

"Bucky! Stop! Doing that isn't going to get us to y/n any faster so stop wasting your energy!" Bucky stops at Loki's raised tone to face them all with tears streaming down his cheeks glaring at them.

"You're right. So lets go get her." he storms past them to get back to the Quinjet, they had taken down all Hydra agents in the base completely removing them from the picture, most of the work done by Bucky. The others quickly follow after Bucky knowing that asking him to wait a day wouldn't be an option after what they had seen so decide to take off for Germany right away.

~Y/n's POV~

It had been 4 days of me in this room earning daily beatings from the same three men, I had gained so many new markings to coat my skin bringing back all the horrid memories from the past every single time. And now they were back but with a selection of knives this time, as I weakly looked up at them before letting my head drop again to look down at the dry blood that lived there now.

"Ready sweetheart?" I growl at this, Bucky would use that name sometimes and I hated it was used in this situation.

"Don't. Use that name." he smirks at my retaliation before brushing the cool tip of the blade lightly against my skin but I don't flinch at all. Pretty soon he starts to press the tip of blade harder into my skin starting to break it before alarms began blaring the ringing being too much for me to handle.

"Shit!" I watch two of the men run from the room and the man stood with the knife beside me, thinking he'd follow them I relax a little until I scream being caught off guard as he plunges the knife into my side close to where it had been stabbed before. The man then running from the room and locking me back in, I look to my side to see the knife plunged fully in.

"I have got to stop getting stabbed." relaxing in my chair more I wait for whatever was happening to be over, the pain finally getting to me I start to go dizzy at the unbearable pain and blood slowly flowing from my side until the door bursts open and I try to focus on who it is but couldn't and I knew they were trying to talk to me but the ringing wouldn't stop.

I feel my body get shaken over and over lightly though, they were being cautious of me, this was someone I knew meaning it had to be the Avengers so I try to say something.

"Guys?" I say weakly as the ringing starts to leave my eyes and my vision clear up a little to reveal that Bucky was in front of me.

"Bucky..." I breath out which makes him look me dead in the eye.

"I'm here doll, I'm here." I whimper as they release the cuffs and being too weak I start to fall forward but get caught by Bucky's strong arms as he lets his knees fall to the floor with me in his arms allowing me to huddle into his chest.

"Shh, you're alright. I'm here, we're here. I will never let this happen again, I swear on my own life." he whispers into my ear as we sit there for a while, me crying into his chest.

"Hey, we should head back and have her looked after." I feel Bucky move me to pick me up as I wince slightly before holding him tight as he carries me back to the Quinjet where he lies me down on to a flat surface, I quickly clutch onto his hand making him look down at me.

"Don't...please don't leave."

"I am never leaving you, ever." I smile tiredly as I feel darkness overcome me letting me sleep and finally rest.
