HAUNTED ✯ mcu ✔

C O N T R O L .

Coby sucked in a small breath as he watched Bucky just stand there, shoulders moving up and down at the rapid pace as he panted.

"Bucky?" Coby eventually mumbled out and Bucky slowly turned to face him, that's when Coby came to the realisation that it wasn't his Bucky anymore- that doctor had did something to him but Coby didn't know what. But the look on Bucky's face revealed everything, it was like he wasn't even there anymore, like he was a machine. It didn't take long for Bucky to charge at Coby, who immediately ducked from his punch, his own fist hitting Bucky straight in the stomach.

"Fuck, Bucky!" Coby growled, taking a step back with his fists still raised, "I'm not fuckin' fighting ya. I'm tryin' to help yur sorry ass-" But Bucky didn't seem to care, he just kicked Coby back against the wall, trapping him there with his metal arm across his chest. Coby prepared himself for a beating but it never came, Bucky just stared down at him with a conflicted look in his eyes. Coby stared back at him, blank expression, no fear lurking on his face- that's when Bucky finally spoke.

"отойди, мальчик. (Stand down, boy)"

And it was as simple as that, Coby lost control of himself.

Something changed in Coby's mind, like a switch had been dusted off and revealed and had been suddenly flipped without warning. Coby couldn't move, even when he told himself that it was time to fight back and that he needed to kick Bucky away, he couldn't; his own mind wouldn't listen to him, wouldn't do what Coby commanded it to. Coby wanted to scream and shout at Bucky, spit in his face, punch him- anything but he couldn't. He was trapped in his own mind and it didn't feel new, this had happened before and Coby just couldn't remember it.

"Позиция 1, атака на месте. (Position 1, attack on sight.)"

"Да, сэр. (Yes sir)" Coby muttered out in reply even when he didn't want to, even when he was screaming at the top of his lungs in his mind to fight Bucky. The Winter soldier gave him a nod before taking a step back so he could go to hide around one of the corners while Coby moved into the room with the cage, hiding in the corner nearest to the door. He waited, he didn't even know what he was waiting for truly but his fists seemed to know, they balled up at his sides and prepared for war.

Coby didn't want war, so why couldn't he back down?

He tilted his head once he saw Steve enter the room and pull the doctor up to force him against the wall. The words, 'Don't do it, don't do it-' echoed over and over in his mind but his body didn't seem to listen, he was already stalking forward to grab his hand in one hand and his shoulder in an other, smacking Steve's face straight against the bricked walls. Bucky had already moved on to attacking Sam, his metal arm grasping onto his chin before he threw him away, making him collide against the glass cage. 

Once Steve had regained composure, he turned around but Coby just immediately flung a kick to his side, quickly spinning so he then could punch him in the stomach. The Winter Soldier quickly joined in too, punching Steve in the face before kicking him in the stomach which made the man fall out of the room and back into the office. Coby watched for a second as they continued fighting until, eventually, the Winter Soldier managed to push Steve through an elevator door.

Coby tilted his head down to look at the passed out Sam, bending down so he could grab the man by his collar before he punched him in the face to make sure he stayed passed out. Coby let go of him, dropping Sam's body to the ground before walking over to Bucky. The Winter Soldier gave him a small nod before uttering two words out in Russian.

"хороший мальчик. (good boy)."

No. No. No-

That one word just kept repeating in Coby's mind but still, he couldn't retaliate, he just followed after Bucky like a lost puppy, begging for praise. All Coby knew at that moment was how to obey, to be of service, to be a machine. Eventually after following Bucky up the stairs, they made it into the main building, a lobby filled with people rather running or staying to fight the battle. Bucky headed straight for two of them while Coby went for the third, grabbing the mans hand and twisting his arm fully around until it cracked away from his shoulder.
