Chapter 2 Mae's pov

I curl further into the tattered rag I use as a blanket, searching for any warmth it could offer me, which is almost none. I'm pulled back slightly by the giant metal chain they put around my waist, in an attempt to keep me from moving too close to the bars of my cell. They know I could break it but I'm still weak and healing from the last incident. I pull my knees further into my chest and hope I can get some food today. I hear some noises from the hall outside the room where my cell is. I whimper thinking it's going to be another shock or chamber day and don't dare to move when I hear the door of the room open, followed by too many footsteps and quiet murmurs.

I hear a gasp and move slightly so I can sit up, my long red curly hair falling down around the blanket. I hear a woman say something that I couldn't quite catch, followed by a sound so familiar I could never forget it: Metal, but not just any metal: No, a specially made metal arm. I pull the blanket down around my shoulders and look up to face him.

"Babydoll...is that you?" Bucky says, stepping closer to my cage. I look at him a moment longer, a whimper falling from my lips.

"Bucks...is this real? Did you come back for me?" I ask in a raspy voice, due to lack of water. I look down at the limiters on my wrists glowing a soft purple, before back up to him. He nods at me, looking down for a moment, as if thanking something for finding me.

"Yes Babydoll, can you come open the door?" he asks knowing my powers could do that, while getting confused looks from the other people with him. I shake my head before scooting as far away from the door as possible, knowing he'll break it down. He nods, looks at the hinges on the door, before he rips it off the cell. He walks over to me as I struggle to stand. I finally do and look up at him from my small 5'1" height. I lift my shirt to show him the chain encircling me, after he stands to block the view of the others. I look behind him to evaluate them while he bends to take a closer look at the thick metal.

A man in a robotic suit, a red haired woman, an archer with dirty blonde hair, a man in a red white and blue suit with a shield, a long blonde haired muscle mountain with what looks to be a hammer, and a tall raven-haired man. I look over each with my hazel eyes, stopping the longest on the last one. Something was wrong with his looks, but my powers were very limited right now.

I look at him more closely for another minute, squinting my eyes to try to find the problem. I do when he shifts under my gaze, revealing glowing green limiters on his wrists much like mine. That's the problem, he's using an illusion to cover his misshapen appearance from the power drain of the limiters. I look back up at his face, catching his eyes. He has a blank look on his face but his eyes hold confusion, shock, and...anger? Interesting.

Bucky finally gives up on trying to get the chain off right now without hurting me more and decides to take it with us. He rips it out of the wall, throwing it over his shoulder. He bends down and picks me up, sitting me on his metal forearm like he used to do. Keeping his back to the others he kisses my forehead and sighs.

"Loki, can you make a large warm blanket, a granola bar, and a bottle of cranberry juice?" Bucky questions over his shoulder.

"I cannot." The raven haired man replies, holding up his limiter clad wrists, looking at the robotic suit with a glare. Before anyone can say anything I raise my hand over Bucky's shoulder, with a soft purple glow the limiters from his wrists appear in my hands, before I move them to my ankles which only Bucky can see. They start to glow a soft purple like the ones on my wrists.

A couple noises of protests come from the group as the man, looking stunned, stared down at his now empty wrists. Buck looks back down at me before nodding, knowing I'll need them for the time being. A large, warm, fuzzy blanket wraps around me and I hum at the warmth. The granola bar appears in Bucky's other hand along with the bottle of juice. I smile and eat half of it as he holds it close to my mouth for me. I nod that I'm done and he folds it, putting it in his pocket as I'll need the rest in a bit. He holds the bottle to my lips as I drink about half of it. He puts the cap back on and hooks it to his belt with a zip tie. I kiss his cheek before smiling at the group over his shoulder and getting down to business.

"Hammer and dinner plate- go down the hall. At the end, in the last room there will be 2 others, a brother and sister. Tell them Buckshot and Babydoll sent you and to go with you." I point at the two who look at each other then Bucky, who nods and tells them to go. I pull the blanket over my head securely before lifting my hands, a vibrant purple glow filling the room. I drop my hands and slump against Bucky's chest.

"We're going to the jet. Now. " He rumbles to the others who just nod. With a flash of green we were all standing in the aircraft outside the base. Bucky looks down at me as the other 4 walk on as well. I nod at Bucky under the blanket still.

"Take us off the ground but leave the door open for a minute Friday." Bucky speaks as the jet starts to move upwards. He sets me down and I walk over to the door, him staying right behind me the whole time, blocking the others' view again and carrying the chain. He knows me so well.

I pull the blanket back slightly so I can see the building below. Knowing the layout of it along with the underground network well, I let my powers flow. Purple starts to surround the building, along with all the people on the jet. They all squeak in surprise, then gasp once they feel they have all been healed. They turn just in time to see the dust settling with the rubble of the now destroyed building. I turn back to Bucky as I pull the blanket around me further.

He puts me back on his metal arm, pulling out the granola bar from his pocket as the juice bottle floats in green beside him. He sits down, putting me in his lap, and starts to feed the rest to me, along with the juice. The metal surrounding my waist suddenly disappears with a shimmer of green and Bucky nods at something behind me. I lay my head against his chest again, closing my eyes.

"Okay what just happened?" The robot suit asks, sounding confused. Bucky chuckles, making his chest rumble pleasantly against my cheek. I whisper to him, making him nod in understanding before looking at the group.

"Call Fury- tell him all the agents from this facility are in rooms B, D, Q, O, and S at his building. All of the hard drives from here are at the tower in lab 5 with a containment spell over them, Friday has also locked down the room. No big wigs were here having left 30 minutes before we arrived, no they didn't know we were coming. We will talk about the 3 of them when we get back to the tower. Babydoll needs sleep." He laughs as he figures out why I put them into those rooms, saying "very true Babydoll, you are the queen of sass" softly.

He looks down at me, before a gunmetal gray plush rose, and a black and green stuffed bear appear beside him. He nods, placing both into his bag, before petting my head. He then starts to hum a Russian song like he used to, making me fall the rest of the way asleep to the feeling of rumbles against my cheek.
