Saved By The Soldier
Summary: Y/N is taken hostage by Hydra. Bucky and the Avengers have to save her
Warnings: Mentions of torture
———————————————————————
Starving. Sleep deprived. Tortured. Only a few words to describe you in your current situation. Your wrists were chained to walls in a small lightless room in a Hydra base. You had been here for what you were sure was just over three days. They wouldn’t let you sleep, shooting a gun just north of your face whenever you were about to nod off. They didn’t give you any food, not a single piece. And they would torture you mercilessly. They wanted information on the Avengers. On their actual identities, their private lives etc. So many things they so desperately wanted to find out and so many things you would never tell them. You knew that the Avengers would be here for you soon, Bucky wouldn’t leave you.
They had broken both of your legs so even if you did somehow get out of the chains attached to the walls, you wouldn’t get very far. You were trained for these sort of situations, but this wasn’t your average bad guy. This was Hydra, a crime organisation. They had people watching you at all times and guns fixed between your eyes. All you could currently do was wait.
It had been three days already but it had felt like an eternity to you. You were on the verge of death. No water, no food, and no sleep didn’t suit you very well. Yet you held on as you knew that the avengers, including your boyfriend Bucky, would be here soon. You just had to keep holding on.
Just as you thought you were about to completely lose your hold on reality, you heard a crash, then shouting, then more crashing. A burst of light suddenly opened at what you could only assume was the door to the hell you’d been trapped in. You saw the silhouette of a heavy-built man with long hair coming quickly towards you and you knew right away who it was. You were soon proved correct when the image of your boyfriend began to come into focus and came closer to you. You were then able to see his face properly and even though it had only been a few days, it felt like you hadn’t seen him in years. You were overjoyed with seeing him that if you weren’t so dehydrated you’d be crying tears of joy.
You could also make out the images and voices of the other avengers, including Nat and Steve, who were guarding just behind Bucky, keeping away any Hydra agents who tried to stop them rescuing you. Bucky, with his metal arm, ripped away the chains that were locked so tightly around your wrists. He tried to get you to stand and support yourself but you simply buckled under your broken legs. Bucky immediately noticed how much you were struggling and swept you into his arms.
Steve ran out in front, clearing the way back to the quinjet, then Bucky, still carrying your small frame in his arms, then Nat, who was ensuring that the rest of the avengers knew you were safe now. Sam and Vision son caught up with you, leaving Wanda and Tony to break into their computer systems to retrieve any information they needed, then wipe their database.
When all of you were safely back inside the quinjet, Bucky laid you down gently and immediately found a blanket to wrap around you while Tony started the jet and took off. Bucky could see how visibly distressed you were and tried his best to help you. Nat crouched down beside you to assess your injuries.
“She has a dislocated shoulder” - you had at one point tried to get out of the chains but they were too tight to get out of - “two broken legs and the skin where the chains were will need attention.” The chains had rubbed away at your skin until there was little left to rub away at. Your wrists seemed to just be blood and bone.
Your eyes were dropping, slowly closing. You were so tired you just wanted to sleep.
“Y/N, Y/N, you have to stay awake. You need to eat something first. Please doll, stay awake.” Bucky was almost shouting, making sure you wouldn’t close your eyes for more than a few seconds.
He was able to get a glass of water and half a sandwich in your system. Bucky had stood up to get you more blankets, noticing how shaken you were but you stopped him.
“Buck. Please, stay here” You barely managed to whisper. Bucky sat down next to you, and engulfed you in his arms, careful not to aggravate your dislocated shoulder. You nuzzled into the crook of his neck and instantly passed out when Wanda brought you both some spare blankets.
You knew you were safe now. You knew Bucky wouldn’t let anything else happen to you, for now at least, you were both avengers and knew that it could be dangerous. As long as you each tried to keep the other from harm, as that was all you could do. That and cuddle into Bucky at the end of a tiring mission. That was all you needed, just him holding you as you drifted to sleep.
