@mclti sent: 10) one muse has been brainwashed and the other one refuses to hurt them, trying to bring them back with a gentle touch. (you mean winter soldier being activated & ellie helping to bring him back) * 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟’𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 //
there had been no sign of the man that recited those damned words to him, left with an urge to escape the s.h.i.e.l.d. facility used to keep him there while steve, tony, and the rest of the other avengers decided what they wanted to do with him. following the events of the altercation on the bridge, steve had felt it necessary to fill ellie in on what had happened between the mid-20th century til the point where she was found and recovered ——— of course, with the necessary breaks in between to keep from overwhelming her. the fact of the matter was that bucky, at the moment, was not the same man they knew him as back before the war.
lights went out, followed by the emergency lights that painted the walls red. steve should’ve known better; both him and ellie were just about as stubborn as the other. split into two different directions, only for the winter soldier to be stood before ellie, his stare cold and calculating. behind him were bodies of s.h.i.e.l.d., left sprawled across the floor. the flicker of fear in blue eyes, her small stature — she was no threat to him, and still, she remained there, in his path. even as he came close, she didn’t seem to budge, her posture seeming to be unwavering. instead, he felt her touch upon his forearm. gentle. worried?
who was she again? she’ll get herself hurt standing there.
“move.”
