Need To Sleep

Click click 

Bucky sat down the gun, he had just assembled. He placed it on a large table. Standing up he looked at the table.

"When you said let's go shopping I didn't think you meant, weapons." He sighed as he looked at all the weapons they had bought.

"What do you even need all of these things for? Where are you going to put them?" Dutch rolled her eyes at him.

"Obviously I'm going to bring them with us." Dutch sat up from the couch. 

"Ok, let's go spare." Dutch smiled they had spared everyday since they were here. Bucky lost yesterday. 

"What a big baby." Dutch laughed 

"You cheated and you know it." Bucky defended himself. 

"Yeah, Yeah." Dutch chuckled while jumping off the couch.

**********

Dutch and Bucky stood opposite of eachother in a dimly lit warehouse. They had figured out they could rent out different locations to fight as well.

A smile plastered on their faces, showcasing their excitement. Dutch was more excited than Bucky. She could feel her body was about to break through the peak human status.

Something she wouldn't have imagined happening on a Red room mission. All the missions Dutch had been on wasn't challenging to her in the least. Her strength barely grew while in the red room. 

Her mind wandered to the the explosion she caused with the Letters. Her strength wasn't at the peak human like she should have been. It was more above the average human. 

It wasn't until the mission she went on for the Letters did she start to progress further. 

Boom

Dutch felt a powerful force knock her back. She crashed into a shelf. "Ugh, what the hell man." 

Swoosh

Dutch rolled to the side on instinct. 

Boom 

Bucky's fist came down hard, crashing into the ground. A small crater was left were his fist was.

"Don't get distracted!" He mocked, glancing at Dutch.

Seeing the crater Dutch knew Bucky wasn't going to go easy this time. "Fine," Dutch adjusted herself. 

Swoosh 

They rushed in at the same time. Bucky threw a straight punch, Dutch smiled as she threw a punch to meet his fist. 

Boom

The air exploded as their fist collided. Dutch felt the bones in her arm crack slightly. They jumped back. Dutch smiled while holding her arm, that quickly healed.

She had noticed a few fights ago that the injuries she get quickly healed, but not only that, they adapted, making it harder to be injured again.

This was proof a punch thrown with Bucky's full force would have broken her arm like it did a few times before, now it only cracked it slightly. 

The only thing that confused her was that if they could get strong like this, how come A and the others were so weak. 

Dutch eyes brightened, seeing this kind of results she rushed towards Bucky. 

**********

BOOM!!

Dutch punched Bucky hard in the chest, sending him flying through the warehouse wall. Sweat and blood smeared her body as she panted. 

It's been four hours since they started fighting. In the first two hours Dutch was now able to overpower Bucky. This came from learning his moves and using her new strength against him.

In the last two hours Bucky had been on the back foot the entire time. He fought intensely to keep up. Even with Dutch's upper hand it was still a struggle to beat him.

"You win." Bucky slouched against the broken wall, he flew through. They both collapsed on the ground. 

Clap clap clap 

"That was entertaining." They heard a voice sounded in the warehouse. Dutch recognized that voice. She inwardly rolled her eyes.

Both of them jumped up. Although exhausted they both got into a fighting stance. A light chuckle was heard as steps sounded behind Dutch.

Turning around a familiar face appeared. Dutch didn't lose her guard. "What are you doing here?" 

"A few of hydras old compounds are currently being raided by S.H.I.E.L.D. Hydra had one of the Soviet union's bases location, which doubled as old red room training ground. I was just curious, how much did you have to do with this?" 

"Kat, you stupid fuck I didn't do anything-" Dutch got cut off before she could continue.

"Then why is Howard still alive? Why is his wife still alive? How come they're targeting Hydra?" Kat fired off question after question.

Kat was Dreykov personal assistant, Dutch couldn't relax around her. She had always targeted Dutch every chance she got. 

"You know I'm getting sick and tired of you. I work my ass off to prove my loyalty to the red room. I could have left with Lady bell or even joined the letters. And honestly I should have, if I was going to keep getting accused of this bull-" 

"Wait, Dutch calm down!" Dreykov appeared out of nowhere. He looked nervously at both the girls. He glanced behind Dutch at Bucky who wore a cold expression. Some time during Kat talk he moved closer to Dutch.

"This is just a miss understanding I'm sure. S.H.I.E.L.D wiped the tapes clean, before anyone could look at what happened that night." Dreykov explained wiping the sweat off his head.

He had seen the fight between Dutch and Bucky, he was worried she wouldn't want to come back especially, seeing how the red room didn't contribute to her growth.

He hoped the uncle persona, would lure her back in. Dutch secretly rolled her eyes, she knew him well enough to know what he was think. After all she had spent most of their time together analyzing him.

"It was impossible to kill Bucky and let Howard and Maria die. He was brainwashed yes, but he was also given specific instructions. 

Once he killed them then he would disappear, I had to act while he was going for the kill. He was a lot more attentive than I thought but it didn't matter since I got him." Dutch didn't go into detail only giving them general information.

"Then why didn't you wait for us to come get you at the safe house?" Kat was furious seeing Dreykov's play. She couldn't believe he still trusted this little girl.

"Well if you seen the safe house you would know a fight happened there. Then we ran out of food. Then I went to see Lady bell so that she could help me restore his mind control." She whispered the last part poorly, Bucky heard her loud and clear. 

Dreykov glanced at Bucky. He stood there with a cold expression not saying anything. "Isn't he already?" 

"No, he just doesn't trust you guys so he's playing the tough guy." Dutch glanced back at Bucky. 

"We go see Lady bell in a couple of days to get it done. The only problem is she wants me to do a job for her in exchange. It's just finding Ort-Meyer for her. Then I'll come right back to the red room." Dutch gave Dreykov a reassuring smile.

Dreykov subconsciously nodded. Kat eyebrows twitched, "Can't you see she manipulating you!" She screams. Dreykov snapped his head in Kat's direction.

"Another word from you and your fired!" Dreykov screamed back at Kat. Fear washed over her face. "I apologize sir, I don't know what came over me." She bowed her head not daring to look at anyone.

Dutch smiled childishly as Kat got scolded.

Dreykov didn't believe Dutch would betray him. He had seen it many times. People had offered Dutch offers that were far better than what the red room could offer, yet she never left. 

She had even went as far as to kill the ones who gave her offers. It wasn't long before everyone got the message. He watched as she turned down Lady Bell and A. Even if she did do business with them she would always come back.

Slowly Dreykov started to calm down thinking about Natasha. Another reason for Dutch's unwavering loyalty. Unlike Dutch, Natasha was easy to manipulate. As long as he had a hold over Natasha Dutch wasn't going nowhere.

It also allowed him to get close to Dutch, by being an uncle to the twins, he was able to secure both of them. That's why when he heard she was meeting Lady bell he didn't panic, and he was happy he didn't.

Knowing Dutch had come all this way just to make sure Bucky's brainwashing was still effective, he regretted allowing Kat to talk him into coming here. 

"Let's get cleaned up, these people obviously came to waste our time." Bucky walked past Dreykov and Kat, without sparing them a glance.

Dutch nodded like a little child. She waved at Dreykov before jogging to Bucky's side. 

Dreykov glared at Kat, when Dutch and Bucky left. He walked out shortly after not seeing Kat's clenched fist.

Two days later 

"Come on Dutch wake up. You have to eat." Dutch opened her eyes. She was laying on the couch. She looked up at Bucky feeling drowsy. 

His face was slightly blurry. She shut her eyes tightly as a ringing sounded in her ear. "No." She rolled over pulling the covers over her head, that pounded to no end. 

"I got your favorite, chocolate chip pancakes!" He held the plate up, so she could smell the food. 

Dutch felt nauseous just thinking about eating anything. "No." Bucky sighed, leaving her to sleep. 

**********

One day later 

Knock Knock Knock

"Mmm." Dutch groaned as she rolled over on the couch. She had slept through yesterday feeling tired from all the fighting her and Bucky had been doing. They had fought in several different locations and used all kinds of weapons.

Dutch's head hurt. She looked up at the clock, "4:06" saying that she rolled over and fell back to sleep.

Knock Knock Knock

"Bucky, someone's at the door." She yelled

Knock Knock

"Come on!" She complained as she got up angrily. Her feet slapped against the ground as she walked over.

Opening the door she saw Bucky standing there with an apologetic smile. "Your joking right?" She looked over at the clock again think she got it wrong the first time.

"Its four o'clock in the morning." She glared at him, not letting him in the room.

"I know, I forgot my key, but when I was out I ran into one of Lady bell's guys she wants us to meet them in the lobby at 7!" Bucky rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Ok I'm going back to sleep." Dutch moved to the couch before plopping on it. She grabbed a blanket and fell asleep. 

**********

Two hours later

"Dutch come on you have to get ready!" Bucky shook her awake. 

"I hate you." She let out a low growl.

"Well you can hate me a little more if you get up. We can't be late." Bucky didn't let up. 

Dutch was annoyed, "Bucky I'm tired you can just go without me." 

"Dutch, you've been sleep all day yesterday, you even refused to eat. You need to get up." Bucky lifted Dutch up off the couch and stood her up on the ground. 

She glared at him. "No, Bucky I don't feel good." She turned to get back on the couch.

"You're a super soldier. Stop lying and go take-" He stopped mid sentence and looked at Dutch.

"You do look a little pale." His voice low. He put his hand up to her forehead. "And your burning up. Why didn't you say anything before." He looked at her worriedly.

"I did. You said ok I can sleep." Dutch step back catching herself from falling. 

"I do need a shower, I'm all sweaty." Dutch looked at her body her head feeling dizzy. 

"Dutch! Dutch!" She could hear Bucky calling her but it sounded distant. Her eyes got heavy. 

"I just need to sleep." She spoke in a low voice. Afterwards her vision turned dark. She felt herself get picked up before she fell unconscious.
