[buckingham barnes]

For the few silent moments Bucky stood there, a bad feeling came to his chest. Something isn't right here, He thought to himself, Stryker's scent continuing to clog his nostrils. Why would Stryker hide in camp? If he was waiting to attack someone, he would have done it by now- Bucky thought too soon. Just as he was taking a step back, his thoughts were cut off abruptly, as Stryker burst out of his hiding place, and knocked the maine coon to the ground. He let out a loud yelp as his body came crashing down, which surely would grab attention. Bucky had no idea how he, a maine coon, is suppose to be able to fight off Stryker, a lion. His best option is to run, run! He'll get killed if he stays here any longer, someone who matches Stryker's size is better to fight him off than Bucky.

But as soon as Buckingham began to scramble to his paws, he froze at that one sensenation he's grown to hate and fear. Mental manipulation! Eyes widened, Bucky's heart began to beat quickly, as he realized what situation he just got himself into. Stryker purposely knocked Bucky to the ground, to get in his mind without any problems. He distracted Bucky, just like Ximen-- except things are a little different here. Ximen tore his leg off to get in Bucky's head, he had plenty more time to distract the maine coon. Stryker, on the other hand, didn't even have half of that time. Unfortunately for Stryker, the maine coon immediately began to fight the mental manipulation.

Fighting off mental manipulation isn't as easy as it sounds. Right now, his head is at war. It's like tug-of-war, Stryker is trying to pull Bucky into his claws, and Bucky's pulling away from Stryker with all of his might. It made his head pound and pound- certainly Stryker doesn't feel this pain, which is an advantage to the lion. Fighting off the manipulation also becomes tiring, as the headache makes it harder to keep going on. He's being drained mentally, and if Stryker doesn't decide the Winter Soldier isn't worth it anymore- then he's going to be in a huge amount of danger. He doesn't want to become Stryker's puppet, his fur began to bristle on it's ends, tufted ears flattening to his skull. "Stop," He growled out menacingly, his body shaking, metal claws digged deeply into the ground.

Another wave of headaches rushed into his head, gasping in pain as his mental walls of protection began to crumble down. He stumbled back a bit, hunching his shoulders with gritted teeth. Stryker's pull began to grow stronger and stronger, and Bucky's defense began to grow weaker. "Please, stop! Stop!" His menacing growl turned into raw fear, a desperate plea that would not reach Stryker's ears. This is exactly what Stryker wants, he's so close on bringing out the Winter Soldier. And that absolutely terrifies Bucky, while Buckingham looses control of himself, Stryker gains a new weapon. He'll be stuck as that machine, and will be used to murder his true clanmates- his members who he’s suppose to protect! If the Soldier is dragged out, he’ll practically hand over Sunhaven to Stryker-- as how would one expect a weapon to lead a clan? Considering he has no second command either, he feared this will be Sunhaven's demise.

"N-no..." He began to gasp out, unsure if he can hold on any longer, his final line of defense beginning to collapse.
