#Captain America Bucky Barnes

[feathersatwar]

What isn't there to love about the idea of MCU Bucky becoming Captain America?

It's the right thing to do, isn't it? He was the one who watched him fall. (He tried to catch him but he only caught his tags. The bitter cold tore him away in the blink of an eye, with a scream that Bucky hears when he tries to sleep.) Steve was the best of them both, and if he thought this cause was one to die for, then Bucky would finish it. He's followed him this far, hasn't he? Long enough for the bruises Zola gave him to fade, but not enough that hearing his voice in that train wouldn't make him freeze. (What if he finds him? What if he go back there, strapped down, poked and prodded and injected with God knows what -)

But besides that?

There's nothing.

He's known Steve almost his entire life. He barely remembers a time where there wasn't Steve. He once had him to himself, only he saw the goodness in him, he loved him first, but now he shared it with the world. Because of some holy serum; but the bastardized version of the same thing ran in his own veins, and Bucky knew deep down that he would never be Steve. He could try, but he could never be him to the world.

So why wouldn't he crash that plane?

He never wanted to be a weapon. But he wakes up, and it's asked of him again. Be a soldier. Be an officer. Be Captain America. His gun was an extension of himself, the shield of Steve, and he would never, ever drop either of them. (Not again. He dreamt of it, that scream still scratched into his brain no matter how much time had actually passed, seventy years or seven days.)

And then, one day, beyond his wildest dreams, he'd see him again. But this? This hollow ghost? This isn't the Steve he knows and loves. But he slips from his fingers again,

And on that helicarrier, the glass cracks beneath his feet, bullet wounds and serrated skin and black bruises, but he still has it in him - he catches him. Metal fingers that were foreign to him, but still, Steve.

Never again. Never without him.

The Burden of Sacrifice

Summary: In a last ditch attempt to save him, Steve falls from the train instead of Bucky (also kind of Bucky's internal monologue during the train scene lol)

Staring into the chasm below, Bucky felt like his legs were about to give out from under him. It was a long way down, and it sure as hell would kill all of them if the zip line broke. God, why had he ever agreed to this plan? He looked up at Steve - still a feeling he was getting used to - who stood beside him, and he pursed his lips. He would follow Steve into hell and back again, but that didn’t mean he had to be happy about it.

“Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone at Coney Island?” Bucky asked, glancing up at the zip line.

“Yeah, and I threw up?” Steve’s voice was light, following his gaze up.

Bucky grimaced, still quite wary of the drop below them. “This isn’t payback is it?”

Steve gave him a shit-eating grin. “Now why would I do that?”

Bucky fought the urge to roll his eyes, biting back a retort as their conversation was cut short by an update from Jones who sat by the radio behind them. He turned away from the chasm, ignoring how it seemed to be trying to pull him in.

“We were right, Dr. Zola's on the train. Hydra dispatcher gave him permission to open up the throttle.” Jones put his headset down. “Wherever he's going, they must need him bad.”

“Let’s get going.” Falsworth cut in, watching the incoming train through his binoculars. “Because they're moving like the devil.”

Steve moved over to the wire, and Bucky’s stomach turned. He tried to not show his unease on his expression as he watched. He hated this, but he knew they had to get to Zola before he slipped away again. This could be their last chance.

“We only got about a 10-second window.” Steve began. “You miss that window, we're bugs on a windshield.”

Great. That wasn’t helping Bucky’s nausea, not in the slightest. He just tried to focus on the train. That was their target, unfortunately. He knew Steve had always been reckless, but this seemed more than a little extreme. He heard Falsworth and Dum Dum Dugan snicker.

“Mind the gap.”

“Better get moving, bugs!”

Bucky swallowed hard, trying to get rid of the bile rising in his throat, his chest tight. He knew he couldn’t hesitate, couldn’t mess up his timing, but by God if they got out of this alive, Bucky was going to kill Steve for making him do this. Falling off a damn zip line would be a rather embarrassing way to go. He attached his carabiner to the zip line and waited for Morita’s signal, forcing his body to relax enough that he wouldn’t immediately freak out. He had to keep a clear head, he had to be ready, stay focused.

He lifted his feet from the ground and felt it drop from underneath him, his stomach seeming to go with it. He clung to the handles above him for dear life, before dropping to the train, adrenaline pounding in his chest as he pressed his body against the fast moving vehicle. He watched as Steve got up, and whilst silently cursing him out, Bucky stood, following him quickly towards the ladder on the side of the train, knowing that Jones followed right behind.

Bucky followed Steve into the train, closing the door behind him and grabbing his gun from where it rested on his back, quietly following Steve further towards the front of the train. He studied the interior of the vehicle, looking behind him briefly. It was full of some kind of cargo, presumably weapons, but there thankfully didn’t seem to be any immediate hostiles. He stayed behind Steve, gun at the ready, listening and watching for anyone trying to get the jump on them.

His stomach dropped and ice shot through his veins when the door that Steve had stepped through slammed down in his face and he looked up at Steve with alarm.

Shit.

He heard movement behind him and quickly whirled around, immediately shooting at the two Hydra agents approaching him. He managed to take one of them down and he ducked behind one side of the cargo boxes for cover. He switched to his pistol, moving to the other side of the train cart as the Hydra agent still standing got closer, trying to get a somewhat better vantage point.

Bucky felt his heart drop when his pistol ran out of ammo and a cold feeling of dread settled over him as the world around him seemed to freeze. He pressed his back against the wall, taking a shaky breath as he tried to steady himself. Fuck!

He was snapped back to reality when he saw the door that had separated him and Steve open. Steve held up a gun and nodded at him. Bucky quickly caught it when it was tossed at him, dropping his empty gun, and waiting for Steve to force the Hydra agent out of hiding. Steve shoved a large cargo box towards the agent using his shield and when the agent moved out into the open, Bucky quickly moved out of his cover, shooting the agent down.

Relieved with his adrenaline still pumping, Bucky stepped forward, his guard lowering. “I had him on the ropes.”

“I know you did.” Steve replied with a breathy sigh, before he looked behind him.

Bucky felt himself get pushed back by Steve and he quickly turned, eyes widening when he saw another Hydra agent with large cannon-like blasters strapped to his sides. Steve put his shield in front of them both which was probably the only reason they didn’t immediately get vaporized as they were blasted to the back of the cart. Steve had been thrown to the side by the impact, losing his shield, which Bucky saw abandoned on the floor in front of him.

He quickly scrambled forward, grabbing it and getting to his feet, raising his gun to shoot the Hydra agent twice. Neither of his shots did anything, and this time the impact from the Hydra agent’s blast sent him flying out of the hole on the side of the train. He had just managed to grab onto the railing on the damaged train, before he fell, clutching the metal for dear life.

“Bucky!” Steve’s yell was muffled by the icy wind snapping at Bucky’s ears. “Grab my hand!”

Bucky tried to manoeuvre himself closer to Steve, reaching out for him desperately. The rail snapped, becoming loose, and suddenly he felt himself drop.

In a last ditch attempt to save him, Steve launched himself forward and he grabbed Bucky’s arm, throwing him onto the train before disappearing into the treacherous ravine below.

Bucky landed with a grunt, rolling onto the train and hitting the other wall with a slam. He looked out of the damaged side of the train in horror, his heart pounding in his chest as his head spun.

“Steve…” He took a shaky breath, head spinning. “Steve!-”

He flinched when he heard a blast from the Hydra agent whiz by his head. He scrambled back, spotting the shield, and he quickly grabbed it, forcing himself up to his feet. He shoved away his panic and confusion as he ducked to grab his gun, shooting at the agent who finally collapsed.

It was only then that Bucky stumbled back, sliding down to the floor as his chest heaved. What-… Steve-… Oh God-… He could barely register what had just happened. He’d been falling, he’d been about to die and then- Fuck- and then Steve had grabbed him. That fucking idiot, he always-... always had to be a damn hero and now…

Bucky felt tears prick at his eyes which he quickly blinked back, forcing himself up to his feet, clinging to the shield like a lifeline. The mission wasn’t over. They had to get Zola, take down Hydra. He shoved down everything, his grief, his shock, his confusion. He would deal with it later. He had to finish the mission. He had to.

For Steve.

He is awake in an instant, bolting upright. Bucky quickly dives to turn on his bedside lamp and for his knife.

Crouched on the end of his bed was Steve. Covered in blood again. All over his bed sheets...

Bucky lets out the breath he'd been holding and drops back against his pillows. 

He'd disappeared for months this time. Bucky resists the urge to shut his eyes.

"идиот," dark and angry. "Your door was unlocked. Again." 

Bucky smiles. "Well, I've got this rather dangerous guard dog that keeps me safe. Likes to come in some nights 'n chew my bone."

THE END

"идиот" - Russian for "Idiot"

Summery: Bucky thought he was done being surprised at the curve balls this new century kept throwing at him.

For the: ✦ Stucky Bingo - Arranged Marriage [G1] (Card: 5054)

Read below or on AO3 >HERE<

Bucky flops forward onto his bed with a despairing grumble. Worming his hands underneath his face, he rubs at his eyes.

Of all the things the 21st century has thrown at him...

"Sargent Barnes," JARVIS calls.

Bucky gives a drawn-out groan in response.

"Might I give you my most sincere congratulations... and condolences. Sir might've made his particular opinions plain, but I, for one, believe your choice to be quite brave and honorable."

"Thanks, J," he says, rolling onto his back.

He was marrying an alien called 'Steve'. Fuck!

His life was a cosmic joke. 

Bucky laughs until he can't.

THE END

Implied: Tony doesn't approve of Bucky's politically arranged marriage to protect Earth because he doesn't trust aliens after the events of the first Avengers movie. His suit of armour around the world (Ultron) was to protect humanity from everything out there (The marriage stops his Ultron project).

Not mentioned: Thor, Prince of Asgard (and an alien himself), set up the politically arranged marriage between Bucky and the "alien called 'Steve'" to protect humanity.

[vee-nyx]

y’all ever think about how bucky got drafted and acted like he enlisted so steve would think he was okay. or how bucky was tortured for weeks at azzano and acted like he wasn’t so steve would think he was okay. or how bucky was cryofrozen traumatically for decades and voluntarily chose to go back under so that steve would think he was okay. or how bucky blinked back into existence days before steve left his life forever and bucky acted happy for him so steve would think he’d be okay.
