I’m Not Her- Ch 2

I’m Not Her- Bucky Barnes x Reader. Bucky can’t stop a girl getting killed in a robbery gone wrong, but what happens when he sees her all over the place.

Previous Chapter / Master List

Warnings: All the angst.

Chapter 2

You looked up at the large man, who’s currently holding your bagel and cruller. It had felt like running into a wall when you stepped out of the shop. The last thing you expected when he spoke was the name of your twin sister. Did he know her? She had passed away in a bank robbery gone wrong around six months ago. You had been abroad studying in France, learning to work in art restoration, they had some of the best in the world. When you heard about your sister you tried to rush back, but couldn’t because of the program you were in.

They say twins can feel each other when they die. That wasn’t the case with you. You were sitting in a class, learning which products worked best for Renaissance paintings when your phone rang, ignoring it you didn’t get the message for another hour. After that your heart wasn’t in it anymore. So you got on a plane as soon as you could, back home, to Brooklyn.

The two of you had been raised by a single mom, in this neighborhood, even if your sister’s apartment was in Manhattan now, this was home. Your mom did her best to get by, with the increasing cost of living in the area after it was cleaned up and hipsters moved in. After your mom had passed, the life insurance had been divided between you both, you going on to try to pursue your dreams and your sister taking a much more realistic approach and got a job at a bank. Eventually moving to bank manager at a large bank in a ‘safe’ area of Manhattan. So much for that.

By the time you got back from France your extended relatives had already had the funeral and cleaned out her apartment into a small storage unit, that you paid through the nose for. It had felt useless to come back. It was all taken care of. She didn’t need you in life or in death.

You and your sister were closish. Not the way most sisters were, or especially the way twins were. She was practical, responsible. Doing what she thought was right, helping take care of everything in the family, organized. You on the other hand were whimsical, letting your heart and will take you on an adventure. Following your heart took you to extreme highs and extreme lows, but you never thought it lead you astray. That was something your sister and you had fought about constantly. She was always on the straight and narrow, doing what she was supposed to do, not what she wanted to do. She never took risks, which is why it came as such a shock when you found out how she died. Protecting the guy that came in to save her. You couldn’t understand it. Now it seemed he was standing in front of you.

You didn’t recognize him at first, but the glint at his wrist from his metal arm clued you in. There couldn’t be that many superheroes with a metal arm, could there?

You watch as his face drops in disappointment and you take the bag back from him. He runs a hand over his face. “Your sister, of course. Twins.” He mutters more to himself than you.

“I guess you would be Sergeant Barnes.”

He straightens his shoulders, looking more like taking a heavy weight back onto them than anything. “Yes ma’am.”

“Can you answer one question for me?” He nods stiffly. “Why did my sister step in to protect you?” He flinches, physically flinches like you slapped him. It almost makes you regret asking him, even though that question has been plaguing you for months.

His jaw working around nothing, you can see the horror in his eyes remembering that moment, but you just can’t take it back. Who knows when you’ll get this chance again?

Steeling himself. “I honestly don’t know.” You can hear the defeat in his voice, like he has been asking himself the same question as much as you have.

“Ok, ok.” You sigh heavily, your sister would apparently take that answer to her grave too.

“She recognized me.” Bucky let out quietly, like it was shameful.

Your head snapped up. “What?”

He nodded. “She said my name as she was,” He swallowed. “It was one of her last words.”

“Do you think...do you think we could go somewhere and talk?” Pain flashed in his eyes and you could see him pulling back. “I just want to know what happened. The papers didn’t report exactly what took place, and I wasn’t here to talk with the police or EMTs. Please?”

He didn’t know if he could do it, but you looked up at him with those same eyes that hunted him every time he closed his own. It would be part of his amends to her. Letting her sister know the final details of her life. He had to do it.

The nod he gave flooded your chest with relief. This was the last person to see her alive, this was your last connection to her. You needed the closure. “There’s a little park a couple of blocks that way?” You suggest.

His response of, “I know the one.” surprised you, but you let him lead the way. Gripping your little bag and coffee tightly, you follow him to the small park, really an empty lot someone planted flowers in, but it was nice and had a bench to sit. The two of you sat in silence for a few minutes, neither knowing where to start. To ease the tension, you took out your cruller and ripped it in half, offering one half to him. He refused, but you sat it on his knee regardless, taking a careful bite of yours.

“Enhanced had been the ones to rob the place, correct?” You asked and chewed, staring at a flower in front of you.

“Yes, two. Their names and powers are classified though.” He tore off a chunk of the cruller in his lap, letting the sugar get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth.

“You got everyone else out, why wasn’t she with the group?” You knew she was the one that was left bagging the money, your aunt had said as much.

“The hostages were huddled in a group, hidden from the hostiles. We extracted them first before the hostiles engaged, ending in a fight.” It sounded rehearsed. Like something he had to say over and over. Clean, clinical, cold. You knew this was what was in the report, it had to be. His voice warmed and cracked. “She...your sister, wasn’t with that group, she stepped in front of a blast meant for me. I took the opportunity to...finish the fight.”

The way he said ‘finish’ left little to the imagination. He killed the person who had taken her from you. That was good. You appreciated that. “What did she say?” His head jerked to you, eyes wide as he swallowed.

“There wasn’t much. She was hit in the back, her lungs weren’t workin’ that well. She said my name, and ‘hurts’.” He paused and licked his lips, trying to keep his throat from locking up. “What I remember the most was her smile. She was so happy to be dyin’ in my arms.” He looked down at his hands in his lap, picturing her looking up at him. “I tried to make her comfortable. I knew it wasn’t long. The smile was still on her face when they declared her. I never understood it.” He shook his head, trying to rid himself of the memories again.

It just didn’t make sense. She was so careful, she didn’t take risks. You look over to the man next to you and see he’s in turmoil, just like you. You know you pushed past where he was comfortable, but you just had to know.

Placing a hand on his knee, he looks up at you. You see his bloodshot eyes that are surrounded by dark circles. You had known about his past, everyone did. Sergeant Barnes had been brainwashed, tortured and controlled, killing the innocent against his will, but he seemed so broken talking about having failed to save your sister. A lot of people thought Barnes and the Winter Soldier were the same being, after this you can definitely say they are not.

“I don’t know why she would do that. It doesn’t seem like her at all, but she must of had a reason. I’m just happy to know she was smiling in the end. That she didn’t regret it.”

He’s shaking his head. “What reason could she have had? I would have been hurt, sure, but not killed at that distance.”

“My sister was always responsible. She did what she was supposed to, never took risks. If she stepped in front of you I don’t doubt that there was a reason for it.” You smiled a little. “She wasn’t like me, with poor impulse control.” You turn more to him, making sure he’s really looking at you. “Listen, I love my sister and I can see what happened has really torn you up, but I want you to know, it’s not your fault. It was her decision, whatever her reason was. Please don’t beat yourself up about it anymore than you already have, ok?”

He wasn’t sure if it was the fact that it was her closest living relative that was saying these things to him, or if it was because it was coming from someone with her face, but the weight he had been carrying on his chest since that day finally lifted a bit. He could take in a full breath, he didn’t fail her. Exhaling slowly, he took your hand that was on his knee and squeezed. “Thank you.” You just nodded and he could see the tears form in your eyes, blinking them back. He took out his phone, wanting to do something, anything, for this woman that looked so like her.

“May I see your phone?” Bucky asked. You look at him in confusion before producing the device. His was Stark tech it looked like, and he held it to yours, clicking a few buttons. “That’s my personal number. If you ever need anything, call me.”

“Thanks, but I’m pretty good at staying out of trouble, especially only a couple of blocks from home.” You chuckle. While you could always find trouble, usually it didn’t stick.

His eyes widen. “You live around here?”

“Yeah, why?”

“That’s why I’ve been seeing you all over the place.” He seemed relieved, running a hand through his hair. “I thought I was going crazy.” He laughs.

You snort. “We’re twins but it’s not like we look that much alike. I got the shit end of the metabolism stick, plus how can you go to France and not eat a ton of the food. They are masters of indulgence.”

“France?”

“Yeah, I was studying over there. Art restoration. I didn’t make it back for the funeral.”

“Steve and I were over there a lot during the war. I don’t remember the food being that good.” He smirked at you.

“That was years ago and they were rationing at the time. I don’t think any food would have been good back then.”

He laughed, a warm rich sound that you could quickly become addicted to. “Yeah, food is much better now.”

You realize that he’s still holding your hand, so you interlock your fingers and sit back relaxed on the bench. Closing your eyes, you turn to face the sun, letting it warm you. He shifts beside you and you peek out under your lashes and see him copy your position. He takes in a breath and sighs, squeezing your hand a little. The two of you sit there for what seems like a long while, warm in the sun, until the buildings around you swallow it up and the shade comes in.

Taking your hand from his, you sit up and stretch. “That’s the most relaxed I’ve been in the last 6 months.” You giggle. He nods and cracks his neck. You hear a whirring noise and see his arm do some twisty motions under his jacket. “Thank you Sergeant Barnes for talking with me, even though I know it was painful.”

“Bucky.”

“I’m sorry?”

“My friends call me Bucky.” He states as he stands up, reaching a hand down to help you up.

“Well, thank you Bucky. Hopefully we’ll see each other again.”

The two of you walk out of the little lot, each going in a separate direction.

Next Chapter

Tags are still open for this guy. I’m going to be posting every other week this one with Dog Days of Summer between. So next week will be Chris story.

Hometown Rising Country Music & Bourbon Festival to Make its Anticipated Debut In Louisville, Kentucky on September 14 & 15, 2019 at Highland Festival Grounds at KY Expo Center; Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Dwight Yoakam, & Many More to Perform

Premier independent festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents continues to show its love for Louisville with a third addition to a massive fall festival series in the one-of-a-kind city. Hometown Rising, the first-ever Country Music & Bourbon Festival, will make its debut Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15 at Highland Festival Grounds at KY Expo Center, combining two of Louisville's cultural cornerstones—great music and incredible bourbon. Hometown Rising's incredible music lineup will be led by country heavyweights including Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, and Little Big Town, with additional appearances from Dwight Yoakam, Brett Young, Jake Owen, Bret Michaels, Frankie Ballard, and many more. In total, more than 30 artists will play on three stages, including two side-by-side main stages, over the course of the weekend.

Hometown Rising exclusive VIP packages, General Admission tickets, camping and hotel packages, as well as special event tickets go on sale Friday, February 15 at 12:00 PM EDT. With three back-to-back festival weekends in Louisville in 2019, Danny Wimmer Presents wants to ensure all fans have the chance to enjoy multiple events with an affordable and convenient ticketing option. New this year, fans can purchase a special "Trifesta" Pass for the discounted rate of only $229.00 plus fees. The pass allows General Admission weekend access to all three DWP fall festivals in Louisville—Hometown Rising (September 14 & 15), Bourbon & Beyond (September 20-22) and Louder Than Life (September 27-29). "I am beyond thrilled to be playing the very first year of Hometown Rising, and to have the opportunity to be part of such a prestigious and eclectic lineup of modern country artists," says performer Alice Wallace. Adds festival producer Danny Wimmer, "Hometown Rising is a blend of the music and culture I grew up around, in a place I now consider a second home. While DWP is best known for our rock festivals, I was surrounded by country music growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, and I'm excited to be expanding our portfolio with a genre and a place that are both close to my heart. I can't think of a better location to launch a country music festival than right here in bourbon country. Mayor Fischer and the Louisville community continue to be great partners as we take this next step in the marriage of great music, food and bourbon." Bourbon authority and best-selling author Fred Minnick is the festival's official spirits curator and has helped assemble incredible onsite experiences, including bourbon tastings and workshops for fans 21+ during Bourbon Heritage Month. The centerpiece, the legendary Big Bourbon Bar presented by Louisville Courier Journal, will feature more than two dozen hand-selected bourbons from top distilleries, and a unique opportunity to enjoy bourbons and exclusive one-time specialty cocktails. Fred Minnick's Mini Bar presented by The Bourbon Women Association will showcase craft selections.

Do It for the Future You – Retirement

For some strange reason, I think about retirement a lot. Am I the only one? It reminds me of George Costanza from Seinfeld, the episode of “The Old Man”: Ben: I'm not afraid of dyin'. I never think about it. George: You don't? Boy, I think about it a lot. I think about it at my age. Imagine how much I'll be thinkin' about it at your age. All I'll do is keep thinkin' about it until it drives me insane... Maybe it’s a blessing and a curse. I need to cut back in terms of thinking about it so often, but at the same time there are many out there who need to start thinking about it a lot more. We may think that earning a paycheck is a reward for a job well done at work. What about when we’re not receiving that paycheck anymore in our retirement age? How about a job well done for all those years we continued to work? Shouldn’t we pay our future selves a bit: “if only there were a way to actually see yourself as a 73-year-old retiree who wishes your younger self had saved more.” This article also talks about the human behavior in wanting a reward right away rather than waiting. Retirement Saving – You’re Responsible Back in the day retirement was easy, pensions were more common as people could retire and move to their dream community. Nowadays, most people overestimate how much they'll receive from social security and underestimate how long they will live. And chances are people won't want to give up their standard of living during retirement either; actually we’ll want to enhance it. Conservative planners may want to use 100 percent of their income for retirement. In terms of dollars needed, $1.2 was an average presented in the book Crash Course on Money Smarts: 15 Laws of Managing Money and Creating Wealth (Crash Course Series)

. But guess what? Despite all the burden falling onto us, companies are still trying to make it easy to save for retirement. Thanks for automatic enrollment, “according to a 401(k) benchmarking survey issued by Deloitte Consulting LLP, 42 percent of 436 companies examined use the automatic enrollment feature in their company retirement plans.” This is a great feature because when you’re hired you are automatically enrolled. You have the option of leaving the program if you don’t want it. Most people, however just stay in it which is great because it’s automatically investing for them. Even though this automatic feature is available, we still have to do more like pick the right investments/funds, try to increase by a little each year if we can, and speak with a professional every now and them to make sure our retirement fund is on track. If not make adjustments accordingly. Retirement Saving – What’s The Excuse? 70% of all the people in the U.S. who have the option of opening a 401k at work totally ignore the option according to Dr. Koenig. People want to enjoy life now, live in the present, tomorrow is not promised to anyone, we can get hit by a bus (seriously I’ve never heard in the news someone actually being hit by a bus – could still happen though). Bu it’s not all on the employees either, many employers don’t offer a retirement plan at all and this makes it even easier for employees to either ignore or find a reason not to have a plan in place. Per CBS News, small employers are concerned about the fiduciary liability they accept under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act….and don’t the resources to evaluate retirement offerings and navigate requirements.” The article concludes that it’s ultimately up to the employees whose employers don’t have retirement plans set up to research, shop, and select plans. Their employer or the government is not going to help, at least for now. The truth is for most people, there are always unexpected expenses that come up. Retirement, however is expected an inevitability, so it makes sense to save consistently for an event you know will happen in the future. How to Start Retirement Savings Today If you don’t have a retirement plan at work, Then go to your bank and open and Individual Retirement Account (IRA). If your bank doesn’t offer an IRA, Then open an account at another bank (I know Bank of America) has one. On a side note and a hack for people, I went there to speak to someone about retirement about a year ago. I already had a retirement account, but wanted to just get some free advice from a retirement professional. If you can’t contribute a lot, Then sit down and calculate all your income and expenses and see how much you can (even if it’s $20, $25, $50) a month. If you don’t know what to invest in, Then consider a target fund based on when you think you want to retire (you can change your options later if you decide to do so because these types of funds do tend to have higher fees than ETFs and Index Funds). If you’re afraid of the stock market and that you may lose money that you invest, Then buy into a fund that is diversified will minimize this risk. Yes you may lose a little bit every now and then, but over the long-term you’ll be better off invested in a retirement account rather than sitting on cash (and it tempting you to buy something for now instead of the FUTURE you). So if you’re not saving for retirement, now there are really no good excuses. Start now for the FUTURE you. And (just for kicks) if you still don’t see yourself that far down the road, check out this AgingBooth app where you can take a picture of yourself to see what you’ll look like in the future (hopefully with less wrinkles because you saved and are not financially stressed :-) ______________________________________________________________________

I use because (1) it’s free, (2) it tracks all of my accounts and overall net worth, (3) my account balances automatically update, (4) it shows how my investments are diversified and allocated in various sectors, and (5) can use built-in tools like “Investment Checkup” to get….wait for it…free personalized advice!

Zoltan Bathory, guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch said, "Every time we've played Houston it's always been a great time.

As we said then — and reaffirm now — we're committed to building an incredible rock show for the Houston rock community. It's not our preference to stop a show, or inconvenience anyone by having them seek shelter or leave the facility, but we take dangerous weather conditions very seriously and will not compromise anyone's safety. Looking forward to bringing the rock back to Texas!"

Through our extensive network of friends, supporters, and affiliates, we are able to reach out to individuals and present them with one of a kind experiences and opportunities that arise. We feel a Dyin 2 Live Dream can offer a source of inspiration for those undergoing difficult medical treatments and be a positive force that offers a life-changing impact not only on them, but also the family to overcome their obstacles. If you are currently fighting cancer or know of someone in the fight who could benefit from a Dyin 2 Live Dream, please submit your story and tell us why and how a Dyin 2 Live day would help. Also, anyone interested in being a supporter, volunteer, or donor, please contact us at [email protected]. Take Me Home: Take Me Home (TMH) has been saving the lives of homeless animals since 2001.
