book rec by me

so you want to get back into reading books but have no idea where to start and disdain booktok (if you get me started on this however i will become an unskippable cutscene so that's for another day). understandable. there is so much out there and it is all so overwhelming and you don't even know what you like now that you've been a decade out of the game. again, understandable. it does not have to be scary. i will help you. below i have created some categories that can get you started.

i want to read Literature

literary fiction, with crossover from historical fiction and magical realism

PEACH BLOSSOM SPRING by melissa fu

THE VASTER WILDS by lauren groff

THE FAMILY CHAO by lan samantha chang

OUTER DARK by cormac mccarthy

SEVERANCE by ling ma

LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS by ryka aoki

IDENTITTI by mithu m. sanyal

PIRANESI by susanna clarke

i want to read sci-fi/fantasy that won't break my brain

sci-fi and fantasy that is gentler on the brain cells. easier to grasp magic systems with multiple but not an overwhelming number of overlapping plotlines

EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES by heather fawcett

KINGS OF THE WYLD by nicholas eames

THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by andrea stewart

i want to read sci-fi/fantasy that forces me to lock the fuck in

i would not recommend picking these up as your first foray back into books after many years of not reading recreationally, but i'm not your mom.

THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATER by simon jimenez

JADE CITY by fonda lee

THE FIFTH SEASON by n.k. jemisin

THE RAGE OF DRAGONS by evan winter

A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE by arkady martine

GIDEON THE NINTH by tamsyn muir

THE ART OF PROPHECY by wesley chu

THE GRACE OF KINGS by ken liu

horrify me!

there is far more to the horror literary canon than stephen king and dean koontz, i promise. consider looking up warnings for these.

SCYTHE by neil shusterman

WE HUNT THE FLAME by hafsah faizal

SIX OF CROWS by leigh bardugo

GEARBREAKERS by zoe hana mikuta

i'll read anything that's not straight or white

many books in the above categories fit this, but here's even more, across a variety of genres.

BABEL by r.f. kuang

WHEN THE RECKONING COMES by latanya mcqueen

THE UNBROKEN by c.l. clark

IF YOU'LL HAVE ME (graphic novel) by eunnie

DIVINE RIVALS by rebecca ross

STRIKE THE ZITHER by joan he

THE RED PALACE by june hur

A STUDY IN DROWNING by ava reid

EMPIRE OF SAND by tasha suri

LEGENDBORN by tracy deonn

i check out and read a lot of these books for free via my local library by using the libby app (you can even add your friends' library cards to gain access to libraries in places you don't live). when i'm feeling like reading via audiobook, i use libro fm!

look, no one HAS TO read diversely. no one is going to be reverse fahrenheit 451'd and locked in a room with no fanfic and only books and not let out until they work their way through the entire literary canon. but reading, and reading widely, and reading diversely, is what teaches people to form their own opinions and question the things they are told. it's why they hang up stuff like "READ READ READ!!" in grade school classrooms.

we live under systems that increasingly benefit from going unquestioned. no, of course reading ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by robin hobb is not going to dismantle these systems tomorrow, nor probably even in our lifetimes. but doing it will help set up a world capable of doing it in the future. and until further notice, we are all part of this wretched world. might as well read a good story while we're here.

anyway, i'm reading THE WEST PASSAGE by jared pechaček and the new cmq book this week.

#read books! i promise it's not 'all colleen hoover' THERE IS SO MUCH OUT THERE.#and the more attention that nonwhite noncishet narratives get the more this signals to the market that audiences are interested!#inb4 'why did fanfic catch strays 😭 fanfic is still reading' it absolutely is! and is integral to the fannish ecosystem!#they're not worse or better - but they're fundamentally different and serve a different purpose #my credentials are that i've read/written fanfic for 15 years and have written 2 million words of it through my life LIKE I'M ONE OF YOU.#anyway. i expect this will get like 12 notes but i had to know i did my part.

list of young actresses of color who deserve to have more recognition and opportunities as actors like Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kathryn Newton, Millie Bobby Brown etc. It would be refreshing to see more of these talented and underrated actresses of color

*Note, the list consists of actors born within the mid 90s-2000s. This might not be a complete list so whoever sees this is welcome to add more actors that I missed. I might update this post from time to time

This list has gotten so long that I have to make a separate one for male actors of color

Rachel Zegler-(she deserved way better than the hate over snow white)

Lana Condor-(aside from x-men apocalypse and the to all the boys trilogy, she hasn't done much blockbusters compared to Noah, despite her being the lead in the latter films)

Dominique Thorne-(She has her Ironheart and deserves more opportunities, both in the mcu and outside)

Halle Bailey

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

Lola Tung-(same example with Lana, pretty jarring how her male co-stars are getting work beyond the summer i turned pretty and yet there's nothing from Lola)

Ashley Liao

Megan Suri-(another cast member from Never Have I Ever who also deserves all the opportunites)

Joy Sunday-(Bianca from Wednesday, deserves as much love as Emma Myers)

Iman Vellani-(Ms Marvel/Kamala Khan herself, deserves to have a thriving career and be as big like Tom Holland)

Ayo Edebiri-(2023 was a big year for her, hopefully it continues and she's not overlooked or overshadowed by her white co-stars in The Bear)

Savannah Smith-(Carried the gossip girl reboot, she deserves to have as much recognition as Leighton and Blake did after the original Gossip Girl series)

Madison Reyes-(Julie and the Phantoms deserved better than to be cancelled after one season and with a cliffhanger. Let her star in a musical and or disney film)

Simone Ashley-(One of the main leads in Bridgerton yet Phoebe and Nicola have more upcoming projects than her in Hollywood)

Charithra Chandran

Arsema Thomas

India Amarteifio

Madeleine Madden-(Carried season 2 of The Wheel of Time and if you watched the whole season, you'll understand why)

Moses Ingram-(Did not deserve the hate over the Obi Wan Kenobi series)

Minnie Mills-(She deserved to appear in season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty)

Amrit Kaur

Alyah Chanelle Scott-(it's frustrating that both the main leading ladies of color are overshadowed by Renee Rapp and Pauline, who's related to Timothy)

Letitia Wright-(Pretty jarring how she's been in plenty of mcu projects yet it's easy to count the number of roles she's been in outside the mcu, and has been acting since 2011, longer than Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy and Millie Bobby Brown. Wright has even acted as long as Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams and they've been in more projects than her)

Yasmin Finney-(She's done both Heartstopper and Doctor Who)

Imani Lewis-(First Kill deserved better than being cancelled after one season. Let her do more horror and supernatural themed

Leah Jeffries-(Deserves all the support especially once the Percy Jackson series comes out)

Auli'i Cravahlo

Erin Kellyman-(After the Han Solo film, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Willow, let her appear in more sci-fi and action blockbusters)

Sadly, tumblr has a 30 limit on adding gifs. I definitely missed so many on the list. Anyone is welcome to add more to the list. All of these talented actresses deserve all the love, appreciation and more opportunities and roles

I might do a part 2 which will include male actors

Promises

Summary: Bucky Barnes is abducted on his final mission before retiring to start a family with his wife. As the others search for him he tries to find a way to escape his captors.

Length: 4.5 K

Warnings: Cursing, violence, Bucky lies to his wife one final time.

Author notes: I added the Thunderbolts at the end as I figured it couldn’t be an official Avengers mission. *Quoted from Henry V, Act 3, Scene 1, written by William Shakespeare.

He promised.

When Diane last saw him, he promised to come back, promised that this was the last time.

"When I return, I'll retire and we'll buy that log house in the country, the one with the wrap around porch, so we can sit and watch the sunrise, then eat lunch while looking out over the valley. At the end of the day, we'll watch the sunset together before we go to bed and make a baby, or two, or three. I'll have a workshop where I can fix up cars or motorcycles while you write. You just have to let me go on this one last mission. Then I'll be done with it all. I promise."

So, she let Bucky go. She told Sam and Joaquin to make sure to bring him home in one piece. Then she waited for him to return. It was hard because this was a secret mission, so secret she wasn't told anything, except that it was vital to international security. Which was code for HYDRA. That much Diane knew.

One week passed, then another and on the 17th day after Bucky left, the doorbell rang. Thinking it was a delivery, she opened it in anticipation and saw Sam waiting on the other side, his face already telling her that something had happened.

"No," she said, before he even had a chance to say a word. "He promised. I told you to bring him home."

As Sam stepped in and tried to put his arms around her, she pushed him away, putting distance between them. He tilted his head, his face devastated, as she bent over, then slumped to the floor.

"What happened?" Diane asked, looking up at the man who had introduced her to the love of her life.

"He told us he was out and to blow the facility," he admitted. "The place went up, but he didn't show at the quinjet. We thought perhaps he lied and was still inside when he gave the order but there were no signs of him. None of the Red Wings detected any heat signatures or heart beats. We called in Scott and Hope, and they shrunk down to get into the small spaces but there was no sign of him. Right now, he's MIA but I don't know if he's alive or dead."

"What about the arm?" she asked. "There's a tracker, right? Shuri can detect vibranium halfway around the world, can't she?"

"She can't detect it as it seems to be blocked," said Sam, then he kneeled down. "We're not giving up. We'll find him, I promise."

He promised.

🦾 ✈️

There was no sound, no light, and he was cold, so cold. For a moment, Bucky flashed back to that minuscule moment when he was still aware before the cryogenic capsule froze him, when he was still the Winter Soldier. Panic almost overrode every rational thought in him, then he breathed and relaxed a little, knowing that if he were frozen, he would be unable to inhale and exhale. Concentrating on his hands, he flexed his fingers and heard the mechanisms in his left hand as it responded to his thoughts. Good, it was still functional. His right hand also moved but it was stiff, as it was so cold. First, he tried to extend his hands out to the side, trying to determine if he was enclosed in something. He felt a surface on both sides, then tried to figure out what he was touching. It was a fabric of some sort, but his left hand couldn't feel anything other than its presence and his right hand was so cold he couldn't tell what type of fabric it was. Raising his hands up from his body he felt a surface above him, perhaps six inches up, maybe a little more.

I'm in a goddam box.

The tendril of panic began curling in Bucky's stomach, and he breathed in and out slowly, forcing the panic to subside and stop. He was aware of a very slight breeze of cool air coming from his feet, so whatever he was in was ventilated enough for him to breathe. Remembering everything he learned about panic and anxiety he slowly blinked his eyes, trying to determine if there was any difference in lighting when his eyes were open. It took a few moments to confirm that whatever he was in was completely dark. He breathed deeply again, only this time he concentrated on any smells, picking something up, something familiar. It took a few moments for him to place it, aviation fuel. He was in an aircraft. Listening now, he picked up the soft motor of the air pump that was keeping him supplied with fresh air. Totally calming himself, he listened and slowly the sound of the aircraft reached his sensitive ears. He smiled grimly in the darkness of the enclosure that held him, accepting that he was in the cargo hold of a transport plane, possibly one that was unheated. If it were up at a high altitude that would explain why he was so cold.

The longer it flies, the further away I'll be from home.

Bucky could punch his way out but there wasn't enough room for him to generate enough force with a punch. Kicking would also be unproductive. It would have to be force, constant steady pressure of his hands and then knees and feet to force the top of this box off. That was going to take some time and preparation, slowly wedging himself into position then using all of the strength of his vibranium arm to freeing himself. After that, he needed to be prepared for what was outside the box. He smirked. It was Schrödinger's cat in reverse. There could be anything outside this box, but he wouldn't know until he broke out.

He took some time to remember what happened before the building went up. After days of searching the dense jungle, then locating the secret base they spent more days sending in Scott and Hope on the miniaturized Red Wing units, scanning the entire layout. They went over and over the plan to infiltrate, download the server onto an external hard drive, then rig the place to blow before evacuating and rendezvousing at the quinjet. He remembered being the last one out and sending the signal to blow the building as he ran through the dense jungle. Then there was a sharp pain in his neck, and he fell, his legs and arms immobilized as whatever was in the dart ... that he pulled out ... finally knocked him down. He couldn't react when they picked him up and carried him somewhere. Although he was groggy, he remembered voices, mostly men, except for one woman with a Spanish accent. Some of the men had American accents but there were also at least two Russian ones. There were complaints about how heavy he was and maybe they should take the arm off to lighten the load.

"No, the arm is of interest to the buyer," said the woman. "Nobody touches it, or the deal is off."

He was captured and sold. Once again, he relaxed and let his mind wander as memory fragments returned to him. There was another injection in his neck, then his arms and legs were restrained with something shiny ... titanium. But the restraints weren't on him now ... because they were too big to fit in the box. Whoever designed the box said it would block any trackers on him and make it impossible for the vibranium arm to be tracked as well. They were confident it would hold the Asset. They called him the Asset. It was HYDRA. He had to get out now.

🖥️ 🪤

Hours later Shuri sent notice to all of them that she had something to report. From her lab in Wakanda, she sent them the footage from the satellites she hacked into. The images showed Bucky leaving the facility, running through the jungle, then clapping his hand on his neck before falling. A group of people surrounded him. It had been a trap.

"I am still running them through facial recognition," she said, "but one has been identified as an occasional associate of Valentina de Fontaine. She specializes in acquiring difficult individuals and spiriting them out of the country within minutes. She employs a pharmaceutical genius to concoct all sorts of anaesthetic cocktails and injections to immobilize anyone, including Sergeant Barnes."

"Is Fontaine in on this?" asked Sam.

Shuri shook her head. "Unlikely. This woman freelances for whoever pays her the most. I can't see Fontaine waiting until Bucky is out of the country to kidnap him. She could have this woman pick him up on his way to the office and not go to the extent that this abduction did. They carried him to a jeep which was driven to an airfield, where they boarded a newer model of an Antonov AN-124 Ruslan cargo aircraft. Only 80 were built by 2020 and only two were bought by private individuals, both Russian oligarchs. One of them, Nikolai Chernov, doesn't exist, at least his name doesn't until 2015. There are few pictures of him and nothing from before 2015."

"Are you thinking he's HYDRA?"

"It is possible he underwent a name change and cosmetic surgery to change his appearance after the HYDRA files were dumped on the internet. If I were a gambler, my money would be on Chernov."

"Can you track the aircraft?" asked Fury, who was present via a video link.

"Yes, it is over the Black Sea at the moment, heading towards Russian territory. This aircraft fully loaded can fly about 3700 km. Without a full load, carrying only a few passengers, including a certain super soldier, its range is 14,000 km. I suspect that it is headed to Siberia, possibly the facility Sergeant Barnes was held in. There has been an increase in activity around it but nothing we can tie directly to Chernov ... yet."

"Keep working on it," said Fury, then he looked at the others who were assembled. "What are you waiting for? Get on a quinjet and head towards Russia. Keep in contact with Princess Shuri. I'm going to pay Val de Fontaine a visit."

The team were ready within 30 minutes and in the air shortly after. Although they were hours behind, they flew at the top speed of the quinjet, narrowing the lead the cargo aircraft had on them. With luck they could land at the projected destination an hour after the Antonov did. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too late.

✈️ 📦

It had taken some time, but Bucky had finally positioned himself in such a way that he could maximize the pushing force of his vibranium arm. With slow but steady pressure as he pushed away from his body, he hoped to weaken the edges of the box. He was still unsure if it was sealed like a coffin lid with hinges or if it was fastened down all around the edge with screws but either way, if he could get one part of it loosened enough for him to see, then he could concentrate his efforts on a specific section and power his way out. When that happened, he had to be ready to act, fully expecting guards ready to shoot him with more of that tranquilizer. Reasoning that they wouldn't shoot him with bullets considering the trouble they had already gone to in acquiring him, it was important that he have some sort of shield, perhaps a portion of the box itself, to use in his defence. With a deep inhale, he thought for a moment.

It's now or never. Now it is.

The first attempt at applying pressure didn't produce a result, so he increased it until he heard a crack. It sounded like a gunshot to him, being on the inside, but he stopped and listened, hearing no change in the outside sounds that he could tell. A second steady push produced the sound of metal tearing, then suddenly the top raised by an inch or so, just enough for some light to enter. The edges were screwed down, in intervals of every two inches, by the look of it. Only a small length of the top had pulled away but with that part compromised the rest should come easily enough if he really put all his power behind it.

He listened, hearing voices speaking Russian. The cabin was pressurized, otherwise they would have masks on, meaning he could breathe freely. They didn't hear the sound of the lid tearing open or notice the edge coming up. Obviously, they thought enough had been done to keep him contained. With the sounds of the aircraft louder to him, now that he had broken the top seal, he thought it was likely they wore headsets in order to speak over the background noise. That meant they wouldn't react until they actually saw him burst out of the box. He could have the time to take out a few people before anyone else reacted. With a pressurized cabin, no one in their right mind would fire a gun and risk decompression. He only had to worry about a tranquilizer dart.

Once more unto the breach. *

He pressed upwards with all of his might, forcing the top of the box to tear away. Leaping out, even though he felt sluggish and stiff, Bucky turned towards the frightened eyes of the nearest two men, left to guard the box, each of them bundled up in winter wear. They didn't even have time to stand as he leaped towards them, picking them up and throwing them at a second group who were just rising. The one that still stood raised a gun and Bucky rolled onto the floor, picking up a section of the destroyed box, using it as a shield as he advanced towards him. Using it to hit the gun away, he punched the man with enough force to send him flying towards the wall of the aircraft, its cavernous hold empty except for the scattered pieces of the box which once held him and the sprawled bodies of six unconscious men.

"Soldat," said a woman's voice and he whirled to see a woman standing outside the closed cockpit door aiming a tranquilizer gun at him.

"I am no longer the Winter Soldier," he spat. "I am James Bucky Barnes, and you've really pissed me off."

She fired, then looked with both fear and amazement as he caught the dart in his metal hand then advanced towards her. Grabbing her by the arm he held the dart against her throat.

"If I press this into you, will it knock you out or kill you?" he asked. "At this point, I'm willing to inject you just to see for myself. Where are you taking me?"

"Siberia, the old HYDRA facility," she gasped, nervously looking at the dart as he pressed the tip into her skin without piercing it.

"Who is the contract for?" Her lips were set in a grim line, and he squeezed her arm harder. "Tell me."

"HYDRA," she whispered. "A man who survived the purge after the release of the files onto the internet. He has been acquiring enough wealth to start it up again. You were to be the Fist once more."

"The words don't work."

Her eyes met his. "But you have a wife."

With a roar Bucky raised his hand with the dart in it as if to jam it in her throat. She cringed, anticipating her own death but he jammed it against the bulkhead, breaking it in pieces then he pressed her against the wall with one arm and searched her with the other, finding a phone. Shoving her into a seat, he glared at her then he sent a text, watching the screen for confirmation it was received. Grasping the cargo netting that was placed around the perimeter he tore it apart into strips, using it to tie her up, then did the same to the unconscious men. He disarmed all of them, taking a gun for himself, and went into the cockpit, whose pilots were unaware of what was happening in the cargo hold. At least they were until he jammed the muzzle into the neck of the pilot.

"You speak English?" asked Bucky.

"Yes."

"I speak Russian so don't try anything," said the super soldier. "For now, you keep on course and you answer any inquiries from air traffic control like you normally would." He switched to Russian. "If you do anything to alert your people that I am in control I will shoot you and let the aircraft crash. I am a super soldier and can jump from several hundred feet without a parachute. Your death will be meaningless to me. Do you understand?"

"Da, I understand."

The phone rang and Bucky answered it.

"Sam. I'm okay. They're going after Diane. I already texted Fury as I figured by now you and the team would have checked satellite imagery and saw what happened to me. They're taking me to the Siberian facility. I'm taking it down, permanently. As long as it's there someone will always try to bring it back online."

"We concur," replied Sam. "We'll be there an hour after you get to the airport then we'll fly to the facility. Fury will see to Diane and make sure she's safe. Wait for us. I brought your favourite weapons."

Bucky smiled grimly. Sam was so thoughtful.

"It was a trap, wasn't it? I thought it went too smoothly."

"Yeah, someone mentioned to a certain free lancer that you were retiring, and word made its way to Nikolai Chernov. He was known as Yuri Karolenko when he was in HYDRA. When Natasha Romanoff dumped the HYDRA files onto the internet, he was smart enough to go underground, get cosmetic surgery and change his name. Built a little fortune in the process. We're hoping he's in Siberia and we can take him into custody."

"Well, I have the team that took me tied up in back. If you could arrange for someone to take them into custody at the airfield nearest the Siberian facility I would appreciate it."

"Will do." Sam hesitated. "Buck? I'm glad you're okay. I thought you didn't get out before the building was destroyed. Telling Diane you were missing ... man, I don't ever want to go through that again."

"You won't," said Bucky. "I'm done. I promised her."

They shared a few more pleasantries then Bucky hung up. It was still going to be a while before they landed. He flipped down a jump seat in the cockpit and sat, watching the two pilots. He would have to monitor them for the rest of the trip. That was alright with him. The knockout drug they gave him was all the rest he needed.

The arrest of the abduction team was anticlimactic. At first, the Russians refused to arrest the group on the airplane but when Nick Fury provided the Russian president with proof that Chernov was planning a coup (courtesy of some high-level hacking from Shuri), the level of cooperation increased significantly. A Russian military unit arrived at the airbase nearest to the old Siberian facility, along with an American diplomatic team who were dispatched from the U.S. Consulate General in Vladivostok. It was the latter who informed Bucky that a military unit was sent to the Siberian facility to arrest everyone there, as the Russian president was claiming sovereignty over the situation. Although he was grateful to the Avengers for alerting him to Chernov's actions, he no longer wished for their presence in the country. As soon as the quinjet arrived he wanted them to leave. The destruction of the former HYDRA facility would become the responsibility of a Russian team.

It was difficult for Bucky to accept that declaration, but he had no choice but to wait for the arrival of Sam and the others. When they arrived 55 minutes later, they greeted their teammate then re-boarded the quinjet and set a course for Hawaii, six hours flight away at top speed. It was late when they landed at Hickam Air Force Base in Pearl Harbour. A minibus was waiting for them and transported them to several private guest houses at the base. As they were dropped off, a base officer assigned them to their quarters. When he handed Sam and Joaquin their access cards, Bucky began to follow them into their bungalow.

"Sergeant Barnes? If you'll follow me, I'll walk you to your guest quarters," said the young lieutenant.

"All I need is a bed and a coffee maker," growled Bucky, tired and still grouchy about not being able to make sure the Siberian facility was destroyed.

"We have more than that for you," smiled the officer.

He led Bucky up the walkway to a small bungalow, knocked on the door then left. Puzzled, Bucky watched him walk away then turned back to the door when he heard it being opened. The next thing he knew Diane's arms were around his neck, crying as she clutched him firmly against her.

"Baby, don't cry," he murmured, stroking her hair and back before he kissed her. "I'm okay, really."

They kissed again, deeper this time as he walked them both into the small house and closed the door with his foot. She was already undoing the straps and zippers on his jacket, peeling it off him. As their desires grew, they discarded their clothing while they moved towards the bedroom. The next half hour was blurred in a lot of kissing, touching, and love making. When they had sated their needs after more than 2 ½ weeks apart, they laid under the covers of the bed talking.

"How did you get here?" he asked.

"Magic portal,' she smiled. "Nick Fury arranged for it, after I helped in the arrest of the pair sent to abduct me." Bucky was quiet, disturbed that his wife was used in an arrest. She could tell and eased his concern about it. "All I did really was answer the door. They were disguised as FBI agents sent to take me to a safe house. But SHIELD was already there and when I went to my room to get my purse, they made the arrests. Did you destroy the Siberian facility?"

"No, the Russian government said they would handle it and wanted us out," he answered, shaking his head. "Not sure I believe them."

"Well, you're done now, right?" She ran her hand through his hair, scratching his scalp in a manner that always relaxed him. "You promised."

"I did promise," he answered, groaning slightly at how good her hands felt. "I'm retired, as of right now."

His words were sealed with a kiss and more making love. After two days in Hawaii the whole team plus Bucky and his wife flew back in the quinjet. The couple bought the log house with the wrap-around porch and began to live a quiet life as they prepared to begin a family. It was what Bucky always promised Diane.

Three months later

Sam, Bucky, and Nick Fury, stood at the quinjet, facing U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Black Widow, Ghost, Taskmaster and Sentry, the group formerly known as the Thunderbolts. They were all in civilian clothes.

"This mission wiped the slate clean for all of you," said Fury. "The destruction of the HYDRA facility in Siberia is top secret and not to be discussed in the future by anyone. If we hear any chatter about the mission and trace it to any of you, your pardons are cancelled. As far as the Russian government is concerned a malfunction in the self-destruct mechanism set it in motion and their people were unable to stop it, resulting in the evacuation of their staff. They witnessed the destruction of the site."

"You're sure the Russians don't know it was us," confirmed Alexei Shostakov, Red Guardian. "I don't want to be hiding from their covert security forces."

"We're sure. The enchantments put on you made you invisible to the security cameras. You successfully evaded any human contact while you were there. By all signs you worked well together and if you're open to more assignments with us, we will welcome you with open arms. If you choose to freelance instead just remember to pick your employers carefully. We will be watching. Anything else?"

John Walker, U.S. Agent smirked. "Is Bucky afraid if his wife finds out he went on one more mission she'll divorce him?"

"I'm more afraid she'll kick my ass," replied Bucky. "Being pregnant with a super soldier baby has made her get a lot stronger than me. All she knows is I went on a road trip to find a car for me to restore and stayed several nights in a motel." The sound of an approaching vehicle drew all their attention. "In fact, there it is."

Alexei whistled appreciatively as the driver of Bucky's truck parked beside them pulling a vehicle on a flatbed trailer. "A 1971 Dodge Charger. 426 engine?"

Bucky nodded. "426 Hemi but it needs to be rebuilt. Body needs work." He saw the admiration on the Russian man's face. "You want to help? I have another spare room at home."

Alexei looked at Yelena as he had promised to spend time with her after the mission. "Go ahead, Dad. It's good to have a hobby. I know where to find you." She looked at Fury. "What if Valentina de Fontaine tries to recruit us?"

He let out an audible breath. "That's up to you but you know she can't be trusted. It was her slip of the tongue that saw Sergeant Barnes abducted. She still insists it was an innocent comment to an acquaintance, but that woman does nothing accidentally."

"Well, may I discuss working with the Avengers permanently? My sister trusted you and you have been more than fair with me."

"Miss Belova, we can definitely talk." Fury looked at the others, waiting for any other overtures. "You know where to find me." He turned to Bucky then and extended his hand to shake the other's. "I guess this is really goodbye then. You've come a long way from the man who tried to kill me twice. Steve Roger's faith in you wanting to get out from behind the mask was justified. You've been a valued member of our team, and we will miss you, James."

"Thank you ... Nick." He grinned, knowing Fury didn't like his first name being used. "You're a tough man to kill and I'm glad I was unsuccessful. Take care of Sam and the others. I promised my wife that I would retire when we were ready to start a family. I'm just keeping my word to her."

Gesturing to Alexei, the two men got into his truck. With a wave Bucky drove away from the quinjet leaving that part of his life behind for good.

He promised.
