True Colors Chapter 7

You watched wide eyed as Ali Blaire and her bandmates toted their instruments across the floor. Your heart beat faster with each step they took as you watched your idol move ever closer, only to feel as if it had stopped when you finally realized the costume she had opted for was a mockup of your uniform. “OhmygodohmygodOHMYGOD!” You swooned, starstruck as you clutched the straps to your blue winged backpack that had turned you into the my little pony with the rainbow hair for the night.

Setting her things down she flashed you an impish smile and a wave leaving you speechless. Bucky watched from behind the Ironman mask, letting out a laugh at your reaction. “Wave back Doll.” He reminded you as he shoved an elbow into your ribs to restart your mind.

As you stood waving like an excited idiot a large pair of white pillow soft wings and strong muscled arms wrapped around you from behind lifting you up. “Hey there’s my favorite DJ!” Warren exclaimed happily giving you a tight squeeze as you giggled, letting him shake the nerves out of you.

“Nice to see you too Warren,” you returned as he set you down.

His eyes scanned over the Ironman suit before giving a little scoff. “You really missed the point didn’t you Tony?” Warren’s voice was course, fooled by the discarded suit parts.

“Sorry,” You answered as he took the mask off, “but Tony isn’t going to be joining me tonight...Something about the two of you being in the same room just screamed half of New York’s women needing to run for cover to me.”

As you set up everything on stage people slowly started making their way in. Your eyes closed as you drew in a deep breath, letting the soft murmur of the room filling excite and soothe you at the same time. “Hey Bucky can you hand me that cord?” You asked with your hand out, just assuming he was lingering by you as you hooked everything together. “Thanks Buck.” You said politely as you felt the cord fill your hand.

“Thanks for what Doll?” Bucky asked as he stepped in front of you, a bottle of water for each of you in his hands. His eyes drifted over, sizing up the one who seemed to be helping you. “Who’s this?”

“Umuh…” Confused, you followed his gaze to your mysterious helper, jumping up straight as you were met with a familiar pair of puppy dog brown eyes and skin with just a hint of tan hiding behind long golden brown hair.

“Hey beautiful.” His silky smile was just as you remembered, and still just as heartbreaking to see. “You looked like you could use a hand. I didn’t realize…” He turned to Bucky holding a hand out. “Sorry man, I didn’t mean to intrude.”

“What are you doing here Eric?” You asked, refusing to let him see just how hard it was for you to be looking at him right now. “Isn’t this pretty much the exact opposite of that space we were supposed to have from each other?”

“I know...I’m sorry. I just missed you so much and when I saw you on that flyer...” Your mind raced back to the fight that drove the two of you apart though you struggled to recall how it started in the first place. Bucky’s eyes darted between the two of you as he put the pieces together in his mind, and a little relieved to finally learn that there was nothing going on between you and Tony.

“You decided you’d come kill my chances of a good night just like you tried to kill my career last time?”

“No. I decided that I should apologize.”  Eric insisted as he grasped your hand, “please baby. You were my light in the dark. I don’t know how I can go on without you. I was an idiot to let you go.” As he spoke you could feel the pitter patter of your heart...he did always have a way of making you forget reason...and you had to admit that as nice as it was to have friends like Tony and Wanda around it just wasn’t the same. “I’ll change. I’ll be better...I swear.”

“Alright,” you sighed as you reached for him, “we’ll give it another shot.” Bucky smiled as you and Eric embraced each other, happy to see you happy.

“Well I think this is my cue to go...anywhere but here.” Bucky chuckled.

“No no, it’s alright.” Eric insisted. “I’ll let you two finish setting up.” He turned to you, brushing his finger against your cheek lightly, just the way you used to love. “Good luck tonight Baby.” He brushed a soft kiss against your lips that sent your heart racing just like your time apart never happened. “Meet me at Cielo tomorrow?” You nodded as he wandered off, leaving you to your work.

“So care to explain?” Bucky asked you with a friendly smirk as he knelt down.

“Not much to explain...He owns a nightclub on 12th… We met when I played there when I first got started.” You found yourself smiling as you thought of the memories you formed with him those long music filled nights. “We were pretty good together.”

“Although that’s sweet Doll,” Bucky started as he picked up a bunch of wires waving them in the air, “but I was talking about how to set up your music thing.”

~ ~ ~ ~

Your rainbow hair shimmered and sparkled under the light show that accompanied your performance, enhancing it in a way that only a light bending mutant could. All the while Bucky leaned against the farthest wall, letting the music wash over him, as he watched you dance and sing your little rainbow heart out. He would have loved to dance too, but truth be told he wouldn’t even know where to begin dancing to something like this. There were no steps, no structure...the movement of the crowd seemed to run off a baser instinct that his generation lacked.

The soft almost smile he wore, however, soon began to fade as he noticed your lights beginning to dim. His face filled with worry as he pushed himself off of the wall, honing in on your eyes, looking for any signs of something that might be wrong. It was in that moment, under the twinkling of the lights that he realized that your eyes were pure beauty...and so sad as they fixated on one corner of the room. His eyes followed yours to find chestnut brown hair atop a shirt that read “Basic Witch” along the front and back, arms around her waist holding her body close as Eric’s lips trailed along her exposed skin. From across the room Bucky’s eyes narrowed with a cold glare, in his mind tallying up all the ways he could kill him without being noticed. The nerve of some people! Gave all guys a bad name. He could tell by the way the music was shifting in tempo that you were about done with your set, the last thing he wanted was to force you to confront this asshole. He could feel all the muscles of his body tense, flexing menacingly as he took long hardened strides to the two canoodling in the corner, stopping for nothing and no one until he was pulling the girl off of him. “What the hell are you doing? You just got back together with her,” he pointed to you on the stage, “what? Two hours ago?”

You watched Bucky’s death march to toward your ex, it was sweet of him to go winter soldier on him for you...as weird as that sounded in your mind you were sure it would sound even stranger out loud. The crowd blissfully unaware of the danger Eric was in in that dark corner roared, mutants eyes wide eyed watching you as you made a name for yourself with the music and light display you made. “Thank you! Everyone! It has been truly amazing performing for you tonight! Downright eye opening.” You turned to the corner watching Bucky’s bionic arm drawback. “I know my time up here is over,” you paused looking to Dazzler waiting to take their place on stage, “but as I look on the man who I just got back together with tonight,” you pointed to the corner they were hiding in,  cameras quickly finding him to show his cheating face to the world, “with the lipstick of another woman still smeared on his face I have to ask please can we change the plan just a little bit?” Ali nodded with a proud smirk, she couldn’t wait to see what was about to go down. “Bucky, don’t hit him, he won’t learn anything from that. Instead let him leave with the knowledge that I’ll never play his lame dying club again.” Your eyes narrowed, growing in anger as

Eric’s eyes widened as he looked up to the stage, Bucky backing away from him as the crowd all turned in the direction. “You think I care? You’re a freak! You all are!” He screamed with harsh eyes as the music died down, security already escorting him out as you sang Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Getting Back Together.

“Wow kid, that was pretty savage!” Ali patted you on the back as you passed eachother on the stage. “His loss girl. I’d be down to hang out with you any time!” Bucky pushed through the crowd to meet you by the stage, letting you burry your face into his chest, old Ironman armor long since shed and safely stored with security, giving you soft muscle to cry into as Dazzler began their performance, dedicating their first song to how well you took that situation. As their performance came to a close Bucky let you go, letting you wander the party to see about making any useful connections.

“Hey Kid,” even over all the noise of everyone still having fun to your pre programmed playlist you made to fill the rest of the night you’d be able to recognize that voice. Spinning you found Ali with an approving smile. Though you tried to speak all that you could find able to come out were broken half syllables. With a chuckle she gestured for you to follow. “So, kid, me and the guys have been thinking about doing something different...a little musical experimentation. I think you’ve got exactly what we’re looking for.”

“You...you want me to join…” You trailed off unable to believe the reality set before you.

“What? No! Our music styles are way too different. But I’d love to collaborate on something with you. Of course I’d make sure my label signs you so you can get a cut.”

Your head began to spin as you began to wonder if this was reality or the best of dreams. From across the floor Bucky noticed the wobble in your step as you followed the woman he had to hear you go on and on about leading up to this night. “You alright doll? For a dame who makes colors you’re pretty pale.”

You felt the cold bite of metal on your back, shocking you back to reality. “YES!” you blurted out as Bucky’s arm kept you from fainting.

“Alright.” Ali chuckled as she grabbed her guitar. “Warren has my number, hit me up and we’ll see what we can come up with.” Your mouth still hanging wide open you simply nodded, leaning against the bionic arm, letting it act as your anchor. But even in the euphoria of Ali’s praise you still couldn’t help feeling empty as you stared at the corner Eric had thought he was safe in, now empty, leaving you with a sense of abandonment that began overwhelming you. Fear and pain welling up inside until you just couldn’t hold it in any longer. The well of tears exploded as you dropped to your knees, everything kicking you at once.

“Oh Doll!” Bucky bent down to pick you up, your face quickly finding its way to his chest, hardly breathing as you cried your eyes out onto him. “Come on Doll, let’s get you out of here. You can play with Dazzler another time.” He scooped you up as you wetted his shirt with tears.

“Hey!” Warren called out as he weaved through the crowd. “She ok?” The angel asked stopping to stroke your rainbow hair, feeling you shake your head no. “Poor girl,” he planted a soft kiss to the top of your head. “Last time Eric did this to her she ate nothing but ice cream for a week,” he sighed. “Look, I have to stay here and take care of all this. You think you can look after our little glowworm here?” Bucky nodded, glad to hear that you had such good friends to look over you.

“We’ll need at least one of each of your desserts, thank you ma’am.” Bucky smiled up to the waitress as he handed her the menus, pile of discarded ironman parts sitting by their booth. Your eyes were settled low on your chocolate shake, though the tears had stopped by the time you both got to the diner  you still felt like you had stepped into a nightmare.

“I can’t believe how stupid I was. Nothing more than a sideshow freak.” You pouted as you sucked down the thick chocolate, feeling the tears begin to reemerge. “Who do I think I’m kidding? I’m nothing more than a walking rainbow.”

Bucky leaned over the table, thick strong fingers gently wiping away the tears. “For what it’s worth Doll, I don’t see you as a sideshow freak. And I don’t see anything wrong with being a walking rainbow.”

“I feel like I’m worthless.” You whimpered as you let your head lay on the table, feeling lifeless.

“Now you’re just being crazy! You saved me, got half of the Avengers pardoned...There were about a million people at that party looking at you like you were their hero. Because you are one. And if that idiot can’t see it then you deserve someone better anyway.”

As the parade of cakes and pies came to the table you felt a smile creeping onto your face from what he had to say. “Thanks Buck.”
