Medusa

Summary: When Fury calls you into his office, you expected to be in trouble not to be offered a spot on the team with the Avengers. Unfortunately, you have a secret you want no one to know about.

Relationships: Avenger x reader (platonic)

Warnings: implied sexual assault, reader is a mutant (similar powers to Mystic), memory loss, mention of death, protective Avengers, fluff, small amount of angst

Medusa tattoo is often interpreted as representing strength, power, and female empowerment. More specifically, some people get a medusa tattoo to indicate that they are a survivor of sexual violence and to symbolize their own empowerment

You thought you were getting fired when Fury called you into his office. You racked your brain for any possibilities that could have led you here. All your mission reports were completed and handed in. You passed your certifications with flying colors. Maybe that dipshit agent reported you. What was his name? Tom? His hand drifted a little too low for your liking during training, and you punched him in the dick. Maria didn’t even bat an eye as he rolled around the ground in pain. “Why do you look nervous?” The director asked.

“Am I in trouble, sir?” You questioned. He folded his hands and rested them on his desk.

“Did you do something that would warrant you being in trouble?” You shrugged. The man rolled his one good eye and pointed to the chair. You sat down, a knot still formed in your stomach. “The Avengers have a mission, and I think your skill sets would be helpful.” He handed you a mission report. You opened it and glanced at it. There wasn’t a lot to go on. The Avengers were looking to get into a HYDRA base that was continuing experiments on misguided individuals. The problem was they needed to find out where the facility was located.

“In 3 days, there will be a party in DC where a few suspected HYDRA personnel will be there,” Fury explained. You looked at the man, still confused about why he believed you were the right agent for the job. “The team has someone in custody invited to the party.” There it was. You closed the file and handed it back to him.

“Do they know?” The question was burning on your tongue since he said you would be joining the team.

“Do you think I’d tell them?” The man looked offended. He was the only one that knew of the scars that covered your body. “No, they only know of your skills as an agent.”

“Nick,” you sighed, sinking deeper into the chair. You were the only one that called him that. He took on a father role when he found you. Instead of turning you in, he adopted you.

“Jr,” he rounded his desk to stand before you. “I wouldn’t have suggested you if you weren’t ready.” You looked at him. His one good eye softened slightly.

“When do I leave?” A smile formed on the man’s usually stoic face.

“As soon as possible. Maria is waiting for you at the compound.” You smiled; at least you would have a familiar face there. “You got this kid.”

*

“There she is!” Maria was quick to rush over to you and bring you into a hug. You saw Natasha walk over to you behind her shoulder. “The big man finally let you join the big leagues, uh, jr?” You rolled your eyes. Maria always liked to tease that you were Fury’s only soft spot. Hell, you were her soft spot, too. Once the agent released you from the bone-crushing hug, you faced the Black Widow.

“Natasha,” she offered her hand, and you shook it. Of course, you knew who she was. “Maria has not stopped talking about you.” You glanced at the agent, but she shrugged her shoulders. “She called you, Jr.,” the Black Widow slowly said. Are your parents agents?” Maria snorted but covered it up with a cough.

“Technically, yes,” you said. The redhead gave you a look for you to continue. “The director adopted me when I was 14.” Natasha’s eyes widened, and her head snapped to look at Maria. The agent cringed slightly. You knew the duo were dancing around being in a relationship- many SHIELD agents talked about it. “It was need to know,” you said. “He didn’t want certain people to find out.” It was understandable. The man had a long list of enemies. Maria put her arm around your shoulders.

“The team is waiting to meet you,” she said. “Are you ready to show them what you can do?” You weren’t 100% sure if you were.

*

“This is the agent the pirate wanted us to bring onto the team,” Tony said as you entered the meeting room. There was an empty seat next to Wanda; you took it with a smile. “She’s a kid.”

“So is Peter, and you let him on the team,” Maria defended.

“I’d be carefully talking about Fury,” Natasha smirked. “You are looking at his kid.” The billionaire’s jaw dropped. You shrugged.

“I didn’t know he had it in him to reproduce,” the comment got him a quick smack to the back of the head by Rhodey. You cringed even though he adopted you, the idea- Nope. Not happening.

“Ignore him,” Steve said. “We are excited to have you on the team.” You smiled at the blonde super-solider.

“Director Fury was unclear on what you could provide for this mission,” Vision said. You made eye contact with Maria, who winked at you. “Can you provide some insight?”

“I’m enhanced,” you said. “I spent time with Charles Xavier to get it under control.”

“Can you show us what you can do?” Sam questioned. You smiled and nodded.

“Maria, pick one of them,” the agent smirked and pointed to Steve. Sighing, you stood up and walked over to the super soldier. He rolled back in his chair away from the table. All you did was hold out your hand. “It won’t hurt.”

“Will it hurt you?” he countered. His statement made you frown. That was different. No one ever asked how your abilities affected you. You shook your head. It never hurt, but it left you disoriented. Steve hesitated but connected his hand with yours. Nothing happened, and you dropped his hand. Then you changed.

You remembered a time before Fury sent you off to Xavier. Every time you grabbed onto someone’s hand, you changed. Now, you can control it and only use your powers when you want to.

No matter how many times you did this, you found it fascinating. You saw the world differently each time. Now, with the super soldier senses, the world seemed sharper. Steve was taller and stronger than you. It felt strange being him.

“Holy fuck.”

“Language,” you said in Steve’s voice. The color was drained from the man’s face as he saw himself in front of him. You looked at Maria with a slight nod, and she knew what you were asking for. She’s seen your powers with Fury.

“Jr, what program did Steve enter to receive the serum?”

“Project Rebirth. I was the only recipient of the serum developed by Abraham Erskine,” you answered. That was an easy question. An answer was easily found in his file or at the museum.

“What are we looking at here?” Rhodey asked. You looked back at Steve.

“Ask me something personal,” you spoke in your voice. He stared at you before his eyes landed on the soldier across from him.

“The fight where I first met Bucky, why did I pick a fight with them?” You smiled.

“They demanded a fee for crossing Tenth Avenue,” you wink before changing back. You watched as your skin bubbled, and then it stopped. “The director said you have someone in custody attending a party you need information from. I can get you that information.” Watching people learn what you could do was always interesting—a range of emotions passed through their faces- amazement, fear, worry.

“How long does it last?” Natasha questioned. She was looking at you with fear even though she masked it well.

“As long as I want it to,” you sat back down. “In 15 minutes, once I stop using it, all your thoughts, memories, and secrets leave my head.” You saw everyone relax.

“How did you get this ability?” You shrugged at Wanda’s question.

“I don’t know,” you traced the groves off the wood. “Not even the director knows. I guess it will forever be a mystery.”

Living and training with the Avengers challenged you. They pushed you harder in training, and you felt yourself growing stronger every day. However, they challenged you to be more social. You were an introvert by nature, afraid to gain the trust of those around you. Your mind might not remember what you were put through, but your body told a different story. Scars covered your body, which was then covered with tattoos.

The team was used to seeing you train in a long-sleeve shirt, never a tank top or sports bra like Natasha or Wanda. No matter how much sweat dripped down your back, you stayed in the long-sleeve shirt. It only came off when you were in the shower or the comfort of your room. They never asked, never forced you to do anything you weren’t comfortable with. They provided you with an extra bottle of water or a hug if you wanted one.

Early on, you also learned they were highly protective over you since you were the youngest full-time member. Even at the HYDRA party, that went well, and you retrieved the information they fused over you. To your surprise, they kept you on the team and didn’t send you back to SHIELD with Fury’s permission. You were enjoying your time with them, your secrets trapped away until they came tumbling out.

*

You thought you were in the clear. The rest of the team watched a movie, and you told everyone you were too tired. However, you left your room and headed to the training area. All you wanted to do was work up a sweat and then go to bed. So you punched at the sandbag, only wearing a sports bra and sweatpants—the rock music you played in your ears blocked out the world around you. You focused on how your knuckles ached at each punch and the beating of your heart behind your ribs. You loved training. It was a simple reminder that you were alive.

It happens on instinct. You felt a hand on your shoulder and grabbed it, flipping whoever it was over and onto their back. The culprit was Sam. You pulled your headphones out of your ears and heard the pained groan the man let out. “Fuck, Sam, you can’t sneak up on me.” You knelt in front of him. “What hurts? Do you want me to get Bruce? How many fingers am I holding up?” He groaned again.

“The only thing that hurts is my pride,” he sat up and rubbed the back of his head. “I like your tattoos. I didn’t know you had any.” You sat down as your hand shook. You were so caught up on making sure he was okay that you forgot about the little clothes you were wearing. He saw them, all of them. Did he know what they meant? “Hey, jr, are you okay? You’re shaking.” You snapped out of it.

“I feel like I should be asking you that question,” you chuckled. He rolled his eyes and reassured you that he was fine. “But wait, aren’t you guys watching a movie? Why are you here?”

“We are watching a movie, and I suggested we have ice cream,” which was no surprise. The world’s mightiest heroes had the worst diets and the craziest sweet tooth. “I drew the short stick of finding you to see if you want any.” Sam stood up and rubbed his butt. “And my ass took one for the team.” You took his outstretched hand he offered you and helped you up. “So, do you want ice cream?”

“No, I’m good.” You wanted to get some air. He frowned.

“Are you sure? You never say no to ice cream. I’m not upset about what happened. We can keep it between us. Please.” You hated how easily it was for him to make you smile.

“I’m okay, I promise,” you began to unwrap your hands. “Have a good night, Sam.” You threw the tap in the trash can on your way out.

*

“Did she want any?” Natasha looked away from her bowl to see Sam without you. He shook his head. “The more of us!” Tony cheered. Natasha rolled her eyes.

“Did you know Jr. has tattoos?” She heard Maria drop her spoon in the bowl, and the agent looked confused.

“How many?” Bucky asked. Sam was constructing his ice cream bowl. He topped it with whipped cream before he answered.

“Her entire right arm is covered. I couldn’t figure out what they were, but on her back was a portrait of Medusa.” Natasha’s stomach dropped. The ice cream she was eating no longer tasted sweet. It was bitter, and it made her stomach turn.

“Medusa?” Wanda questioned. “Are you sure?” Sam chuckled.

“Kind of hard to miss. It’s massive with all the snakes and shit. A little creepy if you ask me.”

“Why would she get a Medusa tattoo?” Rhodey asked. But Natasha knew. It seemed Wanda and Maria knew as well. The three girls dropped their bowls on the nearest surface and left the group. Each one ignored the shots of their names.

“FRIDAY, where is Jr?”

*

Your feet skimmed the water below. The cold summer air caused goosebumps to form on your arm. You had no reason to wear a jacket once you left the training area. If Sam knew everyone else was going to find out. “Hey, Jr,” Maria’s voice made you smile. “Can we join you?”

“Yeah,” you whispered. Maria sat on your right and Wanda on your left. Natasha took the empty spot next to Maria. “They guys didn’t want to join you on a midnight walk.” You tried to joke.

“They are eating their weight in ice cream,” you heard the smile in Natasha’s voice. “I also don’t think they know what it means.” Right. The tattoo of Medusa is on your back, and her Roman story is detailed on your arm. Medusa was a devoted follower of Minerva. She left offerings and offerings to the goddess but was never acknowledged by her. Then, another god wanted her attention: Neptune. The god rapped Medusa in Minerva’s temple, and in revenge, the goddess turned Medusa’s beautiful head of hair into snakes.

“I don’t remember getting the tattoos,” you broke the silence. “I don’t remember much of my life before Nick found me.”

“He found you when you were 14, right?” Wanda questioned. You nodded.

“He says I had them when he found me,” you shivered and soon felt the jacket Maria was wearing around your shoulders. “He was in Ukraine, outside of Lviv, for a mission or something, when he found me in a field surrounded by dead bodies,” you played with the sleeves of the jacket. “We think they are the ones that hurt me. Nick took me in without hesitation. He saved my life,” you sighed, placing your head on Wanda’s shoulder. “I kept them hidden, not wanting people to question or bring attention to them.”

“You don’t have to hide them around us,” Maria said, slowly taking your hand in hers. “You can if you want, but we will never judge or hurt you like they did.”

“I could help you find answers if you ever want to know the truth,” Honestly, the truth scared you. You were already so broken. What if it broke you even more? “You are not broken,” Wanda whispered. It was hard for you to believe that.

“Sometimes I get flashes of what happened to me. Mostly in the form of nightmares. I’m not sure what’s worse than my body knows something bad happened to me, but my mind doesn’t remember it.”

“I think that you had to endure the pain, which is the worst,” Natasha spoke softly. You looked at the Black Widow, who was staring at the water. It was rare that her voice was that soft.

“Do you ever wonder why it was you?” you asked her. You watched her body shake as she exhaled. Maria placed her hand on Natasha’s thigh.

“All the time, but you’ll go mad thinking about the what ifs,” she glanced at you with a smile. “I’ve learned rather painfully that hiding away what happened or pretending it never happened hurts more in the long run.” The redhead placed her hand on top of Maria’s. “You aren’t broken, weak, or lesser because of what they did to you. You are stronger because you are still here despite all of it.” It was like she was telling you these things but reminding herself. You nodded and found yourself looking back at the water. The world was unfair, cruel, and twisted. These women, whom you grew to admire, knew the pain you experienced in some way and the story behind the tattoos that covered your body. How many others experienced it as well?

Hurried footsteps forced you to stand up and turn around. It was Bucky, and you were surprised by the force that he had hugged you, almost sending you into the water. Bucky was never known for his physical affection. He showed that he cared in much smaller ways, with a small smile and a cup of hot chocolate when you had nightmares. Even in training, he ensured your stance was correct and that you were training at your best. Now you weren’t sure if you could go a day without a hug from him. He was warm and strong, and you felt safe. “Do you know who did it?” Your body tensed.

“They are dead, Buck.”

“Good,” he kissed the top of your head. “I’d go Winter Solider on their asses for you, doll.” You laughed and shook your head. “Also, sorry about this.” Before you could question his meaning, he picked you up and threw you into the water. You breached the surface with a gasp.

“What the-”

“Cannonball,” you heard Tony yell. It was the only warning you got as the billionaire ran down the dock and jumped into the water. The splash wet those on the edge, and you heard Natasha yell at him. He resurfaced and shook the water.

“I am sorry, darling,” you watched Vision pick up Wanda.

“Vis, no! No!” But it was useless. The android dropped her into the water next. You laughed, the sound echoing into the night. Bucky smiled, gave you a salute, and jumped in. One by one, the team entered the water by either being thrown in or jumping themselves.

A massive water fight broke out, and FRIDAY brightened the surrounding area so everyone could see. You weren’t sure how long the team was in the water, but you were the last one floating on your back. “Hey, Jr,” you looked at Natasha. A towel was wrapped around her shoulders. “We are having smores. Are you coming?”

“Yeah,” you swam over to the dock and pulled yourself up. Natasha put her arm around you.

“I’m proud of you.” You smiled.

“I’m proud of you too.” Yes, the world was evil, cruel, and dark, but your family made it a little brighter.

Things ensue as the two of you end up becoming friends - and maybe even more - as you reminisce about the old things that you love as well as your mysterious pasts.

Bucky x Reader Modern AU

You hate James Barnes with a burning passion and the feeling is entirely mutual. Just when you think things can’t get any worse, you are tricked into attending his sister’s wedding as his girlfriend. Stuck with a bunch of strangers, you come up with a set of rules that are not going to last long.

Your powers? Controlling any feeling a human can have, from emotions to pain, with a simple brush of your fingertips. Your mission? The traumatized soldier with sad stricken eyes and scream filled nightmares.

This is basically a smut drabble of Beefy! bucky so enjoy

Also, shout to @imyourbratzdoll for this haha

"Yes, yes please baby, fuck..."  you moaned as bucky moves his hips in and out of you, "You like that, doll?" he whispers in your ear as he increases his pace. You can't help the small whimper that leaves your throat as you feel his cock start to penetrate deep inside you. 

“ F-Fuck yes, right there don't stop!” your hand finds his long brown hair and you tugged him down to meet your lips.  He's quick to attack your mouth and establish his dominance. The way his lips feel against yours mixed with his movement, has you reaching your climax. 

“Bucky I'm going to cumm,” you screamed as you pull away from his mouth. Bucky can feel your pussy gripping tighter on his length. “ Same, I won’t last long with the way you feel around me. Fuck Doll! ” Both your moans filled the air as your body shook. You wrapped your legs around Bucky’s waist trapping him as he fucked you through your orgasm. 

Bucky felt his orgasm approaching, he let out a growl from deep in his throat and began roughly slamming his hips into yours, forcing a sharp gasp from you. Your back arched off the bed as your head fell back into the pillows. He made you orgasm again at that moment. 

His eyes were closed, and strands of his wet hair stuck to his face as he slumped on top of you after releasing his cum inside of you. You reclined and gently rubbed your fingertips along his back. The air was thick with the sound of labored breathing and the scent of sex. It was quite filthy.

After some while, he snapped open his eyes and took your hand into his. "Love you so much, you are incredible, beautiful, and insatiable, plus you let me creampie you," he said laughing at his last remarks. You chuckle as you lean in kissing him, gently and nibbling on his soft bottom lip. "I love you too, Bucky, and of course I did, I intended that when I told you I wished for you to fill me up." You both laughed as you enjoyed this blissful moment.

Warnings: Horny dad Bucky, breeding kink, m masturbating, smutty smut with fluffy fluff 

-

Bucky smirked, watching you pad around the kitchen, your hair still messy from the way he’d taken you apart that morning. Nothing was more beautiful than the way you looked right after sex; skin still warm, lips plump, your legs slightly shaky. You had thrown on his boxers and t-shirt, getting breakfast started, another set of little foot steps making their way down the hall.

Bucky looked up from the kitchen island, grinning at the way his son trudged in, his teddy bear tucked under his arm, softly rubbing his eyes. He walked straight to you, tugging on your shirt and holding his arms up, deciding he needed your cuddles first before food.

“Good morning baby bear” You smiled, scooping Jamie into your arms, giving his chubby cheek a kiss. You adored the pouty face he had, exactly like Bucky if you ever woke up him too early.

Calvin Klein - Bucky Barnes x Reader

Bucky Barens x reader. Short story smut!

Both you and Bucky have nightmares, being the only two people on the 32nd floor of Avengers Tower means when the other is having a night terror the only thing to do is to lay there and listen or comfort the other.

>1k words.

@AnnabelVallie on Ao3

My eyes dart open, and a scream comes from the room opposite mine. It's louder than I've heard before. Another one, muffled with cries fully wakes me up. I jump out of bed and yank Bucky's door open. "shh, hey it's okay, you're okay," I try to comfort him but his screams continue. After another scream, he shoots up, panicked. His eyes are bloodshot and frantic. "You're okay, it's okay," I repeat over and over. His breathing slows and he looks down, hiding his eyes. I slide across next to him. His body tenses before relaxing. and with his arms still firmly locked around me, I can feel the harsh thump in his chest slow to a steady beat. Turning to him, our eyes are inches away, like an apple and gravity my lips fall smoothly over his and rub the palm of my hand along his scruffed jaw. 

After a second of stillness where my mind finds itself at the back of my tongue, he gets out of bed and leaves me for the bathroom. The only noise made was water running from the taps. It hurts more than when I bleed. Steadying my feat on the ground in the pitch black I walk to my room, once I'm at my doorway Bucky appears behind me.

He places his hand on my shoulder causing me to turn, the blue of his eyes draws mine like a magnet so I am unable to glance down at his fabric-less skin.  His hand moves to the side of my head and he leans in pressing his mouth against mine. I push back, making our lips dance with each other. I take a step back into my room, taking him with me. My hand tails at his waist and stops at the hem of his shorts. I take a breath and look at him. His face is dark, and certain. I hook my fingers on the drawstring, pulling his lips back to mine. As he sits down on the bed, feeling for the mattress with closed eyes I straddle his hips he moves his head to the crook of my neck, planting kisses along my skin until he gets to the neck of my shirt. I lift it from the hem revealing my chest. His eyes lock on my nipples as his hands latch aggressively fast onto the ballooned curve. I run my finger along Bucky's abs, tracing the defined lines. I lean in kissing his curled lips and run my hands down to the drawstring on his pants. His eyes search mine, looking for a yes. I nod. He pulls down his sweatpants leaving white Calvin Klein underwear. He rolls me over so I'm flat on my back his hands trail to my shorts. As he pulls down mine then his own I stare back at his hips and my eyes glide down as more of his skin is revealed inch by inch He leans over me and our lips dance, letting our tongues intertwine. Reaching down, taking his member in my hand. I run my fingers over it making it grow harder. I guide his dick towards me. Bucky exhales as his tip feels my opening. He holds himself up, aligning and pushes in, a short unexpected moan escapes my lips. I hold on top of his biceps and he continues as I wrap my leg around his waist. The sound of our breathing fills the room. The faster the pace I can feel myself twisting and starving. I move my hands to his neck and we lock eyes. Bucky moves his head down to the crook of his neck and he continues thrusting. His hot breath bushes against my neck. I feel my stomach knot like I had just indulged in a perfectly presented meal I had been craving for a lifetime, and a wave of pleasure as if I had honey poured over covered the both of us. We were stuck comfortably in a sticky, warm, amber feeling.

We lay there wrapped in a blanket, my room lingers with a post-sex smell. Resting my head on his bare chest, we slip back into sleep, sleep where neither of us face the horrors of our minds, sleep where we know we're safe.

Lightning Bug - Chapter 8

Masterlist

Warning: R remembers past trauma with HYDRA 

Word Count: 3.1K

Someone was watching you. You knew that the streets of New York were busy so the odds of someone looking at you busy so the odds of someone were high but you felt the hairs on the back of your neck standing up. You looked across the street and saw them. It was a group of kids from the ice cream shop. You knew them from a community center you used to visit. Michael was the leader of the group. Jack was his second in command and Lindsay and Ray just did what they were told. They made your life a living hell. You looked away from them and walked into Annie’s cafe. “Well, isn’t this a surprise?” She said. There were a few customers but there wasn’t a line at the counter. You walked up to her. “Do I need to fight those superheroes? I’ll do it for you.” You smiled. You knew she would. 

“Everything is fine,” you told her. “I just thought I’d come to say hi since I barely spoke to you.” You sighed. “So can I help with anything?” She smiled. 

“I’m not gonna say no to help. Get back here.” You nodded, walking behind the counter. You said hello to Paul and put on the apron to help with the dishes. When Annie wasn’t dealing with customers, she asked you about living with the Avengers. You told her everything from everyone you met, the things you’ve done, and how you’ve decorated your room. “It seems like you are enjoying it there.” 

“I do,” you confessed. “They are nice and care about me for some reason.” You didn’t understand it. They barely knew you but they accepted you into their family. 

“Maybe because they care about you.” Or maybe it was a pity. No. You had to stop thinking like that. The phone rang and Annie went to answer it. You focused on your task at hand instead of your spiraling mind. “It looks like you have perfect timing,” Annie said, coming back to you. You dried your gloves and took off your apron. “Tony just called in an order and I told him you’ll bring it.” You rolled your eyes. 

“I have to carry all that food back to the tower.” She huffed and put her hands on her hips. 

“No,” she said. “He said he’ll bring you a car.” Fancy. You nodded, putting the dishes away you just cleaned. 

“How long till the food is ready?” You asked. 

“45 minutes.” You heard Paull call out. 

“Can I go visit Lucia and I’ll be back before the food is ready?” 

“Of course, sugar. Go have fun with your books.” You nodded. 

“See you soon then.” You said, taking off toward Lucia’s bookstore. 

*

You loved the smell of Voltea la Pagina. It smelt like home to you, with safety, and peace. The chime of the bell announced your presence. “Mija!” Lucia said, coming out from a shelf. You smiled. “How are you?”

“I’m good, how are you?” Lucia went to sit behind her desk. She looked around to see if anyone was near then she looked back at you. 

“How is living with the Avengers?” You looked at her shocked. Officially, you knew Annie was the only one that knew you were living with the heroes. But with the incident at the bodega and the fact Michael’s crew had seen you with Natasha, rumors were probably flying. “People talk and I listen.”

“What are they saying?” You asked. 

“That you’ve been spotted with the Black Widow. I made an educated guess because you said someone offered you a place to live.” You weren’t sure if you were relieved that only Lucia figured out you were living there or worried that you were becoming the talk of the town. “Tell me all about it. Have you met the Falcon? Is he as dreamy as he looks on the news?” She asked. You laughed at her questions. You answered them but felt a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Something didn’t feel right. 

*

40 minutes later you reentered the Java House. It was busier than the last time you were here. So you sat down at an empty table and waited for Annie to have a free moment. When you became homeless, your life didn’t change. You were still the social outcast, the freak kid no one wanted to play with, and an easy target for bullies; kids, and adults. Michael’s crew found you as easy prey. They stole food you found, went through your backpack, and pushed you around because they knew you wouldn’t fight back. You kept your head down and endured it afraid to fight back. 

The brown bags that were set on the table startled you out of your thoughts. “It looks like your ride is here,” Annie said, whipping the sweat off of her forehead. You looked at the door and saw a middle-aged man standing there. He was wearing a suit and tie. He looked at you and walked over. 

“You must be Y/n,” the man said. “My name is Happy, head of security of STARK Industries.” Your eyebrows pinched together in confusion. Because this man did not look like a security guard. He looked like a giant teddy bear. But his name was Happy?

“Your name is Happy?” You questioned. The man sighed. 

“It’s a nickname. My name is Harold.” 

“Do you like being called Happy?” He shrugged with a frown. 

“I’ve been called worse,” Fair. It wasn’t the worst nickname you’ve heard. “Let’s head back to the tower.” You said your goodbyes to Annie and promised to visit more often. Happy helped you get the bags in the car. “You can sit in the front or back, whatever makes you comfortable.” You nodded. You wanted to sit in the back but you didn’t want to appear as rude so you sat in the passenger seat. You closed the door as Happy got it. As the car turned on, the radio began to play music. “You can change the channel if you want.” 

“I don’t mind,” you said. “I don’t know much about music.” The only music that was allowed at home was gospel music and you didn’t enjoy it. Music was played around you but you didn’t know what was considered good or bad music. Happy nodded. 

“This is Hotel California by the Eagles.” He turned up the song. He let the music fill the silence. You liked the song; it was much better than the music your parents listened to. “You are probably the less annoying passenger Tony has asked me to drive.” You laughed at his blunt comment. You covered your mouth because of your outburst. 

“I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or not.” You admitted. A small smile tugged at Happy’s lips. 

“A compliment.” 

*

You declined Happy’s help to carry the bags upstairs. The first stop was Tony’s lap. You entered the lap and ducked as a piece of metal impaled the wall behind you. “Oh shit. Sorry kid.” Tony said. You looked away from the metal and back at the billionaire. He was standing over his workbench with a man you hadn’t met but read about. Dr. Bruce Banner. The doctor had 7 PhDs. 

“I brought you your order from Annie’s,” you walked over to them. “Unless you want to take my head off again.” You placed the paper bag on the table. Tony laughed. 

“Thanks, kid.” He opened the bag and pulled out two food containers. “Bruce met Y/n, Y/n met Bruce.” The doctor gave you a shy wave. 

“Hi,” you whispered. “I’m gonna go deliver the rest of the food. Don’t kill anyone.” The next stop was Pepper. She was in her office on the phone so you set her food on her desk and waved goodbye. Sam and Rhodey were in a meeting room and thanked you with a smile. You noticed Annie put some extra food and you put the extras in the fridge on your floor. While eating a blueberry muffin, you walked to the library. To your surprise, Vision was sitting next to the window playing chess. 

“Hi,” you said, making your presence known. He looked up from his game. “Can I join you?”

“Of course,” he pointed to the empty seat on the other side of the table. “Or I can take my game somewhere else.” You shook your head, sitting down in front of him. 

“Don’t you need two people to play chess,” you questioned, looking down at the board. He had it set up as if he was playing against someone else. 

“Not necessary,” he started. “Playing chess solo is a great way to improve cognitive skills while increasing creative availability.” You moved your finger against the smallest piece. 

“Can you teach me how to play?” You asked him. He seemed surprised. 

“If you’d like to learn, I'd be more than happy to teach you.” Vision reset the board and began to explain each piece. Each player had 8 pawns, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, one queen, and one king. The goal of the game was to defend the king and take his opponents. The pawns could move forward once, except for their first move where they could move forward two squares. The knights could move in the shape of an ‘L’ and the bishops could move as far as they wanted but only diagonally. Like the bishops, the rooks could move as fast as they wanted but only forward, backward, and to the sides. Even though the king was the most important piece, it was the weakest. The king could only move one square in any direction. Finally, the queen was the most powerful piece. She could move in any direction as far as possible as long as she did not move through any of her pieces. 

Vision took it slow and he was patient as you asked questions when you didn’t understand a move he made. It was a hard game to understand but it was a challenge you enjoyed. You liked hanging out with Vision, it surprised you how easy it was to be around him. There was an unspoken understanding between you and him, you were both trying to figure out your place in the world.  

“Knock, knock,” you looked at the door to see Wanda leaning against the doorway with a smile. 

“Checkmate,” Vision said. You glared at him. 

“That doesn’t count,” you said. “Wanda distracted me.” The witch laughed and walked over to you. 

“I’ve come to steal Vision for a training session. Is that okay?” You nodded. 

“Yeah, I need a break. My head hurts,” you rubbed your forehead. “We should do this again.” Vision smiled.  

“I would like that very much.”

*

Wanda walked silently next to the android as they headed to the training room. She had the unique ability to always know when he was deep in thought. They believed it had to come from the infinity stone that gave her her powers and brought him to life. Today was no different. “Are you okay, Vis?” She asked. The android didn’t answer as he was lost in his thoughts. 

“Is it safe for me to spend time with her alone?” He asked. Wanda stopped him with a gentle touch of her hand. 

“What are you talking about?” She questioned. “You and I both know you wouldn’t hurt anyone.” But the android didn’t seem convinced. There was an incident in training involving him and Rhodey. Everyone forgave him but Vision was having a hard time forgiving himself. 

“She’s special,” Vision finally said. “The stone is curious about her,” he motioned to his forward. “Which makes me curious as well.” He sighed. “It’s confusing and I can’t make heads or tails of it. But I know she’s been hurt and I don’t want to cause her more pain.” Wanda smiled at him. It was incredible to watch him learn more about human emotions. 

“You won’t hurt her, Vis,” she said. “She needs friends to help her.” Vision frowned. 

“Am I her friend?” He asked. 

“Yeah, you are. Don’t overthink it, okay? Not everything is like a game of chess.” 

*  

You kept the game out and stood up to grab a new book to read. “FRIDAY, where are Kate and Yelena?” You asked the AI. 

“Miss. Bishop and Miss. Belova is on the common floor,” you thanked the AI and headed to the lounge area. They were sitting on the couch, facing each other with a deck of cards. 

“Hey bud,” Kate said, looking up from the cards in her hands. “Do you want to play the next round? Yelena is making me play,” The Russian huffed, drawing a card from the pile. 

“Kate Bishop, stop being so dramatic,” you smiled as you sat down. “I thought it would be a good idea for you to play a physical game instead of staring at your IPad.” Kate rolled her eyes. 

“I’m okay. I’ll watch you play while I read,” you told them while you opened your book. As you read, your attention was pulled to the couple next to you. Sometimes it would be Kate’s laugh or Yelena telling Kate that she suspected the archer was cheating. You didn’t mind though. You liked to compare their relationship to Natasha and Wanda’s. Kate and Yelena were more hesitant and reserved to showcase their affection. But they had a more innocent love. With Natasha and Wanda, you knew the couple had been together longer and it showed. They were more confident with physical affection. You enjoyed watching both. But a part of you wondered if you could find something like that. Would someone be able to love all of your scars and your nightmares? You weren’t sure because you barely loved yourself. 

Soon you heard the elevator door open and laughter followed by footsteps. Immediately, you recognized Sam’s voice. You looked over the top of your book. Your blood went cold as you stared at the blue-eyed man with brown hair. The Winter Soldier. What was he doing with the Avengers? You didn’t see anything about him living here. Your time with the man with the metal arm was brief but impactful. He looked different. His arm was missing the red star and it was darker with gold markings. His hair was cut short and his eyes had more light to them. He almost didn’t look like the man you were forced to reset. Your palms tingled as the grip on your book tightened. Anxiety welcomed its place within your bones and bile moved up your throat. The blueberry muffin you ate was turning in your stomach. 

“Hey, Y/n,” the sound of your name forced you away from the man. It was Yelena. You focused on her. You didn’t realize it when you sat down and her hair was braided. Her green eyes were filled with concern. “Are you alright?” 

“Yeah, yeah,” You said. 

“Are you sure?” Kate asked. You looked at the brunette. She had a small scar near her hairline. You wondered where she got it. Did she wonder about yours? “We’ve been talking to you for about 5 minutes.” Oh. Awkward. Your face burned with embarrassment. 

“Sorry,” you mumbled, closing the book. “What were you saying?” Sam laughed. You liked the sound of it. 

“I was introducing you to these two handsome devils.” The blond, who you knew as Captain America, blushed and the Winter Soldier rolled his eyes. “Met Steve and James but we call him Bucky.” 

“It’s nice to meet you,” Steve said. “We’ve heard a lot about you.” 

“Likewise,” you managed to say. The Winter no Bucky raised his hand. You couldn’t help your body’s natural reaction to flinch. He must have seen it because he dropped his hand. “It was very nice to meet you,” you said, standing up. “I’ll see you around.” You walked to the stairs, ignoring the eyes that followed you. You went into your room and closed the door behind you. You leaned against the door and released the energy. You felt the pain as you bit down on your tongue. The muscles in your arms tensed up. Soon the feeling went away and your head began to pound. 

“Miss. Y/n, you seem to be in a state of distress. Should I notify the medical team?” You could taste the metallicity of your blood. 

“No need FRIDAY,” you whispered. Your head was pounding. It wasn’t good that this was happening so frequently. You’d need to start meditating again. 

“I am going to alert Miss. Romanoff and Miss. Maximoff that you require assistance,” The AI said. You groaned, burying your face into the pillow. 

“I’m fine,” you mumbled. “I just had a panic attack.” You told FRIDAY as darkness took over your vision. 

*

“Was it something I said?” Bucky asked. Yelena sighed. When she looked into her blue eyes, the Black Widow saw fear. There was so much fear in her eyes when she looked at Bucky. Sam put his hand on Bucky’s shoulder. 

“It’s not you, man,” he said. “She’s just..” He trailed off, not able to find a word to best describe the young girl. 

“She’s healing,” Kate filled in the blank. Steve sat down on the couch, putting one leg over the other. 

“We believe her parents died in a house fire and her brother moved to California,” Yelena told them. “She won’t talk about what happened to her.” Yelena knew she had opened up to her sister and Wanda but they didn’t share what she said out of respect. Yelena looked at Bucky. Alone with fear she also saw recognition. Y/n knew Bucky or the man Bucky was. “Do you know her?” She asked. The super soldier looked confused as he sat down next to his boyfriend. It was a heavy question as Bucky was still healing from the effects of HYDRA and that came with remembering everything he did as the Winter Soldier. 

“I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think so. Was she with HYDRA?” 

“Wanda thinks she was. She can’t access her mind like ours,” Kate said. “There is a block similar to yours.” Bucky looked down at his metal hand, squeezing his hand into a fist. 

“If I met I don’t remember her.” He whispered. 

“Shit,” Sam said, crossing his arms against his chest. “This tower seems to attract HYDRA’s puppets.” Bucky picked up a throw pillow and threw it at him. Yelena smiled at the interaction but she was worried. The young girl knew Bucky and Yelena could only imagine what the pair went through.

29. supernova by @whitestarbucky

Bucky x Widow!Reader

A supernova happens where there is a change in the core, or center, of a star. As the star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core. Eventually, the core is so heavy that it cannot withstand its own gravitational force. The core collapses, which results in the giant explosion of a supernova. Bucky never thought he could witness this beautiful tragedy in his lifetime. Until he met you.

Epiphany

Summary: Fury sends you back in time on a mission. How will you handle seeing Steve and Bucky in the 40s?

Word Count: 4717

Warnings: nothing big, some angst, strong language, time travel

a/n: I don't really know what this is, but it's happened. It's pretty Bucky x reader heavy, but technically a Stucky x reader fic. Pls ignore any typos, I hand wrote this and then transferred it and it was a mess. Apple's new feature of copying text from a photo is not the most accurate (at least for handwritten stuff)

Masterlist

"What's the mission?" you questioned Maria while jogging slightly to keep up with her. "And why me?"'

"Fury's orders," she answered in her familiar no nonsense tone. She handed you a file folder, briefly describing the mission as she lead you to Fury. “You need to retrieve a file."

You furrowed your brow as you read through the file. “From the U.S. Army? I thought Fury on good terms with the government. Why not just ask for the file?"

"It was destroyed.” Her words left you more confused.

"Am I hacking?” You took a guess as to how you were meant to recover a destroyed file. If you were being honest, the idea of Fury specifically choosing you for a hacking mission made absolutely no sense. Luckily the man himself was finally in front of you to explain.

"Not a lot of hacking in the 40s.” Fury and Maria watched as you looked up from the file, realizing where you are. You looked between them, the file in your hand, and the time machine in front of you.

“No fucking way,” you mumbled. “Tony actually did it?"

Fury simply glared at you, leaving Maria to explain.

"Scott helped. Sort of- he supplied the idea. Either way, it's been tested and you're good to go.” She moved on to talking you through the mechanics of the time suit and the Pym particle discs. As she spoke, she had someone do your hair and makeup. By the time she finished explaining the items in your shrunken emergency kit, you were ready to regroup in the morning. Fury, however, had a different plan.

“Ready to go?” You knew it wasn't really a question, but you still answered

“Now?” When he once again only glared at you, you knew you didn't really here a choice in the matter if you wanted to remain employed. "Uh, okay. Let me just say goodbye to Steve and Bucky."

Before you could leave, Maria was handing you clothes to change into while Fury interrupted your protests.

"No time. Need this file ASAP."

"No time? What- it's time travel? I'll be back as soon as I leave."

"Doesn't matter. You have to leave now." You managed to fit the time suit on over your 40s agent uniform, but your confusion remained.

"Why me?" You asked one last question as Maria selected your arrival date.

"Because, you’ve got Barnes and Rogers wrapped around your finger. No reason you can't do it in the 40s too."

"What the-“

And you were gone. Just in time too since Steve and Bucky walked through the door just after you disappeared.

"Where's Y/N?” Steve asked, him and Bucky both looked around the room. “Friday said she was here.”

“She was. She just left for a mission.” Maria filled them in when Fury didn't answer.

"She left?” Bucky glanced at Steve, matching expressions of confusion on their faces. The three of you agreed to always say goodbye before leaving for a mission, just in case anything went wrong. "For what mission?"

Fury tossed the file to them before speaking. "There was no time for goodbyes.”

"'You sent her to the 40s? How long could she possibly have had to prepare for that?" Steve seethed. Bucky was just as angry, glaring at Fury when he looked up from the file. Fury cut in, already knowing they were going to whine about it.

"She knows everything she needs to know, Rogers. You’re both welcome to wait for her to come back. Should be about five seconds.”

Both super soldiers rolled their eyes, anxiously turning to wait for your return.

-

“- fuck does that mean?" you stumbled as you landed on unfamiliar ground. Glancing around, you definitely recognized the camp you were in. How could you not when Steve and a Bucky have spent hours upon hours talking to you about their time in the war. You took a few deep breaths, staring up at the sky in an effort to calm down.

Once you were calmer, you quickly got to work. Thanks to Maria, your hair, makeup, and clothes were perfect, so you just needed to remove and shrink the time suit to truly blend in. Once you had it safely hidden, you began the trek through the tents, looking for somewhere they might store top secret files.

“I swear to god, when I get back I'm gonna kill him, screw this job, screw SHIELD. I don't care anymore,” you grumbled under your breath as you tried to hike through the mud in the standard issue heels.

"He's dead. Stupid, mother fucking-”

"Murder probably isn’t best planned out loud.” A familiar voice spoke up from behind you, causing you to jump. Your eyes widened when your suspicions were confirmed.

"You're lucky Steve didn’t hear. He doesn't like that kind of language.” You were so busy silently cursing Fury in your head that you didn't realize you were staring until Bucky spoke up again.

"What's your name, doll?" he smirked, enjoying your flustered state. It seems Steve wasn’t exaggerating Bucky's flirty behavior when he told stories about the 40s.

"Agent L/N,” you stated firmly, rolling your eyes at Bucky's flirty smile. Another soldier came up to you two as you introduced yourself.

"Agent, huh? First Carter, how you. They must be desperate," he laughed at his own poor attempt at a joke.

"You've heard about Peggy's jab, Seaver. I wouldn’t underestimate the women,” Bucky warned him, but it did nothing to deter his attitude.

“Yeah right. You think I can't beat a girl?" Seaver goaded you. Maybe this is how you can prove yoursest to stick around the top tier while looking for the file.

“I could use the practice,” you held up your fists in a loose defensive position. “Take your best shot." You weren't surprised when he immediately started shaking his head.

'"I can’t hit a girl for no reason.”

“You’ve got a reason- training. Unless you’re scared you’re going to lose.” You knew he would take the bait, especially with someone watching. You had garnered a small crowd while you waited for the soldier to decide. You glanced at the familiar faces, recognizing the likes of Dum Dum Dugan and Jim Morita from pictures you've seen. You had just managed to catch sight of Steve when movement to your left caught your eye. Of course he would attack when you weren’t looking.

Still, you easily dodged his swing, stepping aside just in time to avoid a punch to the gut. The crowd started cheering. With each of his swings came a swift block on your part. You parried each hit, holding off on going on the offensive while Seaver never let up. It was fun to watch him grow more agitated with each miss. You caught Bucky's eye a few times, his smirk matching your own. It was nice to see him enjoying himself, but it also reminded you of what was coming.

The momentary slip in your focus allowed Seaver to connect a punch, his fist briefly connecting with your jaw. The crowd quickly silenced from the shock of seeing you hit.

Unfortunately for Seaver, he was throwing combos. His momentum carried him through his next swing, allowing you to grab his arm, twist it, and throw him to the ground. Your winner's high didn't last long, however. The clearing of a throat behind you immediately quieted the hoots and hollers of the soldiers surrounding you. You yourself stiffened, recognizing the voice despite not actually hearing any words.

You shook off the memory of the last time you saw Steve, doing your best to remember he wasn't currently in love with you. In fact, you had to remember he was currently in love with Peggy. You pushed through the ache that thought left behind, offering a hand to Seaver. Thankfully, he allowed you to help him up. He surprised you by nodding his approval at your skills.

''Well done. I guess Barnes was right. Never underestimate a woman.” You had to hold back a laugh when the idea of any of these men fighting Nat crossed your mind.

''Thanks. And I won't underestimate your left hook,” you laughed with him, rubbing the ache in your jaw.

"What is going on here." Steve spoke up, his Captain voice fully present.

“Sorry, Captain.” You held your hand out for introductions. "Agent L/N, reporting for duty.”

He shook your hand, glaring slightly. "Do you often show up for work and start fights?" Once again, you had to hold back your laughter. Steve lecturing you on starting a fight was truly comical.

“Of course not! We were just training, Sergeant Barnes oversaw everything.” You winked at Bucky, just out of Steve's view. Bucky chuckled at your explanation, but agreed nonetheless.

''Yeah, Steve. She wanted a jump on training. Now, let's get the gal some ice.” Bucky lead you to the first aid tent, Steve grumbling as he followed behind. Bucky went above and beyond for your ice pack, even offering to hold it for you.

"I think I'll manage,” you laughed. He pouted. Steve watched.

"Why are you here?" Steve wasted no time jumping into the interrogation, earning a glare from Bucky.

"Captain Wilson from the 111th sent me. We caught wind that Zola would be on a train travelling through Hydra Valley. Wilson didn’t want to risk the message being intercepted, so he had me deliver it,” you easily recited the lie Maria fed you. You knew it was information they already had, but it was meant to help them trust you.

"'We found out about the train yesterday. The mission's in three days." Steve replied, his no nonsense attitude remaining.

“Oh! That's good. If you boys don't need any help, I'll make my way back to Captain Wilson." Bucky and Steve seemed to be having a silent conversation in regards to if you could stay. You hoped Bucky would convince Steve, but it wouldn’t be hard to sneak in and copy the file while everyone was focused on the train mission.

"We could definitely use the help, doll." Bucky's voice broke you out of your thoughts of breaking and entering. One look at Steve told you he disagreed, but the sound of the tent opening cut you off from commenting.

"I heard we had another woman amongst us." Peggy beamed when she looked at Steve, but you could tell she was wary of your surprise appearance. "Just had to see for myself. Peggy Carter.” She held her hand out for you, seemingly nodding in approval of your strong grip.

“F/N L/N. A pleasure to meet you Agent Carter.” It wasn't a lie. You did look up to Peggy. She was a trailblazer for women in intelligence, and despite Hydra infiltrating it, SHIELD has done a lot to keep civilians safe.

"Just Peggy, darling. Will you be staying?” The question was more so geared toward Steve and Bucky than yourself, but you weren't surprised. It paid to be cautious of strangers.

"Then just F/N for me as well. I'll be staying if I'm needed.”

"She will be.” Bucky chimed in wearing a mischievous grin. “F/N here is going to help us plan our train mission.”

"That's Agent to you, Sergeant. I don't know you well enough for first names,” you winked.

Bucky pouted at your remark, but Steve chuckled. It definitely felt good to be winning him over, but it only made it harder to pretend you weren't madly in love with him.

"Let's change that. Go with me to the dance they're having to boost morale.” Bucky once again interrupted your thoughts.

“When is it?” you questioned, pondering the best way out of this. Yes you're technically dating Bucky, but not this Bucky. It felt wrong.

“Tomorrow night.”

"Well, it looks like you've got a day to convince me,” you teased. From the glint in his eye, you could easily tell he was up for the challenge.

-

And up for it he was. Any time you weren't actively strategizing, Bucky was right beside you. He started by telling you about himself, his parents, his sisters, what it was like living in Brooklyn, and saving Steve from countless fights. It wasn’t anything you didn't already know, but 40s Bucky talked about it so differently. You found yourself easily captivated by the lack of melancholy spirit surrounding a life lost.

Of course, he didn't give it all away for free. In return you found yourself answering his questions about your life, tweaking things sightly to fit more with the times. Before you knew it, Peggy was asking you to join her in order to get ready for the dance.

"So, what do say, doll? Save me a dance?” Bucky’s grin was almost shy, a certain nervousness coming of him. How cold you say no to that face?

“I suppose I can handle one dance,” you called over your shoulder. Buck's smile filled you with so much happiness, you almost forgot you were only there for a mission. A stark reminder came in the form of the exact file you were there to retrieve being held right in front of you.

Colonel Phillips stopped the pair of you to ask Peggy a few questions., and he was holding the file you needed. You were so zoned out, Peggy had to call your name a few times before you registered she was talking to you.

“F/N? Are you okay?” Peggy's concern for your wellbeing was sweet, but you had no idea how to answer her.

"Yes. it's just…”

"Barnes?" she guessed. You nodded. "He might be a flirt, but he's a good man. Steve wouldn't settle for less.” If only you could tell her just how right she was.

"You’re right. I'm worried for nothing,” you replied. Shaking your head, you refocused on getting ready for the dance. You managed to copy Peggy’s makeup style, doing your best to blend in with the current trends. In no time at all, you were heading to meet Bucky and Steve. It almost felt like a typical date for you three, but with the addition of another woman. It gave you a newfound respect for Steve and Bucky being able to share your time without getting jealous. Granted, the three of you all loved each other so that’s a different story…

“Wow," Stere's eyes flickered between you and Peggy. “You both look amazing.”

"'Making a move in my date, jerk?" Bucky offered you his arm, smirking when Steve stuttered.

"Oh, leave him alone,” you chastised. "We do look great.”

"That we do. You boys look quite dapper yourselves." Peggy chimed in, earning a hum of approval from you.

Soon enough you found yourself on the dancefloor with Bucky, twisting, turning, and waltzing around the makeshift space. He continued telling you about himself, smiling ear to ear every time he made you laugh.

"'You keep looking at Steve.” Bucky surprised you with his statement.

"What?" Had you really kept glancing at Steve and not noticed?

“It's okay. I get it. He's Captain America, not some broken prisoner of war. I must admit it’s taken some getting used to, all the dames being interested in him. He’s only got eyes for Peggy though.” You teared up as he spoke, recognizing the self doubt.

“Do you want to go for a walk?" you pleaded with him. He looked startled, but nonetheless, he nodded. You took his arm again, allowing him to choose the path.

"Steve reminds me of someone. That's why I kept looking at him,” you spoke up once you felt like you were far enough away from the crowd. You could tell he was going to ask who, so you kept going. “And you're not broken.”

“F/N, the things they did to me.. I'm not myself anymore.” Bucky refused to make eye contact until you stopped walking so you could torn his head toward you.

"Bucky, no matter what they did and no matter what happens, you deserve the world. You deserve to be happy, any any girl would be lucky to have you."

To your utter surprise, he didn't immediately disagree. Instead, he slowly leaned in, pressing a barely there kiss against your lips. He stayed close to you as he whispered. "Thank you. I know we only met yesterday, but it feels like I've known you for so much longer.”

"Me too." Of course, you have known him for longer, but you can't exactly tell him that. Instead you walked hand in hand until you reached a small bench overlooking the mountains. A town in the distance started setting off fireworks. The view was breathtaking, but the sounds put you on edge. How would Bucky react?

"Can I sing you something?” you blurted. Your eyes went wide when you realized that might be odd. "It's something my mom used to sing to my dad when he was remembering the first war.” The story was completely made up, and the song wouldn't be released for another 80ish years, but he didn’t know that. He smiled at your rambling, eventually nodding his head.

"Sure, doll.”

You have sung for Bucky many times, often it was one of the only things that could calm him down after a nightmare. Still, you felt nervous under his watchful gaze.

“Keep your helmet. Keep your life son. Just a flesh wound. Here's your rifle." You could hear someone approaching, but Bucky looked too peaceful for you to stop.

"Crawling up the beaches now. Sir, I think he's bleeding out. And somethings you just can't speak about.” Steve came into your peripheral vision, but you kept going.

"With you, I serve. With you I fall down, down. Watch you breathin', watch you breathin' out, out. Only twenty minutes to sleep, but you dream of some epiphany.” You hummed a bit more, noticing Steve slowly slip away. Neither of you spoke again, simply enjoying each other's company until he deemed it late enough to walk you back to your barracks.

After kissed you goodnight, you were thankful for Peggy's presence in your shared room. The only thing holding you together was the knowledge that you wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

-

The next day flew by. Everyone, yourself included, was so busy strategizing for the next day's mission, you had no time to discuss the events of the previous night. Before you knew it, Bucky was once again kissing you goodnight and you were falling asleep.

The team had to be up and out early the next morning, but you and Peggy made sure you were up in time to say goodbye. Peggy was in the corner saying goodbye to Steve when Bucky found you.

"Don't miss me too much, doll,” he smirked. You loved seeing him so happy, but pretending you didn’t know what was about to happen was single handedly the most painful thing you’ve ever had to do.

"And feed your ego? Wouldn’t dream of it.” You smiled softly when Bucky pressed a chaste kiss to your forehead.

"I'll be back before you know it.” With that, they were gone. You watched until the truck faded from view. Once again, knowing you weren't alone was the only thing holding you together.

"The first time is the hardest,” Peggy spoke up from behind you. “But they've always come back.”

You managed a smile in return, not trusting your voice to come out even.

"Why don't you help me plan our next few missions? It'll help take your mind off worrying.”

“Sounds great, Peggy. Let's go.”

-

Thankfully, Peggy left you alone long enough to copy the file. A part of you wanted to leave then and there, but the bigger part wanted to help Steve through it.

Around 7 pm, you received word that Captain America had returned. You put on the best smile you could and pretended to be just as excited as Peggy when you followed her outside. You only managed to catch a glimpse of Zola before Steve had him locked up.

You could see the pain in his eyes before he had even fully turned to you. To be fair, you were expecting it. Still, the tears you’d been holding back slowly began fall. You cried for what Bucky was about to go through. You cried for Steve, who just lost his best friend. And you cried for yourself, because it’s hard to know what to feel when you’re told one of the men you love died, but you know you’ll see him again as soon as the mission is over.

Your tears fell like a gentle stream until you decided you needed a drink. It was still too new for you to try comforting Steve. You were hopeful he would find himself at the bar, so you ordered a drink and waited.

You were nursing your second beverage when Steve showed up. He ordered his drink, swirling it around in its glass before he met your eye.

'"It doesn't help me.” His vague statement was accompanied by a subtle nod toward his glass. Of course, you already knew what he meant. “Serum made it so I can’t get drunk.”

“I don't think it really helps any of us.” You stared at your own drink as you spoke. Steve merely hummed in agreement. The silence took over until you blurted, "It wasn't your fault.”

“You don't even know what happened.” He threw back his drink before practically stomping from the room. Naturally, you followed suit. You needed to jog a bit to keep up with him, nearly out of breath when he finally came to a stop. He fell onto the small bench where he’d seen you with Bucky.

“I don't need to know what happened to know you did everything you could. I don't need to know what happened to know Bucky wouldn’t blame you. I already know he wouldn’t want you blaming yourself.” You let him think about your words, anticipating a response. When none came, you started to back away. “I'm leaving in the morning. Wilson will be glad to hear you got Zola. I hope you can forgive yourself, Steve.” Just before you turned to leave, he spoke up.

“I heard you,” he whispered. "The night of the dance, I went to check on him because of the fireworks. “Loud noises had been bothering him ever since the rescue.” Steve ran a hand through his hair, trying to find the best words. “He looked so calm sitting here with you. How’d you know that would work?”

"I know some people who suffered through war. It helped them to have something else to focus on when things got rough,” you shrugged, thankful you’d already been expecting his question.

“Would you- would you sing it for me?” You had never seen Steve quite so vulnerable before. He sounded so broken, so lost. So, you sat down next to him and sang.

"With you, I serve. With you I fall down, down. Watch you breathin', watch you breathin' out, out. Only twenty minutes to steep, but you dream of some epiphany. Just one single glimpse of relief, to make some sense of what you’ve seen.”

A few tears slipped down his cheeks as you continued humming. Just like with Bucky, the two of you didn’t say anything else, simply enjoying the silence together. That is, until Steve abruptly stood up. He held his arm out for you, an offer to walk you back to your barracks falling from his lips. It wasn’t until halfway through the walk that he said anything else

"I'm glad he got to know you, even if it was only three days. I haven’t seen him that happy since before the war.” He didn't look at you while he spoke, but you knew it was genuine.

"I'm glad too. He's one of the best people I've ever met." Steve shared a smile with you, a blush blossoming on his face when you leaned up to kiss his cheek. "Thank you, Steve. Peggy is one lucky lady.” You were pretty confident in that statement given your own experience as the recipient of his affection. “Goodnight, Captain.”

"Goodnight, F/N.” Steve whispered after you shut the door, the blush present for his entire walk back to his own bunk.

You said goodbye to Peggy before bed, using an early transpo as in excuse to leave in the middle of the night. Maybe they'd figure out your lies, maybe not. You just couldn’t spend another second without your boys. After one final look around, you pushed the button on the no-longer-shrunken time suit, firing yourself through time once more.

-

"What's taking so long?" Bucky had waited five full seconds before questioning Fury and Maria. Luckily for them, just as he finished talking, you appeared in the middle of the platform. You immediately tossed Maria the thumb drive with the digital copy of the file, promptly breaking into tears the second she and Fury left the room.

Steve and Bucky were at your side in an instant, various questions of what was wrong and how they could help being spewed in your direction. You didn't have it in you to respond right away. Instead you held them as close as you could manage, simply enjoying being able to hold them. After a few minutes, you managed to calm down enough to speak.

"I'm so sorry,” you desperately apologized, every moment you could have intervened to save them passing though your mind. You gripped Bucky's face in your hands, needing to see for yourself that he was indeed alive.

"You fell from the train, and Steve was so sad, and I couldn't help either of you, and-”

"Hey, hey! Steve interrupted you while Bury gathered you in his arms. "You did help us.”

"What? I - I did? But you-”

"We wouldn't change a thing about the 40s because it lend us here. Back to you.” Bucky whispered from behind you. “Sitting on that bench with you, when you offered to sing to me because you knew I didn't react well to loud noises... just spending three days with you reminded me that there was something to live for.” Bucky felt like a weight had been lifted now that he could finally explain just how involved you were in his recovery.

"And when I was blaming myself, and spiraling because I had no one left, you gave me hope. I had just lost my best friend, and you made me still feel connected to him when you sang that song.”

You were utterly shocked to learn that they both remembered you. In the grand scheme of a war, three days is no time at all.

"You remember all that?” you choked out the words, still feeling slightly overwhelmed.

"It was hard to believe at first, but of course we do.” Steve wiped a stray tear from your cheek.

"Could never forget you, doll” Bucky whispered into the skin of your neck, successfully lightening the mood by ticking you with his stubble. “Just needed you to live it.”

"So you both already knew me?” you asked, completely stunned. They'd been keeping this secret for years, and you barely made it three days. You suddenly gasped, a realization hitting you. "Is that why you were so excited when Taylor Swift released folklore?” They both sheepishly nodded.

“You had the album on repeat for a week. Hearing you sing epiphany after so many years... it was a big moment for us.” Steve supplied their reasoning.

"We love everything you sing, but that one is special." Bucky affirmed.

"Wow" you stated, mouth slightly agape. "I can't believe the two of you got to know that sang 80 years before me.”

The two men shook their heads, unsurprised that you would focus on that detail. They were just glad you came back to them.

"What do you say we take a bath, and you can ask us all the questions I know you're thinking about.” Bucky suggested, eager to talk about everything now that it wasn’t a secret. You nodded, squealing when Steve picked you up and carried you to your room.

They were right. Everything that happened lead you to this moment, and there’s nowhere else you rather be.

Full Masterpage | Part 6

STEVE was the one who tightened your velcro backpack around your small shoulders.

You continued to stare into the rising sun behind the blowing trees. It must’ve been a little after 5 AM, since the orange clouds were beginning to mix in with the dark blue of a new sky, announcing the arrival of a brand new day.

Today was the first day of your mission with Bucky, and to say you were fixated on your ultimate goal was an understatement.

The camp didn’t have a running shower, but they had a secluded and private area off to the side that provided warm water and some soap made with lye and lard. The water had to be heated up overnight by an attended fire and then left for an hour before you had to get ready to let it cool down.

When one of the girls had handed you the freshly made bar, the look she gave you scared you.

She had a certain fear in them that you couldn’t quite place and it shook you to the bone.

Was she unhopeful for your return?

When you had entered the little shower, which was just four pieces of wood tall enough to cover your most intimate areas, and you dunked your mud cup into the warm water, you definitely felt like you were being prepared like a sacrificial lamb.

You felt like you were being cleansed and prepared for death.

But as you rinsed away the lye off your skin, and you shuddered against the cold winter air which was beginning to feel like sharp knives, you quickly shoved those thoughts away.

You had to focus on your goal and what it was you were actually being prepared for. This was your opportunity to give your parents what they deserve; the outcome they would want.

After your shower, you quickly dried yourself off with a long and grey rag that had been draped over the “door” for you, and you slid your arms into your heavy coat.

Quickly, to avoid getting the flu that could potentially kill you faster than any other virus ever could, you ran into your tent and slid on your attire.

It was the same one you had worn before you arrived, but Jessica had been extremely kind to you and had it washed and folded stacked neatly next to your cot.

After you zipped on your boots, Steve had shown up and ran the information with you before your departure.

None of you knew exactly how life in The Capitol was.

There had been just one agent who had ever been close enough, and it had been about a year ago.

Bucky had sent Sharon to collect information that would be vital to help their mission, including how the people in The Capitol dressed, how they wore their hair, how they behaved, and if they used any kind of special currency.

Apparently, the clothing they wore, you would have to buy when you got there. It would be possible for the camp to try and knit them so that when you arrived you would fit in right away, but unfortunately, it would not protect you during the three-day walk to get there.

There was nothing different regarding hair or currency, which was a very helpful piece to learn. It meant you and Bucky would not need to go under any crazy makeovers.

Any specific makeup look or hairdo you preferred, you were free to do as you pleased when you arrived.

The only tricky part of getting into The Capitol and not being caught was your identification.

Anyone who resided within The Wall carried a hologram ID that presented your picture, name, resident number, and occupation.

If there was anything Tony Stark left behind, it was his knowledge and technology that had been left behind and protected.

You don’t know how they managed to save nearly all of it from the war and the bombing, but you didn’t ask questions. It didn’t surprise you that the avengers would go through such measures to have a legacy and vital equipment protected.

It had been just enough for Bruce to take it into his own hands and build an almost identical replica of the hologram ID that you and Bucky would need to present in order to do simple tasks like request a hotel room or enter an important building.

You didn’t take Bruces’ hard work for granted; apparently it had taken almost a year and a half just for him to make them.

It would still be a risk when you used your identification because even though your resident number was chosen with an advanced Linux method if it were to hit a miss in Hydra’s system, you and Bucky could be screwed.

Your arrival in the city would simply be accepted by luck.

Steve continued to tighten your backpack as he reminded you of what would happen when you and Bucky both arrived there.

First and utmost important, you would need to find a place to live. According to Sharon, there was a residency area not too far from the center of the city. You would go there and try to get a room.

Next, you and Bucky would need to discover your surroundings.

What was Hydra doing there? Where is Hydra’s main building? Were there anyone there that could possibly be there against their will? How did The Capitol work? What was life there like?

You would then need to set up your false identity, which would be the majority of the mission.

Once you both found where Hydra’s main focus was and from where they worked, you would need to find your way in. You would need to gather as much intel and information about everyone as much as you could.

That is when the team had presented you with an additional ID card, except this one was physical and just a regular white laminated card.

It was a resumé and well thought out employment card, which you and Bucky would use to apply at a Hydra Facility (but not the same one to not induce suspicion). This was an important key to the mission that both you and Bucky were reluctant on participating on, but after much consideration, it was concluded it was essential to winning this.

After you found out everything you both needed to know, after the six months, you would both escape and return to camp with the intel and information gathered that could successfully bring The Capitol’s society down.

One of them being the ring leader’s location. It would be important to the mission to not have anything destroyed, especially The Wall.

This was the part of the mission you did not like.

Because you would not leave The Capitol without having that man from the diner killed.

Part of you felt bad for secretly planning how to divert the avenger’s plan, but at the same time, you now knew that Bucky was also planning something that could potentially shock everyone.

You considered saying something to Steve as he made sure you had everything in your pack - food, blankets, med kit, and a gun with a silencer (the only thing you were allowed) - but you went against it as you remembered your promise to him.

He wanted you to help Bucky love himself again and to feel like he was meant for something more.

As you both walked out of the tent and fully into the outside world, right away you saw Bucky already strapping his own bag over his shoulder.

You know his bag held the same things yours did, except his held a military gun that would serve to protect you during the walk.

Unfortunately, you would not be allowed to take any weapons with you into the city. They would be left dug into a hole and abandoned.

Your heart skipped in your chest as you observed his dominating aura.

He wore attire similar to yours, except a male version. He had a black coat with a hood that strapped across the front of his chest. Attached to it was a hood similar to yours. You could tell he had layers of clothing under his jacket for protection, and his pants were thick and tucked into heavy boots.

A pair of leather gloves covered his hands. He was tightening the one over his metal arm when he looked over at you.

His eyes were dark and his teeth clenched as he looked you up and down. You quickly looked away and back at Steve.

Steve was tightening your tracker around your wrist.

“Remember, this will only keep you off their radar for ninety seconds and it can only be activated twice. You can only use it when you enter and leave the city,” you were in a daze as you felt the need to look up at Bucky again. The pull was inevitable, “Y/N,” Steve’s tone was sturdy and you blinked at him, “Got it?”

He looked at you apprehensively, his grip tight over your hand. You swallowed thickly and nodded.

“Got it. Just twice. Entering and leaving.”

He nodded and pulled the sleeves of your coat halfway up both hands.

He gave you one more look and then nodded with his head towards Bucky, backing away from you, and walking towards Bucky’s direction.

You flexed your toes in your boots and held tightly onto the handles of your bag.

You took a deep breath and followed Steve towards Bucky.

Bucky looked at his boots and flexed his hands.

You didn’t realize how much bigger he was than you until now. Maybe it was his clothing, maybe.

You cleared your throat and he looked up at you through heavy lashes.

You wondered where he had been this morning while you were showering. It’s then that you catch sight of his heavy and dark bags under his eyes. Had he been up all night?

“Didn’t sleep?” Your question comes out before you mean it to and Bucky’s gaze quickly darkens.

“No.”

You sigh deeply, not knowing if you were more annoyed by his attitude towards you that clearly hadn’t changed or if you felt bad. You hoped his lack of sleep wouldn’t create more crankiness or mess-ups.

“Unlike you, I don’t need it.” He adds. He looks up towards the sky, making his sharp jaw visible to you and you curse the world for making him so attractive. You wondered then what kind of boyfriend he was to Daisy. And you wonder about the rumor of him and the Wakanda girl. Did he sleep with her? Was he good? Your questions in your head are interrupted as he continues, “We should get going. The sun is getting brighter and we can’t afford to lose one more day.”

Steve looked at you both like you were his two children going off to their first day of college and then he saluted you both goodbye.

Not one word was shared as you followed Bucky into the woods until what felt like three hours later.

The entire way, he hadn’t been kind enough to slow down for you, so you trailed behind him by at least fifteen feet.

You didn’t want to admit to defeat, but your lungs were burning and your legs were too. It wasn’t until he briefly stopped that you thanked the heavens.

As you caught up to his side, you saw what he had paused to look at.

There in front of you was an entire city. It was destroyed, defeated, and reeking of death and evil.

The broken and sharp metal of what had once been pretty buildings were now pointed into the sky. Heavy dust with lingering smoke, that had never gone away, still floated above the city like a dark halo.

You swallowed painfully, thirsty, and afraid.

Sure, he was an avenger, but the bacteria...

You looked at him, unsure.

“Bucky, we can’t go through the city. We have to stay on the outskirts,” he ignored you, taking a step forward and commencing his walk towards the city. You watched, unmoved, “It’s too dangerous, Bucky, we don’t know what is in that air—” You finally sighed and ran up to him, pulling on the sleeve of  his coat, “Bucky—“

He quickly snapped around to look at you, “We are going through the city. You think I came all this way for safety? You think I care? You think I’m some kind of coward? That we’ll just be taking the easy way out for everything? Or do you actually have any courageous and strong bone in that pathetic body of yours?” His words attack your ego and you practically flinch at the last question, slowly letting go of his sleeve. He’s breathing hard through his nose and you watch as he runs a hand over his face. He points back with his metal arm, “It’s the quickest route. We’re on atimed schedule. I don’t have time for safety or convenience. I’ll go alone if that’s what it takes. Come with me or not.”

He doesn’t bother giving you another glance before commencing his walk into the destroyed city.  You practically hear the howl of the wind and you pull the hood higher over your head.

You consider his words. You were trying to be safer, but he was right. This would be the quickest way and it wasn’t like you weren’t at least partially prepared for this.

You took a deep breath and followed him.

Bucky wouldn’t admit it, but he was momentarily shocked when he saw you right next to him.

He took the first step into the pavement, a dry leaf crunch under his boot. The sound echoed in the air.

You were both faced with what once was the main road, fallen traffic lights and power lines lined the street.

Cars were overturned, some destroyed completely either by fire or vandalism. The buildings, if they weren’t destroyed, were broken into and also vandalized. Overgrown shrubs were beginning to grow over the street signs and into the cracks of the sidewalk.

It was also terrifying how quiet it was.

You didn’t trust it.

It was obvious Bucky was reluctant just as much as you because his pace matched yours, and at some point, he had even pulled out his gun.

Your eyes darted around as you passed the empty cars and buses. One of the cars even had what appeared to be kids' toys - a stuffed teddy bear and a baby mirror - and you shuddered looking away, not wanting to know what happened here.

Bucky’s gun followed his eyes and immediately you wondered how long its been that he’s left camp.

“How long has it been since you’ve been outside like this?” You ask.

He’s quiet as you both step over a fallen street sign that advertised some kind of clothing brand, and you take his silence as an answer, giving up.

“A while.”

You’re surprised that he responded and your eyebrows shoot up.

You wait a minute and take another bite.

“Not used to it anymore, huh?” He doesn’t respond, “I can tell.”

“Is this your idea of small talk?” He snaps.

“I’m just trying to make conversation. I’m stuck with you for the next six months, might as well.”

“No. I’m stuck with you.”

You have to force yourself not to roll your eyes. Your joyous walk continues for a few more miles until you both turn onto a street where a train now lies.

You both stare at it, confused and surprised, wondering how the hell it got there. But judging by the entry holes on the buildings on either side, it was obvious that it had probably been thrown by means of an explosion of some sort.

And you would both have to somehow get around it.

As you approached the train car, you and Bucky came to a halt.

“I’ll go first since I’m heavier. Make sure it doesn’t topple over or isn’t booty-trapped.” Bucky says, tightening his bag strap over his body, “Stand back.”

You did as you were told and watched from a small distance as he began to climb into one of the cars which had its doors still open. Some bodies that had been reduced to skeletons were still inside.

You held tightly onto the straps of your backpack, apprehensively.

Eventually, Bucky had hopped out on to the other side with a huff.

He turned to face you.

“Your turn.”

You took a deep breath and a step forward, the leaves and glass debris breaking under your feet.

Your eyes met, and once again it was like that first time he saw you in the tent.

You looked down at the cart cautiously before stepping onto it. You clenched and unclenched your right hand, and with your left, you used it to help hoist yourself onto the train.

It rocked beneath your weight with a heavy groan and your eyes shot up to his in fear.

He leaned his right arm on the side of the car for support, and with his left, he stretched it out for you to take.

You look down to where he stood on the ground, and you swallowed, scared at how far the jump looked.

He wiggled his fingers and you were about to stretch your own arm out to take his hand when you saw something move behind him.

A man.

“Oh, my God.”

It was too fast for you to even recollect what happened, but suddenly you were on top of Bucky. You were screaming and he was cursing and you saw the silhouette of the man next to you.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Bucky shouted, until fully turning around to see what you were looking at.

He cursed before pulling you behind him to shield you. He ran you both back towards a destroyed building on the far side of the street and finally aimed his gun at the man who was groaning, a green/black substance oozing out of his mouth like foam.

Bucky didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger, sending multiple gunshots into the man’s chest. He fell forward onto the street, dead.

You stumbled back and found Bucky’s hold on you soothing before he roughly pulled away and looked down at you, disappointed.

“Seriously?”

You inhaled deeply through your nose, feeling the dig of the building behind you.

How dare he snap at you for protecting him.

“You asshole. He was about to —”

“I don’t need you to protect me. If anything, you made it worst.”

“How the hell did I make it worst?” Bucky snarled, “What if I fell on him, huh? What if we both did?”

“But we didn’t!” You could feel your heart in your veins; in your head.

Bucky rolled his eyes as he swung his gun back down, relaxing his stance.

“Jesus fuck.” He mumbled under his breath, walking away from you, “I don’t know how you survived three years. It’s like it’s a joke to you.”

You feel your tears in your eyes before you push yourself off the wall and walked right past him so this time you were the one leading the way.

“I do what I can.” You mumble.

“Pathetic is what you are.” You wouldn’t cry. You wouldn’t. Your pace grew faster as he continued on, “You don’t—” he grabbed onto your arm, making you quickly turn around and face him. You didn’t hide the tears and you knew very well he could see them. He looked into your eyes with his pretty blue ones, “You don’t hesitate to save your own life,” he tucked your scarf that had come loose tighter around your face, and for a second you thought maybe and finally, he had a change of heart. But his next words killed that as he stepped away, dropping his hand, “We can’t risk getting infected. And I can’t risk you getting me infected, either. I might be a super soldier, but we don’t know how that thing affects people like me.”

Him. It was always about him and his safety.

“What about me? What about me getting infected or killed?” He took a step closer to you.

“You signed up for this. You know the risk.”

He walked past you.

“So I should care about your life, but not about mine?”

“What I’m saying is you need to be careful.” You were about to say something else when he finished with, “Now tie your boots before you get us both killed by you tripping onto me.”

With a snarl, you looked down to see that, indeed, your left shoe was untied.

Shit.

An hour after your fight, the winds grew stronger and your visibility was down to two feet. You hadn’t spoken to each other since, and to be fairly honest, it’s not like you wanted to speak to him anyway.

After the winds had calmed down, you had both made it through the city and were now walking through what had once been crops. Now it was just coarse sand and rough rocks.

You wanted to ask him if you could rest for a few minutes, at least to have something to eat. But you were so afraid of what he would say to you.

But as you both walked and walked, it became harder.

Eventually, you stopped, and he also stopped to look at you. Your face was crestfallen.

“I’m not a super soldier like you. I need to eat. Maybe have a sip of water.”

Bucky looked you down but then turned and continued walking again.

You wanted to cry.

Did he want you down on your knees? Would that be enough for him?

After a few minutes, you reached forest land again.

You watched as Bucky walked off to the left side and sat against a tree.

You wanted to cry in relief.

You practically ran to him, sitting next to him against the tree. You pulled off your backpack and he did the same with his.

You both sat there, chewing on some nuts and fruits and sipping water.

Afterward, Bucky threw his eaten apple into the leaves and rested his head up against the tree.

You took that moment to observe him, but not making it too obvious.

Your promise to Steve resonates in your head.

He looked so young to you that you began to wonder how old he was, biologically. There was no way he was older than thirty-eight. You felt pity that he suffered so much so young.

“Can I ask you something?” You know you were fetching far. But screw it. His answer, was a tilt of his head and a peak of a blue iris at you, “how old are you?”

He squinted his eyes at you, “Really?”

“Yeah, I mean, I know you’re in your hundreds, but biologically?”

He looked away from you and closed his eyes again. His mouth was in a straight, harsh line.

“A lot older than you.”

You bit your lip, looking away.

“I miss my life before this. I miss Netflix and Spotify. Damnit, I miss Halsey.” His expression is unchanged, “Did you ever have a favorite song? You know, before — before everything?”

He knows what you’re asking but he doesn’t answer you. Instead, he runs two hands down his face and announces that you should both get going again.

You’re disappointed.

You had quickly gotten over the fact that he would never like you, if anything he hated you, but you both needed to find a common ground of respect, especially if you would be spending this much time together.

But he still wouldn’t abide by you. It was like he just didn’t care. Were you going to have to show him your true colors?

Eventually, the sun was beginning to set and Bucky suggested you both should set up camp.

He built a fire using wood and a lighter while you laid down both your blankets. He eyed you over the fire as you put his blanket straight across from his.

He wanted to thank you but his words wouldn’t come out. He was still stuck on the question you had asked him.

After the fire was just right, he tucked himself onto his uncomfortable grey blanket and laid his head on his arm.

Your eyes closed tightly together as you tried your best to go to sleep. You folded your knees against your small chest into a fetal position, to keep warm.

Bucky watched you from across the fire. You were a good girl.

But you shouldn’t be doing this. You were the kind of girl that was supposed to live in the aftermath of the successful mission, not the one fighting for it. You were going to get hurt.

Just like he did.

And he hated you for it. You were so young and had so much to live for.

He hated that he felt so many emotions for you that made him want to scream at you and make you go away. He wasn’t sure what they were but he knew none of them was anything romantic.

He would never feel that way about anyone else ever again.

He turned around in his blanket and closed his eyes tight together.

He did have a favorite song.

Part 6

What am I supposed to do? I needed to go to Vera.. There was no question about that. She needed me. But Bucky. I don’t want to leave him and I can’t take him with me. I was pacing around in my hotel room, like that would make everything fall into place. I had told Loki what had happened with Vera and he went to get boat tickets to Norway as soon as possible. But how soon would that be. How much time would I have with Bucky. I needed to pack my things. That made me stop in my tracks and walk over to my closet. I was pulling everything out and placing it in my suitcase. It started of being put in neatly, but soon enough I was throwing everything in with frustration. I was mad, mad at myself for not opening that letter sooner, mad that I had a life here, mad that I now had someone here I didn’t want to leave behind, mad with this stupid war, mad with everything that was happening around it, mad that I couldn’t do anything to about it to change this stupid war. My vision was getting blurry, when I whipped my eyes my hands were wet. I was crying. This wasn’t fair, non of it was, especially to Bucky. I love him, I love him so much. And that’s why it hurts so much. I took a deep breath, trying to gather myself. I stood up and walked to the bathroom to fix whatever make-up was out of place.

Looking at myself in the mirror I was a complete mess. My mascara was everywhere but my lashes. “Get yourself together.” I told myself. Bucky will be here any minute now, can’t be looking like this. I got some wipes and fixed myself up. Put some mare mascara on. “Better. Now stop crying. For Gods sake you’re over a thousand years old.” I said I was looking in the mirror. On the one side this shouldn’t bother me so much, I have lived through so much shit in my time and this is what is causing me to break down. And on the other side, this is who I am. I am human, I am living. With that comes, heartbreak, sadness, anger, frustration, happiness, love. I love love, just since I’ve been with Bucky I felt love in a much more intense way than I ever had before. 

How am I supposed to tell Bucky. We literally just got engaged. This should be the start of something, not the end. I don’t even know for how long I’m gonna be away for. A month? A year? Till the end of the war? I closed my eyes. I already knew the answer. It would be until the end of the war. At least four more years. I sighed. It would just be four years without Bucky I tried to convince myself. “Just four years.” That is if he doesn’t join the war. I thought to myself and it made my stomach drop. I put my hand over my eyes. “Nothing will happen to him if he doesn’t join the war. He’ll be fine... He’ll be fine.. He’ll be fine Y/n. Stop worrying.” Scolding myself. I needed to calm down. Then there was a knock at the door. It must be Bucky. 

I gave myself one quick look before answering the door. Putting on the best smile I had I opened the door and there was Bucky. Seeing him gave me a genuine smile. It made my stomach do flips. “Hey, darling. You look beautiful.” He said as he gave me a quick peck on my lips. He had his signature smirk on his face. “Thank you.” I told him sincerely. “So I got this for us today.” He said as he pulled two tickets from his pocket. Dancing tickets. “To celebrate our engagement.” He continued. He looked so happy. I needed to tell him about me going to Norway possibly really soon. “It’s at the same place where we met.” He told me with a big smile. I looked down not knowing what to say. “Is something wrong?” Bucky asked as he reached for my hand. “No. I love it! I just can’t believe we’re engaged still.” And I couldn’t believe we were honestly. I didn’t want to ruin this day. So I’ll tell him tomorrow or after the dance. Just not now.

The day had been perfect. We went to the same diner we did the were we met each other for the second time. We took the same walk we did as we did on our first real date. Everything was perfect. It almost made me forget that I would have to leave. Key word almost. 

We were walking towards the dance hall, a lot of people were already inside. The music that was playing was fast paced. Everybody inside was having a good time jumping around, being spun or lifted in the air. Bucky was guiding us towards the bar to get us some drinks before dancing, holding my hand tightly. “What do you want sweetheart?” He asked me. “Whatever you’re having.” I answered Bucky.

He would get us some beers and we cheered. I could only gulp it down as quick as I possibly could. “Wow.” Bucky stated. “Never knew you could drink like that.” He laughed. Being a friend of Thor makes you drink like that I laughed to myself. Shit I also have not told him about me being Ævi, I am messing up in so many ways. But now I have to somehow tell him I am leaving possibly very soon. “Bucky?” I started. “Come on lets dance!” He said as he held my hand and almost dragged me to the dancefloor. There was a fast paced song on and everybody was jumping and dancing around and so were we. 

After many songs there was finally a more slow one on. Bucky kept giving me a look I couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking. “Why are you giving me that look?” I asked him trying to figure him out. “You’re just so beautiful and I am happy.” I could hear the honesty behind his voice and the need for him to get that off his chest. “I was thinking of looking for a ring tomorrow.” I looked at my hand that was resting on his shoulder. I felt awful. “Bucky? Can we talk somewhere where it is not this loud?” Bucky gave me a confused look, but nodded his head yes and started to follow me outside.

“Bucky I-..” I started and sighed. Thinking about it made my heart break. “Is there something wrong?” He asked not knowing what was going on. “Bucky I just want you to know that.. I love you, I love you so much, so much that it even hurts. And I didn’t think-..” I sighed again. Bucky had a even more confused look on his face. I walked over to him and took his hands. “What’s going on?” He asked trying to understand what my conflict was. He was looking into my eyes trying to see if the answers were there. “I-.. A long friend of mine in Norway, she.. she lost her daughter and husband recently because of the war... And I need to go see her, I need to see if she is ok.” I stammered out. “I am sorry to hear that, y/n. When are you leaving?” He asked me. “I don’t know yet, but very soon. Loki already looked at tickets for boats that go that way, but I don’t know yet what he found.” He nodded at that in understanding and held my hands a little tighter. “Do you know when you’re coming back here?” He asked unsure of himself already dreading the answer. 

I closed my eyes and sighed. I knew exactly when I would be coming back, but I couldn’t exactly say how I know what I know. “I’ll come back after the war.” I looked up trough my lashes at him to see what his reaction was at that. He let go of one off one of my hands at that and rubbed is mouth in thinking. “Maybe if I join the war and somehow get stationed off in Norway we can-...” “No! No, I don’t want you to join the army Bucky. Please don’t do that.” I interrupted him, that was the last thing I wanted him to do. “But if more people join the fight it might be over sooner. They are sending out troops now from America as we speak. I also am a good fighter and a good shot.” I could only shake my head no at that. “Bucky, please don’t join the army. I am begging you don’t do it. This war.. It will not end anytime soon and a lot of people will die. I don’t want you to be one of those people.” I was all serious. If he joined the army it would break my heart. The not knowing if he was ok or not would break me. He gave in and nodded his head. “Lets go back inside and pretend there is no war going on.” Bucky said trying to reassure me.

Back inside there was a slow song on again. I could not be close enough to him. I was resting my head on his shoulder and held him a little tighter. Bucky was holding my neck with one hand and the other was on my lower back. We were so close to each other, yet so far. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I felt helpless. I felt like I was stuck. And I hated it. I put my hand up against my cheek to wipe away the tear. I didn’t want to leave. “I love you Bucky.” I said quietly, I wasn’t even sure if Bucky could hear what I said over the music until he held me a little tighter. “I love you y/n.” He told me. I closed my eyes trying to ignore the music that was playing. I could hear his heartbeat, beating in a steady rhythm.

The walk back to the hotel had never been this long yet so fast. We were walking in circles, not wanting this night to end. But it was getting quite dark and we had to go inside at some point. “I am still looking at a ring tomorrow.” He told me as wee were nearing the hotel. That made me slightly sigh of relieve, but he didn’t know how long this war would be going on for. It wasn’t fair of me to ask him to wait and put his life on pause for me. “Bucky, I don’t want you to wait-..” I started. Bucky came to stand in front of me. “Y/n, you leaving doesn’t make me stop loving you. And I get why you don’t wanna hear this, but if I have to I will wait a hundred year or a thousand years, hell an eternity, if it all meant that in the end I would be with you. And that is what I’m gonna do whether you like it or not.”  He said as he put both his hands on my cheeks. “I love you, Y/n. Now, tomorrow and forever.” Then he planted a sweet kiss on my lips. It was slow and full of want, but not of lust. As we both slowly pulled back we couldn’t let go of each others gaze. “I like that. Now, tomorrow and forever.” He smirked at that.  “Well it is how I feel.” He said as he dropped his hands to mine. “I will love you now, tomorrow and forever too Bucky.” I gave him another peck on the lips as it was time to go inside of the hotel.

Before I even had the chance to open my room Loki burst out of his room. Bucky looking slightly shocked but keeping his own as Loki approached. “Where have you been?!” Loki asked annoyed. “With Bucky. Did you get tickets?” Loki looked Bucky up and down in slight disgust. He obviously didn’t like Bucky for whatever reasons he had. “Yes I did get the tickets. And you need to pack.. Now.” He demanded. “Wait.. When are we leaving?” I asked confused. “You said as soon as possible. I got tickets for tomorrow.. Morning. We leave at eight.” My eyes grew wide. I was expecting soon, just not this soon. I was at a loss for words. I felt Bucky squeeze my hand. “That’s faster than I expected.” Bucky said under his breath. I looked at out interlocked hands. “I’ll help you pack doll.” Bucky continued. “Good even a human is smart enough to know what that means.” I gave Loki a warning glare at that. I opened the door to let me and Bucky in and said goodnight to Loki.

“Ignore him, he’s... weird.” I said about Loki. “I heard that.” Loki said from the other side of the door. “Sorry again.” I said to Bucky. “I didn’t know it would be... That fast.” I said with sadness in my eyes. 

The night together packing went slow. I already had a few things packed luckily. After we were done packing we just laid on the bed together. Talking about anything and everything to keep our minds of reality. After a moment of silence Bucky spoke up. “Will you write me when you’re there?” He asked. I looked up at him from where I was positioned on his side. “Of course. Everyday.” I told him and that was a promise I made to myself. “Will you?” I asked him. “Everyday.” He answered back. I leaned forward to kiss him I wanted him close, one last time before sayin goodbye. I moved myself on top of him to deepen the kiss. Bucky put his hands by my neck at the top of my dress. He slowly started to unzip my dress. Caressing my skin as the zipper went down. His touch gave me goosebumps. When the zipper was all the way down I took my arms out of my dress exposing my bra. Our lips still interlocked Bucky started to sit up. Our minds hungry for each other. It was my turn to unbutton his shirt, after I was done doing that Bucky quickly shook off his shirt and threw it on the ground. I grinded down on his lap and could feel his cock hardening quickly. Mt panties were already completely soaked and ready to take them off now. I wanted him inside of me. I wanted to feel him.

Bucky went to unclasp my bra and threw it on the ground as well. His hand left hand went right for me breast and started flicking my nipple. I inhaled deeply at that sensation of his gentle touch. He put his other arm around me and his left hand let go of my nipple to hold me around my back as well. I let out a small whine at the loss of his touch. He pulled his head back looking at me briefly before spinning me around and now I was laying on my back on the bed. He discarded of my dress and panties that were still on and he quickly took off his trousers to free his already hardened cock.

He crawled back over my naked form his mouth going right back to mine. He again took my right hand with his left and put it above my head. My other hand went to his lower back, indicating I wanted him now. I felt his tip brushing against my folds, but he was not starting yet. his right hand went down to my bundle of nerves and started to slowly rub circles. My breathing started to pick up and I let out low moans against his mouth. I went to bit my lip to keep my volume low, but Bucky quickly went to suck on my lower lip before he let go. “I want to hear you.” He whispered to me. His thumb started to rub faster circles which made me close my eyes with the pleasure I was feeling. My breathing started to pick up and my moans started to get louder the faster he went. Everything started to tingle and I felt my walls try to clench to something. I let out a loud moan and my thighs quivering as I came. 

I opened my eyes searching for Bucky’s who was still looking at me. Bucky was still rubbing me and I slowly started to feel sensitive trying to close my legs. Bucky moved his hips down so I couldn’t. I could feel his tip brushing against my entrance again. I let go of his lower back to move my one free hand up to his neck. “I want you inside of me.” I told him intently. And he complied. He slowly put his length inside me, while I was adjusting to the new fulness. He was stretching my walls slowly. When he was fully situated he waited for a moment for me to fully adjust and I slowly started moving my hips and so did Bucky. I tried to move faster already feeling a new sensation build up inside of me, but Bucky put his hand down on my right leg widening me up more so he could go deeper. I put my other leg around him, pushing him down, me wanting him to go faster. “Bucky go faster.” I told him lowly. But he shook his head keeping his slow steady pace. “I want to feel you. Let me feel you.” I slowed me breathing down and started to relax into the bed more. 

His thrusts were slow, but hit every spot. With every move he made his pelvis brushed against my still sensitive bundle of nerves. Bucky started kissing my sensitive spot by my neck which made this pleasure feel al the more better. My breathing started to pick up slowly again and so did his. His thrust's were picking up and hitting harder. His balls slapping against my ass as he did. As we were both coming closer to our ends his speed started to pick up more and more. Bucky groaning in my ear as he was getting closer to his end. My moans were so loud I was getting afraid someone might hear them. I felt the familiar knot form in my stomach and my walls clenching around his length. “Bucky.” Is all I had to say as I felt my walls break around him. Simultaneously I felt his cock shoot hot spurts inside of me, filling me. His thrusts loosing rhythm before he stilled. “I love you.” He told me intently as he looked me in my eyes. “Now, tomorrow and forever.” I answered back as Ii pulled him closer for a deep kiss.
