*this blog is currently on hiatus*

Hiiiii! I haven’t had a Bucky blog in ages but man, that supersoldier just can’t keep me away 😂 Relatable?

A few notes about my blog so I can pin this to the top and hopefully find the people to follow and interact with!

• my main blog is spenceralexdutton so I’ll follow back from that one!

• I have read the comics (Thunderbolts is my fave tbh - Bucky and Kobik🥹)

• I want to write Bucky with everyone 😂 AUs, readers, Natasha (again, comics fan), Steve Rogers (love Stucky), and OCs. I could even get behind some Bucky/Peggy! Got an idea? Send it over!

• I have roleplayed Bucky before, in case anyone is still doing that, I’m all up for RPing! GUIDELINES ARE HERE

• I’m working on my rules, master list, etc. Once they’re ready I’ll post them here :)

• I’d like to find some reading challenges! Tag me if you’re hosting one!

• Wanna just scream about how much we love Bucky? Message me!

Hero Forge Designs of My Special Guys

I played around on Hero Forge and made my guys! I tried to make them as accurate as I could, but some turned out better than others (for instance I don't love RJ's HYDRA one, and Kobik's HYDRA one is supposed to look like a hospital gown but oh well), either way it was still fun! I did a Bucky one too but like. Y'all already know what Bucky looks like, and also Tumblr's stupid 10 picture limit is a thing.

Juniper (plus Fenrir on the Left and Vili on the right)

And their mission attire (f. Fenrir in his Behemoth form)

Juniper during HYDRA Years

Kobik as a HYDRA prisoner, and her Hero attire (ft. Alpine)

RJ in his HYDRA years, and in his Hero attire

And last but the opposite of least, Rose (RJ's Girlfriend who I would die for) (ft. Poe the Cat)

[nocek]

ok, you know what. Let's bring this one year old wip back with it's current state because I feel like I need to scrape it and start back with the flats (other attempt and new less lazy flats below the cut) because I've learned two things:

I can't cut corners and at the flats phase use just use loosely approximated colors that the things should be and then fix everything with postproduction and gradient layers later. It doesn't work that way and being lazy early on will come back and bite you in the ass.

Turns out there is a sweet spot between eyeballing and adjusting colors along the way and meticulously planning color scheme of the pic at the overall composition phase. On that spectrum I went outside to the lazy ass not even really eyeballing it - let's fix it later :S

and the second lesson is that with busy lineart I shouldn't really add busy colors and shadows and all. It's very fun to get lost in rendering details but it hurts the whole picture.

so yeah.... hopefully one day I'll be able to really finish this one.

could have I added more dumb details to the background? probably

will I still add them? absolutely ;>

ROGERS: The Musical

Chapter One: Aricka gets a Call

(Aricka and Steve Rogers, Aricka x Bucky Barnes, Aricka and the Avengers)

*now*

“Save the city

Help us win

Save us all from

The state we're in

Things look dark but

I know this can't be the end

Can’t be the end-!” Aricka grabs Aaron’s hands and kicks her legs out; spinning as he lifts her, and assuming a “hero” pose as she lands.

“Avengers unite-!” She shouts, performing a jazz square and twirling so she’s back to back with “Steve” aka Aaron,

“'Cause we've got to hear you say…” the avengers sing, as Aaron leans again Aricka, both looking at each other and singing,

“I could do this all day-!”

How did this happen-? Aricka thought with an exhilarated smile on her face; Aaron lifting her high in the air, her fist punching the air. From a workshop to the stage- this little idea of a tribute to her brother finally was taking off.

*then*

Aricka was lulling Sarah Beth to sleep, Kobik and RJ already asleep in their respective rooms. “Oh, the waves roll low

And the waves roll high

And so it goes

Under the bright blue

Endless Sky…”

She ran her fingers through silky blonde curls, Sarah fighting sleep as she cuddled her Bucky bear- a brown teddy bear dressed in an old Henley that belonged to Jamie.

“Waves try to measure

The days that we treasure

Wave hello

And wave goodbye…” finally, blue eyes shut and Sarah fell asleep with a soft sigh. Aricka stepped out of her youngest’s room and shut the door, startling slightly when she saw Bucky there, a soft little smile on his face. “Hi Jamie. She tried insisting on waiting til you finished the debriefing but I managed to get her to sleep.” She stepped into his space, wrapping her arms around him. “I’m so glad you’re back.”

“That makes two of us.” Just as he was about to say something else, her phone rang. Aricka frowned and accepted the call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Mrs. Barnes?”

“This is she.” Bucky gave her a confused look, but she shrugged.

“Hi! This is Hunter Bell. We’re working on a musical tribute for your brother, and we were wondering with your musical expertise, would you be interested in playing yourself?”

Aricka gasps, seemingly frozen in place. Bucky gently gripped her arm, getting her attention.

“… it’s a Broadway producer- they’re making a musical about Steve- they want me to be- myself!”

Bucky’s lips tipped upwards in another of his heart melting smiles as he whispered, “Well-? Tell them yes-!”

She grinned. “When do I need to be there?”

[kobikate]

((Just putting it out into the universe that I would LOVE a spy x family thread with Kobik and a Bucky sometime.))

[mr-tony-stark]

As Tony sobs and let's his husband comfort him, his mind is racing with what ifs. What if she's a mayfly too - a life that naturally is bright and short? What if they just aren't equipped to care for her and they end up physically causing her harm? What if someone targets her to get to them? What if? What if? What if?

It doesn't matter. Tony knows, and he thinks Clint probably knows to, this reaction is because it's a yes. He was only grieving the potential loss because it was something he wanted to keep.

When he saw Clint had tears in his eyes, he stopped trying to make himself stop. He just let it happen, because maybe it needed to. He needed to let it go and not let it poison this.

It eased off on it's own and he pushed himself back up, and wiped his eyes with the back of his arm, before looking down at her in Clint's lap. "Alright. I guess we're doing the Superman thing," he said. "But we need to do this properly. We need to make sure it's not hurting her to be here. I mean; she seems fine. But every time I feed her I'm scared I'm poisoning her. And we need to do this by the book. We can't have what happened to Bucky and Kobik happen here. There has to be no legal reason that they should take her off us. I am going to pull every fu... tzing string I have to make this happen. But SWORD is all X-Men right now. So that might mean getting another favor from Emma. And you know what she's like. I think Eden might be a member. He's been an Avenger. So I can try him first. "

@oceansfirst

Clint feels it too, knows in a moment what Tony is feeling and goes to quickly put his hearing aids on. He only has a moment before Tony is curling against his side, and Clint gently moves to lay the baby down on her back, between his legs and her head resting on his knees.

He goes to pull an arm around his husband, and tears prick at his eyes too. Clint knows exactly what the both of them were feeling, would have guessed than known where his mind was without him saying he wanted to talk about Brandy.

That was two, Frankie who was never born and Brandy who grew too fast and burned too bright. NOW THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL IN HIS LAP. Clint can't turn her out, can't lose another chance and he knew he could lose here too.

❝ I know.... I know... ❞ He soothes, as he rubs Tony's arm and simply lets him cry. The baby does wake up, and Clint simply traces with one finger along her cheeks, her nose, and little brow. Keep her calm as well.

❝ Maybe this time, maybe this time. ❞

Kobik - Chapter V

Bucky X Reader

Fluff, angst

Warnings: Violence

Chapter Summary: Bucky and Sam are still away leaving you and Kobik on your own. Soon, you learn that the two of you may not be as safe as you thought you were. And you learn a little more about how Kobik uses her powers.

Masterlist (For previous/future chapters)

“Wait, no!” you exclaimed.

“You have to slide like this.”

You demonstrated the move starting off with the run and sliding down the wood floor sideways.

Kobik giggled.

“You can’t slide forward. That’s how you fall, kid!”

You were teaching her the Tom Cruise slide from ‘Risky Business', and having fun with it for the past hour or so determined to keep going until you both got it down.

She tried again wearing your socks that were obviously too big for her, but perfect for sliding. And once again she didn’t quite get it causing her to fall forward. She would have made full-face plants, but right before she’d hit the floor she’d begin to hover and bring herself back to a standing position. Honestly, you were pretty sure that the falling part was her favourite. You couldn’t blame her. Since she wasn’t actually getting hurt, watching her do it might have been your favourite part too.

The music that you were playing was so loud that you almost missed the sound of your buzzing phone on the table. It was Bucky.

You went to go pause it, but before you got to it Kobik managed to use her telepathic powers to turn it off.

Typical.

It had been three days since Bucky and Sam left. And if it weren’t for him calling at least once a day, you would have been a bit worried.

“Hey, Y/N,” Bucky answered before you even had a chance to say anything.

“What’s up?” you asked.

“You and Sam find anything yet?”

You could hear a light sigh come from him. He sounded tired.

“We think we’re close.”

“Think?” you questioned.

“We’re pretty sure we’re close to figuring out who they are and what they want. We just need to figure out how to stop them before they go any further in their heavy search for her.”

Your heart skipped a beat. You had almost forgotten that the reason that Kobik was with you in the first place was because people actually wanted to hurt her.

“How’s she doing?”

Suddenly there was a squeal coming from behind you followed by a loud,

“I got it!”

Bucky chuckled.

“Should I ask?”

“Just…dancing,” you snorted.

“How are you guys doing?”

Suddenly you heard Sam’s voice shouting in the background.

“Tell your husband to stop being an irrational asshole so we can get through the next 24 hours in one piece!”

You let out a groan.

“Sorry I have you on speakerphone.”

You ignored that statement.

“Do I really want to know?”

Bucky awkwardly cleared his throat.

“Nothing you need to worry about, doll.”

Doll. He only used that when he was trying to suck up to you in the worst way possible.

Apparently, the two were headed to the airport in the countryside of Sweden and Bucky was driving.

“And how are…you?” he asked. His voice was a little bit apprehensive, and you knew why.

“I mean—”

“We’re both fine,” you reassured. You both knew that you weren’t talking about you and Kobik.

“That’s good.”

You could sense a little bit of a smile in his voice along with a covert sound of relief.

“Have you called…I mean have you talked to…”

“Bucky,” you interrupted.

“Just get home in one piece, and we’ll get everything sorted out then okay?”

“What’s she talking about?” you heard in the background.

“Nothing,” Bucky replied annoyedly.

You playfully rolled your eyes. You knew he was going to keep this a secret for at least a little while longer.

You decided to let him go hoping that he would rest some rest on the plane ride back. When you said your goodbyes Kobik floated into your arms like a feather and said a quick hi, and bye. And before hanging up you also demanded Sam kick your husband’s ass if he didn’t behave. Sam happily agreed.

When you finally hung up you turned your head to an excited Kobik.

“Alright kiddo,” you said.

“Hit the play button.”

………………………………….

Kobik was surprisingly cuddly. And considering the fact that you were chronically sleepy nowadays, you couldn’t complain.

Despite the fact that it was only 5 pm, you didn’t want to move at all. And thankfully you didn’t have to. You laid on your side on the couch with SpongeBob playing on TV as Kobik slept cozily with her back against you.

You felt your phone buzz in your back pocket. When you took it out you saw a text message from Bucky asking if you were home.

You decided that you didn’t really feel like texting so you just picked up the phone and called him.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Y/N, thank God. I was just about to call you.”

His voice sounded panicked.

“Are you at home right now?”

“Yeah, what’s up?” you croaked.

Kobik stirred a little bit at the sound of your voice.

“I need you to get out, now,” he stressed.

“Wait, what?”

“I don’t have time to explain. Just head to our spot and be in the car within the next two min—”

Suddenly his voice was interrupted by a bullet shattering a window and hitting the kitchen counter.

Within an instant, Kobik was awake and alert.

“They’re here,” she said, grabbing you to jump behind the couch with her for shelter. She put her finger to her mouth signaling for you to keep her mouth shut.

Suddenly two men entered the apartment treading carefully.

“You think he’s here?” one guy in a blue shirt asked from the far corner away from you.

They were about 20 feet away from you with their backs turned to you. They were one motion away from seeing you. Actually, when you thought about it, it seemed unlikely that wouldn’t have seen you by now. And Kobik was uncharacteristically calm. And that’s when you noticed.

There was an almost invisible blue silhouette surrounding the two of you. Like a bubble; or some type of force field.

“Can they see us?” you mouthed.

She looked around her watching the two men passing back and forth in front of you.

She slowly shook her head.

“Do you really think that we’d still be alive right now if The Winter Soldier was in any close vicinity to us?” the other guy in a grey shirt answered.

“But the bigger question is where that little moneybag is. Kid killed my old partner. Weak-ass. How dangerous can a four-year-old with some powers be?”

Was that what they were calling Kobik? A moneybag? How much was she going out for like she was some inanimate jewel?

You took your phone out making sure that it was completely silent and began typing in the notes.

“Can we move while invisible?”

She nodded nervously.

You watched their patterns of movement and figured out how you were going to get to your bedroom which was where your gun was.

You wrote in your notes again.

“My room. Now.”

“Seriously, is anyone actually in here?” blue shirt whined.

Grey shirt shushed him and pointed to the keys laid out on the table near the front door, and your purse on the floor. It was obvious that someone was home.

He signaled him to stand on the other end of your office door which just happened to be the door across from your bedroom. They both counted down from three with their guns held tight in their hands anticipating some type of ambush and opened the door, storming in.

You took that as your queue and mouthed the words,

“Go.”

You bolted towards your bedroom and grabbed the case that held your gun. Kobik didn’t leave your side maintaining the illusion of invisibility.

After grabbing it you carefully walked out keeping Kobik close behind you. You saw that they were still in your office debating on who was going to open the closet door.

You took the opportunity of calm to fire three shots at the most dangerous-looking one and bolted back to the living room.

You couldn’t see who or where you shot exactly, but you could tell by the cries that you hit one of them.

One of them said something that you couldn’t quite hear. But the other one hollered,

“I just got hit in the fucking shoulder, you idiot!”

It sounded like grey shirt. Mission accomplished.

You almost smiled a little bit. Bucky was not going to let you be married to him without learning how to defend yourself to your best ability.

That was when you noticed that Kobik wasn’t at your side anymore. You began to panic.

“Kobik?” you whispered.

You turned to your left and found her in a corner under the counter of the kitchen. Keyword…You could see her.

Before you had time to get to her two bullets zoomed past your head by at least ten inches. You shot right back at whoever was hiding behind the office door trying to get you. Before he could fire another round you managed to shoot him right in the hand making him drop the gun. You ran over to Kobik to see if she was okay. Her terror was beginning to set in. Her hands shook, and her eyes were red trying to hold back tears and be brave.

“Are you okay?” you whispered.

And suddenly her eyes went from scared to terrified. That was when you noticed the reflection of a man in her eyes, and he was just about to shoot.

Kobik made a soft intricate motion with her hands, and just as she did the entire room transformed right before your eyes. Just like what had happened a few nights ago, this wasn’t your apartment anymore. This was that lab again.

She managed to separate the both of you from the other guys by a wall. You were now in a completely different room. She began to run towards a small door in the far right corner from you and waved her hand to make you follow.

You ran into the room and without using her hands she slammed the door shut and locked it. You were in a tiny room. There was a little bed in a corner along with a few toys, and a dresser to put clothes in. But it also looked and felt like a panic room.

“It’s okay now,” she said breathlessly.

“They can’t hurt us here. The wall's bulletproof, and they can’t see the door or hear us.”

“How do you know that?”

But when you looked into her eyes you knew the answer.

You let out a huge sigh of relief and wrapped your arms around her. She had been so good at keeping calm since the men entered, but as you started rocking her, her body began to shake.

“It’s happening again,” she whimpered.

You pulled away and placed your hands on her wet cheeks.

“Listen, kid,” you said.

“We’re gonna keep you safe. And I’m not going anywhere.”

She began to cry even more. But now she didn’t seem scared. She seemed almost relieved. She trusted you. And trusted that maybe just maybe, you were right.

…

Half an hour passed you and Kobik were laying face-up on the comfortable carpeted floor. For a room that was made up in 0.5 seconds, she really knew how to make her surroundings comfortable.

About 10 minutes ago you began to hear faint noises on the other side of the door. A bang here, a bang there, maybe someone yelling. You wondered if more people were coming in to look for you. Whoever it was, they didn’t sound happy. Maybe a boss or someone was yelling at them for losing the two of you. But you weren’t scared. As Kobik said, you were safe.

“Y/N,” Kobik said pulling your phone that she had just found from under the bed.

“I think this is yours.”

You shook your head and smiled. You knew that you must have dropped it, but you didn’t know that it followed you.

You remembered the last time that you had spoken to Bucky and how panicked his voice sounded right before bullets came flying through your windows. You couldn’t imagine how scared he must be. Or if even he was okay. The last time that you had heard from him was about 14 hours ago and he was about to fly back from Sweden.

You turned it back on to find 27 missed calls from both Bucky and Sam.

Right before you had a chance to call Bucky, Sam’s number popped up as he was calling. But you still had to be cautious.

“Who is this?”

“Who do you think it is?”

A huge sigh of relief escaped you.

“Are you guys okay?” he continued.

“We’re inside the um…apartment? And we can’t find you.”

Kobik seemed nervous to let your secret spot go.

“Just tell us where you are. Bucky’s currently interrogating two bleeding guys that he just handcuffed. I’m guessing that you had a little something to do with that?”

You snorted. But knew you definitely had to get out before any unnecessarily serious damage was done.

You nodded at Kobik telling her that it was okay. The coast was clear. And she trusted you. With one swift motion with her hand, the door flew open.

Sam was coincidentally in the same room as you guys but was startled when you opened the door.

“Shit!” he exclaimed.

“How did you guys…where did that door come from?” he then looked down at Kobik. His mouth opened and confusedly tilted his head.

“Y/N makes that face a lot too,” was the first thing that she said.

Under different circumstances, you definitely would have burst into laughter. But all you could do was walk over and hug him.

“Are you guys okay?” he asked looking you and Kobik up and down looking for any injuries looking relieved when you both seemed okay.

“Sam?” Bucky called from afar?

“They might still be—”

That’s when Kobik used her powers again and brought everything back to normal. In fact, everything that was damaged in the first place was also back to normal.

When everything was back in place you were in the same room as Bucky.

When he turned around, you had never seen anyone so relieved in his entire life. You ran towards him and he held on to you tighter than he had ever held on before.

“Y/N,” he gasped.

“Oh my God.”

“You know if you weren’t my husband I’d be sending you a medical bill for the cracked ribs,” you winced.

“What?”

He pulled away thinking that you were actually injured before realizing how hard he was squeezing you.

“When were you going to tell me that you landed?”

He shook his head

“I tried.”

You then remembered all of the unread messages that you had received while napping.

Right.

“Bucky!” Kobik exclaimed.

She had been distracted talking to Sam about what had just happened.

He smiled and let her jump into his arms.

“She’s a really brave girl this one,” you pointed out.

“I was lucky to have her.”

"Y/N I'm so sorry I never should have--'

You shushed him and reassured him.

"It's okay," you said.

"We're all fine. That's all that matters."

That didn't stop the expression of guilt in his eyes.

"Besides," you added and winked.

"You thought me well."

Bucky shook his head and brought you close hugging you and Kobik at the same time.

“I’m sorry to break up your little Hallmark moment,” Sam interrupted pointing to the two guys on the floor that were in fact cuffed, and bleeding on your wood floors and against the back of your couch.

“But we have unfinished business.”

Kofi: Just a little reminder

I will write for any Marvel character so long as they are over 18!! As well as Stranger Things characters! Any scenario you would like I will write!

Don’t send in a prompt that would be for an under 18 character as well as a darker type of writing! I don’t do darker themes. Well, canon darkness I will write but other than that I won’t write.

SamBucky AU idea!!!

There's an app you can download that helps bring people together to fund trips. You type in your interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes, and any preferences. The app matches you with people based on similarities and the amount of money willing to put forth for the group. Typically, the groups are a bit large so the funds are even throughout the group, instead of just a few people paying the majority. But Sam has just inherited some money from his late brother, who has recently passed away. And although he would have put it towards the boat, or towards his nephews' saving accounts, his brother instructed him to use it for one thing and one thing only.

Gideon wants Sam to retrace the steps he'd taken around the world. Gideon left home young, after their parents had died and Sam was old enough to take care of himself and Sarah. He writes all of this to Sam in a letter, explaining that they were better off without him and although he distanced himself, it was never their fault. Gideon just couldn't handle it.

Stricken with grief, Sam takes throughout the winter to come to terms with everything with Sarah by his side. So they wait until AJ and Cass are out on summer break so they can all go. Sam uses that app, although he is very suspicious of having other people with them, and is paired with a group of people who just needed one more person to pitch in. There's Steve Rogers, Sharon Carter, Bucky and Kobik Barnes, Misty Knight, and Colleen Wing. He chats with some of them to work things out and they seem friendly enough.

Steve and Sharon are definitely still in their honeymoon phase. They wander off a lot.

Bucky and his daughter Kobik often take stops to try out desserts. Both have a huge sweet tooth. Almost worryingly so.

Misty and Colleen are into the more active parts of discovering new places. They explore the cities and do as much as they can. They wake up early and sometimes stay out late, but they join the group's dinner without fail.

Bucky's a polyglot, so he's often the middle-man. And luckily for him, Sam is a man with a lot of questions. Maybe too many to be reasonable but Bucky likes learning with him. Sam's smile is nice.

AJ, Cass, and Kubik get along super quick. Sarah can depend on Sam and Bucky to watch over the kids while she enjoys some spa days. Although at dinner, she misses them so much that she peppers them with an embarrassing amount of kisses.

A/N: I love Kobik. She is not part of the MCU I know but I just jammed her in there cause why not. I am sure it won’t be the last time either. It’s not completely an AU but since I am adding Kobik here and completely making stuff up I feel it counts. Probably more canon divergence though but it’s now a square. 

The premise of Kobik being detained by the government is inspired by Bring Home Kobik by @avengerscompound

This had without a doubt been the weirdest assignment you had been given, although there had also been the slightest hesitation from you in accepting it. It wasn’t the first time you were asked to assess the safety levels of operatives, but this time it was different. Kobik was classified as a  weapon of mass destruction, but she was also a child. 

You had met her the first time while she was still locked up fifty feet underground in a secret facility sixty-five miles outside DC. Politician and army strategists feared her, or it as many of them called her. Despite everyone fearing her, you had also seen how everyone was focused on how to use her.

Prompt/Square: U4: Told You So

Summary: Bucky comes back from a long mission late and Kobik missed him and wants to play. Even though he is tired to the bone, he agrees and introduces her to fireflies

Type: Moodboard | Fic

Bucky never thought he would ever be a father with as much trauma as he had endured in the last 70 years, let alone be a suitable father figure to someone. But when Kobik came into the world, taking the form of a four year old girl, and the brutal way that SHIELD had treated her, he had a deep rooted need to protect her. Sure, his team was of questionable tastes, but they all knew that they had to protect Kobik at all costs, even if it meant that he had to lie to Steve and be deemed a villain, the latter being something he was used to from the moment he got his mind back. The kid was unique by any costs, but was always happy and eager when he was around, so she wore down his walls that he had built up over the years of being reformed, like all the other members of the Thunderbolts.

Bucky loved to entertain Kobik as much as he could. So many times she would come bounding down the hallway when he got back to their base after a mission, wrapping her arms around his waist and state that he was gone too long. It didn’t matter if he was tired to the bone, arm short circuiting, or bleeding to the point he needed stitches, if Kobik asked for it, he would try his best to give it to her.

She loved stories. Her bright, ice blue eyes would be wide as he read from the latest fantasy novel she was obsessed with (right now it was the Fellowship of the Ring), hanging onto every word he said, asking questions or proposing ways she could fix the problems that the characters would have. He would have to remind her that her powers could not be used in such a way without knowing what the outcome would be like. They all found that out when she brought Steve back, but Kobik created, or stole from a universe, another Captain America in the same timeline that went against the rules of time. It was nice to see his friend back, the man whom he had grown up with and known in his early life, but there was another version out there that was Steve as well, but the one that went against everything he ever stood for. Kobik apologized profusely, her eyes wide with tears as he hung onto his side, begging for him to forgive her.

He always did. She was a kid after all: a kid with powers that no one else could fathom or knew how to control. Strange and Wanda helped as best as they could, but even they had no idea how she could control her powers. If Kobik wanted it, she could make it so. 

He walked into their base, tired to the core and wanting nothing but a hot shower and beer, but he saw the bounding white haired girl coming towards him and he forced a smile, happy to see her still there. 

“Buckaroo! You’re back!” she smiled, flinging herself at him, her thin arms wrapping around his waist in a tight hug. She pulled back enough to crane her neck to look up at him, her eyes narrowed and her lips pursed. “You’re late!” 

“I know, kiddo. I couldn’t call, and I’m sorry,” he replied gently, his hand coming up to pat her head as she was still hugging him. “Were you good for Karla while I was gone?”

“Yep! We made smores and danced in the rain!” The chipper look overtook the solemn look she had. “Have you tried smores? They are really good!”

“Yeah,” Bucky chuckled, “can’t go wrong with some chocolate and marshmallows, right?”

“Can we play?” she asked, finally letting go of his waist and taking his hand. 

“Sure kiddo. Just let me set my things down and we can play. What did you have in mind?”

“Fairies!”

Bucky couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face as he walked down the corridor with Kobik skipping next to him. “Fairies? That’s all? Did Karla take you out and show you how to catch fireflies?”

“Fireflies?” She had stopped skipping and walked alongside him, her head turning to look up at him. “Flies that are on fire?”

“No, kiddo,” he chuckled, “I’ll show you once I get cleaned up. You’ll like them, I promise.”

The little girl looked at him quizzically and nodded once, walking with him to his room. He told her to get the fairy things ready for him as he changed, and to wait in the common room for him, instructing her to leave Abner and Erik alone as they were both ornery and weren't in the mood for talking to anyone anytime soon. She had learned that sometimes after a mission the others weren’t in the chipper mood to chat with anyone. Except for Bucky. He always made time for her.

It only took him ten minutes to take a shower and change into clean clothes, forgoing drying his hair and leaving it damp as he walked down the hallway. Kobik was sitting on one of the chairs, her legs swinging away as she was wearing a blue dress and iridescent wings. Her hair was still in her pigtails, and her face lit up when she saw him.

“Buckaroo!”

She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his waist again, a simple act that Bucky had grown accustomed to over the months of having her on their team, in her words anyway.

“Ready to go look for fireflies?” he asked, pulling her away from him to walk to the cupboard to grab a jar.

“What’s the jar for?” she asked, tilting her head slightly.

“To put them in,” he replied with a smile. He took her hand and led her towards the entrance to head outside. He walked her in the direction he knew was a clearing in the woods, safe from any danger that could possibly be lurking. Her gasp and her grip tightening on his hand had him stop.

“They aren’t going to hurt you,” he said soothingly when he noticed she saw a flicker of light near her. “They are just insects, like butterflies and ladybugs.”

“But they light up,” she replied timidly, her free hand reaching out to a lingering light but it went out and her hand recoiled faster than any gun Bucky had used. There was a mixture of amazement and concern on her face.

“Did–did it die?” she asked softly, her head tilting like it always did when she asked a question.

“No, it is trying to find a partner,” he explained, letting her hand go slowly, “if you look closely, it is still hovering in the air right there.”  His metal hand lifted and pointed to the dark spot in the space before her face. He brought up the jar beneath the insect and put his hand over the top to keep it in. The little bug flickered again, and Kobik leaned in to look at it, her eyes wide with astonishment. “He flickers his light to find the right girl bug on the ground. See?” He pointed to the ground where there were other flickerings happening.

“So they aren’t on fire,” Kobik stated, her hands coming up to hold the jar. Bucky let her have it, his hand coming off the top of it and the small bug flew out, blinking his morse code. “Hey!”

“It’s okay, there are plenty others,” he chuckled, waving his hand out to the clearing. She finally looked around and her shocked face gave him a smile. “Now, we can put them in the jar but we have to release them after a bit, so they can find their partner, understand?”

Kobik nodded enthusiastically and set off to try to capture the little insects to put in the jar. She giggled as she chased them around, apologizing when she noticed she stepped too close to one on the ground. She finally sat down and let the small bugs crawl into her hand from the blades of grass and gently nudged them into the jar.

“Karla said I could find you out here,” a voice sounded from behind him. Any other time Bucky would tense, but he knew that voice. He turned and smiled at Wanda, who stood next to him, her arm wrapping around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder. “You should be resting, James.”

“I will,” he replied, turning his head to press a soft kiss to her head, “but I was gone longer than I should have, and Kobik–”

“You could never say no to her,” Wanda smiled, looking at the little girl sitting on the ground, talking to the insects.

“Bucky! Look!” she yelled, holding up the jar that had five or so fireflies in.

“I told you!” he called back, smiling.

“Hi Wanda! Look! Fireflies!” Kobik beamed and set the jar down and looked at it.

Wanda laughed and nodded her head. “I can see that. Bucky showed you how to catch them I see.” Besides the rest of the Thunderbolts, Wanda was one of the few that wasn’t scared of Kobik, as she, too, was once deemed dangerous. It was one of the reasons why he loved her.

“Alright kiddo. Few more minutes and then we are going to have ourselves a fairy party inside,” Bucky called to her. She nodded, not looking up at him as she placed another bug into the jar.

“Fairy party, huh? Don’t think I ever saw you in fairy wings, James,” Wanda mused, pulling back to look at him. He shook his head and chuckled.

“Care to join us?”

“Wouldn’t miss it.”

Synopsis:  Every day at the park Bucky and Kobik see you with your dog. One day Kobik decides it’s time for you to meet.

Bucky’s Little Wingman

Bucky pushed Kobik on the swing.  She kept asking to go higher, though he didn’t know why considering she allowed herself to float several inches off the seat with every change in direction.  He obliged though and now her screams were drawing the attention of everyone around.  The fact she was glowing and flying probably adding to the general attraction of the event too.  There was a time, Bucky would be worried about it.  Where he’d stop and tell her she needed to relax.  His attitudes had changed a bit now he had legal custody of her.

Also right now, he was distracted by you.

He’d been noticing you in the park on and off for the last couple of months.  You came in with your dog and the two of you would sit under a tree while you ate lunch and read.  You always looked so at peace out in the sun.  Even when you were reading a book that made you weep openly - something you never hid, and your border collie always started wiggling and licking your face when it happened - you looked alive and present.  The sun and the nature found in the park seemed to feed you.  It made you thrive.

Bucky was drawn to it.  It seemed so familiar to him.  A reminder of who he once was way back before he had been spoiled by the darkness of the world.

“I’m gonna fly!”  Kobik yelled and on the upwards swing she let go and flew up into the air.  She somersaulted and floated down in front of Bucky’s face.  “Bucky!  Did you see?  Did you see me, Buck-a-roo?”

“Yes, Kobik.  I saw.  You shot right off into space.”  Bucky said, grabbing the little girl around the waist and settling her on his hip.

“It wasn’t space, Bucky.”  Kobik huffed.  Her little voice conveying how ridiculous she thought he was.  “I could go to space if I wanted.”

Bucky booped her nose and looked back over at you.  The flying child incident had caught your eye and you smiled at him before returning to your book.  “I know that, silly.”  He said.

Kobik followed his line of vision to where you were sitting.  “You’re looking at her again.”

Bucky’s eyes snapped back to Kobik.  “What?  No, I wasn’t.”

“Yes, you were.  You should go talk to her.”  Kobik said.

“I - I - She’s just …”  Bucky stuttered putting the little girl back on the ground.

“I could make it that you already did talk to her and she said she’d go on a date with you.”  Kobik squeaked jumping up and down excitedly.  “Oh - oh!  Buck!  Bucky!  Buck-a-roo!  I can make it so that you’re already married and you’re both my mommy and daddy!”

“Woah!”  Bucky yelped, crouching down in front of her and putting his hands on her arm.  “Woah, now, Kobik.  How many times?”

“I just want you to be happy.”  She whined.

“I am happy,”   Bucky argued.  Though the words felt a little like a lie.  Not that he was unhappy exactly.  He was doing much better recently.  He’d been in therapy.  He had his friends.  Kobik.  Still, that real happiness he used to have when he was young, and going out with his friends.  Seeing girls.  That felt like a dream he once had a long time ago.

“I’ll talk to her,”  Kobik said, pulling out of his arms and running over to you.

Jemima your border collie sat up as soon as she got to you and started wagging her tail.   “Hello, I’m Kobik.”  The little ethereal looking girl said smiling brightly at you.

“Hello, Kobik.  I’ve seen you and your dad around the park.” You reply.

“He’s not my dad.  I don’t have parents because I was made out of bits of these magic cubes.  But Bucky takes care of me.  I live with him at the Avengers.”  Kobik babbled.

“Oh-kay…”  You said dragging out the word and looking from her to the dark-haired man who was just coming up behind her.

“Kobik!”  Bucky yelped, coming up behind her.  “What have I told you about dumping your whole life story onto complete strangers.”

Kobik looked up at him with her brows knitted.  “Nothing.  You’ve never told me anything about that.”

“Oh.  Right.  Well, you shouldn’t do it.”  He said.  “That’s a slow trickle over time story.”  He turned to you and dropped his head, smiling apologetically.  “Sorry, miss.”

“This is Bucky.  He was born like a hundred years ago and he fought in the war with Captain America.  I call him Uncle Steve.  One day he fell off a train and his arm broke off and HYDRA got him.  You know HYDRA?  They had me too.  I thought they were the good guys but then Buckaroo made me realize they were really mean.  They gave him this cool metal arm.  You should see it.  Show it to her, Buck!  It’s really cool and super strong.  But they also messed with his head and made him do some real bad stuff.  He won’t tell me.  But I know.  I pretty much know everything.  They made him kill people and stuff.  They used him for so long.  I don’t even know.  Like a million years probably.  Then Uncle Steve helped him be good again.  Then he found me and now he takes care of me and helps the Avengers.”

Kobik spoke at a million miles a minute and as the words all tumbled from her mouth the look of horror on Bucky’s face became deeper and deeper.  When she stopped talking you’re both just stared at her with your mouths hanging open.  “Okay.”  You said, blinking slowly.

“Kobik!”  Bucky yelped.  “Oh my god!  The not dumping the whole life story goes doubly for my life story!”   He dragged his hand down his face and shook his head.  “I’m so sorry.  I’m so, so sorry.”  He said to you.  “I guess that’s our cue to leave.  Sorry for bothering you.”

He took Kobik’s hand and started to lead her away.  She looked back at you and waved and for a moment you were just frozen watching them not knowing what to say.  “No.  Bucky!  Wait!”  You called, getting to your feet.  Jemima jumped up with you and started bouncing around you.

Bucky turned back to you raising an eyebrow.  “Yeah?”

“It doesn’t seem fair that I know your entire life story and you don’t know mine.”  You said raising your eyebrow.

Bucky shuffled in place and looked down at his feet before he looked up and met your eyes.  “Would you like to go grab some lunch?”  He asked.

“Oh, at least lunch.  I don’t talk nearly as fast as Kobik.”  You replied.

Bucky smiled and Kobik ran over and grabbed your hand.  “Come on then, let’s go!  Can I play with your dog?  What’s your her name?  Does she like treats? Can I give her one?  I can make them if she likes them.”

You laughed and closed your hand around Kobik’s and started to introduce yourself properly.
