washing plates after dinner when He heard doorbell.
He wiped his hands and walked to door.
In open door Bucky saw young boy. It was Grant.

He
literally was a mini version of Steve.

He was Just
a short blue eyed boy with short blond hair, He was really skinny, just like Steve
before serum. He was holding his strap from bag tight in his hands
Bucky liked this boy, He wasn’t so bad but He really wasn’t happy to see him.
“Morning Mr. Barnes… Is Andrea home? I want her to go on a walk with me.” Grant
asked softly, trying to look over Bucky’s shoulder, looking for Andrea

Bucky
raised an eyebrow Now He really didn’t liked it.
“Yeah… Sure… She is in her room… I will call her. Come in and wait in living
room.”
Boy nodded and slowly went to living room. Grant knew Bucky very well, He was
his father’s best friend but Bucky still was scary. Big guy with metal arm.
Bucky walked to stairs “Andrea! Someone’s here to met with you.” He yelled and
returned to kitchen.

Andrea
slowly walked downstairs and blinked looking at Grant 
“Grant!” She yelled happily and ran to him quickly.
Grant smiled and hugged her tight
“Hey, I heard you are sick… what happen? Are you okay… I’m worried now.”

Andrea
smiled “Don’t everything is fine… I mean… Nightmares… they are back…. And… I’m
scared.” She said sadly and nuzzled to him.

Grant
sighed and hugged her really tight and stroked her back “Everything will be
fine… Maybe we should go on a walk? It will be good for you.” He said and
looked at her.

Andrea
nodded softly and looked at him “Daddy?! Can I go on a walk?

Bucky
looked out from kitchen and nodded looking at Andrea “Sure sweetheart.” He said
and looked at Grant frowning.
Andrea walked to Bucky and kissed his cheek “Thanks dad.” She said and then
grabbed Grant’s hand and pulled him behind herself.

In park,
Andrea sat on grass and sighed softly looking at the sky “You know… sometime… I
wish I could be normal…” She said quietly and looked at Grant. He sat next to
her
“Andrea… you are normal.”
Andrea smile and looked at her metal hand “Look at it… metal hand, who normal
have hand like this? I’m a freak… I feel like… the worst one..”
Grant blinked “Hey… and how I should feel? Look at me.” He smiled at her “I’m Sickly,
skinny, weak and My father is Captain America! The guy that is as big as your
dad, I look like my dad on his old photos… For me you are just unique, you
aren’t weird, scary or anything… just unique.” He said and took her metal hand
in his.

Andrea
smiled and hugged to him “Thank you.”
“You are welcome, now let’s go home, it’s getting late.” Grant said and got up,
Andrea followed him slowly.
During their way home They me group of girls that were always bullying Andrea.

“Hey There weirdo! Oooh! Look girls! one freak
found another one. Is he your boyfriend Freak?!” Leader of group asked looking
at Grant.
Andrea quickly hide her hand and looked down scared
“I asked you something freak!” Girl yelled at Andrea
“Hey! Leve her alone!” Grant growled.

Girl smiled “Oooohh… look He is a hero now.
Come on girls, let’s show him how it ends when you protect a freak with metal
hand.” Girl said and She and her friends attacked. Andrea tried help him but
girls without problem pushed her away.

After few minutes girls laughed “Let’s go girls…
they got their lesson. Better don’t try tell anyone.” Leader of group said to
Andrea and they all left.

his face in her hands “Oh my god… you look terrible… let’s go… We will help you

Bucky looked at them “What the Fu…. Heck happened
to him?” He asked when Andrea helped Grant sat on couch
“Just… just help him dad… please…” Andrea said and quickly went to find first
aid kit. She brought it to her father.

Bucky sighed and started take care of every
scratch. Bucky sighed sadly, it was like past. Well, it wasn’t Steve… but Grant
looked just like his father especially now.
After few Bucky looked at Grant “Okay…. I did as much as I could.” Bucky got up
from couch and walked to Andrea.

“Thank you, Mr Barnes… but you really didn’t
had to.” Grant said and slowly got up.

Bucky smiled and ruffled Andrea’s hair “Let’s
take your hero home, I’m sure his dad and mom are worried.”

Grant sighed sadly and nodded slowly “You are
right Sir.”

Bucky took both kids to car and took them to
Steve home.

It was small white house, Steve was sitting on
porch, waiting at his son to return home because it was getting late.

Woman walked to him and rubbed his shoulder. It
was his wife. Beautiful, blue eyed young woman with short blond hair “He is
with Andrea… I’m sure Bucky will bring him home.” She said softly to Steve

“Martha… I don’t care. You good know what I
think about her… Maybe Bucky isn’t Winter soldier anymore… but She can be. We
don’t know what they…” Steve stopped talk when he heard Bucky’s car.

He quickly got up form chair and went to. He
froze when he saw Grant “What the hell Barnes! What you little monster did to
him?!” He yelled.
Bucky frowned and looked at Steve, hiding Andrea behind himself.

“Dad… Don’t. She did nothing.” Grant said.

“I don’t care… I good know you gonna protect
your ‘Friend’. Go home now, Martha… take care of him.” He growled and looked at
his wife.

Grant quickly went to his mother “Mom… it’s not
her fault… The girls… I was protecting her.” Grant said. Woman nodded “I’m sure
you were… let’s go home…” She said and took boy inside.

“I hope you are proud of your girl Barnes.”
Steve said frowning

“She did nothing…” Bucky muttered looking at
Steve.

“Oh really… look at Grand… You saw what
happened? Maybe she is lying to you and Grant protect… this… little child of
Hydra.” Steve said pointing toward girl.

Bucky frowned and grabbed Steve’s hand “Don’t
you dare…. Call her that.” Bucky growled.

“Or what…. She gonna hurt me with this little
metal hand?” Then Steve could feel how cold metal hit him right into stomach.
Steve fell onto his knees holding his stomach tight.

“Not her metal hand… but my, Rogers.” Bucky
said “You think you are better? You changed a lot… and not in good meaning.”
Man picked up girl and sighed “I know that She didn’t did anything bad… She is
my girls.” Bucky smiled and looked at Steve over his shoulder “If for you she
is still a child of Hydra… than I’m still The Winter Soldier for you. Till the
end of the line…” Bucky laughed “I think our line ends here, pal.”

Bucky sat girl on her seat in car and then took
driver seat and drove away.

Steve growled when he got up “Fucker…” He
muttered and went back inside.

After few minutes Andrea looked at Bucky form
the back seat

“Dad…” She asked quietly.

“Yes, sweetheart?” Bucky asked and looked at
his daughter in the mirror.

“Who Am I…?” Andrea looked at him in the
mirror.
