You’re being saved from
death by Captain America himself. Is this a beginning of a serious
relationship?
Author: Ailo
Cold. Everything is cold, and glow in a weird light.
You feel hands on your back, warmth seeping out from them and right into your shirt.
“Hang on.”
You can’t make out the last words, everything is a blur and your head, your head hurts like that one morning after you drank yourself under the table. Your whole body is shaken by shivers, you can’t seem to be able to stop shivering, even when you try to take deep breaths to settle your shoulders.
So cold…
You’re being lifted up. You know because your vision suddenly swarms, and you feel nauseous. “Stop that…” you say weekly to the one responsible for your sudden unwelcome state.
You’re resting against something hard, bulky, warm, that beats in rhythm… You realize you’re being carried bride-style, the person’s arms you were in on your back and under your knees. You snuggle into the warmth, burrowing your face and the cold tip of your nose in the person’s neck. The one carrying you takes a sudden breath, heart-beat accelerating slightly against your side for a moment before returning back to its normal, steady beating. You don’t speak. Neither does the other, who just walks. Walks where exactly ? You can’t recall a destination being set, just being picked up and carried away.. and not in Disney princess style, as you can’t seem to be able to muster enough strength to open your tired eyes.
Somewhere along the way, the other’s body heat having warmed you up during the walk, you fall asleep, gripping the person’s shirt tightly into your hands, like a man at sea would a life line. And you fall, fall slowly into slumber, the steady beating of the heart acting like a lullaby, the steady and regular pace of the other rocking you to sleep.
And then everything turns to hell. You’re being put down to rest against a tree, the sound of gunshots ringing in your head. “Don’t worry” says a voice. You open your eyes, trying to get a glance of the person who you know has been taking care of you. “Everything is going to be all right… I’ll come find you after I get them off of our backs…” You can’t even nod, can’t even voice your acknowledgment to the person. You try harder to get your sight to focus and put a face on the voice. A man. That you can make out of the blur. The voice is that of a man. Yellow… a blond, then. His hair are disheveled… And then, out of nowhere, two blue orbs pop out. A blond with blue eyes then. A pretty shade of blue, at that, the color not cold but warm and making you want to trust those eyes… A smile, trying to hide the worry and the marks of fatigue on the man’s face.
“I promise I’ll be back soon.”
And then, nothing. He disappears from your vision. You can see the grey sky, heavy clouds announcing rain… It’s pretty, standing against the luscious green of the trees around you… Gunshots again. Yells. The sound of hand to hand combat. Bullets resonating against something metallic…
You hope your blue eyed savior is alright.
The gunshots stop.
You start counting… 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi… You lose count after 13, when the first drops of rain fall down onto your face.
Suddenly he is here again. Takes you back into his arms. “Miss me ?” he asks jokingly. “We’ll be safe soon.”
You don’t care. Now you know you’ll be alright. You close your eyes, let out a content sigh and bury your nose in the man’s neck once more, drifting back to sleep, only this time completely letting go…
You hear a door opening and closing seconds later. You feel good… you’re on something soft… a mattress… You’re warm again, your head doesn’t hurt as much as before…
There is a weight on your right hand.
You open your eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the sunlight peaking through the curtains… You are faced by a wall. A white one.
A hospital then.
You turn your gaze to the right. The blond man is here, hands over your smaller one, head resting upon his arms.
Has he been here since you were brought in?
He looks cute, with his hair still a mess. You move your left hand you put it in his hair. He wakes up, startled by the contact. Now that you can see his face, all disoriented from waking up, you decide he is even cuter. No… handsome is more the appropriate word. He his handsome.
“Hi.”
“Hello.”
You smile. He takes both your hands in his larger ones, gripping them tightly.
“How are you?” he asks, looking you straight into the eyes. “Better than before. Thank you for saving me..”
God, how cheesy you must sound.
Even to you it sounds like a line from the romantic comedies you used to watch with your friends in high-school. You’re cut in your train of thought, when you notice him blushing.
“What about you? How are you?” “Fine.” he says, shrugging. “Did you eat?” “Yes, I had the nurse bring me a tray earlier…” “Why didn’t you leave?” you frown a bit. “Sorry?” he looks taken-aback. “Why are you still here?” you ask again.
You mentally hit yourself for your choice of words as soon as you see his expression change, he now looks lost, like a puppy who had just been kicked by its owner.
“I can leave if…” he tries to rise from his seat, hesitating. “I didn’t mean it like that, I just… I don’t understand why you’d choose to stay here while we don’t know each other.”
Fuck, you cursed in your thoughts. You are kinda pitiless to him now. And that man has saved your life..
He stiffens. “I… I don’t know… you just… I wanted to make sure…” “It’s alright.” You say softly, getting one your hands out from his grasp. You slowly put it on his cheek. “Thank you.”
It’s his turn to smile now. And that smile is the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
From the moment, I first saw you, knew my heart could not be free, man’s heart skips a beat, when those thoughts forms deep in his mind as he observes you carefully with his blue eyes. I couldn’t left you there to die.
He remains silent however for a second.
“I’ve never asked you for your name..” blonde man esquires.
“Y/N” you say simply. “And does my savior has a name though?” you ask quietly, breaking the silence.
“Of course” he scoffs, blue eyes lighting up his face. “Steve. Steve Rogers.”
It was one
of these days, when Bucky was full of rage. He recently has came back from very
tough mission in Eastern Europe. He has been sent to Nizhny Novgorod and he had
to invigilate the training of young Shield’s recruits.
Now,
brunette was at the gym, where he was doing his cardio training, trying to get
rid of bad emotions.
You went at
the gym out of pure boredom, your day was really boring, so you decided to go
there and do something.
Shirt and
shorts were all that you were wearing at the moment, you felt comfortable in
that outfit.
You entered
the gym and looked around, then you looked at Bucky and smiled at him. “Hey
there, Barnes!”
Bucky’s
eyes wandered slowly over you. “Hi” he only mumbled under his breath.
He didn’t pay too much attention to your
presence in the room, he just kept going with his exercises
You frowned
softly and walked to him. “Hey, why are you so angry today, huh?”
your eyes wandered slowly from top of his head to his toes. You licked your
lips a bit and smiled at him.
Bucky was
lifting weights, putting his whole attention to the exercise. He was slowly
tautening his muscles to slacken them after few moments. “Why so curious,
Y/N?”
“I’m
always worried about my friends and my team mates.” You looked at him
worried.
Bucky chuckled darkly.
“And tell me, Y/N, since when me and you are friends?” he gave you a
look, the specific one, which was reserved only for special occasions, when
Bucky was really not in a mood to conversations.
You rolled
your eyes theatrically and you sighed heavily, you always were trying to be
nice to this guy.
“Hmmm. Let me think.. Maybe since Cap forced Tony to take you to the team and
since Cap even brought you here? Maybe since that day.” You muttered annoyed.
Bucky
stopped for a while, putting barbells onto its place.
“Heh, yeah.” he looked at you briefly, then he grabbed his towel and
went at the other side of the gym. “Did anyone tell you, that you’re
annoying, Y/N? Can’t you see I am trying to do my daily workout? And can’t you
see I need to stay focused?” man sighed deeply. “What’s your
business?”
“Nope!
Cap says I’m sweet and Stark likes fact that I care.” You said, watching
him from behind. “Everyone likes me… well, maybe 99% of the team.”
You shrugged.
“So I
am that 1 missing percent” Bucky chucked. “Well.. Yea. Listen to the
man, who has been stucked in the ice for last 70 years and the man, who only
knows, how to love himself and how to be a narcissus” Bucky looked at you
above his metal arm.
“Heh,
still better than listen to the man that spent like… last 70 years as a
psycho killer controled by Hydra.” You smiled at him. “Why you are so
behind everyone, Bucky… it’s so sad…” you said quietly with sadness.
Man shrugged slightly. “I used to be
alone. And I still appreciate it. As you could saw for last months, I am
definitely not a social type of person. I like to be on my own, without bunch
of ‘fake’ friends around” his blue eyes, after little travel along your
figure, have stopped on your eyes. “Now. Let me finish my training.”
You walked
closer to him.
“Come on Bucky, how do you know,
that they are ‘fake’, if you even didn’t give them a chance.” You stood
next to him. “Look, when Cap brought me here from S.H.I.E.L.D., I was
scared of everyone. Everyone looked so serious and scary, but I gave them a
chance and look, I don’t have any fake friends. There are people, that really
wanna be friends with you.”
Bucky
rolled his eyes.
“I think I’ve made myself clear enough. I don’t need others.” Man
continued his training.
You grabbed
Bucky’s metal hand tight. “No, it’s not ‘clear enough’ for me. I can see
you aren’t like this, Bucky. I know you are different… Just tell me what’s
wrong. Because I’m worried, and I am not the only person who’s worried about
you.” You said, frowning.
“Nothing.
I had a tough mission. And I want to relax a bit. And it’s my way to do so,
Y/N” he snapped angrily. “Listen, doll, it’s a gym. Can you take your
sweet little butt and take a step or two away from me, huh? Maybe train a bit
too, it’s gonna help you to think clearly.”
“So
come on, let’s train. Come at me, bro!” You said. smiling at him.
“Come on, show me, how much of relax do you need, unless you are scared of
me.” Your smile changed from nice one into shabby within second.
One of
Bucky’s brews slowly rose, when a grimace crawled onto his rough lips.
“Are ya kidding me, doll? You don’t have any chances.”
Bucky wiped
his hands into towel, then he tossed it on the bench and slowly went into your
direction.
You got
ready on him, you were scared because this guy was three times bigger than you.
‘I hope he will be gently,’ you thought to yourself and bite inside of your
cheek, looking at him.
Bucky was
looking straight into your eyes, without any signes of hesitation.
With one
huge step he approached you and grabbed you by your left forearm, at the same
time undercutting your legs. Both of you lost the balance immediately and you
both fell onto the ground.
“Oh,
shit!!” You growled and let out a loud whimper, when you hit the floor
with your back.
You tried
your best to free yourself from his grasp, but there was no chances for it,
Bucky was just too strong for you.
“Damn you, Barnes.” You growled deeply, wiggling like a crazy.
Laying on
top of you, Bucky was smiling proudly as he was looking down on your face.
“Doll, I’ve been telling ya, that you ain’t gonna beat me.” His
bangs, wet from sweat, fell on his eyes.
You turned your head to him.
“Maybe…” you quickly grabbed his hair and pulled his face closer to
yours, than you kissed his lips hardly.
A mean smile appeared on your face.
“But I can do different stuff..” you whispered with a quiet purr.
Bucky at first was trying to pull away from you, but within
a second he got all comfy and gave a kiss back. It was a messy kiss, full of
rush and insecurity.
“You kissed me back..” you said quietly and moved
your hand through his hair.
“But… Why so shy, Bucky?”
Bucky swallowed hardly, licking his lips.
“It’s a bit inappropriate..” brunette mumbled quietly against your
soft lips, brushing them with his rough one.
His metal hand has been placed on your hip. “I think I will rethink our
relationship, Y/N.”
Quiet giggle left your lips, then you slowly turned around
in his arms.
Your lips started slowly kiss his neck.
“Oh really… So… I’m not annoying anymore?”
Bucky didn’t respond, kissing your clavicle and slipping his
impatient hands under your shirt.
“Come here.” You whispered and pulled him into
deep kiss, while you started to rub yourself against his crotch.
Bucky let out a moan, pushing his tongue into your mouth and
humming deeply. His cold metal fingers were running along the curve of your
waist.
You whimpered loudly into the kiss and clenched your arms
tighter around his neck.
Bucky placed himself completely between your legs, slowly
pulling your shirt up to reveal your breasts.
But suddenly..
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER HERE!?” a loud
yell could be heard next to the door.
You blinked and looked up, your vision was upside down, but
you could see Tony, who was angry as hell and Steve, whose face was covered in
a blush.
“Bucky….. Y/N… What you two are doing here…”
Steve asked, obviously shocked by an unexpected view.
“Exactly! What the fuck!” Tony crossed his arms
over his chest, cocking his brow. “We left you for 5 minutes, and you just
fooling around with Mr Barnes?! Y/N, I don’t recognize you!”
You could feel, how your face is getting hotter. “I…
I… I just….” You bite your lips and hugged to Bucky tightly, hiding
your face into his chest.
“Tony, calm down.” Steve said softy.
Than he looked at Bucky.
“You…. get off of her and help her get up.” Steve muttered.
Bucky, with a huge blush on his cheeks followed Steve’s
order without complaining. He offered you his metal hand and helped you to get
up.
“C’mon guys, it’s just a wrestling” Bucky used the
only explanation, which came to his mind.
Tony laughed shortly, shaking his head in disbelief. “Jesus,
give me some patience, please” Stark put his hands up in a gesture of
helplessness.
You quickly got up and pulled your shirt down, looking at
man with a stupid smile on you lips. “I don’t think this explanation will
work.”
“Of course it won’t.” Blond man growled softly.
“You should be happy, that they haven’t done anything else.” Steve
looked at Tony.
Stark shrugged, turning around. “I see you in my
office, Barnes. 5 minutes!” he ordered harshly before he left the gym.
Bucky improved his sweatpants and went to Steve.
“Sorry, pal.”
“Just go there before he will kick you out of the
tower.” Steve sighed heavily, patting his friend’s shoulder.
You improved your shorts a bit and went to Steve. “Cap,
I’m so sorry… So so so so sorry.” You whimpered. “But I couldn’t
stop myself from… him.” You sighed sadly and looked down.
Steve smiled at you when Bucky was gone. “Good work,
Y/N. Don’t let him be alone.” he whispered.

Bucky and Steve and their first time with smartphone
Request by: Anonymous
Author: Cass and Beast.
It was a day like many else before. Bucky,
sitting on the couch at the Avengers’ Tower, was playing with a little object
in his hands.
Steve walked to him and looked at lil
object. “Is it Stark’s phone, Bucky? I think he told you to not touch his
stuff.” Steve muttered and sat next to his friend.
“Yeaaah, I’ve heard all this before,
pal” Bucky shrugged slightly, moving one of his metal fingers over the
screen. “I like to make him mad. Besides. It’s only a piece of metal and
glass.”
“A piece of metal and glass that is
really important for him, just like for everyone in these days.” Steve
only shrugged. “I have no idea what interesting is in those smartphone or
whatever… In our times we didn’t have stuff like this.” He muttered.
“Heh” Bucky rolled his eyes.
“That dude can’t spend even 5 minutes without this device. I’m curious
what he would do if I would hide it somewhere…” Bucky giggled under his
breath. “Our century was much different, Steve. Maybe harder, but
better.”
“One day he will kick you out of here.
You are cruel for him. Father’s day and Stark gets a cup from you.. With words
"I love my dad” and you HAD to add “Sorry Tony” using
permanent marker.“ Steve rolled his eyes and looked at his friend.
"What are you doing there?” He said and slowly looked at phone.
“Oh, c’mon Stevie!” Bucky poked
Steve’s leg. “I just wanna see his reaction” brunette got up and
looked around. “Maybe here…” he approached the bookshelf and when
he tried to put phone behind books, he accidentally unlocked the screen.
“Fuck!”
“Hey, hey!” with flash hand he
carefully moved his finger along the screen. “The fuck is that, Steve?
I’ve never seen something like that before..”
“It’s just a phone Bucky. I saw how
Tony uses it, he just moves his fingers and touches it and the phone do
whatever he wants.”
“Lemma try this” Bucky, without a
blink, started to click each of the icons on the screen. “Oh.. How many
numbers… Mom.. Mostly to women. Precious informations” Bucky chuckled
darkly.
Steve gently smacked Bucky in the back of
his head. “Remember that those numbers can be also important for
him.” He said. “Maybe try to touch the other… lil picture on this
phone.” Steve said, he couldn’t help said he became a bit curious.
Bucky looked at his pal. “Really,
man?” he rolled his eyes annoyed. But he followed Steve’s advice and he
touched another icon. “Shit, man, I’ve just started recording…
Wait!” Bucky raised his hand with the phone in it. “Hi, Tony! Don’t
worry, your phone is a good hands!” Bucky waved to the camera.
“Just don’t kick him out Tony, please.
Turn it off back. Now” Steve muttered. “Gimme that.” Steve took
the phone and returned to the couch. “What else can be here..?” Man
said and looked at his friend.
Bucky eagerly followed his friend and
jumped on the couch. “Hey, I wanna see too!”
“Stark is gonna kill us pal.”
Steve smiled softly and opened phone’s gallery. “Oh… look at that,
photos… and there is our video… shell we look at all photos?”
“Are ya kidding me, Steve?!”
Bucky blinked. “Sure! We have to!” Bucky wrapped his metal arm around
Steve’s shoulders to see phone better.
Steve laughed shortly. “Sooo…”
He started look trough photos. “So… there is Pepper… Rhodey in
hospital… This new kid, Parker, and of course… photos with many different
women… Now you Buck.” Steve said and gave phone back to his friend.
“Pepper would be soooo mad” Bucky
pretended to be sad. “Well.. Wait.. I recognize that funny thing looking
like a bird.” Bucky clicked the icon and entered Stark’s twitter.
“You aren’t good in pretending.”
Steve shook his head and moved closer to Bucky. “What is it, pal?”
“Once I saw how Stark was.. How he
said.. Was updating his status on.. Twitter thing… Or something like
that..”
Steve only shook his head. “I think
I’m too old for this, Buck.”
“Me too… But..” Bucky managed
to use the keyboard.
STEVE & BUCKY WERE THERE. XOXO
After writing he presses on the “post
it” button. “Done.”
Steve laughed. “Soo! What now? Maybe
he has some music here? I’m wonder what is he listening to.”
Bucky tried to click another icon, but
somehow he clasped the device in his metal hand and he crushed it. “Fuck
me.”
Steve blinked. “Yea! I told you.”
He frowned. “What now?”
“PAAAARKEEEEERRR!” Bucky yelled
loudly.
“Really, Buck. What he’s gonna do? He
is just a kid.” Steve muttered looking at his friend.
“PARKER, move your lazy ass
here!!!” Bucky yelled again.
“What WHAT! What?! Aliens? Thanos? or
something else what is very evil?!” Peter jumped into room really
surprised and confused.
“Catch it, kid!!” Bucky threw
crushed phone at Parker’s direction.
“Woohoo! Wait! This is Mr. Stark’s phone…
What have you done?“ He asked. Steve shrugged. "His fault.” He
pointed at Bucky.
“Traitor” Bucky poked Steve’s
shoulder. “I accidentally broked this. But.. Now you are holding this..
So.. None of my fault” he giggled.
“Um…” Peter looked at Bucky
even more confused.
Steve sighed deeply. “Bucky, he is
just a kid. You can’t treat him like this.”
Man slowly got up and walked to Peter, he took the phone from him. “Go to
your room. I will take care of this.”
Peter slowly nodded and quickly left the
room.
~Few hours later~
"My phone… Where did I left it?” Tony muttered to himself, looking into
every place where he could possibly left his phone.
Kitchen -no.
Bathroom – no.
living room – no.
Bedroom – no.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y, do you know where my phone is?! If not, can you locate it
for me?” He muttered deeply annoyed.
“I can’t do that Mr. Stark, but I want to inform you that Steve Rogers
left something in your office.”
Tony rolled his eyes and quickly went to his office.
He saw something on his desk, he also saw small note.
Tony walked closer and saw that this ‘something’ was his phone. Crushed.
He looked at the note.
"Hey, Tony… Your phone had small accident… Bucky is sorry. –
Steve”
Tony could felt how anger was growing inside him.
“BARNES! I TOLD YOU SOMETHING ABOUT
TOUCHING MY STUFF!”
„Soo… He is like..” Tony looked at Steve
over papers that he held in hand, frowning softy.
“Blinde… Yea I know that… but he is good,
it took me a while to make sure about this but he is good, really good.” Steve
said. “Like really really good. You should see his skills, the things that he
can do. He fights like normal person, even better. He fights like a real hero.”
Tony rolled his eyes. “Come on, Steve! This
guy’s blinde, blinde like a mole. I don’t believe you, how someone like he can
even call himself a hero?”
“Have you read newspapers? He is all over
them… maybe we should at last try… give him a chance. Pleaseee Tony.” Steve
sighed sadly making kind of a puppy eyes.
“Okaaaay! Fine!” Tony muttered. “If
something will happen, it will be your responsibility, Cap.” Man said.
“It always is my responsibility..” Steve
said quietly to himself.
“What?” Tony frowned.
“No! Nothing! Thanks, Tony.” Steve said and
left.
Matt felt a bit uncomfortable, he didn’t
really know this new place very well. He also wasn’t really sure about him
joining Avengers, it was so out of place. Well yes, he was a hero but he wasn’t
like any member of Avengers. However he came anyway.
Cap and Bucky walked into room, Steve
looked at Matt and then at Bucky.
Bucky only shrugged and sat on a couch.
Steve smiled at Matt and offered him hand.
“Mathew Murdock, am I right?”
“Yes, Captain, but Matt is enough.”
Tony walked into the room and looked at
Cap. “Steve…. He is blinde. He for sure won’t see your hand.” He laughed.
Steve smiled awkwardly and immediately his
face became red.
Bucky rolled his eyes and took Tony’s empty cup from a coffee table. “Hey!
Devil! Catch this!” He yelled and threw cap into Matt’s direction. Man caught
it without problem. “I knew that second guy was there.” Matt said happily.
Tony blinked and frowned softly. “Whatever!
And YOU! Never threw my stuff” He growled and left.
Bucky only laughed. “I love to piss him off.”
“Um… Thanks Bucky. So… Matt? Welcome to
Avengers?”
Bucky only facepalmed when Steve again offered his hand to Matt, this guy was
just too nice.
Matt smiled and nodded. “Thank you Captain
Rogers.” Matt said and took Steve’s hand. “I hope that cooperation will be
successful.”
SUMMARY: Tony is asked to make an appearance as Iron Man for Steve’s son’s b-day party. He shows up and surprises everyone.
Author: Killer raccoon
Steve asked Tony to make an appearance as Iron Man at his son’s birthday party, he planned it perfectly so that he knew Pepper would be around when he asked. He’d noticed that Tony had a more difficult time turning down personal requests when Pepper was around. First- because Tony always wanted to impress her. And second- because if Tony did decline, Steve knew that Pepper had grown very good at the art of persuasion and would find a way to convince him. Tony would sometimes decline attending things he didn’t even mind doing, just to see if he could barter with Pepper for some kind of extra reward or incentive. But Pepper was on to his tricks by now. So of course even though Tony was reluctant, making a string of his usual excuses, Pepper was able to get Tony to give in.
Tony arrived at the birthday party, on time, escorted by Pepper.
The house was decked out with every possible Iron Man decoration under the sun. Steve just rolled his eyes, like Tony needed any sort of ego boost, now his face was plastered everywhere with kids practically worshipping at his feet. But much to both Pepper and Steve’s surprise, Tony had altered his suit for the occasion to perform functions and tricks that were safe for kids, and that entertained them for almost two hours. It made Pepper smile to know that Tony had put in the extra effort for these kids, even without her pressuring him to do so. It was his own choice.
After two hours of entertainment, Tony was pretty exhausted. Entertaining kids really took it out of him, plus he still wasn’t sleeping completely. Pepper finally stepped in to relieve Iron Man of his performing duties and Tony graciously accepted her help calming down the kids who couldn’t get enough of him.
When the crowd of kids dispersed for Iron Man red velvet cake, Tony took off his suit and took a seat at a nearby table. Pepper volunteered to retrieve a piece of cake for him while he waited. It was then that Tony spotted a distressed little boy crying in the back of the yard. He looked around for some kind of adult or parent to tend to him but no one seemed to see him from where he sat in the yard. A little time passed and Tony was starting to get anxious that the boy was still unattended to. So he got up and went over to the crying child, trying to comfort him while being completely uncomfortable himself. Through choked back sobs the boy confessed that he had arrived late to the party and missed out on seeing iron man, not recognizing Tony without the suit. Tony was relieved, now this was something he could actually help the small child with.
He went and got the suit and gave the boy a private show, demonstrating the water guns he’d installed in place of the repulsor beams just for the occasion, among other silly alterations he had made. The boy began to laugh and squeal with delight. Pepper watched Tony from across the yard in awe.
The little boy beamed up at Tony and thanked him, saying he was the luckiest boy in the world because he got to hang out with Iron Man. Tony took his helmet and handed it to him, telling the boy he could keep it if he didn’t tell any of the other kids. The boy threw his arms around Tony from his sitting position and pulled Tony down into a hug, thanking him profusely and calling him his best friend. Tony tousled his hair in return and said “you bet!” then encouraged the boy to join the rest of the kids.
Pepper watched as Tony sat in the grass, starting at where the boy had sat, with a stupid grin on his face. She walked over and brought him is cake and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek.
“I’m proud of sou, mrs Iron Man” she said.
They rode home in silence, Pepper gripping Tony’s hand tightly between them.
They got ready for bed separately and climbed in together. There was this pang in Pepper’s heart, playing out the whole scene she had witnessed in her head, over and over again. Tony looked so happy with that little boy. He had made that boy so happy.
They lay there in the semi-dark silence, until “I think we should have a baby!” they both blurted out at the same time.
Both of their faces lit up at the other’s confession, there was sincerity and hope in their eyes. They had a lot to talk about but they wasted no time sharing a sweet kiss, stripping each other, and practicing their baby-making skills that same night.
It was only
two days after whole Andrea’s accident. She stayed in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Andrea was
looking at white wall still lying in her bed.
Suddenly she heard a voice .
“Hey… How do you feel?” It was grant. He solely sat on Andrea’s bed when she
sat up.
“Good… but
I still feel bad… because of this what happened two days ago.” She said sadly.
Grant
smiled softly and stroked her hair. “It’s okay, nothing too bad happened.
Everything is fine now.”
Andrea
sighed heavily and quickly broked down. She started cry. “No! It’s not! I’m a
monster! Machine… next Hydra’s experiment!”
Grant
looked at her. “Hey hey hey… Shhh…” He wrapped his arms around her and pulled
her into a hug. “It’s okay now. Andrea… please calm down.” Grant said and
pulled her onto his laps.
“But… l..
look… What I did… I hurt my dad… I wanted hurt you… Why… Why you tried to stop
me… I could kill you..”
Grant
stroked her cheek and sighed. “Because you are important to me. I wasn’t
scared… I will always try to protect you… I could die for you.” He told her.
Andrea
looked at him in shock.
“G-Grant… what are you saying..”
“All I’m
saying is…” He said slowly and kissed her. Andrea blinked but didn’t pull away,
she kissed him back.
“I just
love you.” He finished after braking the kiss “I will never let anything bad
happen to you.” He said and Andrea only nodded. Grant laughed softly and kissed
her again.
After few
minutes they both jumped surprised when they heard angry voice.
“Am I interrupting in something?!”
It was Steve and this time he was really pissed.
Grant
looked at Steve. Andrea also looked at him, he was really scared.
“Dad…. I just… I mean we…” Grant looked
at Andrea.
“I can see
what you two are doing! I told you, she is Hydra’s experiment. She showed what
she is capable to. She is a dangerous creature!” Steve growled in a low voice
of his.
Grant let
Andre sit on bed and he got up. “No! She is not! I love her! And I don’t care
anymore what you think about her. Because I LOVE HER!”
“And you
are my son, MY son! And as long as I’m alive you will do what I say.” Steve
grabbed Grant’s arm and pulled him out of the room.
“I don’t care what you think about her. She is walking monster!” Steve growled
at Grant.
He suddenly
saw Bucky. “And you! Keep this thing away from my son!” Steve yelled at Bucky
and left hospital with Grant.
Bucky
blinked confused and watched as blond man left the building.
“Um… it’s nice… to see you two too..” He said slowly and went to Andrea’s room.
Girl was
hiding under her blanket, Bucky looked at this really worried. He sat on bed
and rubbed her back.
“Go away
Grant… your dad hate me…” She whimpered.
Bucky
smiled “I’m not sure if my name is Grant.”
Andrea sat
up and looked at Bucky from under blanket, “DAD!” She whimpered happily and
hugged to him tight.
“Calm down,
or you will break more of my ribs.” He giggled and hugged her back tight, “I
missed you, little one.”
“How do you
feel… w-what I did to you..” Andrea asked and looked at him.
Bucky only
smiled at her “For me more important is how you feel but… I only have few ribs
broken. I don’t know how many… I didn’t listen. I was more worried about my
daughter.”
Andrea
sighed and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I… I didn’t mean to dad… I
don’t know… I was so angry, scared. This rage, it ripped me from the inside. I
wasn’t controlling myself. I’m sorry.”
Bucky
looked at her and put his hand on her cheek. “Sweetheart… please, shhh. It’s
okay, I understand, I good know this feeling.” He told her.
Andrea
nodded and hugged to him tight. Bucky spend few hours with her before he had to
go back.
Martha
knocked to Andreas door.
“Knock knock. How’s my favorite patient?” She asked and slowly sat on Andrea’s
bed .“I hope you feel better, Andrea. Just I wanna you to know that Bucky will
be able to take you home soon, I hope you are happy.” She smiled.
Girl only
smiled sadly and nodded “Yes… I wanna go home, to dad.” She said quietly.
“Andrea…
something’s wrong? I can see that you are quiet… and I’m sure that this time
it’s not because the thing that happened two days ago.” Martha sighed and got
up from bed. She walked to girl. “Come on tell me..”
Andrea
looked at her.
Andrea felt bad because of everything. Because of thing that happened, because
of Bucky and Steve and because of Grant. She told everything to Martha.
Martha
giggled. “Finally my son had shown some balls…” She muttered to herself and
sighed. “You know what… I think you shouldn’t think about this. Everything will
be fine. Things like this won’t happen again, Bucky is quickly returning to
health and Steve… He is himself, but don’t worry. I won’t let him separate you
with Grant. Now… It’s getting late, you should try to sleep a bit, okay?”
Andrea
smiled and nodded, now she felt much better “Thank you..” She said.
Martha
nodded. “No problem Kid… I will be back at morning to check upon you. Good
night and see you tomorrow.”
Andrea
spent few days in hospital, after this time Bucky took her back home.
Girl
happily flopped on her own bed in her own home, Andrea sat slowly on bed and
looked at Bucky. “Dad… I… can we talk about me? I mean… about what I am?” She
looked at Bucky with her big puppy’s eyes.
Bucky
smiled sadly and nodded, he sat next to her. “Just… remember, no matter what I
always love you.”
Andrea nodded “Sure… I love you too, dad.”
Bucky smiled sadly. “So… it was fourteen years ago..” He began.
~~~~~~
fourteen years ago~~~~~~
“Everyone’s
down?” Steve sighed heavily picking up his shield from floor.
“Well, no
one shoots to us anymore, so I think yes, Cap.” Bucky looked around and smiled
at his friend.
Steve
nodded and put shield on his back. “So… Agents will go there and we will go to
main lab.” Steve ordered and few agents
that were with them left them alone on the corridor “You okay, Buck?”
“I just…”
He looked around again, Bucky felt really uncomfortable. “Just… bad memories..
but let’s go. We should check what those sick bustards were doing here.” Man
muttered and started walking toward main lab.
Steve
followed his friend.
Main lab
was a huge room, filled with all kinds of weird things. Many books, boxes with
documents. Photos of some creepy stuff.
Bucky
looked at documents. “That makes sense…”
Bucky muttered.
“What is
it, Buck? What do you mean?” Steve asked.
“Look at
those photos, Steve… they were experimenting on people, kids… even unborn one…”
Bucky put few pages of documents on table.
Steve
looked at them. “Yes… Look… This woman… She got missing few weeks ago.” He
picked up documents and started looking trough them. “13 years old girl…
pregnant woman… Man from store… Mother and her newborn son… Everyone that ever
reported missing from city below. Just
reading their treatment makes me sick…” Steve shook his head and shivered.
“I never
really met with such a cruelty from Hydra… I mean I knew they can be cruel…”
Bucky muttered, walking around in room, checking under tables and other place
where they could find something.
“I think
it’s more like new… branch of Hydra. All those adults that think they can make
Hydra great again… Like we can see they left really quickly… or those few that
we met were last one in here. I have no idea.” Steve shrugged “I will have to
move all those stuff to S.H.I.E.L.D, and I will have to send letters to
families… You know… When we were at war. I thought it is hard, but it’s harder
than I ever thought.” Steve said and looked at Bucky.
But Bucky
wasn’t really listening to his friend, he found small room. It had working
light and it was warm. There was small bed inside, some toys, small clothes
were laying on floor and on a small chair. “What the hell…” Bucky muttered and
walked inside.
“Bucky…” Steve blinked and followed his friend slowly.
Bucky
looked around, room was really small, but only now Bucky could see pink walls
covered in childish drawing, whole place looked better than whole place. Bucky
also saw table with long tablecloth. He
could hear some quiet sounds from there. He slowly walked to table, man got
onto his knees and slowly moved tablecloth up.
There was
sitting a small girl. With short dark brown hair, she had big green eyes, small
pink lips and she was really skinny.
Girl looked at Bucky scared and moved herself away from man.
“Hey hey…
shhh… look, I’m not one of those man. They were coming to you? They were bad?
You are scared of those man?” Bucky
asked quietly.
Girl
whimpered and nodded three times.
Bucky
smiled at her. “Hey, we are here to help you, little one. We will take you
home, to your mommy and daddy. Come on now… look I have this special hand… It
will protect you.” He said and pulled out his metal arm toward girl.
She looked
at him but after a minute she moved closer to him.
“That’s it.
You are a good and smart girl.” Bucky said softly and wrapped arm around girl.
Bucky hugged girl and got up from floor. “You are safe now, no one gonna hurt
you.”
Steve
looked at him. “What the hell are you doing with this child?!” Steve frowned.
“Calm down
Steve… She is just a child, she’s not gonna hurt us.” Bucky smiled.
“Look at
her! We know nothing about her. She is Hydra’s experiment. We don’t know what
sit in her.” He growled and took his shield in his hand “We can’t let her
live.”
Bucky
frowned. “Are you kidding me? She is just a child.” Bucky said hugging again
scared girl to him. “I don’t let you kill her, she is so small.”
“She is
Hydra experiment. You think why they keep her alive?” Steve said.
“Then why
you never killed me, Steve? I was an experiment too. Good man changed into
killing machine by HYDRA.” Bucky said and looked at girl. “Let me take care of
her… I promise… I will do everything.”
Steve
frowned. “Fine…” He put shield on his back. “But if anything ever happen
because of this thing… it will be only your responsibility.”
Bucky
nodded and looked at girl. “You see… I told you.” He smiled when girl looked at
him and smiled back. Her smile was still caused by her fear but Bucky could
feel that she was really happy because she was safe now.
Whole paper
work in S.H.I.E.L.D took a lot of time. Bucky saw girl’s documents but he
didn’t like what Steve wrote there. He agreed at those words only because Steve
promised she won’t ever see those documents.
Girl was
sitting at big metal table in lab. Bucky stayed close, while Martha was
examining her.
“She looks
healthy, I mean. She isn’t sick… but there is one thing.. that made me worry.”
She said and looked at Bucky.
“What is
it?” He blinked, he started feel something weird inside. Since they found her,
he got really attached to her. It was weird but nice feeling for him. It was
something new, something that made him feel warm inside. He wanted this girl to
be safe whole time. Was it because they shared similar life. Hydra’s
experiment, good person destroyed by sick people, loners found by good person.
He had no idea… but he really liked this feeling.
“I mad
X-rey. She has a metal hand…” Martha said.
Bucky
looked at her and at girl. “Um… Sorry Martha.. but I don’t see it.” He said
really confused.
“I also
thought it but look..” She walked to girl. “Will you let me show Uncle Bucky
the magic trick with your skin?” Martha asked, looking at girl.
Girl smiled
at woman and at Bucky, she nodded and giggled quietly.
Bucky felt
even more warm inside when he heard this quiet sound, he felt… good, he felt
happy.
Martha
nodded and slowly pulled off skin from girl’s hand “It’s some kind of… bionic
skin, I think I will send it to Stark. He will know what to do with it.”
Bucky
looked at hand “They… hide it… but why?” He walked to girl and took her small
had into his hands.
Martha
shrugged. “Maybe she had to be some secret weapon. We will never find out I
think. But as far as I see she is fine. We didn’t find anything bad in her. She
is just too skinny, but it will quickly go back to normal. You talked with
Steve?”
Bucky
nodded and sat on table, girl climbed on his laps by herself and put her hand
on his arms. Then smiled at him. Bucky smiled softly “Yes I talked with
him, I want adopt her. Take her with me
to home.” He said.
Martha
blinked. “Are you sure? I mean we don’t know if she is 100% okay.”
Bucky
nodded. “I was in similar situation too… Steve helped me. It’s time for me to
help someone, we both are from Hydra’s hands… Who else will be able to help her
better than me.”
Martha
smiled softly. “If you say so Bucky.” She nodded. “She is three years old but
she doesn’t have a name.” She said and looked at Bucky.
“I thought
about one… Andrea, I like this name. I think it will be perfect for her.” Man
said and girl smiled at him.
Martha
smiled. “Okay, fine. Better go home now. She needs rest, food, water and love.”
First few
months with Andrea were hard.
It took Bucky long time to figure out what girl like to eat and what she
doesn’t like. What she likes to wear and what not.
Bucky was
giving Andrea almost whole his time. When she was asleep he was preparing room
for her. She was getting sick many times what meant that Bucky spent many
nights with girl in his bed, making sure she is okay. It was hard, Bucky was
making so many stuff at once that he slept when he could, while waiting at
microwave to stop, when Andrea was with Martha at her research, during girl’s
nap time.
But it all
was worth it. After few months Andrea started talk, she started eat properly,
she started smile more often, many night were peaceful for Bucky and for
Andrea. Bucky lived moments that he thought will never come to him. Visits at
playground, trips to cinema to see new move for children, walks to zoo. Bucky
couldn’t be more happy than He was with his adopted daughter.
He was
often leaving Andrea with Steve’s son and their babysitter. Steve wasn’t really
happy because of this fact, but Martha was really good in calming down her
stubborn husband.
When Andrea
met Grant she was even more happy. Bucky had to learn her good manners, how to
act around other people and explain girl that she isn’t weird but special.
Andrea
looked at him. “Dad… m… maybe you aren’t my real dad, but I never knew my real
parents… I love you… and… thank you for everything. All those sleepless night
that you spend with me, all this time that you gave me trough my whole life.”
Bucky
smiled and hugged her. “It was all worth it… Because now I have wonderful young
lady… and she is my lovely daughter.”
“Dad… Can
you do something for me?”
“What is
it, sweetheart?” Bucky sighed softly.
“Can… can
you do something so Grant will come here. Steve really made sure he won’t visit
me… and… I miss him.” She said sadly.
Bucky smiled
and ruffled her hair. “I will try my best. Now try to relax you are finally
home.
Next Andrea
got up really late. When she walked to kitchen she saw Bucky, Martha and Grant.
Grant saw
her and quickly walked to her. “I missed you!” He said and hugged her really
tight.
Andrea
giggled and nuzzled to him. “I missed you too… soo much!” She whimpered
happily.
Grant smiled and kissed her, after a long kiss he looked at her. “I missed you
harder…” He muttered happily.
Andrea
giggled happily and suddenly realized that Martha and Bucky were watching them
whole time. Grant saw how her face became red and looked at Bucky and his
mother.
Martha was
watching them, smiling gently. Bucky was looking at them with big smiled on his
face. “I am puking rainbows!” He yelled and laughed “So cute. Go upstairs… She
missed you. Just you two have to be quiet there.”
“Daad!!”
Andrea whimpered and her face became even more red.
Bucky only giggled and shook his head. “Go go, I will talk with Martha and
think what to do with our cap.”
Andrea
nodded and took Grant up stairs.
Martha
smirked. “They look cute together… I don’t understand why Steve hate her so
much.”
Bucky
nodded “I don’t understand since We found her…” He said softly.
