warnings โ car breaks down, cussing, SUPER fluff
The black sky does nothing to ease her worries as she travels down the slick Texas blacktop. Her fogged headlights are dim, the nearest hint of civilization coming from miles down the road; signifying her proximity to El Paso.
And of course, as it would be, a terrible grinding sound emits from below the hood. Her Navy blue Toyota groans and moans as she pulls it to the shoulder, only for the motor to give out completely.
โYouโre joking,โ she mutters to herself as she twists the ignition. It stalls, then shuts off. She tries it again, receiving the same response from the fifteen year old vehicle. โPiece of crap.โ
The woman looks outside the car, thankful that she at least has her headlights. She could walk to the town, risking being hit by an oncoming driver or getting struck by lightning.
โYeah, letโs not do that.โ
She looks down at her phone, her battery reading a glowing 80%. A quick google search gives her the nearest tow truck company, nearly 60 miles away. She calls anyway.
โStark Towing, this is Tony, how can I help you?โ His voice is like honey and it eases her stress a bit.
โHi, yeah, my car broke down just off route 12. Iโm like a few miles before El Paso.โ
โGotcha, Iโm gonna need your Plate number and a description of your car, as well as your name. Iโm sending Clint Barton down, he can give you a ride into town once he gets your car hooked up.โ
So she gives the information, before ending the call with an exhausted, โThank you so much.โ
And the rain slows for a few more minutes, then stops completely, the clouds rolling out to reveal the brightness of the full moon. Without the A/C, the interior of her car grows stuffier by the moment, so she removes her jacket and steps outside, her head on a neverending swivel.
She uses the cheap zip-up to wipe water from her hood and takes a seat, pulling a piece of gum from her pocket.
She hums softly to herself, waiting as patiently as she can as she goes over her agenda for the week.
The loud rumble of a Diesel engine catches her attention, her hand raising to block the glare from the truckโs headlights. Itโs a white Ford F250, probably from the nineties, and itโs got no logo.
The truck pulls over and parks in front of her car, raising her blood pressure astronomically. She keeps her phone clenched tightly in one hand while the other rests on the knife she has clipped to her belt.
The driver exits, leaving his door open as he comes closer. He leaves a bit of room once he stops, โMaโam, are you alright?โ
His hairโs a dark shade of brown, nearly black. His eyes are a piercing shade of blue and heโs dressed in a Leather jacket and a pair of blue jeans. She can see the glimmer of his dog tags from the collar of his T-shirt.
โIโm fine, thereโs someone on their way now,โ she replies firmly, trying to hide the fear in her chest.
It may be nothing.
It may not.
โYou sure? I could give you a ride into town, itโs on my way,โ he points over his shoulder, โSeriously.โ
โLook, mister, I appreciate the offer,โ the woman swallows thickly, โBut it's dark and Iโm alone and I really donโt feel comfortable taking a ride from some random guy in the middle of the night.โ
He laughs softly, โYeah, I guess when you put it like that, youโre probably-โ
The back door of his truck opens, and out comes a little girl with reddish brown hair. One that looks just like him. โDaddy, what are you doin?โ
He turns, kneeling as he looks at the girl, โIโm just making sure that,โ he turns back to the woman, โWhatโs your name, Maโam?โ
โY/N.โ
โIโm making sure that Miss Y/N, here, is alright.โ The man stands and outstretches his hand to her, โBucky Barnes.โ
โHow old is she?โ The woman asks, her hardened exterior softening at the presence of the little girl.
โIโm seven!โ She grins up at her with a smile full of gaps. โMy nameโs Mara.โ
โHi, Mara,โ Y/N smiles back before turning to Bucky, โThe tow-guy shouldnโt be too much longer. You two can take off, if you need. I know itโs getting late.โ
Bucky gnaws at the inside of his cheek, โI donโt feel comfortable leaving you out here by yourself. Me and Mara arenโt doinโ any harm to anyone, but I canโt say that about the other wack jobs out here.โ
โI couldnโt ask yโall to stay,โ she shakes her head.
โYou didnโt ask, silly!โ Mara giggles before moving to the door she came from, pulling a box of cards out and returning. โWe could play Go Fish!โ
Y/N laughs and nods, โAlright. Only if you donโt cheat!โ
Mara gasps dramatically and covers her mouth, โI donโt cheat! Daddy cheats!โ
Buckyโs cheeks burn pink as he laughs, โSheโs a pathological liar, she totally cheats.โ
โOh, Iโm sure,โ Y/N rolls her eyes playfully as Bucky drops the tailgate on his truck and lifts his daughter onto it. โLetโs do this!โ
Nearly thirty minutes later, the Tow truck arrives and a stocky blonde exits, โMiss,โ he looks down at the notes he took from the call from his Boss, โY/N?โ
โThatโs me,โ she looks back at Bucky, โGuess thatโs my cue.โ
โI guess so,โ he smiles, though it doesnโt reach his eyes.
โThanks for this,โ she pulls an old receipt from a few towns back from her pocket and scribbles her name and number on the back before giving it to Bucky. โIf you ever wanna play some more rounds of Go Fish.โ
โIโd like that,โ Bucky nods as she goes over to Mara.
โBye, Mara! You played a really good game.โ
โBye, Miss Y/N!โ
She smiles as she walks over to Clint as he finishes hooking her car onto the truck. Itโs been far too long since she felt like she belonged somewhere, and this seemed like a sign that maybe it was time for her to put down roots for once.
