“Who the hell are you?” The rugged hair male asked while you sat in the corner of his rundown apartment. You sheepishly smiled taking the spoonful of pudding that you’d found in his ridge out of your mouth. “Nice to see you again Mister soldier.” You said making the male narrow his eyes at you. You reached over opening the blinds letting the light in the dark corner revealing who you were.
The male softened his face remembering you from the river. He’d dragged Steve to the rivers bank where he didn’t think anyone would be. That’s when he saw you there running to Steve to try and save the captain. He remembered you so vividly because you had reached out for his metal hand making him instinctively turn ready to attack. He stopped suddenly with widened ice blue eyes at the sight infront of him.
You had tears in your eyes making them sparkle lightly. One hand was gripped around his hand gently and the other was protectively wrapped around Steve. What had caught his blue gaze was the smile that was on your face. “T-Thank you.” You sniffled lightly and smiled widely making his eyes narrow in confusion. “T-Thank you. For saving the C-C-Captain..” You released his hand to cradle an unconscious Steve. He couldn’t help but to stare at you in confusion. Not only did you not attack him, you thanked him, and paid him no mind not worrying if he’d attack you. You were obviously different.
“You remember me don’t you?” You said smiling lightly to the male who nodded his head softly. “You’re the girl who thanked me. You’re a Stark.” He said still a little on edge. He didn’t trust people so naturally that included you. For now. “Captains been looking for you. I only found you because I’ve been searching none stop for weeks now running off a few hours of sleep. So what-” “You can’t tell him I’m here. Or at least not yet.” He said interrupting you. You knew Steve would scold you to no end if he ever heard that you’d found Bucky but kept it from him. Yet there was something about the man that made you ready to take that scolding with no questions asked.
Your visits with Bucky were usually twice a week for an hour or two with the two of you just talking. Granted he did most of the listening but you began to notice little by little he would smile at your cheesy jokes. Then visits turned to five times a week and more then five hours. From cooking for the man to showing him music and movies he’d missed out on since the thirties. He also began to notice how much he’d grown attached to you.
You’d returned one day with a bruise on your eye and a gash on your cheekbone. He insisted you go get medical attention but you had to remind the male you were an Avenger. He remembered the feeling of rage wanting to hurt the person that had done that to you. He began to realize how much he looked forward to hearing your contagious laugh, to see your (E/C) eyes sparkle when you smiled. Hell he loved seeing you accidentally fall asleep and the drool that always fell from your lips. He loved you & he could never forget the day you admitted you loved him too.
“You’ve been coming here more often. Not complaining but don’t you miss hanging out with the others?” He asked laying on the beat up mattress he had on the ground next to the table. “Not really. I love them all but when I’m with you, you make me feel.. okay.” He turned to see you reading a DC comic book yet again. You’d seen him turn so you placed the book down turning to face him as well. “I mean okay. Okay in the sense that no matter what happens I’ll always be able to rely on you. And you kinda’ make everything feel like it’s going to be okay.”
Once again you shined him that smile he saw that day on the river. The smile that made him fall in love with you on sight. Without much thought he placed his warm hand on the side of your face stroking your cheekbone softly. “You make me feel everything again.” He gave you a small smile making your heart flutter. He leaned forward boldly putting his lips on yours gently. Something you’d been waiting for him to do for months now. You responded kissing him back softly as you could. That night consisted of nothing of sleep but sweet fondue instead.
That was the night you both decided you needed one another. “Promise me you’ll stay.” You murmered out half asleep laying you’re head on Bucky’s heaving chest. A smile came to his face as he saw you nearly asleep. He leaned forward placing a soft gentle kiss on your forehead. “ ‘Till the end of the line.”
You murmured to yourself lightly softly tippy towing around the darkness. Of course only you could lose a billionaire, a walking fossil, and a fossil with a metal arm in a scary place like this. You and Tony had met up with Cap and Bucky which shocked the duo but gave them a feeling of slight relief. The two war hero’s didn’t expect to have any back up considering the fact that half the avengers were either hurt or in a floating prison. You heard the snarky voice of your older brother causing you to follow it.
“An empire toppled by its enemies can be rebuilt. An empire that is destroyed from the inside, now that’s something unfixable.” You ran into the room expecting to see a dozen super assassins going toe to toe with the trio you’d lost. You didn’t expect for all the assassins to already be dead with a bullet in their head. Your hand came to your mouth that was hanging open while you fought the water that wanted to fill your eyes. Sure you were an Avenger, but you were far too soft for that title.
“Ah. The pride and joy of the Stark Family. The only Avenger who cries when any life is lost on either side. The one who wants nothing more than peace but her only power brings nothing but destruction. How nice of you to join us (Y/n) Stark.” The three men turned to you in concern already knowing you were about to cry. You quickly paced over to stand in between Tony and Bucky facing the man know as Zemo. “You can’t hide in there forever.” Steve said to the male who never tore his gaze away from you.
Bucky saw your face filled with worry and sadness. “Should’ve stayed on the jet kid.” He whispered out to you rubbing his metal hand soothingly on your back. The familiar nickname and action caused you turn your head to the male trying to give a reassuring smile. Zemo’s eyes never wavered as he watched the interaction. Only a smile coming across his once emotionless face. He knew. He’d already won.
The small monitor that was in front of both you and Tony turned on with an imagine that made your blood freeze. “I know that road.” Tony murmured out. A simple looking road. A road both you and your brother visited more times than you were both willing to admit. “Tony that’s..” Your eyes widened to the brim seeing the date on the corner of the screen. “What is this!?!” The oldest Stark shouted making you swallow the knot that formed in your throat.
The familiar Cadillac you’d ridden in as a child came into the frame crashing harshly into a tree. A car that your father Howard took care of almost as if it were a child all on its own. Steve’s gaze went back and forth between your eyes and Tony’s. Bucky’s eyes wanted to look away from your (E/C) eyes but they simply couldn’t. A stalky muscular male on a motorcycle came into the frame effortlessly walking towards the car.
The figure was far too familiar to you. As much as you wanted to deny it you instantly recognized the man. You shook your head lightly making Bucky glance towards the ground but eventually looked back to you.
Howard crawled weakly out of the Cadillac pleading using a voice you’d only heard only once. “P-Please help. Help my wife.” The soldier all in black pulled your fathers head up harshly making the older man gasp in pain. The look on your fathers face said it all. “Sargent Barnes?” The audio was subtle but that was enough to make tears form in your eyes. The next part of the audio caused Tony and your hearts to break into a billion pieces. “Howard? Howard??”
Tony’s gaze left the monitor glaring at Bucky who lowered his head momentarily but looked back at the oldest Stark. Your sight was blurry from all the tears that you didn’t want to let fall. The sight of Bucky smashing his metal closed fist straight into your fathers face caused you to jump. You shut your eyes tightly making your tears to fall as you instinctively reached for Tony’s hand gripping it tightly. Tony looked at your figure with hatred for the man you had naively trusted.
“Hey big brother? What time is mommy and daddy coming home?” Your innocent childish voice asked a much younger Tony.
The memory made Tony wrap his hand around yours tightly looking back at the monitor. With each loud echoing hit the soldier delivered to your fathers face you flinched staggering your breathing. Something that had broken Bucky far much more than anything else he’d ever seen and done as the Winter Soldier. “Howard??” Your mothers pained voice said one last time. The soldier threw your fathers now dead body into the front seat of the car staging the car accident.
You opened your (E/C) eyes to see the man you’d fallen in love with ending your mother’s life. One metal hand gripping her neck tightly to stop her breathing. The video ended with the soldier coming in front of the camera shooting it. There was no question anymore. The man you loved killed your parents. Bucky killed your mom and dad.
Tony tried to rush towards Bucky but was instantly stopped by Cap. “It wasn’t him Tony.” You turned to Steve questionably wondering something that had been bothering you. You’d noticed out the corner of your eyes while watching the video, that Steve hadn’t responded to the video at all. “Captain. D-Did you know?” You said just above a whisper but still loud enough to hear the pain in your voice.
“I didn’t know it was him.” Steve said making you turn back to the monitor that now was replaying the video. “Don’t bullshit us Rogers!! Did you know!?” Tony said turning with hurt towards Steve. You narrowed your eyes slowly dozing off staring at the video. Bucky noticed your face seeing you were no longer paying attention anymore. Of course the only female that made him feel like everything would be okay, the female he fell in love with, was the female he hurt the most.
“Daddy guess what! I got an actual one hundred on my science test without cheating this time!” You said showing the paper proudly to your father who narrowed his eyes at your statement. “This time?” He asked while Tony bursted out laughing. “Excellent job sweetheart! Umm let’s try not cheating on tests for the rest of the year okay?” The angelic voice of your mother said.
“Mommy why can’t Tony just stay with us instead of going to smart school?” You asked with tears in your (E/C) eyes watching your brother drive off to return to boarding school. “Your brothers going to make you a proud little sister that’s why sweetheart.” She said kissing your cheek softly. “He already did.” You murmured scrunching your face trying not to cry again. “(Y/n) you’re too young to understand.” You turned to your father sitting on a leather black couch. Once again looking unfazed by your brothers departure. “You and your brother are gonna’ be capable of great things.”
“You cannot sleep with us. Go to bed.” Your father said with a hand on his temple seeing you already in his king sized bed. “Monsters? Or bad dream?” Your mother said crawling in on the other side of you tossing the clean white comforter over the two of you. “None. I just wanted to sleep with you guys.” You said laying down patting the empty side next to you signaling your father to lay next to you. “Fine. You better not drool tonight! You drool on these sheets I’m throwing you in the trash can.”
Howard woke up the next morning on his stomach which was his usual sleeping position. However he felt a small hand gripping his ear, a wetness on his back and a tiny leg kept twitching kicking his arm off the bed. “(Y/n) Elizebeth Stark.” He mumbled with irritation but didn’t bother moving not wanting to wake you.
“Last time I’m gonna warn you Anthony Edward Stark! Stop teaching my daughter your deteriorated language!” Your father shouted making both Maria and Tony turn to see a seething Howard. “What are you talking about?” Tony said trying not to smile. “She fell down the stairs again at Stark Industries and instead of crying she shouted profanities!” Maria and Tony both now tried their hardest not to laugh. “Like what?” Their question was answered when you dashed through the kitchen in a captain America costume. “Oh fuck!”
“Daddy! Mommy! Before you leave!” You shouted to your parents who were going on a small business trip making them stop. “I just wanted to say I love you.” You said hugging your mother who bent down kissing you’re forehead softly. “I love you too sweetheart. We’ll be back soon.” Howard bent down kissing the top of your hair ruffling it shortly after. Never once had your father ever said he loved you or Tony but deep down you knew he did.
“Ou! How about when you get back we can have a family movie night?” You said happily to your parents who again were going on a business trip. However instead of leaving you with Jarvis they left Tony incharge. “Sure. Sweetheart sounds great.” Your mother said laughing softly at how happy a small thing made you. “Sounds good darling, keep an eye on your brother and make sure he doesn’t get himself killed.” Your father said jokingly while they left yet again.
Difference is, they never returned this time.
“Tony, (Y/n) you're too young to understand this right now, so I thought I would put it on film for you. I built this for you. And some day you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than people's inventions, it represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll both figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is, and always will be, my greatest creation... is the two of you.”
Bucky, Steve, and Tony had all began fighting while you were blanked out. Explosions didn’t make you budge but those memories took their toll on you. It brought something out of you that not even you knew was there. Bucky and Steve had the advantage on Tony both coordinating an attack on him. Two against one. Bucky had Tony pinned against the wall with his metal hand around the arc reactor attempting to either crush it or pull it out. Which would’ve resulted in another Stark’s death by his hands.
Steve’s eyes widened when Bucky was enveloped in a light blue shade and thrown harshly across to the thick wall cracking it slightly. “Bucky!” The trio turned to you seeing you in a place they knew to never get you in. Like Wanda you had telekinetic powers to some extent only trick was you weren’t as good or as strong as she was. Nor could you control it as they’d just witnessed. However your energy was more or a blue shade instead of scarlet. “It wasn’t him (Y/n)!”
Tony came in and began attacking Steve leaving Bucky to you. The wounded soldier looked up to you in sorrow gulping a knot down his throat. “Baby please. Please try and understand.” Bucky said slowly getting to his feet with his hands up.
“You and your brother are gonna’ be capable of great things.”
The tears in your eyes continued to fall down your face while a black vein popped out from the right side on your face. “SHUT UP!” You said kicking the man in the gut sending him back a bit. He saw no getting through to you, rightfully so. He had no choice but to either get you to calm down forcefully or just fight back to stay alive.
“I just wanted to sleep with you guys.”
“IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!” You shouted mindlessly throwing punches covered in your light blue energy around them. Bucky doged your punches left and right looking for an opening. You swung one heavy left losing your balance giving the man his opening. He got your hands pulling them back as he stood in back of you holding you in place. “(Y/n) listen to me!”
“Last time I’m gonna warn you Anthony Edward Stark! Stop teaching my daughter your deteriorated language!”
You shouted loudly focusing all your energy into your hands making them shine bright blue. Little by little you pulled your body as close as you could to Bucky’s. You released another loud scream when you hit your stomach sending the blue wave of force through your body sending Bucky flying backwards to the wall yet again.
Bucky charged at you throwing punches left and right. You had managed to stop one punch using your telekinesis. A punch he threw with his metal arm which was now being held in place. “Tony!” You shouted holding the males arm up forcefully as hard as you could. Tony seeing what you had planned fired his own energy from the arc reactor tearing away the soldiers arm he used to kill both your parents.
“Daddy! Mommy! Before you leave! I just wanted to say I love you.”
Bucky and Steve both stared dumbfoundedly at the place where his prosthetic arm once was. Steve in horror and Bucky with shock and sadness. Within a matter of seconds the Stark siblings were back on the attack. You had focused your energy into your right leg trying to stomp Bucky’s head. He however was managing to dive and dodge them all.
“Ou! How about when you get back we can have a family movie night?”
Feeling irritated you felt an unspeakable amount of force push through your veins. A feeling you’d never felt before. You held your palms out towards Bucky only expecting the usual small amount of blue energy to push him down. However this amount came from your rage and adrenaline so it was much more than a little. Bucky was sent on the opposite side of the small area where you were fighting at. “Bucky!” Steve shouted trying his best to get Tony to give him an opening.
“Tony, (Y/n) you're too young to understand this right now, so I thought I would put it on film for you. I built this for you. And some day you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than people's inventions, it represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time.”
Whatever force you had used drained Bucky of what little energy he had so he laid on his back against the cold ground. He didn’t have the power to fight anymore and quite frankly he didn’t want to. He’s always been fighting. He figured if he had to die he would rather die by your hands than anyone else’s. In the matter of seconds you were on top of him. The beautiful shade of (E/C) eyes were gone from your eyes and was replaced by the bright neon blue before him. Your beautiful (S/C) skin was covered in sweat, a few cuts, bruises, and the dark black vein that cracked the right side of your face.
“But one day you'll both figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world.”
“We never got to say goodbye!” You seethed making him stare at you in horror. He simply wanted you to kill him already. Death to him would’ve been better than hearing what his actions had caused. “They never got to see us grow up!! They’ll never get to see us get married! They never...” Your blue force began forming around your hands that were gripping his jacket collar tightly. “They’ll never get to hear us say we loved them one last time... AND ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!” You shouted lifting your right hand filled with bright blue energy to punch his face in as he did to your father.
“What is, and always will be, my greatest creation... is the two of you.”
Your hand stopped a centimeter away from Bucky’s face. Now with all traces of blue energy gone from you completely. Your eyes were back to their regular color, the back vein slowly began to vanish as you stared down at the man who looked as confused as you did. Your palm was shaking with rage. You wanted nothing more than to kill him yet....
“You make me feel everything again.”
“I can’t do it.” You whispered out in defeat slouching down to be sitting on Bucky’s midsection. Your eyes began to fill with tears again as you lowered your hand to lay gently on the side of Bucky’s face. “I want you dead but I can’t do it myself. The thought of Tony or anyone else killing you makes my heart hurt and my head spin. I-I can’t...” you whispered out before crying all over again. Bucky leaned his face into your palm letting his only arm left wrap around your leg reassuringly.
“ ‘till the end of the line.”
The sound of a loud cracking sound caught your attention forgetting you two weren’t alone. When you turned your head you expected Tony to be winning but the sight before you made your heart skip a few beats. Cap had his shield raised looking as if he was going to plant it right on Tony’s face which was exposed. Tony had blood smeared on his face and his only way to defend himself was his armored arm which was barley able to stay up. “CAPTAIN NO!!” You screamed simultaneously as the man brought the shield down to impale the arc reactor. “TONY!”
“Keep an eye on your brother and make sure he doesn’t get himself killed.”
You rushed over to your bother cradling him helping him off the ground to lay on your lap. “I’m so sorry Tony. I-I couldn’t do it.” You whisperered holding onto him tighter making the man chuckle at your words. “Me either.” Your attention went straight to Cap and Bucky who were now both limping away. As to where they were going you didn’t know nor did you want to. You couldn’t bring yourself to kill either of them but it didn’t mean all was forgiven. It was far from it.
“Our father made that shield Ca.. Steve!” You shouted making the duo freeze. Both shocked at the fact you had called Steve by his first name which was something you’d never done. You had the most respect for Steve. You had always admired him and even wanted to be just like him when you were a little girl, you had never even called him Cap’ but now he was just Steve.
“You don’t deserve that shield!” Tony shouted making the former captain lower his head. The shield that symbolized more than freedom was thrown on the cold ground making an echo. Without another word both Bucky and Steve walked into the abandoned building. Bucky turned to glance at you one last time taking in an image of you like this to remind himself just how much he didn’t deserve you. But he was a selfish man and had slipped something into your back pocket when you were sitting on top of him.
Inside of your back pocket was a ring that you’d find later, which again would bring you nothing but tears. A reminder that the first person you’ve loved was the same person who deserved nothing less of what he’d done onto others. You placed your head onto Tony’s arc reactor hugging the only person who you felt you had left. Tony never knew what to do in these situations so he only rubbed the back of your head softly. Something your mother would do to get you to stop crying.
For the first time since your parents had died you two felt completely and utterly alone.
“What is, and always will be, my greatest creation... is the two of you.”
