WHAT

[dolcid]

Why are you doing this?

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Sharon Carter

Summary: Bucky finds out that Sharon is in a rather grey area

A/N: Bucky and Sam don't know Sharon is the power broker, and Sharon wears a mask so yeah

♡

"Have you heard?" Sam asked, leaning against his sister's counter, slowly sipping his coffee.

"Heard what?" Bucky replied looking towards the man.

"There's supposedly, a new villain that has been doing some pretty shady stuff involving the government" Sam explains, watching as Bucky shifts in his seat.

"And?"

"And, it requires our attention"

Bucky sighed, petting the newly adopted kitten, Alpine, in his lap.

"Today's our day off" Bucky argues, scratching the kittens chin.

"Heroes don't get days off, Buck" Sam says placing his coffee onto the counter.

"We gotta do something, the government has personally requested us" Sam again, explains grabbing his shield. Bucky groans and reluctantly removes the white furball off his lap.

"Let's suit up then"

The clicking of buttons were all that was heard inside the small facility. Sharon, now called the Power Broker, had gotten a full pardon and was planning to destroy the government from the inside out. Of course, she knew what she was doing was risky, and even thinking of Bucky's reaction brought a frown to her face. Don't stop now, she thinks shaking off the sad thought. One final click to the keyboard and Sharon has what she needs, the government's codes. Taking the harddrive out, she places it into her belt. Not before hearing footsteps come her way.

"So, this is what the government needs help with?" Captain America questions amusedly. Sharon freezes, knowing that Sam, her friend is underneath the mask. Don't lose focus, she tells herself.

"You don't look that threatening to me," Bucky steps out from behind Sam, folding his arms.

"You don't know half of what I can do" Sharon says, her mask providing a deeper voice.

"Same goes for you, we're bringing you in" Sam says, Sharon sighing in her head.

"Good Luck"

All of a sudden Sharon grabs a knife and throws it towards Sam, and while he deflects it, Sharon slides onto the ground and trips him from underneath. Bucky jumps into action, slamming his fist where Sharon once was, but she's too fast. Sharon doesn't want to hurt them, so she simply catches them off guard and makes a run for it. Although she knows they don't give up easily. Hearing them behind her, Sharon pulls out her taser gun and shoots Sam leaving him staggered. Bucky, however she can't bring herself to shoot, and instead dodges his swing. Bucky notices, and stops looking at her confusedly. Sharon frowns but remembers the task at hand. Tripping him, she makes another run for it all the while cloaking herself. Once Sam catches up to Bucky, he groans.

"She's quick" Bucky explains, still on the ground.

"So you lost her?" Sam asks, lifting his partner too his feet.

"She seemed to hesitate though, I don't know why"

"Think we know her?" Sam asks, placing his shield onto his back. Bucky stares where she once stood.

"Maybe"

Over the next few days, this Power Broker has gotten away with government information, that Sam and Bucky both assured to get all back, somehow. So the two head to someone they know can help them, or so they believe.

"Bucky? Sam? What brings you two here?" Sharon asks, stepping aside to let them in.

"Hey Sharon, we need some help" Sam says, a determined look on his face. Sharon curses in her head, nodding to them.

"With what?" She asks, smiling. "Hang on Sam, I gotta greet my girl first don't I?" Bucky interrupts, bringing Sharon into an embrace. Sharon welcomes it, missing his touch.

"I missed you doll" Bucky says, kissing her temple. Sharon smiles sadly into his shoulder.

"I missed you too Buck, how have things been?" She asks. Bucky sighs, and she knows exactly why.

"Do you remember the Power Broker?" He asks, she nods.

"Well, they're back and stealing from the government," he starts "which is why we need your help" Sharon's mind goes blank, not knowing what to do or say.

"Doll?"

"I'll do my best" she replies.

A few hours after Sam and Bucky left, Sharon resides in her apartment, conflicted. She's surprised she didn't give it away that she was in fact the Power Broker. She hated the name. But it's what people called her. Sighing exasperatedly, Sharon wipes a hand down her face and curses. Why did they have to be going after her? she needed this information. After what the government did to her, she doesn't know if she can ever forgive them. Giving her a full pardon was a start but, why should she forgive them? They made her life over the past 5 years a living hell, now she could finally give it back to them.

Suiting up, Sharon exited from her apartment window and immediately got to work. She hated going against her friends, especially her lover but, they would never understand.

Breaking into yet another small facility, Sharon hacked the surveillance cameras and headed inside. Once inside, she stealthily took out the guards and placed her trusty harddrive into the computer system. Before she could pull it out, a hand stopped her.

"Sharon?" It was Bucky. And he knew it was her.

Sharon stayed silent, and Bucky gently took her mask off, revealing the women he loved so much. Bucky's face immediately dropped.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked her, still grasping her hand.

"How did you know it was me?" She questioned him, watching as he plucked a tracer off her back. Sharon paled. She fucked up. Bucky frowned and took her other hand into his own.

"Sharon, I don't understand, you-you got a full pardon didn't you? Why are you doing this?" He asked her again. Her eyes painfully shut.

"Them pardoning me means nothing compared to what I had to do for the last five years. They made me leave everything I had behind to start fresh, all while you and the avengers got the protection I needed" she explained, watching as he looked down ashamed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked softly, looking up at her. Sharon sighed, hating those puppy eyes he gave her.

"You would never understand my reasons Bucky" She says sadly.

"Sharon, you know fully that I do understand, I have been on the run for most of my life until people wanted to help me, Steve, Sam, Wakanda, but most importantly you," Bucky starts, placing his hands onto her cheeks.

"You have been there for me every step of the way even when you knew I was dangerous, and I'm so glad that you were because I fell in love so hard with you I never want to turn back, nothing will ever make me turn back" Bucky explains to her, placing gentle kisses onto her face.

"I love you Bucky, more than anything, but this is something I have to do" she says stepping back slowly.

"I'm sorry" She says, tears in her eyes as she begins to run away. Bucky nearly breaks at the sight, but he won't give up on her. He loves her and won't stop trying until she knows just how much she means to him.
