AN:I PROMISE I PUT THIS UP ON THE RIGHT DAY, IM JUST A WHOLE ASS IDIOT AND FORGOT TAGS AND THE TAGLIST LMAOOOOOO
Bucky stayed with you all night, his chest to your back, all of this felt like a hazy dream. You had spent the past year without him, without the only thing that made your prison life slightly bearable. You woke up the next morning to Bruce checking your chart and adjusting your medication, years spent in a cold, damp cell had done a number on your immune system.
“Good morning (Name), Bucky will be here shortly to show you to your room. You’re still gonna need to take antibiotics for the next two weeks but there’s no need to keep you under my watch anymore.”
“Hey uh-Bruce, I was wondering if I could shower?”
“Oh, well Bucky’s out on a run with Steve and Sam but if you’re comfortable I’m sure Wanda or Natasha could come help if you’d like.”
“FRIDAY, Send Wanda or Natasha to the clinic please.”
After Bruce had disconnected all the monitors and IVs 2 women walked into the room.
“This is Natasha”, Bruce gestured to a woman with short red hair, “and this is Wanda” he addressed the brunette.
“You needed us?” Wanda questioned in a vaguely Europen accent.
“Yes, (Name) wanted to shower and I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help?”
“Of course.” Natasha smiled and helped you out of the bed. You wobbled a little because it had been a while since you actually walked. She supported you until you could walk on your own. They led you to a door on the other side of the clinic, “Get undressed and get in and we’ll go grab you some clothes and shower stuff.”
You slipped the loose fitting hospital gown off and looked at yourself in the mirror. How long had it been since you’d seen your own reflection?
They locked you in a room of mirrors. Some type of psychological test they said. The silence was deafening. You could hear the blood rushing through your body. The first hour or so was filled with screams for help, begging them to let you out. How long had it been? You didn’t know. It was always bright in the room, you couldn’t tell night from day. All you could do was stare at your own reflection. Your once (skin tone) had lost all life, taking a sort of grey undertone. Your (hair type & color) was unkempt and dirty. Your (eye color) eyes were basically hollow. You were losing whatever sanity they hadn’t already robbed you off.
You felt a hand touch your shoulder and you jumped back.
“Are you alright? You’ve been staring at yourself for a long time.” Wanda looked at you with concern.
“Yeah, yeah I’m, I’m fine. Just guess I haven’t seen my reflection in a while. I forgot what I looked like.”
“Well here are your clothes and a towel ”, She sat down what she was carrying with a smile, “and this is your shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. Anything else you need have FRIDAY put it on the shopping list and I’m sure Happy can pick it up next time he goes shopping. Bucky will be here soon.”
“No problem, (Name). I’m here if you need me.”
As you stepped under the stream off water your muscles immediately relaxed on contact with the heat. You hadn’t had a hot shower or a shower in years. The shampoo had a relaxing lavender scent. As you washed your hair you could feel the years of built up dirt fading away. It almost felt like they years of abuse were being washed out of your brain but it could never be that easy.
You stepped out of the shower and dried your body off before putting on the clothes Wanda brought. A pair of black leggings and a red Henley shirt. You walked out of the bathroom and were greeted by Bucky sitting on your bed smiling at you.
“Uh-Maybe? Wanda brought it to me. Do you want it back?”
“No keep it, it looked better on you anyways. Ready to go to your room?”
“Yeah, I guess.” He took your hand and led you down the hall to an elevator.
“We’re on the same floor, so I’m nearby if you need me.” He pressed the button to the 6th floor.
“We have a kitchen, Den, and a bathroom on our floor but we usually hangout in the main living room and kitchen. Wanda is the best cook so she usually handles dinner.”
The elevator door opened to a beautiful den with a giant floor to ceiling window with a beautiful view of the city.
“There are lots of snacks in the kitchen and if you don’t like any of those FRIDAY can put whatever you do want on Happy’s list.”
“She’s Tony’s weird robot assistant thing. It was Jarvis at one point but Jarvis is kind of a living person thing robot now and he’s dating Wanda. It’s a little weird but you get used to it. This is your room.”
The walls were empty and there was a huge bed in the middle and a desk in the corner.
“I know it’s not much but tomorrow I’ll take you to buy some clothes and stuff to decorate it.”
“Anything’s better than that cell.” You sat on your bed. It was soft, maybe to soft after spending the last few years sleeping on a pad on the floor.
“You get used to it, I think Wanda and Steve are cooking breakfast if you'd like to get something to eat?”
“I’m starving.” You got up and stood in front of Bucky looking into his blue eyes.
“I missed you so much, thank you for coming back for me.”
“I never stopped looking for you. I needed you back in my arms and now that I have you back, I’m not losing you again.”
