You weren’t exactly sure what had happened to you in the last year, to be exact the last 14 months when everything went so wrong. After the whole catastrophe with Thanos and losing many people in the process, you sort of didn’t have an idea on how to cope with that loss. You didn’t have anyone after Tony died.
He was like a brother you never had. But then you had Sam and Bucky, you thought that was enough. You didn’t need anyone else. Things were running smoothly, stable. It was you three.
Sam was your best friend.
Bucky was everything.
You deeply cared about both men so much, you all had lost people and gone through hell in your lives. But in this line of work, you understand what it meant to be a protector and people needed you.
So you had to make a choice. Even though it hurt you to even consider to get between them, you knew what it had to be.
Sam was the right choice. Right?
Sam had told that Ross had wanted him to re build the avengers. Past you would had many flaws and comments about that but it was Sam that would lead them. You knew he would be great. He obviously asked if you’d join his team and you of course obliged.
Then as he told Bucky, you only came to realize that he would be joining a new team called the “New Avengers.” Oh how that stinged.
Sam was distraught and betrayed by his best friend. Ross showed you the media report as he told you two that extreme measures needed to be taken. You groaned internally at this ‘War’ that it would create between each side.
So there you were, on the hard floor laying down. Just gazing up on the ceiling, biting your bottom lip slightly but enough to feel a little blood from your nerves that were pumping.
You felt the steps of a certain someone. He took a seat down on the floor and laid the same way, turning his head to see your face.
“This is about to turn to shit. You know that?”
Sam nodded, his face not changing.
He let out a loud sigh, his brows slightly raised. He understands what was about to happen but he couldn’t help but feel so hurt by Bucky.
“Well, i got you. Don’t I?”
Your mouth slightly raising, “Yeah, always.”
Sam leaned in and gave your cheek a quick kiss, watching him leave to go do business with Joaquin.
Bucky was a mess.
You left him. You couldn’t do it anymore, he made his choice pretty clear and so you needed to do the same. If you chose Sam then that meant you couldn’t be with Bucky anymore.
You were a nervous wreck that night..
You stood in the elevator, waiting for it to ding to show you were there but you were honestly happy that it was taking forever because you didn’t know if you were going to be able to go through with it.
Your heart was pumping, your left hand feeling a little numb. But that was just your nerves and they were shit.
You had a little liquid courage. Maybe that would help. Probably not.
The elevator doors opened and dinged and you saw that it was empty, you took a step forward. Bucky who was standing in front of the island, making a drink for himself as it looked since he was alone.
Sliding the alcohol, he drank it.
His eyes met yours as he licked his lips. He sort of relief seeing you, “Hey, doll.” He whispered gently looking at your emotional presence, your smile faded, eye lids heavy and just looking so exhausted.
“What’s wrong?” Reaching over to grab your hand but you refused him to hold you. You backed up, “Don’t.” You muttered, looking down to refuse to meet his gaze.
Bucky’s brows creasing, a slight frown appearing. Confused, “What?”
“I can’t do this. We need to break up.”
Your lip already quivered, you felt the tears already forming but stay on the bottom of your eyes clearly refusing to fall.
“No. What are you saying? Did Sam put you up-”
“No! You jerk. This is all me, I can’t be with you if you are going to do this. You hurt him.” The tears already streaming, making your vision blurry.
Bucky shook his head. “Please. Don’t do this.”
“You made your choice. You choose others over us. Your family?”
“I’m sorry.” He whispered.
You wiped the tears with your palm, “I hope they are worth it. Goodbye Buck.”
With that, Bucky grabbed you with all force and smashed his lips onto yours. Pure desperation, he couldn’t let you leave over something like this. The kiss full of lust. For a second, you cave in and started to kiss back with the same desire but you couldn’t do it. You shoved him back,
“No.. no. Stop.”
The second your lips parted, you let out a breathy sigh, earning for him back but you came here to do something.
“Tell me what to do..” He begged you, his eyes glistening with some sense of hope.
Your lips parted, waiting to say something. “If I said to leave, would you?”
“I can’t leave them. Bob needs us..”
You frowned at the older man, “We needed you. You said we were your family, we were there for you.” A permanent absence memory clearly.
“It’s different-”
“Bullshit. Everything I’ve done was for you, I nearly lost Tony just for you.” You seethed, a sob threatening to escape.
“Then I lost him and I had no one. Then I got you both and now I’m losing you again.”
Deep down Bucky knew the right answer. If it was for you then he’d do anything for you, you knew that but everything changed when he went back to New York.
“Please..” He voice faltering,
“Goodbye, Buck.”
You spoke finally and he just stood in place, not knowing what to say to you to help you or himself. There was no fixing what had broken, it was more then just Sam.
You started to walk the other direction as you met the eyes of 5 other people. Sensing they were the new team, your gaze turned into a unrecognizable stare.
You shook your head, that betrayal was worse then anything.
A final farewell, “One last thing. When it comes down and it will. This is a fight you won’t win and I don’t care who I hurt.”
The blonde and Brunette stepped forward, “Don’t worry. We got each other." Giving you a hard glare.
You chuckled incredulously, “How sweet.”
“You don’t have to do this.” John Walker spoke to you, a sort of understanding that he knew.
“See ya. Whenever that is..” you spoke before stopping and seeing one person, “And who are you?”
He looked up, nervously pointing. “Uh, me? I’m Bob.”
“Bob. Huh, see ya Bob.”
lifting up, you soon vanished away.
All eyes now turned to Bucky who had gulped down another glass of his choice of liquor.
Bucky, Yelena, John and Ava all walked out back in the new Avengers tower, “But we are the Avengers. The government said so.” Yelena spoke out.
“How does Sam Wilson not understand that?”
“Well, he does have the shield.” Bucky replied.
“I have a shield also.” John stated.
“It’s not a shield.” He retorted.
“It is a shield- It’s a shitty shield.”
“Great shield, Bucky.” John added before rolling his eyes.
Yelena groaned, “Okay. If he,” pausing before saying your name slowly, “put together a team then they call themselves the Avengers. Then who are the real avengers?”
Ava shook her head as Bucky eyed her since he still was dealing with losing you. It had been so difficult without you.
“Well, that’s the question the internet has been asking. And judging by the nasty memes I’ve read.. they don’t think it’s us.” John sighed sadly.
Yelena turned back to Bucky, “Weren’t you going to talk to him?”
“I already did.” He blankly spoke.
“And?”
“It went poorly.”
“And did you try to talk to her?” She gently asked.
“Yeah, she wants nothing to do with me. Nothing I can do.” Bucky blinked. Averting his eyes towards the floor.
“Great going.” Ava replied, “If you two didn’t have to say anything then she’d probably-”
“She thinks I chose you guys over her and I kind of did.”
“Do you regret being on our team?” John added hesitantly.
“No. I just miss her, like alot.”
Getting many sympathetic looks his way as he looked away, John nodded quickly.
“Look. I can help you find someone- I don’t want anyone.” He seethed shoving him harshly.
“Your track record is pretty awful.” Ava spoke truthfully.
“Shut up. I hate you all.”
Right in came Alexei, wearing an atrocious outfit like he was a nascar driver or something. “Hello, team.” Grinning at them.
Bucky groaned at his outfit, “What the hell are you wearing?”
“I heard about Wilson and your not girl anymore. They are dumb.”
“But, me, I’m smart, I’m smart man. I have smart solve.”
Yelena opened her mouth in disbelief.
“A-V-ENGER-Z! Avengers with a Z! There is no copyright.” Looking to see the approval from the team but no one liked it at all.
“Look- Feel. Like a baby seal.”
Bucky got up abruptly, Yelena looked up.
“Where are you going?”
“To go fix this.”
Bucky had not gotten far clearly as he saw you in the hall. Face clearly upset from possible tears you had fallen,
“Bucky..”
“Doll..”
You ran directly towards him as he opened his arms openly, you wrapped your arms around his neck . You both stayed there until you were forced to move. You couldn’t do it anymore, you were so alone and he was your light.
“I’m sorry.” You mumbled in his neck.
“No, I’m sorry. I love you and I’m sorry for making you feel the opposite.”
You sighed, “I don’t want you guys to fight. I love you both.”
He nodded, “I know, baby. I know.”
You leaned back, “Can you please just try to talk to him? He agreed to hear you.”
“Yes.”
You smiled, in response you leaned in immediately peppering him with kisses, on his nose, many on his cheek, jaw, forehead.
“Thank.” Kiss “You.” Kiss. “I.” Kiss. “Love.” Kiss. “You.”
Bucky chuckled at the many kisses and gave you a long and passionate kiss. We’ll make out session as she brought you in a supply closet that night.
-
“Huh. You think they made up?” John asked.
There you were laying on top of Bucky, his breathing easing you up each time. Snuggled up together, Bucky having his arm wrapped around your back as you sighed happily in your sleep.
“No shit.”
“Aw, they are adorable.”
“Shut up. You are gonna wake them.”
“Just one picture-”
“No- my bad.”
You woke up to the shutter noise and started to groan at the loss of sleeping and your man’s warmth.
Bucky groaned. “You got 20 seconds.”
“What- wait Bucky. Too late.”
Bucky then had gotten up and chased them as you sat up and saw Bob who was reading his book.
“Hey Bob.”
“Heyy.” Waving at you so innocently. Oh boy.
