I love Bucky. Just imagine youâre the softest thing in his life, the only thing heâs really worried about breaking.
Maybe heâs so scared about fucking up that he asks the others to help. Before you know it, heâs sitting at the table in the living room at the tower or the compound, Tonyâs camera feed up on the monitor, and theyâre all discussing how to deal with you.
Maybe they decide itâs good enrichment for Bucky; heâs had a hard go of things lately, what with all the torture, and maybe having someone softer to take care of will help.
Like, youâre basically a glorified pet.
So, Natasha breaks into your house and fucking threatens you or something, or maybe youâre so starstruck she doesnât even have to. Maybe you just straight up follow her because she says itâs an Avengers thing (â˘) and you believe her because hey, itâs the Black Widow, she wouldnât lie, sheâs one of the good guys!
Anyways, they bring you back, and they give you the Talk. You know, no escaping, no leaving, stay with Bucky, behave, donât try to hurt anyone, the works. And youâre just. I donât even know, I can see you kinda being like WTF? But itâs not like you can leave, itâs the Avengers.
And maybe they justify it like, hey, weâre the Avengers, donât we deserve nice things? We save the world every day, we need something for us. They donât even really realize they arenât treating you like a full-blown person.
And Buckyâs just ecstatic. But maybe, some of the old Bucky shines through, and he starts to treat you in like this kinda condescending way. Like, he doesnât let you shower on your own or make your own food or feed yourself. He sees you as super helpless, and everyone else is so proud of his progress they ignore your pleading looks.
And maybe you finally have enough, and you run away and call the police, and they send someone to pick you up from where youâve run. Youâre shaking and panting, no shoes, and you slide into the cop car, all relieved. You think youâve been rescued.
Nope, youâre driven straight back to the Avengers. Turns out they made a deal with Shield; they limit the in-fighting and collateral damage and keep working to save the world, Shield helps them keep you as a little incentive.
Now every time you escape youâve got this massive secret government agency working double time to get you back to keep the Earthâs only defense system intact.
Just imagine how helpless youâd feel. Itâs like the government has completely signed you over, theyâve decided your life isnât worth that much in the grand scheme of things.
