Y/n’s POV

I open my eyes and slowly take in my surroundings, I am in the same room I was when I first got here. I get off the bed and see a pile of clothes sitting on a chair in the corner, I pick them up and ask Jarvis to turn the cameras off until I’m done.

Once I’m done I walk out into the hallway and make my way to the kitchen, I hadn’t eaten much while I was at Hydra. I open the fridge, pull out some orange juice and look at the clock that reads 4:00. I feel something touch my shoulder and immediately finch away, I’m surprised they were able to sneak up on me.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you!” Nat says as I turn to face her. I didn't answer and pulled her into a hug. We didn’t say anything for a while, just keeping each other as close as we could.

“I missed you.” Is all I can manage to say before I break down in tears. What I didn’t realize is that she was crying too.

“Hey kid” I pulled away from Nat and ran over to Tony hugging him just as tight as I hugged Nat.

“Want some pancakes?” he asks and I nod but don’t let go.

“The others should be up in a couple of hours.” Natasha says to me as she gets out ingredients.

“ok” Tony pulls us both down onto the couch and holds me close.

“When was the last time you slept?” I ask him.

“When was the last time you did?”

“Fair point”

“I missed you kid”

“I’m 16... or am I 17? How long was I there?” 

“About 2 months”

“I’m 17 then”

“Wow 17”

“Yeah… You should try getting some sleep”

“And why should I?”

“Because you look like shit”

“Language” I let go of Tony and ran over to Steve and hugged him just like I did to Tony and Nat.

“How do you feel?” He asked as he looked down at me, returning the hug.

“Tired”

“How can you be tired? You were out for about 2 to 3 days after we brought you back.”

“At Least it wasn’t 70 years” Tony who is still sitting on the couch bursts out laughing and Steve chuckles.

“As much as we want to keep you all to ourselves we should let everyone know that you're awake” Nat tells me as she places two large plates of pancakes on the table.

“M’kay” is all I say, keeping my arms locked around Steve.

“Jarvis wake everyone up and tell them there's an emergency in the kitchen” Nat says to the AI.

“Yes miss” Within 5 munites Clint is down with his bow in his hand, Thor with his hammer, Loki with his daggers, and Bruce behind them.

“What's the emergency?!” Clint asks.

“Yes Lady Natasha, I believe you-” Thor stops mid sentence when I rap my arms around him.

“Hello Lady Y/n” He says as he hugs me back.

“I want a hug!” Clint wines as he puts his bow away and Loki makes his daggers disappear. I hug Thor for a bit longer and hug Clint.

“I’m glad we got you back, Y/n” He says after I pull away.

“Me too” I give him a small smile and walk over to Loki. He raises an eyebrow as I approach him. 

“Thank you for helping get me back,” I say and then pull him into a hug. Everyone stands there watching as he slowly returns the hug.

“I haven’t been hugged in a while…” He says mostly to himself but I was close enough to hear. He clears his throat “It was nothing” Is all he says but doesn’t quite let go of the hug yet.

“I don’t think saving my life is nothing” I say, hugging him a little longer before I pull away and sit next to Tony who was fighting to keep his eyes open.

“Take a nap Tony” I command

“Fine” he mumbles before he lets his eyes close and falls asleep. "That was easier than I thought it would be..."

“Did you get Bucky?” I ask Loki who nods.

“We did, he’s in a containment cell down stairs-” Clint starts.

“What? Why?” I ask him clearly, angry.

“He's the one who took you!” 

“Shhhhhhh” I shush him then point to the sleeping Tony.

“He's the one who took you!” he whispers.

“He didn’t have a choice!” I whisper back.

“But he still took you! Have you seen how many kills he has!?” He whisper yells

“Yes, I have! I was told if I didn’t cooperate I would be torchered by one of Hydras greatest assassins and then I was shown the videos of what he did to his victims! But that was the Winter Soldier not Bucky, two very different people!” I whisper yell back at him.

“He still hurt you!” he whispers again.

“Didn’t you hurt Nat when you were mind controlled? How is this any different?” I whisper ask him. He stays quiet.

“I’m going to go speak to him” I say then quietly stomp out. I use the stairs and walk to where we keep the containment cells. I look in each of them and find the one he is in.

“Are you ok?” I ask as I open the door and sit next to him.

“I’m fine,” he replies.

“We both know your lying”

“I am fine, this place is better than Hydra already”

“They should have given you a guest bedroom not a cell.”

“I should be in a cell... I’ve killed so many people I don’t deserve a second chance.”

“The Winter Soldier killed those people, not you. He is not you and you are not him, once the others see that they’ll start trusting you and when you see that maybe... you will be able to trust yourself too. Don’t give up hope on yourself, I’m sure Steve wouldn’t appreciate that” I wink at him and he chuckles.

“You're pretty wise for a 16 year old” he says giving me a smile, a real one.

“17” I correct him.

We talk and make jokes, he tells me the stories about Steve that he remembers and I tell him about my time with the avengers plus Loki. I really hope I’m able to see this side of Bucky more often and hopefully the others will see this side too.
