Datura - Bucky Barnes

Anecdote

Anecdote-a brief account of something interesting that happened especially to one personally

Flashback, Day 390, Bucky has been trapped with Thea for 8 days

"No way. He did?" I giggle slightly. Bucky and I were talking about one of the guards.

"Yeah. And then he gave up and just ate it, then ran away," he chuckled.

The door opens as a guard and a short man comes in, wearing a pair of glasses. He starts speaking in a nasal voice, "My name is Dr. Zola. I have a proposal for you. One of you two get to leave this cell, while the other stays. You choose who."

Dr Zola points to Bucky. I look at him, but he just stares at the ground. He takes a deep breath and looks at Dr Zola, "I want to leave."

"B-Bucky?" I felt slightly selfish. I was happy for Bucky, he got to leave. But I didn't want to be alone. I was alone for over a year, and now he was leaving me.

He avoids eye contact with me, "I'm sorry."

I don't say anything and Dr Zola signals to the guard, who picks Bucky up. Bucky looks back one last time, "I'll come back and get you. I promise."

Back to normal

He never came back. I sat across from him as he pressed an ice pack to his bleeding nose, Steve sitting in between us, looking pissed.

"Want to tell me what the hell that was Thea?"

"I met this asshole a year after I was kidnapped. HYDRA gave him an option to let either him or me out. He chose himself, promised he would come back and get me, he never did," I glare at him. Was I angry? Fuming. But the anger was just there to cover up the pain.

"I deserved that," Bucky looks at me.

Steve starts yelling at Bucky, "You met my sister, and you didn't tell me? What the hell Bucky!"

Bucky got up and matched Steve's volume, "I didn't know it was her!"

"You left her there!" Steve takes a step towards Bucky.

I get up and step between them, pushing them away from each other, "Both of you shut up! There are much more important matters at hand. For example, oh I don't know, the fact that HYDRA still thinks I'm under their control and that I'm on a mission to kill Stevie?!"

Despite the tense situation, Tony chuckles, "Stevie. I love that."

Everyone breaks into a fit of laughter and Steve rolls his eyes, "Okay shut up."

I sigh, "I'm gonna go train."

The woman with short, red hair stands up, "I'll join you."

I nod and we walk to the elevator. I turn back around and look at Stevie and Bucky, "No fighting or I'll come down here and beat both of your asses without hesitating."

I walk with the lady. I need a name for her, "So. What's your name?"

"Natasha. You can call me Nat," she replies.

"Okay Nat. Do you want to spar?" I ask her. She nods and grabs two staffs, handing me one.

We spar for a good half hour when we decide to stop, "You're good. Wanna call a tie?"

I nod, panting, "I like you. You're a good partner."

We do some more training exercises and talk for a while, when Bucky comes up. Nat looks at me, winks, then leaves. I roll my eyes, "What do you want Bucky?"

He reaches out to grab my hands and I lightly finch. He stares at my eyes with his ice blue ones, "Im sorry Thea. I really am. I was young and dumb and I should have helped you. I'm sorry."

I force a small smile and remove my hands from his, "You did what you had to do."

I walk away from him, going to my room. I could NOT deal with this shit right now. As I leave, I hear Bucky sigh in frustration behind me.

Aw, does he feel bad? Shouldn't have left me there like an ass.

I head to bed but Tony stops me, "Hey."

"Do you need something?" I ask him.

"Just wondering, do you have powers or anything? Manchurian Candidate over there came back with a metal arm, so just checking."

"No, but I'm trained, really good with a knife and a gun. And without a huge suit that does everything for me," I raise a brow.

Tony scoffs, "Anyone can shoot a gun or throw a knife."

Bitch? Please. I grab the knife on my waist and send it flying past his ear, and it lands on the eye of a painting.

"Not as good as me, no one can."

Tony looks at me up and down, "Damn. That suit is hot."

I give him a disgusted look. I forgot how annoying men are. Tony's eyes travel to my boobs and lock there. I smack the back of his head, "Seriously? Eyes up here, asshole."

He rubs the back of his head, "Geez."

I look down at my suit, "Oh can you ask Nat to get me some clothes?"

"Yup," he walks away and with that, I lie down on my fluffy bed and wait for Nat. My mind drifts to a particular man. His icy blue eyes, the stubble decorating his perfect jawline, his long dark brown locks.

God he's hot.

I shake the thoughts out of my head as I hear a knock on the door, revealing Nat pushing a huge wardrobe. I help her get it inside, "Here's your clothes."

"Thanks."

She leaves and I change into a pair of PJ's.

I crawl into bed and go to sleep, thinking of Bucky, once again.
