Marvel! One Shots

Arctic Spider

Bucky had been off lately and neither he nor the team knew why. He felt like something was missing, a gap in his life that he didn't know how to fill. If only he had all the pieces of his memory so he knew or at least had an idea of what he needed.

The team was great and he was rid of his horrible trigger words but he knew all his memories weren't in the right place. He found random skills that he could never imagine learning or even needing but he couldn't figure out why he was so out of it these past few days.

That was until the day of a brand new HYDRA mission.

-------------

Peter didn't know how long he'd been here, his life for the past however many years had been a repeat of the same four things. The white padded room, the tiny meals of bread, the plain stiff bed he sleeps on and finally missions. Trips all over the world. Kills everywhere. Death and destruction followed him where ever he went. 

His memories were small in numbers but intense in emotion. Nothing went beyond these walls but the images of a handsome man filled his dreams every night. The love of his life was found in confinement and then he left him all alone. He promised to never leave him and yet he did. Whether he was dead or alive, Peter did not know.  He only hoped he was happy.

He knew his name, he'd remembered it once when he had a break from wiping. The love of his life was called James. When he told Peter that, he'd also warned him to never let them find out he remembered things from before HYDRA. Of course Peter didn't have much to know but if they figured out that he knew his mothers name then they'd take that and James away from him.

He didn't want that.

------------

Bucky was sat listening to the brief on the HYDRA base they were about to raid. They were to sneak as far into the base as they could until they had to fight and then from then on it was give the agents everything they had. Nat was on information retrieval as always but as Bucky was looking at the surveillance pictures he felt like he should accompany her.

"Hey I think I should go with Natasha"

"Why? Nat can handle herself and we need you to help take out the agents Buck"

"I know that and I don't have a clue why but something is telling me that there's something there that I know, something only I can do"

"Okay then, you can go with Nat but make sure you can help us if we need"

With that the team set off to get suited up and on to the quin jet. 

Peter was asleep when it happened or that's what the agents thought anyway, really he was thanking the Gods that they took the cameras out of his room. See what HYDRA didn't know was that every time they sent him on a mission he would bring something back. Well it was actually two things. One he got from his kills like a necklace or a badge. The other from civilian stores that reminded him of the places he'd been.

Some wonder why he would want to be reminded of his kills but collecting two sets of items helps him understand that the killing wasn't his fault. It was his James' idea. The place memories also reminded him of real life outside the facility. Everything he owned was hidden in the perfectly crafted secret compartment in the wall.

When the alarms started blaring Peter was reminiscing amongst his favourite items. He half expected the guards to force him out to fight whatever the problem was but they just ran away from his door.

During the same moments, Nat and Bucky had got into the main control room and were collecting all of the files for this base. Nothing out of the ordinary was happening, Nat was just waiting for the transfer while Bucky was using the cameras to help and warn the team of any agents.

It was running smoothly until he recognised the hallway Stark had just turned down. There were no agents just two metal doors, one painted white, the other red. The flashbacks started, multiple memories surfacing at once, that beautiful face, the young boy, the one he promised to never leave.

"Bucky what's happening? What's wrong?" Nat's voice rang through his ears alerting the others on the comms.

It managed to pull Bucky back just as Stark was about to open the final door.

"Stark don't open the white door!"

"What why?"

"Just please wait for me to get there trust me. I need to be the one to open it"

Tony just huffed, all the agents were gone either dead or run away so waiting wasn't really an issue. The others on the team were all heading to Tony too since they wanted to see what was on the other side of the door. Bucky was the last one there. 

"Buck we need to know what's going on"

"Steve I told you the other day that I'd felt like something was missing, a hole in my memories. Well I just got those memories back and the reason is on the other side of that door"

"What reason?"

He was never more thankful for the HYDRA sound proof doors otherwise Peter would be ready to attack at the sound of so many voices. 

"The love of my life Stevie, that's the reason. HYDRA calls him the Arctic Spider. I guess to most he was my side kick in a way but he was my partner in every aspect of the world. I promised I'd never leave him like everyone else had and I broke that promise which is why I need to go in first"

The team  nodded as Bucky told them to stay quiet for a while. He opened the white door and his eyes fell on the only other person in the room, lent against part of a wall Bucky knew all too well. The position almost made Bucky chuckle if it wasn't for the bruises still resting on his lovers face.

"Do you remember who I am doll?"

"James?"

"It's me sweetheart, I cam back. I'm so sorry I ever left but it's okay now"

Peter's eyes fell of the team behind James and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Who are they James?"

"These are my friends. I told you about one of them once. You remember me telling you about Steve, this is him," he pointed to Steve. "I will introduce you all properly but we have to get going, get you safe. I take it from the way you were standing you still have your things so get those and lets get going."

The avengers were confused for a moment until they watched the boy pull away part of the wall and retrieved a small tote bag by the looks of things that was full to the brim. Of course they wanted to ask questions but like Bucky had said they needed to go. 

On the quin jet was where the introductions occurred:

"So Peter, these are the avengers. They call me Bucky but you can always call me James if you want."

"Hi I'm Peter, that's pretty much all I know about myself"

"Well I'm Natasha but you can call me Nat"

"I'm Clint" that was shouted from the cockpit.

"I'm Thor" that one made Peter jump, he was really loud.

The instructions went on like that, pretty much just everyone's names, all at different volumes and levels of enthusiasm. The last one was Steve.

"Hi I think Buck mentioned me, I'm Steve. I feel like I know you though. Maybe you just remind me of someone"

If only they knew.

This was going to be just a one shot but now I want to make it into a full story so I will be working on that!

Don't worry I will still be doing these one shots!
