Bucky Barnes Imagines

Chapter 1: Retrieval

(The avengers new facility, Upstate New York.)

I woke up this morning, the sun shining gently on my face through the white linin curtain. I turned to my side and looked at my clock. 5:20am. I rolled out of bed and got changed into my training clothes. I pulled on my trainers and opened my bedroom door, making my way down the corridor of the living quarters in the new avengers base. I had been living here fulltime since it was built, along with Steve, Wanda, Nat, Sam and Vision. Occasionally Thor and Loki would stop by, Peter would stay during summer, Tony would drop by sometimes too.

Once I got to the training centre, I decided I would begin with a warm-up then some boxing. I put by headphones in and began my playlist.

*Time Skip*

After I finished my boxing, I tidied up the room and made my way outside to start my run. Once I got out the living quarters, I started my run. I ran 8 miles, and on my last lap, I heard feet beating against the ground, getting closer every second. I instinctively rolled my eyes as I heard a clear "on your left!" as Steve passed me. "Yes, thank you Steve" I shouted after him sarcastically, dragging out the 'e' in his name. Every morning.

I made my way to back to the living quarters, smiling at the other agents and avengers. When I got back to my room, I made my way into the shower.

Once I finished in the shower, I heard FRIDAY announce "Miss Y/L/N, Director Fury has requested yours and the other avengers presence in the meeting room in the main building block" "Thank you FRIDAY" I replied. I changed into my tailored black trousers, leather top and blazer. I pulled on my black boots and walked to the main building block. (PHOTO ABOVE)

Once I arrived at the meeting room, I sat down next to Wanda and Sam. As Fury began briefing us all I noticed that Steve was missing. Must be on another mission, I thought.

*Time Skip to the Quinjet on the way back from the mission*

"Hey Sam?" I questioned as I turned to look at him. He tilted his head up, acknowledging me. "Why wasn't Steve at the briefing today, I saw him on my run but he didn't turn up to the meeting, I thought everyone was required to be there?" I inquired. Sam looked at me and said, "Apparently he had to go retrieve something from a previous mission". I nodded my head and went back to sitting silently.

*Time Skip to the living quarters of the Avengers Base*

I changed out of my suit into jeans and a plain white t-shirt. I walked into the kitchen and began to make myself a coffee. As I waited for it to brew, I looked around the living area. Wanda and Vision were sat on the couch watching TV together, Nat was sat at the table poking her food with a fork whilst flipping through a magazine, while Sam kicked his feet up on the kitchen island's chair. Bruce sat at the table near Nat, fixing RedWing with Rhodey.

After my coffee brewed, I took my cup and kicked Sam's feet off the seat and sat down next to him. He glared at me playfully. I smiled back sweetly in retaliation. I sipped on my coffee as I spun around on the chair.

I heard the doors the entrance of the building open and FRIDAY say, "Welcome back Mr Rogers". I heard Steve reply, and his footsteps begin to approach the living space. I looked at Sam and turned when I sensed Steve arrive at the doorway. "Everyone, I would like you to meet someone" Steve announced to the room. "Finally brought a girl home then Steve" mocked Nat. "Very funny Romanoff. No, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Bucky" Steve declared, as he gestured to a tall man dressed in all black stood slightly behind him. The man walked into the room after Steve. Bruce stood up and stepped forward with Rhodey, both taking turns to shake his hand. Nat nodded her head in his direction, acknowledging his presence in the room. Wanda and Vision walked up to him from the couch, taking turns to shake his hand too. "Hello Mr Barnes" said Vision, Wanda smiling from behind him. Sam turned to look at him and mirrored Nat's action while saying "Hey Man.". I stood up from my chair and walked over to him, smiling. I extended my hand and he took it, shaking it firmly but gently. I noticed his hand was gloved. Weird. I looked up at him, his eyes meeting mine for a split second before dropping his gaze back to the floor. I stepped back and picked up my coffee again, taking a long sip as Steve explained Bucky's backstory. Apparently he was just back from Wakanda where his was on respite from his experience with Hydra.

After Steve finished talking and answering everyones' questions, he took Bucky to his new room.

I sat back down next to Sam. "So, you've clearly met him before" I stated, looking him in the eye. "Yes, back when his was being mind-controlled." Sam said, in a monotone voice he added "He tried to kill me". A smile tugged at my lips from his bluntness. I nodded slowly and smugly, resisting my smile.

Sam was one of my closest friends, I got on well with everyone, but Sam and I met before I was officially an avenger. He was assigned to a mission and I was there as a third-party member. We both were after the same guy, and the mission was successful, and not to brag but largely due to me. He told the rest of the avengers about me and they recruited me. I loved it with the avengers and I never wished for anything more. I finished my coffee and left the kitchen, heading back to my room.

*Time Skip to around 9pm*

I was led in my room reading my book when FRIDAY announced to me "Hello Miss Y/L/N, Mr Stark wanted to tell you and the others that he will be arriving tomorrow with a new recruit for avengers training. He requested that you would train the new recruit personally." I felt a bit taken a back. What sort of recruit would need training from me? "Ok FRIDAY, thank you" I replied. Just as I was about to go back to reading I heard FRIDAY speak again "And Miss Romanoff wanted to tell you that movie and games night is on tonight". "Thanks FRIDAY, could you tell her I'll be there?" I asked. "Of course, Miss Y/L/N".

*Time Skip to movie and games night*

I walked into the living space, almost everyone was here except Vision, Steve and Bucky. I sat down next to Sam at the bar, with Nat serving him a drink. I smiled as Nat asked me what drink I'd like, "I'll have a gin please, Nat". Nat began serving me as Wanda happily walked over to us with 5 board games in her arms, "I'm so excited for tonight! Movie and Games night is my favourite night!" Wanda rambled happily, a hint of alcohol on her breath. I smiled widely at her as she skipped over to the seating area again. "I love how happy these nights make her" I laughed. "The alcohol probably helps too" chuckled Sam as we all watched her set up the first game on the coffee table in the centre of the seating area.

A few minutes later, everyone was in the room, and Wanda called out loudly "Everyone sit down for the first game!", Sam, Nat and I walked over to the couches and sat down.

After a few games, and many drinks, we decided to tidy the games away and stick on a movie. We moved the couches around to face the large TV on the wall. Bruce and Nat sat together, Vision and Wanda sat together, Sam, Rhodey and myself sat next to each other and then Steve sat down next to me with Bucky following him. After the first movie, Wanda and Vision left, so did Nat, Bruce and Rhodey as they had a mission together in the morning. Now it was just Sam, Steve, Bucky and I left. I stood up and put on another movie, as I turned back around I saw that Steve had moved into my seat as Sam showed him something on his phone. I shrugged my shoulders subtly and sat next to Bucky. I felt him gently tense for a moment before relaxing.

*Time Skip to the end of the movie*

We all stood up from the couch, making our way to our rooms. Slightly intoxicated, me and Sam giggling at each other as Steve guided us whilst smiling to our rooms. Being super soldiers, it took very strong alcohol to get them even just tipsy. Once I got to my room I shouted goodnight to them as Steve took Sam to his room. Bucky looked at me in the eye, I smiled gently, suddenly feeling more sober and said, "Good night Bucky" and he gently nodded his head, trailing after Steve.

I changed into one of Steve's old avengers training t-shirts that he had given me and snuggled into my bed, setting my alarm for 5:30am. I thought about who the new recruit would be before drifting gently to sleep.
