✔️The Summer Soldier ||Bucky Barnes||

51

A few hours passed by and everyone was taking turns to watch summer for Harley. Steve and nat wouldn't let Harley stress herself about watching her since she was a ball of energy. At one point, Harley even ended up just bursting into tears.

Thor sat down next to Harley on the couch, interrupting her deep thoughts. "Lady Spade how are you doing?" He asked, "I've caught you staring at a wall three times today's already."

Harley nodded her head, wiping the tears that dropped down her face. "Yeah I'm fine. It's just a lot.." she said.

"Your lying, Harley. I know you never show any emotions that involve sadness, so seeing you like this has me a little bit worried." Thor said, "but I know what could help right about now."

Harley was almost positive Thor was about to offer her a pop tart.. again. He's tried to get her to eat something since she's woken up. "I don't want a pop tart Goldie. I'm just going to take a nap.." she said, standing from the couch and heading towards the bedrooms. "If Summer gets too out of hand, wake me up."

Thor nodded his head and let the girl go upstairs. He knew that if a girl was anything but happy, it's not the best idea to hold them away from what they want to accomplish.

Harley walked through the large hallway, continuing past her old bedroom and going to Bucky's. She knew he still had some stuff here like some clothes.

Just walking into the room made her want to cry. The bed was neatly made and the closet door was slightly opened, revealing Bucky's larger clothes.

The girl didn't hesitate to go towards the closet, taking out one of Bucky's shirts and holding it in her hands. It still smelt like him, even though he hasn't worn it in a while.

"Mama are you in there?" Summer asked, soft little knocks on the door.

Harley smiled a little bit and opened the door, lifting her little princess up. "Hey princess, are you ok?"

"Mama you seem sad."

It felt like Harley's heart dropped when summer pointed out her sadness. Her attempt to look ok didn't work. "Mommy's ok, she just misses daddy." Harley said softly, walking to Bucky's bed and laying down, still holding summer.

Summer cuddled her small body into Harley. "I miss daddy too. But uncle Teve said that we will get him and everyone else back soon."

Harley didn't say anything. She didn't want to give her hopes up that they could come back. "You know who's room this used to be?"

Summer opened her eyes and peeked around. The design being too boyish for her mom. "Was this daddy's room?" She asked.

"Mhm, how about we sleep in here tonight."

"Ok mama."

Harley smiled at her daughter, kissing her head and getting comfortable. Summer did the same and within the next few minutes, they were both asleep.

"Guys I lost summer.." Steve said, entering the living room with wide eyes. "I had her before but now she's gone."

Natasha looked at Steve and her eyes widened too. "Steve.. Harley is going to have a heart attack." She said, walking away to find the child.

Everyone looked around the compound for summer, peeking into every little area since she was still small.

"How did you lose her?!" Natasha asked Steve the grown man was fully panicked.

"I was with her in the kitchen, then I turned to get something from the fridge and then she was gone." Steve said, "and she's so small that her footsteps are barley audible."

"Wait be quiet, Lady Spade is asleep in one of these rooms." Thor said as they all walked through the bedrooms hallway.

Nat sighed, knowing exactly where Harley was sleeping. There was no way Harley would be in her own room when Bucky's was available.

Peeking into Bucky's room, Nat slowly opened the door. To her surprise, both Harley and summer were Asleep on Bucky's bed.

"Found her." She whispered, Steve, Thor and Bruce peeking from behind her to see the two asleep.

Steve let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god.. I wasn't ready for Harley to kill me yet."

"She wouldn't be the only one trying to kill you." Nat said with a raised eyebrow. "I'd make an attempt to kill you too, no matter how much you beg me not to."

Steve nodded, knowing Natasha would actually kill him since she is a trained assassin and Former Russian spy.

"Now, I'm going to take a nap too. I haven't slept in like a day." Nat said, walking away tj her own room.

"Me too, I promised har I would try to get some sleep." Steve agreed.

So, the whole avengers compound went to their rooms and took a well deserved nap, feeling a sort of relief when they got to finally relax.
