Why Me? || Bucky Barnes

Chapter 17 - Only the Beginning.

Bucky's POV
we had another mission. New York was under attack. Stop the attacker. Go home. Simple. Right?

Well I am Bucky Barnes. Kayden is my daughter. Nothing is that simple.

Kayden was partnered with Clint again. I was ok with it. Because I trusted him. And he treated Kay like his own too. They were a pretty good team. So I was comfortable letting her go with him.

"Bruce I need you at my location now!"

Clint and Kayden were the last ones scheduled to be picked up.

As like every other fight we were loosing. It was getting dark. And we can't fight in the dark. It isn't safe.

Something was wrong. I could tell. Clint never usually sounds in a hurry or in urgency. He is usually calm and collected. About everything.

But this time was different. I looked at Steve and he looked back at me. We both knew what was going on. It was Kayden. She was hurt.

The back door opened from the aircraft and there Clint stood with Kayden in his arms. She was shot, and her arm was blown off.

Nat and Thor helped them into the aircraft and Clint layer her on the bench.

"Move, what happened?"

Tony came rushing over with Pepper by his side.

"We were circled and then next minute she screamed and I looked over and she was on the floor."

"Hey Kayden, stay awake for me please. You are going to be ok. I promise. Nothing is going to happen to you. I promise."

Tears in her eyes she tried to clear with her hand. But it hurt her to much so she let out a tiny scream. That was all that was left of her energy. A tiny scream.

I toke her hand into mine before she fell unconscious right in front of me. My heart sank and Sam pulled me away from her so that Tony and Pepper could bandage her wound.

Her arm. Was gone. She felt it. We can both feel our arms like there our own. And she felt it. Being blown off of her. I wish I was there. I should've been there. What kind of father puts there daughter in a life threatening situation and doesn't go with her? I should've been there to comfort her from when she fell. So that I could tell her it would all be ok, and her time isn't up yet. That she has her whole life to live, and this is only the beginning.
