You're My Home // Bucky Barnes// The Winter Soldier

Chapter 12

  We were just about to finish up and I was very glad about it. I hate having all the attention on me like this honestly. It makes me freeze and I make the worst decisions and say the worse things.

"Well thank you all for your questions and I just wanted to inform everyone that although Jane here will be becoming an Avenger she will of course be training for these upcoming months to make sure she is well fit to be in the team," Tony said to finish off this event. "Thank you all again for coming and enjoy your day," he finally said as we walked off the stand and back inside to the building.

"Woah that was intense."

"Eh not really," Tony replied to me.

"That's because you're used to this and I'm not."

"Well you'll get used to it," he said while squeezing my shoulder reassuringly.

"Hey! You did great out there," I heard Steve say as he walked into the room.

"Thanks," I said before he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away with Tony.

"Hey,"I heard from behind me softly.

"Hey," I said as I turned to see Bucky standing against the wall in the hallway.

"You did great out there ," he said smiling.

"You saw?"

"Well yea...I mean we all did."

"Right, well thanks. I was actually pretty nervous," I laugh slightly.

"Yea I probably would be too, I'm not good with..people," he chuckles.

"Yea I can tell," I laugh back.

"How so?" He asks stepping closer to me.

"Well if I'm not wrong when I first met you, you looked totally freaked out and didn't respond to me when I introduced myself."

"Hey well in my defense I didn't expect anyone to be awake at five am," he said.

"Ah true I guess most people aren't up and about at five in the morning," I say chuckling a bit.

"Let's try again," he said ignoring my last comment.

"Try what again?"

He steps even closer to me before speaking. "Hi my name is James Buchanan Barnes but, everyone calls me Bucky," he says with a sweet smile placing his hand out for me to shake.

I stare at him, looking back and forth between him and his hand for a second at a loss for words at this rare and semi sweet gesture he's doing until I chuckle and respond.

"Nice to meet you," I say as I shake his hand. "My name is Jane Darlene Stark but, everyone calls me J."

"Darlene huh?"

"Yep."

"I haven't heard a single person call you that."

"Probably cause it's my middle name and everyone knows I think it's ugly."

"Hmm I like it."

"Oh god no please don't start calling me Darlene," I say in a warning tone.

"Ok I won't," he says throwing his hands up in surrender making me smile.

It seemed like he was going to say something else until I got a phone call. I look at the caller ID to see it's Cole.

"Shoot, sorry I have to take this."

"No worries," he says walking off.

I was about to answer until he spoke up again seeming to still be in the room.
