Proving to be difficult Undercover!Bucky Barnes x Reader

Chapter 1

Unfuckingbelievable. They really couldn't have someone else do it. They could've asked Natasha, she's a great spy. Hell, even Clint would be a better fit.

"Barnes are you with us?" Director Fury snapped, a good mixture of exhaustion and annoyance.

"I'm listening," he rolled his eyes. With a huff, he grabbed the file the director had slid across the table to him.

"That's the target," Fury spoke up after a moment of silence.

"Why me?" Blue eyes met a brown one.

"Maybe if you actually read the file you'd know." Bucky opened the file and started flipping through the reports and background. That's when he saw it. That's when he saw them, to be more accurate. The target was sitting at what looked like an auction, on the Stage were none other than Alexander Pierce and Jasper Sitwell.

"Is this it? Is this why you want me to take the job? Because they are dead and Clint or Tasha can deal with this." Bucky asked getting louder with every sentence.

"Barnes calm the fuck down." Fury was becoming impatient now. "If you've read the list you'd know that we are not focusing on Pierce and Sitwell. This motherfucker bought a number of notebooks containing not only notes and results of the testing with the serum on you and others but also blueprints and directions on how to build and use the device that wiped the soldiers' memories. Which is why we need you to go undercover and retrieve all of it before some lost part of Hydra finds it and decides to restart the program."

Bucky was shocked for a moment, he had honestly thought that after everything he was finally done with Hydra but he recognized that Fury was right. It needed to be him, not only because he knew what they were searching for but also to finally leave it behind him and so he obliged.

"What will be my cover, Sir?

"Agent Barnes I'd like you to meet Miss Y/N Y/L/N. She is the assistant of the target and your way in. Over the course of this mission, you will act as her Husband James Y/L/N and try to get closer to the target to eventually gain access to the objects we need."

It had been a week since Fury had told him about the mission and now was the moment in which Bucky was first meeting you, the woman he would have to live with for however long this mission was gonna take and as if that wasn't bad enough already he would also have to act as if he was in love with this complete stranger.

"Excuse me are you ok?" A hand waving in front of his face pulled Bucky out of his thoughts and he gave you a quick smile before holding out his hand politely. "Just lost in thoughts. I'm James Barnes but you can call me Bucky Miss."

Grabbing his hand and shaking it you smirked. "I think I will stick with James, Agent. Ready to go home?"

Bewildered, Bucky was silent for another few moments before clearing his throat and grabbing his bags from the car. "You lead the way, Miss."

From the file, Bucky knew that you were the targets personal secretary and obviously that meant a pretty good paycheck judging by your apartment, or even just the fact that you could afford an apartment in New York.

"You can set up your stuff in the spare bedroom." You called from the kitchen while pulling some ingredients out of the refrigerator. "Can I ask what you are trying to do there?" He asks walking into the kitchen after putting his bags and shield equipment into the other room. You glared at him for a moment before cursing. "Fuck I cut myself. I was trying to make dinner but cooking isn't really my strong suit." You grumbled sticking your finger into your mouth to stop the bleeding.
