After All This Damage (Finished)

Chapter 4

You head downstairs and everyone turned their heads when the three of you entered the room. Bucky could not keep his eyes off you. Tony had the room made up with fancy lights, and fun party music going. You headed to the bar and asked for a scotch on rocks. The bar itself was classy with a glass countertop and a grey stand underneath, behind the bar had all the drinks you could possibly imagine. 

While you waited, Steve came up to you. "You look nice. Someone you have eyes for?"

"No the girls got to me." You confessed, hoping he did not pressure you into giving up anymore details on the matter.

He chuckled. "They like to get dolled up."

"Trust me I know." The bartender handed you your drink.

Tony then walked up to you, and being the smug self he is he said, "You look nice but I do not want you with any of these boys, they are not big brother Tony approved Y/N."  

"Of course. But I am an adult and I'll make my own decisions Tony." You grabbed your drink and walked to the floor.

"Y/N!" You turned your head it was Thor. The god of Thunder. He was visiting Earth again, Jane Foster wanted to try and mend the relationship, Thor was fine with being friends, but was willingly to try for Jane.

"Thor!" You exclaimed walking over to him.

"Care for an Asgardian drink?" he offered holding a tiny flask.

"I think my scotch is strong enough for me right now." You knew the stories of the Asgardian alcohol and thought it was best not to try it.

"Thats fair." He gave you a quick hug, you excused yourself heading towards the balcony. Today marked 11 years since your fathers death, you weren't in a big mood to celebrate.

"Want some company?" A voice had asked. You turned around and Bucky was standing in the doorway, he wore a black suit with a grey shirt, it made his blue eyes bright.

"Sure" you turned back out towards the lake.

"So why are you out here?" He had walked beside you leaning on the railing.

"Its the anniversary of my fathers death," you looked down at your drink swirling the glass in your hand.

"I'm sorry. Is there anything we could do?" he asked looking at you hoping that there was something he could do.

"No he died a hero in my mind. I just have one drink for him every year. He would of loved a good party, he was an agent of Shield. He loved helping people anyway he can." you looked up at Bucky, his eyes never leaving you. You felt something but looked away hoping he did not notice you blushing lightly.

"He sounds like a good man." Bucky looked out over the lake.

"He was" and deep voice startled the two of you.

"Mr. Fury" you turned around.

"You didn't think I'd be here to support you on a day of remembrance Y/N?" Fury walked up to you, Bucky excused himself heading back inside to the party.

"No sir, I'm glad your here."

"Coulson was the best damn agent I had on my team."

"Coulson was your father?" Steve was lurking in the door way. It seemed that wherever Fury had gone, everyone followed, he was just that kind of man. You looked over to where Steve stood and saw most of the team lurking in the doorway.

"Yea he was," you replied hoping that they wouldn't push farther for more questions, you hated being the center of attention. Tony and Nat knew since you were around shield years before that day. You asked them to keep it a secret from the others as you didn't need everyone always on your case. "Well this is a party so lets go party." You walked back in hoping this was enough to change the subject.

Nat, Wanda and you head to the dance floor and dance. After a few hours of partying you plop on a couch next to Sam and Steve. Fury walked over shaking your hand and saying he was going to head out, but he said give him a call if you had ever needed anything. Pepper and Tony excused themselves claiming it was way past Morgan's bedtime and that they should head home a relieve Happy. Rhody claimed he had military things to do in the morning, Barton said his wife wanted him home to save her from the kids. Banner had already snuck away from the party when it had started.

Peter perked up "lets play truth or dare." Peter was still a kid in all of your eyes. He was only 18 but he was like a little brother to you.

"Ok Spidey boy start us off." Sam said, taking a sip of his drink

"Ok Mr. Rogers. Truth or Dare?" Peter was eager to ask Steve.

"Truth." Steve was always a good boy, you didn't think he would actually ever pick dare.

"Is it true you have only ever kissed one person since 1945?" Peter had a giant smirk on his face as he had asked the question. Bucky and Sam laughed at each other from knowing the real truth. Steve took a sip of his drink, Nat smirked sipping on her own drink.

Totally avoiding his question Steve turned to Wanda "Wanda. Truth or dare?"

"Dare" You could see the desire in her eyes to have some fun.

"I dare you to try and lift Storm Breaker." Steve motioned to Thor's axe sitting in the corner of the room.

Wanda got up and tried to lift the axe, it did not budge. "I guess I'm not worthy," She sat back down with a smile.

"Y/N. Truth or Dare?" Wanda had asked you, you could see the longing in her eyes wanting you to pick dare.

You were scared to say dare as you did not want her to start anything with Bucky. You weren't quite ready to start dating again. "Truth"

"Why did you keep who your father is a secret?" She asked, she seemed a little bummed that you chose Truth but went with it anyway.

"I didn't want you guys to look at me any different." You confessed, it was the truth, your father was such an amazing person, you were scared that you were never going to live up to the legacy that he had left behind.

"I actually have even more respect for you now knowing that you are the daughter of Phil Son of Coul." Thor advised.

"Thanks Thor" You looked over him feeling reassured about yourself. "Ok Sam truth or dare?" you turned and looked at him.

"Dare"

"I dare you to arm wrestle Steve."

Steve and Sam got up and stood at the bar, it was the highest table. They arm wrestled back and forth for a little while, then Steve completely whipped his butt. Sam sat down and didn't look at anyone, "Don't take it personally, I did go a little easy on you, then I brought the super solider to the table." Steve clarified trying to make Sam feel a little better.

The team continued to play until Nat kissed Steve, Peter sat trapped in his webs on the ceiling, courtesy of Bucky and Sam (pay back for civil war), Thor and Wanda had a staring contest until Peter fell right in the middle of them breaking their concentration. Bucky and you had a race of who could run around the compound the fastest, you knew Bucky should win since he was a super solider, but as you were running he seemed to not have put much effort into it until you were nearing the finish line and he fell back letting you win.

After a while you were getting sleepy and said you were going to turn in for the night, you headed up the stairs towards your room, Bucky had walked beside, he stopped in front of your bedroom door.

"I think you let me win."

"Maybe a little" he put his pointer and thumb close together while smirking.

"Well thanks for walking me to my room" 

"Of course, well goodnight." He seemed like he wanted to say more but didn't.

"Night"

He headed to his room. You walked into yours and closed the door. You washed off your makeup and took off the dress, heels, and jewelry. Then put on a pair of sweats and a hoodie. You layed in bed and smiled, you started to really think of a life with Bucky, you drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
