COMPLETED
What happens when you add a third to the dynamic duo of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes? Y/n was best friends with Bucky and Steve until they both left her alone in the world. She had felt so lost without them until she heard there was a cha...
"Let's see what the hell america has done this morning" you plop yourself on the couch with your bowl of cereal. You curled up in a ball, still wearing your Pyjamas as you clicked on the television. The familiar tune of Steve's star spangled man song is played by a more modern band and you roll your eyes at the sound, already knowing you are going to hate whatever comes next.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your new Captain America!" The host introduced as he ran onto the stage and the crowd went crazy.
"Good morning, America." He speaks and you sigh, leaning back into your seat with annoyance.

"Thank you so much for coming. This has gotta be fun, though, coming back to your high school after so much has changed?" He laughs as she starts the interview. "John, I think the first thing everyone wants to know is what is it like being Captain America? Do eagles fly overhead wherever you go?" She asks in a peppy voice.
"Uh, yes." He laughs. "Yeah, that and flags tend to start majestically waving in the wind." He continues to joke.
"And how's the tour been? I know they did a big rollout for you, right?"
"It's the greatest honor of my life. Um, but I'm just a little shocked, I think, how did a guy like me end up here?"
"Oh, wait, wait, wait. 'A guy like me'?" She cuts him off. "Somebody's being a bit too humble. For those of you who aren't familiar with his résumé, 'John Walker, first person in American history to receive three Medals of Honor, ran RS-One missions in counterterrorism and hostage rescue' The government did a study of your body at MIT, and you tested off the charts in every measurable category. Speed, endurance, intelligence" she starts to list off.
"Look, here's the thing, uh, I'm not Tony Stark, I'm not Dr. Banner, okay? I don't have the flashiest gadgets, I don't have super strength. But what I do have is guts." You roll your eyes for what seems like the thousandth time during this interview. "Something Captain America always had, always needs to have, and I'm gonna need every ounce of it. Because I got big shoes to fill."
Unknown to you Bucky was watching the same newsfeed from his house in shock of what Sam's actions of giving up the shield had led to.
"Did you know Steve Rogers?" The blond woman on tv asked him.
"I was two years out of West Point when Steve came back on the scene. I followed his career very closely as an Avenger. I like to think that I modeled my work after his."
"So, you've always wanted to be a hero?"
"I liked that what I was doing would make people feel safe. Steve Rogers was the kind of guy who could do that, he gave me hope. Even though I never met him, he feels like a brother." At those words you clicked off the screen in front of you and threw the remote to the floor with frustration.
"He was like a brother" you mock John as tears form in you eyes. "He was my brother" you sigh, remembering the little guy who always took care of you like an older brother would.
