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...
"I'm not trying to be Steve, I'm not trying to replace Steve. I'm just trying to be the best Captain America I can be, that's it. It'd be a whole lot easier if I had Cap's wingmen on my side." Sam scoffs at this before getting out himself.
"It's always that last line." He shakes his head.
"Let's go." John tells the driver. Sam makes his way to catch up to you and Bucky, who had already gotten pretty far in your rush of anger.
"Wait up!" Sam called.
"Where do we go from here?" Bucky asked as you all came to a stop.
"This way" you pointed, following the compass to the airport.

"Are you sure that thing even works? The map on my phone is more reliable" Sam pulls it out to counter your directions.
"Wasn't that Steve's compass?" Bucky looked to the small memory of your friend that was in your hand.
"Yes. Hey bird brain, how's the directions on that phone coming?" You taunted as you looked up to the hanger in sight. You continued the rest of the walk in silence as you reached the plane waiting inside the hanger.
"Hey guys, I was wondering what was taking so long" Torres cheered as you all strolled up to the plane. Silently you marched past him and dropped your gear on the floor.
"Listen, can we please talk now?" Bucky asked as he caught your wrist. You whipped around to face him with overwhelming emotions, ripping your hand from his hold.
"You wanna talk? After everything that's happened the past few months, you want to talk now?" You begin to rage.
"Y/n" Bucky starts.
"No, don't y/n me. I lost you and Steve before, I've watched and listened as you both died. Steve is gone again and he made us promise— we promised him that we would stay close, but no! As soon as Steve leave for his adventures in space, you leave and don't even reach out to me!"

"Can I explain now?" His blue eyes searched you y/e/c ones for answers. "I left because I had already caused you so much pain in life as the winter soldier. I couldn't continue to hurt you, so after Steve left I decided that it would be best that I left as well" he told you with honesty.
"You are unbelievable! You know what hurt more than watching the winter soldier kill my friends and try to kill me, knowing that you chose to leave me! After everything we have been through you chose to leave 'because you didn't want to hurt me' but guess what? That hurt even more" you spit the words out at him with anger. Leaving him speechless, you grabbed your bag, turned on your heel and changed into civilian clothes.
A silence filled the plane as you took off. You had returned wearing your civilian clothes and your wound was patched up so that it wouldn't bleed anymore. Your skin had palled significantly and your head felt light and dizzy. Collapse in into a seat, you didn't notice Bucky flinch to help you as he held himself back, not wanting to overstep. You laid on your side and soon the world around you went dark.

"You all right?" Sam looked up to Bucky who was sat on a container, staring at the floor.
"Let's take the shield, Sam. Let's take the shield and do this ourselves."
"We can't just run up on the man, beat him up, and take it. Do you remember what happened the last time we stole it?" Sam asked, sitting up but still being quiet as you were sound asleep on the other set of seats.
"Maybe."
"I'll help you in case you forgot. Sharon was branded enemy of the state, and Steve and I were on the run for two years. Y/n though, she had it the worst, on the run all alone, no one to help her and no friends to comfort her. I don't know about you, but I don't wanna live the rest of my life la vida loca. We just got our ass handed to us by Super Soldiers, and we got nothing." Sam talks some sense into the brunette.
"Not entirely true." Bucky hopped off his seat, dog tags jangling as he did so. "There is someone that you should meet." Bucky looks to Sam with honesty.
"Let's go then, we should wake y/n up" Sam moves to stand up but Bucky holds his hand up for him to stop.

"I know her well enough to know that in times like these, she won't sleep, especially since she's wounded. So I think it's best we keep her sleeping, she'll need the rest" Bucky explained to Sam as you sat up with a groan.
"I think there might be a problem" Sam pointed across the plane to where you were rubbing your eyes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep, What's going on?"
"Nothing, just get some rest" Bucky turned to face you.
"I'm fine" you wave off his instructions, sitting up straighter as he sat down next to Sam with a sigh. You hand finds its way back to your side in a force of habit.
————————————————- Question of the day: what did you think of Bucky's reason to leave?
