Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Sixty-Two

Bucky's POV

This battle feels endless. No matter how many beasts we kill, more keep appearing. Another wave is heading towards me when I see the raccoon that came with Thor nearby. "Come and get some, space dogs!" Thinking quickly, I grab him with my vibranium arm and spin, bullets flying from both our guns, dispatching beasts in all directions. Once the wave is taken care of I drop the raccoon back down on the floor.

The raccoon looks up at me, and I see what I believe to be a smirk on his face. "How much for the gun?" I shoot at some more beasts that make their way towards us and answer coldly. "Not for sale."

"Okay, how much for the arm?" He says. I look at him and walk away without another word. I don't have time for this right now. I hear him mumble as I walk away "Oh, I'll get that arm." I have to suppress a grin, I would love to see him try.

I am a soldier, I am a machine, I will eliminate all the targets. I will find my wife. Everything will be fine. That is all I have space for in my head. The objective is clear. Act on it, get it done. I feel disconnected as I go through the motions, what I would give to see (Y/N)'s face right now. To bring me back from this mindset. To bring me back home.

I snap out of my reveries to T'Challa's voice on the comms. "Fall back! Fall back now!"

I watch as giant motorized wheels rise from the earth, shredding everything in its path. My eyes widen, no gun can stop that. I run back, helping fallen Wakandan's as I go to their feet. I can see Rhodey and Sam focusing their fire power to the machines as we continue to run away from them, while still evading and killing the monsters around us.

From the corner of my eye, I can see that Wanda has joined us on the field, her magic making quick work of one of the large machines. I can't help but feel anxiety in the pit of my stomach. Vision is now compromised and unprotected. As if to answer my worry, Sam speaks over the comms.

"Guys, we got a Vision situation here."

"Somebody get to Vision!" Steve screams through the comms. I try to make my way through the monsters that keep appearing. Thankfully I hear Bruce answer the call. Yet I still keep fighting the monsters, trying to make my way towards Vision. Knowing full well he is why their all here, he needs all the protection we can afford.

"Guys! Vision needs backup now!" Bruce's voice calls out. My drive now intensified to get to Vision and protect him. He is family. If he falls, we all fall.

-.-.-.-

My hands hover over the stones and all of a sudden everything disappears.

Where am I? I'm walking on a shallow lake, the sunset looming in the distance. There is no breeze, no sound.

"Hello?" I call out, but it feels as if I am calling into an endless void. "Anyone there?"

"Who are you?" I hear behind me and suddenly turn to find the source of the noise. I am standing in front of a woman. Her hair is deep violet, and her skin is green. She has strong features, the body of a warrior.

"My name is (Y/N)... Who are you?" I ask as I continue to watch her movements. She seems hesitant of my presence, as she continues to tilt her head from side to side as if examining me.

Finally, she decides to speak, as if she's made up her mind about me. "My name is Gamora."

I step back, shocked. "Wait. How? Aren't you..."

"Yes."

Looking down at myself I can't help but ask, "am I??" Her head bobs to one side and her eyes narrow as she continues to examine me.
