Bucky and I both were dressed nicely, we sit with our Lawyer and wait nervously. "All rise!" Bucky puts an arm around me and helps me up as I struggle. I look up as a female judge walks in. "Court is now in session. Judge Maria presiding, please be seated." Bucky again helps me as I sit down.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Calling the case of the people of New York against James Barnes and Y/N L/N. Will the clerk please swear in the jury?"
He walks over fo the jury, "Will the Jury please raise stand and raise your right hand?" They stand. "Do each of you swear that you will fairly try the case before this court, and that you will return a true verdict according to the evidence and the instructions of the court, so help you God? Please say I Do."
"I do." They all say.
"You may be seated."
The judge then nods at our lawyer, he stands and walks to the middle. "Your honor, ladies and Gentlemen....my clients are being charged with gang involvement and murder. Although this may be true and proven...you all don't know what really happened to these two innocent individuals. You don't know the pain and suffering they were put through. Today I am going to show you that." He looks over at a screen and takes a remote, turning it on. "The first thing I am going to show you is the evidence that Y/N L/N's parents were killed by Alexander Pierce. Afterwards, he took Y/N and hid her away at a secret Boarding School for Orphan's." I look up as I see a picture of a man and a women with a baby. My parents. I had never seen a photo of them before. He shows documents that stated what happened. "Next, you will see several video's of Y/N performing Ballet. Here her abuse began." The videos shows me as a young child dancing, then of Pierce and the instructors hitting me.
"It's okay." Bucky whispers to me.
"Next, Ladies and gentlemen...are videos of James and Y/N being tortured with Electroshock Therapy. Forcing them to become someone they didn't want to be." Tears fill my eyes as I see my younger self struggling, screaming in pain. I put my head in my hands and shake my head. "Can't you see that my client is scared...traumatized by this." He points at me. "After this, my clients were me really abused, forced to do things they are horrified of." He pauses and turns to us. "I'd like to call up a witness...Steve Rogers."
My head snaps up as I hear his name, he walks by us in a grey suit. His hair was longer, slicked back and he had a beard now. "Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"
"I do." Steve nods, sitting down.
"Mr. Rogers. You are best friend's with James?"
"I am." He nods.
"And you were dating Y/N?"
Stevie looks over at me, "I was."
"While knowing them...have they ever seemed violent to you?"
"Not at all." He shakes his head. "No matter what anyone thinks...They both are amazing. Bucky promotes local artists and helps raise money for charity every week. Y/N takes in kids like her and she gives them a loving environment to dance Ballet. She gives them what she never got. A home. My time with them has been wonderful...it would be stupid to send them to jail." He says, looking right at me.
"Thank you, Mr. Rogers."
We were released while the Jury comes to a verdict, they were able to rewatch videos and look at documents if they needed. I was bouncing my knee anxiously as I wait in the hall, Steve was down the hall, staring at the ground.
"We are gonna win...I know we will. I watched all their faces." Dan nods.
I lean in to Dan and take the pen from his hand and his paper. "If I get sentenced to Life.....half of my earnings go to the academy and the kids and the other half goes to Steve." I write the names and sign my name.
"That's not gonna happen." Bucky nods. We look up as it was time to go back in. Bucky holds my hand and leads me inside.
We sit down as the Judge arrives. "Has the Jury reached a verdict?"
A man stands. "Yes, your honor. We the jury find the defendants...not Guilty."
Bucky and I quickly embrace, I smile as he rests his forehead against mine and wipes my tears. "Y/N L/N. James Barnes, you ar pardoned of all crimes. Use this as a chance to start over...to be free."
Bucky and I were free.....finally we could live our lives.
But I couldn't...not without Steve.
