Forgotten ~ B.Barnes

Chapter 16

When Steve, Sam, Bucky, and Wanda returned back to the compound, Bucky went straight up to his room and Wanda followed him.

"Slow down." Wanda said, trying to catch up to him.

Bucky didn't slow down, he just wanted to be alone. When he reached his room, he walked inside slamming the door, only to be caught by Wanda's magic.

Bucky let out a deep breath and sat on his bed. He put his elbows on his knees, letting his head fall down.

Wanda reached his room, and put her hands on her knees, out of breath. Once her breathing slowed, she walked over next to him sitting down on the bed.

"Bucky...we need to talk about what happened." Wanda said, placing her hand on his shoulder, squeezing it softly.

"Not right now."

"Then when? Nyx is obviously going through something and we need to be in the right headspace to help her."

"We?" Bucky questioned as he turned to look at Wanda.

"Yes, we. Part of why she's like this is because of me. If I never knocked her out, her life might be different. So doing this is my way of saying sorry and making amends."

"I understand. So what do we do."

"First, we need to take care of Steve."

"Steve?"

"Yes, I read his mind, and the only reason he came was to find out about whatever was going on between Jason and Nyx."

"Wow. I don't know what has gotten into him recently."

"Me neither, but we need to find a way to stop him or at least throw him off of his track." Wanda suggested.

"Yeah we do." Bucky agreed.

"Next thing, what are we going to do about Nyx and Jason?" Wanda asked, running her hands through her hair.

"Honestly, I don't know. They have so much history- bad history- and she'll never forget what he did."

"When she said Grant...do you know who she meant?"

"No clue."

"I might have a clue."

Steve barged into Nat's room, closing the door behind him and sat on her bat. Nat raised her brow at his actions and cleared her throat.

"Hey Steve, yea sure come in!" Nat sarcastically said.

"Sorry. It's just this- the plan we have- I don't think I'm up for it." Steve said, rubbing his hand across his forehead.

"Why not?" Nat said, sitting up.

"She shared something personal, and I practically pushed her to and I shouldn't have. I don't think I should say."

Nat sighed, "Steve, don't start acting like a goodie two shoes now. Tell me what she told you. So we can end this for good. Weren't you the one who said you didn't trust her, what changed your mind?"

"Okay Nat, I get it. Apparently Jason killed her first love."

"That was your 'big secret'?" Nat scoffed.

"Uh yeah, what did you expect?" Steve asked.

"I don't know, something we could use to our advantage." Nat sighed. "This is useless."
