Monster (A Bucky Barnes Fanfiction)

156

Sam and I sit in the reception area of the station. I hear footsteps approaching and see Dr. Raynor approaching us.

"Sam." she says and Sam begins to rise as she goes on. "I've heard a lot about you. I'm Dr. Raynor. I'm James's therapist."

Sam approaches her and the two shake hands. I stand up, still fidgeting with the engagement ring on my finger.

"So nice to meet you." Sam replies, "Thank you for getting him out."

"That was not me."

"Christina." we turn to the voice of Walker who is taking photos with people. I roll my eyes. "It's great to see you again."

"You gotta be kidding me." Sam mutters, "You know him?"

"Yeah, we did some field ops back in the day."

"I heard you were working with Bucky, so I thought I'd step in," Walker says, approaching us. "Bucky's not gonna be following a strict schedule any longer."

"We haven't finished our work." Dr. Raynor says, "Who authorized this?"

I see Bucky being brought out and offer him a small smile, which he returns. I glance back at Walker.

"Um..." Walker gesture to himself, all cocky, and I roll my eyes.

"You've got to be kidding me," I snarl.

"He's too valuable of an asset to have tied up," I growl and Sam has to grab my arm, stopping me from lunging at Walker, my eyes shifting to their monster form. "Just do whatever you got to do with him, then send him off to me. Got some unfinished business, him and I. You too, Wilson and Nadya. I'll be outside."

As he walks away, I'm in front of him before anyone can finish blinking. I snarl, showing my monster eyes and fangs. Sam looks at me hesitantly. Dr. Raynor looks worried, Bucky smirks, and Walker looks downright terrified.

"Call him an asset again," I growl in his ear, "and I won't hesitate to tear your tongue from your head before ripping your jugular open all while you're alive before anyone can stop me."

"Is that a threat?" Walker asks as Sam grabs my arm to drag me away.

I shake my head. "No, it's a warning."

Sam guides me away and back to Raynor. Bucky is leaning up against the desk as Raynor looks at him.

"James, condition of your release, session now," Raynor says to him. He looks down, then she looks back at Sam and me. "You too, Sam. And you also Nadya."

"That's okay." Sam says "I'll be out here with..."

She begins to walk away but turns back and says:

"That wasn't a request."

Bucky follows her, and as he rolls his eyes, Sam follows behind with me trailing behind him.

Raynor has Bucky and I go first. Sam leans against the wall as I sit in the other chair. Raynor has us facing each other so we can look at each other to talk things through.

"Alright you two, I know something is going on, just by how Nadya acted in there, on edge. So what's going on."

"Nothing, we're fine," I say.
