Bucky's Hope (A Bucky Barnes Love Story)

Chapter 2

Bucky's POV:

Another nightmare had woken me up in the middle of the night, I was glad that I least did not wake up screaming again waking up everyone else. I was yet again in the training room trying to shake off the remnants of the nightmare by distracting my mind. I must have really zoned out because I had not realized that I had been in here for 5 hours until FRIDAY notified me.

FRIDAY: Sgt. Barnes, it's 8 am and almost everyone has gathered in the kitchen for breakfast.

"Thank you, FRIDAY."

FRIDAY: Your welcome Sergeant.

I grabbed my things and headed back to my room to take a quick shower and change. When I walked into the kitchen Steve was the first one to see me.

"Morning Buck, did you sleep well?" I just glared at Steve.

"Yeah, that was a stupid question, sorry."

I joined everyone for breakfast but kept quiet and to myself like always, when we were almost done Tony came in while he was talking on the phone, everyone became quiet as they listened to him talk to whoever was on the other line, I didn't really pay much attention like everyone else but I did catch that he was talking to a woman.

"Hey, thanks for calling me back, and sorry for texting so late last night, I know you have early mornings," he pauses for a moment as the other person spoke.

"Are you up for a surprise visit from us?" he pauses again.

"I know its a short notice but I am hoping to leave today so we can be there before evening," another pause.

"Of course, Pepper and Morgan will come too, I do want to keep living, I'll send them ahead in the private jet, it will give Morgan enough time to settle down by the time we get there, sorry again for springing this out on you so fast, I didn't even get a chance to see what your schedule looked like right now and I don't even know if you have any upcoming competitions, but it's really important," Tony pauses again and then lets out a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank goodness, and don't worry we'll stay out of your hair while you train and work," pauses once more.

"Alright, well then I'll let you go so you can get things ready for us and we should be there by late afternoon but I'll keep you posted, we'll see you soon," he pauses one late time.

"I do too...bye," Tony hangs up the call and looks up to see all eyes on him.

"Damn, you're all so nosey, so as you heard we are going somewhere so all of you get to packing and be at the quinjet in 1 hour," Tony turns to leave as he pulls his phone again.

Wait, where are we even going?" Natasha asked.

"On a much-needed vacation for us and therapy for Barnes," I was taken aback by Tony's last comment.

"What do you mean therapy for me, I'm already going to therapy so I don't need more."

Tony gave me a look, "Barnes, we all know that your current therapy is not working, plus you hate your therapist, I would have thought you would be a little thrilled about not seeing her again."

I was silent for a moment, I knew that Tony had a point, "fine, if it means I no longer have to see Dr. Raynor again then I'll do it.

Tony smirked as he tried to stop himself from laughing, "also everyone pack comfortable and whatever you don't mind getting dirty, now if you don't mind I need to call my wife if I wish to see tomorrow."

Tony left probably to his office or the lab, we were all still confused by his first comment but decided not to question it and went to pack. An hour later we were all packed and ready to go, Steve and I were the first ones at the quinjet, we were soon joined by Bruce, Natasha, Sam, Wanda, Vision, Peter, and Tony.

"Alright, let's load up and get going," Tony said walking inside the quinjet.

Nobody said anything and we just got our stuff headed inside the quinjet as well. Tony and Natasha sat in the pilot and copilot seats.

"Okay Tony, where are we going?" Natasha asked him.

"I already gave FRIDAY the coordinates of where we are going to put into the quinjet so just pull them up and off we go," Tony said.

Nat pulled up the coordinates and got the jet ready for take-off, once we were up in the air she switched the autopilot on. We all then turned our attention back to Tony who just rolled his eyes.

"Alright, the only thing I will say is that we are going to my family ranch which is also a horse rescue," he said.

"Are you going to tell us who we are meeting?" Steve asked this time.

Tony huffed, "it's a bit delicate and it's best to wait till we get there but I can assure you that she is very trustworthy since I have known her all her life and that is all I will say until we get there so, for now, enjoy the ride."
