Do You Remember? Bucky Barnes

Chapter 2

"Are you sure it's here?" Bucky asked as he observed the building from inside the car

Sam peered his head around Bucky, "Yeah, the tracker revealed this location"

"This is an elementary school, Sam. Maybe one of the teachers has it?" Bucky questioned as he got out of the vehicle.

"Maybe...maybe not" Sam mentioned as his scanner saw something on a kid, playing outside, "Got it" Sam pulled out his laptop as he ran facial recognition software. "Jace Sieno. 10 years old. Huh. that's weird" Sam raised an eyebrow as he looked at the picture.

"What is it?" Bucky asked

But Sam shut his laptop before getting out of the car and he replied, "It's nothing. Let's see if we can't meet with him real quick"

Bucky and Sam walked into the school. Sam approached the receptionist, "Hi, we need a quick word with one of your students."

The receptionist gave him a weird look, "uhm i'm not sure-" but she was interrupted when a gentleman stepped out of the principal's office and exclaimed, "Captain America! Wow! How incredible it is to meet you in person!"

Sam gave a sheepish wave, not realizing how recognizable he was now. "Yeah, thats me"

'What can I help you with today?" the principal asked enthusiastically

"We were hoping to speak with Jace. Jace Sieno. It's pretty urgent" Sam responded

"Well, we do have rules we need to follow with him being a minor. I will have to call his mother for permission. Give me just a moment" the principal replied and then turned to his receptionist, "why don't you take these gentleman to the conference room and have Jace come up"

She nodded and asked Sam and Bucky to follow her. She had them wait outside the room on a nearby bench while the current meeting finished up.

"So how do you think a kid ended up with this?" Bucky asked as he leaned forward, looking around.

Sam slouched back as he responded, "No idea. Maybe he just found it. But either way, someone activated it and if the wrong person comes around, he could be in danger"

Bucky nodded just as a kid rounded the corner. The kid sat at the bench directly across from them.

Sam leaned forward and smiled, "Jace right?"

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers," the kid replied with a scowl on his face.

"Good kid," Sam acknowledged as he leaned over and whispered to Bucky, "Now, don't take this the wrong way, but you have to admit...that kid looks exactly like you. You guys even have that same look with your eyes." Sam noted as he pointed two fingers at Bucky's eyes.

Bucky took a deep breath as he pushed Sam's hand away. He was all too aware of the uncanny resemblance in the kid sitting in front of him.

They sat in silence for a while, till heels clicked from down the hall. Bucky heard the principal and a woman talking as they approached. He elbowed Sam to let him know that someone was coming and they both stood up.

As the woman turned the corner, Bucky's breath hitched. Her eyes found his for just a moment and he froze. It was her. There was no doubt in his mind. It was the woman from his dream.

"I am so sorry, it took so long for me to get here. My name is Kira, I'm Jace's mom. What were you needing to speak to him about?" She spoke as she walked over.

Bucky let Sam take the lead on this. He was having a hard time concentrating as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Not only was she the woman from his dreams, but she was absolutely stunning. With her hair tucked back in a bun at the nape of her neck, that tight dress revealing every curve along her body, and those beautiful soft brown eyes.
