Lovers in Arms | Bucky Barnes

Part 13

Bucky took one of Moore's advice. He's dressed in such a way that he doesn't look threatening in any way. He remains a distinct appearance with his shiny metal arm so he has completely hidden most of it under a Henley shirt with long sleeves. He finished his look with gloves.

They drive to the police station in a black SUV. Bucky is in the back with Karol. She rests her head on his chest, saying nothing at all, worried about what is going to happen to him when he steps in that place. He's not used for her to be so quiet so he knows she's worried, so he holds her tight with one arm around her and kisses her hair every now and then. Arriving at the police station they get out of the car. Karol can just give Bucky a big kiss before he gets out, grabbing his shirt and trying to hold on to him as long as she can.

Steve walks in the building with Bucky. He wears a baseball cap so that he is not immediately recognized. They don't want to cause panic, he is still wanted and known as a dangerous assassin to the public. The police station looks run down. Wanted posters hang on the wall, next to posters about drugs or crime.

It's quiet inside, there are just a few people present. There is an officer sitting at a desk behind a big glass window and a woman with her son are sitting in the waiting area. The child points enthusiastically at Steve. "Look mommy, it's Captain America!" he whispers. The mother smiles until she sees the man next to him. She gasps because she knows exactly who he is. She grabs her son tight and pulls him out the door.

Bucky saw it happen and it strikes a chord. People are afraid of him. He understands, but it's not something he likes to experience. He sighs. This gets harder the closer he gets. His feet are heavy but he perseveres until he arrives at the cop behind that desk. Slowly he removes his baseball cap and clears his throat.

"Sir? I'm here to turn myself in."

The officer hums without looking up. "M-hm.. And why is that?" The officer behind the desk finally looks up and gasps. He looks at the wall with mug shots and looks back at Bucky. Shit. He pulls out his gun from his holster and starts yelling. "On your knees! Hands behind you head!"

"Is this necessary?" Steve scuffs. Bucky rolls his eyes and does what the officer says. He gets cuffed and shoved into an interrogation room. Some nervous officer cuffs him to the table. Bucky can't help himself to find this just a little bit funny. He could still run out of this place. He pulls at the cuffs slightly and sees the metal already bend. Nah, I need to do this.

"I need my lawyer." Bucky says when an officer enters the room. "I'm not telling anything before I see my lawyer."

He hears officers whispering behind the two-way-mirror. "We caught the Winter Soldier! Yeah!" Bucky shakes his head.

Just minutes later Moore comes walking in the room. "I'm sorry Sergeant Barnes, I didn't expect these officers to be so unprofessional." She says looking through the two-way mirror. Emphasis on 'unprofessional'. She sits down and lays her leather briefcase on the table. "Let's go through the last details before Steve shows up."

The chief of police walks into the room with 2 officers. "Sergeant Barnes. You are going to be taken into custody by members of the Avengers. Remove his cuffs officer." The same officer that nervously cuffed him to the table, is now undoing his cuffs. He's still nervous and shaking. "These officers will escort you through the back door."

The officer try to grab him but Moore steps in. "Don't touch my client! He can walk for himself!"

When they are escorted through the back door a black SUV awaits. Steve in front of it with a smile. "Get in buddy." Bucky steps into the car, he sits down next to Karol. "I'm so happy you're out of there!" She gives him a kiss. "You never told me you didn't have to stay in there!"
