If this is what it takes (Bucky Barnes x reader)

Chapter 9

Y/n POV:
Life with the Avengers got calmer and easier. I trained more often with Nat and sometimes Steve but I couldn’t beat him. Sammy always watched us, he wouldn’t let me go unless he came with me.
“Bucky, please.” I begged him again. “I don’t wanna hurt you, doll.” I sighed. “Come on. You won’t hurt me. Please.” I looked at him with my puppy eyes. “You are unbelievable.” He chuckled. “Is this a yes?” He nodded slowly. “Yey!” I jumped and hugged him. I’ve been trying to convince him to train or more fight against be, now for some days and I finally did it. “Come in! Let’s go. Nat's already waiting in the gym.” I exclaimed and pulled him at his arm.
As we entered the gym, I saw Nat standing in the middle of the room, already making warm-up and in a corner laid Sammy, sleeping calmly. Normally, Bucky would sit down next to Sammy and watch me but this time, he walked with me towards Nat.
“Convinced him?” She asked me. “Yup.” I replied and smiled brightly. “Take him easy, Phoebe.” Nat said and I chuckled. “He has a metal arm. I think we are even.” I joked and put off my pullover, leaving me in my sports bra.
“Are you ready for me kicking your ass?” I asked Bucky and got into my fight position. He smiled devilish and put off his shirt. I glared at him, what made him chuckle. “Make your move.”
I ran towards him with incredible speed. Inches before I reached him, he was about to block me, what I expected, so I slide onto my back and kicked him on his leg. I stood up and turned around, Bucky facing me. “Not too bad, doll.” I took a fast step towards him, swinging my fist to punch him, but he dodged it. I knew that he usually would’ve used his metal arm to block it. “You can fight normal.” I told him and rolled my eyes. “I should’ve known it. You are always saying that to me.”  “Bucky!” I hissed.
He didn’t hesitate and threw punches at me. I almost got hit by one but could dodge it. I breathed heavily. Then it was my turn. He dodged them with ease and at the last one, he topped me by holding my wrist only inches away from his face. We stared at each other for a moment when I stretched my right leg to my side, going down and spinning. I hit his leg and this time he fell to the ground. I smiled brightly. He jumped up in a matter if seconds and pushed me down.. I tried to push him away but his grip was hard at my waist. “Okay, you won.” I told him. “Buck, please let me go.” I pleaded and his grip loosened. I took the opportunity turned us and placed my legs on each side of him. “Or, I changed my mind.” I said and smiled. “I would have never thought, seeing you on top of me.” Bucky said smirking. “Bucky!” I hissed and Nat chuckled.
My eyes widened and I looked up. I had completely forgotten that Nat was still there. I jumped off of Bucky and went red. “I forgot you were there.” I mumbled and she laughed even more. “You did great.” She complemented me. “Just because I had the best coach.” I smiled. Bucky was now next to me, laying an arm around my neck. “Seems like Sammy lost it. He’s still sleeping.” Bucky said. “That’s sad.” But then I shrugged. “Let’s go. Then he can sleep a little longer.” I whispered and we all left.
“You tricked me.” Bucky said and I couldn’t stop the smile. “I did.” His voice got lower. “What happened to my good girl? You were so bad.” He whispered into my ear, knowing what this nickname made to me. “Was I so bad?” I asked with an innocent tone. “You tricked me to beat me.” He replied. “I sure did.” I giggled. “Well, I guess there’s a punishment in order.” He whispered again. Then we went to his room.

Steve POV:
“How did it go?” I asked as Nat entered the kitchen. “Y/n won.” I frowned. “Bucky must really like her. He never let anyone win.” Sebastian said. “He didn’t really let her win. She kinda tricked him. Funny though.” I looked at Sebastian. “You girls are unbelievable.” He said and we all started chuckling. “Still, she fought very good. Tony, you or more Fury should see her. She could be helpful.” Tony thought for a moment. “I will talk to Fury. She must be good if you say so.” I nodded in agreement. If Natasha said that someone could fight, then could fight. “Thank you, Tony. Also, I am sure she would love it. I see it in her eyes when she’s training, it makes her fun.” Natasha added. “I saw it too.” I told them.
Tony, Fury and I talked with Y/n and she was surprised but agreed to join the team and being an official member of the Avengers. She was thankful and couldn’t believe it.

Y/n POV:
“I’m gonna go gassy with Sammy." I said, took the leash and left the living room. “Have fun.” Sebastian said and I left.
“Come on, Sammy. Let’s go.” He came instantly, excited like always. “You got so big, but still, you’re my little pup.” I smiled and patted him, then we went outside. Normally I didn’t need the leash but I still took it with me. There were always people who freaked out when he walked freely.
We walked our normal route, when someone pulled me into a side street. “Ey!” I shouted and was thrown onto the ground. Sammy started barking and then it stopped and he winced. I stood up and looked around. I could see three men. “Come on. Let me go.” I said calmly. The tallest one started laughing. “You really just ask us to let you go?” I rolled my eyes. “Obviously.” He stopped laughing. “You gonna go nowhere.” I sighed. “You really want the hard way, do you?” He got angrier and walked towards me. “Brave little girl.” He threw his fist towards me and I dodged it. “I wouldn’t try if I were you.” I said angry. All three started laughing. “Wow, you dodged my punch and now you think you’re the queen? How sweet.” The two others grabbed each of my arm and tried to hold me in place. The, I guess, boss came towards me and when he was near enough, I kicked him into his balls. I got out of the grips of the others and they fall onto the ground. They were all on their feet in no time and I looked around, trying to think. Sammy ran towards me with a knife in his mouth. Where did he got that? I shook my head and took it. He attacked one of the shorter ones and bit him. I threw the knife at the other one and it hit him in his head. My eyes widened in shock. Since when can I throw like that?! And did I really just killed this guy?! My breath got heavier. The other one now laid on the ground too, seeming lifeless. I was pushed to the ground again and my head hit the ground pretty hard. Then everything went black.

Tony POV:
“Sir, there is someone at the entrance of the tower, who wants to get inside.” Jarvis’ voice sounded out of nowhere. “What does he want?” I asked. “I am not sure, but he is carrying Phoebe.” I ran out of my lab as fast as I could.
I went through the living room and saw the team. “Barnes, come with me. Now.” I demanded with a harsh voice. He looked at me with a confused expression but followed. We reached the entrance in no time. “What the fucking hell happened?!” Barnes exclaimed as he saw Y/n unconscious in the arms of a stranger. He went towards the man and Phoebe, angry. I grabbed his arm. “Calm down, Barnes.” He shot an angry glare at me. “I don’t what happened. This dog came and brought me to her then he went here and couldn’t let me go anywhere else.” The stranger explained. “Give her to me.” Barnes demanded and the man did, seeming afraid of him. Barnes took Y/n inside, Sammy following suit.
“So, you found her?” I asked turning my attention back to the man. “Kinda. Like I said, the dog brought me to her.” 
“Anything else important to know?” He nodded slowly. “There were three men, three dead men. I already called the police and told them the exact same. The dog wouldn’t stop barking and running around until I took the girl and followed him here.” I sighed. “Thank you. You can go now.” The man nodded one last time and left; I then went after Barnes.

Bucky POV:
“Banner!” I shouted. “I need your help.” I added. He came, a questioning expression on his face. I looked at Y/n then back at him, not knowing what to say. He gave me a nod and I laid her onto the table of his lab.
He made some tests and after some minutes he gave me a soft smile. I let go of a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “She’ll be fine, maybe a concussion but nothing worse than that.”
“Thank you.” I said and took her. I brought her to our room, laying her onto the bed and feeling like dechavue. I kissed her on the forehead and left the room quietly.
“I swear by god, I will kill the person who did this.” I hissed and Stark grabbed my arm again. “Too late. They are already dead. Don’t ask me. I know as much as you do. We must wait until Y/n wakes up. I sighed. “She’ll be fine, Buck.” Steve tried to calm me. “I know. I will be with her.” I replied and went back to our room.
As I entered the room, I saw Y/n sitting in the bed. She looked up, her hands covered her moth and tears filled her eyes. I rushed to her and embraced her gently. “Hey. I am here. You’re save.” I told her in a calming tone. “I- I killed him.” She stuttered. I hugged her tighter. “Calm down and tell me what happened, okay, doll?” She nodded slowly. “I was outside with Sammy-” She stopped. “Are you okay?” She looked around. “Where is he?” Y/n started panicking. “Sammy is alright. He is in the living room.” I assured her. She sighed relieved and continued. “I was outside with Sammy when a man pulled me into a side street. I told him, he shouldn’t mess with me, there were two others. Then, before I knew it, we were fighting. Sammy helped me and found a knife. I threw it and-“ Y/n started crying again. “It’s okay. You didn’t have another choice.” She shook her head. “I killed this man. I knew this could happen if we were on a mission, but this is different.” She sobbed. “Sammy took down the second one. Then I was pushed down, and everything went black.” She finished and started crying again. “It’s okay. I am here.” I comforted her. We stayed like this for a while when she fell asleep. I left the room again to tell the others.
The first thing I did, was going to Sammy and petted him. “Thank you little one. You probably saved her life. I owe you.” The I turned around.

Y/n POV:
I woke up and looked at the time. It was 9pm. I sighed and put one of Bucky’s shirts on. That was much more comfortable.
I went down to find Bucky, Steve, Natasha, and Peter watching a movie, Sammy was calmly sleeping on the couch. “Hey.” I mumbled with a sleepy voice. Steve stopped the movie and they all turned around. Bucky jumped off sofa and wrapped his arms around me. “Hey. How do you feel?” He asked, letting go of me. “Pretty good except of my head, but that’s to so bad.” I assured him. He kissed me softly and we sat down. Sammy was now awake and jumped onto my lap the second I sat down. “Hey, Sammy. Missed me?” I asked and patted him. He laid down and started sleeping again.
“What are you watching?”
“Wanda.” Bucky joked. I nudged him. “Which one?” Natasha chuckled. “The fourth.” My eyes widened. “That’s my favorite one, yet I always cry at the end.” Now Peter was the one who chuckled. I took a popcorn and threw it at him. “I liked Cedric.” I said, cuddling into Bucky’s chest. “I thought you liked George?” Natasha asked. I shrugged, “They are both hot.”
“Your boyfriend is present.” Bucky reminded me. I chuckled. “Of course, you’re the hottest of all of them.” I said, kissing him. Sammy stood up and went into probably Bucky’s and my room. “Is it possible that dogs can get jealous?” I asked jokingly. “I don’t know, but it is no question that he is the cutest of all, even Bucky.” Nat chuckled. “Agree.” Steve started the movie again.
I sat there leaning forward and almost falling off the couch. “No!” I shouted and tears started filling my eyes. Bucky hugged me from behind and I jumped a little. “Sorry.” I said as I realized that I wasn’t alone. “I am always emotional when I watch a movie, especially if it’s one I like.”
“Noticed it.” Steve said and everyone started laughing except of me. “I looked back at the TV and saw the scene where Voldemort, this disgusting, stupid thing, put his feet onto Cedric’s face. I got angry. “Stark would probably be angry if I shoot the TV, right?” I joked and we all started laughing again. “He would get over it.” Natasha replied. “It’s not like he has enough money.” Bucky chuckled. “He will die in the end anyway.” I shrugged. “Hey! I didn’t watch the last movie yet!” Peter exclaimed. “Oh, I am sorry, but believe me when there are enough things that will shock you.” I stood up. “I’ll be in our room. I am tired, but you can finish the movie.” I said, giving Bucky a kiss and leaving. “Night, Phoebe!”
“Night, guys.”
I walked into the room, rubbing my eyes. When I looked up, I saw Loki. “What the hell!” I half shouted. “Shh.” He hushed me. “How the fucking hell did you got out of your cell?” I asked crossing my arms.
