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

Final Chapter

“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. “Remember the day, you went into my cell? I used an illusion and kinda turned into a dog.”
“You- What!?”
“Calm down.” I sighed. “The others are thinking about letting you out and now this? I won’t tell them.”
“Thank you.”
“But why did you do that?” I asked curiously. “I wanted to be with you.” He admitted. I sighed. “You could’ve asked me to visit you more often.” He shook his head. “That wouldn’t have been the same.” He took a step towards me. “I am sorry if I didn’t visit you that often.” I apologized. “You don’t have to apologize; it was my fault.” I sighed again. I walked towards Loki, giving him a hug. He returned it and we parted away. “I will do my best to convince the others that you can walk freely around end of this week.” I told him.
He stared at me for a moment and then grabbed me by the waist and kissed me.

Bucky POV:
I helped cleaning up and went to Phoebe’s and my room. I opened the door and saw Loki pressing his lips onto Phoebe’s. She pushed him away imminently. She looked at me, tears filling her eyes. “Please, Bucky. It isn’t what it looks like.”
“I know.” I growled and went towards Loki, punching him with my metal arm, making him fall onto the ground. I bend down, ready to do the same again but Y/n stopped me. “Bucky, don’t please.” Her voice cracked and I turned around. She looked at me wit a shocked, sad, and anxious expression. “I am sorry.” I whispered. She shook her head. “You don’t need to be.” Loki stood up. “Phoebe, I am-“
“Just go.” Y/n interrupted him. Loki sighed and got out. “Please don’t be mad at me.” She begged. “I am not, and I won’t. It wasn’t your fault.” I said, hugging her. We went to bed, and I fell asleep almost immediately.
I woke up in the middle of the night by a loud noise. “тоска (longing)” My eyes widened in shock. “Y/n wake up!” I shouted, shacking her. “ржавый (rusted)” My second trigger word. “What is going on?” Y/n asked confused. “семнадцать (seventeen)” My mind went slowly blurry. “рассвет (daybreak)” I started sweating and could feel him fighting for dominance. “My trigger words.” I mumbled under my breath, trying to fight him. “печь (furnace)”
“Stay with me, Bucky, please.” Y/n begged and my heart broke. I wasn’t strong enough to fight it. “девять (nine)”
“Steve! Sebastian! Help, please!” Y/n shouted. “доброкачественный (benign)” I started screaming, I couldn’t handle it anymore. “Go!” I demanded but she didn’t move. “I can’t hurt you.”
“You won’t.” I could her that she was crying. “возвращение на родину (homecoming)” The door rushed open. I guessed it were Steve and Sebastian. “You need to go, Phoebe.” Seb demanded. But she wouldn’t listen to him either. “один (one)” Steve pulled Y/n away. She was shouting but Steve was stronger and was able to get her outside. “груз (freight)”
“I am so sorry, Phoebe.” I said under pain and with tears. “автомобиль (car)” Then I went unconscious, and he won.

Y/n POV:
“Let me go! I need to help him! Steve, please!” But his grip was hard, and he dragged me outside. “Phoebe, you can’t win a fight against the Winter Soldier.” Teras were still streaming down my face. “I can’t lose him. I can’t leave him.” I cried out and Steve hugged me. “I will bring him back. I promise.” He said and went back inside, leaving me alone. I fell onto my knees and started crying harder. “Now, Winter Soldier, kill her.” My head shot up. I knew this voice. “Liam?” Why did he do that? Was he part of Hydra? Why does he wanted me to die?
I looked around and saw him. “What are you doing, Liam?!” I shouted angrily. “Hydra found me and helped me, opened my eyes and when I saw you with, how you call him, Bucky, I saw my chance. He escaped Hydra and now he’s gonna regret it.” He laughed and then vanished.
“Phoebe! Are you okay?” I heard Nat’s voice and turned around. “I am but Bucky won’t. Liam, an old friend of mine, he works for Hydra, and they want revenge.” I explained as fast as I could. “Nat, they want him to suffer.”
“We won’t let that happen. But first, we need to get you as far away from him as possible.”
“No. I won’t leave. Also, I am sure, I can bring him back, I am probably the only one who can.” Natasha shook her head and grabbed my arm, but I pulled away. “I’ll do it, with or without you.” She sighed. “Then better with me than without.” I smiled weakly. “What’s the plan?”

Sebastian POV:
“Come on, Buck. You can fight it!” I knew Bucky was still there. “Who the hell is Bucky?” The Winter Soldier asked. “You’re not gonna win!” He started laughing. “I already did.” He pulled out a gun and started shooting. I jumped out of the room and behind the wall. “Where is the girl?!”
“Won’t happen mate!” I ran outside. “Jarvis, inform everyone, he is back.” I said on my way outside, the Winter Soldier right behind me.
“Just kill him already!” The same voice who said the trigger words sounded again. “He didn’t hesitate and shot at me again. “Bucky! You are stronger than that! Remember when we met? Remember when we went together to Wakanda? Fight it!” He hesitated for a moment but shot again. “That’s it! Fight him!” Then I saw Phoebe. “Shit!”
Bucky looked at her ant shot but missed her with only inches. “You don’t wanna do this!” But he ignored me and went after her, me right behind him.

Y/n POV:
“Bucky, please. You can do it. You remember the day we met? I stood in the elevator, staring at you like a little child. I couldn’t believe how handsome you were. The same day, you saved my life.” I looked into his eyes and saw him. “Please, come back. I need you, more than anything. “Kill her!” Liam yelled and Bucky pulled his gun up and pulled the trigger.
“No!” Nat and Seb yelled at the same time. I could already see it, but Nat jumped in front of me. “NO!” I cried out and fell onto my knees. Then there was a green light and Loki laid in front of me. “Loki?” More tears filled my eyes, and I wrapped my arms around him. “This wasn’t supposed to happen. Why did you do that?” I mumbled. “Because your life is more important than mine.”
“Loki no. Please, no. Don’t.” He gave me one last smile. “I don’t regret it and you know why? Because you’re the reason why I believe in love.” And then nothing. “Loki? Loki!!! No!” I hold him tighter.
I looked up and at Bucky. “Why him?” I cried out and he let his gun fall to the ground. “Phoebe.” His eyes full of pain and regret. “Bucky?” He nodded. Sebastian ran past him and got down, right next to Loki. “Come on, Loki. Come on.” Tears started filling his eyes. “I am sorry.” Bucky said. “Go!”
“Seb I-“
“Just go!!!” He yelled and Bucky ran into the opposite direction. I looked at him then back at Loki. More tears escaped my eyes, but I had to follow him. “I am sorry Loki.” I mumbled and went after Bucky. “Right, just go and look after the one whose fault this is!” Sebastian yelled but I couldn’t let Bucky alone not again.

Bucky POV:
I lost Sebastian and Phoebe. They wouldn’t forgive me for what I did. I went into my room and smashed everything. I pulled out a bag and started putting clothes and some other stuff into it when I grabbed a picture of me and Phoebe.

Flashback
“Please try it on. It would look great on you.” She begged me and I grabbed the suit. “But only for you, doll.” I said, kissing her. “Thanks.” She exclaimed happily, what made me smile. “I love how you smile.” She smiled even brighter. “Then go at put the suit on.” I rolled my eyes playfully and went into the bathroom.
I put it on and when I went outside, she was gone. “Phoebe?” I asked and looked around. I looked in her room, but she wasn’t there either. I looked through the whole tower and ended up on the roof. I opened the door, and everything was decorated and right in front of me was Y/n n the most beautiful dress I’ve every seen. The team was right behind her. “Happy Birthday Bucky!” Everyone shouted but my eyes never left her. “Thank you, guys.” I said and walked towards them. I wrapped my arms around Phoebe’s waist and kissed her with all the love and passion I had.

Tears started leaving my eyes and I fell onto my knees. I screwed up. “Bucky? Bucky?!” I heard Y/n calling out my name. I shot my head up and there she was. “I am so sorry.” I spoke. “Shh. It wasn’t your fault, Bucky.” I shook my head. “If I was able to fight him but I wasn’t.” She wrapped her arms around me. “We should never ask ourselves, the question What if? I don’t blame you and I never will because I love you.” She said, giving me a soft but passionate kiss. “I love you too.” I replied and meant it with all my heart.
“He will never forgive me. I saw him angry and sad before but this is different.” I said, looking down at my hands. “He will. Loki and Sebastian shared a bond. It was a kind of friendship that you don’t find often. Imagine it was him. He about to kill Loki and I jump in the way.” Only thinking about it made me crazy and new tears running down my face. Y/n sat herself onto my lap and kissed me. “Don’t, please. I am here. I am sorry that I wasn’t earlier when you needed me to fight him.” I kissed her again. “As much as I would like it, we can’t change the past.” She nodded sadly and stood up. “We should go back down.” I sighed; she was right. I stood up and took her hand. Then we made our way down.

Y/n POV:
We went back to Sebastian and Loki. It was still the same scene. I looked at them and then at Bucky. He let my hand go and I made my way to the two others. I kneeled down and laid my hand onto Loki’s chest. “Maybe it was weird that you stalked me as a dog but in the end, that saved my life. I promised you, you would be free and I am so sorry that I couldn’t keep my promise.” I sobbed.
I turned my head slightly and looked at Sebastian. “He wasn’t the villa.” He looked up and nodded. “He never was.” Were the words he could say. Then my eyes widened. “Seriously, Loki?” I asked a little annoyed. Sebastian looked at me, confused. “Forgot that you had that weird thing.” Loki answered. “Oh and you really think, a little bullet can kill me. I’m still a God.” I nudged him. Sebastian’s expression was relieved and he hugged Loki. “We really gotta do that sentimental shit now?” Loki asked jokingly. “You started it with your playing dead.” I smiled a little. “Thank you, Loki.” I said and stood up, making my way back to Bucky.
“You just leave me here?” He asked trying to sound hurt. “Obviously.” I chuckled.

~time skip~
Everything went back to normal. The others let Loki walk freely around the tower, still having an eye on him but it was something. Sebastian and Bucky were good again like I thought.
I woke up this morning by Bucky wrapping his arms around me. “Good morning, Princess and Happy Birthday.” He whispered into my ear. “Good morning handsome.” I replied turning around and placing a kiss on his lips. That’s when my tummy growled. “I assume there’s someone hungry?” Bucky asked and chuckled. “Only a little.” I giggled. “Then let’s get you breakfast.”
I nodded and we stood up, making our way into the kitchen where everyone was waiting. A cake in the middle of the table. “Happy Birthday!” They all exclaimed at the same time. I smiled widely. “Thank you so much guys.” Natasha walked towards me and gave me a hug. I smiled at everyone and looked back but Bucky wasn’t there anymore. I looked questioning and then he came back with a large box. He put it down. “Open it.” He smiled and I kneeled down. “You didn’t.” I said looking up at Bucky. “I saw how you always looked at the dogs when we were outside and how happy you were with Sammy or Loki but still.” I took the puppy gently out of the box and kissed his head. “You’re so adorable.” I mumbled. It was a black Labradoodle.
“Looks like someone got concurrence again.” Sebastian joked. “Can I suggest a name?” Bucky asked and I stood up still holding the puppy. “Go on.” I smiled. “Cedric.” I looked at the puppy. “What do you think little one. Cedric sounds good right?” He licked my hand. “Great idea Bucky.”
“As long as it isn’t Loki again.” He chuckled. “I am right here!” Loki half yelled. “Who knows? Just kidding.” I laughed.
I looked around my eyes stopping at Bucky. I thought about how I got here, what I went through and I didn’t regret anything. I almost died a multiple time but if that’s what it takes to find the ones you can call family and the love of your life then I would it do all over again. I couldn’t even imagine where I would be now if I hadn’t met Sebastian and he hadn’t insisted that I would meet the other Avengers.  I couldn’t wish for more.

The End.
