Bucky Barnes' Heartsong

Dream of Peace

I heard the birds. They were singing. It was like a silly Disney tune. I swear I thought I was in a confrontation a few moments ago. What is happening? Wasn't I about to kill my own cousin?! No wait now I hear movement. Someone is breathing next to me. 

"I know you're awake doll. I can hear your breathing change slightly. It's okay. I'm right here." 

"James?" Lyra asked as she slowly opened her eyes. 

She saw him then lying next to her on their big king size bed. He was in a t-shirt and jeans no shoes or socks. He had his bare feet rubbing the covers where her was safely tucked under. She stared at him for moment then looked around a bit. She smiled for a moment content in just lying next to this godlike man next to her who was smiling at her but his eyes showed concern. 

 James' eyes always give him away  Wait...That's right he's concerned because of before. Wait how did we get back here.

"James what the hell? Why are we in bed?!" she yelled at him as she gently smacked his cheek. 

" OUCH!" he mocked pain, rubbing his cheek and chuckled. "What are you talking about this is where we've been since Sara finally went to sleep about 2 hours ago." But his eyes showed he wasn't entirely truthful

"We were in the lab Sharon was trying to take Sarah and I think  I... " Her head began to pound and she felt sick. 

Bucky picked her up and rushed her to the bathroom. She immediately threw up.

"So sorry sweetie Strange said this might happen."

"Strange? As in the Sorcerer? He did this to me?" 

She picked her head out the toilet as it all came flooding back to her and she remembered she was about to kill Sharon. All the anger and rage everything that had happened to her, Luke, Erik and Daisy being kidnapped, Bucky being kidnapped and tortured, then she tried to take their newborn daughter. All of it was just too much for Lyra and she snapped. The rage took over. Her vision was nothing but red. 

Bucky...James...her James... Sarah's father...Her love...he was pleading with her to stop. He was trying to get her to release her grip..

"Baby please. Doll this isn't you...She isn't worth it.. Sam and I well take her to the raft. She'll never see the light of day again....She'll pay Lyra I promise....Please baby this isn't you...I don't want you to do this. It will haunt you my love. Please.."  

Sharon's face was almost purple. She was squirming under Lyra's grasp her eyes begging her to stop but Lyra was too far gone.

"Sargent Barnes"  Dr. Strange entered the room taking in the scene and requesting that Bucky step back. "She's too far gone a blood rage has taken over her mind. She isn't thinking rationally. I've see this before. Let me do something. It may be the only way to save Sharon's miserable life. " 

He began  moving his hands and fingers in different patterns and a weird yellow light started to emanate at the edges of Lyra's vision. She started to loosen her grip but she didn't want to. She couldn't...Her eyes began to close...

No she has to pay

Then there was blackness and a strange dream. She was in a cottage. Somewhere in Europe. 

Oh I've always wanted to go to Europe. 

James was there dressed in his tightest t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He was making breakfast as she walked into the tiny living area. There was a baby swing and Sarah was joyfully swinging and cooing while music played. She heard Erik outside laughing and playing.
