Say Something - A Great Big World
*Bucky's POV*
After a while, the police leave and I sit alone on the doorstep, looking into my disheveled apartment. Our apartment. It turned out that Sam called ahead and got the NYPD to do a rush on all the forensics. It's still gonna be a while, so it's an active crime scene. Nobody allowed in.
Leaning on the doorframe, I barely notice as Alpine approaches in front of me. My thoughts are interrupted when he brushes his body up against my leg.
Bucky
"Where the hell have you been?"
Before I can look away from the carnage and towards the cat, I hear a voice from the end of the hall.
Sam
"I got here as soon as I could."
For a moment, I turn my head towards him. My expression is blank and yet still full of pain. Not wanting to look at him for too long, I turn back to the apartment and continue to scan for anything that could tell me what happened to her.
Bucky
"I was too late. Now she's gone because of me."
Sam
"You can't blame yourself, Buck."
Bucky
"Can't I? Sharon took her, to hurt me. She's gone, because she got close to me... She's gonna hurt her isn't she?"
Sam takes a moment to plan his response, but the silence is enough.
Sam
"She said that if we don't work fast enough, she-"
Bucky
"She'll motivate us."
I look up at him from my pathetic pile on the floor. He bows his head to avoid eye contact which, again, is enough of an answer.
Sam
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you to come on this mission."
Finally, I scoop up the cat and stand with my shoulders slouched and my jacket in one hand, hanging by my side. Exhausted, I plod down the hallway towards him, brushing his shoulder a little too hard on the way past.
Bucky
"No. You shouldn't."
