Bucky's POV
I've noticed I sleep a lot. I'm probably up 8 hours of the day and sleeping the rest. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it's just easier. When i'm asleep I don't have to worry about anything. I don't feel any emotions. I heard that sleeping is the closest you get to dying without actually dying. I wonder if that's why I do it so often.
Never did I want to die, but now...it just seems so peaceful. What if y/n is waiting for me? Even our child would be there. The three of us together forever; never having to worry about anything. Wouldn't that be something...
I grabbed my phone checking the time, 4:30. I've barely been asleep for 30 minutes. Getting up from my bed I walked to the kitchen to make me a quick snack. I noticed it was pretty empty and quiet. Though it's never really loud. Sam would usually be watching TV in the living room. Him and Wanda must still be out on the mission. It's taking a but longer than I thought it would. Maybe I should call and check up on them.
I clicked the caller ID that read Sam. My phone rang as the call went through. There was a click then I heard Sam's voice. "Hello?"
"Sam? Are you-", I was interrupted by an explosion from the other side of the phone.
"Buck! This mission is not going good", Sam shouted.
"What's the problem?", my tone serious.
I heard Sam shout a couple orders to Wanda then answered back to me. "Some dumb scientist used himself as a lab rat. Now he's this 20ft tall mutant reeking havoc on New York. Buck, I know you had a hard time to day, but Wanda and I need you out here"
I paused before saying anything back. It's been awhile since i've been on a real mission. I've just been doing patrols these past years. It might actually do me some good going on a real mission. "Where are you?"
"Downtown!", he shouted over the screams of the civilians around him. "I'll be there in 5", I spoke confidently. I hung up the phone right after. Running down to the garage I grabbed my motorcycle and drove off.
The closer I got to downtown the more I could hear the destruction. Sam was flying above dodging the cars and chunks of the road the giant threw at him. Wanda was using her power to protect the pedestrians that are left near the area from pieces of building that were falling everywhere.
I quickly got off my bike and put my ear piece in. "Sam! I'm here!", I shouted. Sam looked down at the ground searching for me. His eyes landed on me and he spoke through his ear piece. "Great! You don't have a plan by any chance do you?"
I pulled a AR from the trunk of my bike and loaded it up. "You're Captain America. That's your job". Sam sighed. "So not fair".
Aiming my AR at the monster I shot straight at it's head. My bullets bounced straight off not even putting a dent in his skin. "What the hell?!"
"Yeah", Wanda grunted. "His skin is tough as steel. Simple AR bullets aren't gonna penetrate it"
I threw my gun to the side. "Guns are literally all I have", I groaned.
Suddenly Sam swooped down and grabbed me by my arms. A giant boulder of concrete landed where I was just standing. "Gotta be more careful of your surroundings, Buck!". Sam set me down on top of a building. He then landed next to me. "Sam...I'm completely useless in this situation", I confessed.
He stayed quiet for a moment like he was thinking of something. His eyes then lit up and a smile formed on his face. "I got a plan!"
"Great! What is it?", I asked. He lightly tapped his ear piece. "Wanda how are we doing with the civilians?"
"Everyone's evacuated", she said just as she landed behind us. We turned towards her. "Okay, here's the plan. Wanda and I will hide in that building", he pointed south towards in old warehouse. "Bucky, you'll be on the ground distracting the giant. Once you get his full attention Wanda and I will come out and knock him on his ass hopefully knocking him out in the process"
I nodded my head very sincerely. "and you expect me to distract him...how?"
Sam shrugged his shoulders. "I thought of the plan. The least you could do is figure that out". I flicked him in the head. "Punk"
Sam had some dorky smile on his face. "Why are you smiling like that", I asked. "Just...I missed bickering with you like this. I've missed this", he motioned to all three of us. "It's been pretty lonely these past 5 years"
I patted him on the back. "Yeah, it has..."
"Guys this is a lovely moment your sharing, but-", quickly Wanda stood up and shot a ball of her magic into the air. It came in contact with a car that was flying straight towards us. The car then fell straight to the ground. The giant growled in disappointment that it didn't hit us. "...we have bigger thing to deal with"
"Right, right. Buck, I'm gonna fly you down to the ground then Wanda and I will hide". I quickly gave him an "okay" and we all went to our positions.
I went back to my bike and started it up. I drove over to the giant and started to shout to get his attention. "Hey big guy!", he turned to me with a grunt. "Come catch me if you can!"
I revved up my engine and drove away. The giant roared cause the air around me to stir. I drove faster when I heard his stomps right behind me. I quickly turned to see him holding a giant piece of a building. "Shit", I revved again and went as fast as I could.
He aimed the giant boulder at me. Just as he was about to throw it Sam and Wanda smacked him in the head knocking him out. The boulder rolled from his grasp straight towards me. "Of course, it starts rolling straight at me!"
I waited until the boulder was at least a foot away then took a sharp turn. Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough and it hit the tip of my tire. I was thrown off my motorcycle flying straight to the ground. I was at least 15ft in the air so this fall wasn't going to be pretty. I closed my eyes and shielded my face. I waited for the impact of the ground, but it didn't come. Instead I felt something keep me a float.
Thank god, Wanda caught me.
I slowly opened my eyes. "Thanks Wan...da...", I turn to see Wanda helping Sam get the giant out of the street. Her attention is no where on me. I look down at my body to see a gold-ish aura surrounding me. Why does this look so familiar?
Getting the sense someone was watching me I looked to my right to see a hooded figure with their arms out towards me. A gust of wind blows and the hood slides off reveling their face. My eyes widen when I see the person underneath.
"...y/n?"
