Love Touch|| Bucky Barnes

Tony's pov

I turn to Steve "did you have to say that to her? You know she's sensitive" he sighs "I was gentle about it Tony. But I don't want her to somehow trigger him with her touching" I say "I get that but touching is how she expresses herself Steve. It was common sense that she'd have to not do it or take it slow with Bucky. Now if you'll excuse me i have to find my daughter who most likely won't want to touch anyone for a while"

His eyes soften "I didn't mean to make her upset or make her want to stop. I just-" I cut him off "I know Rogers." And get to her floor and to her room and I see her laying in her bed. I sit next to her "you know Steve is sorry" she asks "does my touching annoy you?" Her voice soft. I kiss her head "no, sweetheart. It doesn't. You know...your mother was the same way? Fast, and expressed herself through touching and was a comfort to everyone? It was in her blood just like it's in yours. Don't be ashamed of that" she curls into me "I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable" "if they're uncomfortable they'll tell you, and you know that Reese. Steve just meant to start slow with Barnes. I know seeing and feeling how he is it'll take a bit of you to not hug or touch him but...he's been through a lot" I tell her. She nods "so this touching thing is a power?" "To an extent. I never figured out exactly what it was but your mother said it ran in the females of her family for generations. Picking one every new generation...so now...it's you sweetheart" I reply.

She nods and mutters "I miss her" I sigh "I know" her mother hid the fact that she had Reese from me up until she was 5. Sandra and I were very much in love and our relationship was tumultuous. My drinking and cheating had a lot to do with it, and she stayed. Then she called it quits and I never saw her again. Then one day I was at the office and I got a visit. From lawyers and whatnot, they said they had my daughter and her mother was killed. Reese saw it happen. Thankfully we caught the guy. But my innocent 5 year old saw her mother die.

I didn't believe I had a kid. That Sandra hid it from me. She left a note explaining that she was afraid I wouldn't want Reese. And that I wasn't ready to be a father even if I did want Reese. And I don't blame her for thinking that. So I took her in. She's my kid so of course I took her in. It took a while for me to even get her to talk but I did. She'd cry about her mother for months. Have nightmares and all I could do was hold her. And now we're close as can be.

Her door opens and Wanda sighs "I need a hug" I smile and kiss her head "do your thing kid. And don't change for anyone. Just take it easy with Barnes. That's it" and she nods and Wanda takes my place.
