Unfortunately Fortunate [Stucky x Reader]

Chapter 51

It takes a while for Bucky to calm down enough to stop punching the bags, but he still has too much energy. You hear him move around but can't pinpoint what exactly that he is doing. 
Steve and you are seated against a wall, you're deep in thoughts. Trying to figure out what this nagging feeling is that has been present since your powers took over with that woman.

"What are you thinking about?" Steve whispers.
"I just have a feeling that there is something wrong? Like, my gift is evolving and I just keep having this nagging feeling since it took over today to keep everyone safe." 
"Could it be Zemo?"
"It might be. I'm not sure. It's just a nagging feeling, it is not talking to me, nor really present." 
Steve hums, probably in thought about what you just said. 
"We'll figure it out. If it gets worse or just feels different, please talk to us about it. I know Buck is a bit worked up about Zemo being here now, but we both would make time for you."
"Thanks."

The both of you keep seated until your ass cheeks are becoming numb and exhaustion is taking over again. 
"Buck, darling, I'm going to bed. Steve can stay here if you still want to go at it?"
You hear movement stop, silence for a bit. 
As there is no answer after a few moments, you get up.

"Sweetheart, it is okay to keep going. I'll ask Jarvis to keep you updated on Zemo's movements, plus, Loki's room is across mine. I should be okay. I don't want you to be alone right now." 
"Promise you'll keep me updated and call for us in case something goes wrong?" Bucky's voice sounds pained in a way.
"Of course, I promise. Now come get here so I can give you a quick kiss."
Movement and then a hand on your cheek.
"I love you, Doll."
"Love you too, darling." Your lips touch each other, the kiss is quick, but the message came across; I love you, it is okay.

"Steve?" you ask as you turn slightly. "Right here." you hear him getting up. 
"Keep our Sir safe." You wink, hoping you are slightly in the right direction of Steve. 
"Will do sweetheart." He presses his lips to yours too, a promise in it to keep Bucky safe.

"Good night the both of you." 
You walk to what you assume is the direction of the door. 
Jarvis starts his directions after you close the gym doors behind you.

"Hey J, can you wake me when Bucky is still going at it in the gym while his body is exhausted?"
"Of course, Y/n."
Jarvis leads you to the elevator.
"We're making a stop in the living room." He says before you feel the elevator leave.
"Is there a reason?" 
"Yes, Loki wants to go up too."

You smile. 
The elevator doors open, a surprised sound comes from Loki.
"Y/n, I wasn't expecting you here."
"Bucky is still going at it in the gym and I got tired."
"And he let you go up our hallway alone?"
"I left no room for discussion." you smile. 

"The dogs would feel safer if they could join you?"
"Sure, come with sweethearts." 
You feel your furbabies around your legs as the elevator moves up.

When you arrive at the right level you all move to your respective doors. You open the door, not hearing Loki do the same.
"Need any help?" 
"Yes, if that is possible?" 
"Of course. What do you need help with?"
"I want joggings from Steve and a hoodie from Bucky. Steve should be left side of the closet, Bucky right side." 
You hear Loki moving around, opening doors, while you feel the nagging feeling go up a bit again.

"I thought you were with the soldiers?" you hear from behind you. 
You turn around and feel a little second where you don't feel that much in control. 
"I wouldn't scare her like that anymore. We will not stand in for the consequences if she loses control." Loki says.

Hope presses her nose against your knee and you give her a pet before breathing out evenly until you feel the ache in your lungs. 
"Okay, yeah, please try to announce yourself when I am clearly elsewhere with my thoughts." 
"I though your other senses would kick in?"
"My thoughts were elsewhere." 
"My apologies then. I will be more careful."
"Weren't you to stay in your room during the night?"
"I am. But I heard you and him..." "them." Loki interrups. "I heard the both of you and this door was open so I decided to check." 
"Hmmm, okay. I wouldn't push your luck too much. Bucky isn't the only possessively protective one." 
"I can see that now. I'll leave you to it then. Should I keep quiet on your encounter with Loki?"
"No, Bucky and Steve know Loki and I became close friends. Nothing to hide here." 

This time you hear the Sokovian baron move away. A door opening and closing, muffled footsteps because of a closed door. 
"You got the clothing?" you ask Loki as you turn around.
"I did. I laid it out on the bed. Would you like me to give it to you?"
"No it is fine. Thank you Loki."
"Of course Y/n. Now please change and go to sleep, I'll strengthen my wards so I know if he moves out of his room while your boyfriends are gone."
"Thanks Lokes. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Y/n." 

You hear Loki close the door to your room, so you move to the bed and feel for where the clothing is laid out. When you find it, you quickly change into it and move to the middle of the bed. 
"Up." you say in the room, and mere moments later you are surrounded by the dogs. Hope next to you, snout against your neck. Cass against your back. Kit and Rhys half over your legs. You smile before whispering them a goodnight and asking Jarvis to turn off the light in case it was still on. 

It doesn't take long for you to drift of to sleep. A dream at first, slowly changing to more of a nightmare. The feeling of being trapped again, of the torture, the pain. It enraptures your whole being. You feel your breathing quicking, hear their voices, almost smell the house again. You try to outrun it, but the voices come closer, yelling. 
A hand on your arm, they got you! You have to get away, no more.

"Y/N! Y/N WAKE UP!" you finally hear, you feel your hand around a throat, you only feel slightly in control of your body. 
A stumbling before more people get in the room.
"Doll, you're safe. Jarvis called that you were having a nightmare and Loki couldn't help. It is okay to let go now." 
You are confused. They were trying to torture her, why should they defend those people?
"Y/n, it's me, Loki. I am here, it is okay. It's not them." 
That voice sounds familiar, the name too. 

The body underneath you tries to move so you clench your hand a bit.
"okay, not moving. Please loosen up the grip." They sound in pain. They are not fighting back, why not? And why haven't the other people try to attack her like they always do?
"Sweetheart, you are at the Stark Tower, Bucky and me are your boyfriends. You are pinning  Loki on the ground now, your best friend if I presume that correctly. Jarvis is the AI that Tony made, so you might hear him too. You are not in your nightmare."

A snout pushed on your arm, another one against your neck. Dogs, they didn't have dogs. These seem gentle.
It snaps in place then and you move away quickly.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry Loki, I didn't mean to hurt you, I though you  were those of my pa... nightmare."
"It's okay Y/n, I know you didn't mean to. You didn't hurt me." 
You are still shaking when you hear someone get closer.

"Want us to go to the kitchen and enjoy a hot chocolate or a tea?" It's Bucky.
"I... yes please." 
You get up and look lost for a moment before you feel how a hand gently takes yours. 
"Come one, we're getting hot chocolate. Maybe we could make American Cookies too." 
"Mind if I join you too?" Loki asks. You smile and nod.

Not much later the four of you are in the elevator going down to the common room level. 
The elevator doors open and you are met with the scent of baking. 
"Jarvis told me you had a nightmare and I was still up so I decided to bake a few things. Tony is making the hot chocolate from scratch right now." 
Your eyes start watering at Natasha's words.
"Thank you."
"Of course, now Bucky, grab your two lovers and seat yourself on the couch, make yourself comfortable. We'll bring everything and join you in the living room. We could talk or just do our own thing while being close. Whatever is needed."

In the end it you decide you want to hear Steve and Buck read to you, and they do. 
Natasha, Loki and Tony listen too.
The soft comforting voices of Bucky and Steve help you drift off to a peaceful sleep now. 
With gentle dreams.
