⇨ when the explosion echoed through the compound, bucky was sure that they were under attack. which, honestly, wasn't that surprising. if you asked anyone on the team, they'd say they would be surprised it hadn't happened before. the location of the compound was pretty much public knowledge. if you dedicated enough time to digging around, it wouldn't be very hard to find out the exact address.
⇨ bucky often thought that they needed to ask the wakandans for help in hiding the avengers location, but the wakandans had already offered so much help. he didn't want them to feel like the team was using them. so, he kept his mouth shut.
⇨ except now, he really, really, really wished that he hadn't. because, now, it seemed like the compound was under attack. and he could have done something to stop it.
⇨ but those worries all dissolved into an entirely different type of worry when he saw the real cause of the explosion.
⇨ "what the hell did you do?!" bucky said when he reached you, seeing you surrounded by the rubble.
⇨ "...that explosion wasn't mine," you quickly said. you spared a glance to the piles of rubble behind you. "...those other two on the other hand..."
⇨ "there were two others?!"
⇨ "you're a deep sleeper," you said with a shrug. "anyways, it's fine, totally fine. i mean, besides the red gooey stuff coming out of."
⇨ "do you have no concern for your own safety?!" he said, scooping you in his arms, carrying you bridal style to the infirmary.
⇨ "jesus? is that you?" you ask.
⇨ "no, just bucky," he said.
⇨ "mm, so better than jesus. whatcha doin' bucky?"
⇨ "i'm about to lecture you on this little thing called self-preservation. but, first, we gotta get you patched up, okay?"
⇨ "mm, okay."
