Alone

Sleepy-head

I trained with Bucky for a little while before he took me to go eat. We ate lunch. I haven't said anything since going to the training room this morning just hostile glares. He looks upset which is how he should be.

"I'm going out, I'm sick of being stuck with all of you." I said giving him eye contact.

"Not a chance missy. You are still very much grounded." He said sternly.

"I don't have to listen to you. I don't even want to be here. Technically your word can't legally keep me here." I said smugly getting up.

"Friday lock everything in this room."

"Go away." I groaned glaring at Bucky as I slid against the door.

"Aww. I get it you want freedom but actions have consequences remember." Bucky said this in a very cruel way. He sat down beside me. I laid my head against him subconsciously effectively getting him to stop talking. Exhaustion took me over as he pulled me into his arms. I began to fall asleep after not sleeping more than two hours a night well it just happened.

Bucky's POV

As much as I can see she is trying to keep us out she is slowly breaking its just when we get there. I know it's going to be tough but, I know that we are going to get there soon.

"Mr Barnes I've been told to inform you there is a meeting commencing in 5 minutes and Director Fury has requested yourself and Miss Lards presence." Friday said. Well let's be honest there is no way she'll go by her own freewill and I doubt she gets enough sleep. I stood up Harvey still in my arms. I placed her arms around my neck her head on one side. Holding her like a little child. It really scares me how little she is for her age. I get Jarvis to unlock the doors and start walking to the meeting room. I walk in everyone as usual looks to see who's coming. Looks of confusion and awe across the room.

"She fell asleep, I didn't want to wake her." I shrugged sitting down a child still fast asleep in my arms.

"Ok that's sweet but I want her on this mission so wake her up" Fury said brutally.

"Can't we just wait till later, you know how little that kid sleeps." Clint butted in.

"Fine but you have to give her the mission brief." Fury growled.

Fury explained the mission to us.
We're going to be undercover for a few weeks maybe months.

"You leave in 15 minutes get whatever you need." Tony said.

"You gonna wake the kid?" Natasha asked.

"Nah, she's not going to agree to come on the mission." I said.

"Besides, she keeps all of her stuff packed in a duffel bag, it's pretty well hidden and she'll move it now she knows I know where it is but, it means don't need to wake her yet." I explained. Nat nodded at me before leaving as I went to my room to get my stuff. I've never seen this kid sleep so deeply. I exited my bedroom and went into Harvey's. I placed her softly on her bed and went and dug through her wardrobe for her duffel bag then check it had her bow and suit. I swung the small tatty bag over my shoulder and checked the time. 2 minutes. I lifted Harvey onto my chest before exiting the room. Finally, we walked to the quinjet.

'you going to wake her at some point, Buck you really should,' Steve stated as I walked through the doors.

Harveys POV

'you going to wake her at some point, Buck you really should,' is the first thing I heard as I woke up what the hell there is no way I fell asleep.

i take a moment to take in my surroundings before coming to the realisation I'm being carried.

'Put. Me. Down.' I said with venom in my voice as Bucky places me on the ground.

'well hello to you sleepy head.' Bucky said mockingly. I then proceeded to punch him in the gut.

'ok, no absolutely not young lady.' Steve looked at me with a stern glint in his eye.

'wait, where are we?' then realising I didn't recognise  my surroundings.

'on the quinjet, we're leaving in about a minute so go sit down.'  Nat complained looking at Bucky and Steve too.

I rolled my eyes.

'Harvey, come on let me show you how to buckle in.' Natasha stated as I reluctantly followed her.  She took me to a seat with a Velcro name tag of my name and made me sit down.

'ok so it clips together in the middle, like so.' Natasha began.

'What happened to me being grounded?" I asked smugly.
"Missions don't count, besides it's not like you are allowed to do anything interesting." Natasha said in her usual manner.

I roll my eyes feeling surprisingly refreshed, and for once not in pain. Something I definitely haven't felt in a really long time.

I look up at Natasha watching me.
"I thought we were leaving soon why haven't you buckled in yet." I commented harshly.

"I'm flying the quinjet I decide when we leave." She replied walking away from me. Wait, we're going on a mission, as the Avengers. Nope can't be bothered to make a scene yet. Later though, I never agreed to be an Avenger.
