Unfortunately Fortunate [Stucky x Reader]

Chapter 54

Bucky's POV

Sitting down on the sofa, waiting for Tony to come back down, I feel myself getting anxious what Y/n endured.
"How bad was it?" I ask Loki, my tone worried.
"Bad, and if I may believe what she said, this wasn't even the worst of it."

I get up and starts pacing the room, needing to move around before I explode in anxious energy as to what Steve's and mine's Doll had to endure.

"There will be some questions left unanswered." Loki says as he hears the elevator door open and Tony getting out.
I focus back to the Norse God, who looks pained at what he is about to reveal.

"We know she was sold at 17 by her dad. That she got in the wrong hands."
And so Loki tells about the last bit of her torture before she was taken into protective custody.

"No wonder her gifts starts to fight around. All this is a protective measure to keep her and the people she loves safe." Natasha mentions.

"So me being here is a problem for her?"
Everyone turns around not having heard Zemo coming down, not even the elevator opening.
"Yes." Tony grits out, annoyed of not having heard him get down too.

"Maybe it is good for her? To get her gift settled down with what she presumes is a threat to her family." Zemo sounds smug as he talks.

"Her gift is instinctual. She knew something was wrong in a mission before we realised it. So I think it will not settle down too easily." Loki's voice is softly laced with some danger.

"Steve requests to come talk downstairs, but doesn't want to leave a sleeping Y/n alone. He needs Bucky with this conversation."
"I'll go up." Natasha says and she moves off the couch.

"Nat..." "yeah, I'll let you know when something chances."
I look grateful at the ex-Russian spy.

Keeping a watchful eye on Zemo, as I do not trust him one bit, we all wait for Steve to arrive.
He moves to the kitchen, probably making himself a tea or something.

When Steve walks out of the elevator he looks determined.
"Seat yourself, Zemo." He orders, the captain side of Steve coming out to play. It's rare in a non-battle situation but hot altogether.
A muscle near Zemo's eye twitches at being ordered around, but he does as asked.

"Y/n's gift is based on levels of safety. Unknown people with unknown intentions set her on edge, unknown people with ill intentions make her loose her cool an gift taking over. Zemo is a 50/50, as she hasn't lost control yet, but she is more on edge then usual. I think she knows we don't trust him, knows Zemo doesn't have ill intentions, but doesn't have good ones either. It puts her on edge this much. She can lash out one moment and just be very tense the next. I know when Zemo passed our room, as Y/n's sleeping form went total tense, but she didn't lash out."

What Steve's saying makes sense.
"If we want to make it more bareable for Y/n, we either need to get Zemo out fast, but as we all know the Raft is still being fixed, so that is not an option."

"So you're saying I need to gain her trust?"
"No, gaining her trust will not change anything if you still have intentions that are putting us in any way at a disadvantage to you."
"I am not going to forgive you for killing my family when you destroyed my country."

That turns everyone silent. I wasn't there when it happened, but feeling the sadness and pain radiating from everyone seems like the right indication on how things went.
"I'm sorry we couldn't safe Sokovia and your family." Tony's genuine voice makes you wonder what really was the reason the tragedy happened.

Zemo Huff's, shoulders tense.
"Ms. Romanoff requests to stop whatever it is that is happening as Y/n's awake and not 100% herself."

Steve and I are up in seconds, moving to the elevator to go to both of your loved ones.
"We'll figure out how to help her deal with everything, by making it feel more safe for her." Tony voice travels through the haze of getting to Y/n.

I grab Steve's hand in the elevator and hold him close to me, a little on edge by being in close proximity to Zemo and knowing he is a cause of Y/n's tension.

When the elevator opens up, I hear Natasha cursing so Steve and I run to our door and hold her close to us.
She fights a little before slumping against Steve.
"What happened?" She asks.
"Difficult topic with Zemo. Nothing happened." I press a kiss on the back of her head.
"I'll get downstairs again. See if I can get caught up and maybe come up with a plan." Natasha leaves the room, leaving the three of us alone in the room.
"We'll be okay." Steve whispers.

A/n: I can't promise weekly updates anymore. I started a new job at the start of July, currently I'm on holiday in Athens, Greece. I'll do my utmost best to write as much as I can. So sorry if the updates have more time in between. I have no back up chapters so everything needs to be written on the spot. I read all your lovely comments and I appreciate them a lot! So sorry that I don't respond to all of them.

Big love to you all, you are seriously the best 😘❤️
