Mind Control - OC X BUCKY BARNES

Chapter 8

2011

Diana had gotten a house in Brooklyn, she helped Peggy and Howard create Shield and became a family. She filled part of the hole in her heart when Howard had a son named Anthony....he became Diana's godson and loved watching him grow up. She even took him in after his parents passed. But he distanced himself when he turned 21...and then he became Iron Man.

Nick Fury, a good friend and the director of Shield kept contact with Diana in case of an emergency....just like today.

Diana was reading a book about ancient times when her house phone rang, she answers without looking away from her book. "Hello?"

"Diana...I need you immediately. Times Square." Nick says urgently.

"What's going on?"

"Just get here!" He quickly hangs up.

Diana transforms her clothes into her armor and runs outside, flying up above the city, prepared for a fight.

But instead sees a familiar face.... "Steve?" She asks as she slowly lands on the ground.

"Diana...what...what's going on?" She knew he was scared, Steve quickly rushes into her arms and buries his face in her neck.

"It's me....I'm here..." she sighs in relief. "I never stopped looking for you....I knew you were alive."

"How is this possible...I'm so confused." He pulls back.

"Captain....why don't you come with us...I can explain." Nick steps forward.

Steve quickly grabs Diana's hand, "Steve he's on our side...this is Shield. They help protect earth like we did.
Peggy....Howard....me. We founded it." Diana nods. "You can trust Nick..." Steve slowly nods and squeezes Diana's hand as they approach the black SUV's.

Steve couldn't believe what he was hearing, he was in shock. He stayed silent the entire ride to Diana's house, keeping his head down as she leads him inside and transforms into her regular clothes.

"I have a guest room...you can decorate it." She nods.

"Where's your family?" He steps over to the framed photos on the wall to see they were all of him, Bucky, Peggy, and Howard's family.

"He's right here." She walks over and hugs him.

"You've never married?" He asks softly.

"I told Bucky he was the only one for my heart...I meant that."

"But isn't it-"

"I'm fine Steve. I've made myself busy, besides I have my best friend back. My life just got better." She grabs his hand and takes him on a tour of her house, stopping at his own room. "You can change it all you want, and we'll go shopping to get you clothes and all that." She opens the curtains. "Steve it's gonna be hard for awhile...but I'll be here to help you the entire time." She turns, seeing him messing with his hands.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." He nods.

Diana only smiles, turning to the door. "Did you want to go get some clothes now?"

"Sure."

Diana takes him to the garage, pulling off a black cover to reveal a motorcycle. "I used the parts form your old one and made a new one..." She admires it. "I knew one day you'd come back and you'd teach me how to drive it."

"Diana...." He shakes his head.

"Your gonna take it." She hands him the keys.

"You still don't know how to drive?" Steve laughs and gets on, looking back as she sits behind him.

"Why would I need to? I can fly."
