Warning: angst, fluff?, snooping around, Bucky being annoyingly together with Steve?

•••

You haven't been in here for at least five years, maybe even longer. Your older sisters room was always off limits to you and Bucky anyway. That didn't change one bit after she was murdered.

She was always private about everything. Only telling a fraction of what she was up to, it's what ended up killing her. Or maybe you and Bucky would've both been killed if it wasn't for her keeping the secret.

You need to have physical prove though, your father will never believe your word for it, especially after the stunt you pulled last week by yelling at him and Pepper. And if Tony is anything, he is loyal to his wife.

You walk around the partly dark room, memories of you and your big sister resurfacing as you do. She would've never let anything happen to you, she could've prevented so much... perhaps another reason for Pepper to wipe her off the board.

Anger rushes up the surface when you think about the past 24 hours. The revelation of Pepper and her accomplishes, of Bucky's words and the truth about your mother and sisters death.

Perhaps even the most frustrated thing about the whole ordeal is that you cannot snark Bucky in public, you cannot bring this up in front of her or she will know.

You rummage through some of her drawers before realizing she wouldn't keep something this valuable in any of those visible drawers. No, she would choose a far more hidden place. So hidden that even in the event of her passing it them clearing out the room, they wouldn't be able to find it. 

But you can. You're sure of it.

'Come on Wands... where did you put your little folder.. I know you have one because you loved your folders...' you mutter, putting your hands on your hips.

You smile a little at that, she always treated everything like a police case, she never wanted to be part of this world, she wanted to do the opposite. Only when she realized she couldn't, she dropped it. Or she made it seem like she did.

After a while of searching, you want to give up, losing hope every second you try searching for something you don't even know for sure exists. You make your way tot he door when you hear an odd squeak coming from the floorboards.

You kneel down and knock on it, it sounds dull and solid. While the other boards around it sound hollow. 'Gotcha...' you mutter before standing up and slamming your heel down on it.  

You kneel back down to pull away the floorboard and find exactly what you were looking for the entire time. You take it out from between the slots, surprised by the weight and thickness of the thing.

'Did you hear that?' Peppers voice comes through the wall and you internally curse, she must've been walking the hallways.

'Honey that room had been locked for years, I'm sure it's just Y/n with some random hookup in the other room...'

The corner of your lip turns up in disgust. That's why you dated and wanted to marry Natasha, you dimly hate men. Exactly for that reason.

'Yes probably..' She agrees, the footsteps getting softer as they walk away again.  You blow out a breath of relief and slowly move over to the door.

You slowly and silently open it and peek through, it's all clear so you open and close the door behind you, the folder safely under your arm.

'Up to something?'

You suck in a breath as you look towards the corner of the hallway. You roll your eyes at San who is just standing there with a smirk on his face at your startle. 'Do not do that again...'

'What? Protect you? As in doing my job? You know, the one I'm getting paid for...'

'Yeah yeah whatever, let's go to my room... I hope you like reading...'

'Are you going to explain to me what you were doing last night and just now?'

You smirk at him, 'no..'

'I fucked up... like big time...' Bucky groans watching Steve brush his teeth in the bathroom. He can't help but get a little distracted by Steve's naked back. He always has been a shoulders kind of guy.

'What did you do?' Steve asks turning around to face Bucky.

'Well last night we went into Peppers office, we found out some disturbing things and she mentioned something I said... I didn't even mean the words because I was drunk off my ass... but Y/n doesn't want to hear it...'

'And those words are...' he gestures for Bucky to continue.

'That I saw this coming from a mile away, a woman like my sister is bound to get into trouble... it's kind of like karma really... but I didn't mean it-'

'Buck...' Steve sighs. 'Even drunk.. that's a fucked up thing to say...'

'I thought you didn't care about mobsters to begin with..' his own frustration gets the better of him now and Steve rolls his eyes.

'Don't do that...'

'Do what?'

'Take your own frustrations out on me..'

'I thought you liked that...' he comments at Steve but he just crosses his arms and gives Bucky a pointed look. 'You done?'

'Whatever, it's not like you'd understand-'

'Oh yeah sure, son of the king of LA... but yeah you know... I don't understand..' he counters, effectively shutting his boyfriend up.

'Your sister isn't as complicated as you make her out to be, a simple sorry could go a long way... she wants someone to be on her side for once... trust me I've been there...'

'She won't allow me to talk to her... at least not in private...'

'Can't help you with that one Buck... but what was the other thing you found out?'

'Oh yeah... Natasha and Stephen's mother are helping Pepper kill Y/n...'

'Oh so no biggie...' Steve shrugs as he pulls his dress shirt over his arms. 'So I'm guessing she didn't take that well?'

'Don't know, couldn't see anything other than my betrayal written on her face...' Bucky sighs.

'It will be okay... just give her a second to breathe and take this all in...'

'I don't know if you've noticed, but my sister doesn't take any second to breath.. not until she's had her revenge...'

'Still... don't try to provoke her...'

'Easier said then done...'

•••

'So she killed your mother and then killed your sister because she knew about Peppers motives?'

'Seems like it...what are you doing?' You ask as he takes his phone out of his pocket.

'In case she destroys this...' he explains as clicking sounds film te the room. 'I'll forward them to you, Steve and Bucky..' he tells you and he watches you visibly tense up at the mention of Bucky.

'Smart...why didn't I even think of that... fuck, I feel like my brain is so foggy right now...' You clutch your head before your hands slide over your face.

'What happened between you and Bucky?' Sam asks making your body freeze right up again. 

'Does it matter?' You ask looking up at him.

'If it makes you this upset, then yes..'

'Sam, it's not important right now... look, I have a plan, let's just work on that and then we can talk about the other thing later...'

'Fine...' he shrugs. 'So what's the plan?'
