Domestic Avengers

Coughity cough

They didn't even make it to the next morning.

Sam had slept next to a drowsy Bucky, trying to give him the cough medicine and water when he needed it.

Sam finally drifted to sleep around two am. Bucky had drifted asleep by one and seemed peaceful as he could be with his kinda sort of cold.

Next thing he knew the Falcon woke up sweating, gods had he fallen off the bed and landed next to the furnace?

But instead, he found he was next to a whimpering and writhing Bucky.

No no no not the time for nightmares. Sam thought as he watched the super soldier thrash. Muffled screams fought to escape Bucky's mouth.

"J. A. R. V. I. S. is Bruce awake?"

"Already stepping out of the elevator Mr.Wilson."

Sam muttered a thank you and got out of the bed. He tried to call Bucky's name but even if he wouldn't admit it he was afraid to touch the soldier. He didn't want to startle the man when he woke up.

Bucky shot up his eyes watery and pain filled. His chest was heaving to get air while his ill lungs tried their best to help. Great, so he would hyperventilate quicker than usual.

Oh gods.

Sam hadn't even taken into thought.

This wasn't a usual hard to calm down after a nightmare Bucky. This was a fever nightmare hard to calm down Bucky.

Bucky was looking around frantically but specifically the chair in the corner of their small room. Sam knew there was nothing actually there, but also knew Bucky was probably hallucinating worse than usual.

Bruce slowly opened the door and Bucky violently flinched, seeing the white lab coat made the soldier scream in pain. He held his head and fell off the bed, crawling himself into the corner.

"Bruce take the coat off come in slowly." Sam whisper yelled and Bruce threw off the coat, both approached Bucky carefully.

The soldier was shaking, his whole body shivering from his raging fever and his rampaging fear. Barnes's eyes shot from Sam to Bruce and back and forth.

"Not again not again not again. Outoutoutoutout." Bucky's voice shook uncontrollably.

"Jamie it's me," Sam knew to use the nickname, hopefully the soldier would associate his legal name nickname with better times. "It's Sam. And Bruce is here too. It's ok we're just gonna help with the fever and all ok?"

The soldier didn't look at them, or at least didn't even try. "Cold cold cold cold. Need cold. Only thing that'll help."

Bruce sighed and gave Sam a sad grimace. "J. A. R. V. I. S. is anyone else awake?"

"Yes Dr.Banner. Ms.Romanoff and Ms.Maximoff are currently in the kitchen. Loki is also awake, and Thor is waiting for you to say he can come in to help. Mr.Barton is outside Mr.Parker's room in case Peter tries to come find Mr.Barnes." The polite British voice chimed kindly.

"Ask Nat to come in silently please." Within seconds the red head was beside Bruce,
Nearly making Sam jump but he was used to it.

"Tell Wanda to open the walk in freeze. Tell Thor to be ready to act menacing. Sam, here's the plan, we're gonna put Bucky in the freezer the cold will comfort him and calm him down. We just need him more sedated if we're gonna help him with this whole thing. Thor is gonna act like a you-know-what guard. I need you, Nat, to act like his handler. You have experience. Make him think we're putting him in cryo. Sam, you'll be there and I'll be behind you so when he calms down in the cold he'll be sluggish and I can use the super soldier sedation. Ok?"

Sam nodded, his brain should've been heavy with sleep. Fuckin four AM. But he didn't have time for that. He would be here for Bucky.

Nat nodded and gently padded towards the soldier. She cleared her throat and Bucky's eyes snapped to attention. Even if the fear in his eyes was obvious, he couldn't from his overheating oven of a brain. (Bold is Russian)

"Soldat on your feet. You require maintenance?" Nat voice was stern.

"Confirm. Some form of specialized disease. Can not function for mission. Cryo stasis suggested." Bucky's voice was tentative, an odd emotion to hear in his winter soldier voice.

Nat snapped at him, and Sam could obviously tell she was playing her part of handler perfectly. "Did I ask for suggestions? Move. Handler will escort you to cryo." Nat gestured to Sam with a wave and pulled an unstable Bucky up by the metal arm. Bucky let himself be dragged like he was used to this, Sam grabbed the man's other sickly sweaty arm.

Bruce was behind them, he opened the door and Thor was standing there with a feigned glare. Wanda was no where to be seen, and neither was Loki.

Sam turned his head briefly, seeing a distressed Peter being held by a somber Clint.

They were almost to the freezer just a little further-

The elevator dinged.

Star-Spangled Son of a-

Steve walked through the elevator laughing, Tony grabbed something but stayed behind Steve. Then Steve saw what was going on.

"Mission." Bucky growled, somehow he found the strength and lunges towards Steve.

Sam couldn't react-

Couldn't even breathe-

When suddenly there was a small fsh sound, two white patches of webbing stuck themselves to the rabid fevered soldier. One sticking his metal arm to the wall and another on his mouth.

Panic overided any of the Winter Soldier's programming, his flesh hand clawed at the webbing uselessly, scratching his face all to hell he dug his nails into his face.

Sam rushed towards Bucky, tears streaming from those steel blue eyes.

Bruce quickly ran over along with a profusely apologizing Peter. Peter quickly helped get the webbing off but now Bucky was a whirling and clawing animal. Until a scarlet strip of magic curled around body and quickly dragged him into the freezer.

Wanda stood, her arms outstretched from the other side of the counter. She was breathing heavily, everybody in the room watching her in shock.

Sam went to the freezer door, opening it to find a nearly passed out and way too hot Bucky. And not just his glorious body, his fever had spiked even more.

"BRUCE I NEED SOME HELP IN HERE!!"

The doctor rushed in, injecting a syringe into Bucky's forearm. Before anyone else could question or help anything, Thor grabbed Bucky with Bruce and Sam following to the medbay.
