No Time to Die - Bucky Barnes

Chapter 12

You couldn't have been happier than you are now. You were able to save more kids and find homes for some as well. Most were orphaned, and those whose relatives were alive were contacted immediately. Throughout the past few weeks you have been called to a few missions where more kids ended up being saved.

But with every good, bad follows. Sin has been taunting you, teasing you. Trying to get you to break for whatever reason. Bucky was there after each mission with a cup of baileys with a little bit of coffee and a blanket ready for another night under the stars. He was able to ease your mind as he was able before. As if no time has passed between the two of you.

While the others were around the compound or with the kids. In the lab Tony continued to look at all the results of each child, finding out who has parents and who is going to be adopted. He was also working on a new extension to the compound for more kids and even got some teachers so they don't fall behind in their education. You were beside him, fixing up Cap's shield wanting to make some modifications but he says that he likes it the way it is. So all you could do was polish it and fix the magnetic straps.

"Friday, can you call Barnes." Tony calls out into the air. It was always funny to you how he looked as if he was just speaking to himself as if he was crazy. What was even better was how a voice would answer. "What are you laughing at smarty?"

"It's just that Jarvis said he has no desire to spend the rest of time as a disembodied voice. And yet he was turned into one." Tony explained to you how FRIDAY was the first JARVIS. No relation to Edwin Jarvis but still a funny coincidence.

"Stark, you called?" Bucky comes into the lab hand in hand with Romanoff. You almost forgot about their romantic relationship. Almost being the key word. The time you have spent with Bucky was similar to the time you spent while enslaved to Hydra. The difference being your freedom, in more ways than one. You are free from their hold but not free to be together. How things work out. You constantly have to refrain from touching him for too long or looking and mapping the features that made you fall in love with him in the first place.

"Yeah, uh I didn't think you'd be here too, Red." Tony was stumbling over his words. Something he rarely does. It only made you wonder why he called Bucky over in the first place. "Well I was with James when FRIDAY called him and it didn't sound like something he was needed alone for." Natasha was standing her ground. Especially around your presence.

"I guess you could stay. It's not personal. Well kinda is but. You know what I'm just going to say it." Tony was a blubbering mess. Something you don't see too often. So whatever it was must have been important. "You know the little girl with the white hair and I tapped powers?"

"Ana" You remind him for Tony to use her name. "Yes Ana. Well she is yours and Y/N's daughter." You were in shock. You had another kid. But that's not possible. "How is that possible?" You didn't even hear your voice as it spoke the words. Too much in shock. You had a daughter, one you didn't even know existed. What else has Hydra taken from you?

"FRIDAY did some digging and it turns out six years ago they impregnated a handful of women with your eggs and Bucky's sperm. Only one managed to survive until childbirth but shortly died after Ana was born." Tony showed the reports. There were videos but you didn't think you could stomach watching them. The timeline however was what your eye was stuck on. It matches with, "They lost two of the greatest weapons and wanted to make more." Bucky hardly finishes your thoughts. The program didn't start until after you and Bucky escaped Hydra.

You ignored the evil thoughts of what you'd do to Hydra the next chance you got. Rather you focused on the fact that you had a daughter. A little girl to call your own. With powers that you could help her master. Your mind starts imagining the joy she would bring in your life but also they way you'll do anything for her. To let her know she is loved and valued. That for one second she doesn't have to question whether or not she is alone in the world.
