BARBARA POV
It's been a whole day, and it's not hitting me.
Bucky's gone. He's gone, and I'm never going to see him ever again.
This was my biggest fear since he and Steve enlisted in the draft, to lose either Bucky or Steve. I have grown up with both men, and the thought of losing one of them was like losing a part of me.
Losing both was like losing me entirely.
I haven't spoken to Steve since he told me the news. But not seeing him was killing me.
I sat at my desk with my head down as tears poured out of my eyes. I don't remember how much time passed, nor did I bother to look.
Apart from me wanted to give up on being an Agent. I now thought it was useless for me. There's no point in anything at this moment. But I knew that if I did give up, Bucky would be looking down at me, wanting to smack some sense into me.
I just wished he was here. I hoped he was here calling me doll.
Gosh, I need him. I need Bucky.
"Barbara?" A voice spoke.
I didn't bother to move. However, I knew by the heel clicking that it was Peggy. It was empty. Everyone was somewhere that I didn't know where.
I felt Peggy's hand on my shoulders, which caused me to let out a painful cry. She immediately brought me to her shoulders, why rubbing her back.
"It's okay; let it out," Peggy spoke. I did exactly just that.
Peggy has been nothing but remarkable to me these past few years. I never had a female friend growing up. I guess you can say she was my first female friend ever. Her being here meant a lot.
I stayed buried in her shoulders for a bit longer before pulling my head up and wiping my tears. Thank god I barely wore makeup.
Peggy looked and sighed.
"Steve needs you right now." She said. "And you need him."
The thought of Steve crying and hurt made me sad. I needed to see him. I can't let him go through this alone.
"Can you take me to him?" I asked, voice breaking a bit.
