Dawn | Bucky Barnes ✔️

7. Explosion

W I D O W S E V E N T E E N

My legs slightly tremble as I make my way back towards the others, I furrow my brows when I see that they are not here anymore. I huff dramatic-ally of always being left behind. I close my eyes as I calm myself to teleport to the place with the most electrical charge flowing through which I am hoping Wanda is using her powers right now.

My body shifts, like my whole body justifying into liquid form as I feel myself move in thin air - literally before being teleported into the middle of a busy street. My eyes hooded from the waste of energy and feeling numbness still from Bucky's talk but I feel a bit better.

It didn't register until I felt multiple pair of eyes on me that a crowd has formed. I narrow my brows towards them, baring my teeth. They looking at me as if they never saw a black personality before. Okay I'm a bit sensitive right now that I forgot I just poof into thin air like fucking invisible hood - okay wrong universe.

I glance towards Wanda who is looking like she's about to cry as she stares up at something. I tilt my head, my eyes flying up to the building in front of me which causes my own eyes to widen in surprise.

"Your gone for ten minutes and they blow up a building without you" I pouted, scrunching my brows together as I take in the stench and the dust invading my lungs.

"Not the time, Seventeen" Steve says seriously in a tone that I've never heard before. I drop my pout instantly as I look over at him narrowing my brows. He looks towards me, his face pale as a ghost. "There were people in there"

That's when it finally hit me, the background noise coming back to me as I hear screaming all around me, people crying and people running away from the disruption. My combat shoes crush the ash from underneath me, my eyes darting everywhere to see the chaos surround me like a cloak.

My hands shake suddenly when I register the screams within the building, I could feel them trapped under the cement with no way out. That even is can't even help them but that doesn't stop me from moving forward to try help but a hand grasp me around the bicep hauling me back into someone's chest.

I look over my shoulder to see Pietro holding me in place, his eyes not on me but at the building with an unknown look casted in his eyes as if he has seen this tragic accident happen before - which he has when he was younger.

I don't bother fighting with Pietro, he knows I know that I can't do anything. I sigh in defeat as I watch the building fall, the cries for help deafening with each passing moment before I can't hear anything. The screams, cries, shouting it just all stops.

I don't know what happened but it couldn't be on purpose. The look on Wanda's face, the looks people cast at her with utter disgust and fear, it only connects the dots in my head quick.

"Fuck" I muttered under my breath as I lean into Pietro with a small sigh. I remove myself from Pietro after some time as Steve gets some people out here to look at the damages.

I make my way over towards Wanda in small steps to not alarm her, I step in front of her to block her from the building view but it doesn't help much from my view but it was enough. I place a gentle hand upon her shaking one down by her left side. I caress her thumb softly back and forth, her eyes shifting down to mine before I'm suddenly pulled into a hug.

Cracks of sobs break out of her, her whole body leaning on me but I don't care. A friend needs me, and I'll be there for her. I wrap my arms around her, she bent down to my height. She may be uncomfortable but she doesn't say that she is, just continues to tremble in my arms.

I don't say anything, there's nothing I could say to make her feel better but me being here for her will hopefully show her what my actions mean into words. I run my hands through her hair, her face crooked into her neck with small sobs escaping her every once and awhile. I hastily switch my body around to make me face the building instead, in case she glances towards it when she pulls away from me.
