Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter 32

Bucky

I was cooking dinner for the girls while yn was out with Tony and Steven, figuring out plans to fight thanos
I was making just simple spaghetti while the girls watched tv
The door bell rang just as I started pulling the garlic bread out of the oven
I walked over to the door and it was Steve, "hey, come in" I say
He walks with me back over to the kitchen, I make the girls plates
"Foods done!" I yell into the living room
They both walk up, grab their food and walk back to the living room
"Do you want some?" I ask Steve
"I'm good, thanks" he says and sits down on one of the stools to the island
"So what's up?" I ask
"Well it's about yn"
"What about her?"
"She's too strong"
"She's always been like that"
"No, buck, everyday she gets stronger, she gains a better grip on her sanity and power, she's stronger than 5 infinity stones"
"That means she can beat Thanos, that's what we want"
"We don't think she would"
"We?"
"Me, nat, Tony, Wanda, and a few of the others"
"She would, she knows what's right, she knows what she has to do"
"Buck, she's too dangerous"
"Then what do you suppose we do Steve?!" I start to get angry
"She needs to go"
"No the fuck she doesn't!"
The girls snap their heads to look at the two of us to figure out why I'm yelling
"Buck calm down and listen-"
"Steve she's my wife and I know you're asking me to help kill her, I would never do that!"
"Tony already agreed, and so did I"
"You want to kill her?"
"I don't want to but I'm doing what's right"
"You've always tried to get her killed, when you and nat shot her, when she was taken by hydra, when she was taken by the red room, when we got engaged, you've always wanted her dead"
"I- I swear Buck I- I haven't it's just-"
"You knew who she was, but you never tried to save her"
Steve stands there, speechless, "leave" I point to the door
"Let's talk about this-" he starts
"Don't make me say it twice Rogers"
He leaves and the girls walk over to me, then they just hug me
"We know mom is gonna die, we get the visions too" Sage mumbles into my chest
"You can see the future?" I ask and they both nod
"Your phone is about to ring" Sage said just before my phone rang
I picked it up, it was Tony, but the voice I heard was yn
"Bucky I think Tony is trying to kill me" she whispers
"Honey what's going on?" My voice is filled with worry
"Tony fucking shot me, I'm fine but my brother fucking shot me" she's still whispering
"Tony doesn't carry guns"
"Oh fuck"
"Who else is there"
"Nat"
"Where are you?"
"The tower, I turned the power off so it's dark and I can't see anyone"
I hang up and start driving immediately, our house is 20 minutes from the tower but I went about 90 the whole way so I got there in 15
I ran in and saw what yn was talking about, it was pitch black, the only lighting coming from the other buildings surrounding it
My phone flashlight was the only thing illuminating my path
I didn't know what floor yn was on, so I searched all of them
Luckily she wasn't too high up, but I found her laying down, pale and loosing a lot of blood
It was the middle of her stomach, "Buck" she sounds weak
"Hey, I'm here" I scoop her up and start to walk to the stairs
"Go through the window" she says and I trust her, she breaks the window and floats us down carefully
She passes out as soon as my feet touch the ground
I run to the car and lay her in the backseat, then sped to the hospital
I carry her limp body in my arms into the emergency room
They get a stretcher and take her away, another nurse comes to me and asks if I need medical attention due to me being covered in yn's blood
I tell them no but ask for yn
"Where is she?" I ask
"She's in surgery" a nurse responds
"Can I see her?" I ask
"Not at the moment but we will get you when you can"
"Is she gonna be okay?"
"We're not sure yet but we will let you know as soon as possible"
I'm shut into silence, my brain could only focus on yn's life and then I couldn't think
My brain malfunctioned, I had thought too hard that I could no longer
I stood there, paralyzed from fear, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I couldn't breathe
There was a lump in my throat, I wanted to ask more questions, but I couldn't get any sound out, I wanted to take a deep breath to calm down but I couldn't breathe
The nurse grabbed my arm and pulled me into a room where other doctors and nurses checked my pulse, tried to get me to talk or breathe, tried to get me to move, but I didn't
They got a breathing mask and forced air to slide down my throat and into my lungs
I could breathe, but I couldn't speak or move, the sound slowly turned into white noise
Everything went black, I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, I couldn't hear

When I awoke, I was in a hospital bed with a breathing mask and an IV
I could speak, I asked the nurse next to me about yn, "my wife, yn Barnes, where is she? Is she okay?"
I was still panicked and I was shaking, I need her to be alive
"Your wife is fine, she's actually almost recovered" the nurse smiles at me
A wave of relief flows through my body, "can I see her?" I take a few deep breaths
"She is actually already on her way down here" she checks her watch
I take the IV out and sit up, trying to regain feeling in my fingertips
Yn walks through the door and runs immediately to me and into a hug
"I'm so sorry Buck" she whispers into my ear with a soft sob
"Sorry for what?" I ask
"I didn't mean to worry you so bad" she rubs my back
"I'm just glad you're alive" I pull away from the hug and cup her cheeks
"I need to tell you something but I can't here" she looks in my eyes
Her eyes are a greenish brown yellow color, blending like the forest
I kiss her, happy to feel her touch, I was scared I was never gonna feel it again
We were discharged from the hospital and walked to the car, the backseat covered in her dry blood
"What did you need to tell me?" I ask and go to the drivers side
"You are not driving dude" she points me to the passenger side
"You almost died" I say
"Trust me, what I'm about to tell you will explain why I'm driving" she ushers me to the passenger side
She climbs in and so do I, she waits till we get on the road to tell me
"Bucky I'm immortal" she bites her rosy pink lips
"You can't die?" I doubt her after what she just went through
"I know you don't really believe me but if you waited about an hour I would've been good, it would be messy tho" she says
I sit there and just think about what to say but I don't muster anything
"Cut me, it'll heal in 10 seconds" she urges
"Are you being serious?" I ask
"Yes, cut me" she says
I grab my knife an glide it over her skin, making a small scratch and healing in 10 seconds, like she said
"Does it hurt?" I ask
"Yes"
