Riley's Girl

Mistrust

You're finally put on solid ground, miles away from Karli, the flagsmashers and Walker, when you turn to see who's responsible for your relocation.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now?" You berate.

"You're done. You are not going anywhere near him." Sam states protectively. 

"And who's going to stop me?" you say with a head tilt and attitude "you?" you point. Turning to look over your shoulder "terminator over here?" gesturing to Bucky behind you.

He looks up less than amused.

You sigh, composing yourself, still fustrated. "I'm sorry Bucky." you say genuinely as you glance at him over your shoulder.

"But Sam." you turn your attention back to your idiotic bestfriend "you can get fucked if you think you're stopping me. I'm so close." you say desperately. 

"To what?" Sam now matches your frustration "You can still get Karli, you just leave Walker to us." he demands.

"No Sam, I won't I started this. I'm finishing it. I need to be sure that it's done." you get more desperate. 

"That what's done? What's so important you'd risk getting yourself killed?" Sam asks defensively. 

"Destroying Walker and getting that shield!" you let out, unexpectedly but you were running out of time and getting desperate.

You see the looks they give eachother, the judgemental, skeptical, "heard this before" looks. "Oh don't give me that look Wilson." 

"Why do you want it?" Bucky asks, with a little too much skepticism than you were ever expecting. 

You huff out "we haven't got time for this. We need to stop Walker." you go to walk away and head back to find Walker.

Sam suddenly grabs your upper arm, pulling you back to him, inches away from your face he grits through his teeth "Y/N you're not going anywhere till you give us an answer." you recognised that tone anywhere, you knew Sam his interrogations techniques never changed over the years.

"Wow." your voice cracks amongst the disbelief. "That easy is it?" you shake your arm out of his grip, taking a step back, you felt your waterline fill up. This was cutting you deep. "For you to distrust the only person that truly knows you?" you counter back.

He nods, shaking it off. 

"You son of a bitch." you shake your own head, you take a step forward "I wanted that shield for you." you jab him in the shoulder. "You might not think you can do it, but I do, Sarah does, Steve does. Hell even Bucky does." you dramatically turn and point at Bucky. 

Bucky raises his eyebrows, his hand deep in his pockets but he shrugs in agreement. 

"He doesn't deserve that shield." you say softer. "He wants the fame, the fortune, the stature." you explain slowly. "he doesn't respect it, he doesn't understand it. That's why he took that serum. He thinks that'll make Steve Rogers but..." you can't even look at him, as you look into the distance shaking your head and blinking your eyes free of the watery blur.

"You were the one Steve knew to be fitting for the next Captain." you step closer and place a gentle hand on his cheek, smiling "And I'll do whatever it takes to make you believe it. Even if it means I'll..." you stroke your thumb across his cheek.

"Die trying." Bucky finishes your sentence, you look over and see the nostalgia in his eyes. You both smile softly at eachother. 

Simultaneously your phones beep and vibrate with a breaking news story that makes you smile from ear to ear "Seems he's saved me a job." you can't help but chuckle. 

"Not now Y/N, we need to go." Sam says sternly. 

You hang onto Sam as he flies off above a fast paced Bucky on the ground. 

The new three musketeers. Your mind runs away with you.
