Electric Love || Bucky Barnes X OC

Chapter 39

It's been a week since Clint tried to assault me and Steve slapped me across the face and things in the compound have been tense. Today during training, Wanda accidentally flung me against a wall which led to Bucky throwing a tantrum about Wanda being allowed to do as she pleases and putting me in danger. Everyone just stared at him and me as he kept an arm wrapped around me while he screamed at Steve. "Hey Buck, I'm fine and you need to calm down." I whispered

He ignored me and continued with his string of insults toward Steve and by now everyone but Sam, Natasha, and the three of us were heading out. Natasha came up behind Steve and tried to get him to settle down since he was screaming right back while Sam stepped between the two. He's pretty brave for a human standing between two super soldiers in a rage, one cause he can't get laid and the other because he's getting laid. I gently shocked Bucky, just enough to make him look down at me. "Stop, please and just take me down to see Bruce."

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"Yes, I just think I need to see Bruce." I smiled through the burning pain I felt in my ribs

I was confident I'd fractured if not broken a few ribs and my back didn't feel exactly pleasant but I didn't want to set him off more by telling him I was actually injured. He told Steve their conversation wasn't over before leading me out of the room with Sam hot on our trail. I kept my arms tight around myself and flinched slightly away from Bucky's hand on my back. "What the hell was that Bucky?" Sam called

"Steve deserves a lot worse than that, he deserves me beating the shit out of him."

"Because Wanda made a mistake?"

"Because this is the second time in a week she's been hurt with him involved."

"Are you talking about the handprint Mia had on her face last week? Was that Steve who did it? I assumed it was from Clint or Tony or..." he stopped talking because we both knew what he was suggesting

"Were you about to say from me?" Bucky stopped dead in his tracks

"No."

"Buck, please don't." I begged

"No, because he was going to suggest that it was me who slapped you across the face when it was actually America's poster child. But of course, he didn't tell you that Mia rejected his advances so he hit her."

"You know what, I'm going to take myself to see Bruce while you deal with your shit." I huffed before storming off toward the elevator

As I turned the corner for the elevator I saw Wanda standing there with a hesitant look on her face. "Hey Wand, I'm not upset with you. I know you did not mean to throw me against that wall and I'm fine, I promise."

"Can I at least go with you to see Bruce? I feel so bad for hurting you and for starting the testosterone wars back there."

"Oh no they started that themselves but yes I'd love for you to come with me."

She took my hand as we got in the elevator and continued to hold it until we got to see Bruce who immediately wanted to do x-rays. He came back and confirmed my two broken ribs and what would likely be a nasty bruise on my back before wrapping my ribs and sending me on my way. I had barely taken one step into the hallway when Tony stepped out and glared at me. Wanda looked between us for a moment before scurrying away and leaving me with Tony who was gesturing for me to come into his lab. "What Tony?" I asked once I was inside

"Care to tell me what you were doing in Bruce's lab?"

"Training accident, nothing serious."

"Was it Bucky?"
