Saving Bucky

Home

Bucky's POV:

As we exit the room, Steve and Olivia stand, her face covered in concern.

Steve: "promise...I kept my eyes on her" Steve says jokingly putting his hands out in front of him.

Bucky: "only thing you kept on her, right?" I joke back, giving them a smile.

Tony: "so..you wanna tell them Barnes? Or want me to?"

Bucky: "I just really wanna take my girl home" I grin at her.

Tony: "ok then, 1 week remember? Back here in 1 week"

Bucky: "yes sir" I respond, giving him a smile.

Tony: "Crazy idea, that I'm sure I'll regret. Let Steve fly you guys back home on the quinjet. You can tell them on the way"

Steve: "I'm down. Cmon Buck, I'll even let you pilot" Steve says, raising his eyebrows.

Bucky: "absolutely!"

Olivia: "wait.." she says, grabbing my arm, "you know how to fly a plane?" The look on her face says it all, but Steve can't help but play wingman.

Steve: "All different kinds...he's a VERY good pilot" giving her a grin and winking at me. I can't help but laugh at him.

Olivia: "hmmm....good to know" she says lowly, as she grips my hand and smiles.

Tony: "oh god...no sex on my quinjet please..."

Bucky: "Tony, please...we are civilized people...." I reply, "this is just foreplay" i finish, giving him a wink.

On the way back,we talk about the conversation between Tony and I.

Steve: "so...what did you two talk about? What's the damage?"

Bucky: "he um....he offered me a deal, actually"

Olivia: "deal? What kind of deal?"

Bucky: "A pardon..." I reply, unable to hold back my smile.

Olivia: "James!" She says, grabbing my arm, "that's amazing!!" Placing a kiss on my cheek.

Steve: "You deserve it, Buck. Congrats"

Bucky: "He said 2 idiots convinced him"

I can't help but look at the two of them, glancing at each other before they both start to laugh.

Bucky: "it does come with...conditions..."

Steve's laughter dies down, and he looks at me, confused. "Wait, conditions? What conditions?"

Bucky: "he wants to make sure I'm deprogrammed from HYDRA."

Steve: "well, that's a good thing right?"

Bucky: "Yea. It is. And then once that's done...he offered me a job"

Olivia: "what kind of Job?"

Steve: "He asked you to join the Avengers, right?" Steve asks

Bucky: "yea" I laugh.

Olivia: "wait...so back to the deprogramming...what does that entail, exactly?"

Bucky: "Steve, can you take over?"

Steve nods, and takes the controls. I move to a seat closer to Liv. "It means...I...I'm gonna have to go away for a little while...."

Olivia: "But...then you'll be free? You can't be controlled anymore?"

I grab her hands, and look into her eyes. "If it works, yes. But...I don't know how long it will take. I could be in Wakanda...for awhile..."
