Fall For You

Whatever it Takes

Her head was still killing her. The blood had dried, but she was starting to lose consciousness. "Sh-Sharon..." Of course it was the blonde. Who else would it be? "I can't believe he chose you."

Was that what this was about? "No matter. Once we have the Presidency, he can be easily taken care of." She leaned back in her chair and just looked at her nails. So nonchalant. "Presidency?" This woman was delusional. "I do-I don't-"

"Of course not. And why would you?" Pierce stepped up to the woman and smirked. "Doesn't mean we can't use you as leverage." Sharon just glared. "You see, we had a plan in place long before you. And then, you got in the way. Like always. I spent a lot of money to make this work. And it will work."

Dublin was so confused, and it wasn't just for the drugs in her system or the multiple hits she had taken. "What will work?"

"Pierce will be President. And me the Vice President. All those names on the drive? Taken out." Taken out? "Are you insane?"

"She's brilliant." Pierce pulled up a seat and sat down. "Project Insight is a genius plan. All those people-"

"President Ellis-"

"Just a casualty." Pierce stood up. "Your Bucky used to know that."

"Who was he?" Bucky hated following his orders but his mind and body were too far gone. "You met him on another mission." Pierce had the key. "You're a gift to all mankind. You will change the world one day." Bucky stared blankly at the man. "One day soon, you will be the fist we need."

"I already am." Pierce made a face and roughly slapped the man. "Rumlow!" Rumlow stepped up and placed the rubber piece into Bucky's mouth. "Wipe him. We need to start again." Pierce made a face and started walking away, the screams of agony in his ears.

"He doesn't seem so compliant." Sharon placed her phone in her pocket and stared at Pierce. "I thought he was the best." Pierce just smiled. "He is. Everything is still going to plan."

"Bucky used to be the best of us. So compliant. And then..." Sharon couldn't help herself as she slapped Dubs across the face. "Then you happened."

"Buck...I met him..." Dubs was having such a hard time staying awake. "Oh yes, the bar. But that wasn't the first time. Was it?"

Dubs had finally made the choice to stay. "Connor. Murph! Open a new bottle. We are celebrating!" She cheered as she walked up to the bar with her Aunt and little bother.

"Are you, I mean... you really wanna stay, Dubs? I mean, I kinda need my big sister." Dublin chuckled and wrapped her arm around Peter. "And you'll always have me. But I need to be here."

"And you have to stay here." May always knew how to make anyone smile. She wrapped her niece in a hug and took a deep breath. "But I don't wanna let you go..."

"We'll take good care of her." Connor and Murphy both smiled, but Dubs gave a look to Connor. Pulling out of May's grasp, she pointed her finger. "They're only visiting! Quit staring at my Aunt. I'm staying but they're leaving in two weeks." But Connor was undeterred. "We'll follow you anywhere, Dubs." That was directed at May. She laughed and started walking away. "Open that bottle. I'll be right back."

Heading towards the back of the pub, Dubs smirked. They would be a cute couple, especially after everything that had happened with Ben. Her aunt needed someone.

"Oh! So, sorry." She had hit what felt like a brick wall. And looking up, that brick wall had the most stormy ocean blue eyes. "I should watch where I'm going." He just gave a huff and stared at her. "Sorry, again."
