Butterfly (Bucky x Reader)

Aftercare

"What is that?" Sam asked in surprise when Bucky carried your bloodied wolf form into the back of the jet.
"That is Y/N" Steve said from behind Bucky.

"That's a surprise" Nat consented after a moment's hesitation. She quickly grabbed one of the blankets and put it over you as Bucky sat down. "Makes more sense why Fury was using her for missions" she continued.
"Fascinating" Bruce said in awe.
"Wait, is it contagious? You are covered in her blood" Sam said to Bucky worriedly.
"No, she doesn't have the venom. She survived Hydra experiments when she was younger" Steve shook his head.
"Bird brain, she can hear you" Bucky growled at him.
"Poor thing, she shouldn't be in the field" Clint scoffed and you whimpered.
"Why isn't the princessa going back to being human?" Pietro asked.
"She doesn't have any clothes" Tony said as though the answer was obvious.
"I don't see the problem in that" he wiggled his eyebrows in response. You nuzzled more into Bucky and took in his scent. The pain was nearly unbearable, and you could feel the blood matting your fur.
"Besides, she heals faster in her wolf form" Steve offered, and sat down beside Bucky.
"She's even pretty in her wolf form," Scott mused.
"So is she a shapeshifter, or a werewolf?" Rhody asked.
"Werewolf" Tony said as he went to take the copilot seat. Clint closed up the back hatch, and started to take off. You got jostled slightly and let out a soft howl and whine at the same time.
"You poor girl" Nat cooed to you. "You shouldn't have been in the field" she looked upset.
"I have an injection I can give her once we are in the air" Bruce suggested. "It will help take the edge off the pain."
"I hate seeing her like this," Bucky said, sounding honestly worried. You whimpered and squirmed on his lap. Once the jet leveled out Bruce unstrapped from his spot and went to the first aid kit. You squirmed out of Bucky's hold and limped your way to Bruce who turned around and looked a bit surprised. You gave a soft bark and he nodded as though understanding you wanted the help.
"It's easier if I put it in your back flank," he explained. You took one paw to cover your muzzle in response and turned around. He got down on one knee and gave you the injection and you tried your best not to whimper. You immediately started to feel tired, and instead of going back to Bucky you laid down in the middle of the floor. Clint put the jet on autopilot and came over and picked you up.
"Alright princess, you need to be secured to someone" Clint brought you back to Bucky. You whimpered at the movement and he chuckled as Bucky held out his hands expectantly with a worried look on his face. "Here she is" he handed you to Bucky who wrapped both arms around you and you nuzzled into him again.
"Let's get this bird home, a few of you need the regeneration machine" Tony said, taking over the controls.
"Y/N first, she needs it" Clint said softly going back to help pilot the jet.

Getting back to the compound, you were half asleep from the injection that Bruce gave you. Bucky carried you inside while the rest of the team wearily made their way inside. Doctor Cho instructed him to put you on the examination table and Bucky did so, but then stood back. She shooed him out and he went as far as the door and stood sentient outside the door waiting. You tiredly changed your form back to human, although this time it was painful to do the process. Your long hair was matted instead with blood and you were covered in deep bruises and cuts.
Doctor Cho took the time to clean the bullet burns and cuts you had gotten, and then she helped you into the regeneration machine. When you got out you still had some telltale bruises, but you were able to move a lot easier, and the cuts and burns were gone. All she had that would fit you were some hospital gowns, so she gave you two, one to cover the front and back. You were half tempted to take your wolf form again, but you were still in a bit of pain. You put them on and opened the door to see a few of the Avengers waiting. Bucky saw what you were waiting, and the dried blood and dirt that was on your skin and he automatically swept you off of your feet.
"No," you whimpered.
"Yes," he said softly. "We are going up to my room" he warned you.
"But the cats" you pouted.
"Can wait" he continued and carried you to the elevator. He pushed for his floor and rocked you gently. When you got to his floor he walked you out and went directly to his room. He set you down long enough to unlock the door and then he picked you up again. It felt silly, but he was being so sweet. He brought you to the bathroom and sat you down on the toilet before he started running a bath. He added some of the lavender bubble bath and then started taking off his tactical outfit, except for his pants. You watched him curiously, and then he came to you. He took off the hospital gowns so you were naked and he carried you to the tub and you giggled as he gently set you down in the water that was the perfect temperature.
"What is this?" you finally asked.
"You deserve to be treated like a princess, so I am" he shrugged. He grabbed the extended nozzle from the shower head and rinsed out your hair.
"I can do it" you started to say but he gave that glare that told you he had made up his mind already.
"Not today" he shook his head. He grabbed the shampoo and started washing your hair, being careful. He took his time to really lather up your scalp before he rinsed out the shampoo. You grabbed the washcloth and washed your body as best you could while his hands were busy. He frowned, but allowed it. He then put conditioner in your hair and you hummed as he made sure to get every lock of hair. He let it sit for a few minutes while you finished washing. The water was clearly dirty, but he took a moment to rinse out your hair a final time. You stood up and he sprayed you down again to make sure. His eyes traveled to the bruises and he frowned again.
"Is it that bad?" you asked, looking at the frown on his face.
"How did you get so badly bruised?" he finally asked.
"I got shot a few times with the vest on," you admitted. "I ruined the vest when I had to make a last minute decision to change forms. I stole clothes from a Hydra agent's corpse and went back in to get the prisoners. When I got discovered I phased back" you shrugged.
"You'll have to do a full report" he warned you.
"I know," you said in a small voice.
"Can I read it?" he asked.
"Yes" you nodded.
"Good, now come on out" he grabbed two towels. He wrapped you in one towel and then wrapped your hair in a second towel. "Just sit on the counter or the toilet" he said in a soft order. You nodded and sat down on the toilet and blushed as you watched him get fully undressed. He jumped in the shower and quickly washed and did his hair. He grabbed a towel off the door and came out and slung it around his hips. You saw he was riddled with bruises and scratches, but nothing that looked too serious thankfully. He came to you and picked you up again and you giggled at the overprotective action. He walked you into his bedroom and sat you down on the side of his bed. He went into his walk-in closet and came out wearing a pair of sweats only, carrying a pair of boxers and a large t-shirt. Without much prompting he dressed you, and then he sat behind you on the bed and he used his comb to brush out your hair.
"How does that feel?" he asked once he was done.
"Much better" you sighed happily.
"Are you hungry or thirsty?" he asked expectantly.
"Ravenous" you admitted. "And parched" you said.
"Alright, I'll put on a t-shirt and I'll take you downstairs. Tony always orders enough shawarma to feed an army, and there's leftovers afterwards, after each big mission" he nodded with a soft smile. He gave you a soft kiss on the lips and moved away.
"Do you have a spare toothbrush?" you asked him.
"In the bathroom, top drawer" he nodded. "If you wait, I'll help you" he offered as he went into his closet.
"I can do some things for myself" you giggled and got up off the bed. You were a little light headed still from Bruce's injection, and steadied yourself before you walked into his bathroom again. You closed the door and quickly went to the bathroom since you had been holding it. You then washed your hands, and proceeded to brush your teeth and tongue, trying to get the taste of blood out. You started to clean up the bathroom but stumbled slightly and the door opened quickly and Bucky grabbed you and picked you up again.
"Be careful doll, those pain medications can really take a lot out of you" he warned you.
"I was trying to tidy up" you frowned.
"I'll do it later" he shook his head. He set you on the counter and stood between your legs and cupped the side of your face. He pressed his lips to your own and licked your lips. You parted your lips and he quickly deepened the kiss, running his hands up and down your arms and sides, trying to be mindful of your bruises. "You had me so scared" he pulled back from the kiss.
"I was more worried about you," you admitted. "I was worried about the captives. I was worried about everyone else" you frowned.
"Wanda is bringing you stuff and the cats over" he said, giving you a soft kiss on the tip of your nose. "You'll have to get used to being around me for a few days for my own sanity" he chuckled at your flushed cheeks.
"I need my own clothes and work," you reminded him.
"We will see about that," he winked.
