Celeste's POV

"Tell me what?" Bucky asked darkly and I let out a nervous chuckle. I look at Steve for help but he shakes his head whilst leaving making me call him all the bad names in multiple different languages. Bucky walks over to me with anger in his blue eyes.

"Just remember that I love you and that you also love me." I said to him though it doesn't ease any of his anger.

"What won't I like doll?" Bucky almost growled out and I sighed mentally preparing myself for telling him his conditions of his release.

"You won't like the conditions to your release though it is better then being in jail or locked up." I said to him and he looked at me now with slight worry in his eyes.

"What are the conditions?" He asked me and I can tell he is worried I did something stupid to get him out of being locked up.

"Mandatory therapy sessions, re-evaluation though I will be there for it and also house arrest for possibly a few months or until your therapist says you can be let out with supervision though I will have to meet up with the Governor again about it. And every time your out of the house until deemed fine you have to be with at least one person and again when your therapist says you can possibly go out without someone with you. This goes on until your therapist says you are fine on missions but even that will start small and work your way up again." I said with my head bowed down not looking at him, as I don't want to see the anger in his eyes. Because I am not looking up at him I can't see what his reaction is and in turn I don't see how his eyes go from worried to anger. I do however hear him breathing quite hard and trying to also rein in his breathing. This at least calms me down a little bit as I was expecting him to just storm off before he says something he doesn't mean.

"Therapy and house arrest?" Bucky mumbled to himself as if he is trying to comprehend doing that. I give a small nod of my head though I know he wasn't asking me for clarification.

"Yeah it was the only way I could get you excused from everything whilst not being locked up or in prison. I know you won't like it and you will fight with me on this but it could be a lot worse. If you need me to be in your therapy sessions I will be in there with you. You know I will always try and help you and be there for you if you let me." I said my voice now going soft.

"I didn't ask you to do this. I didn't want this. Being locked up would have been better then house arrest or therapy. Why did you do this? This isn't what I wanted. It would have been better if I did stay hidden and you not find me." Bucky said hurting me right in the heart even though I know he is only saying it because he is currently angry at me and also because he isn't thinking straight. Bucky then starts to storm out and I go to follow him but get stopped by his glare before he walks off again.

I sigh and let him go for now though I will go to him again in a few minutes as me, myself needs to also think with a clear head before I go to him. I also need to calm down a bit and recollect myself because I am hurt from what he did say. I take a few calming breaths and then leave the training room and head to my jet for a little bit. When I arrive in my jet I just stare out into space for what seems like hours but it really was just a few minutes. I am brought out of my thoughts when Diablo nudged my leg making me jump a little bit from surprise. I look down at him and see that Diablos eyes are red meaning I am probably about to get a call from him. I also can tell I am about to get a talking to from the panther. I just sigh and prepare myself for talking with Diablo.

"You know you should go after him, he is just upset right now and not thinking clearly right now." Diablo said and I just nod my head before he growls at me for not actually talking to him with words making me sigh.
