The Forgotten One - Winter Soldier X Reader

Chapter 7 - Finding family

Reader's POV

When the two of you arrived at the apartment building you were surprised that neither Hydra nor any other government officials were watching the apartment let alone Mr. Rogers. You took a deep breath as you looked over at Bucky and said, "Are you sure you wanna do this?"

His face was hard and he avoided looking at you as he said, "Yeah, It's time I figure things out." You nod and grabbing your bag climb out of the car. You wait patiently for him to follow little did you know more than just Captain America was waiting for you upstairs.

Steve's POV

Steve watched as Natasha showed him a video from the security cameras at the Smithsonian. "Steve, are you sure that's him?" Steve stared at the mysterious man as he clearly rescues a girl from some unseen danger.

"Yeah, that's Bucky."

Natasha sighs as she says, "Well that's both good and bad I guess."

Steve nods as he says, "As least I know he's alive."

"Now the only question is who's the girl and what does he want with her?"

Steve sighs as he runs a hand through his hair. "Perhaps she's an acquaintance of his fro Hydra?"

"We won't know till we find them," Natasha says as her phone rings.

As she leaves the room to answer it Steve rewinds the video back to the beginning, this time through he noticed a woman with long raven hair a few feet away from the girl that was a few feet ahead of Bucky. It seemed there was an argument before the raven haired woman pulled a gun on her in which Bucky sprung into action and rescued her. Rescuing people was just Bucky's nature, even if Hydra had messed with his mind and body, his natural instincts were still going to be the same. He was about to zoom in on the face of the mystery girl when he heard a knock on his door; Pausing the movie he stands and walks over to his door and upon opening it stares wide eyed at his best friend. "Bucky?" He says his voice barely above a whisper.

Reader's POV

You follow closely behind Bucky as the two of you make your way up the stairs to Steve's apartment. He was obviously both angry and nervous at the same time. You blamed yourself for him being angry, because it was probably and most likely your fault. Before you reached Steve's door you reach up and grab his hand stopping him dead in his tracks. "I'm sorry," You say as you stare at his now tensed back.

"For what?" He says his voice back to its cold demeanor.

"For anything I did to make you angry with me."

"I don't wanna talk about it, let's just meet with Steve then you can figure out your next move." He pulled his hand from yours making a hole open up inside you. He wanted you to leave him and go somewhere else. It was only fitting for the way you had reacted.

"Of course... I can't follow you around forever." You say as you pushed past him and continued your way to Steve's door. When you arrived you gladly moved out of the way so Bucky could knock on the door.

When he did it was only a few seconds before someone answered. "Bucky?" The man said his voice barely above a whisper as he stared at Bucky in shock.

"Hey Steve," the big man with short blonde hair and blue eyes immediately wrapped his arms around Bucky pulling him into a big hug. The two of them stood there for a moment before Steve pulled away and turned toward you.

"You must be the girl from the Smithsonian video," he says as he holds his hand out to you.

"I'm __________ Romanoff, and I believe you are the famous Captain Rogers?"

Steve stared at you for a moment before he said, "Romanoff?"

You nod as you raise an eyebrow and say, "Yeah, why?"

Before he had a chance to answer a woman with red hair walked around the corner and your eyes immediately widen as a hidden memory flashes through your eyes making you step forward and say with a shocked look on your face, "Natalia?"

Her eyes widen as she realize who you are, "_______? Is that really you?" Your heart jumps in your chest as you rush into her arms tears streaming down your face. Her arms wrap tightly around you as she says, "They told me you were dead."

You feel your tears fall faster as you say, "I can't believe this, I thought I was all alone." She gently starts to caress your hair back as she tries to soothe your crying soul.

All of the sudden you fall to the floor grabbing your head as a lifetime of memories invaded your mind. You instantly learned that in fact it was Strucker himself that murdered your family so he could get to you and your sister. You saw all the missions she had ever been on the fights with Bucky even the war with the aliens in New York. Your mind was beginning to get overwhelmed when all of the sudden you collapsed to the floor the world going black.
