Not a big deal! - Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes (Marvel)

This is for  lizziesmith57890! Thanks for being such a kind supporter. <3

"We're taking on fire over here. Take cover!" Sam called over his comms system.

Bucky's heart was pounding. This mission had been their toughest in a while. The whole team (minus Thor) was in the field trying to retrieve information on a private company base that was believed to be aligned with Hydra on the outskirts of New York.

Although they knew security would be tight (hence bringing the tech genius's) nobody had thought the base would be so heavily armed.

A shot whipped past Bucky's ear. "We can't take them. We should retreat." Clint's voice called out.

Another shot and a familiar cry rang out. "Nat! Was that you? Can you read me?" Tony asked. Bucky hadn't seen him since they first entered the base.

"I'm here." she groaned.

"I'm calling it. Get back to the jet." Steve finally said. "Call out if you run into issues." 

Luckily the whole team was able to retreat.

Once on the jet Bruce started looking over everyone for injuries.

Tony had barely a scratch on him thanks to his suit. Clint had a good size gash down his arm. Peter had a swollen eye.

Sam and Wanda looked like they could collapse into sleep at any second.

Bucky had admitted his shoulder was a bit sore, but he could clean and wrap it back at the Compound.

Steve was the last to enter, carrying an injured Nat in his arms. 

Bruce pulled her to the back of the jet to examine her more privately. Smart man....knowing Natasha would cut their balls off if any of them looked at her with pity.

Once Nat was out of his arms, Steve sat..well more fell back into a plane seat.

"Are you okay?" Bucky asked him. Steve just nodded. He rubbed his face.

Bucky looked at his shaky friend. "Are you sure?"

Before Steve could answer Tony brushed past them. "I'm getting us the hell out of here." he grumbled as he went to the front to fly the jet.

Bucky whipped back to Steve. "I'm good." Steve said with a nod.

Bucky sat next to his friend the whole flight home. He knew that something was up with Steve, but he just couldn't tell what.

Steve was never one to complain. It was one of the things that drove Bucky crazy about him. It didn't matter if Steve's foot was falling off because according to Steve - someone else always had it worse. Bucky was disappointed to see that this was a habit he hadn't managed to shake all these years later.

After landing on the Compound roof, they all headed inside. Fury would come tomorrow to debrief, but for now they could all rest.

Steve walked to the elevator on shaky legs. The rest of the team walked ahead. They were all too eager to climb into bed.

"I think you should have Bruce take a look at you." Bucky said.

"What?" Steve asked not realizing how close his friend was observing him.

"You're the only one who didn't get examined by him."

"I'm fine, Buck. And he needs to help Nat. She's in rough shape."

"I know she's in rough shape. But you guys were in the same section. You both must have been taking on heavy fire." Bucky points out.

"She got hit. I didn't. I only had some hand to hand combat. I'm just tired and want to sleep this day away."
