Falling Into Your Life {Avengers/Bucky Barnes}

We Know (BONUS: 10k Chapter)

My eyes shoot open, awaking my senses. I quickly look around, scared. I take deep breathes of air, knowing what I saw was just a nightmare.

I run up to the man before I grab his metal arm. I twist it around, flipping the man onto his back. He groans in pain as his head slams into the ground.

"Carter, it's me..." He croaks out. I ignore him, taking my foot and stomping onto his chest, holding him down. I laugh as he struggles under my hold.

"KNEEL." I mumble as jump down and hold my hand to his neck, cutting off his air supply. His face turns red as he-

I shudder at the replay of my nightmare. I sit up making James stir under the covers.

"Carter?" He asks when he turns to face me. I look down at him and just smile. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I just- I just had a nightmare. I'm alright though." I mumble, plastering a smile on my face. He sits up and clears his throat.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks, trying to comfort me.

"I don't want to trouble you, just go back to bed." I mumble, laying back down, but Bucky stays upright.

"No, tell me." He says. In the night when I wake up from a mountain, Bucky always demands that I tell him what happened in the dream. Always.

"It was just like all the rest." I say aloud, "I kill you."

"You like to kill me, don't you?" Bucky jokes, but I don't find it amusing.

"James, God dammit." I groan, "I don't like having dreams about killing loved ones."

"I know. It's okay, baby. Let's just sleep." He suggests.

"I love you." I say as I smile, cuddling into him.

"I know."

I wake up again, next to James.

"Good morning." I smile. I hear multiple groans from Bucky before I rip the covers off. I hop out of the bed, walking to the bathroom. I do my face, and hair before changing into my clothes for the day. "Hun, have you been grocery shopping this week?" I ask.

"No! It's your turn this week!" He whines. Suddenly, my phone rings. I give him a puzzled look before checking the caller ID. I smile to myself before accepting the call.

"Steve, hey." I say into the phone.

"Tony, how do I turn it on speaker?" Steve asks, "Oh, hi, Carter."

"Why did you call?" I ask.

"Is Bucky there?" He questions, ignoring mine.

"Yes, like always. So, again, why did you call?"

"If you're up to it, we have a mission." Steve says and suddenly my heart starts racing.

"Yep, yes. I'll be at the tower with James by my side in twenty minutes." I spit out.

"Umm, okay. Great!" He says before I hang up. I look over to Bucky.

"Who was that?"

"Steve. He was wondering if we wanted to do a mission... I said yes." I grimy smile.
