LEE'S LEMONADE
My favorite thing about this is the fact that Steve is actually a drug lord that uses his job as a waiter to keep the cops off his trail.
He very much dislikes having to waste his time serving coffee to ungrateful ingrates, however, when this broken looking, ghostly man comes in asking for a coffee (politely) he begins to not despite it.. As much. Bucky becomes a regular, every time Steve asking him to smile and Bucky bluntly denying the request. It's up to you when he caves.
As the Captain of the Avengers, the leading drug-lords in New York, he takes in interest in Bucky that's seen as both shameful and distracting. Tony, his second in command, threatens to reveal their relations, unless Steve recruits Bucky into their whole ordeal. Eventually, he does, but not intentionally. Bucky is now apart of the biggest drug deal in history, and there's no way out of it.
Make this really, really cute as first and then have this random chapter like oh he just had someone kill someone wow how yikes.
If I hadn't taken an oath, I would write this myself, I swear, I love the idea. Definitely include Nick Fury as the leading officer on the Avengers' case. Other roles include as;
Natasha as the Black Widow, the boss bitch who fucks someone's shit up when they don't pay up the money they owe. Clint as Hawkeye, the scout for undercovers, snoops, double crossers, and deals. Tony as Iron Man, the second in command who takes no shit and talks all the shit. Thor as himself, just the strongest dude there who Steve just thinks is cool. Bruce as Hulk, the otherwise calm dealer who assists in Steve's cover but can be a beast when needed. And Steve, the Captain, who leads one of New York's (not to mention the country's) most nefarious drug ring.
