It was all going wrong. Wilson was out of action. Banner had dissappeared. Stark and Romanoff weren't responding. Barnes and Rogers were surrounded, but weren't going down without a fight.
Steve threw his shield, it hitting two Hydra agents before being caught by Bucky who used it to shield himself as he shot another three coming from a different direction.
'Stark, are you there?!' Steve frantically shouted. 'If you can hear me, we are seriously needing some back up here!'
Steve picked up an agent and threw him into a bunch more coming from a corridor to his left before Bucky finished them off. The two super soldiers managed to finish off all the attackers after a few minutes.
***************
They stopped to take a breather and figure out their next move.
'We're not going to make it out of here unless we leave now Steve.'
'I can't leave them Bucky, they might be in danger!' Bucky sighed heavily before looking into Steve's startling blue eyes.
'Okay, we'll try to find them, but we're sticking together! There's no way I'm losing you on our first mission together!' Bucky tilted his head to the right and softly pressed his lips to Steve's before pulling back and heading down the corridor.
'Wait up, I thought you said we were sticking together!' Steve jogged down the corridor to catch up.
***************
As they rounded a corner they heard a scream that sounded familiar.
'Natasha!' Bucky sprinted towards the distressing noise, leaving Steve behind. He ran down three flights of stairs and flew through a door to his left, seeing Natasha lying unconscious on the floor.
'Shit, Nat, can you hear me?' Bucky ran over and knelt down beside her, feeling for a heart beat. Thankfully he found one quickly and took a deep breath of relief. Steve ran through the door just as a gunshot rang out. Steve looked around trying to figure out where it was coming from. He spotted a Hydra agent taking cover behind a flipped table and promptly put him out of action. It was only when he looked closer at his partner that he realised where the bullet had ended up. Crimson liquid was slowly seeping out of Bucky's chest. His now dull eyes were looking up into Steve's, pleading with him.
'Shit, no! Fuck! Bucky! God. Bucky, stay with me! You're gonna be fine!' Steve grabbed Bucky by the shoulders as he slumped forward. 'Bucky, listen to me, you've got to keep your eyes open, keep looking at me! Come on man, you can do this!' Steve was high on adrenaline at this point. 'Stark, Stark can you hear me!? Fucking answer me! We have two men down!' Still no reply. 'Shit, Bucky, you're gonna be okay. Speak to me!'
'Calm down Stevie. You're okay. You'd think...you'd been shot...or something,' Bucky joked weakly, a small smile spreading across his face.
'This isn't the time for fucking jokes Bucky!'
'Language...Steve!' Bucky managed to croak out. He realised he wasn't going to make it out of here alive, but he needed to keep Steve calm. He knew if he didn't he wouldn't make it out either.
'Tell me...stories...' Bucky looked up into Steve's worry stricken eyes from where he was lying in his lap.
'Um... How about the first time we kissed? Do you remember that? It was before the war, three nights before you left. We both got really drunk and started playing truth or dare. Just the two of us. I dared you to run down the street in your boxers. You did it. You dared me to pour a bag of dirt on our grumpy neighbours sofa. I did it. I dared you to go and flirt with the old lady down the street and you did it.' Steve stopped briefly, a smile stretching across his face. 'You dared me to kiss you and I freaked out because secretly is always wanted to do it and thought that you would hate me if I did. I thought you were joking. Until you grabbed me and shoved me against the wall, I almost had a heart attack! That was one of the best nights of my life.' Steve looked down at Bucky. His hand still on Bucky's wrist, feeling his pulse slowing steadily. What kept him alive for so long was a mix of the serum and the fact that his leather jacket was tight enough to apply some pressure to the wound. Steve had always liked that jacket, it looked amazing on Bucky. Now he loved it even more. It gave him some extra time with his favourite man. The only person who understood everything he had been through. The only man he could trust completely.
'I don't know if I can do this Bucky, I can't lose you again! You promised we'd stay together...'
'You...have to,' Bucky choked. 'I...love...you...Punk.' The last thing Bucky saw was a single tear drip down from Steve's face and land on his cheek.
'Love you Jerk...' Steve leant down and kissed Bucky's forehead lovingly. 'I love you so much.'
Steve gently moved Bucky from his lap and stood up. He balled up his fist and flew at the wall, punching holes in the plaster. He screamed. He screamed and screamed. He punched until there was a hole big enough to fit a small horse through. Blood leaked from his knuckles as he slid down the wall, tears slipping from his eyes.
***************
The noise he had made had alerted a small group of six Hydra agents of his location. They came running through the door, guns blazing. Steve shot two while putting another out of action with his shield. He moved In front of Bucky's unmoving body to protect him from stray bullets. His once blue eyes were now a dark stormy grey, anger was bubbling up from inside of him. 'You bastards! You bastards killed him!' Two bullets hit Steve in the stomach. He clutched his side as he shot blindly, somehow managing to kill two of them. He wasn't fighting now, he was simply letting loose all the rage, all the pain and anger from inside him. The last man standing managed to imbed a bullet in Steve's shoulder before getting shot himself. Steve collapsed to the ground, blood seeping from his wounds. Slowly he managed to drag himself back across the floor towards Bucky, using the last of his energy. He grabbed Bucky's still warm flesh hand and gripped it tight. He ran his other hand through Bucky's hair before pressing one last long kiss to Bucky's lips. He curled up, still holding his lover. 'Together.'
