And Then I Wrote Marvel

Reversal of Roles (Part 2: Bucky Barnes x Reader)

Semi-inspired by the media.

"I didn't know it was her."

"Don't lie to me, Rogers. Did you know?"

Steve took a breath and lied through his teeth to give Tony the only answer that he would believe. "Yes."

Tony stepped back in horror. He took a second to look like he was calm, but you could see otherwise. You ran to block the hit before it came, but the grieving man was too fast.

All Hades broke loose.

You retaliated quickly, but Tony grabbed hold of you and tossed you around like a rag doll. Steve tried to come to your rescue, but he was taken down and his feet were bound in a matter of seconds. The man in the metal suit picked you up again and slammed you against one of the cryo chambers. He tried to charge up a repulsor blast, but you broke his gauntlet before he could. You redirected his arm when he resorted to his missiles, and it blew into another chamber. The domino effect took care of the rest of them, and as the last chamber fell onto yours, you were thrown free while Tony was trapped under debris.

"Get out of here!" Steve shouted at you. You took heed immediately, finding a shaft and opening the roof.

Tony tried to fire his working repulsor at you, but he missed, and Steve jumped in between the hallway to the shaft and Tony. He tried to fly, but with his suit so damaged, the best he could really do was float.

"It wasn't her, Tony!" Steve attempted to defend you. "Hydra had control of her mind."

"Move," Tony commanded nonchalantly.

"It wasn't her!"

You jumped your way up the shaft, landing on grate-like ledges. Tony managed to get rid of Steve for the time being, and tried to fly up to meet you, but he could only hop up a few ledges at a time. He got up to where he could charge a repulsor, and as it fired, Steve jumped in front of you to deflect it with his shield. It rebounded to hit Tony.

"He's not gonna stop," Steve told you. "Go."

Tony got back up, and as he flew slowly upwards, Steve wrapped a cord around the neck of the suit, bringing them both down. They both fell onto bottom ledges.

You were almost home free when a missile hit the hinges of the lid on the roof. You jumped back down to the last ledge, not landing so neatly. Tony had caught up to you at last, and there was no running any more. You picked up a metal pole and batted him away, but it didn't hold for long.

He wrapped you in a chokehold, and asked, "Do you even remember them?"

"I remember all of them," you answered honestly.

Tony let the both of you fall down the shaft, and Steve jumped onto the already stressful ride downward. He let go of you, and the two men fell to the ground. You landed on a ledge that forced the air from your lungs.

"This isn't going to change what happened," Steve pleaded.

"I don't care," Tony answered. "She killed my mom."

As they fought, you saw the shield laying on your ledge. You picked it up, and shouting a sort of battle cry, you slammed it down onto Tony's back. He fired a blast at you, and you used the shield to defend yourself. You tossed it to Steve and attacked Iron Man with your bare and metal fists.

Tony was forced to go back and forth between the two of you as you and Steve traded off the shield. A blast from a repulsor shot Steve into the wall, and it was left to you to defend your friend. You kept Tony's arm at bay as he shot a long, continuous blast. You used your metal hand to push Tony into a wall and claw at the arc reactor in his chest.
