Bucky Barnes Prompts - Head canons, Ideas, and Avengers Prompts

Baby/Kid Bucky Au

*this is what Bucky looks like, no metal arm

Loki finds Bucky in the tower alone and turns him into a walking/talking one year old. The Avengers come home and panic, not being able to find Bucky and follow the sound of child-like crying. Clint and Tony somehow get DNA samples and Bucky's identity is confirmed.

----------------

(Boys of the team, excluding Vision)

Bucky's bottom lip trembles and he holds his pudgy hands to himself. Eyes beginning to water and a small whine slipping out.

The entire team stops in their tracks and their eyes widen in horror.

"Oh no." Clint says

Steve immediately takes steps forward, his hands outstretched to try to calm Bucky down.

"Hey hey-" he thinks twice before calling him sweetie "hey buddy please don't-"

And Bucky sobs

Steve rushes forward but Bucky reels backwards. Fat feet trying to get him as far away from Steve as possible.

The team gasps when Bucky nearly falls backwards into the common area and sighs when he climbs down instead.

Bucky continues to bubble and sniffle, his tiny human hands close to his face.

Steve tries to approach again and is meet with Bucky crying loudly, "No stop! No! No! No! No Steb no!"

Bucky starts crying for real, wailing and rubbing his face.

Clint, the one dad on the team, crouches down and starts singing in a soft voice.

Bucky stops to listen but keeps crying anyway. Not wailing as loudly but still definitely having a fit.

Thor unties his hair and lies down on his belly and rises up, clapping and making sea lion noises. A big grin on his face.

Bucky giggles and lands on his butt, making grabby hands for Thor but when Thor falters in his step Bucky wails loudly again. Thor's shoulders sag and he remains with the others.

Bruce crouches down and starts to simply explain photosynthesis. A subject that Bucky had always thought was pure and relaxing. Bucky sniffles and chews on his fingers, clearly engaged in the lecture. Bruce finishes with CO2 and oxygen and lets out a big breath. "Okay?" Bruce tries.

Bucky squeals and his hands shoot up, "Ya!"

The entire team lets out a sigh of relief.

Steve gets up to pick up Bucky and moves forward, "I never would've thought that-"

And Bucky shrieks again and tries to get away.

"No! No! No Steb!" Bucky cries out.

Steve stops in his tracks and tries his utter best not to fucking cry.

His best friend doesn't trust him, not even as a child. He did way back when but, somethings changed now.

Steve kneels and sits on the heels of his feet.

"Bucky, please-"

Bucky wails and slumps in his spot. Crying softly and his little body shuddering.

Steve retracts his outstretched hands and hugs himself tightly.

Bucky sobs quietly and curls his feet into him.

Natasha strides in and stops. Her eyes widen at the team and she gets on her knees behind Bucky.

She starts by cooing him.

"James?"

Bucky's head shoots up and he wriggles to find the source. He turns and finds Natasha.

"Hey James," she says taking out her headphones, "what's going on?"

Bucky twiddles his thumbs and his mouth opens and shuts.

"Its okay, take your time."

Bucky struggles and stutters, "No."

"No?"

"No."

"Okay. Why no?"

Bucky gets frustrated and palms his face, eyes swelling with tears again.

"No!"

And he starts crying and wailing again.

Natasha sighs and gets up to continue her day.

Bucky cries through another one of Bruce's lectures. Tony gets him a bottle and he eyes it for a moment before drinking it. He clutches one pudgy hand to Tonys shirt, the other holding the bottle. Tony 'awes' to the actions and brings baby Bucky to his chest level so he can properly nurse him.

Clint takes a picture.

Bucky finishes the bottle and grunts, satiated.

He makes grabby hands at Thor and Thor rushes over and scoops him up into his arms.

Bucky clutches Thor's chest and nuzzles into his right muscle.

Bucky falls asleep with a tired sigh.

----------------

Clint sits down at the bar. "That was crazy stressful."

Thor is lying down, the stress also making him sleepy and Bucky gently but protectively cradled to his chest.

-----------------

Wanda and Pietro come home. Pietro immediately wants to hold the baby but Bucky cries and runs to hide behind Wanda's legs.

She laughs and turns and crouches to face Bucky.

Her skirt and her shal flowing before resting on the floor.

"Well hello there." She cooes, her hand gently pressing against Bucky's teeny fingertips. 

Bucky has one finger hanging out of his mouth and he stares at Wanda in awe.

"Hi!" Wanda says with more enthusiasm and cracking a wider smile.

Bucky smiles and continues to play with Wanda's fingers. He reaches out with his other hand to grab Wanda's face. He accidentally pokes her eye and the team gasps.

"Bucky, no. That was not okay! Say you're sorry." Clint scolds, hands on his hips.

Wanda laughs, removing Bucky's right hand from her left cheekbone.

"It's okay," She says light-heartedly, "I'm fine." She says directly to Bucky's worried doe eyes.

Bucky continues feeling her face until his pudgy hands brush against scars and bruises.

"You're hurt!" He says in a shocked voice that managed to still be a whisper.

Wanda smile and holds his tiny hands away.

"I'm fine, Bucky. Okay? I was on mission." She says stepping away to get up.

She towers over him for a moment when Bucky crumples into himself.

"Aw. It's okay." Wanda says, scooping off the floor and seating him on her hip.

"C'mon." She says bouncing him and he laughs, smile cracking his face and cheeks rosy pink.

They spend the rest of the afternoon making the team incredibly envious of how fucking adorable they are.
