Bucky X Mutant! Reader (Part 2)

It was a few weeks after the nightmare incident with Bucky. He has now began coming to you to talk fairly often. Bucky became more outgoing and not as closed off. Even Steve had pulled you aside and talked to you about him, inquiring about what you are doing to make him feel more welcomed. You just told him you were listening to him. What more could you tell Steve. You wouldn't betray Bucky's confidence like that. 

 On the other hand, your progression with your powers has been coming along. You had learned to control your emotions and have made a a few major steps to being able to use your powers safely.

You entered the training area, it was empty, perfect! You set up your yoga mat and sat down. You pulled out a few blocks from your bag and set them in front of you. You took a deep breath and began meditating.

You sat up straight and rolled your shoulders back. Eyes closed you focused on the darkness, your breathing, and the quiet. Deep breaths. In. Out. You began to feel the darkness around you. You let it's calm nature envelop you. Still focusing on your breathing. Letting go of all your stress, all your issues, all your emotions. As you inhaled one more time you felt yourself lift off the ground. You were used to this. It would happen when you were meditating. You exhaled as you descended and touched the ground once more. 

You slowly opened your eyes and looked at the blocks in front of you. Raising your hands you fixated on the block. Made it rise, a dark indigo aura came about the object. You raised your other hand to try to make the block stay in the air. You gently straightened your left hand with your right still holding the block. You finger tips were stretched toward the ceiling and you directed your attention to making the block stay in mid air. You slowly took your hands down and the block stayed in the air. You smiled gently at the feat. You let the block slowly fall to the ground.

"Looks like you have that down pat doll." A voice came from the door. "Who knows, maybe you'll be joining us in the field soon." He teased.

"Very funny Bucky. Lifting blocks is one thing, but stopping bullets? Putting up a shield? I am very far from being able to do that." You told him.

"Have you tried?" He asked raising an eye brow.

"No. Not yet." 

"Why not?"

"Because I haven't had anyone to throw stuff at me, and I have been too scared to ask anyone. What if I lose control?" You confessed.

"Doll," he began as he sat down in front of you, "You won't lose control. Why don't we try? Come on. I can lob the blocks to you and you can try to catch them or stop them. Come on, whats the worst a foam block can do to me?" 

"Okay, but when I say stop, stop okay?" You told him

"I understand loud and clear." He said smiling at you as he helped you up. "So doll how do you want to approach this? Me on one side of the room and I toss them at you?"

"Um... sure. Lets start with that." You told him. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath and cleared your head. When you opened your eyes you nodded at him. He made a move to toss the block. You saw it leave his hand, you raised your hand and made an attempt to stop it. It did. The indigo aura around it made Bucky smile. You moved your hand and pushed the block back to Bucky. He caught it easily. 

"Ok doll. You want to try something a little more challenging?" He asked. You nodded. He tossed the block into his metal hand. He moved to throw it at you. You saw the block leave his fingertips and you made your attempt to stop it. It got half way through the room before it stopped. It was now in your control. You smiled. You had done it. But Bucky was not done. He threw the other block at you. You held the block with your right hand and looked to the other block flying through the air. You caught this one as well, stopping it mid air as well. You smiled at your accomplishment. Then you looked at Bucky and you saw him beaming at you. You dropped your hands and the blocks fell with them. 

"Looks like you've made a lot of progress." You head another voice at the door. 

"What is with you super soldiers and creeping in on my training?" You asked turning to Steve. 

"I came here to tell you. We need you for a mission. Not the mind stuff. Just undercover intel." He told you as he saw the fear spread across your face. "Nat is on a mission with Clint and the guy has seen Wanda before."

"Okay. I guess I can do that." You told him still apprehensive. 

"I will be with you as your 'body guard' so we can get you out any time we need to. Buck you up for it too?" He turned to he friend.

"What just like the good old days?" Bucky smirked.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Steve smiled back.

"So how long will I be spending with two dinosaurs?" You inquired.

"We are just going to be attending a gala in Italy." He told you. You nodded. 

"When do we leave?" You ask.

"I was hoping tomorrow. The gala is in a few days." He answered. "Now you guys can continue with what you were doing." He said as he left the room.

You turned back to Bucky. He wasn't paying attention. You picked up the block with your mind and threw it at him. You saw him jump and his metal hand caught it. He looked at you knowingly. 

"What are you looking at me like that for Barnes? I haven't moved." You told him feigning innocence. He just smirked at you and you smiled back. 

"Do you want to try something more challenging?" He teased.

"Like what?" 

" That shield thing you were talking about. Or the energy ball that Wanda throws." 

"The last time I tried a shield I broke down. I don't know." You told him.

"You broke down?" 

"It takes a lot of control to use my powers, sometimes more than I have a a moment in time," you started as you sat down, "I was trying to make the shield right? I couldn't keep my mind focused enough, memories began to flood into my mind. I couldn't control it. I blacked out and woke up with a head splitting migraine. And the energy ball things? I would rather let Wanda teach me how to do that. I don't want to accidentally break another room." You told him sheepishly. You didn't realize how close he had gotten to you.

"It's okay doll," he put a hand on your shoulder as he knelt in front of you, "I won't force you to do anything you don't feel comfortable with." You looked up at him and he gave you a small reassuring smile.

"Thanks Buck," you said as you smiled back at him.

It was time to go on the mission. It was your first mission in a while, but you were ready. You grabbed your bag and entered the small jet. Steve was already waiting on you, Bucky was not far behind you. You three were in main area waiting for take off when Steve decided to go over the mission again with you both.

"Okay, so (Y/N) you are going to be our bait. You are going to be trying to seduce the guy. I will be your body guard, and it pains me to say this but you need to make me look unrecognizable. Can you do that?"

"Yes Steve. I can," You said holding in a laugh.

"Buck, you will be our look out. You are going to be a guard at the party. You will be standing at the door keeping watch over everything. Nat and Wanda picked out a dress for you to wear. Its in the back."

You groaned. You hated dressing up, and the dress is obviously going to be very scandalous, especially with Nat helping pick it out. You got up and went to go actually check out the dress. You found it hanging up in a small changing room. It was indigo and there was a note attached to the hanger. 

A certain soldier won't be able to keep his eyes off you in this  ;)

~Nat

Keep calm and you'll be fine. Don't lose your head

~Wanda (P.S- I picked the color. Go get him (y/n))

You smiled at the note. Yes, you had a small crush on Barnes. But, you didn't need a relationship right now, and neither did he. Maybe once you both got everything mentally under control again, maybe, just maybe you could. But, you knew that he just saw you as another friend and as much as it broke your heart, you had to be okay with it.
