The Buchanan Conspiracy (A Bucky Barnes Story) #Wattys2015

Chapter Seven

Steve: Wh-what? Serioulsy people, stop inboxing me with ridiculous notions that it's Bucky who has terrorised Violet. YOU'RE WRONG!!! BUCKY IS DEAD, HE DIED BY FALLING OFF A TRAIN BECAUSE I COULDN'T SAVE HIM!!! I-I...No...nonono...

I found Violet in the kitchen crouching underneath her table, she was screaming her head off, clutching a frying pan. All she kept saying was 'he's here, here!' I don't know what she meant. I took her back to the Towers, she didn't protest at all. Right now, Vi is asleep, Bruce gave her some sleeping pills to help her keep calm. In the morning I'll ask her what happened.

Could it be Bucky...?

Steve: STOP IT, STOP IT. This is serious. Are you honestly expecting me to believe that my best friend has somehow escaped death and has become a freaking woman-terroriser? Do you know insane that sounds? I know that the situation is a delicate one because I just freaking had to stop the girl I care about from hitting me with a pan while she screamed! This notion of yours is crazy. Bucky. Is. Dead. You all know that I would do anything to have him alive but he's never coming back. Ever. I need your help, not weird he's-alive-and-kicking crap. Ok?

* VIOLET WALKS INTO THE ROOM *

Steve: * CLOSES LAPTOP* Hey, I didn't know you were up.

Violet: Yeah, I have been for a while, I just...needed some time to think. Who are you talking to?

Steve: Just some friends.

* AWKWARD SILENCE *

Violet: You've probably got a lot of questions.

Steve: You could say that.

Violet: But I can't give you any.

Steve: What?

Violet: I'm serious I can't, if they find out I have then...then I'm dead. They'll send him again and this time ot won't just be a threat. He'll kill me, Steve, and they'll make you watch because you know.

Steve: Know what? I don't know anything-

Violet: And that's how it's got to stay.

Steve: Who is he? How am I going to protect you if I don't know who the enemy is?

Violet: You're not, that's the whole point! Steve, just forget about me, take me home and pretend I never existed, I'll work out better for the both of us! We'll both get to remain alive!

Steve: Don't I get a say in any of this, it's my life as well.

Violet: No, because you think you're invincible, well you're not. You can get hurt, you can DIE like the rest of us. Being Captain America does not make ypu immortal!

Steve: * SMILES TO HIMSELF * You guessed, huh?

Violet: I knew from the beginning, I'd recognise those beautiful eyes anywhere.

Steve: So what are we going to do?

Violet: I just told you, forget me.

Steve: You know that's not an option.

Violet: Are you always so disobedient?

Steve: Maybe you can tame me.

Violet: Down boy.

Steve: Ok guys, I gotta get Violet to tell me who attacked her yesterday, any ideas? You guys are clever. :) I know you'll help me out. :)
