Little Stark

Chapter 4

Buckys P.O.V
Lyra smiled at me while the song played, say something you idiot don't  just stand there and stare at her that's creepy.
"Do you wanna get some air ?" Lyra asked
"Oh ok" I said we both walked over to the nearby balcony, we leaned against it watching the couples dance.

"That's the one thing I missed out on that I wish I didn't."
"What?" I asked
"That" she said pointing in the general direction of the dance floor
"slow dancing?" I asked she laughed
"No, being in love"
"You've never-?"
"Being a secret agent doesn't give you much time for a serious relationship." I nodded

"Understandable HYDRA didn't give me the night off much either."
"Did you want it? Back then, before the war?"
"I don't remember much, Steve is helping though." She nodded I felt awkward her telling me so much and me shutting her out.
"I don't think I thought about it really, I was just focusing on saving people and doing my part in the war." She nodded
"How very brave of you" I looked over at Steve who was talking to Thor

"No Steve is the brave one, he just went in, he didn't care that he wasn't as strong as the others he wanted to help."
"You guys seem close"
"He's the only person I trust anymore, he's never let me down, even when I tried to kill him his stubborn ass kept trying to help me"

"I know what you mean, Nat is about the closest thing I had to a family growing up, she's like my older sister. She helped me when S.H.I.E.L.D first brought me in. It wasn't easy I was scared, nervous, and anxious. But she helped me. She didn't push me to trust her or anything. She answered all of my questions and gained my trust on her own terms."
"Now here you are"

"Yeah it only took a few years of intense training and crying, lots of crying. It got bad too and it's not pretty at all."
"I doubt that" I said clearly my filter and mouth aren't cooperating tonight. She looked at me and smiled
"Aren't you a charmer"

"Well I don't like to brag but I had some game."
"Oh really? What a hundred years ago? What did you do huh?" She crosses her arms and looked at me ready for a challenge "pretend I'm a girl your trying to whoo" I smirked
"Well doll no one says whoo anymore"
"No one says doll anymore either"
"Fair point, ok so I would go up to them and tell them that it would do me the absolute pleasure if they would love to go dancing with me some time."
"That's it?"
"Well you haven't seen me dance yet"
"Um I beg to differ is your memory getting a little foggy because we just danced 5 minutes ago"
"No that kind of dancing come on"

before I knew it I dragged her onto the floor and pulled her close to me keeping both of my arms wrapped around her waist, her hands were on the back of my head resting on my neck.
"This kind of dancing" I said and together we started dancing. Just like before it felt like nothing else mattered, that no one else was in the room just her. The light even went past her face again highlighting her beautiful features. Before I knew it she had stopped and I looked around to see other couples breaking apart and walking away from the dance floor.

"Now that was impressive, I understand now, thanks for the dance Sergeant Barnes." She said smirking before I could correct her she had already walked away. I sighed and walked towards Steve who had his arms crossed.
"What was that?"
"What?"
"That" He said gesturing to the dance floor

"Well Steve that's a dance floor people dance on it."
"Yeah they do and it's not normally with someone who you just met 5 minutes ago, Tony is gonna kill you."
"No he's not nothing happened we danced that was it" Steve smirked
"What?"
"Clearly you didn't see the look on your face"
"What look?"
"That puppy dog look"
"I don't have that look"
"Yes you do, just like I said before man be careful" Steve patted me on the shoulder before going over to get something to drink.

Lyras P.O.V
The rest of the party went by great, me and Bucky sadly didn't dance again though we did talk a couple times before the party eventually ended and everyone went to their respective rooms. I did as well wishing people good night as I passed them in the hall.

I opened my bag then started to organize them in my dresser before I came across something: my file. I remember Furry gave it to me telling me to give it to Tony. I walked down and found him looking something up and muttering to himself. I put the file next to him and he faced me when he saw it.
"What's that?" He asked
"My manual" I said smirking and stared to walk away
"Oh and by the way, wings is on page 3"  I said before walking away and back to my room. I laid down in my new bed and waited for sleep to overtake me. Or so I thought no instead I was plagued with a nightmare.

I looked around but all I saw was darkness, I saw a little light ahead and started to run towards the light, but then I herd a voice behind me
"Hello Lyra, are you ready for your next experiment?" I didn't turn around but my heart started racing at the familiar voice. I herd footsteps and another voice said
"Yes this one is sure to work, at this rate you will be just as strong as Captain America." A third voice chimed in

"Yes if you would just hold still for us" I started to run faster and I saw the dark light getting closer, I smiled maybe that would be the way out. But a HYDRA doctor blocked my way. He had a needle in one hand
"Just hold still Lyra and this will all be over"
The next thing I remember doing is waking up screaming and then painting.

My door flung open and there was Bucky dressed in a tank top and pyjama pants.
"Sorry" I said still panting
"No it's ok I get them too, nightmares from HYDRA right?"
"Yeah" I said he walked over
"It's ok they are over now as long as you tell yourself that they aren't real, that your not there anymore and that HYDRA can't control you anymore."

I nodded and started to take a couple deep breaths. Bucky slowly sat down next to me
"That right just take some deep breaths, I normally get up walk around a bit." I nodded then I herd other voices
"What the hell was that?"
"It sounded like a scream"
"It came from Lyras room" shortly after  Tony peaked in followed by the rest of the team.

"You ok?" Tony asked
"Yeah just HYDRA nightmares" I said
"I got her" Bucky said gently rubbing his hand against my arm.
"Well it looks like your in safe hands" Steve said Tony glared at him but Steve just ignored it
"As long as your all right" Thor said
"I'm all right"
"Well then I'll see you tomorrow Little Stark" I opened my mouth to correct him but he had already left I sighed and others started to leave to, Tony glaring at Bucky before he left."
"Tony doesn't seem to like you very much"
"Yeah well there's a reason for that"
"Why?"

"I'll tell you some other time, preferably not at 3 in the morning." Bucky got up and stood in the doorframe
"If you ever need anyone to talk to I'll probably be up or my room is just down the hall." I nodded
"Thanks Bucky" 
"Good night Lyra" and with that Bucky shut my door and left me with my thoughts once again.
I know it looks like Bucky is getting attached really fast but Bucky wouldn't be Bucky if he didn't start to shut everyone out at some point right?
