Chapter One

A/N: About 1300 words

You have just woken up from your stressful sleep to the sound of your alarm striking at exactly 6 AM. You groaned and sat up, before shutting it off. Your flight leaves in three hours, but you wanted to make sure you had everything ready before you left.

You washed up and tied your hair up into a messy bun and threw on the hoodie with sweatpants. You grabbed your phone and dialed Bucky's number. After two rings, he answered,

"Hello, doll."

Ugh, he is so sweet, you thought.

"Good Morning, buck. How did you sleep?"

"Pretty well, my excitement got the best of me and i slept pretty easy dreaming about you."

"That sounds pretty backwards since your excitement should keep you up, tests have sho--"

"Doll, I was in the army, you are speaking nonsense" he laughed.

You smiled and responded, "Right, well, I'm all packed now. It's been an hour so i should be heading out soon."

"Make sure you let me know as soon as you board so i know exactly how long i have til i see you, doll."

You felt your cheeks burn up, you chuckled and responded, "Yes, sir. I'll see you soon !" You smiled.

"I will see you soon, ma'am"

And with that you hung up and took a deep breath. This is it, it is now or never. You will be meeting him in only 8 hours. You double checked your bag and lastly, you packed your journal into the front pocket, behind your work books. You zipped up the black suitcase and exhaled.

It's time to go.

You ran downstairs after calling for an uber about 10 minutes ago, when they pulled up to your house. You got inside and gave them the address to the airport.

As you arrived, you handed the driver the cash and smiled as you grabbed your bags and walked into the tall glass doors of the airport.

You walked up to the woman at the desk and gave her your ticket information then checked in. You put your ticket away after.

You went to take your seat and pulled out your phone, to call buck after setting down your bags beside your chair. You rang him and he didnt answer, you assumed he fell back to bed and left a voicemail,

"Hey, buck. It's me. I am at the airport now and have a minute til the plane arrives, I cannot wait to meet you. I assume you have fall--"
You paused as your stomach began to groan,
"Ooh, i havent eaten," You laughed,
"I need some food in me, but anyways, i assume you have fallen asleep, which is not like you, since you were, oh, sooo excited to see me," You chuckled after speaking in a sarcastic tone,
"No worries, i am on my way to eat now. just know i miss you and dont be late ! I love you, bye! "

You hung up and walked into the food court when you heard a few screams from the kitchen and then loud thuds. You couldn't have left out of the door, considering it enjoyed squeaking. You quickly hid underneath a nearby desk and tucked your bags behind you.

This is it.

You knew it.

"This is where i die."

You heard tough footsteps behind the table, along with a deep, familiar voice, speaking in fluent russian.
You immediately covered your mouth with both hands and attempted to slow down your breathing. The footsteps faded toward the back kitchen which you took as a possible signal to run. You peaked your head out and scanned the room. It was clear, however, the ceiling shun with a glimmering light as if it was reflecting off something bright or metallic. You grabbed your bags and began crawling toward the door, until you felt a presence above you.

Fuck.

'I am so dead," is all you could think of.

You turned around without hesitation and you immediately noticed what the light shun off of.

There it was.

A metallic arm, attached to the left side of a tall, broad man. He had dark black goggles and a thick black mouth-guard, almost as if it was a muzzle to tame him. The man stared at you and spoke a few clear words in russian,

"Она следующая"
"She is next"

And with that, he wrapped his big hands around your throat and picked you off the ground , your reflexes came in a bit late but you used your maximum strength and pulled at his long hair and began kicking him, hoping you were close enough to his pants.

You weren't.

You stood at 5'2 and the man was clearly larger.

You lost your breath and the last you remember was the man, dropping you to the floor and a redhead, in a black skin-tight suit, throwing a type of electrical charge in a small round disk at his metallic arm.

Then black.

You woke up with an ice pack on your head as you laid on a few of the chairs at the terminal. You sat up and saw no one injured, however there was a not on your bags, which read,

" S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hope the ice pack helps. Don't speak of what happened today, no one was hurt and you didn't see anything. We are a government team and we will take the man down without the public on lookout. However, we do need you to watch your back. If he finds you, we may not be around next time to help.
- Agent R."

Your heart sunk,

"What does this mean ? Am i in danger?" This is all that ran through your mind. As well as, 'I want bucky', yet he still wasn't answering.

You, of course, could not see the man, yet you knew that voice. It was too familiar, You didn't know where it was from, however. You took in a deep breath to attempt to relax yourself from the previous events. You checked your watch and as you did, you heard the P.A. system turn on and a man speak,

"Plane to New York will be boarding now."

You quickly got up, hid the note and walked up to security. Your bag was checked and then you gave your ticket to the woman and headed down the long hall onto the plane. Once you arrived at your seat, you placed your bags in the overhead and sat at the window.

Before you took off, you pulled out your phone and sent buck a picture of the outside view of your window with a text,

"We are a go for mission meet up"

You sent the text, plugged your earbuds and played your music as you dozed off for the next few hours til arrival.

You woke up as the plane had landed and your phone was almost out of battery. You turned off your music to try and save the battery then placed it in your back pocket. As you began, grabbing your bags out, your heart raced at the thought of finally seeing him.

Your perfect Bucky Barnes.

You took a deep breath and put a smile on your face to hide the anxiety that ran through your body and headed inside. You texted bucky once you sat down,

"Hey, buck. I made it. I'm in the big apple buddy ! You know what i look like, don't wait too long to find me :)"

Send.

It has been 10 minutes since the text sent, delivered and still no sign of him. You were beginning to get worried when a deep voice called out for you. You jumped up with the biggest smile on your face, until you turned around and found someone you were not expecting.

"Uh, who the hell are you?"
