My Promise

13

Abigail was using the chain as a climbing rope. She finished her book already, had a half pack of Lucky Strikes, and didn't feel the need to take a nap.  She swung around for a bit, then got bored, and fell on her back. She was bored out of her mind, and The Soldier hasn't come back in since he left this morning.

Tony had tried very hard to get Thor back to earth, but nothing had worked. Steve wait impatiently for Thor and damn it if they had to drag him from space to cure Abigail, then he would go up there and drag him by his beautiful blond hair of his.

Bucky just watched as the girl he had fallen in love with just walking around her cell in complete silence.  She was humming a song.

He wanted to go back in there and talk to her, but, Tony and Steve said that it would be a bad idea, being that she always attacked him. Steve noticed Bucky looking at her, a look of someone completely and utterly in love.

It's not the first time he had looked at her like this. He uses to look at her like this since he first laid eyes on her. He remembered when Bucky first saw the green-eyed girl.

Steve walked up the steps to his friend's house. He knocked on the door and waited a few seconds. He stood there for five minutes before finding the spare key and going in.

He saw Makayla getting ready for work. She turned around and jumped at seeing him standing there.

"Oh, Steve! Hello sweetheart." She put a hand on her chest. "You scared the living daylights out of me." She laughed.

"Hey Ma," He laughed too. "Where's Buck?"

"Hmm? Oh! James, he got home from work at three, and been asleep since then." She grabbed her purse. "Know I got to go to work." She kissed on the cheek. "Tell the other kids and him that I love them. Goodbye!" She quickly walked out of the door.

He waved goodbye to her. He walked down the hallway off the living room. There was three room in all. One on the left, another on the right, and one at the end of the hall.

He knocked on the first door. A few seconds later, a boy with wavy hair opened the door. He gave Steve a sleepy glare threw deep blue eyes, with brown specks in it.

"When did you get here?" He said in a sleepy voice. "Why are you here?"

"It's time to get up, school starts in an hour. Wake your sister."

Michale groaned, picked up a pillow on his bed, and hit the girl laying in the bed next to his. She kicked him in the thigh, knocking him to the floor. She sat up in her knees and started to hit him with her pillow, hard.

"Leave. Me. A. Lone." She said in an angry voice.

"Ethel, leave him alone, it's time to get ready," Steve said to her. "And wake up Rebecca."

She looked at him and sat back on her knees. Her hair was everywhere. She huffed a strand that lay in her face. Steve walked away and went to the room down the hall.

The room across from the kids was Makayla's, and the room at the end was Buckys. He knocked on the door. When it didn't open, he walked in. Bucky had a lock on his door but never used it.

Steve found Bucky on his bed. His back was turned to him. He must have been really tired if he fell asleep with his work clothes on, she's an all. Not even under the covers.

Steve sat on the bed next to his friend. He can tell that he was growing a little stubble. Steve started to shake him awake.

"Bucky, Bucky wake up. You have maybe thirty minutes to get ready if you wake up to know."
