She's from the Stars ⭐ Bucky Barnes

3rd person POV

Steve and Bucky, who was carrying Clover, made it under the falling tower into the quinjet hanger just in time with the help of Wanda and Clover. But they were met with Natasha who was the only thing standing in the way of them and the quinjet.

 "You're not going to stop." Natasha said to Steve.

 " you know I can't. "

Bucky glanced down at Clover when she went limp in his arms. He rubbed her back and quietly called out her name. But he got no response. "Steve."

 Steve looked towards his friend and saw Clover fell unconscious. He turned back to Natasha who slowly brought up her arm with the tazer.

 "Then I'm going to regret this."

Natasha aimed behind the two and shot at T'Challa who was coming up behind them. "Go." She told them. She continued to shoot at the king as Steve and Bucky made it up into the Quinjet.

 Steve took the front seat and Bucky sat himself behind Steve, holding Clover in his lap. Steve was able to get into the air not long before War Machine started chasing after them. Steve made the quinjet go faster and soon enough nobody was behind them. Now all they had to do is make it to Siberia in time.

 "How's Clover?" Steve asks Bucky.

 They were getting closer to the place where Bucky was kept but it would still take take a while to get there. So Steve decided that chatting will probably make the time go by faster.

Bucky moved some hair out of Clover's face. "Still out cold."

 "Did you know she could do that?" Steve mentions whatever Clover did back at the airport.

 "No."

 Steve half smiled, "Guess that proves she really is an alien."

Things went silent again. The only noises heard was the Quinjet's engine and Clover's steady breathing. The two men alone with their own thoughts. Bucky remembered everything that's happened in the past 3 days. All the chaos that's started.

"What's going to happen to your friends?" Bucky breaks the silence this time.

"Whatever happens, I'll deal with it." Steve answered quickly, not wanting him to worry about it.

Bucky let's out a shaky breath. "I don't know if I'm worth all this, Steve."

"What happened all those years, it wasn't you."

"I know. But I did it."

 "Buck, just because hydra took you and used you, that doesn't make you any less human." Steve retorted.

 "Your team is spilt apart. You are fighting against each other. Multiple nations are upset. Captian America is now a wanted person. All because of me. Maybe after we take care of the other Soldiers I should turn myself in." Bucky listed off the things that have occured.

 "And what about Clover?"

Bucky fell silent.

Steve took his friend's silence as a sign to continue, "You know I talked to her yesterday. She told me about her father and how she came to Earth. She also told me that she considers you the only family she has left."

"-That means she basically considers you her surrogate father. You need to be there for her. She needs you."

 That made Bucky's eyes well up a bit. Clover's never said to him that she's seen Bucky as her other father. But Bucky has known since the first few months he and Clover spent together, that he would take care of her like the child he probably never had.
