Falling (Bucky x Tony)

Chapter 1 Fall

Bucky's Pov:

It wasn't supposed to happen like this...All that planning and hard work for this! It kept repeating in my head...the fight. Steve taking on two Hydra agents at once while I took one out with a headshot but then it went downhill so fast. Fighting on a train had me and Steve on edge but Tony kept us moving. Tony...I was supposed to tell him over a nice meal or maybe bring him flowers. No...it went this way. Some hydra agent with some kind of repulser technology like Tony's but less controlled. She hit Steve sending him flying back and I caught him making sure he was steady. It wasn't until I turned around that I heard the scream. The suit crackled electricity pulsing around it and from it then it went silent.

"Tony!?" Steve shouted and then the repulser hit dead center right where the reactor hid and flung Tony off the edge. The suit falling lifelessly and I didn't hesitate. I jumped the soldier screaming in my head about how we should have protected him better. Falling...reaching...trying...Tony's helmet hit a tree branch snapping it then right when I was about to reach him he hit ice shattering it and sinking into the cold water and I went with him. I dug trying to grab hold of the suit missing once...twice before I finally caught its arm. I pulled and fought our way back up dragging the heavy suit with me but...I couldn't. I'd have to leave it...I started pulling and prying off the armor. I swam up quickly and gulped down the air greedily once out of the water. Dragging Tony onto the snow his head bleeding badly but that's not what made my heart stop. The arc reactor flickering and cracked is what made my world tilt.

"Tony!? Tony? Come on doll...say somethin?" I pleaded as I checked his pulse his breathing was shallow and I looked around. We can't stay out here we need to get him out of the cold. I nodded agreeing with the soldier as I slowly lifted Tony and took off.

It took what felt like hours but we found a small cave that looked dry. I sat Tony down and left him long enough to get some wood...How the hell did this happen?

3 Months Ago

Bucky's Pov:

"Hey, Winter wonderland...Help my short ass." Stark said and I snorted walking over and handing him the flour. "Thanks." He said and went back to baking cookies.

"Didn't know you could bake," I said and he smiled at me warmly.

"Lots of things you don't know about me," Stark said winking at me.

"Sure," I said sarcastically and Stark grinned.

"Tony, I need you to fix this," Barton said walking in and sitting a phone down.

"You know I could just build you a new one," Stark said.

"Seriously?" Barton asked.

"Yeah, why not?" Stark asked.

"Thanks," Barton said and left...He is way too nice, can't be real.

"You are way too nice," I said and Stark looked at me sadly.

"Never used to be," Stark said making me raise a brow. "Being tortured can change you," Stark said and I frowned seeing the dark look in his eyes...A look I know all too well.

"Someone tortured you?" I asked and Stark looked at me again.

"Yup...Why I freak out when my head gets wet...Was a lot worse. Wouldn't take a shower for weeks...Now it's only when my face gets wet." Stark said and I frowned. "I had a car battery here instead of this...Every time they dunked my head in the water it'd shock the shit out of me and I also had to be careful or they could short it out and kill me." Stark said and I saw the glazed look. "I wish I had died there." I felt a cold chill at the way Stark said that. Snap him out of it.
