Bucky Barnes x

She flipped the post card around with the tips of her fingers, the flimsy paper showing her one side; decorated in bright wondrous colors of the sunset. The black words ' BUCHAREST ' are printed. Lena can't control the smile that breaks out on her face.

He still trusts her enough to send his location, he trusts her enough to sign his name.
He trusts her enough to say thank you, and that he misses her.
It had been months since he's left, and she waited day after day, waiting for this very item.
And here it was.

2 YEARS LATER
"Latest news, the king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, has died. Reports are saying that according to footage, the suspect is identified as James Buchanan Barnes."
Lena stopped everything. She stopped sweeping, she stopped moving, she stopped breathing.
Her eyes flickered towards her tv that was against a wall in her apartment, and she soaked in the digital colors of a picture of Bucky.
Her stomach curled, it ached, and she dropped to her knees. The king is dead.
Several things ran through her head.
Her father is dead.
Her brother will take the thrown.
And she was going to kill James Bucky Barnes.
