Little Stark

Chapter 13

Lyras P.O.V
"Damn it!" I said falling down... again
"Your not focused"
"Yes I am" I replied getting up
"Then why are your punches so weak today?" He replied I gritted my teeth then punched only for it to be blocked, Bucky twisted my arm and pulled me closer
"Ow!"
"Your lucky it's still attached to your body"

"Is that supposed to be some sort of comment about your own arm?" I said he let go of me, more like shoving me away causing me to stubble.
"Is snark your only defence right now?" I scoffed
"When is snark not my defence" Bucky rolled his eyes
"Could you focus for one second? You haven't been able to land a single hit on me yet." I clenched my fist and tried to aim for his stupid face, which he blocked... again.
"Is that all you got?"
"Well maybe if my instructor wasn't a super soldier!" He smirked

"Fine I'll let Nat know how terrible your doing, maybe she can come here and teach you a lesson" my eyes widened. Bucky saw my scared expression and tackled me to the ground
"Fuck!"
"Know your enemy's weakness then use it against them."
"How do I do that while their trying to kill me?" I said struggling to break free of Buckys grip
"Simple: research, you know that thing we expect everyone to do before a mission starts, that's why we do mission briefs and recon." 
"Where am I when we do this?" I asked confused Bucky chuckled
"On your phone probably texting your boyfriend" I gritted my teeth
"Don't assume what I'm doing, I could be hacking into a enemy's base." He scoffed

"Fine I'm not lesson learned Sarg now get off of me." I said struggling to get off of me
"Oh um right" Bucky said immediately standing up then holding out his hand I bit my lip not sure if he's still testing me. Deciding he was I took it and before he could move I pinned him to the ground, breathing heavily I looked at him
"Got you"
"That's what happens when you focus"
"What are you saying?"
"Your districted, once you get distracted your not focused, your not focused your not paying attention in a fight, that could cost you your life."
"Ok I tackled you to the ground, why am I still getting a lecture"

"I'm your trainer aren't I" I opened my mouth but nothing came out, Bucky chuckled and I felt his chest vibrate against mine.
"Shut up"I said he smiled at me
"Smiling looks good on you, you should try it more often" I said getting the chance to really analyze his face. For the first time I looked into his bright blue eyes and noticed how sharp his jawline is. My eyes trailed down to his mouth noticing how full his lips are imaging what they would feel like pressed against-
"Hey Buck ready to- oh my god!" Both of us forgetting the position we were in looked over at Steve who just walked in saw us and is now turning away. Both of us looked away from each other and I immediately got off of him.
"Nice training session Bucky" I replied
"Agreed see you later?" I nodded looking away while Bucky left with Steve leaving me more confused then ever.

Buckys P.O.V
"What was that?" Steve asked when Lyra was our of earshot
"What?" I replied
"Don't be clueless you know what I mean! The position I found you guys in" Steve replied as we walked in the elevator
"I don't know what your talking about, she tackled me to the ground far and square."
"Ok Buck"
"Isn't she still with that guy anyway?"
"Yep, Natasha met him"
"Really?"
"Uh huh"

"Well, what did she think? Of him" I said trying to sound uninterested
"Oh um she.... she thought he was ok"
"Well that's convincing,what are you keeping from me Steve?"
"What? Buck you know I wouldn't do that"
"And yet here you are, Steve your the one person I fully trust here please" I begged
"Don't make me question my trust towards you" Steve sighed
"You can't tell anyone else" I nodded
"Follow me" we got off the elevator and Steve led me to Natasha's room where he knocked on the door. Natasha stuck her head open and raised her eyebrow when she saw me

"He deserves to know" she nodded and let both of us inside. Me and Steve sat down on two chairs while Natasha sat on the edge of her bed.
"Do you want to tell him?"
"Tell me what?"
"You discovered it"
"Discovered what?!"
"He's your best friend"
"Someone just tell me what the hell is going on!"

"Lyra is dating a undercover Hydra agent, that's what's going on" Natasha said
"What?!"
"I found his gun when I pickpocketed one of the agents during the attack in town."
"So he is assigned to what? Seduce Lyra? Why?"
"He has this grudge against her family that's all we know." Steve said
"Why isn't anyone telling her this"
"Because it's something she needs to find out herself" Natasha replied
"Until then we've been spending every spare moment we can digging up whatever we can on the guy" Steve said
"Ok what have you guys found?"

Natasha walked over to her night stand opened a drawer then dug through a couple things before getting out a folder and handing it to me.
"This is all we know" I took it and opened it
"Pretty standard stuff, he was born in the U.K, joined Hydra, blah blah blah blah." Natasha said
"Does it say why he hates the Starks so much?"
"I mean do you really need a folder for that?" Natasha asked I just let out a side smile
"No, I didn't see anything, were working on that."
"Shouldn't Tony know?" I asked closing the folder"
"He's gonna say he told me so" Natasha said groaning
"He did tell you so, both of us told you so actually" Natasha sighed
"Ok fine, next guy Lyra dates I'll make sure she does a a whole CIA investigation before the first date.Point is this guy is assigned to not only make her fall for him but kill her." I tightened my fist

"I'll kill him before he even touches a hair on her head."
"Under normal circumstances I would say go for it but..." Natasha started
"But what?" I asked Natasha sighed and squeezed her eyes.
"I think Lyra needs to figure this out herself, she also should deal with him herself."
"What?" Steve asked
"Trust me it will teach her lessons we can't."
"Right like having her heart ripped open" Steve said "that's a great lesson"
"No Steve Natasha is right" I said
"Of course you agree with her"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing" Steve said
"As her trainer I want her to be able to know when she is being targeted a lesson she has not taken seriously." I said while looking at Natasha

"Shove it Barnes we all know you like Lyra, deep down your happy that her boyfriend is a Hydra agent sooner he's gone the better" Natasha replied
"What? That's-
"Accurate" Steve replied I looked at him
"Seriously?" Steve scoffed
"Bucky I'm your best friend of course I know when you've fallen for someone"
"I haven't-" they both looked at me
"Fallen for her" both of them rolled their eyes
"Ok sure whatever, anyway don't you two have a mission to go on?" Natasha said I nodded any excuse to leave this room and more importantly this conversation.

"I'll train Lyra tomorrow, gives me a chance to see how much she's improved." Natasha said
"Sounds great" I said
"Good luck" she said
"thanks Natasha" Steve said I merely smiled as we left her room. The rest of the day I spent packing and reading up on the mission, anything I could do to distract myself from Lyra but when I fell asleep that night I failed.
