Ladder | Bucky Barnes

Bucky spun quickly, searching the battle for you.
You were fighting a HYDRA agent on the third level of a collapsing building, the wall closest to Bucky had fallen away.
"Y/n!" He yelled as he saw the agent take out a knife.
He ran towards the building, climbing a ladder that was leaning against it.
"Bucky!" Steve yelled, "Look out!"
Bucky looked upwards to where you were fighting, still one floor above him, and then down at the base of the ladder.
His eyes widened as he realized what Steve was worried about. A HYDRA agent stood at the bottom, reaching for the ladder; he was going to pull it down.
"No!" Bucky yelled, climbing upwards even quicker than before. The ladder started shaking; Bucky was almost to your floor. With a yell, he launched himself sideways off the ladder just in time for it to crash down to the ground below. Bucky's metal arm gripped the concrete floor of the level you were on.
Wincing, he pulled himself up just in time to see you kick an agent off the side of the building.
"Y/n, are you okay?" He asked, breathing heavily.
"Yeah, I'm fine." You smiled "Thought you were a super-soldier though. You're breathing really heavily for just that,"
"Uh yeah. The ladder just... reminded me of the train," Bucky lied. You nodded, accepting his words.
No, Bucky wasn't scared of the ladder falling. He was scared of losing you.
