Winters Storm~Bucky Barns~

Chapter 6:

      I sit in complete and total shock unsure of what to say or do. "So your telling me you have been stuck in the quantum realm for 5 years?"I suddenly say. "Well more like 5 hours for me, you see time works differently in the quantum realm." "Yeah, yeah but that's where you have been all this time?"I ask cutting him off.

He gives a simple nod as he stuffs more of Nat's sandwich in his mouth. Thoughts rapidly fire through my head, hands gripping the table, eyes darting around. Every single sound seems to fade as my heart pounds, this could be the way I get Bucky back. "I was thinking what if there was a way we could use the quantum realm as a way to go back in time."Scott says as I pull myself back to reality. My eyes immediately jump to his as he looks between myself and Steve.

      "Like a time machine?"Steve questions. "No not like a time machine.......yeah like a time machine." Out of nowhere I jump out of me seat sparks of hope flying through me. "Wait."I say as I stop myself and look to them. "Do you think this could really work? If not then stop right there because you don't need to give us hope, you don't need to give me hope." "No Blue I really do think if we figure this out then we could get them back."he says with confidence.

       Quickly I turn to Steve and Nat, "guys we could get them back, reverse all of it and get them back!" "Slow down Blue we don't know of that will work."Steve tells me as if I'm a little kid. "I know that but it's worth a shot right?" My eyes fart around to all of them, "we have tried every other option, now we have something that could be promising and you don't even want to try? Guys we have spent five long years searching for a possible way and now we have a shot. Nat don't you want Fury and the rest of the team back? And Steve don't you want Sam and Bucky back? Your two best friends would be back where they belong."

     The two of them just sit there for a little while in silence. "Whatever."I finally just snap, "Scott if you think this will work and you're willing to try then count me in."  "Who could we talk to that knows anything about that?"he asks me. I ponder my thoughts for a moment but then it's as if a light bulb goes off in my head. "Stark."

     Scott nods his head, a smile plastered on his face. "Does this mean he can help me get Hope back?" "He can help us get them all back."

     I stand by the side of my bed while soft music plays in the background as I back a bag for tomorrow's drive. "There's a chance this won't work you know."Steve says as he leans on my door frame. Without even glancing up at him I say "and there is a chance it will work. We will never know unless we try." He gives a deep sigh before he moves further into my room. "Blue...." "Steve just stop, okay yeah I know we might fail but I'm sick and tired of sitting around and watching the world pass by like they weren't here."

My fingers begin to play with the silver lightning bolt necklace that he gave me. "The world is trying to move on Blue."Steve says as he gently sits on the end of my bed. "No they aren't, the world is trying to forget them; pretend as if they were never here but they were here. They were all here, he was here..."with a deep sigh of my own I gently cross an arm over my stomach the other pinching the bridge of my nose.

       "I'm not doing this just for Bucky but for every person out there who lost someone. The people we lost shouldn't be forgotten, you more than anyone should know that." After that he doesn't say another word. He just gets up and begins to walk out. Guilt begins to bubble up from the pit of my stomach and consume me. "Steve Wait! I'm sorry." My words seem to catch his attention as he stops and glances over his shoulder but with that he walks out.

      I fully cross both my arms over my stomach before carefully sitting on my bed. "Damn it Blue."I whisper to myself, "why did you have to go and do that?"
