Winters Storm~Bucky Barns~

Chapter 7:

~Steve's POV~

"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." There was a subtle sting to her words that started like a bee sting but felt like a venomous strike of an snake.

The bed squeaks slightly beneath my weight as I just sit there. I mean she honestly kinda does have a point; the world doesn't seem to be moving on for the better, they seem to be moving on to forget. My head begins to pound at all the thoughts running through my head. She has a point but that doesn't mean this plan of her will work, that doesn't mean it will bring them back.

The feeling of every emotion and thought colliding and fighting against me just feels like a war with no end. It's enough for me to just lay back and just take all of it in. I mean what if this doesn't work? What if we lose more people? What if I lost her? I have already lost all of the people I have cared about the most. She is the last living thing I have of Bucky. She is the living embodiment of someone I used to know once upon a time.

If I lost Blue then I would have nothing left. My heart pounded in my chest but not out of excitement and happiness, but out of fear and nervousness. Then again she does have a point in how we won't know until we try. If we don't at least attempt then we could blow the chance of ever getting them back. I know she says she's doing this for everyone but her number one subject is Bucky. Seeing the way she clutched her necklace was enough to break me.

Blue desperately needs him back. She won't admit it out loud but after loosing her whole life here and being tortured there Bucky was all she had. She sat in a cold dark cell with out any sort of kindness shown to her but then there was Buck. He always had a soft spot for the small and weak. Blue on the other had was strong on her own, I mean terrible home life, tortured, lost her brother, and became a mutant all in one year.

If that were me I wouldn't have made it. Yeah I was experimented on but I agreed to it and was done in one shot; she wasn't. Blue only had Bucky to try and help her through all of it and try to understand it.

My eyes glance at the clock seeing just how late it really is. 2:00am in bright red light stares back at me. Shit. I still don't feel any better about this idea that she is having but that fact that this is a shot to get them all back is enough to make me cave.

       Sunlight beams the the glass by the front doors as I approach. Blue carefully loads some bags into the back of her car while Scott and Nat figure out the gps. "Got room for one more?"I ask. Her bright blue eyes immediately find mine, happiness yet unease filling them as she closes the trunk. "You can sit up front Cap."Scott says before looking between the two of us.

Without another word Nat and Scott climb into the back seat. She waits till the door slams shut before even taking a step in my direction. "What made you change your mind?"she asks softly, her arms folding over her chest to serve as some protective barrier. "Well I got to thinking about how you were right, what if this is the way we could bring them all back. We actually might have a chance to do it so I'm not about to sit around and wait for it and I'm sure as hell not going to let you take all the glory for it."

She gives a warm chuckle as she wraps her small arms around me. "I'm sorry about last night Steve, I didn't mean what I said."she says, her voice muffled by my chest and jacket. "It's okay Blue. I forgive you." She gives a gentle squeeze before pulling away from me and smiling. "Now will you get your old ass in the car." I give her this playfully hurt look before climbing in.
