Avenger's One-shots and Preferences

I'll Protect You- Bucky Barnes

I've been doing some comic reading recently and came up with this one-shot based on a Wolverine comic the Winter Solider appears in.
Basically in a nutshell, when Logan was in Japan in the comics, he married a woman named Itsu Akihiro. When Itsu was pregnant with Logan's son, she was shot and killed by the Winter Solider (the child survived but that's a gut-wrenching story for another time).

Anyway I was thinking what if Logan's memories started coming back and this particular memory of losing his wife and unborn son sends him on the warpath to go after Bucky in a similar fashion that Tony did when he learned the super soldier killed his parents. Also the reader is kinda sorta Wolverine's adoptive daughter who fell in love with Bucky and has to break up the fight before her father kills the man she loves.

Yes I know the X-men aren't part of the MCU (not yet anyway, let's see how that Fox/Disney thing goes), but for this one-shot let's just pretend they are.

Gets a bit angsty, maybe a bit bloody in this one. Enjoy.

"Oh my god," was all you could say after what you and Steve had witnessed. "I knew Buck had done a lot of stuff he wasn't proud of as the Winter Solider," Steve speaks up, "But I never knew how bad it could get."

As a CIA agent, you were assigned to combing through all the new evidence that was recently uncovered in Siberia, all of it footage on the missions the one and only James Barnes carried out for HYDRA as the Winter Solider. Each piece of footage was becoming increasingly difficult to watch, even more so for you considering the secret relationship you were in with the would-be fugitive. Officially you were responsible for finding incriminating evidence against the Winter Solider, but unofficially you were helping Steve prove his best friend's innocence.
The last video footage the two of you saw was probably the worst one yet; you actually nearly threw up after watching the man you love shoot a woman in the head, a heavily pregnant woman at that.

"What the hell could HYDRA possibly want with a dead pregnant woman?" you wonder out loud, "What value could she have been to them?" "A secret agent gone rogue perhaps?" Steve suggests. "Maybe, maybe not," you shake your head, "my gut is telling me there's more to it. Why take so long to find her, long enough for her pregnancy to advance this far." You fast forward through the footage to see if you were missing something. A few minutes in and you were beginning to wish you hadn't done that the minute you catch sight of a very familiar face. "Oh no." You nudge Steve to get him to pay close attention to the footage; he does so with wide eyes at the same face.

"I...I gotta go," you quickly get to your feet and head for the door, but Steve stops you. "What do you think you're doing?" he questions. "I have to warn him, I have to warn James," you answer with urgency, "You saw the same thing I saw he'll kill him if we don't stop him. "You have any idea how long ago that was? What are the chances he even remembers?" Steve points out. "No you don't understand, he's...he's been...." you try to explain but suddenly you were starting to feel dizzy. "(y/n)? What's wrong?" Steve looks at with concern. "Don't...don't worry about me...we have to....stop him..." you pass out, but Steve catches you before you hit the ground. He calls for help before turning off the surveillance footage so no one would no that one of the most dangerous men he's ever known was somehow involved with the Winter Solider.

-----------Flashback----------------

You were an eight year old girl wondering the streets on a cold windy night, alone and no place to call home. You stomach grumbled as you hadn't had anything to eat in several days; at this point you'd settle for a tin can or a piece of cardboard to stave off your hunger.
You find yourself inside a convenient store, and seeing that no one was looking, you decide to grab a bag of chips and a coke. You didn't see the guy at the cash register catch you scarfing down the chips.
