Mine (Bucky Barnes)

Chapter 7

Four days. It's been four days since Talia's family has seen her. Pietro tried to be strong for his little sister's sake but at night he can't hold his fear and sadness so he cries himself to sleep. But on September 18th, 2016 that changed. It was quiet in the Stark-Maximoff-Barnes house. Pietro was in his room with dried tear marks on his face, Daniella was in her bed with her bear that looked like Bucky, and Bucky was in his and Talia's room fast asleep. Around midnight Talia walked into the house around midnight exhausted and walking with a slight limp. The first stop she made was to Daniella's room seeing she was still asleep. The second stop was Pietro's rooms but upon walking in she saw he was sitting up in his bed panting.

"Wanna talk about it," Talia whispered.

"Not really," Pietro said.

"Want me to stay with you tonight? I don't care how old you are you're always gonna need your mother."

"Can I stay with you and Dad?"

"Come on squirt."

Pietro followed Talia to her room and sat on one of the chairs as Talia was changing in the restroom. Once she walked out of the restroom Pietro was already standing. Talia crawled into her bed and Pietro was right behind her. On instinct, Bucky wrapped his right arm around Talia's waist pulling her back to his chest. Pietro curled into Talia who wrapped an arm around him. Within a few minutes, the mother and son had fallen asleep. When morning came around Bucky was the first to wake up hearing little footsteps from down the hall. Carefully Bucky got out of bed and covered Talia and Pietro before walking into the hallway seeing Daniella with her bear and blanket.

"Dani, what are you doing up baby," Bucky whispered.

"Man," Daniella said.

"What man and where?"

"Room. Bow and row."

"All right baby girl let's go check it out."

Bucky picked up Daniell and placed her on his hip as they walked back to her room. Walking in Bucky saw a guy with bow and arrows standing by Daniella's bed.

"One chance to answer. Who the heck are you," Bucky asked.

"My names Clint aka Hawkeye. Fury sent me. He needs your help. Yours and Talia's," Clint said.

"OK. Why should I believe you?"

"He's right Bucky," Fury said coming through the door.

"What happened?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D HQ was attacked. By Alexander Pierce. He's not dead. But that's not what we need yours and Talia's help with. It's that Maria, Phil, Strange, and I want to put all of you into protective custody. Pierce could still be pissed that you guys left HYDRA."

"Dani, Pietro, and Talia go in protective custody. I fight against Pierce."

"And I'll be damned if my husband fights alone," Talia said leaning against the doorway.

"You are gonna stay with the kids even if I have to handcuff all of you together."

"Buck Alex took me too. He made me a Winter Soldier too. He didn't just do it to you. He did it to others. Buck, there are more of us. Now both of us need to fight. We fight and we win. Because we need to make it home to our kids. You're not alone with this."

"Talia if you get hurt I'm gonna feel like it's on me."

"Then you're gonna be pissed. Romanoff left me behind to fight and I kinda have two broken ribs on my right side and a sprained right ankle. Pietro won the bet."

"Exactly why I don't want you to fight. I don't want you to get even more hurt. I can't lose you, Talia."

"You're not going to lose me. If it'll make you feel better I'll stick by your side."

"It kinda makes me feel better. Fine but the moment you get hurt your out."

"Deal."

With that Bucky and Talia were putting on their battle suits. Talia and Bucky had gotten on Talia's bike while Fury was putting Pietro and Daniella in a van. They looked at each other and nodded their head. Bucky and Talia took off to S.H.I.E.L.D HQ and Fury would meet them there. When they pulled up to the new S.H.I.E.L.D HQ in New York Bucky and Talia stood in shock. There was broken glass everywhere and when they walked in there were five bodies.

"Buck I know you're pissed but we need to stay calm. We can't let our anger control us. Bucky listen to me. We let our anger control us it's over. Pierce will win if our emotions get the best of us. We gotta think where would he go?"

"If S.H.I.E.L.D still kept the ships from 2014 then he will go after the ships."

"He's right Talia. Pierce will go for the ship but he can't use them. Thing have changed," Fury said walking up to the two.

"Including the override codes," Talia asked.

"Those have not changed."

"Damn it, Fury," Bucky yelled running/walking off.

Talia tried to keep pace with Bucky but couldn't with her limping. Bucky stopped walking, threw Talia on to his back, and started walking again. When they reached the ship room Talia got off Bucky's back and looked around.

"Fury," Talia said.

"Follow me," Fury said.

As they were walking Bucky pulled out his guns and put a new magazine in each of them as Talia ran a hand over one of her arrows, placed it back in her quiver, and ran her hand over her bow.

"We could get you a new bow Talia," Bucky said.

"No, I like this bow. The strings still strong," Talia said.

"I know that when you give me lessons but I mean I made that bow for you when we were with HYDRA a month after we got together. Why don't you get a new one? I'm sure Fury can find you a new one to use."

"OK, Buck listen to me cause I'm only going to say this once. The day I get rid of my bow is the day Tony decides I'm his sister, the day hell freezes over, and the day the Devil escapes hell. Until that happens my bow stays with me."

With that being said Talia followed Fury until she bumped into his back. Thankfully Bucky caught her before she could hit the floor.

"Fury what's wrong," Bucky asked.

"We might need to call Hill, Coulson, Strange, and the Avengers," Fury said.

"One good reason," Talia said rubbing her ankle to soothe the pain."

"There's a lot of HYDRA agents. And they got weapons."
