Life Lessons with Bucky

Narrator's POV

"Oliver." Peter said, walking into Oliver's room. He saw that Oliver's bed was empt. "Oliver?" He asked again. "Ollie." He said, looking around. He picked up the blanket, he wasn't there. "Oliver!" He shouted.

"And then you hold it like this." Bucky said as he held a butter knife in his hand.

Oliver held a spoon like Bucky had just done. "Okay." He looked at Bucky for further instructions.

"And if someone is annoying you, you trike them in one of the following arteries-"

"Mr. Barnes!" Peter raced downstairs. "Oliver's gone, have you-" He stopped at the bottom of the stairs when he saw Oliver and Bucky's sitting at the dinning table, holding silverware. "Um... I'm not interrupting something, am I?" He asked.

"No..." Bucky hid his butter knife behind his back and lowered Oliver's spoon. "Not at all."

"Go long Peter!" Wade said as he threw a football.

"Wade! Wait!" Peter yelped as he saw the ball fly over his head. He shot webbing at it and caught it. "You didn't give me a heads up."

"You're suppose to run when I say "Go long"." Wade explained.

"And this is called a rainbow kick." Oliver said as he manipulated a soccer ball with his legs.

"Wow, that's impressive." Bucky said.

The four were out on a picnic in one of the fields in the wooded area of Tony's property.

"My team won the state championship." Oliver said, as he did some tricks with the soccer ball. "We're the Cubs."

"Oh, you play?" Bucky asked.

"Yup." Oliver said, bouncing the ball on his knees. "You should come see one of my games. You are officially invited to all my games this season." Oliver said.

"Great. I'll make sure to invite Steve and Wilson to come along." Bucky smiled at him.

"Yes!" Oliver smiled.

"And then I was told that someone had come to take me. I was really confused."

"Uh-huh."

"Give me back my shoe Wade!" Peter shouted in the background.

Wade laughed. "Uh! Hey, no fair!"

"Haha!"

"Then Ms. Betty told me a family was coming for me. That was the best day of my life." Oliver told Bucky his story as he sat on the green grass, spreading his legs for Bucky to place his head between as he laid down. Oliver wore a Spider-Man hoodie.

What can I say? He was his brother's biggest fan.

Oliver was picking flowers and putting them in Bucky's hair. "Then I gathered my things and put them in my backpack and walked down the hall and into the dinning hall to meet my papa."

"Were you scared?" Bucky asked.

"You stoned me! It's only fair." Wade said.

"A little bit because the orphanage was the only place I had known my entire life. I didn't know if I was ready to leave it yet." Oliver said, as he placed a white daisy in Bucky's hair.

"And then?" Bucky asked.

"I got to know my papa better. He was really nice." Oliver said. "I said goodbye to everyone and walked out with my papa. That's when I met Peter. Oh." Oliver dropped a flower in Bucky's face. "Sorry. Let me-"

"AAAHH!" Peter yelped.

Bucky picked it up. "Here." He said, looking up at Oliver, pushing some of his curls behind his ear and placing the flower behind his ear. He smiled at Oliver.

"Bucky, do you have any family?" Oliver asked.

"Well, I have Steve and Wilson with me." He said. "They're the only family I have."

Oliver looked at him. "Don't worry. I'll be your family." He smiled.

Bucky smiled. "Come here, you." He reached his arms for Oliver and picked him up. He placed him above his face. "Swoosssshhhhh." Bucky made noises with his mouth.

Oliver laughed and stretched his arms out. "I'm an airplane."

Bucky laughed. "Ollie, we went over this. Humans can't be airplanes."

The four sat around the dinning table, happily eating the dinner that Bucky had made.

Tonight they were having blackened salmon tacos, and boy were they delicious.

"Mr. Barnes, where did you learn to cook like this?" Peter asked, with a mouthful. "It's so good."

Bucky laughed. He swallowed what he had in his mouth and wiped his mouth before speaking. "You see, when you're not really called for missions, and are left all alone in the apartment S.H.I.E.L.D's provided you all day, you have a lot of time to watch cooking programs." Bucky said. "Not to mention read all the magazines they provide for you."

"Well thank goodness for that." Wade said, taking a bite out of his last taco.

"They're all low calorie foods too, just in case your dad asks." Bucky said.

"Oh yeah, Dr. Strange is very strict on that."
Peter said. "Being a doctor and all."

"Tony has taken that path too since we moved out here." Wade said. "Going all green and stuff."

"They only do this for your health." Bucky said. "You'll be thanking them when you get older."

"Alright, we don't need your preachings Barnes." Wade said, standing up and taking his plate to the sink.

"He's right Wade. I read something about how you should start eating healthy now while you're young." Peter said.

"Mhm." Wade dried his hand and walked over to the table.

He sat next to Oliver, noticing he still had a half taco left in his plate. He snatched it.

"Hey, that's mine." Oliver said.

"You snooze, you lose." Wade said, laughing.

Oliver took his spoon and looked at Wade.

"What are you gonna do? Spoon feed me some-"

"Artery jab!" Oliver said and jabbed the spoon into Wade's neck.

"Ah!" Wade gasped, freezing in place.

Oliver took his taco from Wade's hand before pushing Wade off the seat.

Wade hit the floor.

"Wade!" Peter ran over to Wade. "Mr. Barnes-"

"He'll be fine after a few hours." Bucky told Peter.

"Oh gosh." Peter said, placing a hand on Wade's head.

Bucky looked at Oliver, who was happily eating his taco. He couldn't any be prouder.
