A Stucky Story

The Asset and Steve part 6

Bucky was surprisingly in a good mood when he woke up. He helped Steve cook eggs by stirring and dryed the plastic dishes. Steve would be happy if he didn't notice the occasional twitching from Bucky. It was only on his right side. It would start his leg and travel up to the face. It concerned Steve but didn't bother Bucky, not one bit.

When breakfast was over, Bucky was flipping through his books about farm animals and Steve was flipping through channels. Everything was fine. Then the channel landed on a military network. That was the exact moment things took a turn for worse.

In the five seconds that the channel was on, a bomb went off and gun fire. Bucky lifted his head and became frozen, Steve immediately turned off the TV.

"Bucky, we're okay." Bucky didn't move. Steve feared that he just triggered the soldier. His shield was sitting by the door and his phone was sitting on the kitchen counter. Steve got up slowly and faced Bucky. He was met with dead eyes.

The winter soldier was staring at him. Steve didn't want to fight Bucky, but the soldier was going to.

"Bucky, come back to daddy's voice. We're okay. It was just the TV." No response. The soldier's metal arm tensed, then he stood up. Steve slowly backed up. The soldier swung at Steve. Steve ducked and got his phone.

"Nat, I need help." He said pushing the soldier away.

"Seizure?"

"The soldier." Steve heard her cuss and hung up. He assumed she was on her way, till then he was dealing the murderous soldier.

"Bucky please."

"The mission." The soldier swung at him again and this time it made contact with his face. Steve knew the soldier wasn't as strong as he used be like at the Potomac. But he still had enough strength to put Steve in the hospital. The soldier kicked and punched at Steve, the kick sent Steve into the wall. Steve shook it off and grabbed the soldier's arm.

"Come on baby, please." Then Nat came in. The soldier stared then growled. Nat threw a spider bite at his metal arm. The soldier went down and tried to get the thing off. Steve hit him in the back of the head. The soldier stopped for a moment.

"Bucky?" The soldier looked up with tears in his eyes.

"Daddy." Steve sighed in relief and hugged him. He was hoping to never encounter the soldier now they were both shaken up.

"What triggered him?" Asked Nat.

"I was flipping through the channels and it got to the military network, he heard a bomb and gun shots and it was over." Nat nodded and looked at Steve's bruises and the dents in the wall. If Bucky was that strong now, when he regained all the muscle back, they were going to need stronger methods of settling him down. Nat took off the spider bite and stroked his head.

They sat in silence for a while. Bucky calmed down from his ordeal and fell asleep on the floor. Nat and Steve talked for a while. Then Nat's phone rang.

"It's Bruce. You're on speaker Bruce."

"Okay, so I received some interesting brain wave activity. The activity is weird. Did he have a seizure?"

"No, the soldier made an appearance."

"That explains why. So this is the soldiers brain activity. Okay, now that I know; I can figure something out. Until then, I was able to create an anticonvulsant strong enough for Bucky's metabolism to handle. I was also able to put some aspirin in it since his headaches do lead to seizures. I'll send over enough for two weeks to see if there is a positive impact, if there is none we'll try something different."
