Ch. 10

"Freaking fuck" shuri exclaimed.

Liana's eyes widened as Bucky stood up with a lightning speed, before she could react he grabbed her and pinned her to the wall.

"Call steve" she mouthed shuri, who stood there motionless with a hanging mouth "go" Liana yelled breathlessly.

"Who are you" Bucky growled

"I-I am here to help" Liana chocked, his grip tightening on her neck.

Bucky scoffed "you are working for Hydra, aren't you. They thought they could trick me by bringing a new fa-" Liana kicked his leg with all the strength she could muster, Bucky who was still weak from his months in cryostasis bend letting go of her and groaned in pain.

Taking advantage of this Liana ran for the door and was stopped when Bucky grabbed her waist she started struggling causing both of them to fall

"you" Bucky groaned breathing heavily on top of her "I " Liana opened her mouth.

"Bucky let go of her" came Steve's stern voice.

Hearing Steve's voice Bucky eyes widened as he realized that he did overreact and attacked a wrong person, he shamefully stood up, Natasha helped Liana as well.

Liana gripped her hand tightly as she was feeling really dizzy from her exhilarating adventure.

"Go back to your rooms" steve said looking around
"and Liana" he walked to her "i don't have words to thank you enough" Liana gave him a weak smile "now get some rest kid" he said patting her cheek.

Last thing liana saw before she left the lab was that Bucky Barnes was eyeing her curiously, he looked away when there eyes met though.

Breakfast was served late for the guests and the Princess of wakanda as a result of their late night adventures.

Liana was partially sleeping on the table over her breakfast, she opened a eye when the chair beside her moved, she was off her chair in an instant upon seeing the person.

Shuri started laughing at her reaction while Steve looked worried and Bucky fixed his eyes on the table, ashamed.

She sat beside Tchalla "I was thinking if you could drop me to MIT today" she asked Natasha taking a bite of her omelette.

A series of what and why followed her question, she sighed " I have no reason to stay, I mean he's awake and healthy" she pointed her fork at Bucky while looking at everyone else "I can't risk Uncle Tony knowing that I lied to him"

" it was the right thing to do" Natasha said softly, Liana nodded.

"It's shuri's birthday day after tomorrow, please stay till then" came Tchalla's comforting voice.

"Yes please" shuri exclaimed taking her hands, Liana seemed reluctant.

Liana took a exasperated breath "ok but if you haven't noticed I don't really have my clothes and I'm tired of borrowing from Steve and Natasha" she motioned at the very large t-shirt and black leather pants she was wearing.

"You can always borrow some of mine" shuri answered.

"You're too skinny" Liana observed.

Natasha put her cup on table loudly cutting their conversation in between "It's decided then, I'm taking Liana to get clothes and other things she would need and after Princess shuri's birthday I'll drop her at MIT"

After breakfast Liana was walking to her room when she was stopped by Bucky Barnes, she was scared a little and looked around for ways to escape, Bucky too seemed quite hesitant

" I never really apologized for my obnoxious behavior last night" he looked in her eyes, Liana shivered under his intense gaze and failed at her feeble attempt to smile.

'Get a grip Liana' she told herself " it was  quite unexpected to me you know I hoped for a simple thank you" she regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth.

Bucky smiled after a second or so making her breathe again "well thank you then" he said.

He took a step towards her, her wide eyes followed his hands as he brushed her hair away from her neck, this Time his touch was soft and comforting but at the same time it was burning and searing her soul she resisted the urge to close her eyes and lean into him.

his eyes hardened when he saw the blue-purple bruises that had formed there and abruptly he removed his hand.

"I'm extremely sorry" he muttered in a  before leaving her there extremely confused.
