Winter Wolf *Bucky Barnes Fanfic*

12:Different View

Everyone was silent as they stared at the unconscious woman that was once a dog. No one knew what to say or do. Bruce the first one to move, checking her pulse by putting two fingers on her neck. Nodding his head when he felt it pulsing. Pulling the heated blanket tight around her shoulders to keep her warm.

Bucky stood from the floor, walking to a seat only to sit down and put his head in his hands. He couldn't think. He could feel the emotions running through him, but his head was empty. Steve sat down next to him, putting a hand on Bucky's shoulder to comfort both himself and Bucky.

Clint had gone back to pilot the quinjet, Pietro had gone up to talk with him. Natasha was sitting next to Wanda who had woken up. Both of them talking about getting clothes for Lupo with her new human body. Both of the women taking glances at the woman.

Clint announced that they would be landing in a few minutes. Tony and Bruce got the table Lupo was laying on, ready to go to the lab so they can do what they needed to help her. Once they landed, Bruce wheeled the unconscious woman to the lab. Bucky, Steve, Tony, and Clint followed. Pietro being forced to go with Wanda and Natasha to help get everything Lupo would need.

He wouldn't mind helping Lupo. At all. But, it was stuff for girls. He had no idea what a woman would need. But, he would at least carry the bags.

Before the three left, Bruce asked Natasha and Wanda to get the essential clothes and put them on Lupo before she woke up. Just to make her more comfortable then waking up naked under a blanket. It would be scary enough to wake up to find you're human after everything Hydra did. Natasha had Wanda take photo's of any injuries as they clothed her. A sports bra, underwear, sweats and a sweatshirt with a tank top underneath. When they were done, they wrapped her back up in the heated blanket. Wanda handed the camera to Tony so he could upload her injuries while Bruce hooked her up to more medical equipment.

Bucky stayed in the background. Turning when they dressed Lupo, but turned back around when Natasha and Wanda walked out to go shopping. Steve walked up behind him, a long sigh leaving him.

"You okay Buck? I know this...well...horrible. But she has us. You. You are one person she will be looking for when she wakes up.", Steve had no idea what to say to his best friend. But, he thought what he came with sounded good.

Bucky's shoulders slumped. "I just can't help but keep wondering if it would be better if I never found her. This wouldn't have happ....", Bucky didn't get to finish his sentence when he felt an empty water bottle hit the back of his head.

He didn't have to wait long for the person who threw it to start talking.

"That dog...woman...whatever, has had the best couple months of her life because of you. She found a family that is better than any family she could had gotten. She could have been put down by now if she stayed in the shelter. Yes she will be scared out of her mind, but she will need you to help her.", Clint had his arms crossed, a glare sent towards Bucky.

Clint knew that no one could hold a candle to Bucky when it came to Lupo. Steve was a close second, but would never pass Bucky.

The silence was interrupted by Steve. He needed to tell Bucky something that Wanda had told him. It would make every negative thing Bucky was thinking of, go away.

"More than a month ago, Wanda told me that Lupo thought that you were sent to pick up from her old family. That they picked you specifically to adopt her. Lupo will only want one person and that's you Buck. Lupo could never regret you adopting her.", Steve knew that what he said hit Bucky hard.

Bucky took in what Steve had said and everything he was thinking flew out the window. He walked into the room that Lupo was in and sat down in the chair closest to her. Gently and slowly, took her right hand in both of his. Listening to the slow beeping of the machines.
