Stucky: New Beginnings (BOOK 1)

The Ellen Show

They all arrived at The Ellen Show and about an hour later went on stage.

"Oh I thought all the avengers were supposed to be here but this is fine." Ellen said as the Avengers took a seat.

"We are. I have no idea where Steve and Bucky, or Captain America and The Winter Solider as most know them, are." Tony said turning his head to look backstage.

"The winter soldiers here?"

"Yes." Tony answered.

Steve suddenly stumbled onto the stage face red from embarrassment of being late and well, what he and Bucky has just been doing.

"Your uh hair is like sticking up everywhere." Natasha whispered to him.

"And your shirts half undone." Clint whispered.

Steve coughed awkwardly and quickly finished buttoning his shirt.

"I um am sorry that I am um late I was uh backstage uh doing things...." Steve said his pathetic excuse and you could hear Bucky trying and failing not to laugh backstage.

"Well I see Bucky Barnes backstage. Why doesn't he come out too?" Ellen said and Steve beamed with glee. Bucky, in the other hand, stopped laughing instantly.

"That is a GREAT idea, Ellen!" Steve said jumping off the couch and going to get Bucky.

"I'm sorry wha-what? Y-you said if I came I could just stay backstage e-eating plums. You never said anything about going on tv." Bucky said as Steve pulled him onto the stage.

"I lied. I also lied about the plums." Steve said pulling him down onto the couch.

"You're a dick." Bucky said and Steve opened his mouth to responde. "We're on tv I don't think the words I think you want to say should be coming out of your mouth right now." Bucky said before Steve could get a word out.

"Why is your hair like that too? You look like you just woke up or something. I told you we were going on the show and to be ready! ZIP UP YOUR PANTS, BARNES!" Tony whisper-shouted at them.

"I don't know what's wrong with Steve but I was asleep on the couch backstage and just changed out of my pajamas." Bucky said.

"I'm sorry about them, Ellen. I think they've taken one too many blows to the head." Bruce said.

"Of course no problem at all. So, what exactly should I call you by? Your superhero names or your real names?" Ellen asked.

"Normal names are fine." Tony said.

"Okay. So, Bucky, tell us, you're Steves best friend right?"

"Well I would hope so but seeing as he's right here we can ask him can't we?" Bucky laughed turning to Steve.

"Don't look at me like I'm about to betray you. You know you're my best friend." Steve said rolling his eyes.

"So tell us, is the Captain America seeing anyone?" Ellen asked.

Before Steve could talk Bucky grinned and started talking.

"ACTUALLY-" he started.

"What are you doing?" Steve asked confused but Bucky just smiled at him.

"I think he is. I think the person he's seeing has perfect brown hair, piercing blue-grey eyes, an award winning smile. I think the person he's seeing he's known for a really long time and has killer abs." Bucky said and Steve scoffed.

"Are you just complimenting yourself?" Tony said confused.

"Aw thanks for the compliment, Stark but of course not." Bucky said with an innocent smile so no one could tell if he was lying or telling the truth.
