Bucky Barnes had found refuge on a small farm in Montana two years ago.

He fell in love with a young woman. Ray introduced him into a wo...

chapter seven tests
"Alright. Stay very still. The machine will be a little bit loud but just try and stay still. It only take a few seconds." Dr. Kantu spoke directly to Ray.
The young woman nodded and let out a breathe of air. She was lying on a soft pad that would bring her into the MRI machine.
Bucky was standing behind the glass, watching very carefully as Ray was moved into the machine. He was nervous, more than anything. He hoped that the doctor would be able to figure out what was going on. He had hope, though. Wakanda and their doctors were very advance. Ray would be in the best care here.
Steve stood next to Bucky, and Natasha was on his other side. Sam was there as well, all of them unwilling to be absent in her testing.
"She'll be okay." Steve reassured his friend.
Bucky nodded slowly before looking at his friend. "I know. They'll be able to figure out what's wrong with her."
Sam glanced between the two men, rolling his eyes. He had never felt anything more than friendship towards Ray, even close to a little sister. He liked her company more than most; he liked what an asshole she was.
He did not like Bucky Barnes. He felt for him; he knew that Bucky suffered more than any person had. And Sam understood that he was not the Winter Solider, he knew that very well. But it wasn't the Winter Solider that tore the Avengers apart and led to Sam living his life as a fugitive. Sam believed that it was Bucky who did that.
"You weren't the one with her the past few weeks." Sam grunted to himself before thinking.
Bucky turned back to look at him. "Excuse me?"
"I said you weren't the one with her the past few weeks, the past month, hell, even the past year." Sam said with more confidence.
Natasha and Steve shared a look. "Guys, cool it. Now is not the time." She said quietly and strictly.
"No, now is the perfect time." Bucky turned fully and stood in front of Sam. "If you have something to say then say it."
Sam only laughed bitterly. "Oh I don't have anything to say."
"Good. Keep it that way." Bucky then turned back to the observation glass.
The Falcon rolled his eyes. "I just think it's funny that now that she's sick you care. Where was this the past few months? When we were living on the run."
