Ex-Avenger [Bucky Barnes]

imagine : being called in by shield for a mission with the old gang

I was pulling my luggage behind me as i walked through arrivals with my headphones in. I had the worst flight of my life and i was in a foul mood. Fury had called me in from the UK and whatever Fury wants he gets. I had the migraine from hell, not to mention getting next to no sleep because of all the screaming children. As i slipped my phone back in my pocket, i walked through the double doors and out into the main area. I saw my name written on a whiteboard and looked up to see Happy. I smiled softly as i approached him. "hey, good to see you again" i said to him and he smiled. "you too Miss Y/L/N" he replied and i followed him out of the airport towards his car. He put my luggage in the back and i hoped into the seat. "not to be rude but i was expecting a jet or something when they said tony was collecting me" i said jokingly as i closed the door behind me. "sorry to disappoint" Tony said and i turned around to see him and Fury sitting there. "nice to see you tony" i said smiling at him and he smiled back. "Nick" i said and he smiled as much as he could muster considering it was Fury. "i forgot about that annoying british tendency to call me Nick" he said and i chuckled. "so why am i here then?" i asked, settling into my seat as we drove off. "we need you believe it or not, this is above our skill set" Tony said and i chuckled. "what could i do that you couldn't" i asked. "reunite the avengers" Fury said and my mouth dropped. "i. . . erm i can't do that" i said stuttering. "sure you can, everybody loves you" Tony said "this is why i went home" i reminded them. "we know, but we really need you. We're in trouble" Fury said and i looked at him shocked. "what do i need to do?"

>>Half an Hour Later<<

"thank you" i said to Tony as he carried my suitcase into the lift. "everybody's already here" he said and i nodded. "it's nice to see you so well" i said to him and he smiled. "i could say the same, shakespeare in the park" he said and i gasped, before playfully slapping his arm. "does mother know you weareth her drapes!" i said poshly and we both laughed. "thor's thing not mine!" i said holding my hands up and he nodded. "i'm glad to have you back kiddo" he said and i smiled. "you know i'm almost 21 right?" i said and he nodded. "unfortunately you are a constant reminder we're all getting old" he said and i chuckled. Soon enough the lift opened and we both stepped out. "i'll show you to you're room then you can join us all in the main room" Tony said and i nodded, following him down the hallway. "here we go, enjoy" he said before walking off. I smiled and opened the door before dragging my cases inside. There was a white, pristine double bed in the middle of the room, followed by a chest of draws, a mirror, an en suit and large glass windows that overlooked the country side with a window seat. I smiled as i looked around the room in awe. I walked over to the chest of draws to see a note and a tray on top.

Y/N,
   I remember how much you love these, i've been saving them for when you finally returned home.
With a slightly hint of love but plenty of admiration,
Tony and Pepper x

I smiled fondly down at the note and saw a packet of (favourite biscuits) on the tray along with a big tub fancy (tea/coffee) with a red ribbon wrapped around it. I smiled softly as i picked up the jar to look closer when the wall behind the dresser disappears and a box came sliding out.

I stepped back in shock before reaching forward to open it slowly. Unfortunately it wasn't a puppy. It was my old suit, except it looked as if i hadn't worn it. Obviously Tony had made me a new one with no doubt many technical advantages. I smiled softly as i traced my fingers over the material.
I snapped out of my trance before grabbing a jumper out of my suitcase and heading down to the main room.

I heard loud conversations and bickering, no change there. I walked through the entrance to see everybody sitting around on sofa's with alcohol. "the late party guest had arrived" i said and everybody turned to look at me. "Y/N" Natasha said breathlessly as she ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me tightly. "i can't believe you're here!" she said and i chuckled. "it's good to see you too Nat" i said as she stepped back. Clint came over and i gave him a brief hug because i was swept off my feet by Thor. "it's so good to see you Lady Y/N!" he said and i laughed. "oh i've miss you too!" i said smiling as he set me back down on the ground. I looked over to see Steve and Bucky standing next to each other. "Steve?" i questioned him, worrying what i'd done to piss him off and earn all these glares. "where are my shortbread biscuits?!" he said as he rushed towards me and hugged me tightly. "that's all you use me for?! english biscuits!?" i said, pretending i was hurt. "but they're so good, that's all you kept giving me when i visited-" he trailed off as i inhaled. "STEVE of all people visited you???" Tony said slightly angrily, but he was joking. "listen, England was on my bucket list of places to go, so me and Buck-" Steve started and everyone groaned "and BUCKY?!" Tony said and i couldn't help but chuckle. "they kinda forced me to accommodate them" i said and they all started chuckling. Once everyone had gone back to their conversations, i walked over to the kitchen to get myself a drink. "it's good to see you again" i looked to my left and saw bucky standing there. "it's good to see you too" i said as he placed his arm around my shoulder. "so you didn't tell Steve?" i muttered softly. "nope" he said lowly. Bucky has returned to the UK for another small get away, lying to everybody saying he was going to visit Romania because he'd always wanted to go there. During that time, me and Bucky had bonded and connected. He was extremely misunderstood and i was working in encouraging him to be his old self again. We had a few moments which were tense where we shouted at each other, but we soon resolved it and i think it helped him. During his stay, i found myself getting fond and attached to him. Over time it had faded but being back here brought it all back. "sometimes i miss our little squabbles and shopping trips" he said and i chuckled. "i don't" i said bluntly before we both laughed. "of course i do, i missed you. The flats a bit lonely and emptier" i said sadly. "i can always come back, remember you were the one who told me to come back to the US to 'sort my life out' as you said" he said quoting me and i chuckled softly. "well i do approve of the new hair" i said smirking and he chuckled. "women these days, it's all about the hair" he started saying and i laughed. "oh shut up! you're so full of yourself" i said and he laughed. I turned back to look at him, meeting his gaze. it was a comfortable silence and it felt nice to be around him again. Before i knew what was happening, he'd placed his hand on my jawline before tilting my head up so he could meet his lips with mine. He was soft and gentle, better than what i'd imagined. I placed my hand on the back of his neck as i deepened the kiss. After resisting the urge through out his entire stay felt justified now. "that was well worth the wait" Bucky mumbled as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I raised my eyebrow at him confused and he scoffed. "don't tell me you were oblivious to the sexual tension building in your flat" he said and i shook my head. "of course i wasn't, took all of my willpower to be the angelic child i am" i said sarcastically and he chuckled. He pecked my lips once more before grabbing his beer off the side and walking out the kitchen back into the main room. I sighed as i tried to gain my composure. Everything i'd been dreaming off for the past couple of months had come true. I'd been reunited with some of my closest friends and the people i considered family. Me and Buck were in a mutual place of understand how we felt and honestly i was excited to see what the future hold. More to the point however, i was excited to see how long it would take him before he'd start sneaking into my room late at night.
