A Stucky Story

The Asset and The God of Mischief 2

Putting Bucky to sleep last night had been harder than what it needed to be. Steve tried everything. Warm milk, warm blanket, a lullaby and a story. Nothing worked. Steve texted Bruce to send him something so that he could sleep. He sent up a sleep aid and told him to dip his paci in the sleep aid. Miraculously, it worked. But now Steve had to find out what got him so restless.

This had to be Loki. Bucky's been with him more than enough times for him to fall under his illusions. Making him say that he was hurt. Loki was playing at something and he needed to figure it out before Loki figured out how to trigger the soldier.

Steve woke up before Bucky the next morning and had Rumlow sleep with him until he woke up. Steve went downstairs where most of the Avengers were already at Loki's new cell. A two way glass cell, not much better than the other one, but it still could keep the Hulk if it needed to.

"Anything?" Asked Steve.

"He's just been asking to see Bucky." Said Nat.

"Why?"

"You tell me. Why does Loki have his unicorn?" Steve didn't even notice that Loki had the unicorn. And Bucky didn't ask for it last night. What was going on?

"Let me talk to him." Said Steve. Nat buzzed the door open, Steve went in and stood across from Loki. Loki smiled.

"Where is your little one?"

"Sleeping. Why do you have his unicorn?"

"A fair question. He gave it to me."

"Why?"

"I will only speak to him."

"What have you done to Bucky?"

"As I told you Captain, that man is under no illusion of mine. Whatever he's see must be trick of his own twisted little mind. I know more about that man than what you think. And you're probably going to do the same thing you did with Dr. Banner. Keep him locked away, so that I don't find what makes him tick. But rest assured Captain, I know everything." Said Loki. Steve desperately tried to restrain himself, but ended up hitting the padded wall, leaving a dent. Steve left the room and tried to calm down.

"Rogers, you alright?" Asked Tony.

"I don't know what he's done to Bucky, but he keeps trying to get down here to Loki since he met him. But if Loki know Bucky has trigger words, I don't want him to stay here."

"We still need you here." Said Tony.

"And I will be. Bucky's going to stay with Rumlow until we figure this out. We can't risk Loki triggering him." Steve ran upstairs. Bringing Bucky here was probably the dumbest decision he has ever thought of. Well, Bucky could name a few others. But still, seeing the destruction he got with Clint, there's no telling what he would do if he got to Bucky.

Once he got upstairs, Bucky was eating and Rumlow was watching football.

"Everything alright?"

"I need you to keep Bucky until we get all this sorted out. Loki might know how to trigger the soldier and we don't need the soldier and a God running around here."

"Alright. You want me to keep him at my apartment?"

"Yes, go pack his clothes." Rumlow got up and went in the bedroom. Steve sat by Bucky and rubbed his shoulder.

"Hey, you're going to go stay with papa for a while."

"No."

"Bucky, I promise I will come see you every night before you go to sleep. It's just not safe that you stay here anymore." Rumlow came back with his bag. Bucky started to cry and chew on his arm, now wasn't the time for a tantrum but Bucky doesn't care.
