A Stucky Story

The Asset and Snow Part 2

"Steve. Hey, Steve." Who was that? The awful ringing in his ears teamed with awful stomach pain made it hard for him to come back to the present. When he did, everything was still fuzzy. Then it hit him.

"BUCKY!" He shouted.

"Whoa, Steve chill. What's going on?" Asked Sam.

"Jarvis called me, Bucky had four seizures in an hour and he hasn't woken up. I have to get back him."

"Are you okay, though? That was a hard hit." Asked Nat.

"I'm fine. I need to get to him." Steve wasn't fine. Something felt wrong, but that could wait, he needed to get to his boy.

Stark Tower

When Bucky, Rumlow, Dr. Cho and Harley arrived at the tower, Bucky had his fifth seizure. A mild one, but Dr. Cho could see his body was exhausted and administered rescue medication to let him rest. Dr. Cho and her team ran MRI's and blood test. They were confused on what was causing the seizures and why they were so frequently suddenly.

Rumlow was worried to death about Bucky. The doctors spoke words about brain swelling and surgery. And possibly inducing a coma. None of those he wanted to happen, but he couldn't make that decision. If they didn't contact with Steve, any decision the doctors made would overule his. And it sounded like their option was to put him in a coma.

"What's going on with you kid?" Said Rumlow adjusting all the animals on his bed. Harley was laying on the bed with him, worried and scared.

"Agent Rumlow, I have made contact with Captain Rogers. He would like to speak with you." Said Jarvis. Rumlow sighed and stepped outside.

"Hello?"

"Is he okay? What's going on? What did she say?" Said Rogers frantically.

"Rogers, hold on. Bucky had another seizure when we got here, so she gave him rescue medication to let him rest. He hasn't woke up. They've run a bunch of test on him and I haven't heard anything. I think they're waiting for you to arrive to make the decision."

"Decision? About what?"

"They've said stuff about surgery and coma and brain swelling." Rumlow could hear Steve cursing to himself.

"If he becomes too critical then they can do surgery, but don't let them until I get back. We're just leaving Russian airspace."

"I'll do my best."

 "Please, try to keep me updated and tell Bucky I love him and I'll be with him soon." Steve hung up. Rumlow went back in the room and held Bucky's hand.

"Steve will be here soon and he loves you." Rumlow rubbed his hand and sighed. He was hoping Steve would be here before something before something bad happened.

Somewhere over the Atlantic

"I shouldn't have left him." Said Steve.

"Blaming yourself won't do anything for him or you." Said Nat.

"I know, but he's probably scared and-"

"Steve, he has Rumlow with him. Right now, him being there is best. I known your scared but you have to trust Rumlow to watch him." Steve sighed, suddenly a sharp, stabbing pain hit his chest.

"Are you alright?" Askes Nat.

"Fine, just sore from the hit."

"You're a terrible liar." She said walking away. Steve knew he had broken ribs, but this pain felt different. More extreme. He wanted to close his eyes and just pass out, but Bucky needed him. It would be another seven or eight hours before they got back to the US. Steve hoped Bucky would be okay until then.
