————————-

It had been months since the winter soldier had made himself known to the world. He was tired, hungry and alone, and in desperate need of help.

Back before hydras control, bucky had been a secret nerd. He loved cars and old radios that he would try to fix when he had Brocken them. He loved to play with the parts, he loved to figure out how things worked. And from a young age, he wanted nothing more than to be a mechanic.

Unfortunately for him, he grew up in a poor family n a poor area. No matter how much he wanted to learn more about engineering and machanics, he could never afford to go to a good school. So, when he was just 15, he knew his dream of becoming an engineer withered and died. He would still dream of going to a good school, and getting his dream job, but he knew it was just a dream.

Then there was the war. He was only 21 (?) when he enlisted to join the army. If he couldnt help fix things for people, then he would try to keep people safe in their own country, it was the least he could do. And any way, he needed to keep steve safe. Steve was his best friend an he had no purpose without him.

So he joined the army, then he went out on the field, completed his training, fought in the battles, got captured by hydra, was experimented on, was saved by steve ? He was a lot taller, went with him to get everyone else back, nearly died, nearly died again, and he fell from a train. And then he lost steve.

The memory's flooded his Brian bringing tears to his eyes. He stood on the side of a busy road, looking around. He didn't recognise anything. It was like he was in a different world - but he was, and he was all alone.

He remembered being with steve after he had the serum. He remembered Howard stark. The genius who helped them both before going to war. He remembered how good he was with technology, how intelligent h was. He was everything he had hoped to becom when he was a Child.

He needed to find Howard. Maybe he could help him.

Bucky returned to his small apartment. He picked up another coast, and pulled on his gloves. Before leaving he checked that there as no one following him, and then walked out quickly, pulling up his hood to shield his face.

He was walking down the road when he noticed something. He picked up a newspaper from the bin and looked at the i tire on the front.

Howard?

He needed help, and something told him the man could help him.

He was a spy, an assassin. In no time at all he managed to hack into the security system in the tower, just as he had watched Howard do it during the war days, and cautiously went inside. He took the stairs up to the living quarters and sat down on the chair by the dinning table. He at and he waited.

It was 3am when tony woke. Another nightmare. He couldn't keep them at bay recently, and he couldn't help the horrible feeling that something was wrong this morning. He threw back the covers, his body sweaty from the night terrors. He ran a hand threw his hair, untangling a few knots which were present and threw on a pair of shorts an a tank top. He opened his bedroom door and made his way into the kitchen.

When he got there he didn't see the spy straight away. He was straight or the fringe and took out a cold bottle of water. He unscrewed the lid and drank half of it in one go, and then turned around to spot the assassin.

His eyes locked with his, and they were both silent.

"How did you get in here?" Tony asked, his eyes narrowing, his fingers brushed against the emergency button which would wake the rest of the team if he tried anything.

" i. .. " he thought about what he was going to say, he thought he would be Howard. It wasn't. Could he still help him.

" i was looking for Howard"

"Howard?" Tony said, feeling less threatened by the man, " Howard stark?"

" yes" bucky replied eagerly, " he was a friend, during the. . .. war."

" oh, " so this man knew Howard. He wasn't old enough. Well, he didn't look old enough. The war? He was alive during the war? The only other person who knew Howard during the war was. . .

"Steve?" Tony whispered. " do you know steve rogers."

Bucky's face lit up in recognition, and he nodded enthusiastically.

" you must be bucky, " he said and smiled at the man. Again, bucky nodded.

" what brings you here? Apart from Howard.."

Bucky moved his metal arm forward and removes the glove. He looked down slyly under Tony's gaze and reply's quietly,

" i don't know how to fix it myself."

At these word tony smiles and slowly moves forward, "can i have a look?" He asks

Bucky jut nods and removed his coat to slow tony to have aa better look.

" I'm tony by the way, tony stark. Howard was my father."

Bucky smiled but kept his eyes down. Tony sat down next to him and ran his fingers up the metal.

"It's nice to know Howard had a son. He was a very intelligent man."

" yeah, he was alright." Tony replies and kept his eyes on Bucky's arm.

" pay, well if an fix it, or i can make you a new one." Toy said looking up at the man.

" y you can do that?" Tony nodded

" i erm, I oils want to be a burden." Bucky replied, " just fix it and ill leave you alone."

" nonsense! Ill make you a new one. Come Down to the lab and ill get JARVIS to start the modelling. " he spoke enthusiastically about the new project and basically piled Bucky down to his lab at 3 am.

" a are you sure you want it do it now?" Bucky asked, " i can go and come back ..... or"

" na, i cant sleep anyway and its something to do. " he replied and wiped his coffee.

"Want one?"

" oh, no than you"

- ——-

In a matter of hours Bucky was admiring his new arm in the mirror.

"Wow, " he said astonished at ho perfect it was and how quickly it was designed build and attached.

" do you like it?" Tony asked nervously.

" do i like it?" Bucky exclaimed like it was the stupidest question ever, tony looked down and figured nervously,

" i i can do another if you want. .. "

" are you serious? This is . . . This is amazing!" Bucky laughed and hugged tony.

" thank you so much!"

" you welcome Bucky, now I want to ask you something, and please do think its weird."

"What?"

" how do you feel about staying here, in the tower. We have a spare room which has your name on it. And Steve's here too. "

Bucky looked at him in shock. How was Howard stark's son so amazing.

" i don't know what to say, "

"How about yes?"

" yes!"

They both smiled at each other, and Bucky embraced him in another hug,

"Your so much better than Howard," He whispered in his ear. Tony melted into the hug and in that moment, tony stark fell in love.
