Sheilded (Steve x reader)

06.

By lunch time you looked considerably better, dressed in a tight, short sun dress. Tony grapped your arm, as you walked past him. "Three things," he said. "You have to assess Bucky today I've dropped the papers you have to fill out on your area in the computer." You nodded.

"Two, Fury wants you do a mission tomorrow night. I'm not sure who with yet." Again you nodded. "And three, pull your damn skirt down." He said swatting at you head. You giggled.

"Okay old man!" You said running away. He tried calling after you but you didnt listen. You skidded into the gym in search of Bucky. The sick feeling that meant you'd have to talk to him was back but you were trying desperately hard to ignore it.

You saw him with Steve punching in the corner. Pulling out your phone you accessed the files Fury wanted filled out. Skimming through the questions you walked over to the boys. "Hey Y/N!" Steve said pausing to wave.

You waved back. "I've come to assess James." You said, forcing your eyes to flick to him.

"Oh do you want me to go?" You shook your head.

"I might need your help to do some strength tests anyway." Steve nodded. You sat down on a bench by the side of the punch bags. Steve was slightly red as he looked at your dress. Bucky noticed and muttered something to him. Steve coughed and looked away.

"What's this assessment then?" Bucky asked folding his arms.

"Basically Fury has to check that your not a danger to yourself or us. So first question, and dont bother lying I can sense that. Do you feel the erdge to kill or hurt anyone in the tower, if so who?"

"No." You raised your eyes. "I don't." He snarled. You patted the seat next to you nodding. He sat down your shoulders just brushing, that was enough to let you in. You searched through his head, quickly looking for the answers to most of the mental questions.

"What the hell?" Bucky said shaking your shoulders. "Her eyes have gone completely white!" He said looking at Steve.

"She's in your head. You shouldn't have lied to her." Bucky pulled away. But it did matter, you were in now. He slammed his fist into the wall. You came back round.

"So you want to kill Tony because your jealous of me and him." You said with a very forced smile. "Question two, are you happy here? Answer no because you feel guilty about what you did to me, and feel like everyone is backing me up and you'll never get another chance." Bucky bit his lip.

"Question three any positives. You love Steve and your glad you have him back." You typed the answers without even looking up. "Last mental question had the winter soldier made an appearance. Answer no." You said shortly. You stood up.

"Using just your metal arm overpower Steve. Steve dont hold back we need to assess how strong he is." You said keeping your voice blank and emotionless. But your heart was racing. When you were in his head you'd seen things, how bad he truly felt, and that the only way he'd been controlling the winter soldier was because he wanted your approval, and a second chance.

He'd changed, but you were still so broken by what he'd done. You didnt know what to do. After ten minutes of batting backwards and forwards, you told them to stop. "Equal strength." You put down. "Thank you." You paused as you went to walk away.

You chewed the inside of your mouth. "Happy anniversary Bucky." You said before walking briskly away. Steve frowned, but to Bucky those three words meant the world. For one you called him Bucky which was a huge improvement for you. Second, it was his and your moms anniversary and the fact you wished him a good one meant you'd almost forgiven him for her death. Maybe, he thought, you'd seen something inside his head.

Either way he was glad, that maybe he had some chance.

"Y/N, wear this one!" Nat said handing you a red dress, it had a nearly fully open front, showing a lot of cleavage. Cross string holding it together. It was short and the fabric ruffled. You rolled your eyes but slipped it on.

You'd been eighteen when Nat had first brought you here. It was a show, where women danced for the crowd. Nat had got into for work, a lot of criminals came here and would talk to the prettiest girls afterwards. But now she did it mostly for fun, dragging you with her.

She was wearing a black dress was a long slit up the side, stopping just below her breast.

Bucky dragged Steve into the club. "Buck what are we even doing here?" Steve said crossing his arms.

"I heard her and the red head talking, their dancing here tonight. I'd like to see my daughter doing something we enjoyed when we were younger." Steve frowned.

"Bucky something tells me this isnt that kind of dancing." Before they could debate it any further you, Nat and a few other girls walked out onto the stage. Opps I did it again by Britney Spears came over the loud speakers.

You started dancing, your hips and hands moving in perfect sync. Nat flashed a grin at you. You just rolled your eyes, when she didnt stop you raised your eye brows. She jerked her head to the back of the crowd. Still dancing you followed her gaze, your mouth fell open as you saw Steve and Bucky.

"Holy shit." You breathed. You finished the song and ran back stage with Nat. "What the hell are they doing here!" You said tugging at your hair.

"Well Steve being here is a good thing, you looked unresistable." Nat said with a wink. You just glared at her. "But Bucky is a little weird. Cause he's your biological father and all that, but even Tony being here wouldnt be as weird. Cause he would definitely not be looking at you and thinking your hot whereas he doesnt have that parental.." she trailed off at your face.

"Focus?" You said leaning against the wall.

"Sorry." She mumbled. "Well go out and talk to them."

"What about you?" You asked not wanting to leave her alone here.

"Sam should be here somewhere. I'll come back with him if it settles your mind." You nodded giving her a quick hug. You dashed out into the crowd. You pushed past the people cat calling you.

"This is the last time I do this." You muttered to yourself. You broke through the crowd and stopped by Steve and Bucky. "What are you two doing here?" You asked trying to keep your voice level.

"Bucky made a mistake." Steve said.

"Clearly!" You snapped. "This is weird." You said turning away from Bucky who was staring shocked at the floor. You focused on Steve instead.

"You look great though." He said with a blush. You managed a smile.

"Thank you. This is the last time I'm going this for Nat. I dont get what she gets from it anymore."

"Anymore?" Bucky said finding his voice.

"We used to come on shield missions." You explained. "There was a lot of guys that unravelled when a women is in a tight dress spoke to them, told us everything." You said with a laugh. Bucky just looked away again. Steve took your hand.

"Should we go?" You nodded.

"Maybe because I'm not doing this, I could give someone a personal show." You muttered to Steve. He flushed again.

"I..I.. I'd like that." He stuttered. You smirked. Outside was cold, Steve gave you his jacket, wrapping his arm around your shoulders. Bucky walked behind you. Slowly the realization that he didnt know you at all, dawned on him. Scaring him just as much as almost losing you had.

A/N: sorry Bucky is so ....idk evil? He does get better I promise!
