A Stucky Story

The Asset and The Mistake Part 1

Steve knew he was getting a mission soon, but he wasn't expecting it to be so soon and so fast. One minute, he was getting Bucky ready for a nap, then he got an alert from Nat saying that the target they were tracking was moving faster than expected and they needed to go now before they took over a region in China or else thousands of citizens were going to die. And they had to be in the air less than thirty minutes.

Nat told him that everyone was going on this mission, expect Rumlow. Great. Steve quickly packed enough clothes and diapers for at least three days. He packed two bags of dog food and made sure he packed long sleeve shirts for Harley in case it got too cold or snowed.

"Bucky, I need you to stay awake." Bucky was struggling to stay awake. Steve hated to do that, but if Bucky went to sleep and woke up to him being gone, he would have a fit. But if he saw him leave, he would still be upset but not as much.

Steve did a triple check on everything. Clothes, paci, blankets, tablet and tablet charger and pills were in Bucky's bag. Harley's food and bed was in the car.

"Okay, get the toys you want to bring with you." Bucky got Lamby, Star, Fin, Captain America bear and the toy car. Steve grabbed Bucky's and Harley's harnesses and brought them to the car and left.

Once they arrived to the tower, Bucky was getting upset that he couldn't nap. Going up to the main level, Bucky started having a tantrum. The elevator doors open, everyone was in their gear. What through him off was Loki was here.

"Ten minutes, Cap." Said Sam.

"I know. Rumlow, can you get him to sleep?"

"Yeah." Said Rumlow.

"Everything for him is in his bag, Harley's stuff is in here. Here's a key to the apartment in case you run out of anything."

"I've watched him before, I know what to do."

"Right, why is Loki here?"

"My brother cannot be trusted by himself. He has been acting weird lately. I'm hoping some time away from Asgard will clear his head." Said Thor.

"I don't need a sitter." Said Loki.

"Okay, but if I find out you've hurt him, we'll have problems." Said Steve.

"Whatever." Steve wanted to say something, but there was a two year old currently going through a tantrum and he needed to leave in five minutes.

"Hey, hey look at me." Said Steve. Bucky glared at him. "I have a mission and I don't know how long I'll be gone. Papa is going to watch you." Bucky started to cry harder.

"Steve, let's go." Said Nat.

"I love you. Behave. I'll call when I can." Steve kissed his head then left with the Avengers. Bucky stared at the elevator then looked at Rumlow and Loki.

"Okay, you need to take a nap before we do anything else. Come on." Said Rumlow. Bucky didn't fight with him, he was exhausted. The tantrum took what little energy he had. Bucky quickly fell asleep in the bedroom, while Rumlow figured out what to do with Loki.

Watching a two year old man child was a lot, now watching a God on top of that? Rumlow had his work cut out for him and he wasn't even getting paid for it.

"How long is Bucky usually asleep?" Asked Loki.

"An hour. Two if he's exhausted. Might get lucky if he gets two hours in." Rumlow sat on the couch while Loki sat in a chair. He didn't really want to be here, but it was nice to spend a few days with Bucky.

Bucky only managed to get an hour and thirty minutes of sleep in. It was enough, but Rumlow could tell he was acting strange around Loki. He was staring at him more and tapped his head. Rumlow didn't try to figure out what was going on, he didn't want Loki here anyway.
