Shooting my Shot (Bucky One-shots)

Phoenix

Summary: you were paired with Bucky during your time at Hydra. He and the team finds you after you escape. You soon find a place with the Avengers, but still suffer from nightmares. Bucky knows how to calm you down. You're his Phoenix, and he takes that literally

Warnings: language, the whole second half is pretty much a very intense sexy scene so yeah I'd read at your own risk it's extremely mature and steamy. It's like 50 Shades of Grey so beware

Bucky sat in his apartment. He'd been on the run for just about two years now. Two years since he left Hydra and two years since he rescued Steve. His memories came back little by little. They were neatly categorized in his notebooks, which were stored in his backpack under the floorboards.

He tried so hard to remember what they put him through. He remembered his missions, but there was something missing. Something he couldn't remember.

He was back in the hands of Hydra. His handlers led him through the halls. He listened to them as they talked to him.

"We were thinking of giving you a partner. You've done well on your missions, but things could be sped along if you worked with someone. However, we are going to let you choose. You will also be the one to train who you pick."

He nodded and said nothing. They let him wander and peer into each of the cells. Most of the people were male, but there were some females too.

One cell appeared to be empty. He peered into it for longer than he did the others.

Someone walked up behind him. "She's an interesting one. She can control fire and smoke. Her abilities come in handy and when you need to get rid of evidence or make an escape."

He nodded slowly. "What is she called?"

"Asset 139. Unless you have a better name for her, soldier."

He stared into the cell. A pair of green eyes stared back, unblinking.

"Phoenix."

Bucky woke with a start. His phoenix, that's who he was forgetting. He trained her.

She was trained to respond to only him. She moved with such stealth and grace that he didn't even notice she was there most times. The Phoenix could use her smoke and the pair of them would vanish without a trace. She could light a building up in flames in a matter of seconds.

He wondered what happened to her.

She showed up in his memories more often over the next few days. Was she supposed to be there?

What if they did something to his Phoenix?

He had to find her.

The cuffs on your wrists stopped you from using your abilities. You could easily create fire hot enough to melt them and burn through the door on your cell. You could free yourself, if it weren't for these stupid cuffs.

It must've been days since you were abandoned. No one came pounding on your door to wake you up. No one came to remove your chains. No one was around to hurt you.

They left you to die from dehydration. After every successful mission you accomplished for them, this was how they repay you? Locking you in a cell, burying your abilities, and leaving you to die?

You laughed. You refused to die like this. You'd be outside watching everything burn when they came back. When they tried to grab you, you'd burn them too. Then you'd vanish into smoke exactly how they taught you.
