Winter Soldier

|\/ ~ Running Away

When we finally made it out of the corridor. At the start of the woods. I was breathing heavily. I looked back at the place we came from and what I saw made tears fill my eyes.

"My house." I sobbed and fell back into Bucky's arms. He held me, but hid us both behind a tree. From there we looked at the house.

"Shh. It's gonna be fine." He said his voice soothing. It didn't help anything. It wasn't going to be fine. My family had lived in that house for generations. I had promised my dad when he died that I would take care of it to my own kids.

The tears were streaming down my cheeks and I cried into Bucky's shoulder. I actually hated to cry infront of people, but right there I couldn't help it and I didn't feel bad about it either. Bucky stroke my hair soothingly and then kissed the top of my head softly.

"We have to go Di. I can see them up there." Bucky whispered and pointed at two figures sneaking around my destroyed house. I felt horrible that it was gone, but I knew Bucky was right.

I stood up carefully and then ran off into the woods. Bucky followed straight behind me. He was really fast, even if he hadn't trained running for months he still ran beside me like it was nothing.

I looked at him, there he ran. Shirtless in pants with the metal arm with the star on. I had fallen in love with him I realized. I didn't know him that well, but while running there beside him I felt safe. I felt safe with him.

Why was a great question, but I knew I trusted him. I cared for him more than anyone else and he was the only thing I had at the moment. It seemed he cared for me too. The way he had gotten us quickly to the basement of the house and helped me to get us out. How he came to sleep beside me when he had a nightmare. It all told me that he did care, that he did like my company.

When we had run for a long while I decided to ask him what I had been waiting for. "Where are we going?" I asked while trying to hold my breath steady.

"I don't know, but I have an idea." He said not looking at me and I understood what it was. We were going to find Steve Rogers. I don't know why, but I didn't know what else we were supposed to do either.

We ran in silence for even longer, and I kind of enjoyed it. Just to be there beside him. It was really nice, and anywhere with Bucky would be fine. It was just that I knew my little 'crush' on him was kind of complicated.

Everything I had heard about SHIELD now, and Steve Rogers. I was scared what could happen. Could I really trust Bucky? Or was it all just an act. I had to think about that, but it all seemed so real. The things he said, and how he acted. It seemed just like a confused and broken man.

"We can see the city from the top of the mountain." I told Bucky. I knew we wouldn't go up there, when we could go beside, but I told him. That was the reason I wanted to bring him there. So that he'd maybe think of going back.

Bucky looked at me with a look in his eyes I didn't recognize. "So that's why you wanted me up there?" He spat at me. I stopped staring at him in shock.

"No! It's not at all what you think Buck!" I just realized how stupid it was. He would just be reminded of everything that had happened. That he had been fighting his old best friend. Everything that he had told me. All the people he had killed.

Bucky had stopped too. "If that's what you think then..." His look was of pure betreyal and then it changed to sorrow. His knees failed him and he ended up sitting on the forest ground. I sat down beside him and tried to take his hand.

"Buck, I'm sorry I didn't realize how stupid it was. I'm an idiot." I told him and Bucky turned to look at me. His eyes were a little blank.

"Stop making it worse." I frowned at his words. What was that supposed to mean?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked confused. I was trying to help and saying sorry, how was that making it worse?

"You make it worse by saying you did something stupid, that you're an idiot. 'Cause you're not. You are amazing, funny and beautiful. Not an idiot." He said and I couldn't help but smile widely.

"You think?"
