His Super Soldier // Bucky Barnes

Chapter 86

Maddy's body hit the water hard, she quickly started to sink.... but used ever little bit of strength she had to swim to the surface, her head poked out of the water... where she saw Bucky dragging Steve's body out of the water.

"BUCKY!" Maddy yelled, choking back the water.

Bucky quickly turned around.... and dropped Steve's body, he quickly jumped back into the water.... and started swimming to a struggling Maddy.

"Hey, it's okay.... take my hand," Bucky said, reaching out his hand.

Maddy grabbed his hand.. and pulled herself close to him.

He held tightly on to her, as they swam back to land.... Maddy crawled up towards Steve's body, and made sure he was breathing.

She sighed, when she noticed he was still breathing.

"I guess this is goodbye," Maddy breathed out holding her stomach.

Bucky looked at her with confusion.

"Oh, Thank you for saving me," Maddy smiled weakly.

Bucky nodded.

Maddy turned on her heels and started walking.... she stopped at looked at Steve, knowing Sam or Natasha would find him and take him to the hospital.

**************

Maddy opened the door to her apartment... and stumbled in, she clenched her jaw tight.... every step she took blood would pour out of her side.

She walked slowly to her room.... and opened the door, she sighed when she noticed her room was destroyed.... most likely caused by the STRIKE team.

Maddy opened her drawer and started grabbing some more clothes... and tossing them onto her bed.

She suddenly stopped when she heard the wood creak behind her.... she turned around and jumped.

"GOSH! YOU SCARED ME!" Maddy yelled.... looking at a very exhausted Bucky.

"I apologize, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.... I am the one that caused this," Bucky sighed.

"I'm fine, I'll heal up in a couple of hours," Maddy said.

"I-oh never mind," Bucky replied turning to leave. 

"NO! Wait.... what's wrong?" Maddy asked.

"I-I was wondering if you'd come with me... I figured you could help me remember the old me," Bucky shrugged.

"You don't need help remembering the old you, we don't live in the 40s anymore! Why don't we work on the new and improved Bucky?" Maddy smiled.

"I'd like that! But could you try and help me remember my memories?" Bucky questioned.

Maddy nodded.

Bucky opened his side pocket and pulled out a familiar journal... he extended out his hand and gave it back to Maddy.

"My journal! I was wondering were this went!" Maddy smiled.

"I-I'm sorry I took it.... it opened up and I saw drawings of me, I was just curious," Bucky said.

"Why don't you keep it! I can always get another one," Maddy replied.

"Really?" Bucky smiled.

"Of course!" Maddy smirked.

"We should probably get going! That's if you are coming with me..... I gotta leave the the continent, most likely Vienna," Bucky said.

"Oh okay! Well let me grab some clothes, and some extra cash," Maddy replied.

Maddy quickly grabbed her clothes and threw them into a bag.... she then walked over to her wall and removed a painting, revealing a jar full of cash and her passport.

She turned on her heel and walked out of the room.... she sighed sadly knowing this was probably the last time she'd be in this apartment.

"Okay! I'm ready!" Maddy  smiled.

Bucky gently took her bag and swung it over his shoulder... and they both left, completely disappearing off the radar.

At least for now.
