Bucky's PoV
⋆ ☽ ⋆

I sank to the ground releasing a vile, scratching, grieving, angry scream.

I'd let Percy be stolen from me...she was now brainwashed. Stolen by the very man she would have nightmares about-god knows what he would do to her and use her for. I'd promised her that I'd never let them take her again, that she'd never have to be what she was ever again and I'd failed her.

The worst part about watching as Percy was taken from me was that only then was it I realised how much I was utterly, totally and irrevocably in love with that woman.

It was only when I saw her eyes turn a darker shade of absence that I realise how much I adored her green orbes. It was only when I saw that man caress her cheek that I realised that I wanted to be the one that got to have the pleasure of caressing her.

"Barnes!" Natasha yanked me from the ground staring me in the face unwaveringly.

"we're going to find her but right now you need to get yourself together! Percy needs you" Natasha urged with widened eyes.

"Buck..." Steve voiced, his expression tell-tale.

"I'm sorry" his voice cracked.

Wanda was stunned with puffy eyes fresh from crying, Clint looked baffled as he made the uncomfortable phone call to Tony, Sam comforted a very angry Pietro who was on the floor due to his injury which the adrenaline and rage wasn't quite letting him feel the full effects of yet.

Clint returned from the phone call with a sad look. The whole team seemed to be crumbling at the loss of Percy, even the usually composed Natasha was looking frazzled and irritated.

"Tony wants us back at the compound, he's drawing up plans as we speak" Clint said shoving his phone back into his pocket.

I rubbed my eyes furiously before cracking my neck. We all piled onto the craft, Nat flying us at extraordinary speed.

Even with the speed it was take a few hours till we got back which just gave me more time to wallow in my failure. I'd failed the woman I loved. As I sat sulking I felt someone sit next to me, I thought it would be Steve but as I glanced up it was Sam instead. His hands were clasped and his face serious.

"I know I give you a lotta crap Barnes but...I know Percy means a lot to you" he confessed.

"I'm in love with her" I corrected, it felt weirdly good to say it out loud, like it was something I was proud of.
