A Stucky Story

The Asset vs The Black Panther pt. 2

Steve woke up the sound of the train blowing it's horn a few times.

"Welcome to Montreal, Canada. All U.S. passengers must present valid passports when going through customs." Said the lady. Steve swore under his breath, he didn't have his and he couldn't present his ID. Bucky didn't have a passport. They would be entering Canada illegally. He had to think of something fast.

Bucky was still asleep, he thankfully slept through the night and whatever drug was in his system was most likely wearing off. But Steve was concerned that because Bucky didn't have his original medication, he was more likely to start getting sick and relapsing. He needed to get in touch with someone.

The train stopped. Steve changed Bucky then woke him up. "Good morning, we need to start moving."

"Kay." Bucky stretched. Harley did a whining yawn and jumped off the bed and stretched. Steve put his jacket on him then they left the room. Steve grabbed a few snacks and water bottles from the cart and got off the train. Customs was the only thing that was keeping them from entering Canada, so Steve did what he didn't want to do. He got Bucky's hand and pulled him into the woods. They walked for a while until the station was out of sight. Now they only needed to get past a barbed wire.

Steve crouched down and started digging. Then he was accompanied by Harley digging her own hole. Once Steve was sure the whole was big enough he crawled under then Harley crawled under. Bucky wasn't sure.

"Come on, you'll be okay." Bucky got down on the ground and crawled through the hole. "Good job." Steve brushed off the leaves and grass off them then walked down the sidewalk. They weren't noticed by anyone but Steve needed to find a convenience store. They walked for an hour before they stumbled to a little store.

"Stay right here." Steve sat Bucky on a bench outside. Bucky tilted his head then looked at someone passing by. "Do not talk to anyone, just stay here and stay quiet." Steve rubbed his head then went inside the store. Bucky whined for a second, a lot of new sights, sounds and smells. Harley walked a foot away from him to do her business. Bucky fidgeted with his fingers and chewed on his jacket strings, not as satisfying as his chewy but it'll do. Then Steve came back with a bag.

"Apple juice and yogurt for you. A small cup of food and water for you and I need to make a call." Steve handed him a small bottle of apple juice, yogurt and a spoon. He got a bowl and dumped a small amount of off brand dog food in the bowl. Harley whined but ate anyway. Steve tore open the box of a prepaid phone and sighed. He dialed a number then waited.

"Hello?"

"Sam."

"Steve, oh my God. Are you okay, man?"

"No, I'm not. How is everything over there?"

"Chaos. Since you disappeared the team is all over the place and now T'Chaka's son T'Challa is here looking for help to find Bucky. Steve, where's the kid?"

"He's with me and he's doing better. Sam, that doctor drugged him."

"We know, Natasha figured that out and we found high dosed lithium pills in his pocket. He drugged Bucky to make him act wild and he knew whatever happened you would follow him. He manipulated all of us to not like Bucky and Winter."

"And so far he's getting exactly what he wants."

"Steve, where are you? Tony will send a jet to you and keep you guys safe but-"

"No. I don't want anyone to come find us. I don't want anyone to know where we are."

"Steve, think rationally for a minute. The kid doesn't have any of his medication, you sound like you're somewhere you don't even know and I have no idea if T'Challa is going to listen to reason about Bucky. You can't go out and be a wild man right now."
