Rafael Jane Stallin (Bucky Barnes)

~'Justice'~

Rafael's POV

People begin to scream and scream out of the place. My heart sinks and I watch Bucky fall back. Everything seemed like it was in slow motion.

"Bucky!!" I scream.

The pub was now empty, although I could feel someone behind me.

"To kill a mocking bird" the voice says.

My heart begins to race around my body, my legs shake uncontrollably as my whole body tingles. Tears were falling off my face.

"Are you okay? What did they do to you?" He asks worriedly.

"I-I" I start but couldn't figure out what to say. The purple liquid starts to get to me again.

"I feel... dizzy" I loose my balance as I lean forward onto Bucky's chest.

"Hey, stay with me"

Although my eyes threatens to close.

"Rafael, please"

"I remember now..." I mutter. I throw my head behind me and stare deeply into AJ's eyes.

"He knew too much" he says.

"What do you mean?" I ask, I take a few steps back making sure I don't step on Bucky.

He doesn't say anything, "we're going to complete my project, my walking weapon"

"No, this time you won't get me!" I ran towards him and punch him across his face, he blocks and aims the gun at me.

"Ye know.... I have the gun, so you need to be careful on what move you'll put on me.

"Raf..." I hear Bucky groan on the floor. He then has a choking fit.

"Bucky..." I look at him. I take my arm back forcefully and go to him.

"You're a monster" I tell AJ.

"I know" he smirks, "and you're next" he aims the gun at me again and gets ready to shoot.

Fuck!

I close my eyes afraid of a bullet going through my forehead.

CLANG

That's a new sound.

I open my eyes and see Steve, Clint, Sam, Natasha and Tony all here.

I immediately shake Bucky, "Bucky, wake up we need to get out of here!" I cry.

He makes a sound in response, "can you stand?"

I examine his face to see any sign, I then look at the wound he was clinging onto it.

Thank god AJ just missed his heart.

"C'mon, up you get" I grab hold onto him but struggle.

He yelps in pain, it must've been because of the way I forced him up, "sorry!"

"Let me help" Clint walks over.

"YE NEED ME!!" AJ shouts in the background.

"I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!"

Bucky's arm was over mine and Clint's shoulder.

"You see, there's someone greater than me"

"Let's go" Clint orders, I look at him and nod.

Clint and I were sitting in the hospital waiting for any update on Bucky.

"He'll be okay" he places a hand on my back.

I don't say anything.

Soon after Steve and Sam walks over to us, "how is he?" Steve asks.

"He's still in the surgery room" Clint answers.

I look up at Steve, he must've seen how broken I was just by the look I was giving him.

"He's strong. I've known him for a while now. He'll make it"

I nod as a single tear rolls down my face. He comes closer to me and gives me a hug for support.

"What's happening to AJ?" I ask as soon as he releases me.

"He's been arrested, he's staying in the Avenger's tower prison. We need more information from him about 'Justice'"

"Justice?" Clint and I say in unison.

"Apparently he's been ordering AJ around. I guess he's the main boss of their business" Sam says.

"Right.." I look away. I notice a nurse coming our way. I stand up.

"He's going to be okay" she tells us. A major weight lifted off my shoulder as I begin to cry happily.

"He needs to rest now but I'll let him know that you guys stayed and came by"

"Okay, can I stay?" I ask.

"It's not ideal unless you're family"

I nod understanding her concept.

"You can come by tomorrow morning at any time" she gives me a soft smile.

I look behind me at the three boys, "can I stay at one your places tonight? I don't want to be alone"

"Of course" Steve smiles.

"Thank you"
