You sure, Soldier?

I can do that.

"Who's the new guy?" You asked trying to mask the anxiety you were feeling. 

"Well, y/n, this is Bucky, the guy I was telling you about..." Steve began, but everything that came out of his mouth quickly became a blur as you were more focused on not breaking down and crying right then and there.

You and the Winter Soldier never broke eye contact. He must have recognized you too, because you could tell his mind was racing as you were desperately holding on to any logical reason as to why he might be here. 

"y/n! Come see, I think you'll like this!" Tony yelled from the lab.

You took your chance to escape and quickly said "that's lovely, Steve, gotta go, catch you later byeeee!"

You rushed into the lab, slamming the door behind you, your back to it. Tony noticed something was very clearly wrong and rushed to your side, putting his arm around you and half- carrying you to a chair. 

"y/n, I need you to talk to me, what's wrong?"

"hydra....and...the arm....but he's- he's not.....and the scar" You tried pushing out your thoughts in between your rapid breathing

"Okay. Okay. Breathe. Innnnnnnnn. Ouuuuuuut. Innnnnnn, ouuuuut."

You followed Tony's breathing pattern until you could actually speak.

"Okay so Hydra, right? Well that's the one. He did the stuff, and now I'm like this...and, and how could he be out 'cause he was..."

Tony chuckled at your attempt to explain. "Kid, imma need a little bit more than that, it's getting better though"

"Okay." You took a deep breath and continued. "So when I was tortured for failing a mission, or not cooperating, they sent him in. That scar that I hate, he's why. And how could Steve do this, he knows-"

"Yes. Barnes was Hydra. He was kind of similar to you, brainwashed and used as a weapon. I'm not happy with Steve, either. But as much as it hurts to defend ole' tin man, he really has no idea what he did. He remembers bits and pieces, kind of like you. "

"Did Steve know? That he...you know" You made a cutting motion across your stomach "Did this?" 

"I don't know that he knows that you were one of them , but he know's Barnes did some messed up stuff. But look, y/n. You're our glue. Can you try and get through this? The last thing this tower needs is for our sunshine to be upset." He kissed you on the forehead and waited for your response.

Tony was right, you were the glue, if the glue falls apart, well, so does what it's holding together. 

"yeah, I can do that."

"That's my girl."
