Summary: In 2014, with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s classified information leaked and Hydra exposed to the public, nobody is safe. Least of all Bucky.
On the run from S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra and Steve, he decides to hide out in quiet Hagerstown where Y/N's family ev...
Your mom walks into the kitchen, fixing her shirt collar as she enters.
"Mom" you sigh, "you don't have to do this."
"Stop it, you know I do."
"It's honestly not that big of a deal. I've got steady hours at the toy store."
"Yes and earning less than minimum wage, you'll have enough saved up in about oh I don't know, thirty years or so." she sasses back.
You roll your eyes and take a sip of your chocolate milk.
"Sweetie, I know you hate the thought of me working-"
"No! I don't mind you working. But it's the fact that you're doing it to dig me out of a hole." you counter.
"You're my daughter. And you deserve to go to school. And as your mother, it's my job to make sure that happens."
"I'm just sorry you have to hide it from dad."
"And I'm sorry he's always getting on your case about you taking a year off."
"But you know his temper" you both say at the same time, causing you both to let out a giggle before sighing.
"I've got a nest egg coming along nicely. With my savings and your savings, we'll have enough for you to return to school next fall. You'll get your education and your father will never know that his money wasn't enough."
You nod your head with a smile before looking her up and down. "You look great, mom. Nobody can rock a collared shirt better than you."
Your mother thanks you before heading towards the door.
"Have fun selling cable!" you shout at her.
"Have fun stocking the new barbies!" she yells back, laughing at the look you give her.

Bucky knew it was stupid to stop in Hagerstown. It was only an hour and a half away from D.C. But then again, that's probably why he felt safe enough to stop. Hydra would be going all over the world looking for him. Nobody would think he'd be in a city so close. It was so stupid, it just might work.
The people were nice here. He went into a second hand store looking for a change of clothes and walked out with a whole wardrobe, all free of charge. The pastor let him stay in the halfway house, he was only there for one night before he found another place to move onto.
It was an old house, but beautiful. It was two stories, with a front porch; the white paint faded. The man he met up with said it was his grandmother's home but she had recently passed. He gave Bucky the keys, told him to stay as long as he wanted and to drop them off at the realtors whenever he was gonna move on.
Bucky stood in the front porch, keys in his hand, and watched the man drive away. People are too trusting here, he thought to himself before making his way inside.
