Perfection - Your story/ Bucky Barnes love Story

Chapter 14 - The Chitauri

I go into the "locker room." With all of our uniforms and look over as Tony turns on his helmet. He looks at me and stops what he's doing. "Come here." He points at the table. He pats the top and I hop up. "Let me stitch that before we leave." He whispers. I feel the top of my head to feel a large gash in my forehead, I look towards the mirror in shock.

"Oh I didn't even notice." I whisper. I sit silently as he gets out the medical kit and gets the right tools. I slightly flinch as he cleans the wound and starts to stitch it.

"Did Banner do that." He points to my cheek. I look straight ahead at the small mirror again to see a large bruise.

"Yeah." I whisper.

"You know he can't control it. He would never mean to hurt you."

"I know Tony." I smile.

"Alright. All done." He smiles. "I'll leave you alone to change."

"Thanks Tony." I whisper. He pats my shoulder and gets into his suit, waking out. I change into my suit and put my shield on my back. I run out and into the hangar and into the Jet with the others.

"Let's go." Nat says. We take off, I look out as Tony flies by.

"Do you like him or something?" Steve asks, looking outside.

"Steve. No." I roll my eyes.

"I just saw the way you hugged him...so I assumed."

"I hugged him as a friend. I'm allowed to make friends. Plus he's in love with someone. And so am I." I smile. Steve nods and sits down.

We finally make it to New York to see some sort of portal open in the sky. "Stark, we're heading north east." Nat says.

"What, did you stop for drive-thru? Swing up PARK, I'm gonna lay 'em out for you."

I look out as Nat fires at the Chitauri. We fly over towards the Stark tower to see Loki and Thor fighting. "He needs help." I whisper. I open the hatch as they fly around for me, I leap out and next to Thor. As they turn around, Loki uses his scepter to blast at the Jet. The jet goes down, and lands roughly. I run over to Loki and use my shield to block his blasts. I punch him hard in the face as Thor picks him up and slams him down. Loki gets up and picks me up by my throat, he throws me into a window of the tower. "I hate that guy." I groan to myself. As I run outside I see Loki stab Thor. "Thor!" I yell. As I run over to him, he slams Loki down again and he rolls off and onto one of the Chitauri chariots. "Are you alright?" I ask him.

Thor throws down the small dagger and nods. "Come. We must help them down there." He points. "Hold on tight." Thor wraps his arm around me, while I wrap mine around him also. He takes off and takes us down next to Steve.

"What's the story upstairs?" Steve asks.

"The powers surrounding the cube is impenetrable." Thor looks to Steve.

Tony talks through our earpiece. "Thor is right. We gotta deal with these guys."

"How do we do this?" Nat asks.

"As a team." I say smiling.

"I have unfinished business with Loki." Thor's eyes narrow.

"Yeah, get in line." Clint says.

"Save it. Loki's gonna keep this fight focused on us and that's what we need. Without him these things could run wild. We got Stark up top, he's gonna need us..." Steve is interrupted by a motorbike. Bruce gets off and looks around.

"So, this all seems horrible." He looks at all of us.

"I've seen worse." I say nodding.

Bruce looks over to my bruised cheek. " I'm sorry." He whispers and looks to Nat, also saying sorry to her.
