Chapter Fourteen

Shuri had invented a some new technology that could show memories or feelings, no one wanted to be her lab rat so you volunteered. "So it shouldn't affect your memories or even your brain function but you will be the first person I test it on." Shuri said, "your so lucky I trust you Princess." You smirked, she attached the wet gelled wires to various places on your head and then touched some buttons. The machine began to whirl and make noises.

"The first feeling that it shows will be happiness." Shuri said, it showed multiple memories. you and Steve on your first date in Brooklyn. You and Sam twerking to music in a dance club. You spending time with the avengers playing a game of never have I ever and Thor's booming laugh. Memories flashed of every time Bucky belly laughed and the moment you managed to finally pin him without getting excited. "The next one I want to show you is anger." She said clicking some more buttons. The memories shown for this were Steve telling you when he kissed Sharon, you trying to fight the accords, Zemo trying to turn Bucky into the winter soldier and seeing Steve and Sharon kissing. "I want to show pain if your okay with that?" She asked, you nodded your head. The memories shown were a mixture of pain, losing your parents, both times Steve kissed Sharon, you being shot, saying goodbye to Steve and Sam before they went on the run and being all alone when S.H.E.I.L.D agents were after you.

"The final one I want to show you, is, desire." She said looking at you, "I apologise now if you see Captain America's bare ass." You said laughing, she let out a belly laugh, "I might have to save the image and sell it." She laughed, "like you need the money." You laughed. She clicked some buttons and the memories shown shocked even you. The memories included your first kiss with Steve, your first love making session with Steve, Bucky belly laughing, watching Bucky at different points of the day and training with Bucky when you were pinning each other.

Bucky had walked into the lab just as the last memory was playing, "what was that?" He asked, your head whipped round and Shuri began laughing, your shot her a help me look. "A test Mr Barnes. If you'll allow me, I can maybe show you some memories you've been missing?" Shuri said, he nodded and sat in the chair you'd just got up from. She connected him up to the machine and began clicking away. "I can leave it you would feel more comfortable?" You said to him, he shook his head.

"Mr Barnes, the first feeling I will show you will be happiness." Shuri said, Bucky nodded his head. It showed some memories he had forgotten about him being accepted into the war, spending time with his little sister Rebecca, finding Steve again, you sliding under his arm in attempts to hit Sharon, seeing you for the first time in Wakanda, your silent belly laughing and the first time you got excited over pinning him to the ground. "The next I want too show you is anger?" Shuri questioned, Bucky nodded his head again. These showed Hydra first capturing him, losing his arm, fighting Steve, civil war and Zemo shooting you. "If you'll allow me, the next one I want too show you is pain?" Shuri asked, Bucky again nodded his head, the memories included losing his arm, losing his sister, losing Steve, not being able to go to his families funerals, watching Steve kiss Sharon and the look on your face and Zemo shooting you.

"Mr Barnes, I'd like to show you desire?" She asked, "of course. But I must warn you, I used to be a ladies man back in my time." He said, "does that mean I get too see you without a shirt on?" You smirked, Bucky's mouth hung open as did Shuri's after what she'd seen. "All you have to do is ask doll." He smirked, "or do I need to ask for a Teddy first?" You laughed, Bucky let out an equally loud laugh, Shuri watched the events unfold in front of her.

"Okay, are you ready Barnes?" You said too him, he looked at Shuri and nodded his head. The memories were, the girl he'd taken to the fair before shipping out, a familiar red head in the red room, you in the river in front of his hut with the moon shining down on you, watching you watch films, you falling asleep in the sofa, when he had his arms wrapped around you when he stopped you from going to Sharon & you pinned under him with a big smile on your face. Bucky's face looked at yours watching the monitor, Shuri unhooked Bucky and slowly left the room.

"So all alone you were really helping me." You said to him, "what do you mean?" He asked, "since I've been helping you or in the same room as you, the feelings I had for Steve, they disappear, I thought it was change of environment but it was you." You admitted, "when she showed me desire, I was adamant they were going to be of me and Steve, but they weren't. Well it showed mine and his first kiss & intimate time then the rest it was you." You said, Bucky stood there nodding. "He's my best friend." Bucky said softly coming to the realisation of what you meant, "I know, and I'm so sorry that I did this too you." You said putting your hand on his, "I think it's as much my fault as it is yours." He said with a small smile. "Whoever the girl was from the fare was a lucky girl." You smiled at him, "Steve's a lucky guy." Bucky said taking his hand away from yours. "Was." You whispered as he walked away.

You watched as Bucky walked out, a little pain in your heart because as much as you disliked Steve at the moment, you could never get in between the two best friends.
