Y/N and Bucky's time in Wakanda was needed and helpful after the previous months of chaos.
After three months away, they decide it's time to return to the Compound and get back to normal. Unfortunately for the Avengers, 'normal' means danger; something Y/N is still learning to deal with.
When Hydra reappears and begins to wreak havoc on a global scale, Y/N takes on her role as an Avenger, dealing with feelings of guilt, responsibility, and fear for her newfound family, all while trying to find her place in the world of superheroes and corruption.

"This is the first time in over a year that I feel like I can really see the world. Like I'm here, not struggling to keep my head above water, not watching from the backseat. And now that I'm here, I see what I can do to help... but also what I can lose. And it's scary."

(Bucky Barnes x Reader).
Setting: After CA:TWS until/during/after CA:CW - 2014 - 2016. NOTE: As the events of this book take place over two years, there will be multiple time skips/jumps in order for the story to progress without getting boring or repetitive. Just a heads up if that's not your jam.
My OC belongs to me, anything associated with Marvel doesn't; I just use them as my playthings.
NOTE: This story is for people 18+. There are mature themes explored in this story including but not limited to: suicide, violence, trauma, and graphic sex. There are warnings above each chapter, but just forewarning you. If you are under 18+, I'd suggest you find something else to read: 1) I don't want to corrupt you. 2) I don't need angry parents/guardians coming for me. But ultimately I can't stop you if you do decide to read this story.
