Bucky

We were sitting in the living space, talking about the upcoming party and there was a loud scream. I sipped my drink as everyone jumped to their feet expecting a fight but in came Blue with fire behind her eyes and she headed for Tony, who backed up.

"What the fuck is this?" She said shoving the box at him.

"It's a dress," Tony said, "For tonight's party,"

"I'm not going,"

"Yes, you are,"

"No, I'm not,"

"I'm not going to argue with you about this," He sighed.

"Even if I did go, which I won't, there is no chance you will get me into a dress," Blue said, prodding his chest, "Thanks, but no thanks,"

"There might be a possible Hydra member making his appearance,"

"Then why the hell didn't you say so?" She said taking the dress back, "Beautiful dress. Probably picked it to match my eyes. Cheers, old man,"

Everyone remained silent as she skipped out of the room, humming that annoying tune again.

"Someone please tell me what just happened?" Loki said, "I have never seen a mood change so quickly,"

"I have," Thor said under his breath.

"She has an issue with Hydra," Steve said, "Earlier we caught her in a flashback. She was clearly scared but when I asked when they took her, she became angry and kicked us out,"

"Her past isn't our business," I said, "We use her to steal what we need and she can leave. That was the deal,"

"It was," Tony said, "But I would like to know who she is and how she became enhanced,"

"Hydra took her and injected her with the serum Steve and I had?" I said, "That is the most likely scenario,"

"Why are you suddenly protective over her?" Nat asked, "She kicked your ass,"

Oh shit. They know. I fucked her and they know.

"Hydra," I said quickly, "If she has flashbacks then obviously it has something to do with Hydra. I understand her pain,"

"You didn't see her," Steve said, "It reminded me of Bucky when he was having night terrors,"

"She might be feeling lonely," Wanda said, quietly.

"Even if she is, she won't let us in," Nat sighed, "At least she will be able to help at the party tonight,"

Tony chuckled, "I lied. There isn't a possible Hydra member showing up,"

"When she finds out you lied to her, she is going to kick your ass. And I can't wait for that to happen," Nat said.

There was a reason why I didn't like social gatherings with strangers. The music was always too loud and alcohol made people brave. I didn't feel comfortable with strangers talking to me or touching me. I especially didn't like it when women grabbed my metal arm and swooned.

I bet it feels great around the throat

I want those metal fingers inside me

I always shivered in disgust and walked away. They were too desperate for me. Obviously, my metal hand around throats during sex felt great and I never had any complaints but that wasn't the point. I didn't want that sort of conversation with someone.

Nat slid me a beer as I hopped onto the seat, feeling bored and uncomfortable. I wanted to go back to my room but I had heard Tony and Sam place a bet on how long I would last. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of leaving after an hour or two.

"Did you want something stronger?" Nat asked, "Thor has his ale,"

"I'll stick to beer,"

"What's wrong? It isn't like you to stay more than 5 minutes,"

"Sam and Tony have placed a bet on how long I will last,"

"Fair enough," Nat laughed, "Or is it because you want to see the Blue-eyed bombshell?"

I scoffed, "Yeah. Right. Why would I want to see her?"

"Because everyone else has," Nat winked at me and walked to the other end of the bar. I looked over my shoulder and almost choked.

Holy fuck.

She was gorgeous. Her eyes scanned the faces in the room and she caught mine. A small smirk appeared on her face and she knocked a man out of her way, with disgust on her face I got to my feet when he grabbed her wrist.

"Hold on, Bucky," Nat said, "I think she has this handled,"

Blue grabbed the man's face and threw him onto the floor with ease. I winced as I heard the thud as he landed. She said something and the men who were trying on with her quickly left. She dusted her hands and carried on walking towards me...or the bar.

"Good evening," She said and looked me up and down, "Looking utterly delicious, Sargeant,"

"Please don't call me that," I muttered.

"Only in the bedroom then?"

Nat laughed, "Drink?"

"Anything you have. Strong. I don't care what,"

"You, uh, look good," I said.

"I know," She said, "Oh, was I supposed to react better? Shit. I'm never good at receiving compliments. Try again. I'll do better,"

"Was that sarcasm?"

"For once, it wasn't," Blue said, "Please? Try again,"

I rolled my eyes, "You look good,"

"Oh, thank you," She said tucking her hair behind her ears, "It took me ages to get ready. Was that better?"

I couldn't help but smile, "Yeah. That was better,"

"Is this normal for a party?" She asked, "Everyone dressing up like a million dollars just to get wasted and throw up on their outfit?"

I looked over at the woman who was being escorted out, covered in her own vomit.

"I wouldn't know. I don't normally last more than 5 minutes," I said, shaking my head.

Blue smirked, "Well, I know first-hand that you do,"

I felt my face burn, "I told you to never mention that!"

"Meh," She shrugged. Nat handed her a drink and walked away again, "Bucky?"

"What?" I said through gritted teeth.

"I...I wanted to apologise for earlier," She said barely above a whisper, "I hoped no one had heard me. It isn't fun and I didn't want anyone to see me like that,"

I looked down at how broken she looked, holding the glass and I patted her shoulder, "Don't worry about it. I've been there. Still have nightmares sometimes but I'm here if you need to talk,"

"Thanks. I should probably apologise to Steve," She quickly downed her drink, "I wanted to rip his perfectly handsome face-off,"

As she walked off, I quickly grabbed her arm, "Take the weapons out of your pockets,"

"Damn it," She sighed and pulled out three small knives from each pocket, "There. Happy?"

"The one on your thigh and the gun as well,"

"You just want to see some skin," She said throwing the skirt to her dress to the side. She pulled the holster off and dropped it into my hand, "You are no fun,"

"Hold up," I said, trying not to smirk.

"What now?" She said, putting her hands on her waist, "I don't have any weapons anywhere else!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" I said, "I was trained to be an assassin and I know that you have a blade strapped between your breasts,"

Blue grumble under her breath and yanked the knife from between her breasts, "There,"

"I'll give it to you, you tried,"

"I don't need a weapon anyway," Blue shrugged.

Nat approached me once she walked away and she smirked, "You've got it bad. I like her,"

I sighed, "She's hard to dislike,"
