The Right Partner (Winter Soldier x Reader) {4}




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~S.H.I.E.L.D Medical Department~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

You slowly opened your eyes and closed them quickly because of the bright lights. You blinked a few times to adjust. You looked around and saw all the machines and wires. You slowly brought yourself up into a seated position and ran your hand through your hair. You sighed when your door to your room slid open.

“It’s about time you woke up!” Natasha said coming over to your bedside.

“You had us all worried there sleeping beauty.” Tony said filing in with the rest of the team.

“Thank god your up.” Steve came over and gave you a hug.

“She’s a tough one Steve, I’m still recovering from when her and I spared” Clint laughed as he walked in.

“Let me check some things out, make sure you doing ok” Bruce walked over with a clipboard and wrote some things down.

“You making a pretty good recovery” He gave you a small smile.

You smiled back and looked around at everyone.

“Where’s Bucky?” you asked.

Everyone looked at one another.

“We were all surprised he was with you, (y/n). Your camera signal was traced by us and someone else which led to what …” Natasha stopped as you shook your head.

“Where is he?” you asked again.

“He’s here, (y/n) in the facility. Buck jumped in after you when you fell into the water” Steve looked away.

“I want to see him please?” you asked.

“Well it looks like the Winter Soldier has out ranked us on her list.” Tony said crossing his arms.

“His name is Bucky” You and Steve said in unison.

“Get me up, I want to go see him.” You said trying to pull yourself out of the bed.

Natasha pushed your shoulder gently down as she looked at Bruce.

“(y/n) do you remember anything that happened or any idea how long you have been out for?’ Bruce asked with concern.

“There were enemies, it was H.Y.D.R.A. Shots were fired, you guys came, I ran after the man in glasses and… and he…” you trailed off remembering you were shot in the chest.

Your hands roamed your chest to find bandages but there was nothing. Nervously you’re pulled down your shirt making the guys in the room turn to give you privacy. No traces of bullet wounds, no scars but the stab wound on you abdomen was still there you checked. Once you covered up again you looked at Bruce confused.

“How is that possible? How long have I been out Bruce?” you said panicked.

“Your cells have changed, you have healing powers which in turn helped you survive the three blows to the chest…” he struggled with the next part.

“(y/n) we really didn’t know how much damaged was done and with your new healing power we didn’t want to risk doing anything to you. Your ability took some time to kick in.” Natasha said looking at you

“How…long?” your voice was shaky

“A month” Bruce replied.

“What?!” the word escaped you lips.

“That can’t be right…it…it can’t.” You said wide-eyed.

Steve put his hand on your back and rubbed it slowly telling you that you were going to be ok. You were out for that long and you had a new ability. It was too much to take in but you tried slowly to understand. A whole month had gone by and Bucky was here at S.H.I.E.L.D HQ. He saved you twice, he took care of you and him staying in the same facility threw you for a loop. Steve must’ve been happy to have his best friend around again. You were lost in thought when Natasha gripped your hand.

“Being out for a month seriously sucks. Can I see Bucky I want to thank him for everything” you glanced at everyone.

“He didn’t want to come up with us to see you but I know for a fact he has been by your side everyday for the last month just seating with you” Steve gave you a smile.

“He won’t admit though” he laughed.

“(y/n) lets get you out of those wires hmm” Natasha gestured for the guys to leave.

“Hey sleeping beauty I’ll order in some real food for you and everyone like you said sleeping for a month sucks.” Tony said on the way out.

Natasha helped you get all the wires off and assisted you in getting dressed. You oh so gracefully ripped off the stickers from you chest that were attach to monitors. Natasha smirked a little when she saw you wince while ripping them off quickly.

“How has he been? I mean did he give you guys a hard time coming in?” you asked.

“We thought he was make a run for it once he got you out of the water but turns out he asked to bring you in. He kept pressure on you wounds when we flew in. Fury had him go through interrogations at first he didn’t say anything but then we got Steve to talk to him and also give him updates on you. He came around and told us everything that led up to H.Y.D.R.A find you guys before we did.” She said as she handed you shoes.

Natasha brought you down corridors and stairs until you guys reached where they were keeping the soldier.

“Steve was right you know” Natasha said stopping in front of a metal door.

“About what?” you gave her a confused look.

“He was there every single day. Fury gave him permission to come see you as long as he was escorted. I brought him to your room everyday and he just sat there next to you staring at you. Steve’s says he has been remembering more things, says you are vaguely familiar. Maybe you can help him remember more and with some luck maybe you’ll start to remember to.” She said looking at you with a small smile.

Natasha typed in a code on the keypad. The door slid open and you walked in. As you scanned the room as the door slid shut behind you. There was no sign of Bucky, his room was a little bigger than a jail cell. He had the basic living essentials. You felt his presence though he wasn’t in plain sight. You took a few steps forward. Someone was behind you and grabbed you shoulder. Shear instinct kicked in as you grabbed the hand and twisted it forcing the body into the door. You realized in was Bucky but before you could acknowledge him, he reacted. You face hit the mirror over sink, shattering it instantly. His metal hand had a hold on your head while his other hand twisted your arm behind your back. You heard more of the mirror crack under the pressure he was applying to your face as warm blood ran down you cheek.

“Bucky! It’s me! It’s (y/n)!” you hissed through his hold.

You felt his grip loosen then his hands disappeared entirely. You slowly turned around to see him looking at you in horror. Just as you were about to say something Steve and Natasha came running into the room. Bucky took a few steps back lowering his head.

“My god (y/n) you alright?” Steve asked stepping closer to you to examine your head.

“I’m fine, it was my fault. I started it” you said waving Steve’s hand away from your head.

“You’ve only been awake for two hours and you end up bleeding again” Natasha shot her comment at Bucky.

“Natasha I said it was my fault. I was asking for it. Anyway it’s healing look” you said as you wiped away the blood with your shirt.

You saw Bucky look at you to confirm if you were telling the truth. Steve and Natasha gave you worried glances.

“You guys can go. We will be ok now, right?” you asked Bucky.

Bucky gave a slow nod. In silence Steve and Natasha left the room. Bucky made his way to the edge of his bed and sat down.

“It’s my fault you know…” he said without looking at you.

“Hey I have an idea let’s meet halfway hmm. You scared me so I reacted and I surprised you thus why I had my face shoved in a mirror. It’s both our faults alright?” you said determined to put it to rest.

“You didn’t make me bleed though.” Bucky said slightly tilting his head to catch a glimpse of the broken mirror.

You have no idea what possessed you to go over to the broken mirror , grab a shard and come back over to Bucky swiftly striking him across the chest slicing his shirt open.

“I bleed, you bleed. Now we’re even.” You said coldly watching the blood, stain his shirt.

Shock was written on his face as he looked down to see his chest . Snapping back, you stepped back dropping the shard and start to shake.

“I…I’m sorry. I…I didn’t mean that I…” you said panicked.

The door slide open again Natasha came running in with Steve close behind. You didn’t wait for them to speak, you ran out of the room with tears rolling down your face. Whatever just happened in there scared you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Moments Before In The Surveillance Room~~~~~~~~~~~~

“She seems to be more alert now, whatever training she had before is coming back on top of what I taught her.” Natasha said playing back your movements on screen.

“Yeah but Bucky reacted to and hurt her. He has been doing fine this past month. Doesn’t explain why he hid on the ceiling. I’ll have to ask later.” Steve sighed.

“Those two seem to have more triggers than we thought. (y/n) never did anything like that before. Thought she was predictable I guess I was wrong” Natasha crossed her arms.

Both stared at the monitors as you cut Bucky with the shard across the chest.

“SHIT!” Natasha cursed running out of the room.

“Bucky!” Steve yelled close behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to Present Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You ran passed agents and equipment to get as far away as possible. You scaled the steps with speed till you made it back to your room. You closed the door behind you and pressed you back to it sliding down bringing your knees in to your chest. You let yourself cry till you fell asleep. You woke up to a knock at your door.

“(y/n), it’s Steve. Can I come in?” Steve spoke through the door.

You didn’t respond but you moved to the opposite side of the room, curling up on your bed.

“I know your in there (y/n) I just heard you move. I just want to talk, let me in please.” Steve calmly said.

You knew he wasn’t going to leave. You really didn’t want to see anyone. You felt like you didn’t know yourself anymore besides not knowing who you were before coming here. This scared you and you wrapped your arms tightly around you and closed your eyes.

“Come…in” you sighed heavily.

You heard the door open and Steve entered slowly. You felt his eyes on you but you didn’t turn over.

“Is he ok?” you asked.

“He’s fine, the cut wasn’t deep. It didn’t really phase him. He kept asking if you were ok and was apologizing a lot.” Steve said closing the door.

“Fury is not going to clear me if I’m going to be that unpredictable. Natasha must be mad with me, she taught me control and I lost it. I don’t even know what’s happening to me, I’m different and it scares me…” you said but Steve cut you off.

“It’s not your fault, it’s no ones fault. You have been through a lot and so has Bucky. Fury will clear you eventually, trust me ok. Natasha isn’t mad at you, Heck I’m not mad at you just surprised how today turned out.” Steve laughed.

“No offence but if Natasha wasn’t mad at me wouldn’t she be here instead of you.” You said turning around to look at him.

“Well she wanted to come but after what happened we got Bucky cleaned up and bandaged. Then Fury wanted to speak to her.” He said as he ran a hand through his hair.

“Look (y/n) don’t blame yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do. You can go talk to Bucky tomorrow if you’re up for it.” Steve shot you a smile.

You got up and shook your head making Steve give you a puzzled look.

“I’m not going to see him nor do I want to till I finish my training. I want to control myself I don’t want to just blank out and do something stupid like that again. You don’t understand what it’s like hurting someone for no reason. I did that today and of all people to hurt it was your best friend and the guy that saved me.” you let the tears roll down your cheek.
Steve grew sad and came towards pulling into a hug. You buried your face in his chest and sobbed.

“Bet you Bucky felt the same way today.” He said rubbing your back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Fast Forward A Bit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About a few months had gone by, you resumed training the day after you little incident with Bucky. Natasha was all for you going back to training but on top of it Bruce ran tests to see what else you could beside heal. What he found was that you developed super strength, which meant you couldn’t spare with Clint or Natasha anymore so Steve jumped when he wasn’t helping with Bucky. You got him on his ass a few times but he got you back eventually. With the strength Bruce also discovered you had electrostatic power, although it was very faint you did shock people from time to time. You couldn’t really control it but it’s not  like you were the god of thunder like Thor. The whole time you were training you did your best to avoid Bucky. You had gotten word the Fury assigned him his own room and with Steve he was able to walk around the facility. This made it even harder for you to figure out where he’d be. Training room, mess hall, shooting range, and plenty more you managed to bump into him even single time. You would always catch him staring at you, you felt he wanted to talk to you but you needed to concentrate on you training that was priority. You kept brushing off the feeling till the day Fury cleared you. There was a catch, you were partnered with Bucky. You tried to fight Fury on his decision, which may or may not have led to you breaking Fury’s desk. Feeling bad about losing control of your strength you reluctantly agreed to the terms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Present Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“He’s not serious is he Natasha? Can’t you talk to him?” you punched the punching bag.

“(y/n) you know as well as I do Fury knows what he’s doing. Also the fact that you have been avoiding the Winter Soldier probably didn’t help.” She said leaning against the wall.

“His name is Bucky why can’t you call him that like Steve and the rest of them do hmm” you sent a few kicks at the bag.

“Sorry I’m still a little cautious about him, it’s only been a few months. He’s had some set backs but ultimately he is making progress. He catches on quicker than Steve.” She said with a grin.

You threw a few more punches and kicks. You couldn’t help but feel relieved the Bucky was your partner, it was almost nostalgic which was weird.

“I think I’m done for the day let’s go grab something to eat.” You said breathing heavy.

“I’m glad you’re on our side cause it would suck if you were the enemy.” Natasha said helping put away the equipment.

“Really? Hmm I would think it would be more of a challenge if you had to fight me  as your enemy. Would you engage me in hand-to-hand combat or would it be gadgets and guns?” You asked.

“Hmm that’s a tough one” she thought.

You stopped in the middle of the training room. You heard voices whispers at first, they grew louder. You looked around to see where they were coming from.

“(y/n) are you ok?” Natasha grabbed your arm.

You felt the energy growing inside you out of nowhere. There were flashes of memories, glimpses and fragments coming in and out of focus.

“(y/n) what’s wrong?” Natasha was shaking you.

The lights flickered and your hands started to twitch. The hairs on your arms stood on end.

“Get away from her NOW!” someone urged.

Whatever was happening you were afraid you were going to hurt someone. You heard more people enter the training room but couldn’t see them. Your vision was filled with faces that you didn’t recognize. Arms were around you and a voice spoke into your ear.

“(y/n) calm down. You need to focus on something and relax.” The voice said

“I know that voice.” You gasped.

“Come on focus, you can do this.” He encouraged.

“Bucky…” you said.

You picked a thought and focused hard. The memories began to fade and you started to see the training room. You turned around in the arms that held you and saw his face.

“You saved me again” you told him.

You searched his blue eyes for anything. You caught a glimpse of something familiar from your time with him in the apartment. Understanding with a bit something else you couldn’t make out.

“How’d you know to do that?” Steve asked came up from behind Bucky.

“I’ve done it before, I think. Don’t remember much of the details.” Bucky broke his gaze from you and unwrapped his arms around you.

“Can someone explain to me what in god’s creation just happened?” Fury came barging n.

“I had some flashes of memory and lost a little control over my electrostatic power. Sorry sir.” You looked away from Fury.

“Lost a little control is an understatement, you fried some of our new servers, disrupted communications but on the plus side generators work.” Clint came in looking at a tablet.

“I don’t feel so good” you said as your knees gave way.

Bucky caught you before you hit the floor. He picked you bridal style and you laid you head on his shoulder. You suddenly felt really tired. Trying to make sense of what just happened made your head hurt.

“We’ll debrief (y/n) tomorrow. Take her back to her room she needs rest.” Fury sighed.

Bucky followed Steve out with you in his arms. You felt his warmth along with his cold metal arm. They brought you into a room you didn’t recognize.

“This isn’t my room.” You managed to mutter

“Yeah it’s not, Fury has you, me and Bucky living in the same living space since you two are now agents. Don’t worry you have your bedroom and bathroom.” Steve laughed a little.

He was trying to lighten the mood after your little episode. You couldn’t help but smile a little.

“Which one is (y/n)’s room Steve?” Bucky asked

“Oh uh second door on your left.” He pointed down the hallway off the living room.

Bucky made his way to your room, he let you stand as he opened the door. All your stuff was and you realized this room was double the size of your last one. Bucky led you to your bed and helped you in.

“I’m sorry” you whispered.

“For what?” he looked confused.

“Everything, when we first met to the alley fight to cutting you, ignoring you and today. I’m sorry, I wish I could control whatever it is I am and remember more of my past before all this.” You weakly gestured around you.

“I’m not sorry, Well I’m sorry for other things but not for meeting you. You’re not the only one finding it difficult to remember anything about the past.” He helped you lie down and began to walk out.

“Bucky…could you stay with me till I fall asleep, please?” you asked.

Without a word he grabbed the chair from your desk and put it by your bedside an sat down.

“What you did earlier, you said you’ve done it before. How?” you adjusted yourself on your pillow.

“Bits and pieces of my memory comeback every now and again. I vaguely remember seeing something similar happen before, I just knew what to do. It’s really hard to explain.” He said sighing.

“Why did you go after the shooter that day?” you asked

“(y/n) you need to rest.” He gave you a stern look.

There was a long silence and you felt yourself drift off slowly.

“You want to know what I focused on to help me relax back there…it was you, I owe you a lot. You keeping saving me, I’m going to need to return the favor one day…” you trailed off falling asleep.

You felt a warm hand on your cheek brushing aside your hair.

“But you have saved me.” he whispered
