Somebody That I Used To Know

Bucky Barnes x Mutant! Fem! Reader! x Logan Howlett

"You okay?"

As much as you wanted to say you were fine, that possibly seeing Logan again wouldn't do anything to you, you knew you couldn't lie. Logan hurt you emotionally that day, so much that it took yourself ten years to recover.

But now you have a loving husband by your side - you're not alone anymore, and he always made sure that he always knew your pain.

"I'll try to be," You admitted as he curled his fingers with yours.

"It's been so long."

"He's probably a crippling old man by now," Bucky joked, knowing that your healing factor was the only thing keeping you young.

But also knew it went the same way for Logan.

"Then you must be dating the oldest woman of the century," You joked, feeling the nerves starting to slip away until the elevator dinged.

Professor X came in, then Mystique, then Beast, and then. . .Logan. You immediately objected to working with the X-Men, but Fury and Tony were surprisingly working together for once on this. They wanted to make sure we knew of all the heroes we could so that we can call on eachother if something happens.

"(Y/N), it's been too long, dear. How have you been?" Proffessor immediately greeted you.

"I've been great. How's the school?" You asked, trying to avoid the obvious eyes staring at you.

"Growing better every year. You can always come by and visit, it's your home too."

"Did you get married?!" Mystique burst out, making your heart jump once you realized that Logans eyes were now on your hand.

"It was a bit rushed with everything going on, but yes. Raven, Professor, Henry, Logan, this is my husband, Bucky," You proudly introduced Bucky to everyone, who's hand was wrapped around yours.

"Sargeant Barnes, it's an honor to meet you," Henry immediately shook his hand, admiring his metal arm, "Oh wow, that's Vibranium, isn't it? This is incredible work. Oh, is Dr. Banner here?"

"Slow your roll, bub, we're here for a meeting. This isn't a convention," Logan finally spoke up, and you merely glanced at him. Of course he hadn't aged, and you hated that he looked back at you. You hated how he still had that longing look in his eye because you would enjoy it if he never left you. If he never broke your heart.

"I have way too many questions. How'd you guys meet?" Raven asked, and since you had an hour to spare, you decided why not.

But Bucky spoke first.

"HYDRA didn't want to let me go, so I was on the run. Steve and (Y/N) wouldn't give up on me, they knew that I had been framed for the murder of King T'Chaka. I guess we officially met when I knocked you off the building," Bucky said nonchalantly.

"Wait, no," You realized, "I attacked you that night with Fury, by using the vines that grew on the rooftop to hold you down, but you broke out of them and kicked me in the stomach."

"Oh, yeah! I didn't really remember that. But, she always advocated for my innocence and I remember during the car chase, I couldn't stop staring at you because I had never seen a woman so beautiful and strong," Bucky smiled at you, to which you felt your cheeks become warm. Even after two years, he still managed to get you flustered.

"And then you fell off the motorbike."

You saw Logan out of the corner of your eye, just rolling his eyes and looking around the Avengers headquarters, trying to pay attention to anything else.

"He only made a move when we were in Wakanda. I stayed to make sure he was going to be okay, and I wanted to get to know him better. We were in his hut and just talking about his life before Winter Soldier, and he asked to kiss me," Even during the 21st century and a man wanted for homicide, he was still a gentleman and wanted to make sure you were comfortable before making any moves.

"That's so cute! You guys just sound like you're made for eachother," Raven fawned over the both of you.

"I'm happy that you've found someone to be with, (Y/N). You both seem very happy together," Professor knew your history with Logan, but only knowing James for a few minutes, he saw just how deserving you were of this love and how genuinely happy he made you.

After the meeting, Stark offered them to stay the night and a few days to check out our facilities and as happy as you were to catch up with Raven, you didn't want to be alone with Logan.

Which is what happened.

You got up at two a.m. to get a quick snack and a drink, and just as you were gonna go back to bed, you turned to see Logan standing a few feet away from you.

"Hey," You muttered.

"So, you've been here all this time?" He asked.

"Yeah, just helping the world and. . .stuff," It was awkward, especially when Logan got closer and you kept your robe tight around you.

"Can he even control that thing?" Logan questioned, referring to Buckys arm.

"He can control it just fine because it's apart of himself," You insisted with a bite in your tone.

"He doesn't get nightmares?"

"Atleast he's doing something to help himself," Logan was taken aback by your tone, but understood why you'd be angry.

"I hope you know that I'm not going back, Logan. I'm happy here, and I'm happy with Bucky," You summed up.

"And yet you act like him beating you was so normal."

Your eyes widened, "He couldn't stop himself! He was brainwashed, under control by HYDRA. You know what? I don't have to explain shit to the boy who couldn't even get help for himself," and rushed past him.

But he grabbed your arm, "(Y/N), I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you-"

"You shouldn't be sorry for leaving me," You cut him off, making him loosen his grip on you, "you should be sorry for letting yourself wallow in your own guilt, in your own self hatred, and for abandoning me thinking I was going to be able to pick myself up at the end of it. For not getting help. Logan, I. . .I know that I still care about you, but the love I had for you is long gone. I'm not sorry for falling in love with Bucky. I'm only sorry that you thought you could have me back."

With that, you walked away and Logan felt it all just crumble. Instead of fighting someone to get help and pleading for them to stay, you found someone who knew he needed help and was working to be better, and who was going to stay through all the hard trials.

You found better.

You found Bucky.

YOU'RE SO CUTE ILYSM!!! 😍

“Fuck you my child is completely fine.”

Your child has full length and ongoing conversations with their-self pretending they’re talking to fictional characters and said characters are responding to them.

Honestly, Peter Parker and Musa would be a power couple

Lagertha deserved better
