Saving Steve

Saving Steve

You were done for the day. You had cleaned the kitchen, made schedule for the next day, and were rearranging the tables, when you heard the front bell ring, signalling the arrival of a customer.

“Sorry we are close-” she stopped mid-sentence seeing the person.

“Bucky?” She exclaimed surprised. “What are you doing here?”

“I… um… I thought I’ll visit, and … um I …I was carving your pastries…. I’ll come tomorrow.” Bucky replied and turned to get out of there.

“No wait.” You stopped him quickly. “Come in. I’ll quickly make your favourite.”

“No. No. It’s okay. You should be going home now. I’ll get it tomorrow.”

“Oh Shut up. You get your avenging ass over your usual table, I’ll be back soon.” And with that you rushed to the kitchen. While preparing Bucky’s favourite, your mind started to wander on various thoughts, especially how you became friends with some of the Avengers.

Bucky was your regular customer. Not that you noticed. He usually came in when the rush was high. Sitting quietly in the corner of your little bakery, without bothering or complaining. Slowly other Avengers started joining him. Sometimes it was Sam or Natasha. Most of the times it was the Captain America himself. In time they soon became your favourite customers. They were nicer than some of our customers, even after they spend better part of their life trying to fight some tough battles.

You made small talks with all of them, except Bucky. The communication between you and Bucky were strictly on the basis of food. You always made something new, which he would be the first one to taste. If he enjoyed it, only then it would come out on the counter for sale, and Bucky would go home with some extra on the house. Otherwise it would be a goodbye. But luckily most of the time it was the first case.

“Okay try this.” You said, sliding on the chair in front of him. You watched as Bucky devoured your latest creation. It literally warmed your heart.

“So? How’s Steve? It has been long since I saw him. Did he do what I told him to do on Valentine’s day? Sharon would have really loved it?” You asked Bucky. Bucky stopped eating, a pained look appeared on his face.

“Bucky? Are you alright?” You asked worriedly.

“Steve and Sharon broke up.” He murmured so softly, that if it had not been the quite of the night you would have definitely missed it.

“What? Why?” You could not help screaming. Bucky flinched hearing your scream. You lowered you voice and asked again.

“Why?” Bucky shrugged.

“Oh dear.” You were sad to hear it. You always believed that Steve and Sharon had something special between them. They were according to you- a match made in heaven.

“Tony took everyone out. He is trying to get Steve’s mind off the breakup. And there was a new bar that he wanted to try out. Some place called Executive Lounge or something.” Bucky said. He was happy to get it out of his chest.

“Tony took Steve where now?” You screamed again shocked.

“Executive Lounge. I think.” Bucky replied giving you a weird look. You were screaming a lot tonight.

“Bucky-” You started after recovering from your shock. “This place… um … where Tony has taken Steve is not a bar.” Now Bucky was really confused. What the hell were you talking about?

“It’s a strip club.” You said. Bucky expression changed from confused to shock as he grasped your words. He clearly regretted for not going with Steve.

“I think we should save Steve.” He said. And with that both of you rushed out for your mission.

-x-x-x-

You had never broke into any place. But tagging along with an ex-assassin meant you were going to break into the strip club. So far you had managed to stay hidden. All you had to do is now was to find Steve. Which was really very, very difficult. You both made way towards the VIP section of the club and hid behind the bar. Your guess was right. Tony Stark had rented out the entire VIP section. You spotted some of the other Avengers too. The odds were not in your favour. You spotted Steve in the centre. He looked uncomfortable. You signalled Bucky, and pointed him towards Steve, but his eyes were on someone else. You followed Bucky’s gaze. Sharon? What the hell was she doing here? You and Bucky shared a confused look.

The music started playing announcing the beginning of the show. The curtains were up and there stood a beautiful woman wearing a revealing piece. She started her sensuous performance. Bucky’s face was red with embarrassment. Even if he was a ladies man back in 40s, he was not used to such type of skin show. He was sure that Steve would be embarrassed too. And he was right. Steve looked like he would throw up anytime now.

“Look Sharon is jealous.” He heard you say. He looked at Sharon. Surely she looked jealous.

“I have an idea.” You said.  Before Bucky could ask you about it you left your hiding place with a ‘don’t move’ command. Bucky waited and waited. He was getting restless with time. Soon you joined him, with an excited gleam in your eyes.

“What did you do?” He asked you. You silenced him and continued to watch. The music changed, and soon a male stripper arrived on the stage. He walked up to the ladies. Maria and Natasha seemed to enjoy the show, Wanda looked shy and Sharon clearly looked uncomfortable.

“Look. Steve is jealous.” You pointed out to Bucky. And sure enough, Steve looked like he was going to murder the male stripper.

“This was Tony’s plan to get them together- Steve and Sharon. So he brought them here, hired a hot female stripper to make Sharon jealous. I just went and added the male stripper to speed things up.” You explained.

The plan was genius. And it was working. The male stripper got a little too close to Sharon, which was enough for Steve to lose his cool. He stood up, threw the guy in the other side of the room, pulled Sharon out of the club. Mission Accomplished.

“I think we should go.” Bucky told you. You nodded, and you both made out of the club without anyone spotting you.

“I think you need to find another place to stay.” You told Bucky as you were walking down the street. Bucky could not help but groan.

-x-x-x-

“Was it me or did any one of you spotted Barnes?” Scott asked. The show continued after Steve left, and others were clearly enjoying it.

“Bucky was here.” Wanda confirmed.

“With a lady.” Thor added.

“Who might be this mysterious lady?” Tony wondered. He will dig the details tomorrow. Barnes better watch it out.

Empty Cupboards

“You sure you are not coming?” Steve asked for the 1000th time.

Bucky rolled his eyes and gave a look to his best friend. Steve released a tired sign. He did not want to leave Bucky alone. He simply continued to packing his bag. Soon he was ready to leave. Both friends walked back to common room together in silence.

“Will you be okay?” Steve asked again. Now Bucky was annoyed.

“Just get the hell out of here.” He hissed.

Before Steve could say anything they were interrupted by an excited voice.

“You ready?” Wanda asked. Her eyes were shining with childlike excitement. Both the super soldiers smiled at return.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go.” She ran to helicarrier, pulling Steve with her. Bucky shook his head and followed them.

Most of the team members were present there. Some talking to others, while some were checking through their stuffs. Tony was taking them to some private island for vacation. Everyone agreed to the plan excitedly for many reasons.

i.                     There was no mission coinciding.

ii.                   It was Tony who was paying.

Now no one was stupid to miss this opportunity. No one except Y/N and Bucky. It was unfortunate that the vacation plan coincided with Y/N’s weekend camping with siblings and cousins. But she would be still having fun. Bucky had no such reason. He did not want to go because he did not feel like going. Everyone tried to convince him to change his mind. Y/N tried to lecture him for being a grumpy cat and missing out good opportunities to have fun.

“It’s not every day that Tony feels this generous. You are going to regret it.” She had told him.

“You are the one to talk. You are not going either.” Bucky argued back.

“I don’t have a choice. This camping trip was planned in advance. Hell I was the one who suggested it. I cannot back out now.”

“Well it sucks to be you. But I am not going.” With that he walked out of the room leaving a very frustrated Y/N behind.

“Bucky-“ a voice brought him back to present. He turned to the owner of the voice with deep frown.

“Steve get your ass off to the carrier. I am going to be fine. I am a high-class assassin. If there would be any trouble, I will let you know. Just for sake of God, get off my back.” Bucky said. He knew his friend was worried about him but he could not endure Steve being mother hen for another second. He was hoping that they would leave soon. He knew he was being stupid to miss the all-paid-vacation by Tony. But he was in mood for beach. He planned to catch up with his sleep and maybe watch the show FRIENDS which Y/N insisted that he should watch. Also he would not have to listen to the Sam’s obnoxious sound. That was a plus.

As soon as the rest of the team left, Bucky walked to the kitchen to make himself something. He checked the cupboards and found them empty. He checked some more cupboards. All of them were empty.

“Damn it!” he cursed under his breath. He will have to go for grocery shopping. He hated grocery shopping.

“What happened?”  He heard Y/N ask.

He turned around to face her. She was packed and ready to go. Instead of replying he showed her the empty cupboards.

“Sam, Scott and Peter raided the last contents yesterday night.” She told him. Bucky walked out of the kitchen.

“I better go and get some grocery then.”

“Why don’t you come with me instead?” Y/N asked.

“What?”

“Come with me. For camping. My folks are not that annoying and I am sure you will like them. It would be relaxing. Others would come back on Monday and so would we. Instead after camping we come back to city and rent a room in some hotel and watch FRIENDS. Or any other show or movie which you want. This way when others return, these cupboards would still be empty and Steve will not be happy. Sam will definitely get an earful.” Y/N explained her plan.

Bucky thought for a while and nodded. He didn’t mind camping. And it would be nice to give Sam a taste of his own medicine.

“I’ll meet you here in fifteen.”

*Monday*

The rest of the team had returned by Monday afternoon. The vacation did not go as planned. Hulk had made an appearance. It took a while to calm things down after that. Tony and Clint had to do the cleaning of the mess created by them.

Everyone was so tired that they had decided to turn in for the rest of the day after having some quick lunch. Sam had told them how he had emptied all cupboards just to annoy Bucky.

“He must have had a fun time re-stocking them.” He said.

Everyone rushed to the kitchen, some aiming to cook while rest helping whenever need just to get food on the table as quickly as possible. Wanda opened the fridge. It was empty. Bruce had opened one of the cupboards. They were empty too.

“It’s empty.” They both said together.

“What?” Natasha asked.

Bruce was going through the rest of the cupboards. They were all empty.

“There is nothing here. Everything is empty.”

“That’s not possible. Our Winter Charming must need food to survive. Hey Friday, Where’s Barnes?” Tony said. He too went to take look at the empty cupboard, hoping it might be some prank that Barnes must have pulled to piss them. Sadly he was wrong.

“There is a voicemail for you, Mr. Stark” was Friday’s reply.

Everyone had a confused look on their face. They were hungry and tired and they definitely need some answers.

“That’s not the answer to my question. Play the voicemail anyway.” Tony said.

“Hey everyone.” It was Bucky. And he sounded different. There were loud noises around him.

“If you have hearing this message then it would mean I am not there. Y/N invited me to the camp trip and here I am. Actually it’s fun here- Hey Y/N careful. You will trip over- Never mind.”

There was a ‘thud’ sound behind him.

“Where was I? Oh yeah. Guys Sam, Scott and Peter have emptied all the groceries. So you might want to re-stock them. BTW Sam, nice try. Better luck next time. If there is any. Cheers.”

There was pin drop silence. Natasha gave Sam a look and said in a dangerously low voice.

“Run.”

And he did not need to be told twice.

Fate: Part 1

PAST

The horse galloped as fast as it could. The girl ridding it tried to get it faster. Tears continuously flowed from her eyes. Sobbing, she tried to get the horse run faster. She needed to tell the others the truth. She needed to tell them that they have lost everything. Everything was over. The Mikaelsons have destroyed everything.

TODAY

“Bad Idea. This is a bad idea.” The voice in her head chanted. “Just go back. This is bad idea.”

Emilia kept driving towards New Orleans. Her conscience was screaming at her. She was riding right into the danger.

“For Jane.” She muttered to herself. She passed the “Welcome to the New Orleans” sign. Her thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. She glanced at the number and put her phone of speaker.

“Where is he?” she asked the person on the other end.

“He is in at Rousseau’s” the voice replied.

“Okay. Thank you. Now get out of the city as soon as possible.”

“Okay. Bye.”

“And listen? Stay low. We don’t want them to find us. Got i?”

“Yup. Bye.”

MIKAELSON’S COMPOUND

“Freya!” Klaus stormed into the room. “Freya!”

“Stop. Shouting.” Answered a pissed of Freya.

“Have you found them?” he demanded.

“I would if you left me in peace. Your screaming is not helping me.”

“Oh! So screaming is disturbing you. You have been doing this since last evening. Perhaps you should admit that you are not capable anymore.” Klaus taunted back.

“Niklaus. Enough. I will not allow you to speak to our sister in such condemning tone.” Elijah said walking into the room.

“I won’t be condemning her if she would one thing I asked her to do. All I asked you to find those kidnappers. And you failed me.”

Rebekah walked in. Seeing an angry Klaus and a frustrated Freya, she went up to her sister.

“Leave her alone Nik. She has been trying to locate them since last evening. Non-stop. Without eating or drinking. Least you could do is be patient.”

“How can I be patient? When I know that it could be my Hope kidnapped instead of that insignificant witch. Whoever it is I’ll find them and finish them off even before they could even think of doing it.”

“Calm down Niklaus. Hope is safe and sleeping in her room. Nothing bad will happen to her. We won’t let it happen.”

“I cannot find anything. I have been trying and trying hard, but I cannot find anything.” They heard a disappointed voice of Freya.

“Freya. It is not your fault.” Elijah consoled his older sister. “We will find the person behind this. And we will make them pay for it.”

“Marcel is looking into the CCTV footage of the area. We may get lucky. And Kol and Davina are out in the Quarters. If they find any suspicious character they would surely let us know.”

Rousseau’s

Vincent was sitting alone. Tired of yesterday’s search. Third kidnapping. This was third kidnapping in past month. The count totalled to 12 witches in the year so far. He had blamed the arrival of Mikaelsons to the New Orleans for it. But as time passed he was clear that it had nothing to do with the Mikaelsons. Hell he was not sure who is behind it.

He sat quietly, staring blankly at his drink when he heard the chair being pulled out next to him. he looked up to see a woman, nearly 5’3, brown hair and eyes, dark haired, sitting next to him. Her eyes fixed on him. Confident, curious and alert. She ordered her drink, and turned to him.

“Vincent Griffith.” She knew him, though he could not recognize her. He stared at her questioningly.

“My name is Emilia Murphy. And I have a proposition for you.”

Vincent scoffed.

“Look Ma’am. I am not interested. You can keep your proposition to yourself.” He said getting ready to leave. Emilia Murphy was not going to take no for an answer. She slipped a medallion towards him. Vincent was shocked to see the symbol on the medallion.

“I hope you would reconsider my offer.”

Vincent could not process his mind. His eyes were still set on the image carved on the medallion. His mind screaming questions but his mouth gaping like fish.

“How?” he managed to ask.

Emilia gave him a kind smile in return.

MIKAELSON’S COMPOUND

“I have tried. I even channelled Davina for more power. But I cannot trace the kidnapper. I don’t know why.” A frustrated Freya told Hayley.

“Hey. It’s alright. Don’t push yourself too hard. I am sure there is another way out for this.”

“I found our problem.” They heard Rebekah announce. Both the women rushed out. Klaus stood in front of his sister.

“Who is it? Who dared to create imbalance in my city?” He asked his sister. By this time, rest of the family had joined him. Elijah stepped forward.

“Who is it Rebekah?”

“Well like I said, Marcel was looking into the CCTV-”

“How is that relevant here, Rebekah?”

“Patience brother!” Rebekah said and continued. “I joined him and look who I found.” She turned to the entrance. Marcel entered carrying a woman, an unconscious woman whose hands were tied back and legs were also tied, face was covered in a black bag, on his shoulders. He put her down on the ground and pulled her cover off her head. All the Mikaelsons gasped.

“Emilia.” Elijah murmured.

Bucky Banned

Amidst the loud clapping of the audience the interviewer screamed out.

“Ladies and Gentlemen!  Thank you for coming here tonight. It is a wonderful evening and we have a very special guest for you to make it even better.”

The crowd screamed even more.

“He is handsome, he is a gentleman. He mesmerizes ladies with his charms and plays a top assassin in Marvel Cinematic Universe. Please welcome Sebastian Stan everyone.”

Sebastian walked in and waved everyone. Once he had taken seat, the interviewer asked-

“You look good Sebastian.”

“Thank you, I feel good too.” Sebastian laughed.

“Seb, the filming of Infinity War part 2 is over, I have heard. What can you tell us about it?”

“Ummm.. .. It’s was a great experience working  with MCU and being a part of something this big is a huge opportunity for which I am grateful. Also it was lots of fun. It was a crazy few months.”

“You are married and have kids? Twins if I am not wrong?

“Yes, I am my wife are blessed with a twins three years ago.” He said with a big smile on his face and the crowd cheered

“How do they take this? This separation? Or long distance?”

“It’s not easy. I tried to go home whenever I could. I had my family come and visit me as much as possible.”  He explained.

“You know I asked my audiences to suggest some questions for you and some of them have some really good questions. So if you don’t mind how about I ask you those, instead of mine?”

“That would be great. Bring it on.” Seb replied enthusiastically.

“Okay. The first question is from Jennifer. Her question is- If you had a chance to change one thing about Bucky/Winter Soldier what would it be?”

“Ummm…. Probably nothing. I kind of like Bucky/ Winter Soldier as he is. I mean he is a character with different shades and I love him as he is. “

“So no changes at all?” The interviewer asked.

“None.” Seb confirmed.”

“Sebastian, this is actually my question. Recently your wife twitted something.” Seb and the interviewer both looked at the screen.  

Then it was displayed a post which his wife has done few days ago. It was a simple text post-

Bucky Banned!

There was a murmur of excitement among the crowd and everyone were left guessing for the reason. Sebastian simply laughed.

“It’s a long story- “

“We have all the time in the world.” The interviewer put down his cards. Sebastian made himself comfortable before he began his story.

“So few days ago, my wife had some important work and she was going to be late. So I was in charge of our kids. Basically it was me and kids having a daddy day. Under supervision of their nanny.”

At this the audiences laughed.

“So we were doing fine, when I got a call from my wife asking me to pick her up. Her car stopped working and she was at the garage. So I went, picked her up and we both returned. We were just about reach our place when my wife got a call from the nanny asking us to come home immediately.”

“Why? What happened? Was everything alright?”

“At that time we didn’t know, my wife had heard the kids crying in the background. So I hit the peddle and droved as fast I possibly could. When we reached there we were greeted with the sounds of crying babies and teary eyed nanny. Seeing us at the door, both the kids rushed and gave me a tight hug. Their grip was so tight that I could not breathe. My wife comforted the nanny. All this happened in half an hour. I had been out of the house for only half an hour.”

“What? What had happened?”

“See, as soon as I left the kids asked their nanny to switch on the TV. She was putting on of the cartoon channel when they saw that Captain America the First Avenger playing on some channel. They both got excited and she let them watch it. Unfortunately, it was the train scene from where Bucky had the fall.”

“OH my God!”

“Yeah, they saw that and they started flooding the entire house.”

“I cannot believe it.”

“Yeah me too. They now have me under surveillance. They follow me everywhere I go. I have to inform them about my activities. Hell I have to keep the door open of the bathroom when I pee.”

“Oh my God! Oh my God!” everyone was laughing. The interviewer wiped his tears and asked-

“What about our wife? Didn’t she help you out of the situation?”

“Oh she was busy. Laughing. At me.” Sebastian said with a fake annoyed look on his face. He continued-

“So all the movies I did as Bucky is kind of banned at my place. At least my kids understand that it was not real.”

“Sebastian, I hope your kids understand this really quickly because we don’t want them to miss out their father’s one of the best work. Thank you Sebastian for coming to our show.”

“Thank you for having me. You were a great audience guys.” The camera then zoomed in on the interviewer.

“That’s Sebastian Stan ladies and gentlemen! Hopefully next time when we meet him Bucky would be unbanned”
