Trying something new - Avengersxreader - SEQUEL ON HOLD

- 17 - Home sweet home

You woke up to the sound of the TV. Bucky was already dressed up and your bag was on a chair next to him. He probably went to your room to get it. You moved a little to see the clock on the wall and gasped when you realized the time. Why did no one wake you up ? You were supposed to leave in the morning and you should have already been back home by now. 

You were still tired. Even if the night had started pretty well, you didn’t sleep that much. You woke up many times, scared that someone may have followed you and was going to kill you. Bucky helped you fall back to sleep each time, telling you it was normal and that he was not going anywhere, but you had a feeling he didn’t get much rest because of you. 

“Why are we still here ? Did something happen to the plane ?” Bucky turned the TV off and came to sit next to you. 

“Bad weather. The pilot didn’t feel comfortable flying back. That’s why we spent the night here in the first place.” With everything that happened, you didn’t even notice how bad the weather was when you got to the hotel. He leaned in to kiss you and you couldn’t help but smile. “How are you feeling today ?”

“Good, I guess.” You’d probably feel a lot better once you’d be at home. You pointed at your bag. “Did you get my phone, too ?”

“I think Sam put it with the rest of your stuff. He brought it here before he left to get food.” 

“Sam. Sam brought my bag here.” You put your head in your hands and headed to the bathroom. “I need a shower. I need the shame off of my skin.” You closed the door behind you and heard Bucky laugh. 

You hopped in the shower and heard a knock, followed by someone entering the room. 

“He said he filed a proper complaint to the owners. He thinks the whole building should be demolished and rebuilt with thicker walls.” For a moment, you wished you had been struck by lightning the day before. 

When you got out of the bathroom, you found them talking on the couch. You and Sam looked at each other for a minute, then he stood up.

“First, I despise you. You two are disgusting.” His hands were moving around from Bucky to you. “Second, you need to eat.” He handed you a paper bag with a sandwich and you realized you were actually starving. “You’ll eat that in the car, the jet’s ready. They’re waiting for us in New York.”

When you got on the plane, you weren’t as scared as you were the first time. Maybe you’d try to look down again. And you decided to stay awake and listen to everything Sam was going to say. Perhaps he had some information on you being fired for good or being put in a cell when you got back. At least Adam would keep you company. You’d become best friends and you’d make plans to escape together. Maybe you could try to ask Bucky for help too.

It was already dark when you entered the building. It should have been empty by now, but there was a whole welcoming committee. Bruce, Happy and Mrs Potts were standing next to Lucy at her desk. You had no idea why she was still there, but you were glad to see her. The moment she saw you, she ran to hug you. 

“Are you ok ? I texted you yesterday but you didn’t reply, so I guessed you were sleeping, but you said that you’d be back in the morning but you didn’t come for a coffee so I texted you again but you still didn’t reply. Did you charge your phone ? I mean, I was super scared. And Mrs Potts said she couldn’t tell me anything so I went to see Mr Hogan but he said the same thing, so I ended up in the lab. I had to see that guy I dated last time. Really I don’t know why I accepted to go on a date with him. Anyway, Dr Banner didn’t tell me anything either. So I just stayed here until you came back, but they still won’t tell me anything !” She finally decided to take a deep breath. You had never seen her so agitated. She must have been really worried. But she was right, you didn’t charge your phone. “You look fine. Are you ? I mean, fine ?”
