The Shadow Sholdier

You're bleeding..

We started to talk about Clint and the all the time we spent together at our place.
As we walk into the gym Steve and Bucky are already there. They look at us.
„We're waiting for Wanda, then we'll start." Steve says.
Natasha and I sit down at the bench on the side.
„Can you braid my hair like yours?" I ask.
„Of course! Turn around." she answers.
I do as she says and she starts braiding my hair. Bucky looks over.
After some minutes Wanda rushes in.
„Sorry I'm late." she says and walks to us.
Meanwhile Natasha has finished my hair.
„Looks beautiful." Wanda says as she puts her stuff on the bench.
I smile softly at her.
„Thanks." I say and look at Natasha. „Her skills."
„I'd love to have a hairstyle like that." Wanda says.
„Just ask me."
„Ladies!" Steve shouts.
„Coming." Nat says.
We walk up to them.
I cross my arms and listen to what Steve says.
„Today we're gonna train individually, a suggestion of Y/N." he starts to explain. „Everyone does their own routine, if you need help, just ask."
Out of the corner of my eye I see Bucky looking at me. I surely am not the only one noticing the look in his eyes.
I focus on Steve again.
„We're gonna do two hours today, so think about all the stuff you wanna get done. Well then, let's start." he says.
Everyone nods and distributes in the gym.

I walk to the benches and take my headphones and phone. I take a mat and start stretching as I listen to music. After ca. 10 minutes I stand up and go on with my training routine:
-pull-ups
-lifting weights
-hip thrusts
-boxing a punching bag
I was about to do some planks when Bucky asked for a second round on a one on one. I agreed.
We face eachother in the boxing ring, I have my fists up.
Steve noticed that and walks up to us before we start.
„Guys?" he looks at us.
„Just traning, not really hitting eachother, just perfecting moves, as you said. Remember?" I say.
He raises his eyebrows.
„Don't believe me? Okay, watch." I say and look at Bucky.
He nods and strikes out. I dodge and kick his side lightly. We do some moves until Steve walked away, with the words: „It better be like that."
I smile and we continue to fight.
After some minutes we take a break.
„You got a good technique." Bucky says.
„Thanks, you too." I respond.
„No, but really how do you know what I'm gonna do next?" he asks.
Shit.
Tell him.
Tell him.
Tell him the truth!
„I have a feeling for that." I answer. „Many people use the same techniques and don't individualize it, so it's easy to fight someone who uses the same basic technique, knowing that they cannot possibly know what my next attacks are."
„Wow, now that's an answer." he says.
„Wanna do another one?" I ask to get off topic.
„Sure."
I nod and walk to one side of the boxing ring. I sigh in relief and turn around. He's standing on the other side. None of us moves. I look at him with a poker face. He smirks before he eventually runs up to me.
I'm standing still, he strikes out and shortly before he actually hits me, I just take a step to the left and see how he crashes into the ropes. I chuckle slightly as he looks at me.
„Don't say anything." he says.
I shrug and put my fists up.
„Oh so now we're playing, huh?"
I smirk.
„Depends on you.." I say.
Bucky shakes his head slightly as he smirks and strikes out. I dodge again and hit his torso.
„Ugh."
I take a step back and wait for his next move, even tho I know what it is, but maybe he changed something.
He strikes out on the left, I step to the right, he strikes right, I step left.
„Oh come on!" I say. „You're so predictable.."
I hit his face so he bends back and trip him to make him fall.
He grunts as he hits the ground.
„Такой большой мужчина с множеством мускулов..."
(„Such a big man with many muscles..")
I say as I walk towards him.
„Но он не может перестать падать на землю"
(„But can't stop falling on the ground.")
I give him my hand so that he can get up.
„такой большой рот для кого-то твоего размера."
(„Such a big mouth for someone your size.")
He takes my hand.
„это так?"
(„Is that so?")
I say and let go of his hand, so he falls back again.
I hear Natasha laughing.
I take my eyes off him and look at her.
„вы должны знать, что вы оба не единственные, кто умеет говорить по-русски."
(„You should know that you both are not the only ones, knowing how to speak russian.")
„How long were you watching us?" I ask.
„Long enough.." she answers,
Meanwhile Bucky has stood up.
„I think we're done for today." I say and face him again. „Was a good fight."
I hold him my hand.
He looks at me and raises a eyebrow.
„It's real this time, just take it."
He does so and I go out if the boxing ring.
I walk to the bench and sit down, drinking some of my water. Bucky walks up to me.
„Thanks for embarrassing me infront of Natasha." he says and sits down next to me.
„Natasha, huh?" I say and smirk.
He looks at me and sighs.
„No- not in that way!"
„Yeah, of course not.." I tease him.
„No, really not. There's someone else." he says quietly and looks at the others training.
„I'm just kidding.." I say quietly, putting the bottle aside.
We both watch them do their routine for some minutes.
Noone says a word.
I check the time.
„It's only 20 minutes left.." I say and look at him. „Ima go on with training, you?"
„Yeah, I'm gonna do something too."
„Okay."
I stand up and walk off, looking at him a last time.

I walk to my mat and just wanted to start doing planks, when Natasha walked up to me.
„That was pretty good." she says.
„I know." I respond smirking as I start doing planks.
She chuckles and sits down next to me.
„So Bucky and you..?" Nat says and looks at me.
„What?!" I fall on my face after she said this.
She smiles.
I sit up.
„No." I say and look at her.
„You sure? That sounded very clear to me."
My gaze wanders to Bucky, who's talking to Steve now.
„I've only known him for a few days. I don't even think Bucky and I are some kind of friends." I say and do planks again.
„Seems like you both know eachother for decades."
„We don't."
„Have you seen how he looks at you?" she asks.
„Stop it."
„I'm jus-."
„I said stop it!" I say sharp and death stare her.
She's immediately quiet.
I look down on the ground.
„You don't know nothing about me or my past." I whisper.
„Steve was right, you're not the Y/N I knew." Natasha says and stands up.
I don't look at her.
She walks off.
I put on my headphones and listen to music as I walk to a punching bag by a edge of the gym, away from the others.
I start to punch it, harder and harder everytime my hands hit it.
„Ugh!"
I kick and punch it as hard as I can.
She knows nothing, so does Bucky!
I lied, that's all I did.
Nobody knows who I am, not even me.
I take off my headphones, I don't want to break them.
I step back and sigh, before I literally attack the punching bag.
„Hey Y/N, we're-."
„Argh!"
„Y/N?"
I turn around, I noticed now that someone's standing there, it's Steve.
„Are you alright?" he asks.
I don't answer and turn him my back.
His footsteps are coming closer.
I put up my fists.
„No, don't.."
He walks up to me.
„..you're bleeding." he says and takes my hands.
I didn't even realised that I was bleeding.
„What happened?"
„Nothing." I say crude and walk off without looking at him.
