Bucky woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. He turned to hug Micky like he usually did when he got nightmares but there was no one to hug. Confussed, he sat up and looked around, only to remember that he wasn't with Micky anymore. He looked down, not really knowing what to do. Watching Micky sleep or hugging her was what usually calmed him down. He sighed standing up and reached for the locket watch, he opened it revealing Micky's picture

He wanted her, but at the same time, he knew it was selfish. He couldn't be with her until he had become a better man and Hydra was wipped out

He laid back in his bed and stared at the ceiling, he stayed like that for hours until he noticed a little bit of sunlight. He stood up and walked to the floor's small kitchen. There was no coffee machine so he decided to try the main kitchen in the lobby. It was too early for some of the avengers, so there was no one else. He made coffee and took a mug to drink it, he heard shuffle from behind and turned only to see Dr. Banner still wearing the previous day's clothes

"Ah, sorry. I didn't know you were here" the doctor apologised "Good morning"

"Good morning, doctor" Bucky greeted politely "Want some coffee?"

"That'd be amazing actually, thank you" Bruce said and Bucky passed him a mug with coffee

"Bucky, uh, can I call you 'Bucky'?" Bruce asked

"Sure" Bucky said with a shrug

"I-I know this will seem very insensitive from me, but Tony and I are really curious about your arm. Do you think we could check it out some time?" Bruce asked. Bucky gpanced at his arm

"Yeah, of course" Bucky said with a shrug

"You seem very different from the Winter Soldier Natasha told us about" Bruce said

"It's been some time" Bucky said

"What happened during that time?" Bruce asked

"Well, um. I ran away from Hydra. Tried to find who I really was, who I am suppossed to be" Bucky said "I had a normal life for a while" he admitted, he then frowned "I forgot to quit my job"

"You had a job?" Bruce asked surprised

"Who had a job?" Another voice joined them. It was Sam "Wait, you had a job?" He asked Buky. Bucky nodded

"As a self defence instructor in a gym" Bucky said

"Yeah, kind of makes sense" Sam agreed pouring himself some coffee. Sam's stomach then growled "Sorry" he apologized

"I can make breakfast" Bucky said setting his mug in the table. Bruce and Sam stared a him shocked

"Really?" Sam asked

"Yeah" Bucky shrugged and opened the cabinets. Sam and Bruce kept glancing at each other and Bucky. Bucky then walked to the fridge and opened it inspecting the ingredients he had to work with "I can make pancakes, hotcakes, crepes, french bread, omelettes or eggs"

"Really?" Sam repeated

"I promise I won't poison them" Bucky joked. Sam and Brice still glanced at each other "I was joking"

Steve had woken u0 around 6 and went directly for a run. He then took a shower and asked JARVIS where Bucky was. He was shocked to learn he was in the main kitchen with Sam and Bruce. He instantly went to join them. He was expecting an uncomfortable looking Bucky and Sam trying hard to make a joke, he wasn't expecting them to be laughing and having a good time. He heard the men laugh. He also recognised Clint's voice

"Wait, and then what happened?" Clint asked

"Well, we were late for breakfast. My siblings had already gone ahead of us and we were covered in flour, as white as ghosts" Bucky said

"What did your mothers say?" Bruce asked

"They were so mad at us. The cake looked horrible but they wanted to be nice so they tried it" Bucky said

"And how was it?" Sam asked

"Amazingy enough, it was good" Bucky said and they laughed. Steve entered confussed

"What's with all the laughing?" He asked with a smile

"Bucky told us about the first time you two tried to bake" Clint said. Steve's face was full of shock

"The strawberries cake?" Steve asked

"Yep. You were little trouble makers" Bruce said

"We were like 10" Steve defended himself

"You were 11, pal, I was 12" Bucky pointed out

"Steve, you gotta try the crepes Bucky did. I wish I could cook like him" Sam said

"Since when can you cook?" Steve asked Bucky

"Technically speaking, since I was 16" Bucky said

"Tasha, come taste this" Clint called Natasha over. No one had noticed her before, probably just as she wanted to. Bucky tensed, he knew perfectly well she didn't like him. Natasha walked and sat next to Clint taking a sweet crepe and trying it

"Not bad, soldier" Natasha compimented and Bucky relaxed

"Who made a party and didn't invite me?" Tony said walking in "Damn, it smells delicious"

"Bucky cooked" Bruce said "and he also agreed to let us check out his arm later"

"Really?" Tony asked and Bruce nodded "Sweet. I like this guy already"

"Are you sure you will let Tony possibly play with your arm?" Steve asked

"He's Howard's kid. It's the least I can do" Bucky said trying to hide the sadness in his voice, but it didn't go unnoticed by Steve

"Sir, there is a helicopter asking to land in the Tower" JARVIS said

"Who's on board?" Tony asked with a mouth full of foor

"Mr. Fury, Nicholas J." Bucky tensed up, his eyes going wide

"Let him land" Tony said

"He's alive?" Bucky asked shocked

"Yes. He is. We would appreciate it if you don't try to kill him again" Natasha said bluntly earning a glare from Steve

"I won't" Bucky said seriously "I told you, I came because I want to redeem myself. No more Hydra. No more killing"

"Let's see what he thinks" Natasha said

"Now" Eeryone turned tobsee no other thay Nick Fury standing by the door frame. Bucky gluped "I think we need to have a talk, Seargent Barnes"
