It's Magic (Steve R., Bucky B., Thor) Book 1

32.

Nobodies POV

Daenerys helps Bucky into a clean suit.

"Who are you." Bucky ask his voice heavy unlike before where it was mostly Brooklyn, it was more Russian.

Hurt hits her chest, she didn't expect that.

"I'm Daenerys and you are." Daenerys ask, she looks at the camera at the corner in the room and then back at Bucky.

"Call me Winter." Winter says

Unlike last time, he wants her to call him by that. Winter doesn't understand why.

Daenerys smiles softly, noticing the difference.

"Nice to meet you Winter." Daenerys says

....

Winter was surrounded by Hydra agents, they led him to the jet.

Winter glances at Daenerys.

Daenerys stands at the end of the hall, watching him leave, a sad smile at her lips.

"Good luck soldier" Daenerys says

Winters breath hitches at his throat, something warm filling his gut. Winter wanted to reach out towards her, to hold her but one of the Hydra agents push him foward.

All Winter knew was; he' going to come back for her.

....

Steve stands on a bridge and has a flashback to the time he spent with Bucky after Steve's mother's funeral.

....

"We looked for you after. My folks wanted to give you a ride to the cemetery." Bucky says

They walk towards Steve's apartment.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just...kind of wanted to be alone." Steve says "How was it?" Bucky ask

"It was okay. She's next to Dad." Steve says

"I was gonna ask..." Bucky says "I know what you're gonna say, Buck, I just..." Steve says

"We can put the couch cushions on the floor like when we were kids. It'll be fun. All you gotta do is shine my shoes, maybe take out the trash." Bucky says

As they get to the apartment door, Steve tries to find his keys, Bucky kicks a brick aside, picks up the apartment keys from under it and gives it to Steve.

"Come on." Bucky says

"Thank you, Buck, but I can get by on my own." Steve says "The thing is, you don't have to." Bucky says

Bucky gives Steve a friendly pat on the shoulder.

"I'm with you to the end of the line, pal." Bucky says.

....

Steve's thoughts of Bucky are interrupted as Sam joins him on the bridge.

"He's gonna be there, you know?" Sam ask

"I know." Steve says

"Look, whoever he used to be, the guy he is now, I don't think he's the kind you save. He's the kind you stop." Sam says

"I don't know if I can do that." Steve says "Well, he might not give you a choice. He doesn't know you." Sam says
