God of Thunder (An Avengers/Thor Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Bucky's POV

"No you didn't, they died in a car accident," he tries to convince me even though he knows I killed them

"I caused the accident. I killed them," I whisper, "I'm a monster."

"Bucky, you are not a monster. You did things that were out of your control. Hydra brainwashed you. It's not your fault," he tells me.

"Should I tell him?"

"I don't know, Buck. He might not want you to stay here."

"I need to tell him. I feel like it's a process of my healing."

"Bucky, if you need to do that to allow yourself to heal, them I'm all for it. Do you want me to be in here with you?"

"No, but would you go get him?"

Steve leaves my room and walks down the hallway. I brace myself for this revelation and prepare for him to kick me out. I hear their footsteps quickly approaching.

"You wanted to talk to me?" he asks.

"Yes, you're probably not going to like this, and you'll probably hate me," I lead into it.

"What is it?" he questions.

"I think I caused the car accident," I whisper.

"What...?" he asks, then a look of realization crosses his face. "Um... I appreciate you telling me."

"If you want me to leave, I will."

"Bucky, that's not needed, okay? Yes, I'm hurt, but you didn't do it. Okay, you did, but you were forced to. Hydra had you under their control."

"I can leave. I understand if you want me to."

"I said it was fine. But if you keep saying that, I will make you leave," he threatens.

I feverishly nod my head and my hair falls in my face. "Do you want me to give you a haircut?"

I push my hair out of my face and look up at him. "Would you? I feel like my hair keeps me attached to Hydra. And this arm, but I can't really do without it."

"I sure can cut your hair. And I can find a way to cover the star, if you'd like."

"I can't believe that you're helping me after what I just told you."

"Well, considering you just got here and you just came right out and told me, I respect that. And me cutting your hair is just me being a good host. I offered to help with your arm because it still has the red star and I think that makes people uncomfortable."

"Can we do it now?"

"Yep. Follow me."

He leads me out of my room and down the hallway. He walks into a very large bathroom and tells me to sit down. Tony pulls out a hair clipper and turns it on. He rubs it up the back of my head and I feel the locks of hair drop onto my neck. Soon enough, he's done and gives me a mirror. I look like the old Bucky again.

Elsi's POV

Nat and I've been at this base for three months and we haven't found anything more. We haven't been assigned our jobs yet, so we're leaving. As Nat and I are packing up our stuff, someone knocks on the door.

I open it to see Brock standing there. He looks me up and down then starts talking. "Go out with me tonight," he says, smirking.

"I can't."

"Why not? I told you what happened was just a test. I'm not really like that."

"Beth and I are leaving."
