Fate that wasn’t meant for you…
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Summary: After almost 50 years of separation, they finally reunite.
Warnings: angst, fluff, mentions of death, emotional,
This is kinda inspired by the song ‘loch lomond’
Not Prof read so let me know of any mistakes I guess.
The minute steve marched back into the base without Bucky by his side gave it away.
Or maybe it was the fact that he was tearing up.
Either way, she wasn’t ready to hear it.
That he wasn’t ever going to come home again.
Well… at least until they ran into each other In Wakanda nearly 50 years later.
—-
Cold.
That’s what she felt.
The cold that resides in loneliness. Her soon to be husband was gone. She was alone.
He broke his promise.
She knelt in front of the army men, head down. She felt to numb to cry, so instead she just stared at the ground, her throat hurt too much to speak.
Steve knew how she felt, he felt the same way as her…
They were all friends sense birth, all with each other till the end of the line.
He dropped down with her, hugging her shaking form. Only then did her guard break down, releasing a stream of sobs. She’s never cried that hard before.
She hugged Steve back and they both clung to one and other for dear life.
He was going to be by her side through everything… he promised himself,
Which would soon be broken when she got kidnapped by hydra agents.
For weeks he searched,
But once he had to land the space craft into the ice,
Her and Bucky were lost to him,
Until recently.
—————
He found her first, during Ultron, she was kept with the twins.
Having the super solider serum, along with powers of her own. Once he got her to remember him, she explained everything that happened to him.
And then the grief that she pushed down, the Greif for Bucky, came back up.
Shortly after, she went to Wakanda, to be rehabilitated.
And it worked, She was getting her mind back. The Greif for her long lost fiancé never really left tho.
—-
After he found Bucky, he had to make sure he could fix what hydra did before she was aware that he was still alive.
When Bucky walked off that space craft, he felt the air shift. Maybe it was the new scenery? No, this was something he’s felt before.
Steve didn’t tell him she was alive, he wanted to get the annoying fighting out of the way first.
——————
“This is where you will be staying for during your visit Mr. Barnes. I trust you will find it comfortable”. T’Challa smirked as he turned and started to walk back to his home.
Bucky yelled a quick thank you, and started towards.
Suddenly, everything and nothing made sense.
It was her.
The her, that he never got to say goodbye to.
She turned around, dropping the things in her hands, body going limp with shock.
Both of their hair was longer.
Faces older.
But it was him. And it was her.
Their faces both dropped.
They both took small steps forwards, eyes never leaving each other’s.
When they were close, she reached up, and touched his cheek slowly.
His hand gently fell on top of hers, his movements also slow.
They didn’t speak, not for a few moments.
Seemingly understanding each other’s desire to just sit in remembrance.
When the moments did past, she was the first to speak.
“James?” Her voice cracked, as tears slowly pooled from her eyes. His weren’t dry either.
He said her name with the same flavor. It felt different. He hasn’t said it in years.
Their hands began to feel each other’s hands, arms, and faces.
“We both broke our promise”.

Chapter 3:
Bucky didn’t see her for the next 24 hours. He had casually walked by her room on multiple occasions, or stayed in common spaces in hopes that they would run into each other, but neither helped.
So when Steve asked if he had seen her around, he didn’t have anything to share.
“I bet she’s taking a walk. She does that when she needs to think better or decompress,” Steve nodded. “Up for an evening walk around the compound?”
Bucky didn’t have to think twice. Something about her was just extremely intriguing and kept him wanting to know more and more about her as well as be around her. He was yearning for the calm energy she showed him.
They had walked at least a mile and there was no sight of her. Then a loud bark made them turn their heads.
Off in the distance, Y/N was throwing a ball for her dog that was now with her. But the closer the two looked, she wasn’t throwing it with her hand. A white light that was her power was picking it up and chunking the ball so far in front of her, Ryker practically disappeared in the distance as he chased after the toy.
She was in a pair of leggins with an old sweatshirt that she had placed her hands into after she launched Ryker’s tennis ball. She had her hair up in a bun with a head scarf wrapped through it making it a messy yet fashionable updo. To keep up with the cool weather, she had on a set of duck hiking boots that had cabin socks coming out of the top of them.
“She, uh, she didn’t mention being mad at me still when you guys talked, did she?” Steve asked, nerves showing in his question as he watched her from a distance.
“You didn’t come up, bud,” Bucky answered, upset his words wouldn’t reassure him like he hoped.
“Right,” he nodded, knowing that was probably the case, but he wanted to check anyway.
A second later than needed, they started making their way to her. Ryker was running up from the distance he just ran.
He dropped the ball, looked at the men and gave his mom a look of, “Should I do something?” Y/N shook off the look, showing no need for the protection, and threw the ball for him again. He barked before taking off, following the command.
“Nice day out,” Steve said, and Bucky had to take a double take of the awkward anxiety that riddled his voice.
“I’ve never cared for the winter as everything dies, but right before Fall sets in, the cooler temperatures are always nice,” she nodded, still looking off where Ryker had gone. Her hands back in the jacket pocket and face not giving any tell about how she felt in this situation.
There was awkward silence as they stood there not knowing the next form of small talk to take on.
They stayed like that long enough that Ryker had come back from his sprint. It was like he sensed the tension himself as he looked between the three with his tennis ball still in his mouth.
“I don’t think he remembers me,” Steve said. “When we came by, it was the first time ever he treated me like a threat…”
Ryker had sat next to his mom and looked up at Steve. The look of a protector from the first reunion was gone, but instead just a mellow canine sat in front of him.
“I trained him to treat everyone that came on our land uninvited as a threat. Avengers included,” she answered. “Didn’t think you guys would be dumb enough to show up, but yet again, it was stupid of me to think that.”
“Y/N, I’m sorry about the whole-” Steve started, overcome with guilt from his actions.
She raised a hand cutting him off and shook her head before looking at him finally.
“I know it wasn’t you, Steve. I’m not upset about your visit anymore. I know you, and I understand what your intentions were,” she said.
“Still, I didn’t mean to invade your privacy-” he began again, worried that he needed to elaborate on his actions.
“It’s fine, Steve. Truly, it’s fine,” she cut him off again, shaking her head and giving him the softest smile. “I blame one person and even then, I’m starting to wonder if I should be angry with them.”
“Stark?”
“Who else?” she let out a small chuckle and grabbed the ball from Ryker before chunking it again.
This time Bucky looked at how her powers appeared and noticed it was a white light that encased the ball, but looking closer, there were colors from the whole rainbow zipping through the essence of the lumination.
“You know he feels bad, right?” Steve said, ever the peacemaker.
She ignored his comment and stayed staring where Ryker had gone. Bucky took note of the sore subject and changed it.
“I’m guessing you’re staying longer, if you picked him up,” Bucky nodded his head toward the dog and put his hands in his pockets.
“Not sure how long I’ll be here. Depends on the mission. But I went to pick him up last night, and have been holed up in my room since. Figured we both deserved some fresh air,” she nodded.
“Do you need help with anything?” Steve asked cautiously, worried he would cross a boundary by asking.
“Not right now. I’m still trying to figure out a few things,” she answered and Bucky could practically see the conflict flashing through her mind.
When she didn’t say anything, lost in thought, Steve spoke up.
“Well, if you do, you know who you can reach out to.”
Her lips slowly formed a surprisingly gentle smile and she looked back at Steve with a thankful look.
“I know. Thank you,” she said delicately. “It’s just been…” she looked where Ryker was coming back. “It’s been a lot.”
When the rottweiler was in front of them, he went straight to Steve and sat at his feet. He looked up at him with a small head tilt before nodding up as if asking him to take the ball.
“He remembers you,” Y/N reassured. “He just knows protecting me above all.”
Steve smiled before kneeling down and petting his head.
“You had me worried there for a second, boy,” Steve smirked, immediately getting a lick from him as he dropped the ball and forgot it.
Bucky watched as Steve reunited with the dog, and the thought of having a pet crept into his mind. He’d never considered having a pet given the lifestyle, but apparently Y/N had Ryker in her time of fighting, so maybe it was possible. A dog like Ryker would be ideal. He loved the big athletic ones, but maybe a cat… You could leave them alone for days and they would be fine.
Being lost in thought, he didn’t notice Ryker moving onto him and sniffing and smiling at him as dogs do.
“He likes you,” Y/N noted. “Usually takes more than one meeting before he eases up around people.”
Bucky looked at Y/N before the copper face of Ryker. He didn’t know dogs could smile, but the look he gave him was definitely a dog version of a grin. He bent down and scratched behind the dog’s ear, getting a grunt that showed he enjoyed the attention.
“Hey, we’re making dinner again tonight. Sam, Nat, and Clint will be there this time,” Steve said, hinting at her joining.
She sighed, “I have a lot of research I need to get done.”
“We can help,” Steve offered again. “I’m sure Nat would love to.”
“I know she will. I’ll probably have to take her up on that. The tech here updates every two seconds it feels like and I’ve had some hiccups,” she nodded.
“Think about it. We’d love to catch up with you and hang out,” Steve said. “Plus, I think Sam said something about your favorite meal.”
“Is that so?” she smirked. “Becoming a big time chef around here, huh?”
“He really wants to see you,” Steve smiled, crossing his arms.
“I’ll consider it.”
Steve and Bucky excused themselves after that, and Bucky watched as Y/N began walking around the compound with Ryker staying close by.
__________________
Later that evening, Sam took his time perfecting the meal in hopes that every detail would convince her more and more to come out of her room, even if she wasn’t there to watch him analyze every step of the recipe.
Once they were all in their seats with their own servings, there still wasn’t any sign of her coming in. Almost every person at the table would look up and check the doorway in hopes she would appear at some point.
They were halfway through the meal, and slowly losing faith she would come, when they suddenly heard the clicking of a dog’s nails on the hard floor.
Every head turned and as soon as Ryker came around the corner, he pranced over to the table with his tail wagging.
Seconds after, Y/N came around in a matching set of linen loungewear. She had her hair still up in a bun and the headscarf had been wrapped around her head and hair in an intricate and professional way. As if she had done it a million times before, which was probably true.
“Hey! There she is! We were wondering if you’d ever come out of your cave,” Sam bursted from his seat and rushed to her.
She gave him a smile in return and opened her arms up as Sam enveloped her in a hug.
“Good to see you too, Zazu,” she giggled as he lifted her up slightly off the ground.
“That nickname still? Seriously?” he groaned, putting her back down gently.
“When you stop flying through the sky with giant wings, I’ll pick something else out for you,” she winked, patting his arm and moving to the group of people sitting 10 feet away from them.
Bucky had to grin at that because who didn’t love to see Sam get picked on? Plus, he had a new name to use against him.
“Hey, guys,” she said softly, as if waiting for a reaction she wasn’t sure of.
Bucky could feel a sense of uncertainty and restlessness coming from her. Clearly she was nervous about the long coming reunion.
Nat was the first to stand, and on her face was a solid blank face. No one could tell what was coming.
Yet, no one was surprised by the smirk that pulled at her lip before she leaned in for a hug. The two stayed attached to each other, and if you looked close enough, Nat let the smallest shiver pass through her, and Bucky knew that was Y/N’s doing.
It was like a small force of feelings she had felt over the time they weren’t together, ending with an apology.
“рада видеть тебя снова, сестра,” she whispered. (Glad to see you again, sister.)
“Ты тоже, красивая,” Y/N replied. (You too, beautiful.)
Y/N turned back to the family at the table. All of them sharing soft and welcoming smiles.
“I guess, we have a lot to talk about,” she laughed softly, with a shrug.
“Just a little,” Clint responded.
____________________________
Two hours flew by of the group catching up. Bucky took it as time to learn more about her from the Avenger perspective.
He figured out she could fly using her powers and apparently she and Sam would have races, but she always let him win even though she could easily beat him.
He learned that she was like an animal whisperer when it came to nature. The team had stories upon stories of her doing things like calling a swarm of birds to attack someone, to putting a bear to sleep by just a wave of a hand.
There were a lot of war stories, but most of all, he liked learning about what she was like when the superhero suit came off.
She liked to make tea for everyone anytime she was making herself one. Most of the time, making sure it was her own herbs and ingredients as she loved to garden and was an herbalist. Each one of her blends served a different purpose from giving you energy, helping you sleep, or stress relief and many others.
Though he had just learned that if she wasn’t in her room, she was likely outside, he didn’t realize the reason was because the earth’s energy aided her.
Much like humans, if you’re stressed out or need a second to breathe, you usually go outside for fresh air. Considering Y/N’s powers came from the earth itself, that fresh air was more than just a cool down. It actually healed and grounded her.
Oh, and the hair with the head scarf thing? Not that it was weird or strange, but it was done in such a manner that looked purposeful and important. It wasn’t just another accessory to add to an outfit. Considering her background of witches, and the fact she is affected by the energy of those around them, it’s a form of protection.
It’s called veiling. Empaths and people who tend to soak up others emotions and feelings use it as a way to protect them from overstimulation. It’s also a way to keep off evil and negative energy.
He also found that her superhero name/ nickname, gracefully given to her by Tony, was Everest. Of course because of the source of her power, at a cave encased by the great mountain itself.
According to Tony, the real reason was because she was as stubborn as trying to move the mountain itself. It just helps that her powers also relate back to it.
As much as she and the group took time to reminisce of the old days, she made sure that the conversation wasn’t just about her. She had diverted the discussion multiple times to ask how everyone else was doing and what she had missed out on.
From there she learned that Clint had moved his family upstate, but they still had a farm out in the middle of nowhere. They were still under the radar, but it gave him better access to the compound in case of a big emergency. He had retired for about 3 years after his family came back, but now since they were older, he found time to come up and do missions if needed.
Nat had really just kept busy with life. She couldn’t seem to get away from it even if she wanted to. After the whole thing with the soul stone, when Steve went back to return them, she was brought back. She took a year off, somewhat, as her therapist said she needed time to, but the only way she saw to move on from it was to work. Which meant pushing it away in a dark place. Y/N could feel she was still affected by it, but she didn’t say anything as she clearly had avoided the topic.
Steve, Sam, and Bucky had continued the life of superheros.
After the final battle, Steve took a step back and let Sam take the reins a little more. He figured most of his life had been fighting battle after battle and he thought, maybe living more of an actual life would be beneficial.
He made time to work at the senior citizen home as a volunteer art teacher. He wasn’t certified in anything specific, but he was a great artist, extremely patient with the seniors, and could relate to some things with them. That and who was going to say no to Captain America offering to help in something?
Because Sam had been given more duties, his workload had gone up. He didn’t mind it though. He was really enjoying it and loved being able to swoop in and save the day where needed. He had been on call for a lot of missions as of recently and the adrenaline of being Captain for most of them still hadn’t worn off.
And Bucky? Well she had heard how Bucky was liking it here. He wasn’t great at hiding the fact that he was still in all this because of the guilt, but everyone (besides Y/N) didn’t really pick up on it.
They figured he was doing it because he was needed and because he was still in it for the fight. Which in a sense he was, but if given the opportunity to walk away and live a quiet life again like Wakanda, he would…
“Well, guys, I love you all, but I’m getting old. Which means, it’s time for bed,” Clint announced, being the first to stand.
“It’s 9 o'clock,” Sam checked his watch.
“Which means it’s already an hour past bedtime,” Clint winked. He leaned over Y/N’s shoulder from the back and gave her a kiss on the top of her head. “It was good seeing you, Y/N/N.”
“Good to see you too, Barton,” she squeezed the hand that was on her shoulder. “Get some rest.”
He nodded in agreement and walked out.
“I think I’m going to follow after him,” she sighed, cleaning the area of her dirty dinner plate.
“Don’t worry about that. I’ll clean up,” Steve volunteered.
“You sure?” she asked, still standing with her plate in hand.
“We got it,” Bucky nodded, taking the plate from her since he was right next to her. “You head on to bed.”
Ryker, who had been at Y/N’s feet most the night besides bouncing from each person, let out a soft bark to Bucky before sending him a canine smile.
“He’s not quite ready for bed himself it sounds like,” Y/N chuckled patting his head. “I’m going to take him out one more time.”
“Need company?” Nat asked, standing with her.
Y/N smiled at her before nodding.
“У меня есть несколько вопросов к тебе, сестра.” (I have a few questions for you, sister.)
“Я должен беспокоиться?” (Should I be worried?)
“Always,” Y/N winked before turning back to the rest of the group. “Thank you boys for the meal. I forgot how much moments like this are really needed… Truly, I needed this.”
“We needed it too I think,” Sam smiled.
They shared a look before Y/N said her good nights and Nat and her walked outside.
“You think she’ll be staying long?” Sam asked while they cleaned.
“You mean past her mission?” Steve responded, beginning to put dishes in the dishwasher.
“Yeah.”
“Couldn’t tell ya,” Steve sighed. “I hope she does, but she seems pretty set on being out of this life.”
“You don’t think getting back in it one more time will change her mind?” Sam questioned.
“She’s been fighting for a long time, Sam,” Steve shrugged. “I know I can’t fully leave it, but I haven’t been at it a quarter of what she has. I don’t blame her for wanting normalcy.”
From the conversation Bucky had with her, he had to side with Steve on this one. She was here for one thing only and that was the next puzzle piece he wanted to solve.
