Time: For a sister reunion
Place: Budapest

Bucky was standing quite awkwardly as he watched the intense battle that had erupted between Yelena and Natasha, with the two of them smashing plates on top of each other, throwing knives at each other, quite literally tossing each other around like ragdolls. He simply didn't have any idea whether or not this was normal behavior from sisters when fighting. He had never fought with his younger sister like this ever, but then again, it's not the 1940s anymore, People were a lot more "unhinged nowadays" as Sam would say.

His eyes widened as he watched the altercation escalate, with both Natasha and Yelena strangling each other, both going quite red in the face, he was about to step in when Natasha suddenly called out,

"перемирие"
(Truce) She said as she let go
of the material they were both
using to strangle each other with.

Yelena coughed as she gasped for air.
Nats eyes scanned Yelena's features, she looked the same but older of course. Nat unwrapped the material from around her neck even though it was no longer being pulled it still felt suffocating.

"ты вырос" Nat spoke in Russian.

Yelena rolled her eyes, Natasha hadn't seen her in nearly 20 years and the first thing she had to say to Yelena is "you've grown up".

"ни хрена" Yelena grumbled back as
she stood up and headed towards the
kitchen of the apartment, she needed
a drink. A strong one.

Bucky rushed over to Nat, helping her to her feet and given her the once over for injuries, despite her reassuring him she was absolutely fine. The two of them followed Yelena into the kitchen where the girl was necking a bottle of vodka.

"You just had to come here
of all places?" Nat asked her.

"I came here because I thought you wouldn't! Guess I was wrong. What's with
The winter soldier, he your boyfriend?" Yelena offered Bucky a shot of vodka but he shook his head no.

Nat scoffed, "he's not the winter soldier, his name is Bucky and no I'm not dating
Him. He's a good friend and he's here for back up"

Yelena nods.

"While we're here, what bullet does that?"
Yelena asked pointing to the large holes in the wall opposite.

"Not bullets arrows" Bucky answered for Nat, he recognized the marks on the walls from Clint's trick arrows.

"So if you didn't think I would come why did you send me these?" Nat asked as she emptied her pockets revealing the red vials .

"Why the fuck would you bring that
back here?" Yelena growled angrily.

"What is it?" Bucky questioned.

"It's a counteragent to chemical subjugation the gas immunizes the brains neutral pathways from external manipulation" Yelena answered his question.

"Huh?" Bucky frowned, he didn't understand anything the blonde had just said.

"Maybe in English next time Yelena" Nat said sarcastically, she didn't understand the
Blonde either.

"IT ANTIDOTE THAT CONTROL YOUR SINAPSY" Yelena yelled slightly agitated.

"Haha real mature" Nat shook her head
"Why exactly did you send these to me?"

"I don't know maybe one of your science friends can look at it, Tony Stark maybe" Yelena shrugged.

"Nows not the best time. He's not exactly
happy with us right now" Buck said awkwardly.

"Of course he's not, that's just my luck" Yelena snapped, she was relying on Nat and her friends to help her but so far it wasn't looking as though that was going to be a possibility. "you know I kept waiting for you and your friends to take down the red"

"I thought we had taken it down 15 years ago. I only found out Dreykov was still alive last week, I'm sorry I thought he was dead"
Nat spoke truthfully,"Can we talk properly?"

"Not here. Dreykov knows I'm in Baudapest
We need to get out the city" Yelena told her.

"The quinjet can get us to Romanian in about 40 minutes. I know a place we can
Lay low and grab some food" Bucky offers.

——

After he had landed the quinjet and hid it out of sight from civilians Bucky lead Nat and Yelena to a nearby restaurant, it was little rough but after he got out of Hydras mind control and he was on the run from Steve the owner of the restaurant had been a kind soul, allowing Bucky to take up temporary residence in the upstairs apartment. He had formed a great friendship with the older man,Antonio, he had helped Bucky a lot during a rough time of his life.

"Ant" Bucky called over to the man old man
who was clearing a table in the outside area.

"Bucky esti tu?" The man spoke in Romanian, his eyes full of surprise.

"singurul și singurul" Bucky smiled as the man pulled him into a hug.

Nat was a little taken a back by Bucks Romanian, she wasn't aware he spoke any other languages but Russian and English. Yelena and Nat both watched the men in confusion as they continued to talk in Romanian. Bucky caught on to their confusion.

He smiled at Antonio, "Vorbeste in engleza, prietene, aceste doamne nu sunt familiarizate cu romana"

"My apologies" the old man smiled switching to English,"We've missed you around here băiat! Amalia and the children have been asking about you" Antonio told Buck referring to his wife and kids. They had welcomed Bucky into their little family with open arms.

"I've been meaning to visit
but I've been busy"

"Well you're home now, come sit, your friends too. I'll get you guys some food" Antonio offered.

"I'll come help we need to catch up plus I could deal with a break from these two and their squabbling" Bucky laughed as Nat and Yelena both shot him glares.

"Yes come and help I'm yet to find someone
who makes Cozonac like you" Antonio smiled giving Bucky a small wink.

"I'll teach you my ways" Bucky told him before turning to the two women stood beside him, "you two sit and talk. Civilly please. I'll be back in a bit with some food" he told the pair as he followed
Antonio inside.

"doamnelor frumoase care
sunt ale voastre?" (Pretty ladies,
which ones yours?) Antonio teased
Buck as they walked together.

Buck laughed, "nimeni nu citește capete destul de mult sora mea și blonda este incredibil de ostilă"
(None. The read heads pretty much my sister and the blonde is incredibly hostile)

A/N: We're gonna follow the blackwidow plot but obviously with a few twists and turns.

Sorry guys I got a little lazy and couldn't be bothered to translate all off the Romanian. Also disclaimer guys everything I know of Russian and Romanian comes from Duolingo and google translate so apologies if they're not quite accurate. The only languages I know are English and Spanish🥲

Thank you guys for reading🫡
