Bounty - Winter Soldier Fanfic

17

"Are you taking a nap?" I asked Bucky after he finished his shower.

He nodded, "I need to be alert."

"Okay. Well I'm gonna go grab some food for when you get up."

He gave a faint, toothless smile.

I left the hotel room and looked up places to eat on my phone.

Bucky has mentioned something about pizza earlier so thats what I decided to get.

I got the pizza and quickly headed back to the hotel.

Bucky was still asleep when I got there.

I decided to let him sleep a bit longer before waking him up.

"A few more minutes." He grumbled.

"You said that a few minutes ago." I sighed.

"Ugh."

I rolled my eyes, "I've got pizza."

His eyes shot open.

I fought a smile, "It's getting cold Barnes."

He sighed and got up out of the bed before mumbling a thanks.

I silently nodded at him.

To be honest I was worried.

Over the past few days I've gotten to know Bucky.

Well if you could even call it that.

He didn't talk too much due to his fear of over sharing and frightening me.

He spent a lot of time writing in his journal, usually things he would remember about his past.

Things that were erased.

I tried not to interrupt him when he was like that.

He could spend hours writing if I'd let him.

But unfortunately we had other things to do.

Tonight was the night.

He,

Or should I say we,

There's no way I'm letting him go in alone.

So tonight we were going to sneak into the hydra base to find evidence to clear his name.

It was dangerous and we could both die but hey, what else was new?

We both lived a similar life.

"So. I was thinking of leaving in about an hour." Bucky spoke looking down at his watch.

I swallowed nervously. "Okay."

"Should I repeat myself? Or explain?" He questioned.

"What are you talking about?" I innocently asked.

"I. As in me. Just me. Will be leaving in an hour. Alone. With no tag alongs or followers or so help me God Stephanie."

I gave an exaggerated sigh but said nothing.

"I mean it."

I nodded, "I know you do."

"And you'll stay here right?" He added.

"Sure." I obviously lied.

He sighed.

We finished out pizza and I jumped in bed.

"You're okay to drive the rental by yourself tonight?" I asked as I fiddled with my phone, texting my family to check on them.

"It's not rocket science." He sarcastically spoke.
