Bucky Barnes Drabbles
Summary: Stephanie Rogers, granddaughter of the infamous Steve Rogers, has finally decided to introduce her boyfriend, the infamous Winter Soldier, to her parents. Takes place in an alternate universe where Steve never went into the ice but Bucky was still lost to HYDRA.
Authour's Notes: Started as a larger project with a friend over on DeviantArt. We challenged each other to write 500 word drabbles inspired by several characters portrayed by Sebastian Stan. Now I'm sharing several of them over here on ; they will be written and updated sporadically, each character getting their own series on here.

"Relax, James, they're going to love you," Stephanie Carter-Rogers said soothingly as her companion paced the length of her small living room. The young woman brushed some of her dirty blonde hair from her face and let out a little huff. Since she had brought James Barnes to SHIELD and the Avengers, Stephanie had found herself falling for the former HYDRA assassin. Even though the two of them had almost killed each other when HYDRA had attempted to destroy SHIELD from within, Stephanie had chased the man around the country for a year with her partner Sam Wilson. She had been obsessed with bringing the long thought dead Barnes back home.
James stopped pacing and raked his metal hand through his long brown hair. "I can't do it, doll. What's he gonna think of me? I'm older than that punk but I'm goin' steady with his granddaughter!" he said, his nerves showing. He looked at the young woman then, holding her gaze. She had Steve's eyes; eyes that could see straight through him. They thrilled him and calmed him all at the same time.
"Grampa's okay with it," Stephanie stated as she closed the distance between James and herself. "I think it amuses him, actually." Stephanie placed her hands on James' arms and ran them up and down in a comforting way. "And Dad's excited meet the infamous James Buchanan Barnes after all these years." Stephanie pressed a chaste kiss to her boyfriend's lips just as the buzzer went off. Before James could pull her in for a more intimate kiss, Stephanie was bounding towards the buzzer and pressing the button that would allow their guests entry into the apartment complex.
"Can't we make them wait?" James asked as he came up behind Stephanie and wrapped his arms around her. He leaned in and began to kiss along her jaw, tempting her to see things his way. A knock on the door interrupted him and he let out a low growl as he released Stephanie and backed up a few paces as Stephanie threw the door open, revealing their three guests – her parents, James and Martha Carter-Rogers and the original super soldier Steve Rogers. He watched, his nerves starting to get the best of him, as Stephanie greeted them with hugs. He was about to make a break for it when she turned to face him, a huge grin on her face.
"James, I want you to meet my mom Martha and my father James," she said.
The former HYDRA assassin looked from Stephanie to her father – who looked more like Peggy – with a look of surprise on his face. He then glanced to Steve – now an old man – who gave a nod. "It's, um… it's nice to meet you… ah… James," he stammered, extending a trembling hand to his girlfriend's father. He let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding when the other man accepted the offering. James knew then there was nothing to worry about.
