WARNING: SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA 2: THE WINTER SOLDIER

Yesterday I was in cinema and I saw Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. And as soon as the movie ended I had an idea for fanfic! :D So if anyone hasn't seen it yet, it's full of spoilers and you probably wouldn't understand. This story is set inside the second post-credit scene. So if anyone went away from the cinema sooner than the movie really ended, here's what was in the last post-credit scene:

There was the museum about Captain America again, and we saw the poster about Bucky Barnes with his photo and story about his life. Then the camera slowly turned to the opposite side and we see the man who is looking at the poster. And yes, it's Bucky himself. The camera stays looking at his a bit confused face and then... black screen, red screen with a MARVEL sign and then the real end.

So this is set inside the last post-credit scene. I just needed to write some short reunion of Steve and Bucky :) I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes, unfortunately I'm not native speaker.

Disclaimer: As much as I want to, I don't own Captain America :(

Story: Welcome Back My Old Friend
By: Mischel


It was him. The man in the poster. It was really him. Captain America was right. All the time he was right. His name was Bucky Barnes and he almost killed his best friend. All the memories slowly found their way back into his mind. All of them. He and Steve. Their friendship. The second World War, the mission, train, winter, fall, death. But he wasn't dead, was he? He was back. Right here and right now. Bucky Barnes.

Alive

But was it all true? Was it really him on the poster, was it really him? 'Yes', was his heart saying. 'It's really you, Bucky. It's really you'. 'But how can I be still alive?' was his brain saying instead. 'How come I'm not dead yet? How come it's already almost seventy years and I'm still young? But it is me. It is. The man in the poster is really me. I just know it. I can feel it...'

Even when he didn't want to, he soon found out that his eyes were filling with tears. All the years without his friends, family. Without Captain America. Steve Rogers. Steve... What has he done to him? He almost killed him!

Suddenly he could sense someone standing behind him. His shadow grew bigger, because of another person, standing there. Slowly, he turned around, and his eyes landed on his old friend. A friend, he almost killed a few days ago.

Steve

"Bucky?" was all what Steve said, and Bucky was surprised when he realized that he knows that face. That voice. That name. Still his brain seemed to think otherwise, and he tried to strike Steve in the face with his normal, human hand.

Another strong arm, Steve's arm stopped him and his face a bit saddened.

"S-Steve?" Bucky whispered and suddenly found himself in a strong hug. Captain America's hug. Steve's hug. His arms wrapped around his friend's back and he buried his face into Steve's shoulder.

"I'm so- so sorry," Bucky whispered into Steve's shoulders, more tears in his eyes now. "I'm so so so sorry, I shouldn't have hurt you, Steve... I'm so sorry," mumbled he still again and again.

"It's OK now, Bucky," Steve said. He had a few tears in eyes too. He thought his friend was gone. Dead. And now he returned. At least he has one old friend in this century with him. "Welcome back my old friend..." he whispered.


Ok, I hope you liked it, and that it wasn't OOC. Because I've never read any fanfiction in this fandom yet.
