Hey all, thanks to anyone reading this! Reviews are VERY welcome, I will be updating whenever I can, though if everyone hates it/or doesn't review, I may start another story and not focusing on this one. Anyways, I hope you like this part! I mostly like it :P
They ran out into the street that was in complete chaos. Building fronts were torn open, cars were flipped upside down, smoke could be seen from a few streets over. Clara had never seen this kind of destruction travelling with the doctor other than the time war.
"What….What happened?" Clara looked at the Doctor. The Doctor looked back.
"A thing, I told you, I need you to fix it."
"Why…how…me? You are the person who deals with this stuff, I just deal with the people around."
The Doctor looked back and forth at clara and Bucky. "You still will be dealing with people Clara, believe me. NOW, you…" He pointed at Steve standing next to Bucky. "Come with me, we need to talk." Clara started to protest till the Doctor turned back to her. "Clara, you and Bucky go to the Tardis, we will come get you when we need you." Steve nodded at Bucky, looked at clara for a moment, then ran after the Doctor.
"DOCTOR!" Clara yelled, but he was already gone. She shook her head and sighed.
Bucky squeezed her hand. "Come on, lets go to this…place, and we can talk more, and wait, and if they take too long, we will go save the." He winked.
Clara allowed herself a little smile. "Alright, this way."
They walked quickly down the street, hand in hand, with both of them flinching anytime there was a crash. When they came upon the blue Police Box, clara dragged Bucky in before he had a chance to protest.
Bucky stood with eyes wide and mouth dropped in shock as clara closed the door and ran up to the console, throwing a few switches. "Welcome to the Tardis." She grinned, enjoying the shocked look on his face. "We'll be safe here. Just let me go grab a few chairs, I'll be right back." She ran down a corridor off the side of the giant room.
Bucky walked slowly up the bridge and to the console, starring around in amazement. "Steve" he breathed "If you could see this. It's even more amazing than you."
He turned and saw clara dragging two chairs in and ran to help her. "What is this place?" He asked. "It's huge. But it doesn't look it from the outside."
Clara smiled. "NO, it doesn't. it's….hard to explain." She sat down, turning her chair to face Bucky's. "It's the Doctors transportation, I just travel with him"
As Bucky sat down, he frowned. "You two aren't…together…are you?" he asked hesitantly.
Clara laughed so hard she started hiccupping. "No!" she exclaimed, trying to catch her breath. "Definitely not!"
Bucky looked relieved. "Oh good, because that just wound have worked out. it would have interfered with my plans."
"Of course, and we wouldn't want that now, would we?"
Bucky settled into his chair. "So, Clara, where are you from?"
"London, you?"
"Why America of course, why else would I be partnered with the "Captain America.""
Clara stared wide eyed. "Wait, your friend was the Captain America? Like, the Superhero?"
Bucky sighed. "Yes, that he is. Have I lost you now?"
Clara rolled her eyes. "Hardly, I just can't believe I met him! Don't worry though, my interest as far as….dates is still solely on you."
Bucky pretended to wipe his brow. "Well that's a relief!" Clara laughed. Bucky looked at her strangely as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"What?" She asked, blushing under his gaze.
"Nothing, it's just…you remind me of someone. You are exactly like her. Looks, accent, everything except you name." Bucky studied her. "You even dress in the style she used to. It's why I went up to you, I wanted to see if it was her."
Clara tilted her head to the side. "Do I? Who was she?"
Bucky smiled faintly. "She was my girlfriend before I left with the Army. Her name was Connie, and we stayed in touch until last year when she disappeared. Really, it was always like she only existed when she was with me anyways, she never said where she worked, or lived, or talked about her family, but she knew me better than anyone, and it seemed like she knew me before I ever met her. I was having doubts I'd make it through the war, but she reassured me in ways no one else could have. I trusted her instantly, and I feel the same about you."
Clara sat there thinking for a minute. "I wonder what the Doctor is up to." She muttered.
"What does the Doctor have to do with this? Wait, but you are Clara, not Connie. Do you know Connie?" Bucky sat up, clearly interested.
"Well…" Clara hesitantly replied, "It's….complicated…"
The Tardis door opened and the Doctor and Steve ran in. "Let's go people, loose ends to tie up, people to save, places to be!" He yelled. "Clara, you can explain later, Bucky, we are dropping you and Steve off on a train, Clara, you will be going with them for a few minutes, but!" He went and leaned right into her, face to face, "No interfering, no matter WHAT! Everything will workout no matter how bad it looks."
"Uhm, okay.." Clara said, looking at Bucky.
"WAIT!" the Doctor yelled, "Shut up! Clara, quick pitstop first, in 1942!"
Bucky looked around at everyone, confused. The Doctor was flipping switches and pressing buttons, Steve was looking like he knew what the heck was going on but like he didn't like it much. And Clara, Clara was looking like everything was starting to make sense, which made no sense since the Doctor had just said there would be a pitstop 3 years before now, which was impossible. "How…"
Clara grinned at him. "Bucky, I promise I'll explain everything once we get off the train, for now I do have a pitstop to make. you stay here, I'm sure Steve has a few things to talk to you about."
"But…"
Clara kissed him on the cheek. "I promise, I'll be back in 5 minutes."
The Doctor handed her what looked kind of like a giant watch wrist band thing. "Ill pick you up a month from today, use this to only be there when you need to be."
"A MONTH is NOT 5 minutes!" Bucky yelled.
"You, shut up!" the Doctor yelled back "Clara go!"
Clara ran to the door, turned around and grinned, winked, and ran out the door.
Clara ran out of the Tardis, as it disappeared quickly behind her. she looked around, wondering where she would find Bucky, when she noticed a cafe that looked very similar to the one they had first met in. the paint was a blue and the windows were green, but other than that it was exactly the same. Clara walked in, figuring she would find Bucky there.
And she was right, he sat there, coffee in hand, flirting with a waitress at the counter, the waitress was obviously perfectly okay with that.
Clara walked over and sat one seat over from him, pretending to focus solely on the waitress. "Hi, could I get a cup of tea please?"
The waitress turned to her obviously annoyed. "Certainly, one moment please." She turned back to Bucky, but Bucky had turned and was grinning at Clara.
"A tea drinker, huh? Not many of those left anymore." He commented, staring at her intently.
She looked at him, only turning her head toward him slightly. "I much prefer the fine taste of tea to the bitter taste of coffee. Plus, coffee is too high energy, tea is relaxing, yet still wakens you quite nicely."
Bucky raised his eyebrows, still grinning. "You have quite the opinion on tea, I hope that isn't you most well thought out opinion."
"Why of course not, I have many opinions on many things, some well thought out, other not so well thought out. I am a person, and people ted to like having opinions, like whether they want to join the army or not, or whether they want to flirt with every pretty girl or not." Clara responded.
This Bucky's laughter sounded and looked the same as future Bucky's. The only difference she could see between this Bucky and that Bucky was the other Bucky always had a slightly sad side, when he thought no one was looking. Clara had noticed it when the Doctor was giving her the time manipulator.
"Yes, tons of different opinions, which I hope we will discuss more, because you are quite the clever lady. May I inquire as to M'lady's name?" Bucky asked.
"Connie." Clara replied, wishing she could use her true name, but knowing she couldn't.
"Hello Connie, nice to meet you, Im Bucky." He held out his hand, grinning. Clara shook it, feeling a sense of de-j a-vu.
The waitress brought Clara over her tea, glaring at her the whole time, while Bucky moved into the seat right next to Clara. "So," he started, leaning one elbow on the counter and watching Clara. "You aren't from here, where are you from?"
"I just moved here from London." Clara fibbed, knowing she couldn't say travelling this time.
Bucky grinned. "So I'll be seeing more of you, right? You seem fascinating."
"I would very much like that." Clara said. "Meeting new people and seeing new places, I love all of that."
"Well," Bucky declared, sitting up. "I know what we will do for our first date, a tour around the town!"
