Chapter 4 – The Man Called Bucky

"Bucky?!" Steve grabbed his friend and pulled him into a hug. "I thought I lost you."

Bucky laughed at him. "What are you talking about?"

Steve, with a smile on his face, glanced over his shoulder at Tony. "Why didn't you tell me Bucky was alive?! This is the best news I've had all day!"

Bucky noticed Tony and patted Steve's shoulder. "Call me later, okay? So we can talk."

"Of course." Tony opened the apartment door and shoved Steve in. He turned around and frowned. "What was that for?" Tony remained silent as he took off and hung his coat. Steve waited for an explanation. "Tony."

"Don't think about it. Just go to bed."

Steve grabbed Tony's hand and spun him around, a calmness coming over his face. "Tony, please, explain. Why didn't you tell me Bucky was alive? Did you want to save me the shock or is it for a deeper reason? Do you and Bucky get along?"

"We never did."

"Why?"

Tony shook his head and locked himself in the bathroom.

"Tony!"

Steve was sitting on the sofa, reading a book he found, when he suddenly heard Tony's voice. "We were happy. Very happy. Very in love. - Suddenly Bucky came back into our lives." Tony sat next to him, tightening his robe around his frame. "At first I was happy that you had a friend back. We fixed him up enough for him to lead a normal life. Then he started stealing you away from me bit by bit. - I know, I know. He was trying to adjust and he needed you. I understood that, but I stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt, when I came home to find you two kissing."

Steve jumped to his feet, panicking. "I cheated on you!?"

"No! No." Tony grabbed his hands and pulled him back onto the sofa. "You would never do that. Bucky kissed you. You spent hours trying to convince me of that. I believed you."

Steve nodded, calming back down. "He kissed me and that was what our problem was?"

"That was the start. – You kept siding with Bucky, turning against me. The last nail in the coffin was you- you-." Tony covered his face, unable to say what horrible deed Steve committed, tears bleeding down his face. "Let's just say our Civil War almost killed me, Steve."

Steve grabbed the smaller man and hugged him. "I'm sorry."

"Forget it. It doesn't matter." Tony's voice was distant. "You should call Bucky. He doesn't know that you don't remember." He held out Steve's cell phone. "I think you two need to talk."

Steve took the phone and stared at it before looking back to Tony. "Are you sure?"

"I trust you Steve."

Bucky was sitting at the diner table when Steve opened the door causing the bell to ding above his head. "Hey! Over here." Bucky waved his arm in the air. "Thank goodness you could get away from Tony, right? Why do you look so fancy?"

"I came here from Peggy's dance." Steve, begrudgingly, sat down. "Bucky, I have something to tell you. – I have no memory past crashing into the ocean. I've gained bits and pieces, but otherwise, I remember nothing."

"You're kidding me! Tony told you to say that didn't he!"

"No. It's the truth. Why do you think I had to ask for directions to get here?"

"I thought Tony was listening on the other end."

"Whatever happened between the three of us?"

Bucky gripped his cup and stared down into it, the black liquid seeming as endless as the feeling in his stomach. "I don't want to be seen as the villain here so I won't say anything. I love you Steve and I-". He shook his head. "Let's just start over as friends."

"No more jabs at Tony?"

". . . I'll try."

Steve stifled a relived sigh. "And here I thought we were going to get into a fight. Or you and Tony would get into a fight."

"I turned you into someone you never wanted to be. I'm sorry. I won't do that to you again, but I still love you."

A fat grin on his face, Steve grabbed Bucky's hand. "Is the food here any good?"

"You normally order the cheese burger with a lemonade."

"See. You're a great friend."

Bucky stared at him. "You're really letting me off the hook?"

"I don't remember what you did, remember?"

"Tony didn't tell you?"

"Sort of. All he said was the Civil War almost killed him."

Bucky slowly nodded. "Then that's all you need to know Steve . . . Besides, we were pretty awful."

"Well I want to fix that." Steve waved a waitress over and ordered. "I want to fix my marriage with Tony. I married him for a reason so I plan to remember that reason and fall in love with him all over again if I have to. He cares so much for me."

Bucky chuckled. "When you two first met, you hated each other. I mean really hated each other. Just to different I guess. But you and Tony somehow got over that and ended up falling in love, while saving the earth none the less."

"I sound like I'm a busy man these days."

"You're a hero Steve."

"Could you fill me in on who I am now?"

"Anything."

A waitress with long blonde hair smiled as she placed a thick burger in front of him. "Here you go sir."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Bucky cleared his throat, "You're on a team called the Avengers . . ."

Sorry if this wasn't very good. I'm trying to spread the plot out a bit more so sometimes chapters don't go anywhere. For the Civil War bit, just image CA: CW, with slightly modified events.

I'm working on the next chapter. Please review!
