Chapter 10
Abbey's POV
It's the last Hydra base the avengers are in charge of destroying when the unthinkable happens...we find Bucky. I had always seen pictures of him and heard stories but I never in a million years thought we would find him...no one did. I'm with Skye and Tyler when all of the sudden someone turns the corner with a gun pointed at us...its Bucky.
"Tyler, Skye, don't shoot." I warn them."
"Abs what's going on?" Ask my dad over the comm.
"It's Bucky." I say.
"We'll be right there."
"How do you know me?" Ask Bucky.
"I'm Steve's daughter." I say looking him in the eyes.
"What?" He ask.
"Abs..." Warns Tyler.
"I know you've met my mom, you accidentally shot her in the shoulder...we aren't here to hurt you."
Just then my dad turns the corner. "Buck." He says.
"What are you guys doing?" Bucky ask my dad.
"It's a long story." He says back. "Don't you think it's time you have all this up...we could help you Bucky, all of us."
"Steve...I'm dangerous, you don't want me to come back with you guys."
"We are all dangerous Bucky." Says my mom.
"I just don't think..."
"Bucky please." Says my dad.
"It's either that or you go down with the base." Says my mom.
"Alex..." Warns my dad.
"I'm just being blunt with him." She says back.
"Place is all clear." Says Tony over the comms. "I would suggest getting out."
"Bucky we gotta go, are you coming or not?"
"I don't know..."
"Buck..."
"Fine." He says.
"Alright let's go." Says my mom.
We all go back to the jet and Tyler and I sit across from my mom, dad, and Bucky. The rest of the team is quiet as Clint takes off. Natasha keeps looking back at Bucky and everyone else just looks shocked. I turn to them and Bucky looks at me.
"She's your daughter?" He asked my parents, he seems surprised.
"Yeah, just turned 19." Says my dad smiling at me.
"She looks just like you." Says Bucky.
"Acts just like Alex though." He says back. "You'll meet our son Jackson when we get back."
"You have you hands full." He smiles.
"We all do." Says my mom.
Once we get back to the tower my mom and dad take Bucky to meet Jackson and after that they were going to take him down to medical. Tyler and I go up to our floor and we both shower before we start making a late dinner. I sit at the bar while he cooks and I look at him.
"You've been quiet since we left the base." I say as Ash comes and sits next to me. "What's up."
"It's nothing." He says.
"Is it about Bucky?"
"Maybe."
"Tyler, he is pretty safe, the brainwashing doesn't seem to affect him anymore. Why are you so worried?"
"Cause he is dangerous."
"Not anymore." I argue.
"How do you know?"
"I just do."
"That's not a good enough to answer for me." He argues.
"I trust him Tyler, my family trust him. Aren't you even going to give him a chance?" I say raising my voice. We have never fought like this before.
"I'll give him a chance when I know he won't hurt you." He says back. "He had a gun pointed at you Abbey."
"I had it handled." Then I stop. "Wait this isn't about Bucky as much as this is about me being risky tonight is it?"
"You got me Abs, I was worried about my girlfriend, sue me."
"Tyler..." I say standing up and walking to him. "I get that I worried you but you know I can handle myself, what's changed?"
"It's nothing." He whispers getting two plates down.
"Hey look at me." I say to him. "What's wrong, this isn't like you." I say putting a hand on his cheek. His eyes meet mine and it doesn't take long before he breaks.
"I keep having dreams about you...dying in the field and its freaking me out." He whispers. "I don't want to loose you, I can't loose you."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know."
"I can handle myself. I understand your concern but I'm okay." I tell him.
"I know it's silly I just..."
"It's not silly, don't worry about it." I say before kissing him lightly. "Now why don't we eat dinner and then head to bed, it's been a long day."
"Sounds good." He smiles.
After dinner we do dishes real quick and then we go to head off to bed. Instead of going in my room though I slip into his bed and wrap my arms around him.
"Hope this helps." I whisper kissing him.
"Me too." He sighs.
A few weeks later and Bucky is all settled in but still timid around everyone and Tyler has stopped having nightmares. I'm in the gym by myself on the treadmill. Tyler is on a mission with my mom and my dad is on a separate one with Clint and Sam. I have my headphones in so I don't hear the door open but Natasha comes and stands in front of the treadmill. She stops it and I pull my headphones out.
"What's up?" I ask.
"Tyler is down in medical."
"Why?" I ask starting to panic.
"He jumped in front of your mom to stop a bullet from hitting her, he lost quiet a bit of blood on the way back but he's going to be okay."
"Is my mom okay?"
"She is getting stitched up right now from some cuts but yeah. Tyler was asking for you."
"Okay." I say grabbing my phone.
Natasha and I walk down to medical and we walk into to Tyler's room to see my mom lecturing Tyler and Bruce trying to hook him up to and I.V.
"Tyler do you know how stupid that was." Says my mom as a nurse stitches her up. "If those had hit anywhere else you would be dead. How to I explain that to everyone else?"
"I know." He says cringing as a nurse wraps his torso. Then they both see us.
"I thought it was just one." Says Natasha giving him her signature glare.
"It was three." Says my mom.
"Tyler." I gasp.
"Hey Abs." He says smiling.
"Don't hey Abs me, what were you thinking?"
"I think you may be in trouble." Says Bruce tapping his I.V. down.
"Maybe."
"Three bullets to the chest...that could have killed you." I say.
"In my defense I thought I was protecting your mom."
"Tyler they had terrible aim, I would have taken one to the shoulder at most." My mom says back.
"Fine then I was being stupid." He says.
"Damn right you were." Says Natasha.
"You going to need a blood transfusion." Says Bruce. "And you need to take is easy for the next couple days. Do you know how lucky you got?"
"Yeah." Mumbles Tyler.
"Alright, I'll get you hooked up to that and then Alex I need to check out your shoulder."
"I'm fine." Says my mom.
"Alex..."
"Fine."
My mom goes with Bruce and Natasha goes to try and call Clint. I go sit next to Tyler and I give him a quick kiss before looking at him.
"How much pain are you in right now?" I ask running my fingers through his hair.
"A lot." He says. "Bruce said the morphine should kick in soon."
"I'm sure you're feeling drowsy too."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry baby." I say kissing his head.
"So you're not mad at me?"
"No just extremely worried." I smile.
Natasha walks back in and sits on the other side of him. "Dad will be home in a few hours." She says. "Do you need anything?"
"No." He says. "Sorry to worry you."
"It's okay, you were protecting Alex. I'm sure Steve is pretty thankful."
"Yeah well she still ended up with a busted shoulder and some pretty deep cuts."
"And I'm all patched up." Says my mom walking in.
"Nice sling mom."
"Well you know me."
"The amount of shoulder injuries you get is ridiculous." Says Natasha.
"I'm skilled." She smiles. "Abs where are Bucky and Jackson?"
"Last I checked Jackson was teaching Bucky how to play video games." I say looking at her.
"Oh good." She sighs. "I better go check on those two. If your dad comes down here send him up."
"Okay, love you."
"Love you too baby." She says kissing my head.
A few hours later Clint and my dad come down to medical looking a little beat but not bad.
"Hey champ." Says Clint. "How you doing?"
"Fine, a little drowsy."
"Yeah well Bruce says you lost a good amount of blood."
"Thank you Tyler." Says Steve. "Although I'm sure Alex gave you an earful." He smirks.
"That she did." He smiles.
"Dad, mom wanted me to send you upstairs."
"She okay?"
"Busted shoulder and she got some stitches."
"Knowing her she thinks she's fine...alright I'll see you guys later." He says walking out.
The three of us return our attention to Tyler who looks like he is about to crash, he hasn't slept since he got back.
"Ty maybe you should sleep." Says Natasha.
"I'm hungry though."
"I'll go run and get some food, what do you want?" Ask Clint.
"I could go for a burger." He smirks.
"Of course you could." I laugh.
"Abbey do you want anything?"
"In actually going to go eat with my parents but I'll be back down after that."
"Okay."
Clint leaves the room and I turn to kiss Tyler on the head before heading up to my parents floor. Bucky and Jackson are in the same place I left the earlier, my dad has showered and is working on dinner and my mom in sitting at the bar talking to my dad. I go sit next to my mom and she smiles at me.
"How's Ty?" She ask.
"Clint went to get him food and then he is actually going to go to sleep."
"Stubborn." Laughs my mom. "Do you know when Bruce is releasing him?"
"In the morning."
"Alright."
"So have those two been at it since you came up?"
"Yes, Jackson got Bucky addicted."
"Oh good." I laugh.
After dinner I head up to Tyler and I's floor and feed Ash before heading to my room and showering. I then put a leash on Ash and I take him down to medical with me. I walk into Tyler's room to find him still awake. Natasha and Clint are nowhere to be found.
"You're still awake." I say sitting next to him. I tell Ash to lay down next to the bed before returning my attention to Tyler.
"I was waiting on you." He smiles.
"Where are your parents?"
"I told them to go upstairs. I would tell you the same thing except I know you won't."
"You know me too well." I say kissing his head. "Has Bruce changed your bandages yet?"
"He went to go get the stuff to do it."
Just then Bruce walks in and laughs. "Hi Ash." He says as he gets up and walks to Bruce.
"Ash come lay down." I say. "In my defense no one said he couldn't be in here."
"It's fine." He smiles. "Tyler can you sit up for me."
"Yeah." He whispers.
I help him sit up and Bruce re wraps his chest and then Tyler lays back down.
"You know what Tyler, you could go up to your floor if you wanted." Says Bruce.
"Really?" He whispers. I can tell he is starting to fade.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it."
"Okay."
I help him up and the two of us go up to our floor. I move Ash's dog bed into Tyler's room and then grab Tyler an ice pack before going to lay in his bed with him.
"You good?" I whisper.
"Yeah." He smiles back. Not two minutes later he is out like a light and I'm right behind him.
In the morning I go down to my parents floor leaving Tyler still asleep. Bucky is the only one in the kitchen so I grab breakfast and go sit with him.
"Morning Bucky." I smile.
"Morning Abs." He smiles. "How's Tyler?"
"Still sleeping, doing better."
"I need to have Tony look at my arm." He says. "Needs some upgrades."
"How are the flashbacks?" I ask him. He has been having a hard time with that.
"Better..." He says.
"Good."
"And yours?"
"They have been popping up here and there."
"So they tried to make you like your dad?"
"Tried and failed and then left me to die." I say. "They tried getting information out of me first."
"I'm sorry Abbey." He smiles sadly.
"It's okay."
Once I finish breakfast I head up to Phil's office and plop down on his couch.
"Hello Abigail." He says still working.
"Wow I got the full name." I smirk.
"Sorry just busy. What's up?"
"Nothing...just wondering if you have any missions I could go on."
"Not at the moment no...Tyler getting on your nerves?" He laughs.
"No, I just haven't been out in a while."
"Well I sent Skye out this morning with Bobbi and Hunter and Tyler is out as well as your mom. Your dad, Clint, and Sam got back yesterday and Natasha has a solo coming up so I don't know where to put you."
"Just thought I'd ask, thanks anyway."
"No problem, any plans today?"
"You mean other than taking care of Tyler...none."
"Sounds nice."
"Speaking of which I should probably go see if he is up, see you later Phil."
"Bye Abs."
I go back down to my floor and head to Tyler's room to find Ash whining at him and Tyler trying to stand up.
"Ty let me help you." I say walking over to him.
"I was trying to shower." He says groaning as I help him up.
"You can't get your stitches wet." I remind him.
"Oh...yeah..."
"I can wash it over the sink though."
"Yeah that works."
We walk to the kitchen and he carefully leans over the sink where I quickly wash his hair for him. Once I finish he stands up straights and I use a towel to dry it before handing him a shirt to put on.
"Go sit on the couch, I'll grab you some food."
"Okay mom." He smirks.
"Bruce wants you to take it easy remember?"
"I know."
The rest of the day is spent on the couch watching movies and doing nothing. Something that we don't get to do often.
Tyler's POV
A week later Abbey comes back from a mission with Skye just looking beat up. I'm sitting in my room when she walks down the hall and stops at my room.
"What happened?" I ask getting up.
"I got out numbered for a little bit, I'm fine." she says leaning on me.
"Did you go down to medical?"
"Yup." she says tiredly. "Stitched me up and told me to get cleaned up. Ill just have a lot of bruises in the morning."
"Go shower." I say kissing her forehead.
"K, I'll see you in the morning." she smiles before walking to her room.
By the time the two of us drag ourselves out of bed the next morning it's already noon. We go down to the common floor and Abbey grabs an ice pack before taking up the whole couch. I sit down in one of the chairs and sigh. Bruce walks over and laughs a little.
"Abs what happened?"
"I got beat up." she mumbles with her face in the pillows.
"Tyler you feeling better?"
"Can't you just clear me already?"
"Nope." he says taking a sip of his tea. "I came up to tell you guys a few things actually. First of all the Katherine and Atlas just got here and second your parents had to leave on a mission."
"Wait I thought they weren't going to make it back this summer." says Abbey sitting up.
"Well they are on the room, should be down right about…."
Just then the elevator door opens and Atlas and Katherine get off. Abbey jumps up and hugs them both and I get up as well.
"Where are your parents?" I ask.
"They had some stuff to handle with my dads brother…." says Atlas.
"Oh." says Abbey. "Well I'm excited you guys are here."
"We missed you guys." says Katherine. "Seems like you two have been busy."
"Oh you know just busy with missions." I laugh.
"And jumping in front of guns." snickers Abbey.
"You did what?" ask Atlas.
"I was trying to make sure Alex didn't get hit and I ended up taking it." I sigh.
"Smooth." laughs Atlas.
"Have you seen Eliza and Jackson yet?" ask Abbey.
"Not yet." says Katherine.
"Lets go then."
We spend the rest of the day catching up with one another and at some point we all end up on Abbey and I's floor eating Pizza and watching movies, a normal occurrence for us. Once everyone parts ways it's just Abbey and I with Ash. At the same time we both look at each other.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she ask.
"Studio?"
"Yes." she says getting up.
"You sure you're up for it?"
"I'm okay, will Bruce get mad at you?"
"He doesn't need to know." I say.
"Sounds good to me." she laughs.
We spend the next three hours dancing and at some point we end up laying on the floor just talking. Why we decided to talk there I have no idea but that's okay. At some point Bucky comes up and we both sit up.
"What's up Buck?" ask Abbey.
"Oh nothing, everyone else just seemed kind of busy and with Jackson down in the lab it just seemed kind of quiet down there."
"Well your welcome to hang out with us for a little while." she smiles. "I'm sure Tyler would be happy to take you on in a video game or two."
"Well it's not like he could beat me." I smirk.
"You sure about that?" he ask.
"Why don't we find out." I say getting up.
The two of us sit down on the couch while Abbey bakes cookies. Once they are done she sets the plate down in front of us. While Bucky is busy doing something I look at Abbey and smile. She smiles back and mouths thank you to me. I know that I was a little unsure of Bucky at first but I realize that despite his dark past he really is trying to move on. He is a great man.
