Chapter 10: Whispers of I love you
Steve was a wreck, the police asked everyone in the building what had happened. Some heard of Daniel Jacob's plot to have his sister Samantha kick him and Bucky out. From what he heard Samantha refused to do so having grown fond of him during her time as the Building manager and she would often buy his art work. Samantha wouldn't face any charges, her brother on the other hand would "How are you feeling Mr. Rogers." Samantha asked
"I am worried about Tera, if it weren't for her I would be spending more time in the hospital than here. She has taken care of me." he said
"From what I have heard about her, she is a caring person. I heard about what she did to my brother at the docks after the accident that caused your friend to stay home for a few days. I am sorry to hear he got drafted." she said
"Thank you, Tera has been checking in on me since he left. Her father is a doctor and can get things that I sorely need. I just can't believe that she would do something like that." Steve said.
Just then a jeep pulled up and Bucky jumped out "Bucky?!" Steve said shocked
"Steve, what happened I got informed Tera was shot." Bucky said worried
"My brother shot her while she was trying to protect Howard Stark's butler Jarvis. She overheard my brother telling me to kick both of you out." Samantha said
"She told him no, Tera heard what was said. Then Howard's Butler came to pick her up to take her to her father. The next thing I hear is a gunshot and come into view just in time to see Tera collapse." Steve said on the verge of crying.
Bucky pulled Steve into a brotherly hug "You stay here I am on my way to go check on her." Bucky said.
Steve nodded as Samantha put a hand on Steve's shoulder "I am sorry about my brother, he hasn't been the same since Ma died six months ago. If anything, he has gotten worse." Samantha explained
"If I see him, he is a dead man." Bucky said.
Brooklyn Military hospital/ S.S.R R&D building
Abraham Erskine rushed into the room his daughter was just now going into surgery to remove a bullet. Peggy, Howard, Chester, and Jarvis right on his heels. When Jarvis told them, what had happened Peggy wanted to shot the guy that shot Tera "Doctor Erskine, your daughter was shot in the abdomen. The doctors are removing the bullet as we speak." the nurse informed him.
Abraham nodded as a familiar young man came running into the waiting room "Mr. Barnes, what are you doing here?" Abraham asked
"One of the police officers on scene called the base." Bucky said
"She just went into surgery." he informed the young man.
Bucky nodded and sat down "Son, I am not going to pretend to know what is going on with you and her." said Chester
"Sir, I love her. I seen what happens on a full moon to her. Though others would say I am crazy." Bucky said.
Howard smirked "So you know she is the Wolf of Brooklyn?" asked Peggy
"I had my suspicions, when the wolf had those same eyes as Tera. I saw her sneak off into the woods last night. So, I followed her. My suspicions of her being the wolf who brought a deer onto my front porch and nearly scared my roommate into an early grave mind you." Bucky said.
Abraham nodded "She may have known that you were there and couldn't control it. She has a necklace that was her mother's to help keep the transformation hidden on a full moon. Other than that, she can transform into a wolf at will. She and the wolf have become that close." Abraham said.
No one was in the room so they could speak of it freely "In Tera's eyes she sees your friend as a person, the wolf though sees him as a pup that needs protecting." Abraham added
"That he does, damn punk gets himself into fights and gets his butt kicked so much I am always the one to pull him out of it. I wonder how many fights she's had to pull him out of?" Bucky mused out loud.
Abraham just chuckled and shook his head.
Bucky and Tera's family and friends waited for word on her condition they had been working on her for two hours. Soon two more went by then after that an additional two went by. As time went on Bucky found himself praying to every god throughout history for her to be okay. After 12 hours total the Doctor came out "Erskine?" he asked
"Yes, how is my daughter Doctor?" Abraham asked
"I am Doctor Steven Strange. Your daughter Doctor Erskine, she had lost a lot of blood, but that was about it. She will be weak for a while, any higher the bullet would have hit a major artery and we wouldn't be able to do anything. If anything, she got off lucky." said the doctor.
Bucky let out a sigh of relief "She is being put into another room you may see her in there." The doctor added before he left.
When the nurse arrived to escort them to Tera's room, she was resting. Tera, looked pale from the blood she lost, but that didn't mean she didn't look any less beautiful to him. She looked like a fallen angel. He sat beside her, everyone taking a seat near or around her. Bucky took her hand into his own. She nearly sacrificed herself to save another. She was self-sacrificing, willing to do anything for those around her. She was caring and loving. She was beautiful and strong. She was everything he wanted. That night the others left, only Bucky remained with her father "Son, go home get some rest." her father told him
"I don't know if I can do that sir." Bucky replied
"Go, I know your friend is worried about her and she isn't going any were unless she is moved." her father replied.
Bucky nodded reluctantly and leaned over to place a kiss on the top of her head "I love you doll." he whispered.
Bucky left the room and headed back to his apartment that he shared with Steve…
