Cap put the DVD on and pressed play as Bucky pulled my blanket over himself, moving his arm round my waist and pulling me into his side, flashing me a smile before turning to watch the screen, I smiled to myself as I lay my head against Bucky's chest, Scream was a film I watched all the time as a teenager, I could say each line word for word, Nat was well aware of this and tried to scare me back when I was 17 and put it on not knowing I had seen it 3 years before,
"You alright doll?" Bucky whispered in my ear, looking up to him I smiled and nodded my head, Bucky smiled back, pulling me closer, tucking me tightly into his side, I felt myself relax, my eyes getting heavy, the heat coming from Bucky making me sleepy, closing my eyes drifting off to sleep.
Bucky POV
half way through the film I looked down at Liv, laughing to myself, she had fallen asleep, I leaned down and kissed the top of her head, running my finger down her soft cheek, she signed softly, I looked up and noticed Steve looking over at us, a slight smile on his face before he turned back to the film, wrapping my arm round her a bit tighter so it rested on the side of her stomach, she was getting better, slowly but surely the old Liv was coming back, she didn't know it, but she was helping me, just being round her made be feel better, it has since the moment I came with Steve to the compound, I looked down at her again then back up at the rest of the team,
"Hey guy's I'm going to take Liv back to her room" I whispered, pointing down at her, Nat Suppressed a laugh when she noticed Liv's sleeping form curled next to me, the rest of them nodded to fixed on the film, standing up I wrapped Liv's blanket round her before picking her up,
careful of the snacks laid out on the floor as I walked past, Liv tucked her head under my chin as i carried her down the hall from the family room, opening her door slowly and laying her on her bed, grabbing her glass off the bed side table, i filled it with water and placed it back on her side table, walking to the door to go down to my room, the bed shifted
"Bucky?"
"Yeah?" I asked turning towards her
"Can you stay? I sleep better when your here" Liv mumbled.
"Sure, doll, I can stay" I smiled, walking back and climbing into the bed, wrapping my arm round her waist and pulling her against me, she signed softly, before turning round to face me and burying her head in my chest and falling back asleep, something about mutual gratification went through my head.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Liv POV
"how are you feeling today Oliva?" Dr Raynor asked me,
"I'm fine" I Smiled at her
"How are you sleeping?" She asked, looking down at her note pad, still hated that thing
"Fine" I said again, "Better then fine actually, no nightmares at all"
"Good, and what about your training, how is that going?"
"Good, still building up my stamina"
"and what about your powers, how is your control coming along?"
"Better, I can control the smaller flames again" more writing in the note pad, resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I looked towards my parents, dad had moms hand intertwined with his.
"And Pepper, would you agree with what Oliva is saying?" Dr Raynor turn towards my mum who cleared her throat, sitting forward in her seat slightly
"In some instances yes, Liv has been keeping up her with her training, Steve has been updating us, we're still worried she might start going back the way again" Mom told her, more writing, god I hate that note book, what I would give to see what she was writing down.
"I think she's doing great, she's eating more, from what I can get from her training she is doing more then she should, Steve said she is spending a lot of time with Barns, sparing or knife work" Dad nodded looking from mom to me, I smiled over at him, looking away from him smiling to my self, not to mention the fact Bucky has been sleeping in my bed with me, the occasional stolen kiss.
"James Barns?" Dr Raynor asked, looking back over at her I nodded my head
"Yeah, Bucky helps me train, we where friends before I shut everyone out" I stated.
"Interesting" Dr Raynor noted that down, rolling my eyes caught mum trying to glare at me but a small smile graced her lips,
"Now Olivia, have you had a chance to speak with your parents about what happened to you?"
I turned and glared at her "No" I stated "I haven't"
"Any why not?" more writing in the note pad,
"Because its not their burden to bear" I muttered as the clock chimed signalling the end of the hour session, grabbing my bag, kissing both my parents on the cheek I walked out slamming the door behind me, I could hear my mum shouting me as I walked out onto the street just as the clouds opened up and rain poured down hitting off the side walk, the clouds covered the sky making the mid afternoon dark and gloomy, causing it to look a lot later then it was, heavy drops of rain pelted the pavement,
"This is just fucking great" I groaned, I had to park 4 blocks away from the office, did not have an umbrella and was dressed in a skirt and black button up shirt.
crossing my arms over my chest I started to run to the car, seeing my white ford just the down the street, grabbing my keys out of my bag watching the back lights flash to signal it was unlocked, as pulled the drivers side door open I felt like I was being watched, placing my bag onto the passenger side seat I looked round the street, which apart from a few people was abandoned due to the heave down pour, looking across the road, he was there again, light blue almost white eyes connected with mine, a slight smirk played on his lips, lifting his hand he waved over at me, I was frozen, I couldn't move, his smirk grew into a wolfish grin, his eyes giving away no emotion, I was panicking, I needed to calm down, I tried to remember the steps Dr Raynor practised with me on my first few sessions,
1. Recognise your having a panic attack
2. Take a deep breath
3. Close your eyes.
4. Find a focus object
5. Picture my happy place.
taking a few deep breaths, i already knew I was having panic attack, closing my eyes while I took 3 deep breaths, focusing on the blue car in front of him and pictured my happy place, playing with Morgan, climbing into my car, closing the door and locking the car with the button on the dash.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y" I called, hearing the slight waver in my voice
"Yes Miss stark?" F.R.I.D.A.Y replied.
"Are my parents still with Dr Raynor?"
"No Miss Stark, they are back at Stark tower, would you like me to call them?"
"No..no, call Bucky" I muttered round the tightening in my chest
"Liv?" Bucky's voice came over the speaker, tears started running down my chest
"Bucky..." I gasped "Bucky...I need help"
"Where are you doll?" Bucky asked, his voice calm
"F.R.I.D.A.Y?"
"Yes miss Stark"
"I need you to send my location to Bucky" more tears fell, trying to keep my breathing even, balling my hands into tight fists, looking down at my hands, thinking about Morgan,
"Liv i'll be there in 10" I heard Bucky say before the call disconnected.
"Fuck" I yelled, "Shit" I yelled again, banging my hands on the steering wheel, my whole body shaking, tears fell down my face, leaving wet streaks down my top, I glanced out the passenger side window, he was still there, he hadn't moved,
reciting the instructions from Dr Raynor again to prevent the panic attack taking over, keeping my happy place at the front of my mind, trying to focus on Morgan but it kept shifting to my time with Bucky.
*knock* *knock*
looking up to the the passenger side window, my heart beating hard in my chest, seeing the gloved hand knocking again I pressed the button on the dash to unlock the car and Bucky climbed in, I looked up at him, concern etched into his features, bringing his glove clad hand up to cup my cheek
"What happened?" Bucky asked
"I was unlocking my car, and felt.." I took a deep breath trying to keep my voice from shaking "I felt someone watching me, and I looked up and the guy from the restaurant watching me from across the road...I...I froze, I couldn't move, I started to panic, I kept running through what Dr Raynor told me to do when I have a panic attack and got into the car, but...my whole body was in panic mode, I couldn't breath" my voice trembled slightly "I ask F.R.I.D.A.Y if my parents where still with Dr Raynor but she said they where back home, the only other person I could think of to help me was you, so I asked her to call you, I was so scared Bucky" I sobbed.
Bucky looked at me and pulled me over so I was cradled against his chest, wrapping his arms round me, resting his chin on top of my head, we stayed like that for a bit until I stopped crying,
"Let me drive us home" Bucky muttered, I nodded my head moving so Bucky could shift over to the drives seat, he started the car, looking over at me and giving me a tight smile he pulled away from the curb.
"Bucky?" I asked turning towards him
"Yeah doll?"
"Thank you"
"No problem doll" Bucky smiled over at me, taking my hand in his and kissing the back of it
once we reached the compound, I climbed out the car waiting for Bucky to join me, wrapping his arm round my waist we walked into the lift, Bucky stood against the back wall, pulling me against him, laying his head on my shoulder and wrapping both arms round my stomach, the lift dinged and the doors started to open, taking my hand and leading me down the hall to my room, opening the door and walking inside, Bucky following close behind me
"Bucky?" I turned towards him
"Yeah?" he had a confused look on his face, I walked over till I was directly in front of him, standing on my tip toes pressing my lips against his, grabbing a fist full of his shirt as he rested his hands on my hips, walking backwards until my legs hit my bed and I fell back, pulling Bucky with me
He pulled away to catch himself, balancing on one arm while his metal one still rested on my hip
"Liv?" he looked at me questioningly
"Bucky help me forget" I muttered pulling him down and kissing him once again
"Are you sure?" Bucky asked pulling away from me again,
"Yes, I'm 100% sure Bucky, I want to forget" I stated, Bucky nodded, smiling at me, kissing me again as his hands went to work unbuttoning my shirt.
