Disclaimer: I obviously own nothing of the MCU's. Kitty is mine, the plot is mine (at least most of it, but not after the eventually tie-in with TFA).
Bucky Barnes knows plenty about Katherine "Kitty" Harris, hell everyone in their neighborhood knows her name. The pretty waitress who works part time at the local diner, part time at the dance hall, and full-time in the Red Hook neighborhood gossip. He stops in from time to time, hears all the chatter, wonders about the details, but dare never ask. Kitty is a nice girl, always polite, friendly, and damn good at her job. Bucky isn't all that curious, to be honest, aside from the diner and the dance hall, he doesn't know her from Eve. But, that all seems to change after he comes in one day and sees her sporting a right ugly shiner on that pretty face.
Warning: mention of rape, mention of domestic violence and abuse, mention of cheating (is that even a warning?), 40's sentiment on sex, Period-Typical Sexism, old timey slut shaming, 40's slang
Tags: Pre-Captain America: The First Avenger, Pre-Serum Steve Rogers, 1941 Bucky Barnes, Red Hook Brooklyn in the 30's/40's. OC has a shit life. Second chapter will introduce the boys. Bucky and Steve have a hard time minding their own business, especially Steve. Bucky is honestly such a good guy, sometimes his intentions get fucked up. I don't know how I'm gonna end this tbh.
