Bucky's POV

Bucky didn't know where else to go. After the day on the carrier, when Steve had said those words to him and Ally had shown him the tags around her neck, it started coming back to him slowly. The memories of Steve and Ally. A lot of things were still jumbled, and he didn't know what was his or the soldiers, but somehow, he knew that he was safe with Ally. That's why he had gone to the park to see her.

He was on high alert when he came into the tower, but Ally had reassured him he was safe there. He believed her. The shower did wonders for him and putting on fresh clothes made him relax.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw that star on her arm. The memory of that night came crashing back down on him. How she felt naked underneath him, her skin so soft. How she moaned his name. When he reached out and touched her arm, it felt like his skin was on fire. He didn't know if he was going to kiss her, but the way she said his name made him want to.

He couldn't. There was a chance he could hurt her. He was a monster. They had made him into a monster.

They were currently sitting in the living room with the pizza, Steve and Ally on the couch and Bucky had chosen the chair right next to it.

"So, for tonight's movie, I have picked one of my personal favorites. Toy Story. It's great, and I'm sure both of you will love it. Bucky did like it. It was funny, but what he liked more was how Ally laughed at all the jokes, or how she knew the movie almost word for word. He found himself watching her more than the television. So, he definitely noticed when she stuck her legs across Steve's lap. He also noticed that Steve's hands rested on her feet.

He knew he shouldn't be jealous, but he wondered if something had happened between the two of them while he wasn't around? He couldn't be mad. Steve was amazing and he wanted what was best for Ally, and honestly, he didn't think that was himself.

After the movie, they all headed to their rooms. Ally was leaning against her doorframe when she called out to him. "Hey Bucky." He turned to look at her.

"Hmm?"

"Goodnight." She said smiling, before stepping into her room and closing the door.

Ally's POV

You couldn't sleep. Knowing that Bucky was down the hall was driving you crazy. You were buzzing. You knew there was a long way to go to get him back to feeling like himself, but he was home. He was with you and Steve, where he belonged.

"Miss Allison, Mr. Barnes is having a nightmare in his room, I thought I would let you know."

You jumped out of bed, thanking the AI, and crept down the hallway. You slowly opened his door and stepped in, careful not to get too close to him. You weren't sure what kind of state he'd be in when he woke up, or who he would be. You heard him whimper. "Ally. No. My name is James. One hundred seventh." You heart was breaking. He was dreaming about being wiped.

"Bucky." You whispered. He didn't wake up. You flipped on the light and walked over to grab the extra pillows from the bed. "Bucky." You said a little louder. He kept tossing and whimpering. You threw the pillow, hitting him in the chest with it. He jerked awake, eyes wide, looking around the room until he spotted you. "Bucky?" You said again.

"Ally, what are you doing in here?" He said softly.

"Oh, uh, Jarvis told me you were having a nightmare, so I came to check on you. Are you okay?" You asked.

"Oh. Uh…yeah, I'm okay. I'm sorry, did I wake you?" You smiled and shook your head.

"Oh, no, I was up. Couldn't sleep." You told him, going back over to the door.

"Wait." You heard him say. You turned to face him.

"Yeah?"

"Will you stay in here with me? I always have trouble getting back to sleep after I wake up." You nodded and walked over to the bed, sitting up against the headboard.

"Do you have nightmares a lot?" You asked him. He nodded.

"Not every night, but most nights." He laid back down on his side, facing you.

You shut the lights off and absently started running your fingers through his hair. You heard him hum and smiled to yourself, feeling him slip back into sleep. You contemplated leaving, but he had asked you to stay and you definitely wanted to. You slid down and laid on your side, facing him, just watching him as he slept. You stilled when you felt his hand reach out and grab your hip, pulling you close to him. His face looked so peaceful, like it did when you would watch him sleep in your crappy tent at the base.

You tucked your chin under his head and breathed in his scent. It hadn't changed. "Oh God I missed you so much." You whispered, letting your eyes drift closed.

When you woke up Bucky was gone. You sat up, worried that you had overstepped last night by staying in his room. You walked out into the kitchen to find Bucky sitting at the island with a bowl of cereal. You smiled at him as you walked over to the coffee machine, turning it on. "Good morning." You told him, spinning around to face him.

"Morning. I would have made coffee, but I didn't know how to work the machine." You smiled.

"It's okay, it's tricky, took Steve like a week to figure it out. Where is he by the way?" You asked.

"I think he said he'd be in the gym." You nodded, grabbing two mugs out of the cabinet, filling them up and passing one to Bucky.

"When you're feeling up to it, you should check it out. It's got everything. Tony has an endless supply of punching bags because Steve breaks them weekly." You watched the corner of Bucky's mouth lift into a small smile.

"What did you want to do today?" You asked him. He shrugged.

"I don't know. I guess get to working on things I remember. Do you have anything you think could help me?" You thought for a second, remembering you had a bunch of books in your room.

"Yeah, actually, I think I do."

You ran into your room and pulled the history and Captain America books you had out of your closet. You sat them on the island and pushed them toward Bucky. "There's stuff about the war in here, about Steve, the commandos, and you." You smiled and sat across from him, pulling out your tablet. You pulled up Amazon and started ordering Bucky pants, socks, underwear, shoes and shirts. You also got him some new gloves, some notebooks, toiletries and anything else you might need. You opted for same day delivery and smiled when it said it would arrive in a few hours.

The elevator dinged and Steve came in, sweaty after his workout. He came around the island, kissing you on the top of your head before opening the fridge and grabbing a water. "How was the gym?" You asked. He shrugged.

"Pretty good I guess; I didn't break a punching bag today." He told you grinning. You gave a pointed look to him. "Okay, I only broke ONE punching bag today." You laughed and threw an 'I told you so' look at Bucky.

"So, I have to go down to the lab for a little while, will you be okay here until I get back?" You asked Bucky. He stilled for a second, as if he didn't want you to leave. You could tell Steve picked up on it and he stepped up next to you.

"I was gonna jump in the shower, and then maybe we could watch a movie or something? Or I could help you go through these books?" He offered. Bucky relaxed a little and nodded.

"Yeah, that sounds good." You smiled, walking around to where Bucky was sitting, squeezing his arm.

"I won't be gone long okay?" You told him softly.

You showered and threw on a pair of jeans and a black tank top, forgoing any make up, you hadn't planned on going anywhere today. You grabbed your tablet and walked through the kitchen, throwing waves to the boys, who were hunched over the pile of books you brought out.

Upon entering the lab, you found Bruce and Tony leaning over a screen. "Hey science bros, what's up?" They both looked up at you and Tony raised an eyebrow?

"Science bros? Is that something we're called in your world?" You laughed, plopping yourself down on the couch.

"Not really, more like something the fans came up with, though I think it fits pretty good." Tony grinned, nudging Bruce.

"See Banner? Science bros. Way cool name."

"Well, cooler than a green rage monster." Banner said, throwing a wink your way. You got up and walked over to the table they were standing at.

"Watcha workin on?"

Tony looked up at you with a giant grin. "Nanotech." You smiled back at him.

"So, I wanted to ask you something Tony." He raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Do you wanna come have dinner with me, Steve and Bucky tonight? Bruce you are welcome too of course." Tony looked down and sighed.

"Allison, I just don't know if I'm ready for that."

"I know, and I completely understand. But you have to understand, Bucky isn't like that. I know how to help him. I know what to do to make sure he never becomes the Winter Soldier again. Please trust me." Tony sighed, running his hand through his hair.

"What do you think Banner?" He asked. Bruce thought for a moment, taking his glasses off and setting them down on the table.

"I think he's gone through more psychological torture than anyone should have to go through in life. I think the fact that he came to Ally because he remembers her, and Steve is a sign that he wants to get better." Bruce said. Ah, the voice of reason.

"Okay, I'll do it for you, under one condition." Tony said, a small grin on his face that you knew meant nothing good.

"Oh God, what?" You asked him.

"You have to let me call you Buttercup."
