Connie was tapping her foot nervously as she looked forward. She was playing with her hair, something she did when she was nervous. She felt a figure sitting next to her and she looked over to see Steve looking down at her, he had a soft face expression
"You're nervous" Steve said, not even questioning it but stating a fact. Connie looked down for a moment before nodding "We haven't seen in each other for a
while, it was like what... 9 months ago since I last saw it? Now we're going to face each other and we don't have the time to have a normal conversation? That it's the end of the world and I may not see him?"
"I know how you feel about that.. I haven't seen Riley in two years and I hope she's alive.. That her and Tony are looking after each other." Steve said and Connie looked at him and she smiled softly "When she comes back to earth.. You better make it right Steve." Connie said and Steve thought for a moment before nodding
"I still don't know.. Even when we were engaged, I was nervous.. Wondering if she was truly the right one.. What if we weren't meant to be? What if I was meant to be with someone else? What if I was suppose to be with Mary?" He asked, thinking of his first love and Connie's great-grandmother and S.J's mother.
Connie nodded in understanding, she knew that Steve that doubts but she knew deep inside.. Riley was the one. She grabbed Steve's hand and squeezed it "If you had died and you, Riley and Mary were all in some afterlife.. Who would you pick?"
Steve looked at her for a moment and was ready to open his mouth to speak until they heard Sam's voice "Cap!"
"Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0." Steve spoke as he squeezed Connie's hand and got up, going towards Sam. Connie looked over and saw Natasha and Bruce
were speaking and Bruce saw her.. He coughed nervously and he excused himself from Natasha and went towards Connie, he pointed at the seat next to her
"May I sit there?" Bruce asked softly and Connie smiled a bit and nodded. Bruce took a seat and he looked down for a moment before looking at her and shaking
his head "I'm sorry.." Bruce whispered and Connie looked at him for a moment before frowning "For what..?"
"S.J.. I'm sorry that he died.. I know you and your mother must have been through a lot when you lost him.. I'm so sorry about the mess with him, Nat and I
.. I shouldn't have let my feelings take control, it's just.. I have a lot of feelings for her" Bruce admitted and Connie was silent at first.. She spent years..
Just thinking that Bruce was the villain in the story of the love triangle that happened, that it was Bruce's fault for everything.. When in reality.. It was no one's fault in this.. It was three people having real emotions..
"You don't have to be sorry" Connie said and Bruce's expression fell and Connie shook her head "It was no one's fault.. You three were human" She muttered and Bruce was silent and Connie shook her head "My mother and I weren't upset with you, we just.. We had part of our family taken away and we were broken.. You weren't the bad guy" Connie said and Bruce had a small smile.. He nodded and looked at Connie
"You reminded me of my best friend.. Anthea, she was very mature.. But she was strong, funny and kind. It's nice to have people like you to be with at the end of the world" He said and Connie laughed a bit "Thanks.. We need all the friends we need"
"I hope you're right about this, Cap. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to." Sam muttered and Steve glared at him "If Janet and Felix can get there and they've rarely been there.." He said and Connie chuckled
Connie watched as the Quinjet passes through a camouflage force field into Wakanda's Golden City's valley. She looked in awe of the surroundings and the beautiful land of Wakanda.. Bucky's home and maybe her home one day if Bucky wanted to stay there.. They would start a life together. The Quinjet lands at the airfield outside the palace. T'Challa, Orchid and the Dora Milaje were approaching to greet the arrivals
T'Challa and Orchid were walking towards the Quinjet, their fingers intertwined and they heard Okoye sigh as she was next to them and she muttered "When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world...This is not what I imagined." Okoye said and Orchid's husband T'Challa looked at her
"And what did you imagine?"
"The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks." Okoye pointed out and Orchid nodded in agreement "I'm glad I'm not the only one campaigning for a Starbucks.. I've been trying to convince him for one.. It hasn't worked yet"
Okoye, Orchid and T'Challa watched as the Quinjet opened and out came Steve, Connie, Nat, Bruce, Sam, Rhodes, Vision and Wanda coming down.. They saw Felix and Janet following a bit behind, both had smiles on their faces as they ran towards the group and Janet crashed into her grand-niece.. One of her only family members left
"Hey you" Janet whispered and Connie smiled as tears came down her eyes "I missed you Aunt Janet.. How have you been?"
"Been hiding you know.. Making sure everything is okay" Janet said and Connie nodded in understanding.. In the past two years well.. Janet spent time with Connie's mother Sarah-Jane.. For the sake of Janet's girlfriend.. They had broken up, Janet wanted to protect her now ex-girlfriend.
"Should we bow?" Bruce questioned Rhodes and Connie couldn't help but smirk at Rhodes' response "Yeah, he's a king and she's a queen." He said and Connie followed Steve as he shook hands with the royal couple "Seems like I'm always thanking you for something." Steve said and Orchid chuckled softly "You're a friend.. That's what friends are for actually" She said as Orchid and her hugged. Orchid and T'Challa's eyes widen a bit when Bruce bowed to them.. A bit awkwardly.
"What are you doing?" Rhodey asked, pretending to be shocked and T'Challa dissuades Bruce with a motion of his hand, Orchid shaking her head in amusement "Uh, we don't do that here." He said and Orchid nodded in agreement "Please.. Just a handshake would be nice" She said with a soft smile and she looked over at the group "So how big of an assault can we expect?" She questioned as herself and T'Challa started walking, Okoye and the group following
"Uh, ma'am, I think you can expect quite a big assault." Bruce said and Orchid sighed "Of course.. We're ready for that" She said as her husband nodded in agreement. Natasha spoke behind Connie "How we looking?" She said and T'Challa nodded
"You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..." T'Challa stopped when he noticed that Connie stopped dead at the figure coming towards them with a huge smile on his face.. How his blue eyes were shining when he saw her.
Steve and Janet looked on with happiness as all of a sudden Connie ran towards him and he rushed towards her, Connie literally jumping on him, wrapping her legs around his waist as they both hugged each other tightly before Connie brought him into a loving kiss
Bucky held on to her tightly as he kissed her back.. He felt so happy to have her here.. To hold her and kiss her.. Even if it meant the end of the world.
Steve cleared his throat and the two stopped and Connie released Bucky. Bucky, still having an arm around her waist grinned when Steve came towards them and soon the two friends hugged and Bucky chuckled "A semi-stable, 100-year-old man here to help" He said and Steve smiled "How've you been Buck?"
"Uh, not bad, for the end of the world." Bucky grinned and looked down at Connie who was smiling wide and Steve couldn't help but smile at the two.. They may not be together right now.. But they'll always love each other and Bucky loved and respected Connie so much.. Bucky even had a official way of asking Connie to stay with him forever.. To Settle down, and he asked Steve for Connie's hand during one of the last visits and Steve couldn't be more happy that both his best friend and great-granddaughter had happiness
Author's Note:
Sorry for the short chapter, I just wanted to put something out for you guys since I haven't updated in a while!
So if you haven't caught up, Bucky asked Steve for Connie's hand in marriage! Of course Steve said yes! It's a matter of when Bucky and Connie decide when to get back together!
They're one of my favorite couples to write along with Peter and Anthea because of how much Bucky thinks he's bad.. And how Connie doesn't see it, she sees past his flaws and loves him for who he truly is.
