I'm not getting any reviews... I'm sad.

oOoOoOo

The first time Tony tried to reach out to Bucky, he had made sure Steve was out of the Tower and then he had made pancakes, before asking JARVIS to tell Bucky to come to the communal floor.

Bucky had shown up a few minutes later, still looking sleepy. It had made Tony laugh, and it had starled him. He had realized that he didn't remember when was the last time he had laughed before that. Bucky had looked at him strangely, before focusing on the pancakes.

Tony had opened his mouth to start conversation, maybe ask Bucky if he needed anything, or if his metal arm felt alright, but at that same instant the door had slammed open, revealing Captain America, still sweaty from his morning run.

"Get. Out." The blond supersoldier had growled between gritted teeth as soon as he had noticed Tony.

"What's wrong, punk ?" Had asked Bucky, confused, at the same time as Tony had shot back : "This is my tower, if someone should get out, it's you."

Steve and Tony had glared at each other for what felt like hours, completely ignoring a very confused Bucky who didn't know what to do.

"Come on Bucky, let's go." Had finally spit Steve.

And they had left.

That night, Steve had left a letter in Tony's room. Tony had had to close his eyes for a few seconds to fight back the memories they had shared in that bedroom. Then he had picked up the letter.

It read : "Don't go near Bucky again, or you will regret it. -S.R."

Steve could not sleep. Tony had found out about the true reason why he had left him. He knew it was because of Bucky, and now the genius wanted to get his revenge, he wanted to hurt Bucky. Well Steve would not let him. He would defend Bucky until his last breath.

The second time Tony tried to talk to Bucky, it was out of concern. He wanted to check that the arm was working well. So he told JARVIS to wait for Bucky to be alone before asking him to come down to the workshop.

He didn't have to wait too long. Merely an hour later the supersoldier was standing in his workshop, looking a little lost. He was looking around at all the robots and screens and Tony could see the confusion and wonder in his eyes. Bucky was way too cute, it almost hurt to look at something so perfect. Just as the thought went through the genius' head, Bucky's eyes narrowed on him, and for a moment the inventor seriously feared that Barnes had mind reading habilities he never told anyone about.

"You look tired. And sad." Stated the man. "You need to eat and sleep."

Tony was startled, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. No one ever looked at him long enough to notice anymore. Not even Pepper, or Rhodey. Or maybe no one wanted to notice, because then they'd have to take of him, and he would become even more of a pain in their ass.

Then he put on his media smile and laughed.

"You're a funny guy, Barnes. So, I wanted to see you to check on your metal arm, would it be ok for me to open it and see if everything is in place ? I promise it won't hurt. Well unless something's broken, then I can't promise anything. By the way do you like it ? It can feel temperature and touch and pain, because most people think feeling pain is a flaw, but it's actually an asset."

Bucky suddenly flinched.

Words and screams of pain were echoing in his head.

"The Asset."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !"

"-ter Soldier."

"Ready to comply"

Russian words and sentences he could not comprehend. A dark, menacing laugh.

"Asset."

"Mission."

"Sergeant James Barnes..."

"-eady to comply"

Bucky's head hurt. He took a step back from the man in front of him, and he looked around him, searching for something, anything to ease the pain and make the voices leave. When he looked back at the man, he saw Howard Stark. The mess of words and sounds in his head got even louder then.

Russian words. He could understand them. They said :

"Good morning soldier."

"Ready to comply" No.

"I have a missiong for you" NO.

"Sanction and extract." NO !

"No witnesses."

This time Bucky screamed for real.

Strong arms were restraining him, he felt trapped. What was happening, why was he trapped ? Did they get him again ? Did someone stop him before he killed Howard ?

"BUCKY ! BUCKY COME BACK TO REALITY ! BUCKY IT'S ME IT'S STEVE !"

"Steve ?" He croaked, confused.

"Yes, yes it's me Bucky. Are you.. Yourself ?"

Bucky frowned. What a strange question.

"Where is Howard ?" He asked instead of answering.

"Howard ?" Repeated someone from behind him. "Howard's dead. Barnes, you're more than 70 years later, did you forget ?"

"I killed him." Replied Bucky in a trembling voice. He didn't know why he said that, but it felt like the truth. "I remember it." Parts of it. "They told me to kill him"

"Bucky. Bucky this is nonsense. You're in shock, look at you, you're shaking like a leaf. You don't know what you're saying. He doesn't know what he is saying, Tony."

Bucky didn't say another word, letting Steve guide him to their room.

Tony let himself fall on the ground and just sat there, watching the two supersoldiers walk out of the workshop.

"JARVIS, investigate on my parents' death, and try to spot any link to the Winter Soldier."

"Yes, sir."

Tony didn't sleep that night.

Steve was running his fingers through Bucky's hair, wishing he could comfort Tony too. He saw the look on the inventor's face, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that Tony triggered a flashback about Howard in Bucky's mind. What Bucky had said... It was most likely the truth. But it wasn't Bucky. It was the Winter Soldier.

Now, Tony was going to hate Bucky even more. Steve needed to give him a real warning this time, since the first one hadn't been effective.

Slowly, he got out of the bed and went to his living room, careful not to wake Bucky.

He then pulled out his phone and called Stark.

It didn't take long for the genius to answer.

"What do you want from me, Cap ? Answers ? Because yes. Yes the Winter Soldier killed my parents."

Steve's eyebrows shot up. Well, that was a way to pick up the phone.

"I called to tell you to never get close to Bucky again. You triggered his flashback today. It's your fault. Always has been."

His voice was softer than what he had wanted it to be, but he decided to ignore it.

It killed Steve to say all that. But it was necessary. It was for Bucky's safety, because Tony must hate him : Bucky stole his parents, and his lover. Who wouldn't hate someone who did that to them ? Tony was a threat to Bucky. Tony wasn't even getting that hurt, because Tony never loved him, he loved Captain America. Captain America was a prize for the inventor, the hero from the past that Howard surely never stopped telling his son about. Tony would never have loved him back then when he was just a kid from Brooklyn.

When Tony didn't answer, Steve added in a dark, threatenning tone.

"This is your second and final warning."
