Hope you guys still enjoy this story so far. I am still juggling with how to make more descriptions in Bucky's feelings, I want my reader to feel the magic of the changing of the character. Here comes the new chapter, hope you enjoy it.
It's morning, it's still quiet in Avengers building.
Cia wakes in Bucky's embrace, the truth is that, nothing happened. They are just 2 people who hold each other to sleep. Cia gets the chance to sneak a little peek on Bucky's sleeping face. He's so undefended, pure and peaceful in his dream with his stable breathe slightly flow on Cia's skin. 'What a nice looking guy,' she thinks. Cia puts her hand on Bucky's face, tries to wake him. They both should have been prepared for the battle right now.
Bucky opens his eyes, looks directly into her eyes, he uses his amazing lips says "Morning," He feels so pleased to wake up besides Cia. He presents his perfect smile as a present to the girl in his arms. Cia blushes, and she doesn't know why. He holds Cia even tighter, he just wants this moment could stay a little bit longer. Bucky grabs Cia's hand and gives her palm a kiss. This action explains almost everything, 'Stay with me, wouldn't you?' he thinks.
For Cia, she didn't get the signal until now. You can say how stupid and how much possibility can a woman doesn't understand a guy's feeling when he's doing all of those big gestures. But yes, Cia doesn't expect to find anybody to love on Earth, or even the universe. She knows that Bucky is such a supportive person to her, he is always there for her all the time. Still, she is limited by her culture, where is her fate?
She knows that she doesn't feel anything when she's with Luke. He is not too bad, but it doesn't feel that right. Bucky is a person who doesn't born with FATE, if finding the right partner is the job of her life, would that included even after the disaster?
Cia freaks out a bit, she leaves her bed immediately, "I think we should be prepared now.", she is asking Bucky to go.
With Cia's sudden action, Bucky feels a bit cold in his arms. He gets up, and walks to the door, "See you in a bit." He still smiles to her, he doesn't understand what's happening inside Cia's brain. He leaves.
When a woman is worried, she really is. There are thousands of thoughts running through her head, 'Should I go for it?' 'What if he isn't the one?' 'What if he is?'…etc. Her brain only born with a particular size, these thoughts are nowhere out. Feels like different snakes are eating and cutting each other's way inside her head. She knows she shouldn't be thinking of this right now, there are things lots bigger than that waiting for her to do. Somehow, at this moment, she just can't help it.
Suddenly, the rainbow bridge is surrounding her, she can't help but thinking, 'what is happening right now?' She is sent back to Asgard, there isn't Hemidell that she is expecting, but there is Luke. "What…?" Cia says to Luke.
"Come on now, let's go." Luke grabs Cia's hand and run to a spaceship. "We can't stay here any longer," Luck doesn't explain much to her, he just makes her to sit in the spaceship with him.
"Could you please tell me what's happening?" Cia shouts,
"I will let you know when we get there." Luke takes off and flies to the space.
They arrived at a planet that Cia has never seen before, there are dead plants everywhere. The sky is dark grey, where they landed is a place out of nowhere.
"Where are we?" Cia asks,
"Some place safe." Luke says,
"You know that I should have go back to Earth and help the Avengers with the battle," Cia demands Luke to explain what's going on,
"Wait, let me get you to my house," Luke ignores,
They walk about 30 minutes, there are no other creatures in their sight. Cia didn't travel a lot back in the days in Fieotimo, even she can understand that this isn't usual for a planet. If this planet isn't dead, or it's abandoned.
"Here we are!" Luke says,
The house in front of them looks like a shelter made of rocks. Luck pulls out a secret path for them to get in.
Inside of the shelter, there is a wall of the intelligence resources of Frost giants. It can be way back to previous 100 years. As a soldier of Fieotimo, Cia knows that even the general office wouldn't have such resources like this.
"Who are you?" Cia asks Luke, looking suspiciously.
"I am sorry that I didn't tell you," Luke says, "I used to work in the Intelligence Department of Fieotimo. Then soon enough, I figured out that with the force of the frost giant's alliances, there is no way for our galaxy to win from it. I tried so hard to tell the general, but his hospitality insist to assist the Asgard for that battle." Luke takes a deep breathe, "That's when I figured out a plan to escape, I was thinking that if I am the only possible survivor of the planet, I can responsible for carry on our culture and custom." "Then you came up," Luke looks into Cia's eyes, holds her hands.
Cia is quiet, digesting the words came from Luke's mouth.
"Once I heard about there is still one survivor from Fieotimo, I showed up in Asgard as soon as I can, I pretend that I was going on a business trip and finds out the disaster until I got back. Do you know why I did that?" Luke asks,
Cia has a feeling that she already knows the answer,
"Because I was thinking that maybe you and I are just belong together, once I have this thought in mind, I can't just leave you out there," Luck adds, "Listen to me, you don't mess with those enemies, they are too cruel. Their power can take over any place they lay their eyes on. They knew that the Avengers is good, but they can still find a way to take them down first, and burns Earth afterwards."
"Gush, how could you even stand here and doing nothing?" Cia shakes his hands off, she screams, "We have to go, now!" Cia needs Luke to take her back.
"Please, Cia, think about it. We couldn't take risk on our lives anymore, we are the only hope for our planet, if we go there right now, or even worse, if we die. We are not really helping anyone!" Luke tries to keep clam
These words made Cia deeps into thoughts, "So you are saying that… we should be selfish?" for the first time in her life, she says the word ' Selfish', and she can't believe she is considering about it.
"Please, you must understand me, you are the only one in this world that I need to make the right decision." Luke is almost begging her.
Both of them stay silence, "Cia…" Luke whispers.
"I need a moment out." Cia finally spits the words and walks out.
Once she's out from the shelter, she runs, not for escaping form Luke, but escaping from her thoughts. These selfish ideas are the worst ones in her brain ever. She goes from mile to mile, running between the dark sky and the deathful ground. 'This isn't true, this isn't true, this isn't true…' repeating these words in her mouth. The image of the destroyed city, family, friends, the enemies face… it's all coming back again. She suddenly stops on a giant rock before going down a cliff. She kneels down, looking desperately to the clouds. "Why…" she speaks to no one, she wishes somebody could tell her the reason why for all of these. She closes her eyes, hoping this would make her escape from where she stands, but it doesn't work.
A little voice inside her head says "Use your own voice,"
"I can't, I don't even know who am I right now."
"You do, you know who you are."
"How? I can't handle all of these! I don't know what's the right decision to make!"
"You do, remember who you really are."
"…."
Cia opens her eyes, she knows, she knows what should she be doing now. Her brain can't be more clear, she runs right back to the shelter. She knows what to say, what to do, and what to act now.
"Luke! I am back!" Cia says as she walks into the door,
Luck is watching the screen on the wall, it displays new messages from the outside world.
Luke turns his head to her, he says, "Avengers is down."
