It took Steve a few moments to even think as he wanted to drop to his knees and just bang his head on the wall.
Bucky also loved Mary.
He should have seen it coming, Mary was beautiful and kind and smart of course she turned heads when she entered a room back then. He never saw the looks Bucky gave Mary because of course Steve was also adoring his girlfriend
He wondered how Bucky would react to the fact that Steve and Mary had a child? A son who also was named after Bucky and also appeared to look the same age as both Steve and Bucky?
Steve didn't think that Mary would have ever had feelings for Bucky either but it probably did, it made him sick knowing that his girlfriend possibly had feelings for his best friend and brother.
"He's not like the guy you knew" A voice said and he turned and saw it was Sam walking towards him, Sam was of course his best friend but he couldn't really tell Sam about what he was thinking
"Whoever he used to be, the guy he is now.. I don't think he's the kind you save, he's the kind you stop" Sam said softly knowing Steve must be in some kind of condition after finding out he had a son, hell even Sam was shocked when he found out Steve had a son that was about the same age as him
"I don't know if I could do that" Steve said softly, he couldn't even think of fighting his own son if he came to it because that was his blood and he knew that both S.J and Bucky were both brainwashed during their time with HYDRA and even though S.J and The Snakes broke free from the brain washing by having more freedom Steve was a bit nervous if S.J and The Snakes suddenly got switched back to their HYDRA days it would be horrible.
"He might not give you a choice, he doesn't know you" Sam said and Steve looked at him and narrowed his eyes
"S.J barley knows me and I'm his father but he's trusting Riley and I and everyone else to beat HYDRA so they can finally be free" Steve defended and Sam snorted
"You think S.J will give in and have a father-son bond with you? He's killed people with Bucky and the others.. How can we trust him to not turn on us?"
"Because S.J cares about Riley and Natasha, he cares about Natasha a lot since he's seen her in action in the red room and has kept an eye on her from time to time. I assume Natasha has the same feelings for him because of how S.J is as a person, they were both made as weapons but broke free and look at them" Steve said as he was defending his son and looked at Sam
"So what do you think? Since S.J is bad will you think his daughter and granddaughter are evil too since they're from him and his ex-girlfriend? You think my family is evil?" Steve questioned as he got tense and Sam's eyes widen and shook his head
"No! I'm not saying his daughter and granddaughter are evil.. It's just if S.J switches back on to The Viper?"
"Then I'll help him get back to himself, he has The Snakes and Riley and Nat to help him" He defended as Sam sighed and nodded
"Alright, I'll always be on your side" Sam said before Steve looked and saw Riley was around and Sam looked back and saw Riley and he excused himself and walked back to the warehouse and Steve watched as Riley walked up to him but kept her distance from him
"How's everything?" She asked and he just shrugged
"I'm alright, you?" He asked and she shrugged "Same"
Steve looked at her and went closer to her and took her hand and intertwined their fingers together
"Thank you, for sticking by my side through everything" He whispered quietly and she smiled softly and nodded
"You know that I'll do anything for you, you know that" She whispered and he looked at her for a moment before looking down
"I know you're not Mary, you'll never be like her but I'm also glad" He whispered and she looked at him shocked
"Mary was soft-spoken, quiet and humble.. Didn't ever lay a hand on anyone. You're like fire, you know what you want and you will fight for it but still remain great, I just needed you to know I feelings for you because of you, not because of whose your family member" He said as he looked into her brown eyes and her mouth was open and she actually had the biggest smile on her face
"Thank you Steve, for telling me this because I thought you only did have feelings for me since of who my grandmother is" She whispered and he shook his head
"You're awesome Riley, I sometimes think you're too perfect for me.. I don't know how I got so lucky to have you two in my life when I didn't deserve that" He said and she smiled and shook her head
"You deserve it, Captain Rogers" She smiled as they leaned in and kissed, Steve felt like the world stopped around him and it was just them. It was so perfect and he wished he could stay like that forever with her.
Once he broke free they heard some laughter and squealing and they turned to see S.J running after Natasha and it seemed like they were playing a game as S.J picked Nat up by the waist and spun the both of them as Natasha was laughing and enjoying having S.J around
"Looks like we have these lovebirds there" Riley noted as S.J placed Nat down as Natasha smiled at hugged S.J tight before she whispered something into his ear and he smiled and nodded before Natasha leaned forward and brushed her lips against his as they were kissing each other softly before Natasha walked back inside and S.J saw his father and Riley and Riley knew that the father and son duo needed to speak
"I'll leave you guys alone, I need to plan with Hill anyways" She whispered before kissing Steve on the cheek before walking towards the door and passing by S.J, she touched S.J's shoulder gently before nodding at him and walking inside.
S.J looked at Steve for a moment before slowly walking towards him
"I don't know where to start" S.J said carefully as he was finally face to face with his father
"I honestly don't know either" Steve said before they were quiet for a moment before Steve spoke up
"Was she happy?" Steve asked and S.J smiled softly and nodded
"She was, she treated me perfectly until the end.. Along with Uncle Howard and Aunt Peggy"
"You know Peggy is still alive right?"
"Yea, I feel like if I went to her now she might not know who I am.. The last time she saw me I was a child after all" S.J pointed out and Steve chuckled nodding before S.J coughed
"I would think what would I say or do when I was finally face to face with you if you were alive? Would I fight you? Try to kill you? Talk to you?"
"What do you feel like doing now?" Steve asked, understanding his son and S.J sighed quietly
"I want to defeat HYDRA, I want my team free from their grasp.. Having you on my side makes it feel better because I know we can beat them.. Together" S.J said as Steve had the biggest smile on his face
"When this is over and we're both alive, why don't we grab some food and we can catch up on the 70 something years that we missed?" Steve suggested and S.J looked over at the waterside and smirked
"Of course, of course I'll have to bring Nat with me too.. I kinda promised her a drink and all too" S.J said as Steve raised his eyebrows and S.J explained
"Nat and I are taking things kinda slow, we're kinda together but we need to focus on HYDRA first and after that we'll decide what we'll be" S.J said as Steve looked shocked
"I didn't expect Nat to be in a relationship that fast" He said and S.J laughed at him
"I didn't either, but we're cut from the same cloth and we know what we've been through.. We had an encounter before but it had to do with Bucky shooting her and me making sure she didn't get killed by him, I just couldn't date her.. It was hard that time with the death of Alice but now I'm actually good." He said and Steve nodded before thinking
"Will you talk to your daughter after this? Meet your granddaughter too?" Steve asked and S.J nodded
"I would like to, I think Sarah-Jane deserves to know who her father is and that her father didn't leave her all those years ago"
"But won't it be weird that you look younger than her?"
"Isn't it weird that we look the same age?" S.J asked and Steve nodded and they both laughed before Steve nodded
"I would like to meet her too, it's nice to know that I have family here in this modern world" He said and S.J nodded
"I agree, I'm happy to know that she's alive and healthy" S.J nodded as they looked into the sunset for a moment
"So where do you wanna start?" S.J asked and Steve had many questions before opening his mouth to ask the questions
That night everything was fine until they heard a piercing scream and Riley shot up from the sofa as she looked and saw Steve and Sam were running towards the other room and Nat was already beating them by almost kicking the door down but Felix opened the door quickly
"It's okay, Janet just had a nightmare" Felix explained quickly as he opened the door wider to show S.J holding Janet close as she was sobbing and Jasper and Sean around them whispering and rubbing her arms showing they were here
S.J looked over and saw the others at the entrance of the door and looked at Felix
"Felix, can you get them out for a moment she needs to calm down before she has a panic attack" S.J spoke in Russian as Felix quickly made his way out of the door and closed it behind him
"Sometimes all of us have these nightmares, from our days of HYDRA and some nightmares are bad but some are worse that can trigger something.. Panic attacks, crying, but we never return to our HYDRA forms.."
"What do you have dreams about?" Riley asked carefully as she felt Steve's arms wrap around her waist pulling her close to him
"Well I have dreams of the day HYDRA killed my parents in front of me and took me out, Sean mostly had dreams of his sister being tortured by HYDRA before she was killed.. His parents left him and his twin sister in the streets and HYDRA took them.. Janet has nightmares of the day her sister was killed by The Winter Solider and HYDRA the day the baby was born.. Jasper has nightmares about the day his village was burned to the ground and he couldn't do anything to save his family.."
"S.J?" Natasha asked worried about him and Felix actually shrugged at her
"S.J sleeps far away from us, he doesn't want us to worry about him.. We don't even know if he has nightmares" He said and Natasha sighed and soon they heard the sobbing die down and Sean came out looking almost relaxed
"She's good, we calmed her down.. But she's still not in a good condition so Jasper and S.J are going to stay with her until she's asleep again"
"I'm so sorry this is happening to you" Hill said before Felix sighed and shook his head
"I'm sorry that you have to go through this with us"
"You're part of our team now, if one of us is not okay we are not okay" Steve said warmly before Felix nodded before Sean and him said a goodnight before they went inside to help their teammate fall asleep
"I feel so bad for them" Riley said quietly and Steve nodded
"I know how they feel, from time to time before I met you I had nightmares" He said and Riley looked at him sadly but he shook his head
"But having you in my life and when you would sleep over even on the sofa, knowing you were in the living room would make me safe at night." He said before kissing Riley's hair and she looked at him for a moment
"Wait.. You don't have your uniform on you" She said remembering they had to get rid of Steve's current uniform
"Well.. We have somewhere to go in the morning" Steve said before they went off to bed
Author's Note:
This was a quick chapter and I felt like S.J and Steve needed to talk, I'm so glad this story is almost over but we have the 5-7 part story to do until AOU which will feature Riley and S.J being the OC characters.
Next Chapter:
Lily comes in the picture but something tragic happened to her and Ward.
Cap vs Bucky
Bucky/Mary flashback
S.J and The Snakes being involved in the final battle and fighting for their freedom.
Civil War is happening and I'm glad! I already made the teams and now that Spiderman is in the team, it's Ten vs Ten for Team Cap since Ant-Man's OC, Black Panther's OC, Bucky's OC and The Snakes are involved
We will see Bucky's OC in the end and it's quite a surprise who she is, let's just say this story will involve a time-traveling evil inhuman and the main characters are this O.C, S.J and Natasha so we can dig deeper in Nat and S.J's relationship
S.J and Nat's ship name is The Black Viper, while Riley and Cap are Smogers
Since I said this before I wanna make it clear, If Steve dies in Civil War I want to make Riley the next Captain America but more of a female version if Bucky or Sam or S.J decide to step up. But I plan on making Civil War angst af.
Thanks for reading!
