Part one

Steve Rogers, with the help of Sam Wilson, has been searching for his long-lost friend Bucky Barnes for the past two years.

They had followed countless clues that led to nothing, but it didn't stop them from continuing their search.

Three days ago, Friday, the AI of Tony Stark had found a person that really looked like Bucky in the CCTV footage of a bank in Belgium. So they went to an abandoned Shield safe house in the area that wasn't in use anymore after Hydra and Shield's fall. Their hopes weren't too high, but Steve was still positive. Sam wasn't as hopeful, but he knew that his friend couldn't do this alone. He would probably do the same if he found out that Riley was still alive.

They had been in the safe house for a few hours and were discussing their next moves. They had decided to lay low for a while and wait for more sightings. In the evening, Sam would go grocery shopping, and after that, they wouldn't leave the forest; the safe house was located within .

The day had gone by painstakingly slowly, and after the 10th game of cards, Sam got ready to leave.

He walked out of the forest and into the small village, then got into the old, rusty car parked in front of a motel that looked like it had a maximum of five guests a year.

He went to various shops and bought everything they needed for the next two weeks.

He drove back to the village and started walking back. He was about five minutes into the fifteen-minute walk back to the house when he started feeling watched. He didn't know if it was just paranoia, some Hydra agent seeking revenge, or if the guy they were looking for had maybe found them first. He knew that if it were the bad guys, he was probably outnumbered, so he set the bags down and started looking around.

There was nothing at first, but after a few minutes, he heard a stick snap to his left. He spun around to see the silhouette of a person holding a machine gun about a hundred meters away from him.

He couldn't make out any distinguishing features because of the dense trees, but enough to know that it was indeed the Winter Soldier. He was wearing casual clothing, and if it weren't for the gun in his hand, he would look pretty normal.

Sam wasn't sure if the soldier was aggressive towards him, but he knew that he couldn't beat him in a fight, so he decided to take his shot and talk.

"Hey, Bucky," he called out. "I don't want to hurt you, and it would be nice if you didn't hurt me either." The soldier slowly moved closer, like a predator stalking its prey, never lowering his weapon. Sam was nervous, but he knew his best chance of survival was to stay as calm and nonthreatening as possible.

When he was only a few meters away, the soldier spoke up: "You're here with Steve."

Even though it wasn't really a question, Sam answered: "Yes, we were looking for you, but it seems that you found us first."

The expresion on the assasins face shiftet into somthing puzzeled as he asked:" Why? I've tried to kill you"

Sam smiled at him, "You tried, but you didn't, and besides, it wasn't your fault; the Hydra controlled you, but you broke free. So, we want to help you."

The soldier said nothing but lowered his weapon.

Sam didn't want to stress the very confused-looking man in front of him, so he calmly said, "I'm going to pick up these bags now and start walking back to the safe house Steve and I are staying at. If you want to, you can follow me; but you don't have to - it's your choice." He moved slowly, picked up the bags, and began walking. After a minute or so, he heard a pair of footsteps starting to follow him and smiled to himself, finally.

The walk back to the hous was quiet and Sam was left with his thoughts , he was nervous but chose to lay his worry aside for later. For now he focused on the suprise he had for the captain.

When the two men entered the clearing the house stood in Sam turned around and gave the soldier a reasuring smile before went to the door and knocked in the rythem he and Steve used as clarefication that it was really them and not some Hit man. After the knock he unlocked the door and steped inside gesturing for the soldier to follow him .

"Sam, your back", came Steves voice from the kitchen area ," I was contemplaiting if I should make somthing to eat but I didn't want to risk the house burning down"

"Hey Steve", Sam said ignoring the attempt of humor from the captains side," I braught a guest you might want to meet." A second later Steve steped into the hallway freezing at the unexpected sight of his best friend," Is it really you Bucky?" , he asked shakingly.

A small nob came from the man standing next to the door and it took all of Steves selfcontrol not to wrap his armes around his long lost friend and never let him go again! So he said as calm as he could :" Why don't you come into the kitchen we should cook somthing together." Stifly the soldier followed invitation and followed Steve into the kitchen.

Captain America smiled greatfully at the Falcon, this was a start.

So thats it for the first chapter, i hope you liked it, pleas let me know what you think.
