Chanting: Vaughn Vaughn Vaughn Vaughn! May we have some captain Vaughn headcannon?

Absolutely!!

Note: I made him a damaged boy. Please forgive me. Also! Alcohol and alcohol abuse are in these headcanons. If this triggers a lot of you, I can write a more censored version so you all can still enjoy it.

Captain Vaughn relationship and general headcanons

SFW

Vaughn seems like a pretty relaxed and level headed clone

He wasn’t at first

You probably met him at 79’s

He was a corporal when you first meet him(Because this is before the bad times obv)

Vaughn is a little older than the Domino squad boys, but he still isn’t as old as his Captain

When he was younger he was definitely a bit more rowdy, which is when you met him.

He drank and partied a lot. Like, A LOT.

Sometimes he would come up missing, because he was passed out in an alley somewhere.

Sometimes he’d be too busy throwing up so he couldn’t exercise or train

He was obviously in a very dark place

He definitely flirted with you. He would’ve been smooth if he hadn’t been slurring his words

Vaughn was obviously a mess, so you too didn’t get into a serious relationship

You two stayed friends as he went through this terrible phase, trying to help him in anyway you can

Eventually he calms down.

Of course only after he gets in trouble a few times, has a drunk tattoo, and spends more time on the battlefield does he calm down

He stops partying as much, but he still drinks quite a bit

On Umbara he lost the last of his squad brothers who he trained with as a cadet

Umbara shattered Vaughn.

He showed up at your door in bloody armor and just collapsed into your arms in exhaustion and grief

That was Vaughn’s breaking point. He had finally gotten the realization that he shouldn’t waste his life like this

You help Vaughn get over his addiction, of course while falling deeply in love with him

One day he was laying on your couch in a pair of dumb pjama pants and one of your oversized sweatshirts, and he blurted out, “I love you.”

You dropped the plate you were washing and stared at him. You loved him too of course

Vaughn got a lot better, and that’s when your relationship took off.

You two began to go on dates, most of which were at small restaurants or picnicking in the public gardens

Both of you just needed to get out, which helped Vaughn even more

He didn’t want to step foot in 79’s ever again, so you both stayed far away from there

Vaughn always held your hand or had an arm around you in public, he didn’t care if others saw

You’re his whole entire galaxy and he’ll hold your hand if he wants to

Vaughn learned how to cook while he was away on a particularly long mission

You have no idea how it happened or who taught him(It was Kix)

You just woke up one morning to see your completely armored up boyfriend making you breakfast

He was back from the mission and he made you the best breakfast you had ever had

He began to cook you both food often

Eventually you had to hide cake batter and such from him because he loves sweets and wouldn’t stop baking shit

His slightly silly side came out around you, yet he was still pretty level headed and reserved once he was healthy again

As the war went on you saw how it had affected Vaughn, he became a better soldier but a more quiet man

His PTSD was awful after Umbara, so he had nightmares often

Most nights you cradle Vaughn’s head against your chest, letting him know that you would always be there for him

Sometimes he’ll tell you about the horrors that have plagued him sense he was a Shiny

All you could do was stroke his hair and listen, helping him let it all out.

You introduced scents and warm baths to help soothe him and it worked

In the bath his drunk tattoo is very visible on his chest. It’s a battle droid hand with the middle finger sticking up with no context

(@Hounding-Around’s idea)

He hates it but you find it hilarious

Vaughn is very touch starved, like all clones, so he loves to cuddle

He loves relaxing on the couch with you or in the bed

He’s not really clingy, he’s just kind of touchy

Vaughn is pretty romantic, and smooth as hell

One time you came home to a surprise dinner lit by candle light , while your clone boyfriend stood there in a suit

It was an amazing surprise

Vaughn is a sweetheart and sometimes a goofball, but he also has his bad days

His depression is pretty severe but you make his life worth living

He’ll bury his face into your hair and neck and whisper those words

Vaughn doesn’t know what he’d do without you

He often talks about a future with you, on some other planet

Where you two have children and a perfectly happy life

Vaughn isn’t away from Coruscant for too long thanks to his general, so he sees you a lot

He never brings any trinkets or anything, but he does shower you with love and affection!

Vaughn loves you with all of his heart, and he makes sure to prove it with his actions.

NSFW

Vaughn knows what he’s doing in bed, but not really

He hardly remembers so you’ll have to teach him some, but not everything

He learns quick and memorizes your body in no time

Vaughn can make you scream with pleasure now

If you trace his tattoo he’ll glare at you, but he loves the sensation

He’s a switch, but he prefers being topped

That doesn’t mean he won’t be in charge, because he enjoys that too

Vaughn isn’t very vocal at first, but once your sex life progresses you learn how to make him moan like a bitch in heat

You’ll have to be the one to bring up kinks and trying new things

He��d hop on board immediately! He loves experimenting with you

Vaughn will try whatever you want

As long as you get pleasure from it he’ll do it

He loves your moans and noises of pleasure

If you trace his muscles and just admire his body he will melt instantly

He is a slut for praise

Vaughn will often admire your body before kissing everywhere he can on your skin

He knows he’s lucky to have you, so he’ll worship you

He’s amazing at giving oral. He’s bad at dirty talking but his mouth works well for other things

Vaughn isn’t the biggest fan of receiving oral because it reminds him a lot of drunken nights

He’ll still fuck your mouth though.

He doesn’t like public sex or quickies that much because of that reason too

He has a breeding kink, like all clones, and he loves cumming inside of you

He doesn’t want children yet, but he’ll definitely get into the heat of the moment

Vaughn doesn’t always have to cum inside you though

When he decides to be romantic he’ll fuck you nice and slow, drawing the night out

When he’s stressed don’t expect to be walking the next day

His speed and how rough he goes all depends on his mood

No matter how or where you two fuck, he always treats you like a Queen/King when it’s over

He makes sure you get all cleaned up and he’ll relax beside you

If you want to take a shower or bath he’ll be happy to do so

After he takes good care of you he curls up with you

He always falls asleep with you in his arms, or the other way around

You Can't Be Here, Lt. Vaughn!

CT-0292 VAUGHN x f!Reader

No Warnings - JUST FLUFFY, FLUFF ROMANCE.

A/N: I wrote this after I saw artwork of Captain Vaughn from the VERY talented artist echo.base (ig) or here's their website. Since I have a wonderful weird obsession with Vaughn I decided to write another fic. Enjoy!

Something stirs you awake. Is that? What was that?

FWUMP!

Whatever just hit your window, and keeps hitting your window, is bound to wake the whole building up.

Without thinking, you rush out of bed and walk over in your not necessarily modest nightshirt. The chill of the room hits your bare legs as you clumsily comb your fingers through your hair and tuck it behind your ears. Through squinted sleepy eyes, you peek out the window.

“Vaughn?!”

Oh, merciless gods. My parents will kill me.

Quickly, you undo the latch and shove open the window. In the loudest whisper, you call down to him,

“Lieutenant Vaughn! What are you doing?! It’s two in the morning. My parents are sleeping down the hall!”

After months of forced separation, there he is, waving like a goofball from the street. That signature cocked-hip stance in his armor only makes him more attractive. Your eyes take him in once more. His hair is shorter, but it’s your Vaughn, for sure. You know, because it’s still somehow messy on the top. Both the heart in your chest and your frozen, shocked face are heating up with forbidden desire.

“Hello, mesh’la. I had to come and see you. I’m climbing up!”

“Vaughn, you—you can’t!”

You whisper-shout the words furiously, but you absolutely don’t mean them. You know that you’ve wished for this to happen almost every night since the last time you saw each other. It’s practically how you lull yourself to sleep most nights. And now, you see him in the flesh, moments from being exactly where you’ve longed for him to return. His well-practiced ascent up the four stories of small ledges, railings, and drainage pipes brings back those happier nights when the two of you were the strangest pair of friends.

It started with you and Vaughn sitting on your floor and just talking. You played him music that he had never heard and told him stories of what it was like growing up as a nat-born with a family. Vaughn was so curious what a strict and loving family was like, as he only knew the severe conditioning of trainers and the cold, distant hands of Kaminoan keepers.

Eventually, your talks moved from the foot of your bed to sitting on your bed. Then the two of you found yourselves talking, giggling, and comfortably laying in your bed. You were just as fascinated by his life as he was with yours.

He was always tender, always kind, impossibly funny— just a quirky friend. Just friends. Yes, you were an innocent, unmarried young woman who lived at home and indeed was just friends with an equally innocent, unattached, parentless, galaxy traveling, young clone lieutenant.

Until that unexpected night, months ago, when your friendship with Vaughn turned into more.

The night he first kissed you.

You both had been laughing in your bed, desperately trying not to wake up your family. So you put your hand over his mouth to keep quiet. Vaughn’s laughs seized, his expression changed to a desperate stare. He brought his hand to yours, both of you practically trembling. He gently kissed your palm. Then he kissed the pulse point on your wrist, his eyes never leaving your face. He shifted his body up over you so that he could slowly press kisses all the way up to your shoulder. Your lips beneath his, only a few breaths apart and locked at the moment, anticipating the kiss you both wanted and knew you absolutely should not share.

That first kiss.

You will never forget the feeling of how he melted into you with his kiss. It’s impossible to erase the memory of feeling like your spirit was ascending unto him. Feeling like you would float away, you had clung one hand to his broad shoulder plate, the other running busy fingers through his messy locks of dark brown hair.

Stop— I can’t think about that!

You curse yourself for forgetting the heartbreaking circumstances that have led to you quietly whisper-shouting to the man you love but cannot be with,

“Vaughn, my father will kill you!”

Finally, he grunts the last shuffle to your window ledge.

“No, he won’t. He’s a pacifist...by order of The Gods!...right?”

Vaughn’s beautiful face and messy hair were now before you—your chest heaving with excitement, anxiety, and longing. The smile that brightens on your face matches Vaughn’s equally gorgeous smile reacting to seeing you again after so long.

Lt. Vaughn really, really cannot be here.

You are promised to another. In thirty-three rotations, seventeen hours, and now nine minutes on the chrono, you will be married to a complete stranger but one of your faith. A custom of the religious order your family has been worshiping, strictly devout, for generations ad infinitum.

But right now, all you want is for Vaughn to stay forever and never leave your sight.

“Captain Rex almost caught me sneaking out, mesh’la. I risked it anyway. Something told me I just had to see you before I go.”

It’s as though no time had passed since that devastating night when your parents eventually caught him sneaking out. One comm message from you (dictated by your father) and one reply from Vaughn,

“I understand, cyare. Your friend, always. -Lt. Vaughn”

“You have to go?! What do you mean? You, you just got here! Where this time?

“It’s an exciting one, mesh’la…The 501st is heading to Mandalore!” Vaughn’s smile stretches from ear to ear and straightens his shoulders with pride.

Not you though, you are paralyzed in place. Your mouth turns down with a heavy dread. The chill in your bones froze what little wetness left in your mouth. A dry, painful swallow burns your throat and down to your heart. Your sporadic, untrained gift of visions and foresight plagues you with images of blood, horns, fire, darkness, broken glass, and bright blue eyes looking upon death, looking upon Vaughn.

“Don’t. You can’t,” you frantically motion for Vaughn to come inside finally. He dutifully responds and crawls through the open window, locking it behind him like he always used to, exactly like he always used to do.

“Can’t what? Kiss you? Of course, I won’t if -if you don––”

“NO, Vaughn! I mean you cannot go to Mandalore. Please…please don’t go.”

His golden eyes are searching your face, worried now and confused. He doesn’t know how to respond.

“I have to. I can’t just leave. You, of all people, should understand that.”

You take his gloved hand in yours, squeezing it tight to communicate something more than just begging words.

“I do. Just please, Vaughn, my love, listen to me….”

He steps closer to you. Closer enough that now you have to embrace him, your face pressing against his armor, his arms wrapping around your trembling frame.

“My love, my beautiful cyare, if I could be with you, I would stay and risk it all. You know I would. But we both know that can’t happen, you are promised to another, and I’m a soldier bound to fight or die.”

In this desperate moment, you have a decision to make—the significance of it weighing on your heart, locking up your gut, and spinning your thoughts. You squeeze the armor covering Vaughn’s broad and rugged frame tighter. He kisses the crown of your head, and every hair on your scalp reacts to signal the genuine love the two of you share. The coursing energy surges through your body right down to your toes.

You know what you have to do, and it will mean a sacrifice that will change your life forever. Knowing exactly what you want to happen next, you look up at Vaughn and say…

Day 8: Choosing to Help

Pairing: Mer Vaughn x Jedi Reader

Summary: Sometimes helping is more than worth the danger.

Author’s Note: So I know I haven’t given much detail on the Jedi in this AU. And that will change in tomorrow’s fic. So sorry if anything is confusing here because of that. Hopefully, there isn’t. Also, when you see the prompt… get your mind out of the gutter. It’s not gonna go down that route. 🤣

Warnings: some references to war trauma and this world’s version of order 66. But I think that’s it.

Word Count: 814

Prompt: A squid with human eyes must not be harmed, thrown back as quickly as possible. I’ve seen too many good fishermen cursed to let it happen again.

Prompt 3062 by deepwaterwritingprompts

The whole fishing boat goes deadly silent when they see what was in your hands. The massive fishing net had been pulled onto the deck. Among all the fish, you had seen the wriggling tentacles of an oddly colored squid; it was white and blue with a little bit of orange. You had slowly picked it up only to be met with a pair of brown human eyes. You just stood there unmoving and soon the whole crew stood around you with a meter of distance.

A gunshot draws you all out of your almost trance like state. Your captain stands with his flint lock pistol aimed at the sky.

“Don’t hurt it and throw it back.” No one moves. “Now! Do you want to be cursed!?” They all scramble out of your way as you dash to the railing. You hold your arms out to drop it in the water only for the tentacles to wrap around your arm. You hear the other sailors gasp behind you.

To your surprise though, it’s gentle and it looks at you expecting something. What’s worse is that you know exactly what it wants, but you can’t blow your cover here.

“Please let go.” You plead. It blinks at you for a long tense moment before it does just that. You let out a sigh of relief as the ship immediately begins heading for shore.

You have never had so many good luck charms thrown at you. The Mer who show interest like that don’t just give up and they all know that wasn’t the end. The Captain is just relieved he was able to save your life. However, for the safety of himself and the rest of the crew, he asks you to find different work. You are a bit annoyed but you don’t hold it against them.

And they are right this wasn’t over; you soon see that squid in the river that ran along the road home. You shiver, but don’t shrink away from it. In fact, you kneel down at the sandy river bank as he comes up to you. This river connects into the ocean you remember as he stops in front of you; you should have taken another way home.

“If I do this for you, they’ll know I’m here.” You want so badly to turn him away, but the pleading look those eyes give you makes you cave. You had seen and felt so many men with those same eyes die around you during the war. Even after your Mer clones tried to kill you, their dying cries on the battlefield still haunt your dreams.

You extend your hand out into the water and softly begin to chant. The squid swims up to you and you feel the slimy skin under your fingers. He waits patiently as you slowly transfer your raw magic to him; even with all your Jedi training, bringing suppressed magic back to the surface is difficult. You close your eyes, trying to increase your focus; you have to hurry.

A loud gasp of an all too familiar voice fills the air and you stop chanting. Your vision swims and the Mer clone’s arms barely catch you before you hit the shallow water.

“Easy. I got you, sir.” You laugh even though it makes your head hurt. You cuddle into him. You shouldn’t after what had been done to you by his brothers, but you have been alone for what feels like forever. It is nice to be held again.

“I’m not a general anymore.” You say softly. You feel him slowly get to his feet, but you can sense his uncertainty. You slowly examine his blue and white armor, recognizing the famous battalion color. “You have been stuck inside a squid since before the end of the war huh?”

“The war is over?” You have a lot to fill him in on and very little time to do so. The Inquisitors will be here soon; you know it.

“We need to run. I am now a wanted fugitive and you are property of the new empire.” You can sense his confusion and fear, but he hold you to him protectively. You could cry; you haven’t felt protected and safe in a long time. Slowly, you look up at the orange and white helmet, recognizing the pattern from an old friend. Those brown eyes from earlier meet yours and you can see black curls with blue tips sneaking out under the helmet.

“I’m Captain Vaughn.” He begins moving quickly toward your home, going the direction you had been headed before. “Gather your strength. I’ll protect you. I promise.”

Once you grab your kyber sword, you and Vaughn steal a small ship in the dead of night. He is able to activate the runes to get the ship in a hyper current just as your Inquisitor executioners arrive.

2020 fic recommendations

2019 fic recommendations.

So... 2020 was a bit of a shit storm wasn't it?! I'm not going to wax lyrical about my year, because while I had some real lows, and it did do a number on my mental health, I'm far luckier than a lot of people.

Something that really suffered was my creative spark, which was really annoying after rediscovering my love for writing in 2019. I know I'm signed up to a couple of writing challenges – if you are the host(s) of a challenge that I'm a part of, I am fully intent on writing those stories, and I'm super sorry for missing the deadline.

I am also super behind with my fic reading. I have around 70 fics in my drafts, that I am fully intending to read and reblog/comment on. If you've tagged me in one of your fics and I haven't interacted with it yet, I promise that I'll be reading it soon.

Below are some of my favourite fics and writers of 2020 - I’m sure that despite spending most of the day on this post, I will have forgotten someone and for that I can only apologize. If you want some more fic recommendations, I always use the tag #TwittyTelly Reads on any fic I reblog. I'm also planning on sharing fic recommendations more regularly in 2021.

Writers

@trillian-anders – Masterlist

I first came across Trillian at the end of last year with her incredible The Assistant Series, which I am certain will stick with me for a long time. I adored the slow, subtle way that she made Ransom redeemable without making him too out of character and without shying away from his awful deeds in Knives Out. I've also been really enjoying her Chef!Bucky and Plus sized!reader series Just A Taste, as well as her Steve series The Harlot.

@worksby-d – Masterlist

I came across Dest's work via her She's The One series, and Protective stepdad!Chris series. While these two have similar premises, I'm really enjoying the different takes on the Chris x single mum! Reader trope. If you want to be squished under a giant ball of fluff, I would recommend both of these fis. I'm also really enjoying her Andy Barber Series A Great Mentor, as well as her one shots/head cannons/requests.

@pagesoflauren – Masterlist.

I think it's safe to say that her Cowboy!Steve series Ride & Prejudice and Love & Brotherhood, and her Sugardaddy!Ransom Fic The Highest Bidder are some of my favourite stores I've read this year. I know he's fictional, but I would happily die for super soft cowboy Steve any day. Also in The Highest Bidder, I adored how Ransom's growth is also not too out of character.

@stargazingfangirl18 - Masterlist

If my reblogs are anything to go by, Siri has been consistently churning out the good stuff this year. Siri writes for a wide range of Cevans characters, including his pre-cap roles (whom I firmly believe don't get enough love, but I'll expand on that in a bit.)

Stories

The Assistant by @whiskey-cokenfanfic

May I Request…? by @imanuglywombat

Higher Love by @k-evans-writes

Love In A Time Of North Korea by @imanuglywombat

Don't forget by @threeminutesoflife

Let’s Get Physical by @sagechanoafterdark

My Wife by @joannaliceevans-fanficblog

Conversations by @jamielea81

Stories featuring Cevans' pre-cap characters.

As I briefly mentioned earlier, I feel that a lot of Cevans pre-cap characters don't get the love in fic that they deserve. One thing I have noticed this year is that this is changing. There have been a wave of Jensen fics, along with some great Mike Weiss, Johnny Storm, and Colin Shea stories. I have also seen one or two Lucas Lee, Nick Vaughn (which isn't a pre-cap character, but also doesn't get enough love) and Jimmy Dobyne. I also have plans for posting more stories featuring some of these characters (creative juices pending).

Unexpected (6/?)

(Not my GIF)

(This is my shitty border though. First try and all.)

You weren’t expecting it. Neither of you were.

That didn’t mean you weren’t happy with how it ended.

Bucky Barnes x Reader Fic.

Warnings: I don’t think there are any in this one? Sad Boi Hours, Firearms, A lot of dialogue from a lot of people.

“You haven’t heard from Frank? At all?” Karen worries over a cup of coffee the next day and you roll your eyes.

“Nope. I’ve tried calling him but, it goes straight to voicemail.” You sigh as you stare out the coffee shop window at the people passing by. “He’s fine though. I can feel it.”

“It’s not him we’re worried about.” Elektra snorts before reconciling her words. “Not that we’re particularly worried about which river they’re going to find Patrick in a few days from now.”

That brings a faint smile to your tired face. You doubt that your brother would actually kill Patrick. Frank had begun carving out a new life for himself here as and you knew he wouldn’t jeopardize it for the likes of Patrick Vaughn.

So, no, your brother wouldn’t kill him but, maiming wasn’t out of the question. A few broken bones wouldn’t lay too heavily on your conscience either.

Your phone goes off for the fifth time in as many minutes and you reach for it quickly.

“Ugh. Again? Who’re you texting that’s so important?” Elle groans, obviously slighted by the distraction. “This is the first time we’re seeing each other since you found out about Pat. We demand your undivided attention.”

“And you’ll get it.” You promise. “This is about my door needing to be fixed. Bucky asked me when I was free so he could get it done.”

The two women sat across from you share a look as you type out a response, laughing at the photo of Sam and Steve that was sent with it. It was abundantly clear the Captain America had no idea how to use a drill when you see him frustratedly trying to get it to turn on while Sam stands in the back, holding the battery in his hand, with a finger on his lips.

It was a comfort; knowing that the all mighty Avengers were just normal people.

“We’re calling him Bucky now?” Karen hums as she leers over the table. “And he’s offering to fix your door?”

You knew that tone and you knew what she was implying. For some reason it brings an irritated heat to your face.

Foggy had been implying the same things when you had called him last night and you weren’t sure how to broach the topic.

Sure, Bucky was a nice guy but, you knew he wasn’t over Claire and you definitely weren’t over Patrick no matter how much you wished you were. You couldn’t run away from fifteen years like he had and, just because everyone else was sick and tired of your previous relationship (which they had made abundantly clear in every call you made last night) you weren’t.

No. Your mind kept replaying all of the good times you had with your ex-husband. After what he had said to you yesterday, you wanted nothing more than to erase him from your mind but, it didn’t work that way.

Having Bucky, someone who was going through the same thing, helped immensely but, after he left last night and you were left alone with your thoughts, you crumbled. Your breakdown had almost been as bad as when you’d first met the super soldier. You were hurt and you wished your friends would stop telling you how much they hated the man you had been married to. It didn’t help. All it did was make you feel stupid and weak for not seeing the signs in the first place. They made you feel like shit every time they pointed out how poorly he treated you and they had no clue.

How do you tell your friends that? They were trying to be supportive but, it wasn’t the support you needed right now. Right now, you just needed someone to sit next to you and listen to you rant while watching cheesy movies and eating your favorite take out.

You needed Bucky as pathetic as that sounds.

“Yes. He’s fixing my door because Frank kicked it off of its hinges in a fit of rage last night.” You reply curtly when you realize you had been silent for an odd amount of time. “He should be at my place in a half hour so-“

“Okay, let’s get ready to go then.” Elektra cuts in. She’s pulling on her coat and throwing away your empty cups before you can protest. “What? I want to meet him and I’m sure Karen would too. Right Karen?”

She poses the sentence as a question but, you know it’s not. Her tone leaves no room for you to say no and you have to remind yourself that she was just trying to be there for you. The former assassin was still learning how to be someone’s friend and she often came off harsher than she meant to.

Forgoing a worded answer, Karen nods enthusiastically and you know you’re stuck. You knew that if you wanted to continue having a friendship with Bucky he would eventually have to meet your friends but, you weren’t sure if you were ready for that.

It wasn’t in Elektra’s nature to give you a choice though and you mentally resign yourself to it as you pull on your own coat and finish the muffin you had gotten for breakfast. The brunette smirks at you, knowing she’s won and Karen claps her hands giddily.

This wasn’t how you were expecting your day to go. You were hoping that you could go out to breakfast with your friends, go home, get your door fixed, and spend the rest of the day hanging out with Laysa and Bucky before collapsing back into bed so you weren’t dead on your feet tomorrow at work.

It would be your first day back since taking in the snow leopard cub and you had been counting down the days, now even more so.

Karen opens the door and you three make your exit onto the busy sidewalk. A cool breeze has you pulling your jacket tighter and you inhale the smell of the incoming fall season. The first day of October was quickly approaching and you hoped the changing of the seasons would help you adjust to the changes in your life.

“Let me just call Bucky to let him know that you guys are coming.” You voice when the thought pops into your mind that he might not want to meet your friends. He seemed okay with your brother but, that had been a whirlwind encounter that caught you both off guard. “I don’t want to spring this on him.”

Elektra purses her lips but shrugs instead of arguing.

When you look down at your phone, you’re shocked to see it already ringing with Bucky’s name being displayed on the screen. Once again a smile creeps onto your face at the sight as you press the answer button and bring the phone to your ear.

“Hey! I was just about to call. Is everything okay?” You chirp, signaling the girls to follow you as you begin the trek back to your house.

There’s a rumble on the other line and faint arguing that piques your curiosity and you’re trying to discern what’s being said when Bucky finally answers.

“Hey Doll.” He sounds out of breath and you have to wonder what has a super soldier like him breathing hard. “Everything’s fine. It’s just-“

“Y/N we wanna come over!” A voice that could only be Sam Wilson yells from the background, causing you to shake your head with a grin.

You hear James grumble something unintelligible before letting out a long sigh. “They want to meet you.”

“They being Sam and Steve?” You guess whilst biting your thumb, trying to hold back the peal of laughter that threatens to escape.

“Yes ma’am.” A much calmer voice comes through and you vaguely recognize it as Steve Rogers from yesterday’s call. His politeness is every bit what you would expect from America’s sweetheart.

“You’re free to say no.” Barnes cuts in. “Please say no.”

He was obviously in the same boat as you but, you weren’t throwing him a life vest anytime soon. If you go down. So does he.

“You can come on two conditions.” You hum and he groans. “One is that Steve never calls me ma’am again and two is whether or not you’re okay with meeting two of my friends that so rudely invited themselves.”

Karen sticks her tongue out at you childishly. When she does stuff like that it’s hard for you to picture her as the woman who stood up to Frank. The woman who shot an unarmed man all those years ago.

The thought suddenly strikes you that you and Foggy were the only people in your friend group that hasn’t committed murder.

You feel as though that should disturb you more than it actually does.

“Sam’s already on his bike.” Bucky’s deep chuckle snaps you out of your thoughts.

You bid him goodbye and find yourself walking with a bit more of a pep in your step. You didn’t want to think about why talking with the super soldier managed to dissipate your sour mood. You just accept it for what it was and continue walking.

“Was that a yes?” Karen coaxes whilst she loops her arm into yours, grabbing Elle as well.

Her excitement is palpable and you find yourself nodding. “You two are going to be meeting the ex-Winter Soldier, Captain America, and the Falcon.”

“Who wants to take bets on whether or not I get arrested?” Elle says it as a joke but, it opens a very real pit of anxiety in your stomach. Elektra had always been off most mainstream radars but, it was entirely possible that the Avengers know who she is.

Your blossoming mortification must show on your face because Karen swiftly elbows the brunette with a frown. “Why would you say that? No one’s getting arrested. Besides, its not as if you’re aren’t dating the best lawyer in New York City.”

Her words do little to quell the swelling storm in your gut but, you appreciate them nonetheless. Regardless, its too late to turn back when your home creeps into view, just in time for a trio of motorcycles to park in front of it.

None of the men are wearing helmets and you make a mental note to berate them later.

“That them?” Elle asks, feigning disinterest. She can pretend to not be apprehensive all she wants but, you can always tell when she’s lying. This is one of those times.

Meanwhile Karen is bouncing on the balls of her feet as if she wasn’t personally acquainted with several super humans, mutants, heroes, and villains.

Hearing your approach, Bucky turns to face you flashing an uneasy smile before opening his arms.

“Oh he’s hot as-“ You purposefully ignore the rest of Elektra’s sentence in favor of letting yourself be enveloped in James’ hug.

“Hey sweetheart. Sorry ‘bout this.” His voice is low in your ear and you have to fight the shiver that tries to run down your spine at the sound of it.

“Don’t you start apologizing.” You huff before reluctantly pulling away. “My girls are going to eat them alive.”

You wave over Karen and Elle brushing off their stunned stares as Bucky does the same.

“Bucky. This is Karen and Elle. Girls. This is Bucky.” While Elle hesitates to wave, Karen is grinning wide enough that it had you wondering if her cheeks hurt.

“Nice to meet you. I’m sorry it had to be under these conditions.” Elektra steps up when Karen blanks, shaking Bucky’s hand and nodding to the men behind him.

Captain America and the Falcon introduce themselves when James refuses to. Sam flashes you a mega watt smile that has you hiding a laugh behind a hand. Steve forgoes your offered hand and follows James’ suit, pulling you into a tight hug.

Steve’s mouth opens to say something but, is quickly cut off by Sam asking a question that makes your blood run cold.

“Hey, have we met before?” You don’t have to turn around to know he’s talking to Elle and you stiffen in Steve’s hold.

Peeling yourself away from the blond super soldier, you take your place next to Bucky and elbow him in his side.

Elektra shakes her head with a shrug. “I just have one of those faces-“

“Hey! Why don’t we head inside? I’ve gotta feed Laysa. You know how cranky she gets.” You cut in as you drag the brunet around your home and into the backyard. The back door was the only way in since Bucky nailed a few two by fours over the front door to keep it in place until he came back to fix it.

If Barnes notices your panic, he says nothing.

The back door unlocks with a click and you can hear Laysa as soon as the door opens. A smile creeps its way onto your face at the sound of mewling and, when you turn to face James, he’s wearing a matching grin.

You ask him to get her from the nursery while you get the bottle ready and he nods, motioning for the guys to follow him into your home.

“Smooth Kare.” Elle jokes when the blonde trips over the doorstep; obviously too entrance by the Falcon’s ass to pay attention to where she was walking.

“Shut up.” She hisses. “Can you blame me? I’ve never seen a group of men that good looking.”

“Karen.” You hum. “Super soldiers equal super hearing.”

Her face goes bright red and you do nothing stop the peal of laughter escaping your throat. It was a much-needed reprieve from the tension that had been tightening your muscles since stepping out of the coffee shop.

“Like Matt super hearing?” He worries, biting her lip and dutifully avoiding the office door as we pass by it.

That was a good question but, it wasn’t one you wanted the answer to anytime soon. For now you were walking the fine line of knowing heroes and vigilantes with no overlap. You wanted to keep a grasp on it for as long as you could. When lines blur, things get messy, and you had enough mess in your life as is.

“Who knows?” Elle sighs before taking a seat on your counter as you begin the process of heating up Laysa’s bottle. She seemed a bit too relaxed for a criminal who had almost been recognized and you absentmindedly wonder how long she could keep the act up. Elektra was the epitome of a strong woman but, everyone needed a place to crash. Matt was her place. Lord knows they earned each other.

The microwave beeping mixed with Karen’s hand waving in front of your face brings you back to reality.

“You okay?” She mouths as James and the others make their way into the kitchen. You wave off the question before taking the cub from James’ arms.

“That may be the coolest thing I’ve seen.” Sam grins and James rolls his eyes. “And I’ve seen a lot of cool things.”

“You do that often?” Steve’s eyes widen in fascination as Laysa eagerly latches onto the bottle. “Take in animals like that?”

“Y/N’s always looking to take work home. Before her it was the Macaws and before the Macaws it was-“ Elle trails off, snapping her fingers in frustration.

“Oh it was the Gharial baby with the nub leg.” Karen supplies while cooing over the cub. “Remember it bit Foggy and he had to get like five stitches? How’s he doing now?”

You remembered that night very well. More accurately, you remember Matt laughing his ass off when Foggy fainted at the sight of his own blood.

You loved that little reptile.

“He’s doing great now. Swims better than the rest of the clutch.” You reply, laughing when you hear Sam (not so quietly) asking Steve and Bucky if they knew what a Gharial was.

You choose to save the herpetology lesson for another time.

“Do you guys want anything to drink?” Elle asks, taking on the role of hostess while you’re indisposed and you shake your head before silently thanking her.

“I’m good, thanks. We better get started on the door.” James declines, petting the cub in your arm once more then walking out of the kitchen, toolbox in hand.

“You have fun with that Bonky. I’ll stay with the kitten.” You snort at the nickname Sam throws out and you file it into the back of your mind for later. “And Steve can’t figure out how the drill works so-“

The Captain flushes with a frown before grabbing the Falcon by the back of his collar and dragging him into the room Bucky had disappeared, leaving you alone with Elle and Karen.

Both of which were eyeing you with matching grins.

“No.” You deadpan. “Don’t even think-“

“So Bucky seems nice.” Karen voices. “Helpful too.”

“And hot.” Elle adds.

You groan.

Across the house, Bucky was diligently ignoring the probing stares of Steve and Sam wile removing the planks on the front door.

“So. How did the door break again?” Steve questions for the hundredth time since finding out about it last night. His best friend had been tight lipped about the aftermath of yesterday and, after seeing how Bucky was with you, he could understand why.

“Hand me the hammer.” He grunts while gently yanking the first piece of wood off the frame. James wasn’t sure if you’d be okay with the others knowing who your brother was so, he chose silence, much to the Falcon’s irritation.

“Doubt the ex kicked it down.” The aforementioned bird continues. “Man barely looked like he could lift a chair let alone break down a solid door.”

Bucky wants to comment that you ex wasn’t a man as much as he was a rat as you so eloquently put it yesterday. He takes the hammer from his friend’s hand and uses it to pry another set of nails out. The ex- Winter Soldier refused to leave you in a house with no front door and, after a silent staring contest that lasted all of three minutes, you caved, showing him to your basement filled with half finished projects. Apparently, you were quite the handy person yourself but never finished anything due to lack of free time.

Luckily for him, you had been meaning to replace the doorframe for some time and you already had all of the parts and pieces he needed.

“The world may never know.” Bucky grumbles with a roll of his eyes, effectively putting an end to the door questions. He had been looking forward to another quiet day, away from the pitying eyes of his team and, if he were being honest with himself, seeing you again. He didn’t have to pretend to be okay around you and you didn’t push him to talk about things he wasn’t ready to say out loud.

Laysa wasn’t a bad incentive either.

Your house had quickly become a safe place for him. Something you made sure he knew when you both said your goodbyes last night.

Steve’s phone goes off and the Captain wastes no time in opening the new text message. “Claire’s filed for a transfer. Nat just got the request.”

For a split second, Bucky pauses. For some reason, he had thought that his ex-wife would have put up a bit more of a fight for him. A part of him wished she would have put her foot down, said no to the divorce and demanded they work things out.

He would have said no but, knowing that she had given their relationship up so quickly stung. Steve and Natasha knew that he still had love for Claire and were hesitant to bring her up, while the others kept telling him how glad they were that she was gone.

Suddenly the image of you landing a punch to Claire’s cheek pushes the thought from his mind and he regains control over his body.

“Wait. Nat got the request?” Sam questions. “Isn’t that a Maria thing?”

The bird-man had a good point. Claire was a SHIELD agent and that was Maria Hill’s turf.

“As if that was going to stop her.” Steve chuckles. “Romanoff doesn’t concern herself with minor legalities.”

James couldn’t complain. This was Natalia’s way of showing she cared and he appreciated it more than she knew. He was sure hell would freeze over before Claire stepped foot in the Avengers’ Compound again.

The Captain pockets his phone once more and watches his best friend work. The way Bucky’s whole body relaxed when he saw you outside hadn’t escaped his watchful eye. Even if he had managed to miss that, the way he had opened his arms to you without a second thought sure as hell would have caught the blond’s attention.

Bucky had gotten better with people touching him but, he still avoided it as much as he could. His best friend hadn’t gone out of his way to hug someone since before the war. Steve wasn’t oblivious, he could see the hurt that lingered in the ex- Winter Soldier’s eyes and he’d seen it mirrored in your own. The moment you walked yourself into Bucky’s arms the Captain knew that there was something between the two of you; a mutual understanding of one another’s pain.

No doubt Sam was going to tease him about it later but, Steve was happy. He couldn’t pretend to know what his best friend was going through right now. He was just glad that he had you to go through it with.

Minutes pass in blissful silence and Bucky has to restrain himself from strangling Sam when he breaks it with a corny joke.

“You guys should go to the zoo. I heard they offer senior discounts.”

While Steve frowns, a grin crawls onto Bucky’s face. He stays silent for a moment as he relishes what he’s about to say next.

“You’re a little late to that train. Already made that joke yesterday.” You take the words out of James’ mouth when you enter the room with Laysa clumsily trailing behind you.

“Oh that’s cold.” The Falcon grumbles and the sheer disappointment on his face brings a chuckle out of Bucky’s chest. He turns to find you smirking at the air force veteran while rolling your eyes.

Elle passes you and grabs a remote off of the coffee table. Sam’s words from earlier come to the forefront of Bucky’s mind. Your friend does seem eerily familiar but, he just couldn’t put his finger on why. Her standoffishness reminds him of Natalia in a way but, other than that, she seemed like a completely normal woman.

After hitting a few buttons music pours out of the television, filling the silence with a low tune.

Sam, ever the conversationalist, decides to break the awkward tension. “So, do you guys work with Y/N?”

Karen shakes her head. “Oh god no. That’s too much school for me. I’m a journalist and I work at our friend’s law firm as an assistant part time. Never a dull moment there.” She finishes sarcastically and, as normal people do, Sam and Steve look towards Elektra next.

Your breath catches in your throat when she clears her throat. “I’m a personal trainer. Moved here from Greece a few years back to live with my boyfriend.”

Her answer is surprisingly normal and you applaud her for adding the personal touch.

“She’s actually dating one of my best friends, Matt. He was one of the lawyers that got our papers together.” You fill in a couple blanks to make the story more believable. “And we of course know what you guys do for a living. Saving the world must be a dangerous way to get paid.”

Out of the corner of your eye, you see Karen and Elle struggle to keep a straight face. They were no stranger to danger (Elektra being the danger most of the time) and you all knew it.

“Someone’s gotta do it.” Sam boasts with a puffed out chest.

Steve is more subtle. “We try our best to keep people safe.”

Conversation flows steadily from that point on with Sam and Karen picking up the slack from Elle and Bucky. An hour passes in what feels like seconds and you’re fearing that Karen has finally met her match when Bucky and Steve shoot to a standing position.

Its an odd sense of déjà vu when James backs away from the door to stand in front of you just as it’s kicked in once more.

There’s no cloud of dust this time and you can clearly see the form of your brother rushing in with a hand on his weapon.

“Y/N! Are you okay? I saw-“ He trails off when he sees the three men in the living room.

“Are you kidding me?!” You yell, pushing James aside then stomping your way to your brother. “Again Frankie?! Again?!”

Despite your anger, you’re relieved to see that he’s not covered head to toe in blood but, that doesn’t stop you from smacking him upside his head. “What part of you have a key don’t you get? Stop kicking down my damn door!”

Frank’s posture relaxes immediately and he shrugs sheepishly. “I saw the bikes and I thought-“

“Thought what?! That I was being murdered at noon on a Monday?” As soon as the words leave your mouth you wish you can take them back. You remember how bright the sun was shining the day your brother lost his entire family. “I’m sorry. I know you’re just looking out for me because you’re a great big brother and I love you for it. Can you just do that without busting down my poor door?”

Sam lets out a quiet what the hell at your admission. His shock warms your heart- not because your brother’s reputation proceeds himself but, because Sam’s surprise tells you that Bucky hadn’t told the Avengers about Frank. A secret that was now moot.

“Nat’s gonna freak when she finds out.” Sam chuckles behind you and, once again, déjà vu creeps up your spine.

Déjà vu that turns into a shiver when a low and feminine voice cuts through the air. “Nat already knows and she came down here to make sure you three don’t get turned into pink mist and a memory. Looks like there was no need.”

You can see a speck of red hair from behind your brother’s hulking frame. This whole situation was getting more ridiculous by the moment and you revert to your wish for a quiet day.

You could handle one Avenger. Tolerate three. But add another, your brother, Elektra, and Karen to the mix? It was too much.

“Hey danger.” She adds, bumping your brother’s shoulder with a wink. You had to hand it to the woman. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. Her blatant flirting obviously catches Frank off guard and all he can manage is a furrowed brown and wide eyes. “You don’t seem too shocked by this Barnes.”

“Not my story Natalia.” His response is simple and to the point but it still brings a smile to your face.

Shaking off your surprise, you then grab your brother by his arm and wave Natasha into your home.

“I guess that answers our door question, Cap.” Sam chuckles.

The aforementioned Captain stares at you with wide blue eyes. You’d think for a century old man he’d have seen it all but, watching you manhandle the most gruesome vigilante in New York (ex-vigilante he reminds himself) wasn’t something he was prepared for. Steve know understood what Bucky meant when he said you were something.

“Kare- check him. Make sure he isn’t hiding any stab wounds or bullet holes from me.”

The petit blonde takes his hand with a smile before leading him away from the group. You didn’t put it past your brother to have just shoved gauze into an open wound and call it a day.

You unconsciously gravitate back to James and you don’t realize it until he lays a hand on your shoulder.

“At least I was just measuring when he kicked it down. I can have it fixed in no time.” His reassuring smile coupled with Laysa now rubbing against your leg calms your frazzled nerves. Your house hasn’t been this lively in years and, although you know you should embrace it, you were tired.

“Tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Castle isn’t the only reason I came here. We have a mission.” The redhead points to the Captain and Falcon. Both men stand at attention and you have the gnawing feeling that although Steve was the captain, Natasha was the leader. “Nice meeting you Y/N.”

You watch with a raised brow as she crosses the empty threshold once more before answering with a weak you too.

She pauses and looks up at the cracked door frame with a frown. “Barnes you’re in this one too but, finish this up first.” Steve and Same both bid their goodbyes before following the woman out. You don’t let out the breath you’ve been holding until you hear three motorcycle start up and disappear down the street.

Karen comes back out- frowning at the now empty room before she shakes her head. “He’s clean but it doesn’t look like he’s slept in days.”

You scoop Laysa up with a frown. He was having his nightmares again and it had you worried. Guilt creeps into your veins when the thought crosses your mind. Patrick hurting you might have dredged up the past for Frank which explains why he rushed in earlier.

“I’ll take him hom-“

“No. I’ll take him. You have enough on your plate right now he won’t talk to you. You know that.” Karen bites her thumb after cutting you off. You could never piece together the nature of the bond she and your brother shared but, you’re happy that it’s there nonetheless. She was right, Frank would rather die than add his own problems to your full plate.

“Thank you.” You nod solemnly and she disappears from sight. Moments later you hear the back door close and you sigh.

“That’s my cue. Matt and I have plans for tonight and I’ve gotta get ready. You know- limber up.” Elektra stands with a cat-like grin. Her words have James coughing in shock and you snort. You almost want to tell Bucky the truth but you knew telling an Avenger that your blind best friend and his girlfriend were planning on canvasing the city to fight bad guys wasn’t the best plan, so you leave him to his embarrassment then give the woman a hug.

“I’ll talk to you both later. Be careful.” Out of the corner of your eye you see a blush burn onto Barnes’ face. Maybe it was cruel to tease him like this but, no one said that cruel couldn’t be funny.

She disappears in a flash of black hair, leaving you and Bucky blissfully alone.

“That was something.” You groan before plopping onto the couch. Of the several scenarios you had run through your head of meeting Bucky’s friends- the one that just transpired wasn’t one of them.

“It could’ve been worse.” He shrugs, picking up the forgotten door in an amazing display of muscle that has your eyes lingering on his back. “I think your brother and Natalia showing up added a bit of spice.”

You slam a pillow over your face hoping that it would somehow erase the memory of the last twenty minutes from your mind. “Weren’t you born in the twenties or something? Didn’t think you could handle spice.”

The playful jab has him shaking his head with a smile.

“I’ll have you know that I’ve eaten Carolina Reaper wings before. I can handle spice just fine.”

The pillow over your face muffles the snort that leaves your throat at his defense. The mention of the infamous pepper brings up an old memory from college.

“I almost killed Foggy with Reaper wings. He didn’t know what they were and, after eating one, he rushed for anything to stop the burn. He ended up grabbing a brownie laced with Black Scorpion pepper. Immediately started throwing up.” You find the strength to remove the pillow from your head with a bright laugh. “He had to chug half a gallon of milk to stop.”

Those had been easier times. Back when the three of you had the whole world ahead of you.

“Who laces brownies with pepper?” The man across the room frowns. “That’s just wrong.”

“Hey! It was a Halloween party. Trick or Treat.”

“Remind me to never come to one of your parties then.”

You gasp in indignation ready to fire back with I’ll have you know that I used to throw great parties before you think better of it. You stopped throwing parties years ago because Patrick never hid how much he disliked parties and your friends in general.

The thought of your ex-husband douses you in cold water causing a shiver to run down your spine. Instead of answering, you run your fingers through Laysa’s soft fur to calm yourself down. Glancing at James across the room, it appears as though he lost in thought as well. The clock on the wall strikes one in the afternoon.

It has officially been twenty-four hours since you both confronted your spouses. It was a thought that was both liberating and terrifying.

“We’re going to be okay. Right?” The words escape you before you can bottle them back up and, when Bucky freezes, you wish you could take them back.

“Yeah. We’re going to be better than okay Doll. Maybe not today but, eventually.” His deep voice wavers slightly causing you to worry your lip between your teeth. You had the feeling he wasn’t normally this open with his friends and an odd mix of feelings swirl in your chest; relief, a little bit of pride, and another that you couldn’t quite put your finger on.

Regardless it’s that feeling you can’t put a finger on that has you standing up. “Natasha said you have a mission?”

“Yeah. S’gonna be a rough one if all of us have been called in.” This time there is no waver of worry in his voice. He’s firm and matter of fact in a way the reminds you of your brother and Matt. That didn’t make you fear for his safety any less.

You decide to follow the same routine as you do with your friends who like to put themselves in dangerous situations on a regular basis.

“Do you have time for a home cooked meal before you go?”

Once again the man pauses but, this time he turns to you slowly as a smile grows on his handsome face.

“Yeah sweetheart. I’d like that.

PART 2:

What If?

Readers have long speculated, if Rogue's powers didn't stand in the way, what would she really decide about having children? One only need look at alternative universes and timelines for potential answers.

Probably my favorite example is found in Chris Claremont’s X-Men: The End (2006) which seemed to extrapolate from where X-Treme X-Men left off. In this theoretical future, Gambit and Rogue are married, Rogue has control of her powers, and they have two children, Olivier and Rebecca. We get a brief glimpse of Rogue as a mother and the lengths she's willing to go to save her children when they are taken captive by Sinister.

For another potential outcome of this same pairing based off the more recent timeline, we can thank Kelly Thompson for Captain Marvel: The End (2020) where Carol Danvers returns to a decimated Earth and meets the children of many of Earth’s heroes, including Irene LeBeau, daughter of her old nemesis Rogue and partner Gambit. Irene has taken on the mantle of Rogue, has her mother's white streak and Gambit’s eyes. Frankly, I don't want to live in a world where this character might never exist!

Even when paired with other partners, we see that Rogue has a desire for her own family.

During the Age of Apocalypse, when Rogue ends up with a heroic version of Magneto who can touch her, despite their difficult existence and bleak future Rogue chooses to have a child with him whom they name Charles. Even though Rogue cannot touch his skin and has limited time with him, she dotes on him and loves him above all else.

There is even an alternate reality where the heroes never left Battleworld after Secret Wars in What If? #14 (1998) and Rogue, seemingly possessed by the Carol Danvers persona, marries Steve Rogers. She eventually gives birth to daughter Sarah Rogers, aka Crusader.

Going Forward

So where does this leave us in the 616?

There's no question that Rogue's powers, even under control, could cause difficulties with conception and/or pregnancy. This would be an interesting facet to explore and one we've never seen touched upon in comics. But if the character suddenly now has no interest in having a child, it's a story we likely won't get to see unfold. This new status quo is particularly disappointing considering the drastic change from her earlier appearances and how long awaited her marriage to Gambit had been, a character who would make a great parent as well.

But with the popularity of parenthood falling off drastically in the modern era and many individuals choosing child-free lifestyles, it may well be that there is little demand for a story like this to be explored, especially with an A-lister X-Woman such as Rogue.

Indeed, typically superhero mothers get sidelined, are noncombatants or are C list characters to begin with, so they won't be missed if they were to dissapear from panel for a while. In X-books think Madelyn Pryor, Meggan, Layla Miller, Smasher, and Rayne Sinclair. Jubilee might be the only mutant mother to get significant panel time with her child in recent years, but again fits the C list and noncombatant mold overall. In many cases, elaborate means like time travel, AUs, adoptions, clones, time hops, and supernatural events are used to avoid showing pregnancy or to age up inconvenient babies because writers don't think anyone wants these stories. Looking at you Jean Grey and Cable.

As I said in my previous Gambit discussion, I remain hopeful that someday we'll get 616 stories about some mischievous LeBeau children and see Rogue as a mother for more than just an isolated panel in an AU. The winds can always change direction in comics when a new writer comes along, as they always do. Even if it might take 30 years.

In the meantime, if you want to see some unblinking looks at comic book mothers who are getting it done, I'd look outside the Merry Mutants and check out: Jessica Drew in Spiderwoman by Dennis Hopeless, Big Barda in Tom King's Mr. Miracle, Jessica Jones in Alias by Brian Michael Bendis or written recently by Kelly Thompson and Alana from Saga by Brian K. Vaughn. They all show how motherhood can work for a comic character to enrich her story without removing her from the action or balking away from the realities of parenting.

Thanks for reading!

new partner

pairing: policeofficer!bucky barnes x reader

words: 1.6k

warnings: death, gun firing

summary: It’s been years since Bucky has lost Steve, his partner in battle since they were children. You are his first partner in years, and today is your first day together.

a/n: hey guys! this is my oneshot submission for Soph and Aub’s Post-Endgame Depression Writing Challenge! I hope you like it, it’s kinda short for me but i still love it! and go follow soph and aub @laureharrier / @emmaewatson & @tommyparkerr

. . . . .

“Steve!”

BANG BANG.

No other sounds could be heard but the clanks of bullet falling to the ground and his partner’s body hitting the ground. Ringing filled his ears as he watched his best friend lie still, blood seeping from his chest, free of a bulletproof vest.

He watched, sitting by his side and leaning over his face, the blood drain while Steve’s face went pale.

“Buck.”

“Steve? Steve, no, NO! STEVE!”

“Buck,” he said again. He knew there wasn’t much time left with the fight still occurring all around them. But neither of them could focus on anything but each other.

“Steve,” he croaked, his voice ridden with guilt and streams of tears falling down his cheeks. A raspy sob escaped his throat as Steve lifted a hand onto his shoulder.

Bucky looked up, lifting his head off of Steve’s chest to see his eyes, bloodshot but full of contentment. They both knew what would become of this, but Steve could accept it. It would be long before Bucky ever could.

You were in the middle of Brooklyn, battling HYDRA agents who had caught you, Steve, Sam and others in your squad on a mission to gather intelligence. There were people around and running through the streets, trying to avoid bullets and grenades, with cars in the surrounding areas on fire. People were watching every move you made, knowing the names of you, Steve and Sam for saving the public multiple times.

For years, Steve and Bucky had done everything together. Bucky had been there when Steve lost his parents; Steve was there for Bucky when he lost his arm and came back from the war. Through every up and down, they were there for one another. But this time, Bucky was alone.

“It’s alright Buck.”

Bucky watched as the life left Steve’s eyes and the hand on his shoulder slid down to the ground. His friend was gone.

“Barnes. You and Rogers have done us wrong for long enough. You come undercover to HYDRA and betray us? What more did you expect than for us to kill your beloved Captain.”

Bucky stood up, turned to Vaughn’s face and lodged his cold metal fingers around the throat of HYDRA leader Andre Vaughn.

“Say his name again and I squeeze tighter.” The look of rage in his eyes could have turned any man to stone. He could kill him here and now, finishing this. But a voice spoke up behind him.

“Barnes,” said Sam. He looked at Wilson, standing next to Steve’s stiff body with that same rage. “Not here. Not now.” Barnes and Wilson were not always close but your mutual care and friendship with Steve made you acquaintances.

They looked at each other for a minute while Vaughn struggled to breathe in Bucky’s unforgiving grasp before he released, letting Vaughn fall to the ground.

“Next time,” Bucky said looking at Sam and then to Vaughn, “I won’t be so gentle. You will pay for this. But not today.”

“We’ll see.”

. . . . .

“Sorry, oh um sorry. Sorry!”

You stumbled into the building holding your bag and coffee, walking into your first day on the job in Department 107. Recently you had finished your training and now were accepted as the newest agent in the department, the most famous one in Brooklyn. It had been a dream for years, and it was finally happening.

Bumping into people on the way in, you find yourself in Captain Roscoe’s office, ready to start your first day. You knew you’d be getting a partner to train you for now, and it was someone who’s been with the department for a while. It could’ve been anyone, but you were determined to make a good first impression, attempting to not make a complete fool out of yourself.

“Ah, Miss Y/L/N. Ready to begin training?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Good. Your partner doesn’t know yet that you’ll be working with him, he can be kind of a pain in the ass.”

Wonderful.

“He’s one of the best in the business, hopefully, you can get him to ease up a bit on his workload. Always at work, right Barnes?”

“Mmm.”

“Barnes,” Rosoce said trying to get the man’s attention but he seemed to be dozing off. You stood behind Roscoe, wearing small black heels, black slacks and a long-sleeve white shirt tucked in. Your hair was down, recently cutting it so it was too short to put up and one strand was always in your face, never staying behind your ear. Hands clasped behind your back, you watch as Roscoe shoved the man in his chair, causing him to jump and spill his coffee on the counter.

“Good God Roscoe, what do you need?” the man said.

Roscoe glared at him and glanced over at you. Awkwardly smiling, you reached a hand out to the man and introduced yourself. “L/N.”

“Bucky,” he said, grabbing your hand and shaking it before getting paper towels from a drawer in his desk to clean the coffee up.

“You’re making a fantastic first impression here Barnes.”

“First impression?”

“She’s your new partner.”

You had hoped for a better reaction than what you got, seeming to only make Bucky more upset by just being there.

“Do we have to do this today, Roscoe? You know what today is for me. This isn’t a good time.”

“It’s a perfect time. You can distract yourself from it by training our rookie here and showing her around, okay?”

“Fine.”

“Nice to meet you too,” you said under your breath, with a very noticeable sarcasm dripping off your words.

“I’ll leave you to it, have a good day Miss L/N,” Roscoe said, and with that, he was gone. “So…”

“Yes?” he said, looking at you sideways, with an almost humorous look in his eyes.

“What are we going to do first?”

“Wow, you’re chipper for your first day.”

“Shouldn’t I be?”

He chuckled at you, quickly realizing that the two of you were not the perfect match. He spun his chair slowly while drinking the little coffee in the mug that was left. “Doll, this isn’t a walk in the park.”

“Well, it can’t be rocket science either,” you replied, putting your hands on your hips, cocking one to the side.

“Well alright then,” He stood up out of his chair and stepped towards you, standing close enough so you could feel the breath on his face. “Let’s see what you can do, doll.”

“Call me doll again, and this won’t be a very fun day for either of us.”

“Fiesty, aren’t you? But, noted.”

. . . . .

The noise of guns had never been something you could get used to, but it became apparent that that would have to change. Bucky brought you into a room with different stalls with guns on a table, eye goggles and headphones. In the distance, there was a target with different rings on it and a bullseye.

“You ever shot a gun?”

“In unfortunate circumstances, yes. But I’ve never been properly taught how to shoot.”

“Well, miss, today’s your lucky day,” Bucky said, standing next to you. You looked over and up slightly to see his face and you just realized how tired he really was. The bags under his eyes were almost purple, and the whites of his eyes bloodshot.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Excuse me?”

“You were staring at my face.”

“No, I wasn’t.”

He shook his head and crossed his arms. “Whatever, go put the goggles and headphones on.”

“Fine.” you rolled your eyes while walking to the table and positioned the goggles over your eyes, and the headphones on your ears. Bucky walked up beside you and picked up the Glock 22. Bucky loaded the magazine and cocked the gun, handing it to you. It was cold in your hands, and you immediately felt like you had a weight of responsibility on your shoulders.

Bucky took your shoulders and positioned them to face forward, and your arms up, hands on either side of the gun.

“Aim, shoot.”

You took a deep breath, focusing on the target and putting your right pointer finger over the trigger. You hesitated, feeling anxious that he was watching your every move but you knew you could do this.

I can do this.

BANG. BANG.

You felt ripples go through your arms as the gun fired two bullets into the target. Goosebumps ricocheted all over your body, a feeling that you would have again and again. You set down the gun with your hands shaking, not even looking at the target. It made you feel emotions you hadn't felt before, and you didn’t know what to make of them.

“No way.”

You looked at Bucky who stared in shock at the target and were confused by his expression until you turned back to the target. You hit the bullseye. Twice.

“You’re sure you’ve never fired a gun?”

“I have, just never been trained.”

“Doesn’t seem like you need much training. I used to be in this room all the time practicing with Steve…” Bucky stopped talking after saying that name, his face becoming cold and his body language showing that ‘Steve’ was a touchy subject.

“Who’s Steve?”

“No one, it’s nothing.”

You changed the topic to avoid making him upset. “So, what your saying is, that I’m already better than you at shooting a gun?”

You smirked at him as he looked at you surprised b your cocky attitude. Even you were shocked, but couldn’t control the words flowing from your lips.

“I didn’t say that.”

“You kinda did, Mr. Barnes.”

“Don’t call me Mr. Barnes, Bucky is fine.”

“Is Bucky your real name?”

“Are you usually this annoying or do you try?”

“All na-tu-ral.”

He chuckled and you could once again smell his breath, which smelled like coffee and days old vodka. Neither of you noticed that you had been moving closer together and were almost nose to nose as you had been bantering back and forth. You cleared your throat and removed your goggles, setting them on the table next to the headphones.

“So, what’s next?”

“You’re a handful.”

“I’m sure you can handle it, Bucky.”

“We’ll see.”
