don't do this...

Author Summary: "Bucky.  Bucky, Bucky, Bucky!" Darcy says, holding her palms up toward him in peace.  He's standing in the doorway of his kitchen, his shoulders squared, the metal fingers of his left arm opening and closing into a fist, like he's testing their strength, preparing for a fight.  "You gotta wake up, buddy.  Bucky, please wake up."

laughing with a mouth full of blood

Author Summary: It's only when Bucky brushes past her, the skin of his arm cool as it connects with the rosy warmth of hers, that she understands what she has done. She can see it as he moves through her apartment, gliding through the space with a carelessness that feels nothing like him. It's in the back of her mind, like she's pulling out one of her own memories instead of one of his. Blood. Death. The pain of turning, so rich and vibrant that she aches with it secondhand.When she turns to him, there's acknowledgment on his face, like the vision she just had was in surround sound, that it was something he was privy to as well.You really are a shitty psychic, Darcy, he says, and the smile from earlier is gone. Only teeth remain, sharp and threatening. You didn't see this coming?

the fallout

Author Summary: It's mostly quiet during the drive. The first few minutes are eaten by stilted small talk that ignores the giant elephant in the room before they both let the conversation drop. Twenty minutes in, Darcy turns on the radio because she can't take the silence anymore, but apparently the only thing broadcasting in this small patch of the outback is either country music or Christian rock interspersed with the most obnoxious sounding man reciting quotes from the the bible, neither of which Darcy is interested in or capable of handling, so she switches the radio off after five minutes and learns to enjoy the silence.

"You don't have to," Steve says about the time they hit a gravel road, which lets Darcy know they’re almost there. He lets the car roll slowly as if he’s expecting her to change her mind, to ask him to stop, to turn around. "Seriously. I can drive you back, you don't have to do this. Bucky said only if you're ready, if you want to. He doesn't expect that you'll come anyway, so don't..." he pauses for a moment, "don't do this unless you're ready. You're allowed to not be ready, okay?"
