You Are Going To Have So Much Success In 2018 (pass it on)

Bucky smiled softly. “I’m okay. Just…got a bit over excited.”

Tony immediately went for his tools, gesturing for him up sit so he could him him up to the port and run diagnostics. “Over excited? As in ‘that guy was being an ass so I punched him out’ excited?”

Bucky shrugged one metal shoulder. “Might have been.”

Tony sighed. “Sit. Of course. Does it feel weird? You think it’s superficial? Does it move weird?”

Bucky sat on the indicated rolling stool. “It grinds when it moves.”

He gestured to prop his arm up, organizing his tools. “Where exactly? Also I need to… I know you hate when I hook you up to the computer, but I need to know if any internal damage was done.”

“Right at the shoulder, wrist, and elbow. And okay. Fine. Run your stupid diagnostic but don’t upload my brain or do anything weird with the programming.” 

Fuck. “Joints. I hope there’s no structural damage or the Base isn’t weakened. Okay uh…” He ran a hand through his hair. “Port first.” He fetched the cable and knew he hated it, but .. “Hair up. I promise no weird stuff.”

Bucky scoffed slightly and pulled his hair up, joints grinding and sparks flying. He piled the brown mess into a pony tail. “No downloading a program to make me a sex bot.”

Tony grinned, squeezing his shoulder in warning before slipping in the port. “I wouldn’t dream of it. Okay, Jarvis bring up a screen, I want to see what we’re dealing with.”

Oh the joys of being an andrioid. Charging instantly once plugged into a computer. Only down side was the potential for viruses. “Can we run a malware scan too?”

Good call. “You got it. You know you’re more encrypted than the nuke codes. Right?”

“I’d expect little else but it’s better to be sure.”

Tony hummed, tapping away at his keyboard. “Okay. Running diagnostics, malware scan, antivirus, everything. I’m gonna open up your arm, okay?”

He hated opening up the arm. “Okay.”

He knew. Tony knew. He pulled out his tools, propped Bucky’s arm up and offered him a weak smile. “Breathe, and tell me about this fight you got into.”

Bucky kept his eyes glued to Tony’s hands. They were lovely hands. “It was a stupid thing. I was at a bar and someone said some shit about Iron Man. So I decked him.”

Tony’s eyebrows shot up at that.

“Defending my honour. Surprising on both counts. Most people love Ironman, they tend to hate Tony Stark. You, Buckaroo. Don’t heal. So please let those people say what they want to. They’ll get it back when Ironman saves their building from collapsing… Or something.”

He worked quickly as they spoke, opening his arm up, and trying to locate the problem.

Bucky scoffed and ran his free hand through his hair. He could do that but…

“They say you’re a spoiled rich kid who plays at being hero. They don’t think you care. It’s bullshit.”

Tony glanced up at him, amused smile curling along his lips. “Is it now? Are you sure about that?”

“You’re helping me ain’t ya?”

Bucky grinned. “Should I bite off the arm of one?”

“Yes!” Madison cheered, and Aiden bounced in his seat. “Make a monster noise, a big one!!”

Bucky smiled and took up a terrified looking cookie. “Okay. Grrrrrrawwwwwwrrrr.”he growled and bit off the arm.

Madison squealed in delight. “Now his legs!”

Aiden clapped excitedly, sitting up in his seat. “Legs, legs!”

Bucky grinned and bit down on the right leg. “Raaaaaaaawrrrrrr.”

Aiden grinned. “You’re the best monster ever! Aarg!” He bit into his own gingerbread man’s leg, munching happily.

Madison laughed, offering up her own. “Now mine, now mine!”

Bucky laughed softly. “Maddy why don’t you be the monster?”

She beamed happily. “Because you’re… You’re the bestest..est monster ever! When daddy tries, he gets crumbs in his beard and looks silly.”

Bucky hummed softly. “Daddy is too sweet to be the monster, huh?”

Madison shrugged. “He’s too silly. You rawr the best, and you’re funner.”

“More fun.” Aiden corrected, and Madison stuck her tongue out at him.

“Now now. Daddy can be loads of fun.”

Madison scrunched her nose at that, and bit down on her cookie’s arm.

Aiden hummed in thought. “Sometimes. When we play Avengers. But he always gets upset when we don’t want to be Ironman…”

Now that made Bucky laugh. “That’s because he loves Ironman the most.”

Bucky grinned. “Should I bite off the arm of one?”

“Yes!” Madison cheered, and Aiden bounced in his seat. “Make a monster noise, a big one!!”

Bucky smiled and took up a terrified looking cookie. “Okay. Grrrrrrawwwwwwrrrr.”he growled and bit off the arm.

She kept her hands held out to him, encouraging him. “Doesn’t it feel good to breath fresh, clean air? It’s so wonderful out here, I’ve missed it.”

He took another step, hands reaching for hers. “It feels strange. Being out here.”

winterxsoldierxbarnes:

Alexandria was stood further out, and she did a little twirl in happiness, giggling as her boot skidded on the snowy roof. Then she stopped, and held her hands out to him. “You’re perfectly safe up here, James, we’re alone, nobody will see you.”

He smiled faintly and took a hesitant step out onto the roof. “I’m not used to this...”

winterxsoldierxbarnes:

Alexandria let out a happy sigh of relief as they stepped outside. The air was almost bitingly cold, and there was a thin layer of snow on the roof, but it was a welcome cold. “Oh… I’d forgotten how beautiful it was out here…”

James remained close to the door, almost frightened by the outside world. “It is...very charming.”

@winterxsoldierxbarnes

Nothing startles a spy like being spied on. So when Nat started getting anonymous notes at work and home that talked about her personal and professional life, she hoped it was just one of the team messing with her.

With a sigh, she crumpled up the newest note and threw it at the trash bin. She missed and it landed on the floor by the door.

“Sure, why not?” she smiled.

“The bridge.”

“What about it?”

“I shot you...”

Her smile returned, and Alexandria took his hand again. “You’ll love it out there,” she declared, starting up the stairs once more.

James followed her, holding onto her hand like a lifeline.

Bucky smiled softly. “I’m okay. Just…got a bit over excited.”
