The train
So cold.
The snow was heavy and left everyone in thick coats. But even in her thick coat Belle clung to Steve and Bucky for warmth.
"Remember when I made you ride the cyclone at Coney Island?" Bucky looked down and over the cliffed.
"Yeah and I threw up." Steve looked up at the wire that attached itself to the cliff and mountain
"This isn't payback is it?"
"Now why would I do that?" Steve smiled a mischievous smile and winked at Belle. She remembered that day she didn't ride that ride no matter how much Bucky begged. Steve, on the other hand, fell for Bucky's charm. She ended up giving him a 'told you so' look when Steve came out throwing up.
"Let's get going because they're moving like the devil." Bucky says as he spots the train through his binoculars. Steve was the first to go, then Bucky, and finally Belle.
She was supposed to go with Gabe but couldn't bring herself to part with Steve and Bucky. She would take her punishment later but right now something wasn't right, something was wrong and she was afraid to leave their side. She wasn't going to leave their side.
Following behind them Belle ignored their looks of protest and continued on gun held high, she wasn't leaving.
"STEVE!!!" Belle screamed when a door closed separating the carts, someone began to fire at them, Bucky and Belle took cover and began firing back but ran out of bullets. The two looked when Steve opened the cart doors tossing Bucky a gun he rammed into a box and Bucky shot the person.
"I had him on the ropes." Bucky said.
"No you didn't!" Belle corrected.
"Get down!" Steve screamed, pushing Belle and Bucky out of the way. A large blast blew everyone back and the wall of the train off. Bucky was the first one back up and picked up Steve's shield and was blasted off the train.
"BUCKY!" Belle and Steve screamed. Steve pushed Belle out of the way and reached for Bucky.
"Hang on. Grab my hand!" Steve stretched out as far as he could but he couldn't reach.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Belle screamed as she watched Bucky fall.
Steve crawled back into the train and for a moment he just stood there, Belle just sat there looking at the mountain and the snow past by. Steve picked up his mask and shield and walked right past Belle.
It felt colder than before.
Everyone gave Steve and Belle their condolences and distance for them to grieve. Neither of them cried in front of anyone. Steve was the Captain and could not be seen crying, he was the hope. Belle, it hadn't sunken yet, she was still processing it. She was alone in their tent by the time she completely processed it, she got up and began to look for Steve.
Alone in the woods curled against a tree he cried. Belle found and hugged him and they cried together. They cried for their heartbreak, they cried for their love, their loss, their pain, each other, they cried for their Bucky. Oh, they sobbed for their Bucky. It was so cold.
