The Spark

It has been three days since Y/N was captured, and Bucky was pissed. They had just broken into an abandoned warehouse where the tracking devices had led them, and all they had found were the daggers, lying on a medical gurney in the middle of the warehouse, covered in Y/N’s blood. And we know it was hers, Bruce checked.

“What the fuck!” I yell, grabbing one of my daggers and throwing it at the wall, hard enough that the dagger sunk into the concrete to the hilt, sending cracks up the wall. Everyone is silent as they stand back, watching me with worried eyes as I walked over to her blood spattered daggers, falling to my knees in front of them, my cold eyes staring at them.

“Where is she Steve?” I whisper hoarsely as I sense Steve walking up behind me, his warm hand landing on my shoulder, squeezing gently. Steve stays quiet and a lone tear falls down my cheek when I hear Bruce awkwardly cough.

“Um, Bucky?”

I slowly turn my head around to look at Bruce, drawing in a deep breath as I locked gazes with him. I nod at him as I wait for him to continue.

“Well, I’ve been keeping an eye out for unusual heat signatures, and, well, I found a very unusual one” Bruce says nervously as he holds up a tablet and on the screen in a basic outline of all the nearby buildings, and in what looks like a giant warehouse is what looks like a tornado of bright red.

My eyebrows raise, and Tony sighs.

“Bucky, that’s thermal imaging.” Tony catches my gaze. “The tornado, it’s made out of fire”

I look at him blankly, until it hits me.

“Fire. Y/N’s powers. She’s using her fire powers to create a gigantic tornado” I look back at Bruce.

“Well? Where is she!”

“Right on the other side of town” Bruce says calmly, and I shoot a look at Steve before I sprint out towards the doors.

“Let’s go!” I shout from over my shoulder, and I smile grimly when I hear jogging footsteps from behind me.

I am going to save Y/N.

………………………

“Bucky, Stop!”

Steve’s hand grabs my shoulder and pulls me back as I am just about to enter the warehouse’s parking lot, slamming me into a nearby wall.

“Its been three days Steve! A lot can happen in three fucking days!” I snarl at him, slapping away his hands from my shoulders. Steve finally backs off a step, and I’m about to push past him when Tony steps in front of me, a hand pushing me back.

“Back up Frosty, there is most likely an entire army in there” Tony tries to warn me, but I grin what must look like a dead man’s grin.

“I will kill everyone that gets in-between me and Y/N”

I look around Tony and I stare at the door to the warehouse until a large, armour covered Asgardian chest steps into my line of sight.

“Soldier man, I will fight with you to get Lady Y/N back” Thor booms, his face serious as he stares down at me.

“As will I” Vision announces, and Wand steps up next him.

“I can’t lose my other gal pal. I’m in” Wanda glances at Natasha, and Nat looks me in the eyes.

“Я буду сражаться (I’ll fight)”

Eventually everyone says they’re in, and Tony and Steve are the only ones left. Steve sighs, and slowly nods.

“Till the end of the line, Bucky”

“Oh alright, let’s get my daughter back” Tony says, and I nod, my eyes gleaming as I push past them, heading towards the warehouse doors.

Two minutes later I had taken out at least 40 HYDRA agents, bodies strewn around on the floor when I can hear screaming. Y/N’s screaming. I snarl and someone behind must have tripped the alarm as loud sirens started to wail, red lights flashing. But the most disturbing thing was that even though the siren was wailing loudly, I could still hear my Doll screaming.

I storm forward with Steve and Tony right behind me, and we find ourselves in a hallway, and Y/N’s scream had cut off, but not before I had found out where she was. Behind the door at the end of the hallway. I sprint forward and I kick the door open, and I freeze at the sight before me.

Y/N was strapped to a medical gurney, tears in her clothes and healed over scars on her skin. Her body was still and a dagger sticking out of her ribs, blood pooling on the gurney and dripping onto the ground. Her head had fallen to the side, her mouth still open in a scream and her eyes were dull.

“Doll?” I whispered, standing in the doorway as Steve and Tony push forward, checking for HYDRA soldiers and checking Y/N’s pulse. Tony choked as he checked her wrist for a pulse, and Steve looked back at me, his eyes brimming with tears.

“Buck” Steve starts to say but I hold up my hand to keep him from saying anything. I stand next to her body, staring down at her with a blank face, and I only realise that I’m crying when tears fall onto her. I harshly brush them away as I grab the dagger and gently pull the dagger out of her body, setting it to the side as I caress her face, choking on tears as I close her eyes, and my legs buckle, making me fall onto my knees. I slip my hand into her limp one, finally letting my emotions break through as I sob, my head leaning against her arm as I cry out.

“Oh God Y/N, I’m sorry, so fucking sorry” I choke out, my metal hand bending the bar of the gurney’s railing when I hear a gasp, but I’m so buried under my grief that I ignore it.

And that’s when I feel it, gentle fingers running through my hair, and Y/N’s hand that I’m holding grabs my hand back.

“Bucky?”

My head jerks up in disbelief as my eyes meet Y/N’s beautiful gaze, my mouth falling open as I reach out with my metal hand, brushing a stray piece of her hair behind her ear, more tears falling down my cheek.

“Y/N?”

Y/N’s face softens as she hears my wrecked voice, and she pulls me into her arms, and I bury my face into her neck, sobbing.

………………………………

“Buck” I start to say, but I cut myself off when Bucky’s hand comes up, his face carefully set in a blank expression, but is quickly betrayed when tears start to fall down his face. I take a step back, and I pull Tony back when he goes to step towards Y/N.

I shake my head at him, and I watch as Bucky gently eases the dagger out of Y/N’s body and places it to the side. I nearly step towards him when he falls to his knees, and this time it’s Tony who pulled me back.

“He needs to grieve Steve. We all do” Tony chokes, but he pauses at my shocked expression.

“Steve?”

I shake my head as I take step forward, my eyes flicking down to Bucky’s shaking body then back up to Y/N’s limp body. I swear I had just seen Y/N’s face twitch.

“Oh God Y/N, I’m sorry, so fucking sorry” I hear Bucky cry out, and I hold back a shout when Y/N lets out a gasp, her chest heaving in deep breaths as he eyes fly open, rolling around wildly until the settle on my face. My eyes flick down to Bucky’s sobbing body and I realise that Bucky hadn’t heard her. Y/N follows my gaze and tears brim in her eyes as she looks down at Bucky’s bent head.

She gently lifts up her free hand and runs it through Bucky’s hair, Bucky’s body freezing at her touch

“Bucky?” Y/N’s voice is small and husky, and Bucky’s head whips up, his metal hand coming up to brush her hair behind her ear.

“Y/N?”

My jaw tightens at the sound of Bucky’s wrecked voice, and Y/N had caught it too as she pulled him up and into her arms, Bucky’s sobs muffled by her neck.

…………………….

“No, please, don’t do this” I plead, my body still shaking uncontrollably from the blue liquid the scientists had injected me with. Pierce looked down at me as he positions the dagger over my body, the tip of it piercing my skin.

“Sorry sweetheart, but this is the final test. It’s just a shame that the Avengers are taking you, but don’t worry, we’ll come get you. That’s a promise”

I frantically shake my head as I try to summon my powers but Pierce shoves the dagger into me before I get the chance. I gasp, my torso muscles tensing around the blade as I feel blood leak out of me.

“Fuck you” I hiss, Pierce’s laugh the last thing I hear before darkness overtakes me.

“Oh God Y/N, I’m sorry, so fucking sorry”

I gasp as the blackness recedes from my mind, my eyes flying open as I realise that the dagger is no longer embedded in my flesh, in fact, it seems like there is no wound there at all. My eyes flick around frantically until I look to the side and I see Steve, his eyes wide, and then I see Tony behind him, his hand frozen halfway through dragging down his face.

My eyes focusing back on Steve’s face, I see his gaze flick down, and when I follow his gaze I choke, my eyes tearing up as I see Bucky’s head bent over my body, his body shaking with quiet sobs, his metal hand bending the gurney railing.

Slowly, I lift my free hand and tangle it in Bucky’s hair, massaging his head gently as I grab Bucky’s hand which was in mine.

“Bucky?” I whisper, my voice husky, and I gulp when Bucky’s head whips up, his tear stained face pale as his blue eyes search my face.

“Y/N?”

My heart breaks at Bucky’s voice and I pull him into my arms, my hands tightening around his body as he buries his face in my neck, his sobs muffled by my skin.

“Oh sweetheart, it’s okay, you found me, it’s okay” I whisper and he shakes his head.

“I was so worried Doll, about what they did to you” Bucky pulls back and looks at me, then rushing forward, his lips crashing against mine in a desperate kiss. His hands tangle in my hair and I moan, my own tears falling down my face as I relish in his touch.

“That’s something for another time sweetheart” I smile, then I freeze, my body tensing as my heart speeds up, and Bucky notices.

“Doll? What’s wrong?”
“I- I- shit I don’t know. My body, it’s burning!” I hiss, my nerve endings burning, and I gasp when I look down and I can see my veins glowing blue through my skin, the colour pulsing as it travelled up from my hands and up my arms.

“Oh God, Buck, you need to get out of here!” I shout as I try to move back from Bucky, my mind working violently as I feel power building up in my body. But my eyes widen when Bucky refuses to move.

“Y/N, tell me what’s wrong!”

“No time! Please go! Hide! Tony!” I plead to Tony, and he must have seen the panic in my eyes as he grabs Steve and they both pull Bucky away, who is shouting, his eyes focused on me as my body shudders, my eyes glowing as I slide back to lie fully on the gurney.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear the door slam shut, and I scream as the power continues to build up inside of me, then explodes out of me through my hands in the shape of flames, burning everything in the room to a crisp, making glasses explode and plastics melt, material melting. Even the door gets blown out and I hear swearing, then rushed footsteps coming towards me.

I open my eyes to see Bucky’s worried face, and then he picks me up in his arms, and I start to sob, my arms wrapping around his neck as I whisper into his ear.

“Nuclear. They have turned me nuclear”
