A Little Butterfly- The Other Soldier (Bucky Barnes x reader) (they/them reader)

Rewind The Day

The elevator gets here. I step on. I notice James gets on too. He's trying to talk to me, but it feels like he's miles away.

We got to the prison. James and I went inside. I wouldn't look at Zemo. He wouldn't give us any information. He called me his little butterfly. I was scared. He said he didn't want anyone but him to hurt me. I stepped back, away from him, and started crying. Zemo made me come closer to him and said that if I was going to cry I would be worthless. He said I was worthless. James made him shut up. Zemo said he had never heard of the Flag Smashers. He said he had no information for us. I left.

The elevator stops on the main floor and I beeline for the door. I can feel James' presence as he follows me.

We got to the prison. James and I went inside. I wouldn't look at Zemo. He wouldn't give us any information. He called me his little butterfly. I was scared.

I get outside and collapse on a bench. I grab my head in my hands and start rocking back and forth.

I hear myself scream and I feel tears pouring down my face. The day just keeps playing in my head.

I feel James come over to me and pick me up. He sits down with me in his lap and just holds me.

I feel James running his finger through my hair. I'm still just trying to catch my breath.

We got to the prison.

James starts humming that lullaby.

James and I went inside.

James runs his fingers through my hair.

I wouldn't look at Zemo. He wouldn't give us any information.

James holds my hand.

He called me his little butterfly. I was scared.

"You're okay." I hear James whisper into my ear. "You're okay."

He said he didn't want anyone but him to hurt me.

James goes back to humming the lullaby.

I stepped back, away from him, and started crying. Zemo made me come closer to him and said that if I was going to cry I would be worthless.

James pulls me tighter against him.

He said I was worthless.

James quietly sings a few of the words to the lullaby in my ear.

James made him shut up. Zemo said he had never heard of the Flag Smashers. He said he had no information for us. I left.

"I'm so sorry y/n. We shouldn't have let you talk to him." I open my eyes and I take a deep breath. I can breathe again. I look up at James' face before burying my head into his chest.

It's over now. I'm safe. I'm okay. James is going to keep protecting me. I know he will. I'm safe. Zemo isn't here. He's not here. He's gone. I'm safe. I'm safe.
