THIEF | BUCKY BARNES

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN

REUNION
❝He's right-handed.❞

Odessa smiled once she saw her siblings with Sam's nephews. Before she fell unconscious she has made sure to ask Sam to keep them safe in case anything like this ever happened again. He promised with his life and it seemed like he was sticking by that promise.

"How do we get it off the truck?" Sam questioned and almost instantly, Bucky lifted the crate off of the truck with little to no effort.

He let out a small grunt as he placed it back down on the ground. All the men surrounding Sam looked at his in shock. But Odessa couldn't help but grin, when Bucky turned to face her again she grabbed the collar of his shirt and whispered,

"You're so hot when you do that." She looked up at him through his eye lashes, causing Bucky to have to bite back a smirk.

"Just dropping this off." Bucky announced as he motioned for Odessa to place the case on the truck. "And picking them up." He pointed towards the Kingsley siblings. "You can sign for it and we'll go. I called in a favor from the Wakandans."

Not even seconds later, a pipe burst and with the shout from Sarah, Sam rushed to fix it.

"Hi." Bucky gave Odessa's hand a light squeeze as he smiled towards Sarah.

"Hi." Sarah nodded back in response as Bucky went to go and help Sam fix the broken pipe.

Odessa smiled down at the pair, Bucky had told her that he worked on the docks when he was younger back in the 30's before the war. He had told her how it was early starts but he actually enjoyed it.

"Have my siblings behaved?" Odessa asked as she turned to face Sarah.

"They've been little angels. Definitely kept my boys in check." Sarah paused before looking between the brunette and her brother. "Sam told me that you raised them, you did a good job."

The girl couldn't help but allow a warm smile to form on her face. The only thing she wanted to hear when it came to her siblings was that they weren't any hassle, she raised them to keep a low profile and not get in anyone's way.

"Thank you." Odessa whispered back.

"Why didn't you use the metal arm?" Sam questioned as she turned to face Bucky.

Bucky raised his vibranium arm and looked at it almost skeptically. Odessa stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, resting her head on top of his.

"Well... I don't always think of it immediately." He admitted, smiling due to the close contact from the girl.

"He's right-handed." Odessa winked towards Sam, causing his face to scrunch up in disgust.

"So, this is the boat, huh?" Bucky asked after he cleared his throat. A light blush rose to his cheeks, but he tried to ignore it.

"This is it." Sam nodded.

Odessa smiled towards Sam, she knew how much his family meant to him, which included the boat. Despite how rusty it was and the fact that it was falling apart, it seemed like he was doing everything he can to fix it and keep it within his family.

"It's nice." Bucky paused as Odessa whispered in his ear,

"Let's stay for a while." She loved how happy her siblings looked with Sam's nephews. Plus, she couldn't be away from Sam for too long, he was like the older brother she never had.

"You want any help?" Bucky questioned, making Odessa press her lips against his cheeks excitedly.

"Yeah." Sam nodded, he wouldn't mind if the couple stayed a little long.

Over the past few weeks he had grown much closer to the couple. In fact it felt weird being away from them for more than a day. Just in the singular day he missed the way Odessa taunted and teased him and the way they both looked so happy with one another.

"I'm Bucky, this is Odessa." Bucky spoke up and he lifted the girl off the level platform and hoisted her up his back. 

"Ah. Sarah." Sarah smiled back. She understood what Sam meant when he was telling her how perfectly the two fit together. She'd never seen a couple that looked like they were more meant for one another other than Bucky and Odessa.

Odessa jumped down from Bucky's back and off of the boat. She grabbed Bucky's hand and pulled him over to where her siblings were sat. She instantly wrapped her arms around Charleston's shoulders and squeezed him tightly.

"Did you miss me?" Odessa questioned, causing her siblings to jump up and wrap their arms around her.

Bucky stood back for a moment, enjoying how genuinely happy his girlfriend looked. The smile on her face was spread so widely that it cause dimples. The corner of her eyes creased and he noticed the way her eyes closed as she held them.

"Where's Bucky?" Jeddah questioned as he pulled away from his siblings to look around for the man.

"Right here, Buddy." Bucky spoke up and Jeddah instantly jumped into Bucky. The man didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around the boy and lift him off the ground slightly.

Jeddah reminded Bucky of a young Steve, a little scrawny but wouldn't back down from anything. They shared the same blue eyes and mousy blonde hair.

"We're going to stay here for a few days, if that's okay with you guys?" Odessa questioned as she looked between her siblings and Bucky.

"What have mom and dad said about it?" Savannah questioned as she tilted her head to look up at her older sister.

Odessa clenched her jaw slightly, still not use to the idea of Mr and Mrs Forest being called 'mom' and 'dad'. Bucky noticed the way the girls face feel, he couldn't imagine how much it hurt her.

"I called Mr and Mrs Forest, told them that you were staying with me for a little longer. They didn't exactly like the idea of it, but they couldn't say much since I'm meant to see you every weekend and technically it's a weekend." Odessa chuckled.

She called Mrs Forest and shouted at her down the phone for leaving her siblings unattended, she told her that she should have called and Odessa would have made some arrangements so that they weren't home alone. She also told them that she was having a family reunion for a few weeks and that her siblings should be there. They were slightly reluctant, but they agreed.
