"James Buchanan Barnes is wanted for the murder of Sam Wilson, otherwise known as Captain America."
Your head snaps up from your sandwich as you stare at the tv in shock. Bucky's face is on the screen, staring straight at you and tears gloss over your eyes.
The two of you didn't end things on bad terms. He felt that he was putting you in danger, especially after someone tried to kidnap you to get back at the former winter soldier. You were dealing with a lot at the time, and several people wanting to kill you wasn't helping. So you had a mutual break up.
That was two years ago.
You don't understand what's happening exactly. Bucky's wanted for the murder of Sam.
SaM's DeAd!?
"What the fuck..." you trail off as you set your plate down next to you and lean forward more to listen carefully.
"Sam Wilson's body was found with signs of choking and two bullet wounds in his abdomen."
"No," you say as you reach for your remote and turn the tv off. You place your elbows on your knees and put your face in your hands. "God this can't be happening."
"Y/n," you hear a deep voice come from behind you causing you to let out a gasp and jump up from your seat. Your whole body tense with fear as you turn to see who said your name. As soon as your eyes land on Bucky, you feel your muscles relax.
The events that you watched on the tv are fresh in your mind and a thought pops in your head. "Are you here to kill me?" Bucky immediately shakes his head 'no' as he looks at you with betrayal.
"No, why would you think that? You know I'd never hurt you," he says and you look at the floor nervously before looking back up at him.
"Did you kill..." you trail off as a lump grows in your throat and you look at your tv, even though it's off now.
He shakes his head as he limps towards you. "No, doll. I didn't kill Sam. No matter how many times I may have said I've wanted to, I could never actually," he says as he approaches you.
The light from your lamp lets you get a good look at him and you see how he has a few cuts on his face and his shirt is stained with blood. "Is that your blood?" You ask as you walk towards him.
"Don't worry, I'll be okay. Super soldier... remember?" He smiles softly at you even though you're looking at him with worry and concern.
"Is Sam actually—" you stop talking when you see Bucky shake his head, telling you no.
"He's alive," he says and you sigh with relief.
"Thank god," you mumble as you walk up to Bucky and hug him. His body is stiff as your arms wrap around him for half a second before he wraps his arms around you and holds you tightly against him. He presses his face against your neck and inhales deeply.
"What's going on though?" You ask and Bucky let's out a sigh as he pulls back a bit to look at you, but keeps his arms wrapped around you tightly.
"Apparently, John Walker has got it in his head that Sam and I wanted to kill him, so he tried attacking us. We couldn't risk hurting him because he's one of the good guys, so we set up this plan. We even went to Doctor Strange to get the clone spell, and it took a lot of convincing, but he agreed saying however things go is how they're supposed to go. I think he knew all along this would happen. Anyways, John found the Sam clone and killed it how the winter soldier would, then framed me for it," Bucky explains.
