Run Away

Ch 23

Bucky and Micky were by the railing of the ferry towards the statue of liberty. Bucky was staring at the port that was only about 20 yards away from them

Bucky looked around for a blonde head, but he couldn't find it

"What are you looking for, sarge?" A girl said smiling up at him. Bucky smiled down at her

"Just a friend, sis. I though Steve'll want to say goodbye" Bucky said

"Well, we are saying goodbye to you. You better be back before I graduate" the girl said

"Of course. I need to scare away your boyfriend" the girl chuckled and a man and a woman came and hugged him

"Be safe, James" the woman said

"I'll be, ma" he said

"Give those Nazis hell" his father said

"I will, pa"

The soldiers were called to board the ship and they had to leave

"We'll wait for you, Jimmy!" His siblings yelled while he waved goodbye at his family like the other soldiers

"What are you thinking about?" Micky asked snapping him out from his memory

"When I was shipped to London. My family came and said goodbye but Steve wasn't here. Later I found out he had gone to Camp Leight to become a super soldier" Bucky explained

"He was recruited while being in the Stark Expo you took him to. He probably wouldn't have been even giving the opportunity if it wasn't for you" Micky said remembering what she had read

"I didn't want him to be in the army. I wanted him safe" Bucky said looking down

"Well, he's kind of immortal now. Like you" Micky said "I think everything happens for a reason, maybe you both were meant to be here, in this time, I mean, if it weren't for him, you'd still be brainwashed and in assassin mode forever. And well, I guess he needs you to have somethin from his past. You need each other"

"I suppose" Bucky muttered

They then passed in front of the statue. Many people started taking pictures

"The statue represent Liberta, a roman goddess. It was built by Gustave Eiffel. It was a gift from France" Bucky said, he looked down at Micky only to see her looking up at him with a wide grin "What?"

"I never thought you to be a history nerd" she teased. Bucky grinned

"I was amazing at school when I was a kid, a great athlet too" Bucky said

"You could teach me a thing or too" Micky said and took out her phone "Now a picture" She stood closer to Bucky with their backs to the statue, her phone ready to take a selfie "Smile" Bucky smiled and Micky snapped a picture. Micky looked at it and inspected it "Perfect"

They continue smiling and looking around. That is until Bucky saw a falimiar blond with a man with dark skin color. Bucky instantly turned away

"What is it?" Micky asked catching his change of behaviour

"Steve is there. Steve and his friend. They've been looking for me since Washington" Bucky said. Micky looked past his shoulder and saw them, but they weren't alone. The Black Widow and Hawkeye were there too. Tony Stark and Thor were wearing caps and sunglasses, even Dr. Banner was there in disguise

"It's not just them. The avergers are here" she said seeing at them laughing at something Tony Stark had said "They are not looking for you. Looks like they are just hanging out"
