"Hey, it's Black Falcon. What's up?" A young boy called out. You stood in between Sam and Bucky, making your way down the quiet street when you stumbled upon two little boys.
"It's just Falcon, kid." Sam told him.
No, no. My daddy told me it's Black Falcon." The kid corrected as you smiled at the child.
"Is it because I'm Black and I'm the Falcon?"
"Well, technically, I mean, yes."
"So are you, like, Black kid?" The kid sighs as Sam laughs to the kids friend. "I got him, right?" He shook the kids hand.
"Whatever, man." The first kid waved him off. You laughed as Sam caught up to you and Bucky and you walked up the steps to an older house.
"We're here to see Isaiah." Bucky told the teenager who answered the door.
"Nobody named Isaiah live here."
"Look, we just want to talk to him." Bucky pushes.
"You must not hear what I just said. You ain't getting in this house. Y'all can leave now." The teen tells you.
"Tell him the guy from the bar in Goyang is here, he's gonna know what that means."
"All right, wait here." The kid sighs, closing the door as he walks back into the house.
"Nice kid. How do you know this guy?" Sam turned to the brunette.
"I used to, we had a skirmish during the Korean War."
"Today's your lucky day. He said he wanna see for himself." The kid opened the door to let you all in. Bucky stepped inside first then Sam ushered you to go before him politely.
"Isaiah?" Bucky greets.
"Look at you." The older man said coldly.
"This is, uh, Sam and y/n. Y/n, Sam, this is Isaiah, he was a hero. One of the ones that HYDRA feared the most, like Steve and y/n. We met in '51." Bucky starts the story as you note the date and how he was the winter soldier in that time.
"If by met, you mean I whupped your ass, then, yeah. We heard whispers he was on the peninsula, but everyone they sent after him, never came back. So the U.S. military dropped me behind the line to go deal with him. I took half that metal arm in that fight in Goyang, but I see he's managed to grow it back." The man speaks as you look at him, trying to study his story. "I just wanted to see if he got the arm back. Or if he'd come to kill me."
"I'm not a killer anymore." Bucky tells him, tears starting to form at the word killer.
"You think you can wake up one day and decide who you wanna be? It doesn't work like that. Well, maybe it does for folks like you." Isaiah spits out the words.
"Isaiah, the reason we're here is because there's more of you and me out there."
"You and me."
"And we need to know how." Bucky pushes the man to his limit.
"I'm not gonna talk about it anymore." He picks up a canister and launches it into the wall with anger. You and Sam both snap your heads to Bucky for answers at this mans strength.
"You know what they did to me for being a hero? They put my ass in jail for 30 years. People running tests, taking my blood, coming into my cell. Even your people weren't done with me."
"Isaiah" Sam starts to try and reason with him as you look to your feet.
"Get out of my house!" The older man shouted at you.
"Let's go, man, let's go." The kid ushered you out the way you came in, Sam following reluctantly, Bucky and you both with your heads hung low.
"Sam" Bucky starts as Sam rushes off ahead of him once you are out in the fresh air again.
"Why didn't you tell me about Isaiah? How could nobody bring him up? I asked you a question, Bucky." Sam angers as he isn't met with a reply.
"I know."
"Steve didn't know about him?" Sam asked.
"He didn't. I didn't tell him. I never mentioned it to y/n either"
"So you're telling me that there was a black Super Soldier decades ago and nobody knew about it?"
"Sam take a breath" you warn carefully. A police siren wails as your boys stand arguing in the street.
"Hey." The police step out of their car, now in front of you.
"What's up, man?" Sam asked impatiently.
"Is there a problem here?" The officer asked.
"No, we're just talking." Sam points in between you all.
"We're fine." Bucky adds.
"Ma'am?" They turn to you, noticing how you carefully held your wounded side
"Like he said, we're fine" you look to them.
"Can I see your ID?"
"I don't have ID. Why?" Sam snapped.
"Man, seriously?" Bucky watched the scene unfold with you.
"Okay, sir, just calm down."
"I am calm. What do you want? We're just standing here, talking."
"Just give him your ID so we can get the hell out of here." You try to reason.
"No, I'm not giving him shit. We're just talking." Sam grows more angry.
"Hey, hey. Look, is this guy bothering you?" The officer turned to you and Bucky after silencing sam.
"No, he's not bothering us." You tell them with confusion as to why he would be bothering you.
"Do you know who this is?" Bucky adds on the question.
"Hey, these guys are Avengers." The second officer whispers.
"Oh, God, I am so sorry, Mr. Wilson." He chuckled nervously. "I didn't recognize you without the goggles. I'm really, really sorry about this. The..." the officer begins to apologize as you shake your head with annoyance and disbelief.
"just wait here, okay? Just" he trails off as another car pulls up and he walks away with his radio.
"I didn't—I didn't tell anybody because he had already been through enough."
Bucky explained gently this time.
"Mr. Barnes, there's a warrant out for your arrest." The officers return.
"Look, the president pardoned him for all that." You remind them.
"Not for that. You missed your court-mandated therapy. It's like missing a check-in with your PO. I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes, you're under arrest." The officer tells him. You watch as he sighs before following them to the car and getting handcuffed. He looks to you and Sam with more annoyance as he is stuffed into the backseat of the police car.
"Therapy?" You question with shock as Sam looks back to the house regretfully.
