You were in love during the war time, and you stayed in love with him when you awoke after being under the ice for 70 years, and you love him still...even though he's a shell of who he used to be.

"Bucky! Bucky, it's me!" you shout, trying to get him to come out of one of his flashbacks.

Bucky's eyes shift all over the room. He starts speaking in Russian. You understand a handful of words before he starts running for the exit to the room in the Avengers Tower. He bursts through, breaking into the hallway. You turn on your powers, using magic to fly after him. You see Steve in the hallway across from a confused Bucky. "He's not himself!" you call to one of your oldest friends.

Steve nods and runs after Bucky as he tries to make his way towards the elevator. "Calm down, Buck! It's us!"

Bucky doesn't listen. He continues towards the elevator. Steve tackles him to the ground as you fly over and in front of the elevator. You see several SHIELD analysts in the elevator. Those people aren't trained for combat. You use your powers to put up a wall of spell work between them and Bucky.

"I can't keep him down!" Steve shouts as Bucky moves out of his grip and lands a solid right-hook to Steve's jaw. Steve falls back, and Bucky turns his animalistic gaze towards you.

"It's me, Bucky," you tell him again. "It's [Y/n]!"

Bucky charges you, but you don't move. You plant your feet and keep the shield up, protecting the civilians. Bucky pulls his fist back and starts landing hit after hit on your spell. After a few hits, the spell breaks. Steve shouts for you to move, but it's too late.

Bucky's left-hook makes contact with your face and you're knocked unconscious.
