Faith's P.O.V.

I stood next to Bucky, I wore a pair of black dress paints, and a black button up blouse.
Tears were on most of everyone's face.I didn't cry. I couldn't. If I did, I wouldn't be able to stop.
Bucky help me close to him
Pepper and Tony's daughter ,Morgan, were closest to Tony's Memorial.... It was the hardest for them. Such a sweet little girl.... I felt bad for her.... She reminded me of my sister Brooklyn.
After the funeral, I walked over to Morgan and Happy. "Hi..." I said to the small girl. She looked at me, playing with her fingers. I knelt next to her. Pulling something out of my pocket.

I held it out to her." I'm sorry... Its not very , childish... But I wanted you to have it. It was my little sister's. " I tell her. He.looked.at it then to me, taking the   necklace.in her small fingers."what happened to her?" Morgan asked. I smile softly . "lets just say, the same place as your daddy." I whisper to her. " she.smiles at me, hugging me. Happy put the necklace on her, I hug her back.

A few days later.... Me ,Sam, Bruce,  Bucky, and Steve, stood by a lake in the woods. Steve and Bucky were talking. I was  letting them talk. Steve hugged Bucky, and Sam, then I walked over to him" be care full Steve.... Me and Bucky can't save you this time...." I say, tears leaking from my eyes. He hugs me. "I will. Take care of Bucky for me until I get back..." he said. I laughed softly." Sure thing buddy " I said. " alright, put the stones back, and come back, don't mess with anything else in the past or what ever"he says.  Steve nods, and he disappears.
"how long will he take " Bucky asks Bruce. "As long as he needs, but for us, about 5 seconds," Bruce said. "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,.....and 1" he said,  nothing  happened. "Were is he?" Sam said."I don't know! "Bruce said. Bucky freaked a bit. As the three of them argued, I looked  by the water, and I saw an old man. With a bag next to him.

I looked at him carefully, And walked over to him. " "Steve?" I asked. Standing slightly behind the man. "The water is nice..." He said. I smiled. I knew exactly what happened. " yeah, it is.... " I say, Sam and Bucky come to us. " so.... How was it?" Sam asked. "Peacefully" Steve said. I went to stand next to Bucky, with out warning he slipped his  arm over my shoulders. I felt my face turn warm.
Steve motioned Sam to sit next to him. Sam  did, and  Steve handed him the shield.
"its yours now Sam... I know you'll do what's right with it."  Steve said.
Sam held it in his hands." How does it feel" Steve asked." Like it belongs to someone else " Sam said.    " Well... It belongs to you know Captain America" Steve said.  Sam  stood up, and Steve turned around to me and Bucky. " you two look good together " Steve chuckled. Both of us turned Crimson. And jumped away from each other. Sam and Steve laughed at us.

Bucky's P.O.V

Steve's funeral was really sad... I held Faith to me the whole time...she cried for days. I was upset too.
In a few hours,  Faith would get pardoned, just as I did. And she would have to stand in the white house, alone.... I wasn't. Allowed to go with her, but Fury and Pepper were.
I sat in my apartment. Waiting for her to get back. It has been two days and to be 100% honest, I was nervous. To see Faith again. I didn't know why, she and I were best friends... For longer than I could remember. And I was nervous to see her. It was probably because life was going to get back to normal, and me and her would be able to catch up.
Or Was it because  I liked her more then just a friend for the longest time, and.didn't have the guts to tell her?

~~~~three hours later~~~~~
I heard a soft knock at the door, I opened it, it was Fury, Faith, And Christina Rayner my therapist.
"Hello Mr. Barnes... Good to see you today ,We Have some things To discuss." Fury Rushed to Say. "Discuss about what?". I asked.
"About miss Kelley Here... She Needs a Place to Stay and I believe that you Both shouldn't be Alone anymore." Doctor Rayner said. "Are you suggesting that we should live together?" I asked."Yes Mr. Barnes exactly what we are saying." Fury said in a harsh tone."It wasn't really my idea.... "  faith said in a small voice. Another agreement.  "I understand completely what you're saying but Why Do you Want me To stay with her.?" I questioned."You two are Similar you both  have gone through the same things And I believe That Neither of you should have To be Alone When you Could be There for each other. "  Dr  Rayner said. "Okay That's fine I guess... When is our Next session?". I Asked Dr.Rayner."This Friday and it won't just be me and you it will be Miss Kelley too... which I'm not asking I'm telling... Mr. Barnes, Miss kelley have a nice day." She said walking away Fury Looked at Faith And me Then walked After Dr. Rayner. Faith looked at me. "So... Umm...  That was not weird." I said. She did an awkward smile. You know, the smile you do if a stranger waves, or, if someone looks at you in the store.
I let her in, and showed her the living room. . "thanks Buck."  She said softly. I smiled at her, I opened my arms. She walked into them, resting her head on my chest. And we hugged for what felt like an hour. But neither of us complained.

Later that night, I sat on the two person couch, and I turned on a movie. It was back from when we were younger.
She came out of the bathroom, wearing blue sweat pants and a white tank top, her long hair darker because it was wet. She sat next to me, and tucked her knees to her chest, I didn't  realize I was staring... Her metal arm curled around her legs, and her other arm did the same. Even now, while we were both Super soldiers, she looked small. Like a child... Like she did after her sisters died.
Her sisters were sweet sometimes. Most times they were mean to Faith. And They annoyed her. But she still loved them.
When her dad died... She was paralyzed. For Mabry a year and a half before she got better. She cared about him a lot. Sure, he wasn't the kindest, or the nicest man ever, but he ment well. And he would give her 25 cents every week for babysitting and chores.
Her step mom and brother were ass holes. Both hated Faith, mistreated her, and just were cruel. Her brother worked for hydra  for a few months, killing him in an experiment on purpose. Her step mom, died of  cancers in her lungs, liver, and kidneys.  Faith didn't cry, she wasn't surprised either. Beings worthless Alcoholic did that.

I felt something on my shoulder. I had gotten most in my thoughts, and didn't know how much time passed by. I looked down, and saw that Faith had fallen asleep on me. It was adorable.

~~~~Faith's P.O.V~~~~

My dream started out  like this.

I was on the beach with Bucky, we were laughing and talking and we held hands, just as the sun was setting. The pretty oranges and pinks and reds and indigos filled the  sky.
Just as I thought it would get better, it didn't.

"Oh come on! Your not even that good at fighting. Your just a stupid  little girl!" A big bully laughed a little blonde girl. I couldn't see who it was. But I grabbed the bully and kneed him in the groin.
He fell, groaning in pain. I looked at the small girl, and recognized her at once. "Hope! what happened ? You should be at Lauren's!"13 year old me said, picking my 7 year old sister up. She was crying." I'm sorry cissy..."she said tears running down her soft, red cheeks." Its okay, I'm not mad..."I said setting her down, holding her hand."But here's a tip....  Aim for The nose  next time." I said. She smiled. I felt some one put that hand on my shoulder." Hey.... Come on lets get you home, before your father gets mad at me, I did tell him I'd take you home after school" the 14year old Bucky said to me. I smile " you know James, I can walk home alone, I've done it for years. " I said still smiling. Bucky smiled back at me."but here's the thing... You don't have to" he said.

The dream shifted again. I was in Hydras base, being put on machines. All I could feel was pain.
Pain
Pain
Pain
This was my life... How it was always like,no one cared Bout me, no one cared about my pain.
You can fake a smile... And pretend to be fine,  you never will be and no one can never see that... You can put on a mask and no one can see through it. You can pretend that you're fine and your okay, that  everything will be okay. But deep Down inside you know  it Will never be.
Pain
Pain
And more pain.

Images of Bucky flowed into my mind. And I screamed. Waking up to some one shaking me."hey... Your okay, it was just a dream..." Bucky whispers to me."I'm sorry..."I said, as he ran his hand through my now dry hair.
"For what?" he asked, "waking you up... I didn't mean to..." I said. He chuckled softly. " its fine... I hate the nightmares too" he said." You have nightmares? " I say, Bucky just  smiled. It was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. " of course I do doll" he said, " but.... What are you scared of? Your brave.. And strong, and...." I stopped. Bucky was laughing.. Like.... Bent  over wearing laughing. " its not funny James !" I said. He wrapped his armed around me. My whole body felt warm. I felt safe in his arms.... Like nothing could hurt me. Not even dreams.
"Oh faithie... I'm scared of hydra, I'm scared of the winter solider... And I'm scared to loose the one thing I thought i lost, and just got Back..."  He said, me.... He was scared to loose me? Why? "oh..." I said. I was scared of those things too.  Bucky kissed my head. God, he was too romantic... And we weren't even dating... He did it on purpose  just to cluster me back in the 30's. Maybe that was what he is doing now.... I wanted to tell him how I felt, but it would be weird... Wouldn't it? " we should both go back to sleep... We have a big day tomorrow... " he said. I nodded, laying my head on his chest, some freaking how, we were both laying down in the couch. "Don't worry doll ill protect you from the nightmares" he said, "not if I  protect you first" I protest." Okay, we'll see" he said. Then we both driffed off to sleep.
