Cry of Rage

A groan of her hangover kicking in, Gwen rolled over onto her stomach. She kept her brown eyes shut tight as she woke up. Her hands grabbed a pillow from the head of the bed and threw it over head head. Hearing someone else’s breathing near her, she peaked out from the cave she had made around her face to see Bucky asleep.

Gwen removed the pillow and crawled over to him. She snuggled up to his chest and looked up at his left arm. This was the first time she had seen his arm without him wearing a shirt. Bringing up her finger to spot on his shoulder where the bionic arm met his flesh, she traced the outline of metal. In a second metal fingers gripped her waist and stopped her movements. Her eyes went up to met the gaze of Bucky’s blue eyes.

“Stop.”

“It’s alright, Buck.”

She told him and brought her lips to the fingers that were wrapped around her small wrist. After her lips left his metal fingers he let go of her wrist. She put her finger back on hi skin and continued to trace the end of his metal arm.

“I didn’t know it went up this far.”

Bucky didn’t say anything, he just watched her look at his arm. There her fingertips traced over the scares that lined his shoulder.

“Bucky. I’m sorry about last night.”

“It’s alright.”

He told her kissing the top of her head. Gwen smiled and moved closer to him. His left arm wrapped around her and held her tight.

“None of that is anything to be ashamed of.”

“How would you even know, Gwen.”

“No one is perfect. I’m sure as hell not.”

Bucky rolled his eyes and Gwen shook her head. She moved away from Bucky and stood up on her knees. Reaching behind her back she pulled the zipper down along her spine. Bucky watched her wide eyed and a tad confused in what she was doing. Gwen kicked the dress off and looked at Bucky. She pointed up to her right shoulder to the stitches that were there from the bullet he shot at her.

“This was from the Winter Soldier. I have forgiven him for what he had done.”

Then she pointed down to her abdomen where a four inch scar.

“This was from Brock Rumlow. He stabbed me when I told him to go to hell.”

Turning around Bucky saw a burn mark in the more of the middle of her back.

“From the Battle of New York. It was from the Chitauri’s weapons.”

Gwen looked back over at Bucky and turned back to face him. Sitting down next to him she pointed to her left leg and a long six inch scar down her outer thigh.

“Car accident when I was 18. I was out partying with some friends from high school and we crashed into another car. I was thrown from the car and the windshield cut my leg open. Then I had my head cut open and I have a three inch scar on my head.”

Bucky just looked at her and couldn’t stop looking at her.

“We aren’t all perfect. My scars might be different from your’s but I’m not perfect. No one is.”

Bucky put his hand out and touched the scar on her leg. He looked up at her face and saw her smiling at him. He leaned forwards and kissed the scar.

“We have our battle scars they make us stronger. Some come in different forms, but your arm is one of those. This arm saved your life, Buck. Without it you would have dyed in that ravine.”

“I would have never met you.”

Gwen giggled and turned a light shade of red.

“Well, thank HYDRA for sending you to hunt Steve down then. Because you would have never met me.”

Bucky chuckled and sat up next to her. He put his hand on the side of Gwen’s face and smiled at her. Leaning forward Bucky kissed her and cradled her head in his hands. Gwen kissed back and worked her hands up to his neck. Bucky worked his way on top of Gwen and pinned her down to the mattress. Gwen felt her stomach rise to her throat and not in a good way. turned her head away from him and let out a deep breath. He went to took her face back into his hands, but she pushed his hand away feeling the sickness wash over her again. Getting up from the bed and ran down the hall to the bathroom. Before she even made it to the bathroom she started throwing up in the hallway.

Picking herself up Gwen looked down at ground at the vomit. She heard Bucky walking towards her. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand before turning to look at him.

“Don’t you dare laugh.”

She told him as smile came to his face. She rolled her eyes and walked down the hall towards her room. But Bucky followed her and put his hand around her waist. He helped her to her bedroom.

“Could you go get a trash can?”

He looked around the room and saw a trash can by the dresser. Quickly run over he grabbed it and brought it over to her. She ripped it out of his hands and threw up again. Bucky just stood there and watched her, not sure in what to do. Slowly he started walk towards her but she held her hand out.

“I’m fine. Go get dressed or something.”

She said into the trash can as she felt the nausea fall over her again. He nodded and walked out of her room. Walking back to his room he looked at the vomit on the floor. He went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel off the rank. Running it under the water, then walking back out to the vomit on the floor. Cleaning it up he heard Gwen down the hall puking again.

“Why do I do this to myself?”

She cursed loudly, making Bucky chuckle. When he was done cleaning it up he went back into the bathroom and cleaned off the towel. When everything was cleaned he went to his bedroom and got dressed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Never again.”

Gwen told herself as she got out of the shower and dried herself off with a towel. With another towel she quickly dried her hair. Walking into the bedroom she went to the dark wood dresser and pulled out clean underwear and dropped her towel. Opening another drawer and grabbed a pair of under armour tight shorts. She walked across the room and grabbed a sweatshirt out of the closet. When she was covered she found a hair tie on the floor and pulled her hair into a messy bun.

Walking over to her office Gwen grabbed her glasses off her desk and put them on her face before walking down to the kitchen.

“Ms. Brewster.”

“Yes JARVIS?”

“Ms. Vonn and Ms. Oliver are in the lobby. Shall I let them up?”

Groning Gwen hung her head.

“Sure, let them up.”

“Right away ma’am.”

Gwen rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen but stopped mid step when she realized that Macey and Ronda were on their way up.

“Bucky!”

“What?”

“You’re dressed right?”

She turned her head to see him standing there dressed. He wore dark jeans and a grey shirt.

“What’s going on?”

“Macey and Ronda are on their way up here.”

Bucky looked confused and then the elevator doors opened.

“Gweny! How’s my favorite maid of honor?”

Macey said walking into the room. Gwen looked from Bucky to her friends. Bucky did the same.

“Hey guys. Why are you here so early?”

“Early? Girl it’s three in the afternoon. What world are you living in?”

“Sorry. I just woke up.”

Ronda walked into the kitchen and to the fridge while Macey went and hugged Gwen.

“Are you going to introduce us?”

Bucky said walking closer to three girls. Gwen just looked at him like she had seen a ghost. Ronda and Macey looked over at him and their jaws dropped.

“Damn, I thought he was good looking last night, but damn.”

Ronda said from the kitchen. Gwen shot her friend a look, to which she just smiled.

“Macey, Ronda. This is Bucky. Bucky, this is Macey and Ronda.”

Bucky now stood next to Gwen and held his hand out to take Macey’s hand. Macey took it and her face turned a light shade of pink.

“So are you the one who's been stealing all of Gwen’s time?”

“You could say that.”

Gwen smiled and looked over at Bucky who was just surprising her.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Ronda and Macey stayed for about another hour before Devon called saying that someone from the wedding venue called. Macey ran out like she was in labor.

“Sorry. Bye! It was nice to met you Bucky!”

He waved from the table as Macey got into the elevator. Now it was just Ronda was left and she was in the middle of eating some food she took from the kitchen.

“Ron, don’t you think it’s time you’d get going?”

Gwen asked walking back over to the table. Ronda looked up from her sandwich to met Gwen’s stare. She raised her eyebrows and gave her a wink.

“Oh, I see how it is.”

Ronda said standing up dramatically. Gwen rolled her eyes as her friend looked over at Bucky.

“I totally understand. He’s hot.”

Gwen rolled her eyes again and hugged her.

“Seriously, if you’re not tapping that you’re no longer my friend.”

Ronda told her in a voice so only Gwen could hear her. Letting out a laugh Gwen shook her head.

“I'm serious, Gwendolyn. I’ll be happy to take him on.”

“Go.”

Gwen said shoving her away. Ronda laughed and waved at Bucky.

“Bye Bucky.”

“Nice to meet you officially Ronda.”

Gwen walked Ronda over to the elevator and pretty much shoved her into the elevator. When the doors shut Gwen turned around and let out a sigh.

“Well that was fun.”

Bucky said with a chuckle from the table. Gwen smiled and walked back over to the dining room table.

“Sorry, about them. Just be happy it was all of us. Then you’re in for some real fun.”

Bucky laughed again and got up from his chair and walked towards her. Gwen smiled and stopped half way, making him walk the rest of the way.

“I’m guessing I’ll have to met them all at some point.”

“If you play your cards right.”

Bucky smiled at the ground and stood in front of her. Putting his hands on her arms he pulled her into him.

“I intended to.”

~*~*~*~*~*~

Gwen sat on the couch and stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth. Her eyes were glued to the TV as Star Wars: A New Hope started. Bucky walked over from the kitchen with a glass of water in his hand and he sat down next to her.

“So what is this?”

“The greatest movie to have ever been made.”

“So say that a lot.”

“Well this one is. Now shut it.”

On the screen the iconic music and yellow text rolled up.

“It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships striking from a hidden base have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy.”

Gwen said in a weird deepish voice as she read the text on the screen. Bucky laughed and wrapped his arm around her.

“You’re weird.”

“Am not. Ask everyone in the world and they will say that this is the best movie ever. Shut your trap and watch this.”

Gwen said slapping him. Bucky did as he was told and watched the movie with her. Over the next two hours they watched the movie and Bucky would steal a kiss from her every once in a while, but Gwen would tell him to watch the movie.

When it finally over Bucky picked Gwen up and placed her on his lap. She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he looked up at her.

“What did you think?”

“It was good.”

He said as he rested his hands on her hips and slowly moved his fingers under the fabric of her sweatshirt.

“Best part is there’s two more.”

“Wonderful.”

He said as Gwen moved her face closer to his. She stopped a few inches away and smiled.

“What?”

He asked looking up at her with concern in his almost bottomless blue eyes.

“You’re gorgeous.”

“Same can be said about you, dollface.”

“Stop it.”

She said playfully slapping his chest. Giggling Gwen got off his lap and kissed his forehead.

“I have to go to bed.”

She told him as she walked away and down the hall.

“Is that an invasion?”

Bucky called after her. Turning around Gwen smirked.

“It’s whatever you want it to be, Serg."
