Where: The Mansion
Rating: Low, probably
There were a lot of things Stephanie didn’t understand about this place. How there could be multiple versions of one person, for example. What she did understand was how much Bucky meant to her. She loved him, and had never quite gotten over the loss of him in her life. Even with him back, it wasn’t the same. Hydra had twisted him into something that wasn’t entirely Bucky anymore, but also didn’t stop her from wanting him in her life. She’d fought for him. Destroyed friendships for him. She’d do it all again in a heartbeat if it meant keeping him out of hands that might hurt him even more than he’d already been hurt.
Now it seemed she was being given a chance to have her Bucky back. The man who’d fought at her side during the war, who’d been her first and best friend. It hurt her to think about what she had to tell him about everything that had happened since. All the pain and suffering. But she had to do it. Stephanie knew that this wasn’t something she could keep from him. It was just a matter of trying to find the right words. The entire walk to the Mansion she mulled over ways to start. Nothing felt right, and by the time she arrived her stomach was in knots.
Seeing him brought tears to her eyes she didn’t bother trying to pretend weren’t there. This reunion was so different than the one back home. He’d tried to kill her then. Hadn’t even known her. But not even those memories, as awful was they were, were enough to make her hesitate. Stephanie closed the distance between them in a heartbeat, wrapping her arms around Bucky and hugging him tightly. It felt like a dream. “I don’t know how this is possible, but I’m so happy you’re here.”
