Three
Arabella was told to head back to the plane and wait for the rest to arrived. When Bucky and Sam finally arrived, Arabella could tell they were tense. No one spoke as they took their own seat wherever they wanted, Arabella’s was standing right besides Bucky on the boxes. She took a hand on her own with a light squeeze, when she went pull away, Bucky did not let it go, he just tighten his hold on her.
"You all right?" Sam asked, Bucky nodded,
"Let's take the shield." Bucky said, Arabella’s heart tighten at his pain. "Let's take the shield and do this ourselves."
"We can't just run up on the man, beat him up, and take it." Sam said back, he seated up. "Do you remember what happened the last time we stole it?"
"Maybe."
“I'll help you in case you forgot." He said sternly as Arabella remembered when Steve went to her home and explained to her everything that had happened, he also give her a phone that she could use to contact him , "Sharon was branded enemy of the state, and Steve, and I were on the run for two years."
"I don't know about you, but I don't wanna love the rest of my life la vida loca." He said before he continued, "We just got our ass handed to us by Super Soldiers, Arabella’s first mission was a total failure.”
“Great, way to cheer me up Samuel.” Arabella sarcastically said with a pout.
“No problem, shortie.” Arabella give him another pout with a frown. Bucky tighten his hold on her a bit more, causing to Arabella to look at him with a confuse look,
"There is someone I want you two to meet." He said looking at the two,
Where are we going, Buck?” Arabella’s voice made him smile at her with tenderness, his heart and ears loving the sound of her voice.
"Baltimore, Maryland."
Arabella had changed into fresh clothes that consisted of ripped high waisted denim pants, with a green tank top and beige cardigan. Arabella had straighten her blonde hair and putted in a high ponytail, some of her bangs were still display. Bucky and Sam also changed into a new set of clothes. They were walking through the streets of Baltimore, Arabella watched smiling at two kids who were watching them walked. Arabella didn’t noticed how Bucky took a quick glance back at her, or how his eyes visible relaxed.
"Hey, it's Black Falcon. What's up?" one of the little kids said making Arabella’s smile widen
"It's just Falcon, kid." Sam said as the trio continued walking on the sidewalk..
"No, no. My daddy told me it's Black Falcon." The kid insisted.
Arabella let Sam stay with the kids, while she continued walking with Bucky. She intertwined subtly their hands together looking forward with a small smile and blush, she could feel Bucky’s eyes on her piercing into her soul. Bucky never let her hand go from his own, they stayed silence the whole way until they were in front of the house where they reluctantly let go of each others hand. Both of them were missing the warm they give each other.
When Sam catched up with them, Bucky knocked on the door.The door on the inside opened, "We're here to see Isaiah." Bucky said, Making Arabella curious on who that man was.
"Nobody named Isaiah live here." The man said obviously lying, Arabella would wince at how bad he was at lying.
"Look, we just want to talk to him." Bucky said calmly.
"You must not hear what I just said." The guy said annoyed at Bucky, "You ain't getting in this house. Y'all can leave now." He nodded his head towards the stairs.
"Tell him the guy from the bar in Goyang is here." Bucky said looking at the floor then to the guy. "He's gonna know what that means."
"All right, wait here." The guy said closing the door
"Nice kid. How do you know this guy?" Sam asked the question that both he and Arabella had been thinking since the beginning
"I used to, we had a skirmish during the Korean War." He said before the trio were let inside of the house.
"Today's your lucky day, he said he wanna see for himself." The guy said when the trio entered, Arabella stayed neared Bucky.
"Isaiah?" Bucky asked walking up to him,
"Look at you." He said looking at Bucky, Arabella was intimidated by the man he had firm voice that made her shake a bit overpowered, but something inside of her felt familiar about the man to her.
"This is, uh, Sam and this is-" He said before getting cut off.
"Arabella Bailey." Isaiah said looking directly at Arabella, his eyes soften a bit. Sam and Bucky looked confused at how Isaiah knew about Arabella.
"He was a hero." Bucky said as Isaiah looked back at Bucky again, the hardness in his eyes came back. "One of the ones that HYDRA feared the most. Like Steve. We uh met in '51."
"If by met, you mean I whipped your ass, then, yeah." Isaiah spoke up making Arabella chuckled, Bucky wanted to bury himself in embarrassment and Isaiah almost broke into a smile. "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." Arabella was now admiring the man and his strength "But I see he's managed to grow it back." Isaiah glanced at the now vibranium arm that's connected to Bucky. "I just wanted to see if he got the arm back, or if he'd come to kill me." He said Arabella stared at him in sadness, her hands squishing each other.
"I'm not a killer anymore." Bucky said shaking his head, Arabella placed her hand on his hand in reassurance.
"You think you can wake up one day and decide who you wanna be? It doesn't work like that." He said making Arabella eyes widen in disbelief at the coldness. "Well, maybe it does for folks like you ."
"Isaiah, the reason we're here....is because there's more of you, and me out there." He said, Arabella now realise why they were here.
"You, and me" Isaiah said shakily.
"And we need to know how." Bucky asked
"I'm not gonna talk about it anymore!" He said angrily as he threw something, making Arabella flinched. Bucky out of instinct pulled her into his chest. "You know what they did to me for being a hero?" He pointed to himself.
"They put my ass in jail for thirty years." He said as his voice shook making Arabella realized on how he knew her. "People running tests, taking my blood, coming into my cell. Even y'all's people weren't done with me." He directed it to Bucky, but Isaiah’s eyes went to Arabella his eyes held sadness.
"Isaiah.." Sam tried to speak but was cut off,
"Get out of my house!" He shouted, Arabella followed after Sam and Bucky out of the house not before giving Isaiah a small wave and smile as to saying goodbye.
✧༺♡༻✧
"Sam-" Bucky tried to talk but was cut off,
"Why didn't you tell me about Isaiah?" Sam asked sternly as the group walked towards the street, "How could nobody bring him up?" Bucky didn’t answered him, making Sam more agitated, "I asked you a question, Bucky."
"I know." He said,
"Steve didn't know about him?" Arabella asked for the first time in the whole time, gaining the attention of the two males
"He didn't, I didn't tell him." Bucky said as Arabella noticed a cop car driving, her eyes widen fear consuming her. Oh, JinJIn will kill me if I get arrested.
"So you're telling me that there was a black Super Soldier decades ago and nobody knew about it?" Sam said pointed towards Isaiah's direction.
Arabella than heard a siren then spot the cop car stop in front of them "Hey." The cop said whilst getting out of the car,
"What's up, man?" Sam responded.
"Is there a problem here?" He asked the group, Arabella was avoiding eye contact she fidgeting with her fingers in a nervous way. Bucky, who noticed, placed his hand on her back pulling her into him comforting her.
"No, we're just talking." Sam said.
"We're fine, so how about you go on with your day." Bucky said a bit rough as they looked at Sam,
"Can I see your ID?" the cop asked Sam.
Sam refused to give the cop his ID. Arabella buried herself deeper into Bucky’s side, Bucky also pulled her deeper into him refusing to let go of her. Arabella was nervous around the cops, and Bucky wanted to protect her. Bucky did not know it yet, but he was protecting the love of his life.
Bucky had to admit he had a soft spot for the girl, however, he did not want to admit he was developing feelings for the girl. He was staring to see how whenever she was around or touching him, he would feel himself relax and not go out all aggressive, just like an anchor.
She was his anchor.
"Just give him your ID, so we can leave." Bucky said annoyed.
"No, I'm not giving him shit." Sam argues with Bucky
"Hey, hey." The officer gets Sams attention "Is this guy bothering you two?" The cop pointed at Sam
“No. he is not, we are fine.” Arabella reassured, she was still in Bucky’s embrace, which only tighten his hold.
"Do you know who this is?" Bucky said loudly, that is when one of the cops eyes widen in realization, He than whispered something to the other cop.
"Oh, god. I am so sorry, Mr. Wilson." The cop apologizes "I didn't recognize you without the goggles. I'm really, really sorry about this."
When the cops walked away, Bucky turned to look at Sam again " I didn't tell anybody because he had already been through enough."
"Mr. Barnes, there's a warrant out for your arrest." The cop that had returned said making Arabella pulled away slightly from Bucky’s side with a frown.
"No, wait, the president pardoned him for all of that." Arabella said as Sam nodded in agreement.
"Not for that, you missed your court-mandated therapy." The officer explained, Arabella frowned in confusion. "It's like missing a check-in with your PO." Another officer explained as Arabella stepped away from Bucky, missing the little pout Bucky give her when she pulled away from him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes, you're under arrest." The officer said
"Buck, we'll meet you at the station." Arabella reassured him with teary eyes and a sad smile. Bucky wanted nothing more than to go and pull her into his chest, to reassure her that everything will be alright, that nothing will happened. He just wanted Arabella to be in between his arm.
He wanted his Arabella to be with him.
