Run Away

Ch 20

"So, tell me about your childhood, whatever you remember" Micky said sipping on her smoothie and leaning to the front of the table

"Uh, well" the question had caught Bucky off guard. He hadn't thought about his childhood memories before "I was the oldest, I remember that. Uh, one of my sister was called Rebecca, she was sent to a boarding school in London. Uh, I was a good athlete and also good at school. I liked art and literature a lot, like Steve" he said, it was weird for him, every time he thought about his childhood, Steve was there

"You were really close, right?" Micky asked with a smile

"I guess so, he is in most of my childhood memories" he said "but the little one, not Captain America"

"Records say you protected him a lot" Micky said

"I remember getting in a lot of fights to defend him. He was a troublemaker" Bucky chuckled and Micky laughed too

Micky's laugh suddenly stopped as she saw someone across the street. She was wearing a hoodie and had a crossbow. It was Allison.

She aimed the crossbow at her but then a bus passed and she was gone

"You alright?" Bucky asked concerned turning around to try and see what she saw

"Uh, yeah, I just thought I saw an old friend" Micky said sadly "I need to use the ladies room. Be right back"

Micky went to the restaurant's bathroom. It consisted in a sink and two toilets, it was empty. Micky sighed and leaned in the sink. She felt crazy, first her mom, now Allison. She let the water run and splashed her face in an attempt to get better. She dryed her face softly with a paper towel but when she looked back to the mirror she gasped. Right behind her stood Aiden with blood in his mouth.

She turned around quickly but there was no one there. The fear in her stomach didn't die down and she left the bathroom and rushed to sit at her table

"Are you ok? You look pale" Bucky said "You look like you saw a ghost" When Micky looked at him, her eyes held fear, it scared Bucky to see her like that "Wait, you saw a ghost?"

"I've been seeing people all day"

"Your mom and your friend? Maybe they came to visit you as a surprise" Bucky said

"They can't" Micky said shaking her head

"Why not?"

"They're dead, Buck" Micky said making the Bucky's insides freeze

"I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"It's fine" Micky said "But I had never seen dead people before. I mean, I know I can, well, psychics can, but I had never done it before" Bucky could sense her uneasiness so he leaned closer trying to provide some sort of comfort

"Maybe your brother and friends know about it? Maybe it means something" Bucky suggested

"Yeah. Yeah, you're right" Micky agreed

When they finished lunch they returned to the apartment and Micky texted Stiles. He had promised to ask their druid friend, Dr. Deaton, as he was the most experienced in supernatural stuff from the rest of them. Micky was nervous almost all day and Bucky couldn't help but feel useless not knowing how to comfort her. It wasn't until 4pm that she received a call from her brother

"Hey, what do you got?" Micky asked

"Nothing that helpful, really. It is normal for psychics to see spirits and that, but you didn't call them, which means they decided to show themselves to you. That means they want to tell you something" Stiles said

"Tell me something? I don't talk spirit Stiles, how am I supposed to know what they want?" She asked exasperated

"I don't know, alright? You're the psychic, you should know"

"I don't exactly have a teacher, you know" Micky said "What about Lydia? She sees the dead right?"

"The only time she did was when Peter got into her mind and hypnotized her into reviving him"

"I don't think that's what Aiden, Allison or mom want. It was more like they were warning me" Micky said without thinking about it

"Warning? A warning for what?" Stiles asked "What did they do?"

"Well, first mom looked at me an left. Then Allison aimed her crossbow at me or something around me, and then Aiden had blood in his mouth"

"A death. They are warning you about someone getting injured enough to die. See? Allison represented the cause of death: an attack. Aiden represented the victim and mom..."

"A parent" Micky finished "Stiles how is dad?"

"He's fine. Nothing bad has happened to him" Stiles said

"What if the dread doctors want him? What if he gets injured?" Mikeyla panicked

"I won't let anything happen to him, ok? I promise" Mikeyla nodded to herself before replying

"Okay" she said

"I have to go now"

"Ok, keep me updated"

"Promise. Bye"

"Bye"

They hung up and Micky sat on the couch with Bucky, she didn't notice but she was nibbling at her finger nails. Bucky reached and pulled her hand away

"Stop worrying about it" Bucky said

"What if something bad happens and I'm not there to help?" Micky said. Bucky wouldn't say it, but he was glad Mikeyla wasn't in Beacon Hills, it meant she was safe

"You don't know what is going to happen, don't worry about things you can't control" Bucky said. Micky nodded and dropped the topic

They had dinner and watched a movie, Micky tried to not think about what was going on in Beacon Hills. They won't to sleep around 11 but Micky's phone rang around 1am. The ID caller was of Melissa McCall, Scott's mom who worked as a nurse in Beacon Hills hospital. She frowned and anwered

"Hello?" She asked

"I'm glad you answered" Melissa said with a sigh "Stiles didn't want to call you but I thought he should have"

"Why? What happened?" Micky asked. It has hesitation on the other end of the line

"It's your dad"

Bucky woke up from a nightmare again. Another one of his missions, he killed an old couple. He shook his head trying to get rid of the memory. It was only around 1 am and Bucky stood up and went to check on Micky just to get his head off things. He was surprised when he didn't find Micky in her room. He then heard a sniffle and turned towards the sound. Micky was sitting in the couch, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face, Bucky approached her carefully

"Micky?" He called concerned. Micky turned to him, allowing him to see the sadness in her eyes, she turned back around quickly though

"I'm sorry I woke you up" she said in a weak voice

"You didn't, don't worry" he said continuing to walk towards her "What's wrong?"

"I had a call from Scott's mom. She's a nurse in Beacon Hills hospital" Micky said not looking at him, she let out a sob "My dad is in surgery" more sobs left her mouth but she tried to conceal them "He was attacked. All of my friends were attacked, actually. No one is answering their phone" Mikeyla couldn't stop crying "I can't lose my dad. Not now. Not like this"

Bucky hated seeing he like that, he decided he had to comfort her. He sat next to her and put his arm around her, his right arm. It was the first time he initiated any unnecessary physical contact, he was being as careful as he could. Mikeyla welcomed the feeling and leaned on him, still crying. Bucky moved his other arm to grab her legs and put them across his lap, he hugged her as she cried with her face buried in his chest. Bucky held her tight and ran his hand through her hair. After some minutes her sobs died down, Bucky glanced down at her only to see her sleeping. He didn't move for a while not wanting to wake her up. At the end, he fell asleep too.
