"Risk. That's the difference between bravery and cowardness."

Bucky couldn't believe his eyes. It's...it's her. The same (h/c) hair, the same (e/c) eyes. Good memories of the past, of when they were dating, filled his mind.(Y/n), his (y/n). Bucky felt a sudden guilt. Should he call her 'his' after what he did?

But... Seeing her like that, wounded and bleeding, made fear grip Bucky's heart. What happened to her? Actually, scratch that. What happened to New York?

The streets were messed up with chunks of boulders and parts of buildings falling. A huge building had fallen down. And everyone was running here and there, to get to safety. But Bucky, he was as though in a daze. Seeing her after almost four years, was just-

A man pushed against Bucky as the man tried to run off, away from the danger. Bucky got out from his daze. He rushed towards (y/n). She was leaning against the car. An orange Audi r8. The car was crashed against another building. Maybe she had a car accident and was anyway able to crawl out of the damaged car. He cradled her injured body, taking her face in his hands. She flinched as his cold metal hand made contact with her cheek. Her eyes, slowly fluttered open. Those eyes, those beautiful eyes. Bucky misses them so much. It's hard to believe that he was able to survive without a gaze into those beautiful eyes for almost 4 years.

"Bucky...." She breathed out. Her head was bleeding.

"Don't worry, (y/n). I'll let nothing happen to you-"

She just barely pointed, with her left hand, towards a child. A little girl. But what caught Bucky's eyes at first, was the fact that a ring shined on her finger. Oh. So, she's married.

"Save...my...child..." She said in between breaths. That's when Bucky noticed the little girl. She had brown hair, and looked just like (y/n). But then his gaze drifted upwards, she was standing below the broken building. And a big chunk of that broken building would fall upon her in no time.

Bucky made a rush towards her. And just as he removed her from there, the big chunk fell. Bucky pulled away to look at the little girl. And then he saw her eyes. Blue. Dare he say that he found traits of himself and (y/n) in this little girl. Then (y/n)'s words came back to his mind,

'Bucky, I'm pregnant.'

So, that means, this little girl, is their child. Bucky and (y/n)'s. Bucky hugged the child, tightly. The fact that she was about to-

No, Bucky wouldn't even let that thought cross his mind. He'd fight anyone who would even try to hurt his child and (y/n).

Bucky returned to where (y/n) was. And he let the child go to her mother.

"Mom!" She chirped as she went and wrapped her little arms around (y/n).

(Y/n) just smiled weakly, "Hey, don't worry. Papa is going to beat that robot, like he always does. And we'll be home soon." Probably a false hope.

'Robot? What robot?' Bucky wondered. But what stung was the fact that by 'papa', she didn't mean him.

"Bucky..." (Y/n) gasped for air as she struggled to speak.

Bucky was beside her in an instance, concern gracing his features.

"Yes?" He didn't know what else to say. He just wanted her to know that he would be with her no matter what. He wouldn't leave her, not again.

"Please... Promise me....that you would take care of.... Our daughter." She said between gasps for air.

"Don't... Don't say like that, I won't let anything happen to you-"

"No Buck... It's-" she coughed up a bit of blood. Bucky's syed widened with fear. No. This can't be happening. He can't lose her.

"It's the end... For me at least. I... I can feel it."

"No, (y/n), you can't leave me-" she placed a slender finger over his lips, hushing him.

She smiled at him weakly. Even though a bit if blood trickled down the corner of her lips, to Bucky, she seemed to be the most beautiful. Just like she always has been.

"Please, promise me..." She layed her hand in front of him.

Tears formed in his eyes. He pressed his lips together, forming a tight line. He gripped her hand tightly. He could feel the warmth fading from her hand.

"I promise." He said, his voice breaking.

She smiled at him one last time. Now that she knows that her daughter will be secure, she can depart without a tension.

"Thank you, Bucky." And with that, she closed her eyes, laying her head on his shoulder. Her souls departed, now free from all the pains of the world.

Bucky looked at her in disbelief. A look of pure horror gracing his countenance.

"No... No. No. NO!!" He held her body closer to his, burying his face on the crook of her neck. He let his tears fall free. This... This all happened because he was a coward.

"(Y/n), I love you. I love you so much. Please. Please don't leave me, I was such an i***t!"

He left when he heard that she was pregnant because he was afraid. Afraid that if Hydra came to know about her, she would be in danger. But indirectly, Bucky leaving her, pushed her further towards danger rather than away from it. If... If only Bucky had been with her. If only he had taken the risk. If only he had been a bit brave, then she wouldn't have been dead.

A little hand was placed on his shoulder. Bucky pulled away from (y/n) to peer into the blue eyes. Of their daughter.

"Hey mister, everything's gonna be okay. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Mamma always says that." She said with a bright smile.

Bucky's heart clenched at her innocence. She doesn't know that she just lost her mother. Her little hands cupped his cheeks, wiping away his tears with her little thumb.

He was quick enough to pull her into an embrace, just like he had done before. His hand cupped the back of her head as he poured all the passion he had in him as he hugged his daughter.

As he pulled away, he tried to smile at her and asked, "So, what's your name, little one?"

"Maria Stark. And your's, Mister?"

Bucky's heat clenched. He doesn't know which fact should he process first. The fact that (y/n) was married to Tony Stark. Or the fact that they named their daughter Maria Stark. After Tony's mother. Whom Bucky had killed. Albeit as the Winter Soldier but the murder had been done by his hands.

Bucky swallowed the lump in his throat. And said, "Bucky. "

Just as she was speak, a loud crash was heard. Two metal bodies, one silver colored while the other was a blur of red, crashed on the ground. As they stood up, the silver one, held the red one by the throat, hosting him up from the ground. Bucky's eyes widened. Tony Stark. And Ultron.

Now Bucky understood why Steve said that they had an emergency here in New York. But the Avengers had broken up. That's why Ultron chose this time to attack. Bucky understood Ultron's plan- taking down the Avengers one by one when they are broken up.

But the one thing that caught Bucky's eye was the fact that the armour over Tony's left hand had broken down and a ring shined on his finger. So that's what happened. After Bucky left, Tony must have stepped in. And now, (y/n) and Tony are married. Well, were married.

"Look at you, Stark, all beaten up and broken. How do you plan to destroy me when you are in such a condition?" Ultron mocked.

"That's, for me to decide and for you to find out!" Tony tried to blast him but Ultron took out the arc reactor from Tony's chest. A groan of pain from Tony was heard. Ultron dripped him to the ground and then crushed the blue arc reactor and let the crushed pieces fall beside Tony.

Bucky felt rage burn inside him. His jaws tightened and his fists clenched. Ultron. He killed his (y/n).

"Maria, stay here. I've got a work to finish." He told her.

Just as Ultron was about to fly away, Bucky pounced on him from behind and hit him continuously on his head with his metal arm, tears steaming down his face. His face one of pure wrath, anger and heart brokenness.

"How dare you! She died! All because of you, you damn scrap of metal!" Bucky growled.

But his attacks didn't seem to affect Ultron. He just simply pushed Bucky off him. As Bucky landed on his back, on the ground, near Tony, Ultron flew upto a certain height and said,

"Well, that's just the start. Tell the others that I'll be coming for them. Tell them that Ultron is back." And with that being followed by a sinister laugh, Ultron flew away.

"Noo!" Bucky growled as he hit the ground hard with his metal fist.

"Barnes..." Tony groaned.

Bucky came upto Tony and helped him to stand up. Maria followed upto them, "Papa, what's happening?" She asked innocently.

Tony smiled at her weakly and ruffled her brown hair. He felt sorry for her. She just lost her mother and didn't even know it.

"Whatever it is, don't worry because papa will keep the danger away." His speech faltered a bit as he breathed hard. Having his arc reactor taken out from him, felt like he was dying.

Tony had his arm slunged over Bucky's shoulder to help him keep his balance.

"Is... Is she..."

Bucky didn't need for Tony to finish the sentence to understand what he was asking. Bucky nodded his head slowly. Tony closed his eyes and took a sharp breath.

"How... How the hell did Ultron come back?"

"Someone got their hands on the contingency plan which I and Banner had supposedly destroyed."

"So, it means that..."

"Yes, Avengers Assemble."

The thing that united them was the thirst for revenge. Ultron killed the one whom they both loved- (y/n) Stark.
