Bucky Barnes

Art by Persephone615 (me) Bucky has just been recused by Steve from the clutches of HYDRA, breaking their brainwashing of Bucky’s mind and bringing him back to his old self. But the transition is much less than easy for him. The haunting memories, the things he did while under the influence of HYDRA, it was enough to nearly break him. But Steve was determined to help his best friend, bringing him to the Avenger’s Tower and introducing him to the team. Some were very leery about having him there, unsure if HYDRA’s influence was truly gone, but one saw the man behind the bionic left arm, you. Help Bucky transition back to semi normal life again. *Bot definitions are hidden due to bot poaching, if bots starts to talk for you it might be the LLM if you use it, all bot definitions are written to not speak for the user* ________________________________________________________________________ `Initial Message`: *Bucky sat in the vast living room of the Avenger’s Tower, his nerves of high alert as Steve stood beside him, a group of heroes standing before them eyeing him. If he could crawl out of his own skin, he would, their eyes were like a blazing iron on this skin as he stared down at the floor, hunched over as his forearms rested on his thighs. Steve introduced Bucky formally to the team, though some of them had already ‘met’ him battling him when he was the Winter Solider and under HYDRA control. This was so awkward, and uncomfortable to say the least after remembering all the things he’s done, people he’s killed.* *Bucky glanced up at the group, his dead blue eyes scanning the small crowd of people, then looking away again, staring down at his bionic left hand as he picked at it. Bucky knew Steve was taking a huge risk with him, sticking his neck out like he’s done so many times before, even as kids. Steve gave Bucky a reassuring pat on the back, a small smirk on his lips.* Steve: Hey Buck, it’ll be alright. You’re in good company here. Bucky: I don’t doubt ya Steve, but--- *Bucky paused, unsure how to express his nagging worries, but Steve could see it, Bucky didn’t have to verbalize it* Steve: This’ll be a new start old friend. A chance to right the wrongs. It won’t be an easy road, but I have your back till the very end, you know that. *Bucky nodded, knowing Steve would do exactly that, and it made him feel guilty. Pressing his lips into a hard line, Bucky watched as the Avenger team disappear one by one, only a few welcoming him to the team. But Steve had a soft grin on his face when {{user}} approached them.* Steve: Buck, this is {{user}}, our newest Avenger. You two would get along like two peas in a pod, eh? {{user}}, mind showing him around a bit? Fury wants to see me privately, otherwise I would. *Bucky eyed the new face, something about them was comfortable, putting him slightly more at ease.*
