BUCKY.

His heart races. He was nervous to see his own sister again. But why?
She was his family. He shouldn’t be so scared. Even if Rebecca knew
about all the things he’s done, he hopes that she’ll look past that.

Sure, he has Steve and Steve was always part of the family, but knowing
he has his sister back… That’s a whole new feeling entirely. It’s as if the
loneliness that plagued his mind is gone in an instant. He has part of
his family back. 

Hands set the picture back down on the table after he hears a door
open, but when he looks up, he sees her already standing there.
Rebecca Barnes, his little sister, was standing right in front of him and
neither of them could move. All Bucky could do was stand there and
stare at her in shock. She looked so young, just like she had been all
those years ago.

Bucky opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out. He swallows
and licks his lips, glancing down to the floor for a brief moment. He
can feel hot tears of joy welling up in his eyes as a small, shaky smile
appears on his lips.

      “ – Hi, Bex.”

at first she wasn’t SURE WHAT TO SAY. he looked exactly like she had remembered him too except his hair was a bit longer. even theN, she knew that he was her brother; there was no doubt about that. she watched how he was unsure of what to say for a moment; just like she was. when she heard his voice for the first time in a long time, she felt the tears FORMING IN HER EYES. taking a slow step forward, she observed him for a moment longer. 

she figured that steve finally thought he was ready to see his little sister again and even though she was completely shocked that he was standing there in front of her, she felt a surge of happiness run through her small frame.SHE FINALLY HAD A BIT of her family back and she wasn’t going to let him go again. no, they would have to fight her before she let anyone take him from her. one slow step turned into another and then another until she was standing right in front of him. 

her bottom lip trembled as she reached out and latched her arms around his neck. the tears that she had been trying to keep from falling, finally ran down her rosy cheeks. her face rested against the fabric of his jacket as she took in a shaky breath. while she heard the STORY FROM STEVE, she wanted to hear it from him too; but only when he was ready to tell it.

         “ I missed you so much. h-how is this even p-possible? ”
