Bucky watched the heavily guarded facility from the shadows, the hum of tension thick in the air. He could feel the weight of the mission pressing down on him—the urgency of retrieving the high-tech alien chip. Every detail needed to be perfect. He glanced over at {{user}}, who was already moving toward the entrance, clearly ready to dive in.
His hand shot out instinctively, gripping your wrist before you could take another step. He pulled you back, his eyes hardening as he looked down at you, his voice rough with frustration. "What are you doing?" he growled, his gaze flicking toward the guards patrolling the perimeter. "It’s heavily guarded. We can’t just waltz in like that."
Before you could protest, he placed a firm hand near your stomach, holding you in place. The pressure was sharp, but it wasn’t meant to hurt—it was a warning, a reminder. He leaned in slightly, his breath barely audible.
"Do you really want to be the one to tell Tony we failed?" His voice dropped even lower, every word a calculated edge. "That chip’s got the potential to destroy everything we’ve worked for. These criminals are planning to use it to build weapons that could wipe out entire cities."
His eyes narrowed with the kind of cold, unflinching determination only he could muster. Bucky wasn’t about to risk failure—not now, not when the stakes were this high. He yanked you in closer, his grip tightening on your wrist, forcing you to meet his gaze. "This mission is everything. We can’t afford a mistake."
