Hey will you be doing a part 2 for the forbidden love with neteyam. They need a happy ending😭😭

~Neteyam x Na’vi Reader

~Angst and fluff

~ proofread- yes

~Summary-Za’tara and Neteyam’s happy ending :)

Neytiri and Jake walked together. Something they often did when they had free time, “Neteyam’s been acting out lately,” Jake sighed at her words while nodding. “He told me he couldn't stay away from the girl,” Neytiri completely stopped walking before seeing the very boy they talked about, smiling at a girl.

Neytiri took big steps to break the pair up, but Jake stopped her, “wait let's listen first.” Neytiri sighed heavily before listening.

“I don't care how long it takes my love, I'll wait for you in every lifetime,” soft sniffles were heard before you spoke up, “I'm trying my best for them to like me but it doesn't seem to work.” you loved Neteyam with all your heart and if that meant completely getting rid of old habits you'd do it.

You stopped wandering off, you always listened, and you paid extra attention when someone spoke to you. Yet, everyone still believed you were no match for Neteyam. “I'll try harder my love!” you showed the boy who was in front of you a smile, while he wiped your tears away.

“You are already enough my tara, they will come around” Jake watched the scene in front of him, Neteyam had his father hardhead and would do anything to make sure you two ended together.

Neytiri’s eyes bore into you both, she was shocked to see the way you both were so soft to each other’s touch. The way your eyes looked into his as if it was the first time you'd seen them. His hands played with your braids while his eyes showed nothing but love.

“He truly loves this girl, doesn't he?” Neytiri said looking back at Jake, “I guess he does.” the two made their way back home waiting for the return of Neteyam and you.

Neteyam and you stayed out all day, talking about the future, how many kids you want, and random things. He wished everyone saw you the way he did, how you may be a little different from the rest but that is what made you perfect, you made him perfect. How you always cared even if you didn't show it. The way your eyes told a story every time he saw them, “we must head back,” you got up helping him up, and walked back hand in hand.

Upon arrival, you saw your parents and his standing waiting for you, “this isn't good,” you gripped his hand tighter as you both walked forward.

Your mother was the first to speak up, “Za’tara what were you thinking? Running off the entire day, I had no clue what happened to you!” you stood there looking at Neteyam before speaking up, “I was with Neteyam.”

You weren't ashamed to be with Neteyam, he was your light and your heart. “Sir, my heart belongs to Za’tara,” Neteyam spoke to his parents but was shocked to see they had smiles on their faces.

“Neteyam, I trust your heart,” his mother came closer wrapping the both of you in her arms, “but that doesn't mean what you did today was not foolish,” she said before hitting the back of his head lightly.

“I love him, and he loves me why can't we be together?” your eyes scanned both pairs of parents, Neytiri let go of you both before looking at you, “I give you my blessing, that means you must show us all you are capable of leading beside him.”

A smile covered Neteyam’s face, “she is more than capable,” you nodded your head before you smiled at your parents, “thank you!” you said as your mother walked closer to you before signaling it was time to leave.

“I'll see you first thing in the morning, my tara,” he placed your foreheads together and kissed it, “I love you, Neteyam.” You hugged him before leaving with your parents.

“You truly love this girl, son?” Jake asked the grinning boy, “with my whole heart.”

*****

Taking Comfort (In Your Arms) - Chapter 4

June 24, 2025 1400 hours

Something big was going to happen, the energy on base indicated that but what it was, no one knew. Rumors were abundant but it was just rumors. Addie felt it as she worked away from the tower, squadron leaders being herded into one of the two Colonel’s offices one after another that afternoon. She heaved a sigh of relief when neither Bucky nor Buck made an appearance.

Finally, her father came out of his office, pausing at Addie’s desk. “Are you free for a bit? I need you to take these notes to a couple of the men - Turner, Veal, Bucky, and Buck. Are you able to track them down and get them these notes?”

“I’m sure these missives can wait a bit longer to be sent.” She smirked, showing him a pile of papers. Taking them off her hands, he rapidly flipped through them, shaking his head, giving her a vexed look. “Addie, these were supposed to be sent earlier this morning.”

She gave her father an irritated look, rolling her eyes. “I had three piles of papers awaiting for me this morning - these, the emergency notices to the squadron leaders and the supply orders for the infirmary. Of those, these seemed to be the least urgent. I apologize that these notices didn’t get sent earlier.”

“Josie, can you get these sent out for Addie?” Her father turned and looked at her best friend who was smirking, before passing the missives to her. “Sure Colonel.”

Turning back to his daughter, he handed her the folded notes and a set of jeep keys. “Deliver these quickly, please.”

Saluting her father, she accepted the four folded notes. Addie slipped on her aviators as she made her way out of the tower, skipping down the stairs, jumping into the nearest jeep. Driving down the path, wind whipping her hair, she tried to figure out where she’d find all four of the Majors. The mess would be empty by now due to the hour so she headed to the barracks. Pulling the jeep up to Bucky’s barrack, she killed the engine, trying to figure out how she’d let him know she was there.

Getting out of the jeep, she leaned against it, enjoying the sunshine and light breeze knowing someone would eventually come by and she could ask them. Twenty minutes later she spotted Meatball coming over to her, jumping and whining for attention. Crouching down, she petted him, giving him a few pats, glad she had worn pants today. “Captain, it’s good to see you out of the office on a day like this.”

Looking up and over her aviators, she grinned seeing DeMarco come closer to her. “Captain DeMarco, they finally let me out of the chicken coop.”

“Not that I don’t love seeing you out in the wild, what are you doing here?” He asked, chuckling as Meatball came and sat at his feet.

Standing to her full height, Addie smiled. “Looking for Turner, Veal, Bucky, or Buck and since I’m not allowed in the barracks, I was hoping one of you boys would point me in the right direction.”

“Veal and Turner are in the classroom with the navigators. Buck and Bucky should be inside - give me a moment.” He said, speedily ducking into the barrack. It wasn’t a moment later she heard. “Yo lover boy your girl’s waiting outside for you.”

She was still chuckling when Bucky made his way outside, quickly pulling her up into his arms with a laugh. He gave her a quick hug and a kiss to the side of her head, putting her feet back on the ground. “Well, this is a welcome surprise.”

“I’ve come to deliver missives to you and Buck and I can’t dillydally.” She gave him a look, letting him know who’s directive that was, standing on her tiptoes to press a quick kiss to his lips. “Can you get Buck for me?”

“That’s not what a guy wants to hear after he gets a kiss from his gal.” Bucky teased but obediently went and got his best friend.

She watched him leave, shamelessly loving the way his rear looked in his pants, not that he would ever know. She casually leaned against the jeep, crossing one ankle over the other, attempting to settle her racing heart. Bucky returned with Buck on his heels. “Bucky mentioned you have something for us.”

She handed them the folded notes with their names on it. She held her breath as she watched them read the note, glance at one another before looking at her. Buck held up the note between two fingers, arching an eyebrow in curiosity. “Know anything about this?”

Shaking her head, sighing she looked between the two of them. “Tower has been a fury of activity since this morning but just like you, I’m kept in the dark and know nothing but I have a feeling something big is happening.”

“We’ve been called to a meeting at 1600.” Bucky said, folding the note back up.

“That makes sense - I have two more notes to deliver.” She saluted them, getting back into the jeep. “I’ll see you boys later.”

Buck laughed while Bucky pulled her in for a quick kiss before watching her drive away. Addie tracked down Tucker and Veal, in the classroom Nissian hut, just as DeMarco said they would be.

Before long, she was back up in the tower, head down working away. Just before 1600, her father and Huglin left, leaving Josie to raise an eyebrow in Addie’s direction. “I have no idea - the boys told me there’s a meeting at 1600 hours but what it’s concerning I have no idea. I’m guessing there’s a mission coming in the next couple of days.”

“I’m sure we’ll know soon enough.” Josie sighed, eyes widened with a mixture of fear and worry as Addie eyed her wearily. “What’s going on with you Josie? Something on your mind?”

Josie’s eyes widened in a way that clued Addie that something else was going on. “Spill, Josephine.”

“DeMarco asked me out.” She bit her lip, while watching her best friend.

Addie’s jaw dropped a bit. Sure she had been wrapped up with Bucky the last few days but how had she not seen DeMarco make a move on her best friend. “How do you feel about that?”

“I mean the man is gorgeous and Meatball is the best.” Josie gushed, a light blush on her cheeks.

Addie walked over and leaned against her desk. “There’s a but in there, Josie. What’s got you all in a tizzy?”

“What if …” Trailing off, her eyes slowly met Addie’s.

Addie shook her head, stopping that line of thought immediately. “You were the one that always told me don’t think about the what if’s. So that’s exactly what I’m telling you. Don’t think about it and just follow your heart. DeMarco is a good catch - I think you should tell him yes. You don’t have to go out a second time if you don’t want to but I do think you should go out on the first one.”

Addie tapped Josie’s desk, leaving her friend with her thoughts as she went back to her desk. Not wanting her mind to wander, she dove into missives that had been left that needed action taken on them, hoping the rest of the afternoon would pass quickly.

2000 hours

A note was waiting on her bunk after dinner requesting her to meet on the tarmac. Slipping on her sweater she made her way out of the barracks. She saw him standing near a fort, looking up at it lost in thought.

Siding up to him, she just stood there, not wanting to scare him. He let out a gush of air, not turning to her as he said, “The boys’ first mission is tomorrow - Bremen.”

“Shit.” Was all that she could say. She knew it was coming - it was only a matter of time before they’d be sent up. Addie for the first time in a long time was at a loss of what to say. She knew she couldn’t say a damn thing that would help Bucky prepare for tomorrow. All she could do was be there for him.

Slipping her hand in his, she gave it a squeeze, while wrapping an arm around his back. He looked down at her, wiping his face with his other hand, sighing loudly, worry clearly written all over his face. “What do I tell him?”

“You give him a reason to make it home. Don’t tell him about what it’s like, that’ll just scare him but you give him a damn good reason to make it home alive.” She looked up at him, squeezing his hand. “We knew this day would be coming. Doesn’t make it any easier.”

Sighing, he tilted his head back, hoping to find the right answer written on the underbelly of the fort. “You’re right.”

“I haven’t been in combat, only you have. You’ve seen it with your two eyes. Somehow you’ll find the words tomorrow before he goes up.” Addie whispered. “What are you planning on doing while you wait for them to return?”

Shrugging, Bucky looked out across the tarmac with narrowed eyes. “Not sure, haven’t thought that far ahead. What usually happens when we’re up?”

“Everyone attempts to get something done - paperwork, usually but most everyone is preoccupied by worrying about who won’t return.” She confided in him, squeezing his hand to keep him present with her instead of letting his mind wander. “Come see me tomorrow and I’ll give you some of my old ATA files to read - won’t completely take your mind off of what’s going on but it’ll give you something to do.”

Bucky pulled his attention away from the tarmac, looking at the gorgeous girl that stood beside him. “Your old ATA files?”

“Shhh . . . I took some with me when I left. No one is going to miss them but figured someday I’d look back on that time with nothing but fondness, and not anger.” She smirked. “Buck told me you were proud of me - thought you might want to know what your girl did before she got kicked out of the service.”

Bucky nodded. “I’ll be by your desk once everything settles down tomorrow morning.”

All she could do was nod, picking up that he clearly wasn’t in the mood to talk. “Want me to leave you alone?”

“That is the absolute last thing I want you to do.” He looked apologetic at her. “Sorry I’m not in the mood to talk.”

Tugging on his hand, she got him moving. “No apology needed. Let’s just walk - you’ve got a lot on your mind and need to sort through it.”

As they passed by “Wild Cargo”, she smiled. “I buzzed the tower in a B-17 called “Sweater Jean”. She was the B-17 I flew from London to Ridgewell, which is in Essex, the base I was stationed at. Before I left, I had finally passed my last evaluation, which gave me the certificate to fly the big girls. As tradition, whenever you first fly a new class of planes, you have to buzz the tower and I did it at my home base. The brass didn’t even yell at me since I was the first of the ATAs stationed there to fly the Class 5’s.”

“The first?” Bucky asked, eyes widened slightly, impressed by the girl that still managed to take his breath away. How did he get so lucky to call Captain Adelaide Baker his? He still didn’t understand and often had a hard time believing it.

“I was the first but that didn’t last long. My friends Anna and Lydia soon joined me in the Class 5’s.” She smirked. “The days of flying the Class 5’s were long - usually there wasn’t a direct transport back to base so those were the days that I mixed planes with trains or cars.”

Bucky squeezed her hand. “Were you often gone longer than a day?”

“Not usually but there was one ferry that I didn’t get back to base until 4 days after I left.” She smiled, thinking back on that long day, wistfully. “That one I was all over England - started in Norfolk, went to Lincolnshire, then London and ended up in West Sussex. Had to take two trains back to Essex. I was back for 12 hours before I ferried a Spitfire back to London and the circus started all over again.”

“You didn’t fly across the channel did you?” Bucky questioned, voice clearing a bit as her story distracted him.

“No. It was very regulated on where I could or couldn’t go. I flew all over England but never into combat territory.” She bit her lip. “It used to frustrate me that they kept us so contained but I’d give anything to be back up flying.”

“My next leave, I’ll take you flying.” He promised, giving her a hopeful look. “Or you can take me for a ride in your Tiger Moth.”

Squeezing his hand, she grinned. “Deal but how about you take me dancing first, hotshot? We’re going to make it through this Bucky.”

“Yes to the dancing; let’s make it through tomorrow first. You’re right. I should head back to the barracks, early night and all.” His voice was quiet, her eyes finding his. “Are you ready to head back?”

Shaking her head, she met his eyes. “I’ll head back up with you.”

Silence followed them as they made their way back up to the huts. Pulling Bucky into her arms, leaning up to place a gentle kiss on his lips, her hand on his cheek forcing him to meet her eyes. “I know you’re going to be worried tonight but try to get some sleep. Come see me after everything tomorrow.”

“I’ll be there. Thank you, Addie.” He said sincerely, stealing another kiss before he slipped into the barracks.

Sighing, she ran her hands through her hair. She was dreading tomorrow and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do but be there for Bucky. Not a word of comfort would help the situation. She just wished she could be as strong as he had been every day since she met him.

As she turned to head back to her hut, she heard her name being called. Looking over her shoulder, she smiled seeing DeMarco, Buck and Meatball making their way towards her. “Gents, Meatball.”

“Where’s your sidekick?” DeMarco joked while she squatted down and petted the dog, lapping up the attention.

Motioning to the hut, she smiled. “Inside, I just dropped him off.”

“I wanted to check with you to see if you’re able to keep an eye on Meatball tomorrow?” DeMarco questioned, giving her a pleading look.

Laughing at his face, Addie instantly agreed. “Of course - I was going to offer but you beat me to the punch. He can hang out in the office with me and Josie.”

The blush instantly crossed his cheeks at the mention of her best friend. Keeping that in her back pocket, she would have to get an update from Josie on how that went. “Thank you Addie. I appreciate it.”

“I’ll grab him after breakfast from you.” She promised, as he wished her and Buck good night before heading inside.

Buck eyed her as the door shut before turning his attention to Addie, voice quiet to keep the secret between them. “Know anything about the blush that crept up his face when you mentioned Josie?”

“Potentially, remains to be seen.” She smirked. “Josie is my best friend and it seems your captain is sweet on her. More to come.”

Buck nodded, watching the sun start its descent. “How’s Bucky?”

“You picked up on his quietness?” Addie turned, looking at him with curiosity in her eyes.

He smiled. “He thinks he’s a great actor but I’ve known something was up since we got out of that meeting earlier today. Did he talk with you?”

“We walked the tarmac earlier. I talked and he listened.” She weakly smiled. “He’s worried Buck - I’m not going to lie and say he’s fine, but he’s worried. Just promise me you’ll do everything you can to come back.”

Buck was silent, taking her words in. John Egan loved big and when you were in his inner circle, you were in. It had been a long time since Buck had someone new to worry about him. Sure, he had Marge and Buck but looks like he had another person in his corner. “I promise Addie, I’ll do everything I can to come home to him, you and Marge.”

“Marge? Got a girl back home, Gale Cleven?” She smiled, eyes widening at the little tidbit.

Nodding, his smile and eyes brightened. “I do. I’ll have to tell you all about her.”

“I look forward to that.” She gave him a look. “And I’ll tell you about my ATA time.”

He gave her a salute. “Sounds like a plan Addie.”

Without another thought, she pulled him in for a hug, giving him a tight squeeze. “Be safe, Gale.”

Hugging her back, he promised he would and that he would tease her tomorrow afternoon for worrying once they got back. She laughed at that, fully intending to hold him to that promise. With a quiet good night, he left her there, ducking into the hut. Wiping the unshed tears away, she shook her head before walking back to her barracks. Too many tears had been shed already and she was biting her lip to keep more from falling.

The hut was quiet as she got ready for bed. She wrote in her journal while the hut grew quiet around her. With a long sigh, she turned off her light, settling in knowing she would be getting very little sleep that night.

0400 hours

She had been tossing and turning for the last hour. She heard the jeeps roar to life as they moved around the base, heading to go wake up the pilots that were flying today.

Quietly getting out of bed, she got dressed hastily. Slipping on her shoes and her coat, she closed the door to the hut, shivering from the bitter coldness of the morning.

“Addie?” A voice called as she whirled around, not expecting anyone she’d know to be up so early. She smiled weakly seeing her father walk towards her, a mug of coffee in his hand. “What are you doing out here so early?”

“Couldn’t sleep.” She admitted, tugging her coat tighter around her attempting to ward off the chill.

“The boys are about to go into the briefing.” Her eyes widened. “If you stand in the back, you can get a glimpse of what will happen today and maybe that’ll calm you down?”

She couldn’t speak. Merely nodding, she followed her father to the hut, going in and immediately turning to the right, heading to the very back. One of the Red Cross girls gave her a mug of coffee, Addie smiled thankfully at her before she moved along.

She caught sight of Bucky and Buck walking in behind Huglin, taking their seats up front. “The target for today is Bremen.”

Taking a deep breath, Addie steadied herself listening to Huglin go into the details and the importance of the mission. “The 350th will be in high position with Major Cleven as lead pilot.”

Murmuring a ‘shit’ under her breath, she knew that wouldn’t calm Bucky down in the least. She knew and trusted Buck to be just as he’d been since she met him, cool and calm under pressure.

With the briefing wrapping up, she promptly slipped out, waiting by the door to meet Meatball and DeMarco. Just as she saw him, he called out to her. “Addie!”

She watched him let go of Meatball’s lead as he bounded over to her, excitedly jumping on her to get attention. “Morning Meatball, Captain.” Leaning over, she carded her hand through the fluffy fur, giving Meatball plenty of pats.

“Morning Addie. Thanks for watching him.” DeMarco wandered over with a bright smile on his face. He patted his thigh, calling to Meatball, petting the fluffy dog, crouching down and giving him a hug, murmuring sweet nothings to the puppy.

She gave him a moment, grinning watching the interaction. “Anytime. Benny, be safe out there today. And I’ll see you all later on today.”

Standing, he saluted her with a smirk. “See you later Addie. Don’t be too bored without us.”

She nodded, saluting him, taking Meatball’s lead in her hand, watching as DeMarco caught up with his crew, slapping some on the backs in greeting. Scanning the area, her eyes caught Buck and Bucky talking and hesitated, knowing it was good for them both to have that moment. Not wanting to linger, she dragged Meatball away, heading towards the tower.

Walking up the tower steps, she ducked inside, avoiding everyone who was already on the tower’s platform waiting for the green light. Unclipping Meatball’s lead, he settled at her feet while she stared blankly at her desk. This was the first mission she knew someone specifically in the line up. The first mission that potentially had someone she called a friend that wasn’t coming home.

Willing herself not to go down that path and to start crying, she looked up at the ceiling and forced herself to think of something else. Cherished family memories, her times in a plane, anything to not start crying in that moment.

The door slammed, catching her attention as she whirled around. Sighing, she was happy for a moment to see Josie standing, until she realized Josie had mixed emotions on her face. “You okay?”

“Trying to be.” Addie admitted. Raising an eyebrow, Addie tried to get a read on Josie. “You?”

Putting down her purse, she came over to Addie’s desk and leaned against it. “Ran into DeMarco on my way here.” Meatball, hearing his owner's name, came to nuzzle Josie’s hand, offering the girl some comfort.

“And?” Addie perked up a bit. “I saw him about 20 minutes ago when I got Meatball.”

Josie smiled, weakly. “I must’ve just missed you. We talked, I gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him I’d love to go on a date with him.”

Squealing, Addie jumped up and pulled her best friend into a hug as she laughed excitedly, accidentally pushing Meatball away. He went to lay in the corner away from the temporary excitement with a huff. “Ahh I’m so excited you told him yes. What did he say?”

“I think I startled him.” She grinned, stepping away from Addie’s desk. “He didn’t say much before Bucky yelled at him to get in the truck. By the way, you should have a word with your Major about his potty mouth.” Addie raised an eyebrow at that. “It’s not very gentlemanly.”

Snorting, Addie shook her head. “That’ll go over as well as a lead balloon.”

“He promised me he’d come back and that he’d see me later today.” Josie sighed. “I don’t know how you’re so calm right now. I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest and they haven’t even left yet.”

Addie exhaled, pulling Josie into a hug. “I don’t have any advice. I didn’t know Bucky went up the previous times until he was already in the air and we weren’t together during those times. I’m just trying to stay busy and keep my mind off of today - there’s nothing I can say to you or Bucky that’ll help today but I’m here if you need anything.”

“Are you going out there to watch?” Josie quietly asked, stepping back.

Shaking her head, Addie frowned. “No, not today. But you can if you want.”

“No I don’t want that ….” She trailed off, shaking her head. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself, attempting to hyping herself up to face the day.

The next hour passed slowly as the girls attempted to treat it just like a normal day. Addie reviewed supply requests from around the base while Josie attempted to schedule several meetings with Colonels from other bases.

Looking up from the paperwork, she saw Bucky hand on the rails with his head hanging. She saw him exhale deeply, averting her attention, not wanting to be caught looking at him.

Grabbing a stack of papers, she pushed away from the desk, went to the filing cabinets and started filing just so she was up, moving and keeping her mind occupied. The door opening caught her attention, willing herself to focus on the task instead of looking to see who it was. “Ladies.”

Bucky had made his way inside, standing near the door with a peculiar look on his face. She couldn’t read the expression on his face and that instantly put her on edge. She usually could read him and not being able to left her uneasy. He looked like he was going to lose it at any moment. Ignoring the scattered papers, she crossed the room, pulling him into her arms, protocol be damned at this moment. She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulder, fingers playing with the wisps of hair on his neck while his arms wrapped around her waist. He buried his head in the juncture between her neck and shoulders and exhaled loudly. As they stood there, the tension in his shoulders eased a bit and she could feel him relax slightly as she ran her fingers through his hair. “I got you.”

They stood in the embrace for minutes, hours. Addie lost track of time until Bucky pulled back, swiping at his face, exhaling loudly. “Thank you.”

“I’m not going to ask you anything but go sit in my chair and find the green folder. That’s what I promised you.” She whispered, giving him a nudge towards her desk. Walking over to the small table in the corner, she poured coffee into a mug before setting it on the desk, within his reach.

Without another word, she went back to the cabinet, continuing to file the papers. She caught Josie’s eye and shook her head, knowing there was nothing either of them could say.

For the next hour, the only noise was the flipping of paper from Bucky, opening another cabinet from Addie and the methodically clicking of keys from Josie as she typed. Each of them were lost in their own thoughts as the hour slowly passed by.

Josie pushed up from her desk, slapped her hand to her thigh and softly called for Meatball. “I can’t sit here another minute. I’m taking him out for a long walk and some fresh air.”

Nodding, Addie watched them leave before looking over at Bucky who had his lip pulled between his teeth. Finishing up the last of the filing, she took a seat in the chair in front of her desk and watched him as he read. The slight widening of his eyes as he took in her exploits or the grin that tugged at his lips as he read a comment or addition to the report. A snort escaped his lips as he flipped a page, making her file that for later so he could tell her what caused him to make the noise.

It was another twenty minutes before he looked up to see her sitting there. “Bluebird, you’re lucky you didn’t get demoted earlier than February.”

“I wasn’t that bad.” She scoffed, raising an eyebrow in a challenge.

Bucky threw his head back and laughed. “You barrel rolled a Supermarine Spitfire, Addie. That should have gotten you thrown out and sent back home, which would have been absolutely devastating for me. How did you not get your ass handed to you?”

“Pure luck I’m guessing.” She shrugged. “Do you see why I didn’t fly them long before I got the big birds? Couldn’t do a barrel roll in a fort.”

Chuckling, Bucky held up the folder. “Thank you for sharing this with me. Helped to know what you are capable of doing. I’d be honored to fly with you on any mission, Captain.”

“Not anytime soon, I’m afraid.” Frowning, she shrugged.

Bucky snorted, leaning back in her chair, stretching out his long legs. “It’s a damn shame they’ve grounded you Captain.”

She hummed in approval, looking at his almost relaxed face. “When are the boys supposed to be back?”

“Not until after lunch. How is it only 0900?” He groaned, throwing his head back, exhaling loudly. “Sorry Bluebird but I don’t know how you do this every single time.”

“To be fair, this is the first one I specially know people up there.” She gave him a pointed look. “I didn’t know you were up there until just before you touched back down. Someone failed to tell me that.”

He had the decency to look abash, giving her a wide grin. “Didn’t want you to be worried, Bluebird.”

“And you didn’t think I was worried when I heard the 389th took you up?” She shook her head, disbelief in her eyes, giving him a look. “John Egan, you had already charmed me at that point. You didn’t think I cared for you?”

He shrugged, sitting up in her chair. “I had hoped that you liked me but you were standoffish until I got to know you in the fort that night. After that night, I knew I had a chance with you and knew I couldn’t blow it.”

“You’ve been alright.” She teased, causing him to pop up from the chair and pulling her into his embrace with a squeal. His fingers found purchase on her sides, her eyes widened in horror. “Bucky, John no.”

He didn’t heed her warning as his fingers wiggled, causing her to shriek and laugh. Attempting to push away from him, she failed, as he kept one arm wrapped around her. “I take back what I said. You’ve been more than alright. A true gentleman and a great boyfriend.”

“You’re ticklish.” He stated the obvious, a wicked grin crossing his lips. “Filing that information for later. Though I half expected Colonel Baker to make an appearance.”

Waving a dismissive hand, Addie shook her head. “He’s in Manchester for the day at some brass meeting. I wasn’t really paying attention when he told me. You and Bowman are in charge.”

“Let’s just hope Bowman stays in the command center for the rest of the day.” Bucky wickedly grinned.

Smirking, Addie knew that was a long shot. “You know he’ll be up here as the boys are supposed to be back.”

“Then I guess we’re going to get all nervous energy out before he comes up.” Bucky pulled her flush against his chest, leaning down and capturing her lips in a steamy kiss.

Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she stood on her tiptoes, leaning up to kiss him again. He settled against her desk, making it easier for her to kiss him in the new position. Running her fingers through the curls at the nap of his neck, he groaned in the kiss, deeping it slightly. Sighing, she broke away, looking into his baby blues. “Damn Bucky.”

“You took the words from my mouth.” He sighed, leaning up to kiss her again.

1300 hours

“Twelve . . . thirteen . . . fourteen . . . fifteen.” Her and Meatball stood in the tower’s shadow, counting the planes as they touched down. She didn’t know which crews were in which planes but seeing them touchdown slightly calmed her racing heart.

Hearing footfalls on the stairs, she turned, watching Bucky grin, stepping onto the grass. “Buck made it back. I’m heading out there to go meet him, take him to interrogation. Want to come?”

Shaking her head, she exhaled slowly at those words. “No, you should go see him. I’ll see him in a bit but thank you for telling me. Any word on the others?”

“Blakely and DeMarco were others I heard call through.” Bucky grinned. “I’ve got to get out there but see you later?”

Emotional, Addie threw her arms around Bucky’s shoulders, sniffling. He put a hand on her chin, tilting it up, placing a soft kiss on her lips. “You sure you don’t want to lay eyes on him yourself?”

“There’ll be plenty of time for that. He’s probably in shock and needs to see you first. I’ll see him at dinner and the club.” She grinned, tension leaving her shoulders at the happy return. “I’ll walk over to the interrogation hut, gotta give Meatball back to DeMarco.”

Kissing her again, gave Meatball a few pats before heading to the Jeep to head to the tarmac. She watched him leave, fingers touching her lips at the tingling his kisses left. Chuckling to herself, still trying to wrap her head around the enigma Bucky Egan was and how he was hers.

Picking up Meatball’s lead, they started walking towards the interrogation hut. She steadied herself for the haunted looks she knew the men would have as they entered. Looking out over the tarmac, she watched the crews inspect each of the B-17s, making notes of what needed to be repaired and which forts needed to be sent out for further repairs than the base could handle. Life continued on, even with the black clouds hanging over their heads.

She pulled herself out of the downhearted mood nearing the hut. Plastering a half smile on her face, she nodded at Tatty as she handed her a mug of coffee. “You doing alright?”

“Glad they made it back.” She took a sip of coffee, hissing when it hit the roof of her mouth. Tatty nodded, someone calling her name. Tatty gave her a small smile, touching her arm, making her way to the hut.

Tugging on Meatball’s lead, she went to lean on a jeep, waiting for the boys to appear. She knew they would be coming out of the side door. Settling in, she shook her head, wishing the awful thoughts she had most of the morning would go away. She knew it wouldn’t be the last time she’d see the men go up but happy for the moment that they came home.

“Addie!” The yell came, starling her, dropping Meatball’s lead, watching the puppy run happily to his owner. DeMarco dropped to the ground to catch the puppy as he barked and licked his owner.

Tears sprung to her eyes at the reunion, making her way over to DeMarco, an excited grin plastered on his face. “Welcome back Captain.”

“Thank you! And thank you for watching him. I’m guessing he was good?” Benny looked up at her.

Smirking, she gave him a look. “He hung out with Josie most of the time.”

“That’s good that he was able to keep you both company.” Benny stood, giving Addie a mixed look of confusion and elation.

Addie took a step closer to him, a serious look on her face. “I know you asked Josie out - do not break my best friend’s heart, Benny. You break her heart, I kick your ass.”

DeMarco had the decency to look a little bit scared of her, taking her words to heart. Immediately, schooling his features, he returned to the cool suave she had always known from him. A grin tugged on his lips. “She told you about that?”

“There’s very little that goes on within this base that I don’t know about, Benny. Just remember that and make sure your men know that as well.” She raised an eyebrow. “Josie is my best girl and she’s been hurt in the past. Don’t hurt her, Benny, I’m begging you.”

Benny nodded, meeting her eyes. “I promise, I won’t hurt her. She’s in charge, wherever this might go.”

“Good man.” She patted his shoulder. “Have you seen either of the Bucks?”

DeMarco chuckled, loving how promptly she changed the subject. “They were still in interrogation when I left but they should be wrapping up. You’ll be at the club later?”

“I think that’s the plan.” She nodded. “Glad you’re back Benny.”

Watching him walk off, she leaned against the jeep throwing her head back, soaking in the sunshine, taking a moment to herself. Looking at her watch, she sighed seeing that it was only 0139. “Adelaide Baker!”

Tilting her head, she squinted from behind the aviators to see who fully named her. Her face broke into a bright grin seeing the two Bucks walking towards her. Pushing off the jeep, she rushed towards Buck, throwing her arms around him. “Welcome back, Buck!”

He laughed, returning the hug, picking her up, swinging her around as they both laughed. Once her feet were back on the ground, she slapped his arm with a grin. “All that worrying for nothing, Addie.”

“I have plenty to worry about, Buck, as did your best friend here.” She said, pointing to Bucky, who watched the two of them with a fond smile on his face. Bucky nodded agreeing with his girl.

Buck looked between the two of them with a smirk. “It’s good to have feet on the ground.”

Addie finally relaxed, the last of the tension leaving her shoulders. Her boys were back, safe and sound. “Now what?”

“Lunch, nap, then club later.” Buck announced, already knowing what the rest of the day entailed.

Bucky look between Buck and Addie. “Addie, can you join us for lunch?”

“Lead the way gents.” She laced her hands with Bucky, giving Buck a look. “If you need to talk, you know where to find me.”

“Appreciate it, Addie.” He nodded, starting to walk to the mess hut.

Happily, she squeezed Bucky’s hand. She didn’t care what happened the rest of the day, in that moment she was content and everything was alright for the moment.

6300 words later we’ve reached the end of chapter 4. What did you think? Feedback is always appreciated!!

the thing about will is that looking into his eyes is like looking into a mirror. you could have been like me, if your parents were a little less warm, a little less genuine, a little less sincere. i'm glad that your parents are nothing like mine.

and yeah, sure, the commander may have an ego the size of a giant robot inside and out of the suit, but steve stronghold tries. he tries so damn hard. all the time. and sometimes it doesn't work out, doesn't work the way he intended it to. but it takes an extraordinary amount of strength to be so gentle in the face of the most devastating loss.

the one thing he couldn't punch his way out of.

because no one's ever going to do it like josie. josie stronghold-demarco who was as fierce as she was kind. in will, she sees echos of the woman who was more of a mother to her than her own mother.

(of course mister boy carried a torch for her for years; why wouldn't he? of course farzana and jawaharel spoke highly of her. why wouldn't they?)

grief is grief is grief is grief and she can't carry this for him the way she so desperately wants to. but she can help him shoulder it. just a little bit.

she and the other members of the stronghold seven.

after all, is that not what friends are for?

"hey, will, wait up," she says as she catches up with him. "do you wanna go for a flight? i think i'm getting better at the ice rocket thing."

I rewatched Sky High, because reasons. Then I felt compelled to dig out the shooting script and re-read it and holy shit I totally forgot how much a) the original draft kinda sorta ‘ships Layla and Warren a lot more than the final movie does and b) the whole bit with Magenta and Zach being all disaffected youth at the dance about how sickeningly sweet everything is and then deciding to dance originally was Magenta and Warren at the end of the movie, not Zach before the Strongholds arrive and mayhem ensues. No mention of the freeze girl at all.

Also the original script has ‘Bob’ Stronghold being way more of a jerk, and doesn’t include Mr Boy’s secret crush on Josie, but it DOES include Josie’s maiden name (DeMarco), Mr Boy’s real name (Jonathan Griswald) and a hint of his powers (he wanted the superhero name Quicksilver, implying something speed-related), Lash and Speed’s names (Connor Andrews and Sanford Anapolsky), and spells ‘Baron’ correctly, and Sue’s last name as ‘Tenney’.

Also, despite the movie’s website labelling Warren a freshman, there’s no indication at all that he’s an incoming freshman, so my headcanon that he’s actually a sophomore during the first movie remains intact.

Oh, and the sequel was going to be called Save U and follow the kids to university.

Lastly, I capped all the shots of pages from the 1978 yearbook and Steven Strait’s pics as Baron Battle never stop being hilarious to me.

What was the wedding like? I bet Curt was Bucky's best man? Was the bachelor party messy? Meatball was ring bearer??? LOL

#young vets au

first of all s/o to @swifty-fox who came up with a good chunk of these. i've been so focused on poor bucky's mental breakdown that quite honestly a part of the "they get married on paper and say they'll have a wedding...eventually" was me putting off figuring out that lore LOL. but here thee go.

they start planning it after bucky is out of the hospital and doing better. gale brings it up first- and bucky is so 🥺. obviously gale never asked for a divorce but, he still feels a little insecure about things/how much he put him through. so knowing gale *does* still want to marry him good and proper makes him a lil emotional. sweet boy.

they try to surprise each other with engagement rings and end up clashing with each others surprises bahaha. me thinks gale gets bucky a celtic eternity knot ring. bucky gets gale something like this.

big crowds/travel is still a bit of a rough spot for bucky, so it's in wyoming. in my mind they have a hugeee backyard. so cutesie homey backyard wedding it is.

curt is 1000% bucky's best man. that's his best friend and curt (this hasn't really been explored a great deal yet but it will be) quite frankly did about as much for him during his big ol breakdown spiral as gale did.

hmm idk who gale's is. choose your own adventure, its whoever you want it to be.

wearing their air force dress uniforms comes up briefly but bucky hates it so it’s tabled. gale asks the guys not to wear theirs either.

all the guys come into town, of course they do. they're *so excited* not just because it's their buddies getting married but bc this is the first time all of them except for curt and kenny have seen bucky in person since his attempt. so seeing him so happy and doing better makes them happy.

demarco does indeed bring meatball.

i think since they essentially share all the same friends they have a joint pre-party a few days before. maybe the first night everyone is in town. a reunion party of sorts.

i need to do a hc list explaining all the curt/kenny lore as it exists in my head but this is maybeee the first time everyone is seeing the two of them since they aren't (badly) trying to keep that they're involved on the downlow. which everyone gets a kick out of just as much as they do bucky and gale.

both of them cry during their vows.

and, my favorite thing @swifty-fox and iame up with last night:

i know its hinted at in a few of the phone povs about bucky wanting to get sober but in my mind that's closer to when they have josie. so when they get married there is alcohol abound (lol). and gale, because hey it's his fucking wedding after all- partakes this time.

he sees bucky playing with croz's kids in the yard and gets so emotional because he just loves him so much, wants that with him and now they *can* have that together even after everything they've been though.

curt sees this and is like awww, i see that look buck! and sweet drunk gale just starts blabbering about how he's gonna put babies in him- he's gonna figure it out, JSTOR hasn't failed him yet.

to demarco, who is running around with his camera, this is the best moment of his life.

asks gale to run that by him one more time with the camera in his face.

"i said, you see my husband over there?" gale says seriously into the camera, holding himself up on curt with one arm around his waist and gesturing to where bucky is deep in drunk conversation with kenny "'m gonna figure out how to put babies in him. JSTOR hasn't- hasn't failed me yet. gonna figure that shit out and we're gonna have more kids than- than croz n' jean."

THE BIG CANON MASTERPOST* [note: if you write any of the characters mentioned, i just want to reiterate that you do not have to comply with anything written below, this is just for fun and because i love world building*] (written: 17-01-2022 / version 1: 16-02-2022 / version 2: 17-12-2023)

khione hima goossens (iman vellani) has lived in maxville her entire life. as have her parents. though her maternal grandparents and their ancestors came from surinam, india and pakistan. khione grew up in the richer part of town, in the same neighborhood as gwen grayson, and spends her time at the maxville ice arena and ice slash snow sculpting.

her dad, leander (neil jackson) is a cryokinetic. he used to be known as the superhero permafrost but has since gone inactive to focus on his acting career. he's been tapped for the 'darkstar' franchise, playing the titular character.

her mom, saraswati, who's more commonly known as sara as per her insistence (jameela jamil) has hydrokinesis abilities and is a retired superhero turned tv personality, being known for the fabulous lives of superhero wives. and, yes, khione has been on the show too.

khione has inherited both her dad's cryokinesis and her mom's hydrokinesis, which means she's got a big family legacy to live up to. much like will stronghold, khione is a she's a third gen.

leander and saraswati never should have been allowed to name their only daughter. aside from huge expectations for their daughter, a tendency to manage her life, a huge dose of haughtiness, as well as loftiness and a remarkable hatred for pyrokinetics, whom they deem “beneath them”, leander and saraswati are a normal couple.

well, as normal as two (retired) supers can be.

especially if one of those two has a secret.

khione may be an only child, but saraswati has another child out there: zach braun-springer (agastya nanda) who possesses photokinesis and an immunity towards the cold that people thought was just sheer dumb luck on his part.

this secret comes to light during zach's freshman year and khione’s sophomore year at sky high, a few months after royal pain’s rampages have largely been forgotten. the super community can change like the wind, at the drop of a hat, or a coin. it goes from loving to vicious. from soft to sharp and back again. it ruptures the marriage of khione’s parents (though they stay together instead of divorcing), and does the same to the marriage of zach’s parents as well. khione tries to keep her head above water by focusing on her classes and her friends.

sometime during her senior year at sky high, nurse spex passes away, rendering her grandson valerian - laser eyes kid - effectively an orphan. his parents died on the job and nurse spex, his grandmother, took him in. in her opinion, she’s raised the finest boy in maxville. no one had the heart to tell her that her grandson was behaving terribly. after nurse spex’s funeral, laser eyes kid takes out his grief on everyone around him, khione included. but he finds a home with mr and mrs timmerman, who end up fostering him alongside jolene hamilton (and they adopt both of them down the line).

khione manages to make it to graduation. her parents don’t show up as she walks the stage because they’re both in europe for their jobs. shortly afterwards, khione gets accepted into sky u.

in the transitional period between high school and college, the superhero world is shaken to the core when josie stronghold (nee demarco) dies. khione attends the funeral with her parents - who fly back from europe for this - and does her best to be there for will in the aftermath when his paternal grandparents fly into town.

during her first year at sky u, disaster strikes again: warren’s father, baron battle, escapes the maximum security prison. people speculate it’s an inside job. the downtown area of maxville gets turned into a disaster zone made of smoke plumes, flames and screams. khione, warren, will, layla, zach, magenta (brianne tju) and ethan are deployed to put a stop to baron's battle against the citizens of maxville.

things turn from bad to worse, however, when baron gets away and kidnaps ethan banks (quincy fouse) who is, by far, the smartest member of khione’s friend group and it takes far longer to get ethan back than khione would have liked.

enter katherine "katie" baxter shortly after khione's second year of uni has started. she and her twin michael “mike” baxter have sound based powers. while barron has escaped prison, mike is still locked up and katie is hurt and enraged about it. she and mike have gone through some shit and now they don’t quite know how to exist without each other. katie kidnaps khione, thinking that if she presses the right buttons, the stronghold seven (or six, in this case) will pull some strings to get mike released. khione is gone for about a week and the squad gets video updates. khione's parents are informed as well and they fly back from europe immediately (though whether they are truly concerned for their daughter's wellbeing or for everything they've invested in her so far is truly anyone's guess).

while she has her, katie excessively uses her sound powers on khione who tries her hardest to fight back until she’s exhausted. when it becomes clear that khione has received training when it comes to dealing with sound based powers to the best of her ability (because of course khione’s parents would do so, even though it hurts like hell), katie realizes that she needs to press harder. so she does, promising to wean khione off of all her friends when it becomes clear that they're not going to help her get her brother back.

the stronghold seven (or six, in this case) find khione locked up inside maxwellness, a wellness and beauty centre ("for maximum wellness!”) located somewhere in maxville. katie left khione in a sauna booth with the settings way up high. after she gets out of there, she faints and it's a race against the clock to try to get her core temperature back down before she dies. this whole experience exerbates khione's existing case of claustrophobia too.

ethan and khione hang out more afterwards. they bond over their respective experiences. ethan comes out as queer. khione tells him she’s pansexual. they bond over that, too, and magenta organically adds herself into the mix when she comes out to them as bi.

both of them spend the majority of their time catching up on the stuff they missed in regards to schoolwork as well. ethan and khione also end up training together (and seperately) so that neither of them get taken against their will ever again.

khione's third year is filled with pro and anti super sentiment across the board. after supers are forced to go public when mr medulla's particle accelerator explodes, the general public has a lot to say. turns out, he hadn't really "gotten rid of that horrible weapon, forever" like he said so many years ago and kept tinkering with the reversed pacifier behind the scenes. he just couldn't help himself. medulla was certain that he was doing a good thing here: he was going to bring about advancements in (mad) science, physics and advancements in medicine. still, the consequences are long-lasting. and never before had the debate on whether supers need to hang up the cape or not, on whether "their secret identity needs to become their only identity" been fiercer.

after graduation, khione officially takes up the mantle 'frostbite' amid the pro and anti super discussions and enters the field alongside the others and officially becomes part of the stronghold seven.
