[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

Kelly fell to the familiar floor—with the weight of an extra person, she lost her balance when she landed, and she got up in a hurry, looking at the people next to her in panic.Bucky was beside her, lying on the ground in an odd position, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.Kelly watched him through in a panic before remembering that she would diagnose the spell.

Her hands were shaking so badly that she took out her wand only a second time, and immediately cast a spell.The result was a big sigh of relief: Bucky was unharmed, dismembered, and had no internal damage.Kelly's feet went limp and she almost fell to the ground.

"Kelly." Bucky panted for a moment, sitting up now, "Kelly, let me explain—"

"James Buchanan Barnes!!" Kelly roared, her voice startling herself.After experiencing the initial panic, the raging anger suddenly ignited, sweeping away all her previous sadness, shame and anger, "What do you think you are doing!!! What are you fxx king doing! If you think it takes too long, you can just say , You don’t need to use such a creative method to commit suicide! Do you know how dangerous it is for ordinary people to show up?

She was trembling with anger, unable to speak, two lines of tears finally flowed out, and she knew that she must look ugly with disheveled hair, angry face, flushed face and tears, but she didn't care.She didn't know if it was because she had the worst thing ever - being rejected by Bucky like this, or something worse - thinking she was going to lose Bucky, or the best thing - finding Bucky intact Living without damage, or all these ensuing blows, in short, Kelly feels that she has fallen into a broken pot, and she doesn't care about anything, because things can't be worse.At most, it would be to lose Bucky as a friend forever. After what happened tonight, it would be difficult for Kelly to face him calmly in the future anyway.

Bucky was still sitting on the ground, staring at her blankly, as if he was petrified by her outburst, but in the end, it was Bill's voice that broke the silence.

"What's the matter?" He said, walking out of the room, and asked as he descended the stairs, "What happened, Kelly..."

"None of your business, Bill!" Kelly snapped, turning her head.She knew it was rage, but she didn't care—she didn't give a damn about anything.

"OK, don't get excited." Bill spread his hands, turned around and walked back to the second floor, he looked down at the two people in the living room over the railing: "Calm down, both of you, and... I didn't know you did something, but you better apologize, Bucky."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and entered the room. Kelly waited until his door was closed, then turned her head to stare at Bucky.

"I'm sorry, Kelly, I'm really sorry." Bucky held up his hands in a gesture of surrender, "but let me explain, please."

"Then you explain." Kelly's chest rose and fell violently, and the feeling of dyspnea seemed as if the aftereffects of apparition hadn't passed, "Now."

"Look, I, uh," Bucky licked his lips nervously, "I'm sorry, Kelly, I didn't mean that—I mean, I was freaked out, it's not that I didn't want to dance with you—I Think, I really think, I just didn't expect it, I just didn't expect you to invite me, so when I heard you ask me, my first reaction was that it can't be true, you can't be true Asked me like that—I'm sorry, Kelly—”

"Why can't this be true?" Kelly asked, her anger quietly subsiding, the feeling of heartbreak on the dance floor creeping back, and Kelly hated it, but couldn't stop it. My chest hurts more and more, "Why didn't I ask you like this?"

"Because... come on, Kelly." Bucky looked away painfully. "You know why."

"Why?" Kelly demanded.

"Because, obviously." Bucky was almost forced to say this by her, "You and Steve."

Kelly glared at him.

"Me and Steve," she repeated flatly.

"Yeah." Bucky swallowed, "You and Steve, you... I don't want to... you're the only girl in all these years who can see the beauty of Steve's heart through his appearance, and I can't just take you away, it's not fair to Steve..."

"So you're going to give me up to Steve?" Kelly demanded, her lips quivering with rage, "For such absurd reasons, you're going to give me up to Steve like a box of crayons or something -"

"No!" Bucky jerked his head up to look at Kelly, retorting fiercely, "You know I won't do this, I'll never push you like a thing! I only do this because you also Like Steve, and I don't want to... Now that you two get along so well, I can't just plug/in just because I like you too, I don't want to start another pointless rivalry that makes us both miserable... "

"James Buchanan Barnes." Kelly said word by word, slowly, "AREYOUFXXKINGKIDDINGME."

Bucky looked at her blankly: "What..."

"Fuck me I like Steve too," Kelly said, probably the most foul-mouthed day of her life, and damn it she didn't give a damn about the foul-mouthing, "I like you, Bucky, I I've always only liked you."

Bucky glared at her.

"That's impossible," he said almost unconsciously.

"Yeah, it's damn impossible, because I never had a good impression of you when we first met, and I never worried about whether you would be afraid of my ability, nor did I like you for a whole time Three years, not to mention grabbing Steve desperately to ask me what I am inferior to Nina, and why you would rather dance with her all night than look at me." Kelly gritted her teeth and said bitterly , "I'm still in love with you because you're definitely not the biggest idiot in the world."

Every time she said a sentence, Bucky's mouth opened a little, and by the time she finished speaking, Bucky's mouth could fit a whole egg.He closed his mouth, opened it and closed it again, and seemed to lose the ability to speak for a moment.

"But you've been dancing with Steve," he said finally, feebly.

"Yeah, because the boy I like won't dance with me, and the girl he likes won't dance with him." Kelly replied coldly.

"I always thought you guys were better," Bucky said, "You would sit all afternoon as his model, you would heal him with magic whenever he was sick, and you danced with the others since you taught Steve to dance. less and less... no girl would do that to a normal friend..."

"God, no," Kelly blurted out, and she couldn't help but cry when she realized it suddenly, "No, I'm—I'm not a girl of this world, okay? That's what you do to your friends with us Things, these are normal things! It has nothing to do with my gender, and it has nothing to do with whether I like Steve! It's just that Steve is in poor health, and I have to pay more attention to him-how can you think that .”

Bucky looked at her like he had seen her use magic for the first time.

"God, I thought..." he said, his tone confused between happiness and pain, "Kelly, I thought..."

"If you're still clinging to 'you thought' right now, fine, you can get the hell out of here now."

"No, wait!" Bucky jumped up from the floor, nearly tripping himself again, "It's—this was just an accident, Kelly. I've been in love with you for at least three years—I can't believe this it is true……"

"Me too," Kelly said.Her cold shell melted a little, she turned her head and stopped looking at Bucky, "Say that sentence again."

"I like you, Kelly, I love you, I love you more than anything in the world," Bucky said, "I'm sorry I've been the dumbest idiot ever."

"Yeah." Kelly said, she blinked hard, raised her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, "I like you too."

Her hand was immediately grabbed gently by Bucky. Bucky's other hand took out a handkerchief from nowhere and pressed it gently on her face. Kelly withdrew his hand and buried her face in the handkerchief .

"Even after all the mistakes I've made?" Bucky asked softly. "Even now?"

"Even now," Kelly said.She put down her handkerchief and saw Bucky close to her, looking down at her face.In the dim light, there seemed to be bright flames in his eyes.

"Can I?" he asked, lowering his head.

That wasn't Kylie's first kiss.But at that moment, it was as if she had never kissed anyone in her life, as if a peach petal suddenly fell on the arctic tundra.Bucky's tongue lightly licked her lips, so pure and so hot, Kelly felt a slight tremor all over her body.She leaned forward involuntarily, and was held in Bucky's arms.

"So, Nina?" Kelly asked as they parted. "You don't intend to date her?"

"She's a lovely girl, but I haven't met anyone who can compare to you. I doubt there is any girl in this world who is better than you." Bucky said, "Would you like to be me at the next dance?" Your partner, Kelly?"

"I don't even know when the next prom is," Kelly said.

"Anytime," Bucky said, "even at 90 I'd still want to ask you to be my dance partner."

Kelly gave him a push. "Let's start talking now, huh? I've known you for how many years, and I'm not going to be as coaxing as those girls you charm—"

She still had a straight face, but she already had a hint of a smile on her face.Bucky laughed and pulled her to sit on the sofa together. "Still angry?" he asked softly.

Kelly thought about it seriously, raised her head and wiped her face, and sighed a long time: "You know, I don't even have the energy to be angry with you now..."

"I don't know whether I should be more thankful or more worried." Bucky said, leaning over and putting his arms around Kelly, Kelly slapped his hand softly, but he didn't let go, "I think it's probably still Worry more. Do you still have the strength to kiss me again?"

They laughed together.The two of them were sitting on the sofa, doing nothing but being bored with each other, doing some meaningless little movements and saying some meaningless words—just like every couple who is in love is dizzy.Both of them lost the sense of time, and after an unknown amount of time, Kelly reluctantly pushed Bucky: "Okay, let's go home, or go back to school and explain to your friends why you suddenly disappeared."

"Oh, I've got to go find Steve," Bucky groans, "I've got to explain what's going on—he'll probably yell at me…"

"You deserve it," Kelly said, but she couldn't help showing a little guilty expression. She had almost forgotten about Steve's side earlier. "Go, I guess we must have scared him."

"He must have gone to my house," Bucky said, turning to the door and back reluctantly, "Well, Kelly—"

Kelly licked her lips lightly, but she didn't hold back.When the front door slammed, Bucky left, Kelly fell back, and the sofa slid over by itself, catching her smoothly.

She did feel ecstasy—great joy, incredible luck, and deep exhaustion.This series of emotional outbursts tonight was really tiring, and now that it finally got a happy ending, Kelly just didn't want to stand up for a while.She casually pulled a cushion to hug her, buried her face in it, and couldn't restrain the smile on her face—Bucky liked her, it seemed that the world was already perfect at this moment, and she didn't want anything else anymore.

But after sitting for a while, she forced herself to stand up, went upstairs, and knocked on the door.Soon the door opened, and Bill raised an eyebrow at her.

"I'm sorry, Bill—" Kelly bowed her head guiltily, "I shouldn't blame you, I'm sorry."

"Nothing," Bill said with a smile. "It's all over again, huh?"

"Bucky likes me too," Kelly said, unable to hold back her smile, "I can't believe we've been in a two-way crush all this time, it's like a novel, I thought I asked him so clearly We're hopeless after that—" She stopped the car just in time to realize that she was spouting a load of nonsense like all people in love do to every family and friend they meet, "Anyway, I'm still sorry. "

"Congratulations." Bill patted her on the shoulder with a smile. "That means I can justifiably criticize him now?"

"You're still not my brother." Kelly purposely put on a straight face, but laughed within a few seconds, "However, I'll give you the right."

"My pleasure." Bill laughed loudly. The two chatted and laughed for a while. He gradually restrained his smile and put on a serious expression. He waved his wand and cast a protective spell around him. any news?"

"What?" Kelly immediately became serious, and sat down opposite him, "Did something happen to Stark? Or Dr. Erskine?"

Since that unsuccessful meeting, she and Bill had taken turns visiting the Doctor's house periodically to ascertain his condition.During the previous few visits, John Schmidt had pressed him harder and harder—yes, they finally found John Schmidt, the future Red Skull, but his security was so tight that two people It is difficult to carry out assassination.After discussing with Bill, Kelly and Bill decided that it would be better to encounter the doctor's hostility than to create a red skull. The two of them planned to have a showdown with Howard in the near future, and they persuaded the doctor again a few days later. Tied to New York.

"I went to Dr. Erskine's house today, and he has been taken away by Schmidt." Bill said very seriously, "His wife is imprisoned at home. I waited for several hours, just in time for Schmidt to order to kill him." She—I brought her back and made a fake corpse. She's at Howard Stark's now."

"Is she already at Howard's?" Kelly asked in surprise.

"That's right," Bill said. "He asked to see you tomorrow."

The author has something to say: After all, Kelly is a girl from 80 to [-] years later, and her concept is much more open than that era.She thought it was normal to get along with each other, but in fact they had already crossed the line of intimacy.And Steve only has these two friends, so he will be closer naturally, so neither of them feel that there is anything wrong, but Bucky seems to be different... so this is a misunderstanding caused by a generation gap|||| ||||

That's the only level of my bloody shit, if there are OOC or logic problems, it's all the author's fault, the character is innocent||||||||||||||||
