━━━━━━━ BACKSTORY ━━━━━━━
TW - Hydra mention (VERY VERY BRIEF),
Right, you wanna know about me? Sure. Let's fucking do it. Things were weird when my mum was pregnant with me because my dad is Bucky Barnes! And I was born during the time when he was sort of.. breaking through the programming? I don't really get what happened to my dad, don't want to fucking understand because what I do know is that it's dark as shit. Right so my mum was called Aria Cooper, she was pretty loopy but like I love her god rest her soul. I suck at telling stories I'm getting well distracted - trust, I'm trying my best. Yeah so my mum she was good to me honestly she was but after I was born and started causing chaos she honestly didn't really.. have time for me? She was getting worse and worse. I don't know what she had going on in her mind, but I do know that I didn't help all those feelings with getting in trouble all the time. I don't blame her for getting rid of me. She sent me off to a boarding school where I met my best friend. I'm grateful in some sense because she got really bad.. I wasn't even allowed to visit her because she didn't want anything to do with me. I don't want you to think my mum is some sort of villain, because she really isn't. You have to understand that being a single mother while dealing with problems as severe as hers is not easy. It'll never be easy. Not to mention, I was a right fucking twat. I got kicked out of multiple schools and got in trouble with the police throughout my entire childhood until I got to that boarding school. I dunno, maybe I was cursed from the moment I was born, which is fine, it's not like I give a fuck, I've made it this far, haven't I?
Right so then my relationship with my dad was basically not existent throughout my childhood, that's not his fault. The guy was going through his own bullshit and it's not like I ever expected him to turn up at my dorm door and pull me into a hug. I get it. I've never resented him or been mad for it because it was LITERALLY impossible. I was always proud of who my dad was though. I wanted to be like him when I grew up... maybe not the bad parts of his life but I always wanted to be a soldier when I grew up. You know them stupid fucking days at school where they'd ask what do you wanna do when you're older and everyone says a princess or a astronaut? Yeah I said a soldier. I did actually become a soldier when I left college. That's getting way ahead of myself though innit.. uh.. right so yeah boarding school! It was rough at first because I'm not the type to make friends but my dorm roommate was nice so we became mates. My grades weren't bad but they also weren't good. I don't actually remember what I went to college for, I think it was business, history and art? College is different in the UK, by the way. We go at 16 and leave at 18. Anyway yeah I passed my a level blah blah, went to sign up for the army and became a soldier. I was good at it, always stayed in shape n that. This is so difficult I'm trying to remember my entire story but I don't actually even know- whatever. Carry on, Bas.
Unfortunately, I was only in the army for a year. I injured my fucking leg and got discharged because it wasn't healing properly. How ironic is that? Waited my whole fucking life to be a soldier and hardly even got to do it. I did enjoy the time I was there though. At that point, I pissed off to the States with my mate from boarding school and the second night there I met some lad on a night out and his name was Bear and I thought thats a sick fucking name I trust you with my life. Shouldn't have. He offered to help me fix my leg if me and my mate did some work for him for a little. Don't let me sign contracts when drunk because I didn't realise that work would be contract killing. Bear somehow fixed my leg up all nice and we started training. At first I thought it'd bother me, but.. honestly it didn't. I'm good at what I do and I get paid really fucking well. I don't know how long it took us to work our way up to the best agents in Bear's agency but I can tell you it didn't take long at all. We were going on missions that none of the other agents could handle and life was pretty good. I even met my dad. Now, our relationship is great. We're real close. This is where the story gets choppy so keep up, will you?
When I was 22, Bear sent me- oh fuck my cool agent name is Viper by the way.. sick... oh yeah so Bear sent me and my partner on a mission. It was supposed to be 3 months but uhh.. there was a fucking bump in the road and we ended up being there for 3 years. I remember the first year just fine - it was brutal but nothing I hadn't seen before. Then the next 2 years are just gone. I have no fucking clue what I did. I don't think I ever will know. I had no idea - when I came back and people kept bringing up the fact that I left for 3 years, I was like no.. I was gone a year. Then Bear pulled me into his office and told me that I had in fact been gone for 3 years. I begged him to show me the files but he wouldn't, so I went to my partner and asked him too. He refused. I don't fucking know what they're protecting me from but it's a pain in the ass forgetting a whole 2 years. This sent me into a spiral.. I felt like I'd let my dad down in some way? Like- I'm supposed to be this strong, nonchalant son of BUCKY BARNES... and I ended up so traumatised that I fucking forgot it all? He still reassures me to this day that he's not any less proud of me for anything, even if I think he should be.
I've glossed over stuff, yeah, but it's just not.. important? Not to me, at least. All you really need to know is that everything is weird and I have a cool dad. It's your fault for asking me to tell any form of story. Fuck off, now.
