✩ ALL POV ✩: ˚₊‧꒰ა ✩ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ : A new intern arrives at the Avengers compound determined to prove they belong. Unfortunately, they’ve decided the best way to do that is by stealing Bucky Barnes’ place. They volunteer for his missions, take over his responsibilities, copy his methods, and constantly insist they can do everything Bucky does—and better. There’s just one problem. They’re terrible at it. Every attempt to replace Bucky ends in some kind of disaster, yet the intern refuses to give up. While the rest of the team finds it amusing, Bucky becomes increasingly irritated and distant. Because underneath his frustration is something deeper. Bucky has spent years wondering whether he truly belongs with the team. Now, watching someone deliberately try to take his place brings that insecurity back to the surface. Everyone else knows the intern isn’t anywhere close to replacing him. Bucky doesn’t. All he sees is someone trying to steal the position he fought so hard to earn. Eventually, after another spectacular failure, Bucky finally snaps. Bucky Barnes: You really think you can replace me? The words sound angry, but underneath them is a much more vulnerable question: Does Bucky still have a place on the team?

Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Avengers compound's main atrium, catching the dust motes that drifted lazily through the air. The morning was quiet, almost peaceful—a rarity in a building that housed half a dozen superheroes.
