'Steve, it's been three hours, stop staring out the window. It's creepy' Bucky sighs. Trying to nudge him to lighten the mood.
Ever since Bucky and Steve got back to Steve's house he had been watching out of his window for any sign of Daisy. So far there was nothing.
'What if she fell?' Steve asks panicked. Still staring out the window. Bucky doesn't even know if he's blinked yet.
'Don't you have super hearing now?' Bucky mocks Steve.
Steve continues to pine and Bucky groans out in frustration.
'Right. Fine. I'm going'
'Going?' Steve mumbles.
'To see Daisy, your moping is driving me crazy. You're engaged Steve, she probably just wants some space, it was a shock for her, plus everything that had happened with her foot'
'Her foot?' Steve now slightly turns to Bucky but keeps his one eye glancing out to Daisy's.
'Pal, what do you think I've been cleaning up the whole time you've been watching her house?'
'What do you mean?' Steve asks aggravated and confused. His tone snappier than usual.
'She dropped a glass bowl on her foot before she came to you. Didn't you notice? Her feet were swollen. She didn't even have her shoes done up, and she was limping!'
'She...she was?' Steve stammers.
'Okay... Steve. Seriously? You need to be more observant'
Steve now turns to draw his full attention to Bucky. 'What did you just say to me?' Steve edges towards Bucky. He was now at least six inches taller than him and was using it to try and tower over him.
'Steve what the hell are you doing?' Bucky asks puzzled. Taking a step back from Steve. Noticing the darkened expression on his face.
His fists were clenched so tight the whites of his knuckles were almost transparent.

'Are you trying to intimidate me? What the fuck man!'
Steve leaps forward and shoves Bucky.
Bucky was strong but Steve was now like a powerhouse. Bucky thrashes against the glass porch door and it smashes into pieces. Bucky falls through and lands on the grass outside the front of the house.
'Language!' Steve roars as he continues to stomp towards Bucky, who was now lying on the floor holding his sides, groaning in agony.
'S-Steve' Bucky splutters.
He gets on his hands and knees to try and get up but Steve boots him in the stomach, making him keel over once more. Coughing and spluttering from the force. Steve could go harder too, he knew he could. But some part of him restrained.
'Shes MINE Bucky, when will you understand that?!' Steve belts. Grabbing Bucky by the collar and yanking him up to his feet.
Bucky looks at Steve with tears from the pain in his eyes. He could taste blood in his mouth. He wasn't sure wether it was from the impact of hitting the glass of the kick to the stomach.
'Steve...this isn't you' Bucky pleads, and he was right. This wasn't Steve. It was the serum.
'WHAT THE HELL?! BUCKY!?' Daisy screeches. Running over to help him. He could barely stand. His eyes were closing shut.
The minute Daisy grabbed a hold of bucky he collapsed. He fell onto Daisy and hit the floor. Daisy fell with him but managed to catch his head.
'Bucky?!' Daisy Troyes to force Bucky's eyelids open. His pupils interactive.
Daisy looks up to see Steve towering over the both of them. Swear beading off his forehead and his chest rising and fallen.
Daisy gets up and pushes Steve. He doesn't even move, it's as if his body was made of marble. The push actually did more damage to Daisy. A few of her fingers snapping from trying to get Steve to budge.

'Jesus Christ!' Daisy shouts. Grasping at her fingers.
Steve still doesn't move. It's as if he was a robot.
'Steve!' Daisy's pained voice brings him back to reality, at first his eyes are concentrated on the floor. Bucky completely unconscious, then his eyes work up towards his girl. His Daisy. Who was looking at him with an expression he wish he could take away, never to be seen again, complete and utter fear.
'D-Daisy' Steve stumbles over your name.
'What the hell did you do??' You cry out. Tears streaming down your face.
'He was...he was going to talk to you...'
'So?! Bucky's my friend Steve!'
'But you're my fiancé!' Steve roars and you flinch. Stumbling back and tripping over Bucky's legs on the ground. You were suddenly petrified of the man who was hours ago the most gentle and caring man you'd ever known.
Steve immediately reached down to get you but you close your eyes. Holding your arms up in front of your face. Steve retracts. His breath starting to become ragged from the whole scenario.
'G-get Bucky in the truck' Is all you can mumble out. Your voice shakes. Your whole body trembling.
'Daisy...' Steve looks at you, pleading for this to not be real.
'Get Bucky in the God damn truck Steve! I have to get him to a hospital!'
Steve nods and frantically rushes over to Bucky. Scooping him up as if I'm he was a feather and hoisting him into the truck.
You get into the drivers seat, Bucky always left the keys in the engine.
As you turn the ignition you hear Steve. 'Let me come with you' He begs. He looked completely lost. But you couldn't even bare to see the expression in his face. You couldn't look at him.
You don't reply. You hit the accelerator as fast as possible and speed off.
Your heart shattering as you look in the wing mirror. Steve on his knees on the ground, his hands in his face. Sobbing.
Tears stream down your face but you had to focus. You had to get to the hospital.
'D-Daisy?' Bucky splutters before letting out a Yelp that sounded so torturous it sent shivers down your spine.
'Hang in Buck. I got you, you're going to be okay. I promise'
'He bought you a ring. It's in the shape of a Daisy...' Bucky manages to breathe out as his breathes become coarse and heavy.
'Hey. Hey. Focus. Stay with my Buck. Tell me about the ring. Talk to me, tell me please' You didn't care about the ring at this moment in time. You just needed him to keep talking. To remain conscious.
'Steve saved eight years to get you that ring. Promise me you'll wear it with pride' Bucky can barely speak at this point. His whispers were barely loud enough for you to hear.
'I promise Bucky, aslong as you promise to walk me down the aisle. Can you do that?'
'Til the end of the line...'
Tears start to stream as Bucky's eyes close again.
'Bucky!? Bucky! Come on!!!' You shriek out as you pull up to the hospital.

Flesh Forger
Born a bit too late to explore the world, yet far too early to explore space, Graham Lattem is your average 61 year old man - if a little wanderlust filled. That being said, he has a happy home, loving wife, children who check up on him, and a decent retirement fund to live out his golden years modestly. Then it happens. [System Initialization Commencing…] A trick of the light, surely. [Planetary Merger Protocol 331 Enabled] Rumbling can be heard in the distance. Shouts. Cries of anguish. A horrible, ear numbing crashing sound. An earthquake. A hole opens in the middle of his home, and our protagonist falls in as a swirling vortex consumes him. Mountains as far as the eye can see greet Graham as he opens his eyes. Well, and more glowing words: [Welcome To The Macrocosm] [Good Luck] Far away from his family in a world hell-bent on his demise, how will this old, arthritis ridden man survive? Did I mention he has cancer? ===================================================================== Aiming for at least 1 chapter every other day, though there is a very big chance it will more oftentimes than not be more than that! This is my first ever story. One that I’ve been wanting to write for awhile. The system is most definitely inspired by Randidly Ghosthound and The New World, but I promise the story is different! Please point out any mistakes, as I’d love to improve! Also the warnings are just to let me experiment.

Liana in between Worlds
17 year old Liana is not as surprised as most people would be when she meets Inaya, coming from another world searching for a mysterious danger that could be disastrous for both worlds. She's always seen things others could not see, and she often finds it easier to befriend strange creatures from dreamworlds than her classmates. But now she's involved in a possible plot to eradicate our whole species, which makes her travel through a dead alien city and the oak wood of the Nummerfa who believe that our species are dangerous demons from hell, and other places in several different worlds. All she actually wanted was read her Tolkien book, or sit and watch the stars without being bothered by the existential problems of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And how is she going to even explain her absence at school? 'Liana in Between Words' is a weird genre-defying mix of portal fantasy and scifi in a tale of friendship, loneliness, and the role of humans in the multiverse. This one contains absolutely no romance and no serious trigger warnings for sex, excessive violence, bad words or heavily traumatising content if you can handle the idea that there are people somewhere who think -maybe not completely without reason- that our species are destructive demons that should be eradicated.
