Bucky's POV

I just back to the tower when I remember that Tony sent me to get ingredients for the meal. I curse myself out before heading in. I take the elevator up to the main floor where Tony is cooking.

"Glad you could make it!" Tony says in his sarcastic voice.

I see the meal was made and everyone was sitting at the table," Where are the groceries?" Steve asks.

I rub the back of my neck," I ran into someone important."

"More important than food?" Peter, Spiderman and Tony's intern, asks.

I nod my head, Peter is the only other avenger who hasn't found his mate. I sigh and sit in the only seat left, beside Steve and Wanda.

"So?" Clint asks.

"Yeah, who was so important?" Bruce asks quickly after Clint.

I sigh before explaining," I found Steve and my soul mate."

This caused an uproar of happiness until they realized," Where is she?" Natasha asks.

"She ran away before I could ask her name. I don't know who she is nor do I know where she is," I say, sadness evident in my voice as Wanda hugs me. 

Tony even looks sad for Steve and I. Soul mates are a serious thing to us Avengers.

"Well we can't have that!" Vision exclaims. 

Wanda then perks up," Yeah! Tony can't you do something?"

Tony thinks for a moment," Steve, if Bucky explains her to you can you draw her?"

"Yes, I can. Why?" Steve asks with a spark of light in his eye that I haven't seen since we were in the war after we saved others. 

Tony looks at me then Steve before saying," If you can draw her, I can find her."

We then start the process after we eat of course. 

Steve and I leave to go to Steve's room so he could start drawing her.

Percy's POV

I sigh as I walk through the door to Mom's apartment.

"Mom! I'm home!" I call out as I walk to the kitchen and but the bags of groceries on the dinning room table.

Mom looks at me before saying," Thank you darling."

I smile at her and head into my old room, saying hi to Estelle and Paul on the way. I close the door quickly and then dramatically flop onto my bed. Why did I run from him? I could've brought him here!

I sigh as I think on all the possibilities that could've happened if only I stayed with him.

"Percy dear, it's time for dinner," Mom says as she pops her head through the door that was cracked open.

I get out of my bed and head to the dinning room table where Estelle, Paul, and Mom already are sitting. I sit next to Estelle and Mom as we start to eat.

I begin thinking back on my mate, he seems so kind, I don't understand.

"Percy?" A voice calls snapping me out of my thoughts. "Percy you ok?" Paul asks me.

I nod but Mom knows me more," Percy, what is on your mind? You can tell us."

I sigh but tell her because she will somehow drag it out of me later," I found my first mate." 

Mom begins to smile as Estelle starts to clap. Paul on the other hand doesn't do anything.

"Who is he? Where is he?" Paul asks me with a serious face.

I look down at my lap," I may or may not have ran away from him."

"Percy!" Mom exclaims startling poor Estelle.

I look up and say," I'm sorry that I didn't think through all my options!" I slouch in my seat before standing up, saying," I'm full. I'll be in my room if you need me."

I put my plate in the sink and head to my room to go try to sleep a bit. I change into a large tee shirt and a pair of old running shorts. I turn off all the lights in my room besides my lap on the bedside table.

I crawl into bed and slide under the covers. I reach up and turn the light out before rolling on my side and closing my eyes. I feel sleep calling me quickly and I let it grab me and pull me under.

Bucky's POV

I finished telling Steve about our mate about thirty minutes ago but some how he is still not done.

I get up careful not to disturb Steve, he hates it when someone disturbs him while he is drawing.  I walk out the door and close it quietly. I decide to go down to the lab to see what Bruce and Tony are working on.

"Hey Bucky. How are you?" Bruce asks politely.

Tony however asks, "what are you doing here Bucky? Did Steve finish the drawing?"

"I kinda left him in his room working on it," I say while rubbing the back of my neck.

Bruce nods and says," It's okay Bucky, we understand."

Not even five minutes later Steve runs in holding his sketch book yelling," I finished! I'm done!" Steve then proceeds to give Tony the book while asking," You can track her with this, right?"

"Of course! Steve you even did it in color," Tony complements Steve and everyone in the room look at Tony in surprise.

Steve and I sit in the lab for a few hours as Tony and Bruce work their magic. Natasha came down about an hour ago to give us coffee and someone to talk to for a bit.

I sigh and I lay my head on one of Tony's tables that has a bunch of crap on it. Surprisingly I fall asleep with dreams of having a life with my beautiful mate. 

Beeeeeeep Beeeeeeep Beeeeeeep Beeeeeeep Beeeeeeep!

I quickly sit up and look around for a threat but see none.

"Finally!" Tony exclaims with a triumphant smirk. "Found her."

Steve and I bolt up and go next to Tony so we can read what FRIDAY had pulled up for Tony.

Persephone Nyx Jackson.
19 years old.
Hasn't been seen for three years, mother, Sally Jackson, never reported anything.
Long list of schools claiming that Persephone is a trouble child and they never want to see her or her generation ever.

Wow. Persephone, you sound amazing I think to myself.
