The One You Once Loved Is Leaving- Lydia (acoustic)

Xander and Natasha went to Clint's farm when the team separated. His kids, also members of the team, returned home as well. Xander, for some reason, felt at home at his Uncle Clint's farm. The woods felt like a safe haven for him. That first night he had a dream.

Heidi, dressed in a long sleeved white dress, found herself in the woods. Snow covered the ground and the branches. The landscape looked pristine and pure. And it was quiet, save for birds singing.

She slowly starts to wander and weave around the birch, enjoying the peacefulness of her surroundings. Then something catches her attention and she looks to her right. A man walks toward her. At first she wasn't sure who he was until he got closer. She smiles and tears began to roll down her face. The man stops in front of her, returning the smile. There were small signs of wrinkles around his eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved white shirt and white pants.

"James," she sighs.

She notices something was different about him. His left arm wasn't metal. It was flesh and bone.

"…Been waiting on you," he remarks playfully.

He extends his left hand out to her. She takes it eagerly and they lock fingers. He pulls her closer to him to kiss her lovingly. "I've missed you," she whispers. "Me too," he responds, "Let's go home." She takes a step but stops to turn behind her. Bucky notices and gives her hand a squeeze. "He's going to be okay." "Promise?"

"Promise."

With that he leads her deeper into the woods until their figures disappeared.

He jerks up from his slumber with his face wet with tears. Xander exhales heavily and lies back down in bed. He knew then that the dream was his parents reuniting and they were at peace. No longer afraid for their lives or watching their backs from Hydra. No longer having to go through the pain of losing loved ones. For a moment he envied his parents. It gave him a small sense of peace. A small smile creeps up on his face as he stares at the ceiling. "Love you too," he whispers before falling asleep. For now, he'll sleep. Because tomorrow is a new day.
