Chapter10

Skye's arm was healing rapidly, she didn't know if it was from the GH in her system or something else. She didn't really care, she was just happy the pain was pretty much gone. It has been another week since the mission, she and Bucky were already becoming closer since that night. She knew though soon she would be sending him on his first mission, as she walked to Whitehall's office she knew she wasn't going to like what she hears.

"Ah Skye come in please" Whitehall was sitting at his desk looking at a certain folder,

"You said that you had a mission for the asset" she said sitting down. She saw him smile, which was still the creepiest thing.

"Yes there is another Hydra member that is of great value that needs to be rescued." Skye held her breath waiting.

"As we know it he will be transferred to the local government we want the Winter Soldier to intercept him and bring him here. We have been waiting for an opportune moment like this." He leaned forward watching her carefully,

"Sounds easy enough, who is the agent?" Skye asked as her gut twisted,

"Grant Ward" as soon as Whitehall said those words Skye had to fight the urge to vomit.

"I thought it would be good for you to have someone else you knew here with you, and his skills are greatly needed here with us. He has been with this new shield maybe he could tell us some details." Whitehall stood up walking around the desk to her,

"The Winter solider will not be going alone though, he will have a team with him." Whitehall walked over to his bar and poured a drink, Skye just sat there frozen.

"I need him ready by tonight" Whitehall said as Skye stood to leave.

"He will be ready" Skye replied emotionless.

"Oh I don't want Agent Ward knowing about you just yet though. Once he comes in you will stay clear of him while we debrief him" Whitehall smiled at her again as she nodded and left.

Skye held in her emotions until she got into her room, she didn't know what to do or what to feel. Ward could ruin everything she is trying to do, he could reveal her in a second. She couldn't contact Coulson because then Whitehall would know something was wrong. She felt helpless.

Bucky saw her come in and run straight to the bathroom slamming the door, he knew something was very wrong she never did that. He went to knock on the door before he heard her breathing heavy, he waited a few moments before opening the door and seeing her crouched in the corner arms around her knees. Bucky just pulled her into his arms,

"They want you to rescue him," she finally said but Bucky didn't really know who she was talking about.

"Who?" he asked softly.

"Grant Ward, my former SO, he betrayed my team. He almost killed both my best friends. I thought he was different, but he wasn't he used us." She said pulling closer to Bucky, he just held her tighter stroking her hair.

"I don't have to rescue him, I could accidently let him go in front of a bullet." He said seriously. She shook her head.

"He isn't letting you go alone, you will have a team with you." She explained.

"Then I will kill them too, we could escape Skye." He said hopeful she looked at him slowly.

"Whitehall is keeping me here, to make sure you come back" she said and his heart dropped a little.

"He knows you're here undercover doesn't he?" Bucky finally asked,

"Yes" she shuttered against him. She didn't know if he would hurt her, but she didn't want to find out she didn't know if he would turn her in.

"We can't let him know you are here then, I promise Skye I will protect you." He told her sternly, all she could do is nod. She didn't know how this would play out, but she hoped it would be alright. She didn't realize how wrong she was.

Coulson just got off the phone with General Talbot they were getting in their good graces by handing over Ward. Something he didn't want to do, but had no choice.

"Do we have all the intel from him?" Coulson asked as Natasha came into his office.

"We have enough, I'm not sure this is a good idea Coulson. Hydra could get word of this and send a rescue unit for him." She told him,

"I know me either but why did he tell you everything? He wouldn't talk to anyone but Skye?" Coulson was a little confused.

"I told him it would make sure Skye was protected." Natasha shrugged.

"This is still too risky" she repeated.

"I know but we need to, ever since the 0-8-4 was stolen from the government, they have been on our backs more than usual. Even though I keep reminding them it wasn't us but Hydra." Coulson ran a hand down his face, he was so tired of Hydra betting them to everything.

"You know what will happen if Hydra gets him back." Natasha warned, Coulson just nodded of course he knew. It could mean Skye would be compromised.

"I know, but we have no choice. Ward might be a traitor and a liar, but I don't think he would ever harm Skye." Coulson said honestly, Natasha didn't agree.

"Is there any way we could warn her?" Natasha asked,

"Not without compromising her, I do have an agent on the inside but she isn't with Skye." Natasha raised her brow at that.

"Who do you have?" she was curious.

"Bobbi Morse, she is high ranking in their security" Coulson said standing up, it was time to remove Ward.

Walking down to the vault he noticed that Ward was pacing, when he finally noticed Coulson he froze.

"No more Romanoff interrogating me?" he asked coldly,

"No you gave us more than enough thank you." Coulson said still standing.

"Where's Skye?" Ward finally asked noticing something was off.

"Don't worry about that, you won't ever see her again." Ward look confused for a moment, but then turned to rage.

"I gave you everything I knew, I thought we were re-building trust Coulson." Coulson almost snapped at that.

"I will never trust you again, and we made a deal with the government. You will be transferred to a high security prison." Coulson explained and Ward's face went pale.

"My brother?" he asked scarred,

"No, your brother doesn't know we have you. You may be a murderer and a traitor but I wouldn't return you to your abuser." Coulson stated as a team came down ready to secure him. Ward stepped back.

"Hands" Coulson ordered lowering the wall, Ward stuck out his hands. This was his chance to escape.

Skye and Bucky sat on the floor for a while longer before they heard a knock. Skye new it was almost time. Getting up the guard notified her they needed to be ready in an hour. She nodded and closed the door, taking a bag the guard gave her she set it on the bed pulling out Bucky's tactical gear.

"You should get ready." She said softly laying out his clothes. Bucky nodded and went into the bathroom changing into the familiar gear he wore so many times before. They had the vest cut making sure his metal arm was shown. He walked back out to see Skye looking at his attire,

"Well they certainly know how to make you look intimidating," he almost smiled at that. He walked up to her placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Everything will be okay, I promise I won't let anything happen to you." He told her sternly, she nodded they ate a little before the mission and sat in silence until it was time.

"Be careful, and good luck" she told him before they opened the door, he always stayed a step behind her as they walked through the building. She turned into Whitehall's office to see Brock and a few more soldiers there. They all turned to them.

"We are ready to begin, Rumlow debrief him." Whitehall stared at Bucky, watching Brock tell him the plan on getting Grant Ward. It was a simple interception, Skye made sure she was standing next to Bucky when Brock was debriefing him. Bucky kept his face emotionless the entire time,

"Let's move out" Brock suddenly told the team. Skye gave one last long look at Bucky and watched him go. Skye turned back to Whitehall he gestured her to a screen to watch the entire thing.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ward let the men take him and put a bag over his head. Once they drove off they stopped again, they finally took off the bag he noticed there was only 5 guards protecting him. It should be easy. After he got in the other truck he waited about 30min, he took a breath breaking his wrist and slipping out of the cuff. As soon as his cuff was release the truck was flipped over, he braced himself and managed to grab a gun. Once the door opened he held up the gun and waited, he didn't expect to see the Winter Soldier.

"Agent Ward?" The Winter Soldier asked, Ward debated on answering but gave in.

"Who wants to know?" he asked.

"Hydra" was all the Soldier said before Rumlow came into view, Ward smiled this would be fun.

"Is this a rescue, you are getting a little rusty Rumlow" he shook hands with Brock he meet him a couple times with Garrett, he actually got along with him.

"Well your dumb ass got captured." Brock told him smiling a little.

"Fair enough, who's in charge?" he asked because he knew Pierce was dead.

"Whitehall, he is excited to meet you." Brock told him, Ward turn to see the Winter Soldier glaring at them both.

"I see you got the asset back" Bucky tensed at that.

"Yea also we managed to get his handler back as well," Ward raised his brow at that, he didn't know if Brock was talking about Skye or not.

"Who is his handler?" Ward questioned.

"Whitehall will tell you himself, he doesn't want it public knowledge yet." Brock said with coldness.

"Well wouldn't want to disappoint the new head." Ward said as they got into the trucks and left. Ward was hoping to see Skye once he was there.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Whitehall was happy with the Winter Soldier,

"You've done well with him, I think we will have him active again." Whitehall told her turning back to his desk.

"Of course, is there anything else I could do for you?" Skye asked waiting to go back to the room.

"No I think this is an amazing start, we might have something else for you as well though soon." Whitehall told her looking at the file with the 0-8-4 the one that was stolen just a couple days ago. He needed it back and maybe the Soldier was the one for the job.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Skye walked back to her room making sure to avoid everyone, she nodded at the guards and walked in. She decided to shower before Bucky got back.

She was laying on the bed when she heard the door open, looking up she saw Bucky enter the room eyes cold. She immediately went to him.

"Are you okay?" she looked him over making sure there was no wounds, he nodded.

"I'm fine," he told her gently as he stepped away and started taking off his gear.

"How did the mission go?" she was almost afraid to ask but she needed to know if Ward was here.

"Completed" he answered automatically,

"I'm sorry" she told him, he turned to her confused.

"Skye why on earth are you sorry."

"I should've told Whitehall you weren't ready, I should've waited until you had a mission on your own. That way you could just run, and not come back to this place."

"Don't blame yourself, this is what we have to do until we can escape. I'm fine really it was just hard not to knock that guy out, he is a cocky bastard." Bucky frowned and Skye giggled a little.

"When I first met him I called him a government tool-bag." He smiled a little imagining that.

"You should go shower, I'll get some food for us." He nodded as she went out the door.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ward was escorted to Whitehall's office he looked around to see if he could see Skye, to see if she was even here but didn't. He also noticed how quickly the Winter Soldier left them once they got on base.

"Agent Grant Ward, it is a pleasure to see you." Ward just smiled and sat down.

"Thank you for the rescue, that cell was rather uncomfortable." Ward told him honestly, not that he needed to be rescued but now he didn't have to track Hydra down.

"I can imagine, well as you know we are at war with SHIELD. I need to know who is in charge, and who they have working for them. I know you were locked up but you were also on Agents Coulson's team." White said getting to the point.

Ward told him about Coulson, Natasha, Clint, Steve, and the rest of the team. He didn't know much but he knew enough to get an approving nod from Whitehall. He also left out Skye, he wanted that information to himself for now. After he was done with the debrief Brock came into the room, with a visitor.

"Strucker good of you to visit" Whitehall greeted the man in the doorway.

"Yes, well I heard you have something for me" Strucker walked over pouring himself a drink, Whitehall nodded and walked over to a long box lifting the lid that glowed blue.

"Finally," Strucker said moving toward the item, Ward tilted his head to get a better look. It was Loki's staff.

"Well now that's a sight to behold." Ward said coming to stand behind the two men. Whitehall looked at him amused.

"Yes it is, I also hear that you were able to re-program the Winter Soldier even without the machine." Strucker smirked at Whitehall then to Ward.

"Yes we were able to control him a different way, we were able to find his handler." Whitehall told him closing the lid to the staff.

"I would very much like to meet them both, the Winter Soldier is such a great asset to Hydra. Apparently so is Agent Ward here, Garrett worked with me on a couple gifted cases he spoke highly of you." Ward just nodded and smiled.

"I would be happy to show you the asset but I am afraid your men, and you Agent Ward, will have to wait here." Whitehall told them, Strucker nodded and his men stayed behind with Ward. Brock showed them to the room.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After they ate Bucky and Skye were sitting on the couch when they heard a knock on the door. Skye immediately shot up and opened it to find Brock, Whitehall, and one more person entering the room.

"Skye I would like you to meet Strucker, he is a head in Hydra. He also is works great with people who have gifts." Whitehall smiled as Skye held out her hand.

"It's nice to meet you," she said a little hesitantly, she noticed that Bucky was standing only a couple feet behind her watching them closely. Strucker held up her hand and kissed her knuckles she felt a shiver down her spine.

"I have a feeling we will be working very close together Skye. Is there a last name I can use?" Stucker asked and Skye shook her head.

"Orphan no family so no last name." Skye told him and he smiled at her, he shifted his gaze to the Winter Soldier.

"Ah yes this is the Winter Soldier, he was the reason we were able to get Agent Ward back." Whitehall explained and Skye tensed. Bucky didn't move or say anything as Strucker walked around him.

"He is very impressive, but tell me why does she have such a hold over him?" Stucker asked looking at Skye again and Bucky took a step forward, Whitehall and Strucker smiled.

"Apparently there is more than meets the eye. Tell me does the famous Winter Soldier have a soft spot for this girl?" Strucker poked and Bucky remained emotionless.

"Well that doesn't matter to badly right now, just as long as she is loyal to Hydra." Strucker asked studying Skye again, she didn't move or flinch.

"I am loyal to Hydra, Shield took away my family so they need to pay." She lied flawlessly.

"Yes, but there is something about you something special. Only time will tell though." Strucker said smiling at her once again, he turned to Whitehall walking out the door with him following. Skye couldn't shake the feeling something was going to go terribly wrong.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After Whitehall came back into his office, Ward was still waiting for him there.

"So what are my orders sir?" Ward asked a little frustrated he wasn't allowed to see the Winter Soldier's handler, he needed to know if it was Skye or not. He wanted to know where she was.

"Right now remain here, build your strength back up and then we will discuss orders." Whitehall explained waving his hand dismissing him.

"Agent Rumlow will show you to your new quarters." With that Ward stood and nodded, looking at Brock who was already waiting at the door.

"I take it not every Hydra agent at the Triskelion died?" Ward asked and Brock just smirked.

"Of course not, but shield doesn't need to know that, according to them I am still dead." Ward just nodded.

"How many agents are still missing?" Ward asked again and Brock shrugged.

"Not sure we have been picking up more and more, but we still are not sure who is completely loyal." Brock explain they reached his new room and Brock handed him a bag with some essentials.

"Have a gym to train in? I wouldn't mind sparring a couple times" Ward told Brock grinning.

"We can spar anytime you want after I am done with training my rookie." That took Ward by surprise, in all his years Brock never took on a rookie.

"They have to be someone important, you've never taken a rookie."

"She is, we lost her after the fall but she came back thankfully."

"Who is it?"

"You will know soon enough, now the mess hall is down there to the right." Brock pointed out, after Ward nodded he left. Ward was pretty sure Skye was here, he just needed to find her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Skye was pacing the room, there was another head of Hydra here and the reasons couldn't be good. The way Strucker looked at Bucky like a prize sickened her, she needed to get him out and soon. She really hoped something would come up, some mission that would get him away from all this. She wanted to contact Coulson tell him what was going on but knew it wasn't the time, she would only contact him if it was an emergency.

"Skye," Bucky snapped her out of her thoughts, she stopped pacing looked at him.

"You need to stop pacing and sit down" he told her gently but she shook her head.

"I need to get you out, Strucker was looking at you like, like you were a prize. I won't let him do anything to you, I don't like that man he gives me an off vibe." Skye finally said taking a breath, she started biting her lip, something she did when she was nervous or in deep thought. She didn't hear Bucky walk over to her until he was holding her by her shoulders making her stand still and look at him.

"Skye, I know he is one of the worst Hydra heads. I won't let anything happen to you though, and Whitehall values me too much to let Strucker do anything." He tilted her chin up gently, her eyes were watery.

"I don't care about me, I'm worried about you." She said softly, he just smiled down at her.

"They won't get me without a fight" he assured her but she shook her head.

"They will hurt you Bucky, they will torture you again. Don't ask me to watch that, don't ask me too endure it please. I can't lose you." Skye never liked showing her emotions but Bucky has come to mean a lot to her, she didn't want to lose him like everyone else. He brushed a tear away and held her tightly.

"I won't ever make you go through that Skye, I will never leave you." He held her there letting her calm down, he never wanted to be without her. They looked at the clock and noticed it was already late,

"We should get some sleep," Bucky told her, she stepped back and nodded she looked worn out.

"Take the bed tonight Skye you look exhausted." He told her moving to the couch before she grabbed his hand.

"We can share it, I do better with nightmares when you are close." She told him shyly, he smiled at that.

"Skye I don't think," he started but saw determination on her face.

"I promise I don't bite," she smirked then added, "well hard."

He laughed a little then nodded, this girl was going to be the death of him. She changed into shorts and a tank as he got his pajama pants. Turning off the light they both laid down in bed, they were far enough apart they didn't touch. After a couple hours Bucky felt the bed shift, he rolled over to check on Skye to notice she was right next to him. Her eyes were closed but she snuggled up next to him, he hesitantly put his arm around her as she leaned into him. It was the first time they both slept soundly in years.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everyday became the same to Skye wake up, train, come back to the room, and don't leave the room. Ever since Strucker came here Skye feels like she has been on a lock down with Bucky, and that was 12 days ago. She was reading a book when she felt Bucky slump down next to her,

"Brock say anything in training about why we are locked in here?" Bucky asked feeling suffocated from being in the room everyday all day long.

"Nope, but he also keeps be on a tight schedule. He always escorts me to and from training, it feels like we're prisoners." Skye said setting down her book.

"Well I am a prisoner" Bucky grinned at her and she playfully slapped him.

"I think it has to do with the fact Whitehall doesn't want anyone knowing who I am yet. I'm not complaining because I know Ward is on the base somewhere, but this room is getting old." Skye leaned her head back and closed her eyes. She felt the couch shift and then felt Bucky's head on her lap, she smiled and started playing with his hair. She loved the fact they were so comfortable around each other now.

"Well that is a smart idea, anyone could take you if they knew your connection to me." He told her closing his eyes as she played with his hair.

"Yea well it's not like I can't take care of myself I'm a big girl you know." She saw him smirk at that.

"Oh I don't doubt it, but Whitehall won't take the gamble. He thinks if someone gets to you, he loses me, which I guess is true." She didn't say anything to that and just ran her hand through his hair, she knew it relaxed him. She wanted to get out though, she wanted to get some fresh air. Maybe she would talk to Brock, he has been busier than normal but maybe just a nice walk outside would be fine with him.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Damnit" Clint was walking toward Coulson's office they haven't found anything on a missing 0-8-4 that they have been tracking. It seems to have just disappeared. They haven't heard anything from Skye either, since Ward escaped Clint wanted to contact her. He wanted to make sure she was okay, that she was still safe he knew she had her phone, but it was for emergencies only.

"Barton come in," Coulson told him not looking up from his desk, SHIELD was growing slowly but he missed his team being together. May was out with Trip and Hunter tracking Ward, Skye was with Hydra, FitzSimmons were always in the lab, and he missed when they would do missions together.

"I take it the mission didn't go well?" Coulson asked finally looking at him, Barton groaned.

"No we still haven't found anything on the damn 0-8-4 except it turns people to stone. I think if Hydra had it though we would know." He told Coulson, Natasha was also getting frustrated. She went back to the tower for a couple days to refocus, and to see if Stark had anything that would help with the search for the 0-8-4.

"Stark have anything that could help?" Coulson asked hopeful.

"So far no, he hasn't heard anything like it." He slouched in the chair and they just sat in silence.

"Any word from Skye?" Coulson suddenly asked and Clint looked at him confused.

"No, why has something happened?" he suddenly started to panic.

"No I was just wondering, I don't like that she has been gone this long without any contact." Coulson said leaning back.

"I know but she is strong, she can handle whatever they throw at her." Clint told him, he knew she would but he still couldn't help but worry. He just wanted her home.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rania knew she was running out of time, Hydra was searching for her since she stole the obelisk but she needed to bring it to Cal. Walking into his room she saw him smile.

"Rania, I see you have brought me something." He told her watching her lift the case setting it gently on the table and opening it.

"Now pick it up" he instructed and she froze staring at him wide eyed.

"Go ahead, we both need to know" he told her again, she nodded and picked it up. It started glow and she felt warmth flood her, she smiled.

"It worked," she said smiling feeling the cool metal against her hand.

"And now I can find my daughter I can show her, her destiny. By the way is she still with that man Coulson?" Cal asked, he monitored her for a while before she went dark again, he hated how Coulson acted like her father, he was her father SHIELD was the ones who stole her from him.

"No she is no longer with SHIELD, I am not sure where she is." Rania said scarred. Cal roared and threw the table against the wall, he would have to change his approach, and maybe Coulson found out what she was and is keeping her chained up like an animal. No he wouldn't have his daughter go through that.

"I have a plan," He told her shutting the case to the obelisk he strode out of his office, Hydra would help him rescue her, then he would get his revenge.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I have a mission for the soldier," Strucker walked into Whitehall's office smiling, Whitehall looked up from his desk.

"What mission?" Whitehall asked amused.

"We have reports that Black Widow has reemerged from hiding, she is in New York. She is one of the biggest threats to Hydra, and the reason Pierce is dead." Strucker told him, Whitehall mused over it for a couple moments before agreeing.

"I can have him mission ready tomorrow, I will have his handler overlook the mission from here." Whitehall told him and Strucker smiled and left the room. Whitehall went back to overlooking the search for the obelisk, he knew of the women Rania but somehow couldn't find her.

"There is someone else here to see you, says he has something you want." Brock told him from the door, Whitehall was intrigued and nodded. A rugged man walked in sweating a little, but was in an older suit carrying a metal case.

"Hello Mr. Whitehall, I think you have been looking for this." Cal said placing the case on the desk opening it and turning it around for Whitehall to see, his eyes went wide with excitement.

"The obelisk after all this time," Whitehall was standing and smiling.

"What do you want?" he finally asked,

"To help you of course, I can teach you all about it how to unlock it. Just help me destroy someone by the name Phil Coulson." Cal said grimly.

"The new Director of Shield I think I can help you with that. I am afraid this will have to wait until a couple days though. After I can send an asset to finish him off, both our problems solved. Now what do you know of this." Whitehall smiled, and Cal told him of the chosen few of how you needed to find the temple. Whitehall listened intently everything was finally coming together.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Skye and Bucky fell asleep on the couch with his head still in her lap, then she heard a knock on the door. Careful not to wake him she lifted his head softly and placed a pillow underneath it, opening the door.

"We have a mission for the Solider, I need to brief you both." Skye nodded and Brock pushed himself into the room, and looked to where the Solider was laying on the couch Brock started toward him and Skye pulled him back. She didn't need a fight, so she went over and shook him gently he opened his eyes to find her staring down at him, but he knew something was wrong she wasn't smiling she looked worried. He sat up to find Brock in the room with them.

"You are going on a mission tomorrow, you will have 24hours to kill the Black Widow." Brock paused at looked over to Skye, but her face was masked.

"She is in New York but we aren't sure how long she will be there, you need to get in and get out fast. We may have another one for you as soon as you get back." Brock told him and Bucky just nodded.

"You won't be going with him. Whitehall wants you here to run backend." Brock looked at Skye,

"Of course, when will you want him to leave?" Skye asked carefully, it was finally time to get Bucky out.

"Earlier the better, tell one of the guards when you are ready and I will come get you both." Brock told her and then made his way out. Skye took a deep breath, they were going after Natasha. Skye knew she would have to use her phone, she would contact Natasha and get Bucky out even if he didn't know it.

"Skye," Bucky started and she turned to face him, she saw confliction in his eyes that mirrored her own.

"You can finally be free." She told him softly, but he shook his head.

"I can't leave you" he said honestly putting his arms around her waist pulling her close leaning his forehead on hers.

"It will be okay Bucky, this is what we have been waiting for. This is the chance we need, we can get you out." Skye said cupping his cheek but he shook his head again.

"Please don't make me do this, I won't leave you here with them. I can't lose you Skye I," Bucky still held her close trying to find the words, before he could he felt her brush her lips against his. The kiss was soft at first but then grew heated, when they finally broke apart he was smiling breathing all of her in. Her hands went to his chest, he opened his eyes to find her smiling as well looking at him.

"You won't lose me, you will never lose me Bucky." She told him, she knew she had strong feelings for him even if it snuck up on her. She always knew they had a connection though ever since that first night they met. The first time she ever let someone look and feel her scars, she was willing to risk everything for him.

"Come with me, we can leave tonight make a run for it." He told her, then it hit him he would have two missions this week. He could wait for the second one, he could fake Black Widow's death.

"Skye we could wait until the second mission I could get a message to Shield to come and get you while I am on this one, we could make a plan. I could fake Black Widows death, then once I go on my second mission we could run together. Have an extraction in place." He said hopeful, Skye smiled at him.

"Okay we will make a plan." She told him, though she was making her own. He smiled like a kid on Christmas and kissed her again, this kiss was full of passion and hope. She wanted to remember this moment, the moment she might not get again. Once they went to bed he held her close, Skye couldn't sleep planning everything in her mind, and once she was sure he was asleep she went into the bathroom with her phone. He would get out tomorrow, she would just hope he would forgive her. She also wrote him a letter slipping it into a pocket on his mission pants. Crawling back into bed she moved his hair from his face memorizing everything about him. He stirred a little but just brought her closer to him, she smiled finally falling asleep.

Morning came too soon, she looked at the clock it was 5am. She saw he was already getting dressed so she went to do the same. Once they were both ready he hugged her tightly, she went and told the guard to get Brock. She turned and rushed to Bucky once last time, kissing him again and again until the knock on the door came. She held his face in her hands and smiled.

"I will come back doll, don't worry." He kissed her quickly before the door opened. It was time.
