Jimmy was working in the Nest quietly as Clint fired arrows.

"Jimmy, strange question. How come you became friends with Alyssa?" Clint asked suddenly.

"We were both the youngest working in a R&D department. We banded together." Jimmy shrugged.

"I get that. But why are you still friends with her? What made you decide 'I should stay friends with this crazy woman.'"

"I don't know. You made yourself her brother, what made you decide that?"

"I lost most of my marbles years ago. Plus I date a former KGB assassin. You think Alyssa is the craziest person I've met?"

"Point taken."

"But seriously kid, why?"

"Alyssa has her moments where she shows she is in fact a nice person. She was a lot worse before you avengers."

"That makes me even more confused of why you stuck around. You had a crush on her or something?"

"Ha ha, that's very funny Clint." Jimmy rolled his eyes and looked away from the archer.

"Wait… was I right just then?"

"About what?"

"Did you have a crush on Alyssa Stark?"

"She wasn't Stark then."

"Details. And it still counts. Anyhow, is it true?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"I won't tell anyone if it's true."

"No one said it was true."

"You had a crush on Alyssa! Admit it!"

"FINE! I MAYBE HAD A CRUSH ON ALYSSA WHEN WE FIRST BECAME FRIENDS! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! CAN YOU BLAME ME?" Jimmy yelled.

"Um… should I come back later?" Steve said awkwardly at the entrance of the Nest.

"How much did you hear?" Clint asked with a slight smirk.

"Jimmy admit he had a crush on my wife…"

"Jimmy… kid… you are dead." Clint laughed.

"In my defense, you two had not met yet. Nothing happened. You married her and I have a girlfriend. We are fine, right Captain Rogers?" Jimmy added. Steve was silent so Jimmy took the initiative to run away.

"Why do they always run Barton?" Steve asked Clint.

"The naïve just do."

"So, let me get this straight… you knew Bucky?" Alyssa stared at Natasha surprised.

"Yes."

"Before he shot at you?"

"Yes."

"As a… partner?"

"He helped train me as a teenager."

"That is… wow."

"Yes."

"So Bucky being here is weird, right?"

"It was surprising. He wasn't called the Winter Soldier then. Maybe he was. No one ever said."

"What was he like back then?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"He was ruthless. Everyone wanted to be trained by him. He favored me."

"You were favored. I am not surprised."

"He was the best at what he did. I was the best at what I did."

"So you banded together." Alyssa connected the dots.

"The Winter Soldier was impressive in everything he did. There was no choice but to watch and learn." Natasha continued.

"Is that admiration Romanoff?" Alyssa teased.

"Back then? Not just admiration."

"Wow! Natasha are you implying what I think you are implying?"

"What am I implying Stark?"

"That you had a thing for Barnes!"

"Is that what you believe?"

"Yes. And you are not denying it so…"

"Alyssa since when do you care? I thought you wanted me to date Clint?"

"You are dating Clint and I am very happy about that. Can't you let me be a nosey Stark for once?"

"I will not admit to once a very long time ago being attracted to Barnes."

"But you are not saying no. And that is saying so much."

"Alyssa I am not saying anything because Clint and Bucky are about to walk behind us." Natasha whispered to Alyssa.

"…Oh… then whisper it to me."

"Yes. Okay?"

"I TOLD YOU BARTON! SHE DID USED TO LIKE ME!" Bucky yelled.

"SHUT UP BARNES! I WON! YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!" Clint yelled back. Natasha and Alyssa looked behind themselves to see the two boys.

Natasha glared at Alyssa.

"How was I supposed to know that they were listening?" Alyssa shrugged.

"Because one is a super soldier." Natasha deadpanned.

"Then why did you reply?"

"I thought James would have more integrity. Apparently he has been spending too much time with Clint." Natasha went on.

"You love me anyway Nat!"

"Sam, what are you doing?" Steve asked his friend.

"Nothing really." Sam said. Everyone was at the mansion for some reason.

"Then what was that look for?"

"What look?"

"I'm not as naïve as everyone thinks. Please tell me for your own safety that you did not just check out Natasha Romanoff."

"Not what I was doing."

"You sure?"

"Can't you just resume to checking out your own girl in peace and leave me be?"

"Tony's in the room. I would not be in a good position if he were to catch me."

"You really scared of Stark?"

"Why are you changing the subject?"

"Because you accusing me of being interested in Natasha."

"I never said you were interested."

"Shut up Cap."

"You know she is dating Barton."

"I know. I would never ask her out."

"Then why were you looking at her like that?"

"She is hot. It's hard not to look every once and a while. Can you blame me?" Sam looked at Steve.

"I can blame you." Natasha answered as she walked up to the two.

"You might want to take flight Sam. Natasha has her murder face on." Alyssa smirked from across the room.

"I'm… just… bye now." Sam waved before running out of the room.

"Hey Steve?" Bucky greeted his friend. "Can I ask a question?"

"Sure. What you need to ask?"

"How did you know you really liked Alyssa?"

"I don't know. We were friends for a while before and as we spent more time together it changed. Why?"

"Remember the girl I'm dating? Valerie? I think I really like her." Bucky admitted.

"Good for you James. Why did you ask me?"

"Because I needed to know. You and Alyssa have a good relationship. You were just friends first and now look at you two."

"We got married before we fell in love. Not exactly how it's supposed to work."

"So you are trying to tell me that you were just friends and only friends when you two got married? Steve, you expect me to believe that?"

"That's what happened."

"You mean to tell me that you never thought Alyssa was even a little cute?"

"Okay yeah maybe. Maybe I thought she was cute. She's beautiful. And maybe before we got married I wondered what it would be like to kiss her. I even thought about what dating her would be like once or twice."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ROGERS?" Tony yelled, obviously hearing the conversation.

"Um… I have a beautiful wife." Steve panicked and tried to save himself.

"What you say afterword's? About before you had to get married to Alyssa?" Tony asked even when he knew the answer.

"Steve, you are in trouble aren't you?" Bucky looked to his friend.

"When it comes to Alyssa I am always in trouble with Tony." Steve concluded.

"Was all of this some sort of plan? That when you married my daughter for 'safety' that you really just wanted to get close to her?" Tony accused.

"No! Of course not! When Fury told us about that plan all I thought was Alyssa's safety!"

"Tony, do you really think that Steve Rogers could come up with a plan like that on his own? No offence to Steve but… he sucks with women! I'm surprised he got as far as he did! It took him over a year!" Bucky interrupted.

"Nice to know you have faith in me…" Steve said sarcastically to his friend.

"Then you don't know your friend very well, he didn't even tell me they were getting married. They just showed up and surprise!" Tony complained.

"Not my fault. That was Aly's job."

"And now you are blaming her!"

"She takes full responsibility for that!"

"Tony do you just like to find reasons to get mad at Steve purely because he is married to your daughter?" Bucky asked the billionaire.

"I will not be responding to that bionic boy." Tony looked to Bucky.

"So a yes." Bucky laughs. "Steve, your in-law is a nut job."

"I know…" Steve sighed.

"Okay." Alyssa said over the phone when she walked into Clint and Natasha's apartment. Bobbi Morse was watching her.

"I got it Jane." Alyssa sighed into the phone. Natasha then stopped what she was doing to look at the younger brunette.

"I'll see what I can do. Talk later." Alyssa hung the phone up and sighed.

"What is going on with Jane?" Natasha asked.

"Thor broke a blender." Alyssa sighed. "Now I am Thor-proofing a blender."

"How do you Thor-proof things?" Bobbi asked curiously.

"It's a process. I swear I could not do what Jane does. Thor is lucky that girl loves him so much." Alyssa added. "To think I used to be a little jealous Jane was dating the god of thunder."

"You what?" Steve said walking into the room with Clint.

"Oops." Alyssa looked like a deer in the headlights.

"Cap, you might want to keep an eye on Alyssa when Thor is in town…" Clint joked as he tried to cause trouble.

"You used to like Thor?" Steve looked at Alyssa.

"Well can you blame me? Have you seen his arms?" Alyssa went on, which was not exactly helping.

"What about me?" Steve looked at the girl.

"I like your arms too. I like a whole lot of you actually. I more than like you. And I married you. You don't have to worry or anything. You win."

"You married me because you had too."

"But I decided to stay." Alyssa pointed out.

"How am I supposed to compete with a god?" Steve asked.

"You don't?" Clint suggested, still not helping.

"There is no competition Steve. You win every time."

"Greetings fellow Avengers and friends!" Thor greeted the next time he was in Malibu.

"Hey Thor." Alyssa smiled and waved at Thor.

"Hi… excuse me a minute." Steve greeted and headed towards Alyssa. Steve picked her up and carried her out of the room.

"Steve… what are you doing?" Alyssa questioned.

"Keeping you away from Thor!"

"Oh gosh not this again!"

Next chapter: Valentines Day. Sounds odd as this chapter will be posted in October but whatever.
