Steve

The clattering plates and silverware was all he had listened to as he ate his food. He had lost count of how much he had eaten, but he was sure Natasha would tell him later. He ate his food quietly, at least he hoped he did. His mind was not at the cookout presently, it was far away on what was going on while they were laughing and carrying on with life. He had spent time thinking about it before, but he pushed the thoughts away before they left. He didn't know what the plan was, but he knew Niko wasn't going to just lie down and die, he's too stubborn for that.

The idea really got Steve thinking, what was the plan? Was Niko going to attack a city, he wouldn't put it beneath him, but when Niko first surfaced he wanted to kill Bucky, and that was really it. He didn't care about world domination, or about a government, unless you count the one time he tried to blow up Moscow. The key word that kept floating around in Steve's mind was 'trying'. Steve thought about all the things that Niko had done and how every time they came out on top. What if this time it was different, what if he wins? Steve knew that he wouldn't let that happen, but Niko was looking for Sean. The idea of having Sean working with Niko made Steve worried. Sean wasn't just some guy, he literally almost killed all the Avengers by himself. Yelena is helping Niko as well, she turned the Avengers upside down and inside out, all to kill Natasha. Steve looked at Natasha, she was talking to Clint and laughing, Steve took a breath. He wasn't going to let Yelena kill her, she already tried twice. Steve hid his frown by taking a bite of a hamburger.

He continued to think about it, he trusted that everyone would do their job and they'd stop them, but right now it was still up in the air if Sean would even work with Niko, if they were lucky, and they never were. Sean would kill Niko, but Steve seriously doubt it. "Steve?" Natasha's voice asked.

Steve came out of his thoughts, he blinked and looked at Natasha "Yeah?" he asked

"You okay down there?" Bucky asked from across the table. Steve nodded "Sorry, just thinking"

"About what?" Clint asked as he took a sip from his glass. Steve smiled "I was just thinking about all of us" he lied.

Clint chuckled "Cheesy, completely you"

Everyone had a laugh at that and Steve smiled and nodded. He hid the fact that he was worried, he just lied to everyone. Steve looked at Natasha and she smiled at him, but no one could read her eyes like he could. She saw right through his lie, he gave her a slight nod and she looked away and began to talk to Laura and Hill. Steve took a slow deep breath and then a hand tapped his arm. Steve looked and Lila was standing there. "You want to see my new drawings?" she asked

Steve looked at his food and he realized he had lost his appetite, he nodded "I would love to"

Lila seemed to take the initiative and grabbed his hand and Steve quickly stood up so she didn't hurt herself trying to pull him along. Everyone kept talking and laughing as Steve and Lila left. Natasha glanced over and saw the back of Steve as he walked up the stairs. She looked away and smiled as she continued to talk to the others.

Steve climbed the stairs behind Lila, his boots made the steps creak. Lila took a breath "Dad's been meaning to fix those"

Steve only smiled "I'm sure he spends all his time with you guys"

"He does" she confirmed as they came to the top of the stairs. Steve eyed the end of the hallway the guest room was now a decorated door that obviously was now a nursery. Lila stood at her door and she turned too looked at Steve. He looked down at her, she smiled up at him. "What?" Steve asked

Lila shrugged "nothing" she said as she opened the door. Steve followed her as she walked into her room, he slowly took a step forward when the light flicked on. Steve stared into the room, there were drawings everywhere, and they were taped up onto the wall. Steve smiled as he saw drawings from, trees to even a mountain. Lila turned and smiled at him "Welcome to my collage" she said.

Steve smirked at the word, she knew what it meant. "You've improved" he said looking at a picture of Donald Duck. Lila smiled and put her arms behind her back and intertwined her fingers. "Well I had a good teacher"

Steve smiled down at her and he put his hand on her head, he lightly rubbed her hair. "Any new ones?"

Lila turned and pulled out a wooden box. She set it on her bed "Daddy made it" she said as she lifted the lid. Steve saw it was stacked full of drawings. He sat down on the edge of her bed as she pulled them out. She handed them to him, her heart was fluttering as she showed him drawings that no one had seen before. Steve held them in his hands and looked at the first one. It was of a star, clearly not a real one, but it was bright and colorful, with purple at its core and bright orange and yellow radiating outward. Steve went to the next one and he saw a drawing of a beaver. He could tell it was her first time drawing one, it was pretty good though. If she was this good at this age, imagine when she was twenty. Lila would probably be better than him. He couldn't help but smile at the thought.

Lila eyed Steve closely as he looked at drawing after drawing, then he got to the one that she widened her eyes to. It wasn't finished, actually she thought she'd thrown it out. Steve was smiling and his eyes looked at the drawing. It was of a man and woman, they were standing close together and the woman was holding something, it wasn't done yet. Steve looked up to see Lila's nervous face "Who is this?" Steve asked.

Lila sighed "No one, I thought I threw that one out." Steve frowned "Why did you want to throw it out?"

"I just didn't want to finish it"

Steve nodded, he knew what that was like, there were plenty of drawings that he never finished, and they usually found their way into his waste bin next to his desk. Steve looked at the drawing he noticed the man had blond hair and the woman had red hair. He frowned "Lila, is this me and Natasha?"

Lila took a breath and she sat down next to him. "Yeah" she admitted.

"Steve smiled "What is Natasha supposed to be holding?" he asked, his mind had an idea of what it was.

Lila looked up at him "I recently asked mommy if you and Auntie Nat were going to have a baby?"

Steve felt his heart drop, but it wasn't because of what she said, it was her face as she said it. Her eyes wouldn't look at him and her shoulders were slumped. Steve frowned "What's wrong?' he asked.

"I got the talk" Lila said

"Oh" Steve said, he barely remembered his talk, it involved his father sitting him down and then something embarrassing, the memory stopped there, he probably suppressed it. Lila nodded "Since I kept asking why when mommy said no"

Steve nodded, Lila looked up at Steve "Auntie Nat can't have a baby can she?" she asked. Steve could tell Lila was looking for conformation. Steve took a deep breath "Yeah" he said softly. Lila nodded and she sniffed "That's why I stopped drawing it"

Steve set the drawings back into the box and he put his arm around Lila and she instantly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Steve held her close he smiled, but it was a sad one. He instantly thought back to his coma, Grant his son in his other life he created with Peggy. He took a deep breath and he sat there holding Lila as she pressed her face against him and she was silently crying. Steve could feel her tears soaking into his shirt, she was young, but she understood a lot, too much. He took another long breath and Lila kept her eyes shut as tears slowly leaked from the sides and burned down her cheeks.

A knock came from the door, Steve looked up and Lila opened her eyes. She sniffed and the door opened. Natasha's red hair came around the door first. She looked at them and frowned a she noticed Lila was crying. "Hey, everything okay?" She asked.

Lila let go of Steve and hopped down from her bed and ran toward Natasha and hugged her around the waste tightly. Natasha put her hands on her and she lightly patted her back. "Sweetie" she said. Her eyes glanced at Steve and he tilted his head. Natasha got Lila to unwrap her arms from her waist and she knelt down. Lila wiped her cheeks and sniffed. Natasha rubbed her hands down her arms "What is it?" she asked.

Lila only looked at Natasha and gave her another hug, Natasha wrapped her arms around her and held her close. Lila's face dug into her shoulder. Natasha looked at Steve, Lila took a breath "Is it true?"

"What is?" Natasha asked in a soft voice.

Steve frowned and he felt tears coming to his eyes, Lila already knew the answer, but somehow she understood how much it sucked. He stood up and he walked over and knelt down behind Lila and he looked at Natasha. Lila took a sharp breath as she held back a sob "That you can't have a baby?" she asked, she already knew what the answer was, but Lila didn't entirely understand it all, but the news made her sad. Natasha felt her heart skip a beat and her eyes widened slightly "Yes" she said softly.

Lila's arm tightened around her and for some reason Natasha felt tears coming to her eyes. She had already dealt with this, accepted it, but something about having Lila hugging her and crying was making her cry. She looked at Steve and he had tears forming in his eyes too and he wrapped his arms around them both and for the first time Steve held back a sob as he kept thinking about it. He had always hated the fact that they couldn't have a baby, but he always tried to cheer Natasha up about it, but this time Steve didn't have to comfort someone, and he was feeling it, all of it. His vision became blurry as tears formed and fell down his cheeks. Natasha took his hand in hers and he shut his eyes and he clenched every muscle as he sobbed silently. His face turning red, he sobbed and Lila let go of Natasha and in the small space she was allowed she gave Steve and hug, he felt Lila's small arms wrap around him and it only made him cry harder. Natasha put her arms around him and he was shaking from his sobbing, he was keeping it quiet. Natasha had tears falling down her face, but she was really just comforting Steve.

She knew he was sad about it too, but he was always comforting her, now it was her turn to comfort him. All the memories of what she thought Captain America was like, the image he portrayed, then meeting him and getting to know him, she had never seen him cry, not to this extent. But to see him sobbing in her arms only made her heart break, she bit her lip as she held back tears. She didn't want to cry, because if she did, she didn't know if she would ever stop.

Niko

The base in Siberia was busy at work with their project. Niko was standing on the long catwalks that were high above his plan. He stood with his hands behind his back as he watched the very thing that will help being built. Niko took a deep breath, the thought of finally killing Barnes was making him feel anxious. He wanted to do it now, but he knew it would only end in failure. He had two goals to accomplish in one go, they needed to be perfectly timed. If not there would be a gap that the Avengers could use, he didn't want to give them that, and he wanted to make them feel helpless. He smiled as he pictured it going down in his mind. He laughed softly as he opened his eyes and looked at his little project. That only made him laugh more, it was close, and the time is coming for the Avengers to feel what it's like to be helpless and alone.

Niko heard someone coming and he turned to see Yelena. Niko thought it was Natalia for a moment, but the blonde hair said otherwise. She looked down at the project, "It's almost finished"

Niko nodded "Years of planning, it's coming on fast"

"I just hope your plan works" She said

Niko wanted to smack her for not trusting him, he smiled "It'll work, I found this a few years ago"

"I just think it's crazy that they just left it"

"Well it'll be time for all of them to feel fear, they won't be on top this time"

"Don't go underestimating them"

Niko looked at her and squinted slightly "Like you?"

She looked at him "I underestimated Captain America, if he wasn't there, Natalia would have died"

Niko took a deep breath "If the Captain wasn't there for my plan, I would have killed Barnes, and Natalia"

Yelena frowned "She's mine, just remember that"

Niko nodded "You attacked her emotions as much as her body, can you do it again?"

Yelena felt her heart flutter and she put her hand into a fist "Any time"

Niko nodded "good, because I have a mission for you"

Yelena frowned "What?"

Niko smiled, and then Magnus suddenly appeared. Yelena looked back at Niko's project as Niko turned toward Magnus. "Yes my friend?"

Magnus titled his head and he handed him a data pad. Niko took it and turned it over so he could look at it. He read the information and smiled "We know where he is" he said softly

"Richardson?" Yelena asked

Niko gripped the data pad tightly "He's in Maine"

Yelena chuckled "Not that far from New York"

"Sometimes far is not the best option"

Niko frowned slightly "How's the shield coming?"

Magnus put up his hand and opened his palm, Niko looked down and he saw the small data pad that Magnus kept with him at all times. Niko saw that the shield was almost ready, he smiled "We'll be adding an ally very soon"

"What makes you think he'll want to help us?"

Niko bit his lip slightly and put his hand into a fist, it would be so easy. He turned to look at her "Once I give him the shield, he'll come around"

"Really?" she said, not impressed.

"And also the fact that he can kill Captain America"

"He failed the first time"

"He wasn't trying the first time, this time, Captain America won't be around to save his friends"

Yelena felt a smile come to her lips, and she would be free to kill Natalia, and with the Captain dead, she would be upset. It almost felt like a fantasy. Niko nodded and turned to Magnus "Tell me immediately as soon as it's ready, I don't want to keep our friend waiting"

Magnus nodded and disappeared as quickly as he appeared. Niko turned back to his project, in a day's time, he could take it out for a spin. The thought made him smile and laugh.

Wanda

Laura was hard at work, even though she didn't have to be, then again she yelled at Clint for not letting her do anything. Clint had retreated, which Wanda had never seen Clint looked scared. She had to hold back laughter as he retreated back to the hallway and Laura called after him to go back to the grill. Wanda hadn't seen him since, she was also enlisted to help Laura. She was washing the dishes. Wanda stood next to her.

"So what's it like living at the Avenger Facility?" Laura asked

Wanda was silent for a moment "Different"

"How?"

"Well I grew up living in run down rooms, in Sokovia, Pietro found every place we ever stayed. He also did his best to make it livable"

"He sounds nice"

"Yeah" Wanda said silently "I miss him"

Laura nodded "Clint told me about him, and how he annoyed him"

Wanda laughed "He did, I wish he was here"

Laura swallowed and held back her words, she just stayed silent and continued to wash the dishes. Wanda finished a plate and she glanced at Laura "You have it under control?"

Laura nodded "I am the commander in the kitchen"

Wanda chuckled as she turned away from the sink and began to walk toward the door. Wanda looked at the pictures that were hung up on the wall. She saw a picture of Clint and Laura, just them. Probably before they had kids. She got to the front door a few seconds later, she pushed the door open and walked out onto the porch. Clint was cleaning the grill, he was scraping all the charred meat off the grill. He seemed to have noticed her behind him "How's it going?"

Wanda walked forward and smiled "Not bad" she said leaning on the fence around the porch. Clint looked back "Well you finally visited"

"I know, I'm sorry I couldn't find time earlier"

Clint shook his head "it's okay, Lila likes you"

Wanda smiled as she thought about Lila, she was very straight forward and headstrong. Clint looked in through the window and he saw Cooper staring at them, or more like staring at Wanda. Cooper quickly looked away when he saw Clint looking his way. Clint chuckled and shook his head "Cooper likes you to" he said

Wanda noticed, she walked closer to the grill, Clint was still scrapping the black charred meat off of it. "The sad part about being able to feel people's emotions"

Clint looked at her "Suck" he said with a hint of a smile on his lips. Wanda smirked "You don't have to be sorry" she said feeling Clint's mind wander a bit. Clint looked down "Well I'm sorry for my son"

"Boys will be boys" Wanda said

Clint nodded "Yeah, he just recently got into girls, they aren't gross anymore"

Wanda chuckled "I had to deal with that with Pietro"

Clint whistled "How'd that go?"

"I got used to seeing girls leave our place"

"Well, he was a sneaky bastard"

"Clint can I tell you something?" she asked, her heart fluttering and she tensed up. Clint stopped scrapping and gave her his full attention "What's up?"

"Well I've been thinking about Pietro lately"

Clint nodded "I know it's only been a year"

"Yeah" Wanda looked down and took a moment, her hands started to shake slightly as she pictured Struker's face and his smile after she killed those three men. "I keep thinking about what it would be like if he was still here"

Clint set the brush down and he sighed "You can't do that to yourself Wanda"

Wanda bit her lip slightly and she felt tears filling her eyes "I know"

Clint sighed "Come here" he said and he brought Wanda into an embrace. Wanda buried her face into his shoulder and she felt the tears stream down her face. "I miss him so much" she said into Clint's shoulder.

Clint rubbed her head and nodded "I know, I owe him"

Wanda only cried harder after he said that. Clint took a deep breath "it's okay, sometimes we just have to let it out"

Wanda buried her face harder into his shoulder and her eyes burned as tears soaked into his shirt. Clint held her closer and her sobs became less and soon she stopped crying. She pulled her face away from his shoulder, which was now dark from her tears. Clint sighed "Better?"

Wanda gave him a shrug "When does it stop hurting?"

Clint took a breath "It doesn't, you just learn to deal with the pain"

Wanda closed her eyes and she nodded "Need any help?" she asked looking at the grill. Clint glanced back at it and shook his head "Nah, do you know where Bucky is?"

Wanda shrugged. "I haven't seen him since lunch"

Clint nodded "I hope Hill and him didn't go off to have sex"

"They do that a lot" Wanda said, she heard a lot of things.

Clint chuckled and he looked at the barn and Bucky was standing there with Hill. "Oh, please tell me they didn't" he said.

Bucky

He took a deep breath as he wrapped his arm around Hill. He could see Clint and Wanda, they were both looking in their direction. Hill frowned "Do they think we had sex in the barn?"

Bucky shrugged "Maybe we did" his hand tightened around her ass. Hill's eyes lit up and she put her hand on his chest and they kissed. Hill kept her eyes closed as their lips pressed against each other. Bucky pulled away and he looked over at Clint and he gave him a wave. Clint seemed to lower his head and go back to cleaning the grill. Hill took a breath "Well, you having a good time?" she asked.

Bucky turned his head toward her "Yeah, feels weird"

"Good weird?"

"A very good weird"

Hill put her head on his shoulder, Bucky held her closer, like if he didn't hold on he would lose her. Hill smiled "You need to tell Fury"

Bucky nodded "I know, bad timing"

Hill shrugged "Things happen when they're supposed to"

"Clint told me that earlier"

Hill held back a small chuckled, that would be Clint. Bucky wondered what Steve was up to. They were in the same house and they barley saw each other. Bucky understood why though, they both had their own things, Bucky had Hill, so he spent all his time with her. Steve was the leader of the Avengers and he was with Natasha, he spends all his time with them. Bucky took a deep breath, Hill frowned "You okay?"

Bucky seemed not to have heard her as he continued to stare at the Barton house. Hill shifted slightly "Bucky?" she said, still no reaction. She cocked an eyebrow "James?"

Bucky blinked and he looked at Hill "Yeah?" he asked

Hill laughed "You were zoned out"

"I was?"

"Yeah, I said something to you twice, you responded the third time"

"Sorry, just…"

"Thinking" she finished for him, he paused and smiled. "Yeah"

"About what?"

Bucky didn't speak, his jaw only stiffened as he stared at her. Hill was waiting for an answer, Bucky just stood there in silence as if he was desperately thinking of something to say. Hill smiled "Don't lie" she added, knowing that would mess with him.

Bucky felt his heart jump and he sighed "I don't know"

Hill shrugged "Middle ground" she nodded "not bad"

Bucky frowned "That wasn't what I was going with"

"Then what?"

Bucky went to speak, but his words got lost and only small sounds came out "I don't know, I was looking at Barton's house and I zoned out"

"Well at least you're not lying" Hill said

Bucky took a deep breath "Is there something you want to tell me?" Bucky asked

Hill shook her head "No, why, do you think I'm not telling you something?"

"You've been acting weird for a couple of months"

Hill shrugged and walked toward the house. Bucky took a breath and followed. "Maria" he said

Hill continued to walk toward the house, her hands clenched in fists. She didn't know if she wanted to tell him, not now. But when would the best time be, after, she had no idea how long everything with Niko would go on. That was only half the reason, what if he freaked out? They've talked and it doesn't seem like he would, but it wasn't happening when they spoke, now it is. Bucky was walking in long strides to keep up with her, he reached out and grabbed her arm "Maria"

Hill turned to look at him, he saw that she was stiff, her hands were in fists. Bucky frowned "What?" he asked

Hill swallowed and she opened her mouth to speak. "Hey Barnes." Bucky didn't look toward the voice. He looked at Hill, he took a deep breath "We'll talk later" he said, he could clearly see that Hill wanted to get out of the moment. Bucky looked at Clint "Yeah" he said.

Clint smirked "You're good with knives right?"

Bucky frowned "Why?"

"Well, how do you feel about a little competition?"

Bucky had no idea who got this idea, a knife throwing competition between Hawkeye, Winter Soldier, and Captain America. Clint had a large stump from a tree as the target, and there they were. Bucky looked at Steve "You're going to lose" Bucky said to him.

Steve chuckled "Hope you don't cry afterward, that'll just be sad"

Clint chuckled at them "You're both going down"

Bucky scoffed "You're talking to me a sharpshooter and Steve throws that shield like it's his life"

Steve frowned "Don't mock the shield"

The three of them heard laughter behind them, they looked and everyone was watching them. Natasha smiled "I honestly don't know whose going to win"

"My husband will" Laura said

Clint pointed at her "Thank you babe"

Hill chuckled "Bucky, will win" she said

Laura looked over at her "He isn't half as good as mine"

Hill frowned "Don't start talking before it starts, you may be surprised"

Natasha laughed "We all know Steve will win, have you seen him throw anything?"

Laura sighed "Of course you'd pick your own"

Clint, Bucky, and Steve all looked at each other as their partners continued to argue. Clint waved his hands "Babe, let's not start a war" he said

Laura looked at him and pointed "Shut up" she said and went back to talking at Natasha and Hill. Clint raised his eyebrows and Bucky and Steve laughed "You barked up the wrong tree" Bucky said and he looked at Hill and went to speak "Barnes" she warned and held out her hand with a raised finger. Bucky frowned "I think I just Harrison Forded"

Steve laughed, he remembered watching some movies with him in it when he first started being Natasha's partner. Steve looked at his two friends in defeat "Let me show you guys how it's done"

Clint and Bucky held back a laugh, like Steve could calm three women down. Steve sighed "Laura. Hill. Nat." He said.

They all shushed him, Steve frowned "Can we get on with the game?" he asked loudly

Natasha was the only one of the three who stopped talking, she chuckled. Steve looked at Hill, then back at Laura. "Ladies" he said

Laura and Hill looked at Steve. He nodded "We're going to start the game, can you stop?"

Laura shrugged "For now" she said.

Hill looked at Laura "well, let the best husband win"

Natasha looked at Steve and shrugged. He turned around and looked at Clint and Bucky. "I don't think I've ever felt more pressure than right now" Clint said

Steve chuckled, "Okay, Barton I'm guessing you have the knives?"

Clint pulled out three knives, "Okay, center is ten, the second closest is five and the outward is one. Whoever has the highest score after five rounds wins."

Bucky looked at Steve "Sounds simple enough"

Clint held out the three knives to Bucky "Ladies first"

Bucky cocked an eyebrow "Nat I thinks he mean you"

Clint frowned "I'd still win"

Natasha chuckled "Just get the competition started"

Bucky took the three knives and he took a deep breath "Do you have a marked area to stand?"

"Twenty feet from the target, so, right here" Clint said pointing toward the ground. Bucky nodded, twenty feet was nothing, Bucky stood in his stance and he held the knives in his metal hand. He took one and he squinted slightly and adjusted to the wind. He brought the knife back and he launched his arm forward and the knife bolted from his fingers and flipped through the air and drove itself into the very center of the target. Clapping came from behind and he pulled back the second one and threw it. The knife hit the very center again. Bucky launched the third on and it hit the center, but one fell off the target. Clint clapped "Okay twenty, one fell off"

Bucky shrugged "Okay, beat that"

"I'll get all three" Clint said

Bucky rolled his eyes slightly. Bucky stood next to Steve and gave him a look. Steve only laughed. Clint stood ready and he threw the first knife. It went directly into the center. There came a loud whoop from Laura. "Thank you babe" Clint said

Steve and Bucky looked at each other as Clint threw the second one. The center again. Clint chuckled and held the third one out to Bucky "Thirty" he said

Bucky crossed his arms "Jinxed yourself"

Clint titled his head and threw the knife and it went into the center. He opened his arms wide "Doesn't look jinxed to me"

Bucky rolled his eyes, Steve patted his on the shoulder. Clint quickly pulled the knives out and handed them to Steve. "We'll understand if you just hit the target"

Steve gave Clint and calm smile and he nodded, he looked back at Natasha, she was staring at him. He took a deep breath and looked at the target. He grabbed the first one and he held it at his side. Bucky and Clint watched him closely, waiting for him to raise the knife. Steve stood there for a few seconds, Clint raised an eyebrow "Worried?" Steve looked at him "Not in the slightest"

Clint gave him a nod and Steve quickly threw the knife and it went into the center. Bucky had seen the technique before, Clint was just surprised. "Did you even throw it?"

Bucky smiled "He always threw like that, you should have seen him play baseball on the street"

"You mean when I threw the ball and then got hit in the head?" Steve said, keeping his eyes on the target.

Bucky chuckled "The only time you played baseball"

Steve sighed and threw the second one and it hit the center. Steve didn't even wait as he threw the third one and it hit the center. Clint whistled "I didn't know we were showing off Cap"

Bucky smirked, Steve looked at him "Not showing off" he said with his white teeth shining. Clint cocked an eyebrow "Okay, show off time"

Steve gathered the knives and handed them to Bucky. Bucky took a deep breath and he smiled "Show off time" he tossed one knife into the air and he quickly, threw, both knives under handed and they went into the center and he jumped and kicked the third knife and it soared into the center. Loud clapping came from the ladies, Bucky looked at Clint "Beat that"

Clint smiled "Challenge accepted"

Natasha looked at Laura "Did they forget it's a game?"

Laura shrugged "This is more entertaining"

Hill sighed "Like Clint can do that"

Laura looked at Hill, "just watch"

Clint stood ready and he threw the first knife and it went into the center and he immediately flipped forward and threw the last two as he flipped and they went into the center. Steve clapped "Not bad, I think that's more impressive Buck"

Bucky shrugged "Just a flip"

Clint laughed "Just a flip, well that flip kicked your ass"

"Clint" Laura said and she pointed toward Lila and Cooper. Clint nodded "Sorry kids"

"You owe a dollar" Lila said.

Clint nodded "Okay, Steve, do better than that"

Steve took the knives and he took a deep breath and he turned around and faced Natasha. He smiled and he held all three knives in his hand. Natasha smiled at him, Steve twisted and went down on one knee and threw all three knives and thy all went into the center. Clint whistled "Damn"

"That's another dollar!" Lila called out.

Clint nodded "Put it on my tab"

Lila yelled back "Okay!"

Everyone laughed and Bucky pulled the knives out "Last one, okay now we really show off"

Clint clapped "Yay"

Steve laughed, Bucky stood ready and he took all three knives and he tossed them all up into the air. He flipped and kicked one with his foot and it went into the center of the target, Bucky quickly pushed off the ground and he caught the second knife and he threw it like a Frisbee and it curved through the air and hit the center. The third one came down and he caught it in between his metal fingers and flicked it forward and it went into the center. Hill clapped loudly. Laura glared as she clapped.

Clint nodded "We have to play Frisbee some time, that curve was beautiful"

Bucky smirked "Thanks"

Clint took a deep breath and he held the three knives and he jumped into the air and twisted his whole body and he threw two knives as he turned and they went into the center and as he hit the ground and tossed the third and kicked it, it went into the center. Laura gave another whoop and Clint stood and brushed off some grass. Clint laughed "Okay, Cap amaze us"

Steve grabbed the three knives, the center of the target was now shredded from all the stab marks. He took a deep breath and he took one knife and he dropped it, he balanced it on his foot and kicked it forward. The knife flew forward, Steve felt like everything was moving in slow-motion and he threw the second one and they scrapped against each other. Steve turned around and tossed the third knife backward with a high arch and it slowly flipped through the air. Everyone watched as it went toward the target where the other two knives were now in the center. The third one flipped and then sunk in the center at an angle.

Clint shook his head "I don't think you best us, but impressive"

Steve chuckled "I wasn't trying to beat you"

Bucky chuckled and he quickly grabbed the knife "Hey punk, just like in forty-two"

Steve smirked as Bucky threw the knife at Steve. Natasha felt herself run forward involuntary, but Steve side stepped the knife and caught it by the tip of the blade and he turned and threw the knife and it went through the target since the wood was so weak. Bucky laughed "That was better than the one from forty-two."

Natasha frowned and exhaled "You threw knifes in forty-two?" she asked Steve.

Steve shrugged "We hung out at a lot of pubs and it was a dart" he called back to Bucky.

Bucky shrugged "They're close enough"

Steve chuckled and he looked at Natasha "Do I get a kiss?"

Natasha sighed "I hate you right now", Steve smiled "How bad?"

Natasha eyed him and planted one on him, Cooper stared and Lila adverted her eyes slightly. Natasha pulled away and Steve looked at her, his heart was racing and his ears were warm. They all looked at the soldier and spy and Steve glanced around and he blushed. Natasha smirked "You'll find out later"

Steve felt his blood begin to rush from his head to down south. He swallowed "I'm looking forward to it"

Clint walked up "Okay, that's enough do me eyes" he said to Natasha glancing at Cooper and Lila. She only smirked.
