It had been a couple of days since Felicity's discovery and she more or less spent every moment she could trying to figure out what to do next. Scott and hope had snuck into Osborne industries to check the area out, but when they arrived it was empty and they had relocated. Felicity was after some sort of trail that could lead them into the right direction.

She glanced up at the clock, she had been sat here more or less 8 hours straight. Pepper had left some food for her and it had been untouched. The cups of coffee surrounded the work area. She was all alone in the office as Tony she presumed was still down in the lab working away himself. He was trying to make sure that everyone would be kept out of danger.

Felicity burrowed her face into her hands for a few moments, there. Just be something she could do. Norman didn't know that she knew it was him behind everything and with her becoming the new CEO and talks of building new relationships with companies she could always try and find a way to contact him. But Tony would never agree to let her to do that.

"I think you need to take a break." Felicity could hear the familiar voice of Bucky saying behind her, she had been so in grossed in her own thoughts she hadn't heard him enter. She felt his hands resting on her shoulders, squeezing them gently.

Felicity put down her hands and leaned back, gently resting on the back of her chair and Bucky. She let out a sigh, "I can't just take a break. What do you think will happen if everything comes out."

Bucky turned her chair around so she was now facing him. "And what happens when something happens and you're too tired to get to your tablet."Felicity didn't say anything, but just looked up at Bucky. She knew he was right but she didn't want to admit it, "come on" Bucky guided Felicity up and led her out of the room.

Felicity let out a groan as she made her way towards Bucky and Steve's quarters, "I really shouldn't have stayed in one position for so long" she said rubbing the back of her neck. "Even my legs ache"

Bucky guided Felicity to her room, "come on a good sleep will help." He told her as he encouraged her to get into bed. Once she was in bed, Felicity looked at Bucky who was getting in to bed next to her. She was going to say something, but decided against it. They both laid there in bed on their backs looking up at the ceiling.

"Bucky" Felicity said after a few moments of silence, she turned her head to face him when she heard him say hmm. He was now looking at her, Felicity paused and went to open her mouth, but quickly stopped herself, "thank you" she said instead. She wanted to say something else to him, but now wasn't the time. How was she supposed to ask him what was going on with them or ask if they were going to go another date.

Bucky gave her a small smile, he positioned himself so he was now on his side and Felicity felt him wrap his arms around her and pull her into him. "Don't thank me, I'm just looking out for my girl." Felicity couldn't help but smile at that comment, she was relieved that her face was currently in his chest as she was sure she had turned red at that comment.

Felicity felt Bucky turn on to his back and she continued to cuddle up next to him, with her head on his chest. Next thing she knew she was fast asleep.

The next morning

"Felicity" she could hear Tony saying as he entered her room waking her up. "I've been looking for you everywhere." There was a slight pause as she started waking up and rubbing her eyes, "what is he doing here?" His tone changing.

Felicity looked over and she was still tangled up with Bucky who was now awake. "What do you want Tony? What's happened?" Felicity asked now sitting sitting up and looking at him.

"Your asking me what's happened, shouldn't you be telling me what's happened here?"

"You aren't my dad Tony, I don't ask what you and pepper get up to," she watched as Tony pulled a face.

"Do I need to threaten him? Do the whole if you hurt my sister act?"

Felicity couldn't help but be relieved with Tony's reaction. "Nah, just let me borrow a iron suit and I will handle the rest." Felicity now moved herself out of bed, "do you guys mind stepping out and I can meet you when I'm changed."

She watched as they both nodded and left her room. She quickly got changed and she could only imagine how awkward it must be, and she hoped that Steve was in the room with them. Felicity exited her room and as predicted you could cut the tension with a knife, it was extremely awkward.

"Felicity, do you mind if I have a quick word with you?" Bucky asked, nodding to her room. She nodded and went back in there followed by Bucky.

"I just want to say, be safe." He told her, giving her a hug.

"That was weird," she told him, as they now left the room.

"You ready?" Felicity asked Tony, gesturing with her head towards the door. Tony nodded and followed her lead out the door.

"I didn't know you had a thing for fossils" Tony said, after a few moments of silence. "He's old enough to be your grandfather."

Felicity couldn't help but laugh at the comment, "and the girls you've brought home before pepper were young enough to be your daughter." Felicity chuckled, "so what's going on?" She tried to change the subject quickly.

"Board meeting," Tony told her, "Osborne are trying to get in,"

Felicity listened closely as Tony explained that Osborne was trying to get his way into the company through the board of directors. She knew something bad was happening with this. She followed her brothers lead and she seriously wished she hadn't dragged herself into this and just stayed at home.

Bucky

Bucky checked the clock, it had been six hours since Tony and Felicity rushed off. He was starting to get worried. He knew she would be okay because she was with Tony, but it didn't stop him.

"You know your gonna mark the floors with that pacing" Steve told him as he entered the common room with Natasha.

"You know stark wouldn't let anything to her," she smirked as she sat down.

Bucky knew they were right, Felicity would be safe. After a while, he began to relax. That was until Tony came flying into the common room, in his iron man suit.

"Tony, what's happened?" Natasha said. Bucky looked at Tony, his suit was highly damaged.

"Stark, where's Felicity?" Bucky practically shouted.

Tony's mask disappeared, so they could see him. "They've got her" he said, "we were ambushed,"
