Bucky's POV

Bucky slept through the night perfectly. He opened his eyes and looked down at Ally laying over his chest, her hand over his stomach, leg across his. He smiled and tugged her closer, earning a hum from her. He hadn't intended to tell her that he loved her yet, but seeing the way she came undone just from his mouth, he realized he didn't want to wait any longer. He still struggled with just taking her right there, but he was still so scared. He was afraid of hurting her.

He drew lazy circles on her back until she stirred awake, lifting her head to look at him. "Good morning beautiful." He told her. She smiled and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "Morning." He leaned up to kiss her again, his flesh hand running up and down her thigh. She rolled until she was on top of him, holding herself up on either side of his head. "Tell me you love me." She said to him. He took his metal hand and brushed hair out of her face, holding her cheek in it. "I love you Ally." He whispered. Her eyes were glossy as she leaned down to kiss him, resting her forehead on his. "I love you so much Bucky."

Bucky and Ally were in the living room watching tv when Steve found them. "Hey, we've got a mission." They followed Steve into the briefing room, where the rest of the team was waiting on them. Steve threw some files up on the screen and Bucky stiffened.

"This is a Hydra base in Romania, minimal guards, it looks to just be a weapons holding facility." Steve told them. They would be going in to kill and destroy the compound. "We're going to take myself, Nat, Ally, Rhodey, Sam, Wanda and Pietro. Shouldn't be gone long, a few days at most." Steve told the team they'd be leaving in an hour, and everyone shuffled out of the office except for Bucky, Ally and Steve.

"Why am I not going." Bucky asked Steve. "Because Buck, this is still Hydra. We cant take the risk of them taking you or turning you against us again." Bucky felt Ally's hand slip into his. "Those words are still in your head Bucky, and until we can get them out, we cant risk it. We don't know who knows them and who doesn't." Steve slipped out of the room and Bucky turned to Ally.

"I just don't like you being out there without me to watch your back." Ally smiled at him and pulled close to her. "I'll be okay Bucky, I've got a whole team behind me. Plus, I'm kind of good at my job." She told him winking.

Ally's POV

Bucky walked you out to the jet, and you could tell he was hesitant to let you go. A part of you did want him to come with you, because you knew he would be a big help, but there was no way you were going to take him into a Hydra base. "We'll only be gone a few days okay? Tony will come by the lab I'm sure, so you'll have someone to talk to." He nodded, and you figured he would probably spend most of his time in the gym while you were gone anyway. "If there's an emergency call me, and if you cant get ahold of me, call Tony okay?" You leaned up and kissed him, gasping when he grabbed the back of your neck and pull you in for a deeper kiss. You both pulled back panting, resting your heads on one another. "I love you. Stay safe." He whispered. "Always. I love you."

The facility was small, and from the outside it didn't look like there were many guards. Maybe it wasn't used as often. "I count six guards on the outside, all armed." Wanda said over the comms. "Copy. Steve and I will take them out, wait for our signal." Nat told her. You heard some grunts and scuffling, indicating that they had taken care of them without causing a scene. "All done, ready for team two to head in." Steve said.

Team two consisted of you, Wanda and Pietro. Sam and Rhodey were eyes in the sky in case things went south. Wanda told you there were three people inside, so you quietly opened the door, just peeking in. Upon not seeing anyone immediately, you stepped in and looked around, motioning for Wanda and Pietro to follow you. There were cases of guns and ammunition everywhere and parts for a tank were scattered on the floor. You crept over to three cells, that held what looked like engineers. Maybe they made weapons? Then why were they being held here? Why not at a production facility? You had a bad feeling.

"There's something off about this." You told Steve in your comms. "There shouldn't be engineers here, they would keep them at a production facility, to work on weapons."

You walked over to them and spoke, but they started speaking Russian. Of course they did. "Nat, we could use you in here, maybe get them talking." You told her. "On my way."

"Maybe they were overseeing transport? To make sure nothing happened?" Pietro offered. You shook your head. "No. Hydra wouldn't spare their brains to protect the brawn. Something's not right Steve." You told them.

"She's right, we've got two bogeys coming in hot, you guys need to get out of there!" Sam yelled. You, Pietro and Wanda shared a worried look before Pietro grabbed you both, getting out of there, you had just exited the threshold of the building when it exploded and sent the three of you flying in the air. You landed with a sickening crunch against a wall, and you knew something was broken. Possibly several things Doing a check over yourself, you found you couldn't move your left leg, your right arm, and it was hard for you to breathe, indicating you had a few broken ribs. There was also blood trickling down the side of your face from a gash on your head. You felt the crunch of snow next to you, and you opened your eyes to see Steve's horrified face.

"Ally, can you move? Can you heal yourself? Wanda needs help, she's got a large gash in her shoulder." You saw Wanda lying on the ground, writhing in pain on her stomach, blood seeping from her shoulder. Pietro was stumbling to get to his feet, a cut on his forehead and down his arm. You faintly heard Nat say she was going to the jet to get it ready, but there was a ringing in your ear, so you yanked your comm out, tossing it to the side.

"Bring her to me." You choked out. Steve was back in a second with the younger girl, and you raised your hand to her shoulder, healing her wound, hearing her gasp in relief. You shouldn't have healed her. You were too weak. You wouldn't be able to heal yourself. You raised your hand to wipe your face and saw blood. It was coming from your nose.

Oh, crap.
