When Cassidy woke up she was back on the jet. She didn't remember what happened at first, but as she sat up and looked at the rest of the team, who all looked worse for wear, it all came rushing back in. The girl messed with her mind and made her see Bucky killing Steve, then coming for her.
She started to shake and her breaths became shallow.
"Cass?" Clint asked, standing to come check on her. Steve beat him to it, dropping to his knees in front of her, her hands in his.
"Hey." He said softly. "Sweetheart, look at me." Cassidy looked up at him and he started rubbing circles on her hands. "Come on baby, take a deep breath."
Cassidy shook her head. "I-I c-can't." She got out in between breaths. Steve took his hands and put them on each side of her face, resting his head against hers.
"Hey. Yes you can. Listen to me. I love you. No matter what's going on between us right now, know that I love you. Come on…deep breath in." Cassidy nodded, taking a shaky breath in at the same time Steve did. They held it for a few seconds and let it out together.
They did it a few more times before she was able to breathe normal again.
"There's my girl." Steve said, moving to sit by her. He pulled her into his lap, and she put her face into his neck, breathing him in. It calmed her even more and she snuggled in closer, momentarily forgetting why she was even mad at him in the first place.
She started to drift off but heard Maria on the video call with Tony, telling them that they needed to lay low for a while, that the news wasn't painting them in a good light after Bruce destroyed a city.
When she woke up again, the jet was landing. Steve stood up, Cassidy still in his arms as he walked up to the big farmhouse.
"What is this place?" Thor asked.
"Safe house." Tony said, shrugging his shoulders.
Steve looked down at Cassidy and gave her a small smile. "Can you walk sweetheart?" He asked. She nodded and he sat her down, his arm never leaving her side.
"Honey I'm home!" Clint said. A very pregnant woman came around the corner, staring at all them and Cassidy smiled.
"Hi. Company. Sorry, didn't call ahead." He told her.
"This is an agent of some kind." Tony said. Cassidy glanced at him and rolled her eyes.
"Guys, this is Laura." Clint said.
Laura smiled, shooting a small wave with her hand. "I know all of your names." Tiny little footsteps came down the stairs and two children launched themselves at Clint.
"These are…smaller agents." Tony murmured, getting a smack in the chest from Cassidy.
"Did you bring Auntie Nat and Auntie Cass?" Lyla asked. Nat sent Cassidy a smirk and stepped forward.
"Why don't you hug us and find out." Lyla ran to Nat and Cooper ran up to Cassidy, throwing her arms around her.
"Wow kid, you're getting tall." She told him.
"Almost taller than you." He joked. Cassidy ruffled his hair and walked over to Laura, pulling her in for a hug.
"How are you feelin' momma?" She asked. Laura shrugged.
"Tired mostly. It's better when Clint's home, and when you and Nat are here."
Cassidy frowned. "I know I'm sorry. We should come around more. Things have been…" She trailed off, looking over at Steve, who was watching her with curiosity.
"I heard." Laura told her. "Do I need to give him the shovel talk?"
Cassidy laughed. "Maybe. I think he just needs to get some get right into him." Laura chuckled, nodding her head.
"Sorry we barged in on you." Steve said, ever the gentleman.
"Yeah we would have called, but we were busy having no idea that you exited." Tony added.
"Yeah well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off Shields files. I'd like to keep it that way." Clint told them. Cassidy snorted when Thor stepped on some Legos, and Steve threw him a glare.
Nat walked over to them, leaning down to talk to Laura's belly. "How's little Natasha huh?" She asked. Laura made a face at her.
"She's Nathaniel."
Nat leaned down again, "Traitor."
Cassidy's eyes flew to Steve as he followed Thor outside and for a second, her anxiety started to kick back in. She had to remind herself that she was safe here. That this was her second home. Her family.
She trudged up the stairs to the guest room she shared with Nat, changing into some clothes she kept there. She looked out the window and saw that Steve had changed too, and of course his shirt was two sizes too small. He was chopping wood with Tony, and dammit if it didn't make him look sexy as hell.
She could tell they were arguing, so she headed down to play referee. Laura had already gotten to them, asking if Tony would look at their tractor. Tony left toward the barn and Laura headed back into the house, leaving her alone with Steve. He smiled when she walked up to him tilting his head at her.
"Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?" She didn't say anything as she grabbed his hand and dragged him off to the woods behind the house.
"Cass, where are we going?" Steve asked. Part of him wondered if she was taking him out there to kill him. She could do it if she wanted to, he was well aware of that.
Once she got them far enough in not to be seen, she spun around and pulled Steve's face down to hers in a bruising kiss. His hands gripped her waist, sliding down to her legs as he lifted her up against him. Steve didn't know what came over her, but he didn't care. It had been so long since they had been like this, he wasn't gonna argue.
He walked until her back hit a tree and she moaned into his mouth, sending all the blood rushing down to his cock. He rolled his hips against her and she whimpered, pulling at his belt. He set her down for just a second, his lips never leaving hers, to yank her leggings down and get his pants off.
She jumped back up and his tip brushed against her and she shuddered. "Steve. Please." She pleaded. He reached a hand to guide himself in, and he slid into home with no problem, she was so wet for him.
They stilled for a second, giving her a minute to adjust. She really shouldn't have made him wait so long, she had almost forgotten how good he felt. Almost. He pulled back and thrust in again, and Cassidy bit his lip so she wouldn't scream.
Between her back up against the tree and Steve pressed against her, she was on cloud freaking nine. His lips pulled from hers and he kissed down her neck, nipping at the skin on her shoulder.
"I love you so much." He whispered against her skin. Her hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, if that was even possible.
"I love you too Steve." He started thrusting faster and Cassidy's first orgasm washed over and she was sure if Steve wasn't holding onto her, she would have collapsed. He kept going, his thrusts becoming erratic, and she could tell he was almost there.
His grip on her hips tightened and she moaned at the feeling, loving how rough he was being with her. Her legs started to shake as another orgasm started and when she clenched around Steve, it pushed him into his and he bit down on her shoulder, riding it out.
He held her close for a few seconds, both of them shaking, Cassidy running her fingers through his hair. When he thought she could stand, he pulled out slowly and sat her on the ground, pulling his jeans back up and she got her leggings and shoes back on.
She started to walk away from him without a word when he caught her wrist gently.
"We gonna talk about what that was?"
