Steve's heart broke when he saw her. He knew that she would be hurt. He tried to get Tony to stop, tried to reason with him that they were hurting her. Tony didn't care. All he saw was red. He wanted Bucky to suffer, and Steve couldn't let that happen.

Bucky walked up to the glass and put his hand up against it. "Stevie, get her out of there." He said softly. Steve turned and went around to open the doors, letting the others out in the process

"Oh doll, I'm so sorry." He whispered. Cassidy smiled weakly at him.

"You came back for me." She said.

"Of course we did sweetheart." Steve told her, getting the door open and coming over to her, carefully picking her up bridal style and taking her out of the cell. Clint and Scott decided to stay behind, wanting to get home to their families as soon as they could.

Nat was waiting on the jet for them, her face a look of horror as Steve carried her in and sat her down on a table in the back.

"Jesus kotenok, are you okay?" She asked. Cassidy shrugged, wincing as she did so, her body aching all over. She clearly wasn't given any pain meds while she was out.

"No, she's not okay." Bucky said from behind her, grabbing a med kit from the wall. He began to inspect her injures, his brow creased the whole time. "They did a shitty job of patching you up doll." He said, unwrapping the gauze from around her arm.

"Yeah well they didn't give my any pain killers either." She grumbled, thankful when Nat produced a couple of pills and a bottle of water.

Buckys face paled when he saw the scarred flesh on her arm. This was because of him. He raised his hand above her arm, but dropped it. Cassidy was watching him out of the corner of his eye. He was shaking. She glanced up to the spot where his metal arm once sat, the wires and burn marks making her queasy.

She watched something in his face change and she was learning that it meant that Bucky was going away and Winter was coming out. She had a feeling Winter processed his guilt in a more destructive way than Bucky. She grabbed onto his hand and squeezed.

"Where are we going?" Cassidy asked. Someone appeared behind Steve and she looked to see it was T'Challa.

"We're going to my home. Welcome to Wakanda." He said as the jet passed through a forcefield. They looked out the windows and Cassidy sucked in a breath. It was beautiful.

"My sister will be able to take care of all your injuries Miss Forbes. You should be good as new in no time." T'Challa told her.

"Thank you for this. Thank you for everything." Steve told him, holding out his hand. T'Challa took it and pulled him in for a hug.

"Anything for friends."

Cassidy tried to walk off the jet, but Steve wouldn't let her, picking her up and carrying her into the medical wing. A tiny woman came up to them as Steve set Cassidy on the counter.

"This is my sister Shuri." T'Challa explained.

"My brother told me a little about your situation. We have everything we need here to help you get better." Shuri told Cassidy.

She nodded as Shuri and the other doctors got her hooked up to machines to run tests while two others tended to Steve and Bucky's injuries, which were minor now. Damn speed healing.

She was kept in the medical wing for two days, using a machine similar to the cradle Dr. Cho had to heal Cassidy's wounds.

Once she was released, she was moved to a room with Steve and as she was getting ready for bed, Bucky was standing awkwardly by the door. Cassidy stopped moving pillows from the bed and looked up at him, causing Steve to do the same.

"What are you doing Buck?" Steve asked him. Bucky shrugged his shoulders and looked down.

"I didn't know if you guys wanted me in here or not." He said softly, and her heart shattered just a little. She walked up to him and took his hand in both of hers. Shuri had managed to ger the old arm out of the socket and cleaned up the best she could and said that she would start working on another arm as soon as they got his head fixed. She had also said that Bucky might need surgery to remove the rest of the hardware from his shoulder, because it would be too outdated for anything they put in there.

Bucky was nervous at first, but Cassidy and Steve assured him that they would be with him the whole time.

"Bucky, remember what I told you in that shitty motel room? You are wanted. We want you here with us. Always." She said softly.

Steve came up to stand behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Come to bed Buck, we can talk in the morning. I know we're all tired."

Bucky took a deep breath and nodded, letting Cassidy lead him to the bed. She got in next to Steve and motioned for Bucky to get in next to her. He did and faced her, Steve facing her back.

"I get nightmares sometimes." He whispered. "What if I get one and hurt one of you in the middle of the night?"

Cassidy brushed a strand of hair out his face and kissed him softly. His hand went to her waist and squeezed it gently, Steve's hand sliding over his. "We'll be okay. You're here with us now. Where you're supposed to be." She told him. She scratched the b ack of his scalp slowly until he fell asleep, she and Steve not long after.

When Cassidy woke up in the morning, Bucky wasn't in the bed. She panicked for a second, but relaxed when she heard the shower running. The door was opened, and part of her thought that he did that so he could hear them. It was sweet and protective, and it made her smile. She sat up, careful not to wake Steve and pulled her legs over the side of the bed. There were still some faint bruises on her, but for the most part she was healed, just a little sore.

The shower turned off and Bucky pulled back the curtain, only a towel wrapped around his waist, hair dripping, and Cassidy gulped. Holy hell.

His eyes met hers and he smirked motioning for her to come over. She got up off the bed with more pep than she probably should have, and made her way into the bathroom.

Bucky wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against his chest. "Now, do YOU see something YOU like?" He teased, using her former words against her. Her mouth dropped open but she quickly shut it, trailing her eyes down his chest, automatically pushing her thighs together at the water trailing down his stomach.

"Yeah. Definitely." She whispered. In one quick motion he pushed her up against the wall, his hand on her waist, holding her there. She let out a little yelp and smiled up at him, waiting for him to make the next move.

He put his forehead on hers and closed his eyes, breathing in deep.

"Hey." She whispered. He opened his eyes and looked down at her, unsure of what to do. Then she realized. He was afraid of hurting her.

"It's okay Bucky. You're not going to hurt me. I trust you." That was all it took for Bucky to crash his lips to hers. She let out a little whimper and slid her hands to the back of his neck. He was a rougher kisser than Steve, but she liked it. His hand made its way to the side of her face and he pressed his body into her, and it felt like they'd been doing this their whole lives, just like it had with Steve.

She could feel how hard he was underneath the towel and she was NOT disappointed. The serum had been good for many things she was sure of, but this might be her favorite.

"Bucky." She panted against his lips. She swore she heard him growl as he gripped her hip tighter. His hand went around to her ass and squeezed and moaned, giving Cassidy the chance to pull back attach her lips to his neck. Bucky's mouth went to her shoulder and he nipped her playfully, thanking whatever God he believed in that he still remembered how to do this.

Her hand ran over the scarring on his shoulder and he froze. She jerked her hand back and kissed his neck again. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's okay."

She placed a kiss right next to the scars and waited for Bucky's reaction. "Is this okay?" Bucky nodded into her shoulder and she began to place soft kisses over the scarred flesh. Bucky started shaking in her arms.

He didn't know what to do. Nobody had been this sweet to him in so long, and Cassidy acted like the horrible mess of scars on him didn't bother her.

She ran her hands up and down his back, trying to soothe him. God knows the last time someone was this caring with him.

"Oh baby. It's okay." She whispered. He pulled back and looked down at her, tears fresh in his eyes. She wiped them away and leaned up to kiss him. His kisses were frantic, like it was the last time he'd ever see her.

"Well now I feel left out." Steve voice sounded from the doorway. Bucky pulled back, turning his head towards Steve.

"You're always welcome to join Stevie." Cassidy told him. He chuckled and came over to them, leaning down to kiss Cassidy softly. She felt Bucky's hand leave her waist and looked to see him pulling Steve's face away from hers and into a kiss with him.

She'd always imagined what it would be like to watch her soulmates kiss, but she never imagined it would be this hot.

Bucky pulled away from him and smirked. "Don't be jealous punk, I just wanted some time alone with her before."

"Before what?" Cassidy asked. Bucky looked down at her and sighed.

"I think I need to back under the ice again. I can't trust my brain and until shuri can find out how to get those words out of my head, I just cant take the wrist of hurting either of you." He told her.

She frowned. "For how long?"

"I don't know doll. As long as it takes. I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you again." He said softly. Cassidy leaned her head against his chest and Steve stepped behind her, sandwiching her in between them.

"Steve will be here with you the whole time and I'm sure it won't take Shuri long to figure it out okay? Can you wait for me?" He asked her. She nodded, looking up at him.

"I'd do anything for you Bucky."
