Sitting in between Bucky and Steve in the conference room waiting on Nat and Clint to arrive, your knee was bouncing up and down. Steve put his hand on it, and you glanced at him sheepishly. "Sorry. You murmured, getting up when Nat and Clint entered the room. You threw your arms around Nat's neck, smiling when the assassin returned your hug. Clint was next, wrapping one arm around you, putting his bag down with the other. "I missed you guys so much."
"We missed you too kid." Clint told her. You turned to Bucky, who looked uneasy, looking up at Nat. "Do you remember me soldier?" The redhead asked him. He looked down and nodded. "Nat. He's not a soldier anymore, come on." You whispered, nudging her. She mouthed sorry and sat down at the opposite end of the table. "Hey man, I'm Clint, good to meet you." The archer said, holding out his hand out. Bucky too it slowly, nodding.
"Okay, okay, now that we have pleasantries over, can we begin oh all seeing one?" Tony said, entering the room and throwing a look at you. Rolling your eyes, you grabbed your tablet and started to talk, but a crack of lightning made you, and you were sure Bucky too, jump. Looking outside on the balcony, you saw Thor land, waving at you. "Lady Allison!" He said, picking you up and spinning you. "It's so good to see you!"
"Thor you have impeccable timing, how did you know we needed you?" Clint asked. A smirk formed on the God's face. "Heimdall. He saw you and saw that you needed me, so here I am." He looked over to Bucky and stuck his hand out. "Hello, I don't believe we've met, I'm Thor, Son of Odin." Bucky took his hand and shook it. "Bucky."
You glanced at Bucky and mouthed 'are you okay?'. He nodded, so you turned to the rest of the room, flicking images up on the screen from your tablet. "Okay. So, Baron Von Strucker. Hydra agent, bad guy. He has a base in Sokovia, heavily guarded. He has Loki's staff." Thor tensed at that. Tony turned to Bucky. "Does he look familiar to you?" He asked.
Bucky shook his head. "No, I never saw him, but I have heard of him. He's most known for his experiments."
"What do you mean experiments? I do not understand." Thor asked.
"He experiments on people." You told them, pulling up videos you could find of the Maximoff twins. "This is Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Born in Sokovia, they volunteered for Strucker's experiments when a bomb went off in their home from a terrorist attack when they were children. It was Stark Industry weapons that were used on their home." Tony looked away ashamed, and you felt bad for him, knowing that it wasn't his fault.
"So, we go to Sokovia, get the staff, and Thor can take it back to Asgard with him?" Steve asked. You nodded. "That's the plan. Everybody good?" You looked around the room and everyone nodded.
"Wheels up in thirty." Steve told everyone. You went back to your room and pulled out your uniform, zipping it up, pulling your hair into a ponytail. Zipping up your boots, you took one last look in the mirror before pulling your door open, only to find Bucky standing there.
"Hey, what are you doing?" You asked him. He looked up at you, the back down, like he was fighting with himself about saying something.
"I don't want you to go." He said softly. You tilted your head to get him to look at you and smiled. "Hey, I'm gonna be okay. This is a simple mission. We won't be gone long. I promise okay?" You reached out your hand for his and he hesitated but grabbed it. "Walk me down to the armory to get my pew pews?" You asked. He looked confused. "My guns. I call the pew pews, it's from a movie. I'll have to show them to you." You smiled and led him to the elevator, his hand never leaving yours.
Bucky's POV
Bucky's hand felt so good in hers. He never wanted to let her go. It felt like he was drowning, and Ally was his lifeline. The elevator ride to the armory was quiet, and when they stepped out into the armory Bucky's jaw dropped. It was huge. He followed Ally over to where she kept her weapons and watched in awe as she strapped four knives into her boots, two guns on her legs, and a baton onto her back. She did it with such grace it was the sexiest thing he'd ever seen.
She caught him staring, putting her hands on her hips and tilting her head. "What?" Bucky shook his head grinning. "Nothin doll." She smiled and held her hand out. "Walk me to the jet?"
Bucky watched everyone get on the jet and Ally turned to him. "Okay, so there's beer in the fridge, and if you wanna order out, just ask for Jarvis, he can get it for you, and it will just charge it to the tower. Remember Pepper is also around the penthouse, so just ask Jarvis to call her if you need something okay?" She told him. He nodded, unsure of bothering Tony's girlfriend because he couldn't figure something out or because he was lonely. She let go of his hand and he was immediately sad without the contact. "I'll be back." She said as she backed away, turning and getting into the jet. Steve was the last one, sending Bucky a wave, which he returned.
A day or two tops. It will be fine. I can do this.
