You paced outside the lab where Bruce and Tony were working on the new glove. There was a hand on your shoulder and you turned to see Steve looking at you. "You're going to tear a hole in the floor. Stop." He said, smirking at you. You let out a sigh and wrapped your arms around him. "This has to work. It felt like it was too easy." You told him. He wrapped his arms around you and nodded. "It's going to work. We're gonna get him back."

Tony poked his head out and said that they were ready. You and Steve headed back into the lab as everyone was arguing on who was going to wear it. "I think it should be Carol." You told them. Everyone turned to look at you. "I don't think anyone here is powerful enough to withstand the power except for her. No one else would survive it."

Carol agreed and took the glove when Tony handed it to her. Everyone else stood back, behind shields or whatever they could block themselves with. "Friday, initiate Barn Door Protocol." All the doors around the lab began to close, Carol stuck her hand in the glove, groaning when the power surged through her. Dear God, please let this work. You had come so far to fail again.

"Remember, bring back everyone who was vanished in the snap." Bruce told her. She nodded and raised her hand, snapping her fingers. You felt the familiar whoosh and looked to see Carol on the floor. Her arm was badly burned, but she was able to get the glove off and you ran over and healed the burns for her.

"Did it work?" Steve asked. The doors locking the lab opened and you headed out into the main area. "Friday? Where is Bucky?" You asked the AI, hoping she would have read on him somewhere.

"I'm right here doll." You heard from behind you. Spinning around, you saw Bucky, Strange, Wanda, Peter, and the rest of the Guardians step out of a portal. It only took a few steps for you and Bucky to meet, and in one swift motion, his hands were under your legs, lifting you in the air. You wrapped your legs around his waist and your lips found his. You couldn't stop the sob that escaped as he held you. It had worked. You had them back. Tony and Nat didn't have to die.

"You found me. You brought me back." He whispered. You smiled against his mouth. "Don't I always?"

He sat you down and Steve was right behind you, pulling Bucky into a hug. You smiled when you saw Peter run to Tony, and the look on Tony's face made your heart melt.

"Thanos?" Drax had asked. "Dead." Tony told him. A relieved look spread across his face, and you knew that some peace had found him, the person who murdered his family finally gone.

"I need to go back to Wakanda." You said softly. Bucky turned to you. "Why doll?" You sighed and closed your eyes. "Shuri is dead because of me. Because I messed around with things I shouldn't have. In my world, Vision died. So, when we got the stone out of him, saving him, I guess someone else had to die in his place." You were crying again, and Bucky took you up in his arms.

"Shh it's not your fault. You were just trying to save everyone." He whispered into your hair.

"T'Challa did ask me to bring all of you back to Wakanda when we got here." Strange told you. Nodding to him, he created a portal and everyone followed him through it, and when you got there, the Guardians bid their thanks to you and got back on their ship, heading off to save whatever planet they needed to.

You were hesitant on stepping back in the palace. The place where you had once considered home, was now the place where you got the Princess killed. Bucky nudged you, and you followed him inside, up to a conference room, freezing when you saw T'Challa.

He came up to you and took your hands in his. "Thank you." He said softly. "For everything that you have done." You shook your head at him. "Why are you thanking me? Shuri is gone because you me." Tears were falling down your face. How could he be so calm with you?

"You save millions Allison. Yes. I am devastated that my sister is gone, but you brought millions of people back and Thanos is dead, unable to harm anyone ever again." He told you. "Come, tonight we will celebrate. We will celebrate Shuri's life, and we will celebrate our victory against Thanos."

You were lying in your old room when Bucky found you. The bed dipped next to you and Bucky pulled you to his chest. "How long were we gone?" He asked. You tilted your head so you could look up at him. "Just a few days, but it felt like forever. I didn't know if it was going to work or if we could stop Thanos. I was so scared I'd never see you again."

"Hey." He said softly, holding your chin in his hand. "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere. I love you." He leaned down to kiss you and you melted. He shifted so you were underneath him, one hand on your hip, the other behind your neck. It didn't take long for the kissing to get heated, tugging on his shirt, he leaned up and took it off, throwing it behind him. Your hands went to his chest, touching every bit of skin you could.

Your shirt came next, and seconds after your bra, Bucky immediately attaching his mouth to a nipple. Your back arched into him and you threaded your hands in his hair. His mouth left a train of fire down your body, taking a second to pull your pants off, then his mouth was back on you, kissing up your thighs. His tongue came out and lapped at your folds and you moaned, the sound coming out of you was filthy, and Bucky loved it, you could feel him smiling against your skin.

"Buck, please." You whimpered. He stopped for a second, looking up at you. "Please what doll?"

"I need to feel you. Need you in me Buck. Please." He smirked and crawled back up your body, shucking his jeans and briefs. He kissed you softly, pressing his tip inside, before sheathing himself in you, inch by inch. You moaned when he bottomed out, digging your nails into his skin. "You feel so good doll, God it's like you were fuckin made for me." He groaned into your neck, causing you to clench around his cock.

"Oh God Bucky don't stop." You moaned, and he continued his pace, placing sloppy kisses all over your neck. His left hand squeezed your hip tightly and when you gasped, he stopped moving.

"Bucky, baby what's wrong?" You asked, grabbing his face, turning it to look at you. It looked like he was fighting something. "Tell me what's wrong."

"It just…it's Winter…he…he wants you." He said, afraid to meet your gaze. You smiled softly and tilted his head up. "It's okay, he can come out to play, I don't mind." You told him. He studied you for a second, you guessed trying to figure out if it was a bad idea. "It's okay, he won't hurt me."

Bucky nodded and closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were darker, more primal. "Hi Winter." You said, reaching your hand up to the side of his face. He leaned into your hand and kissed it. "Missed you." He mumbled. "I'm right here Winter. Never leaving."

"Never letting you go. Never again." He almost growled, taking your wrists and pinning them above your head. He captured your lips in a bruising kiss and trailed his left hand back to your hip, holding it hard as he picked up the pace, slamming into you with every thrust. You moaned into his mouth, loving how rough this was. Bucky was always afraid of dominating you too hard, he never wanted to hurt you. It was only ever soft bondage. But this, this was animalistic, and you fucking loved it.

"Mine." Winter growled, pulling out slowly, then slamming into you again. You were definitely going to have bruises and you were already deliciously sore. "Yours, all yours." His head fell to your neck and you placed kisses on his jaw, bucking your hips to meet his. "Gonna come. Have to come." He mumbled, squeezing your thigh.

"Come on baby, come with me." You whispered. Two thrusts later, you clenched down on him and he moaned, you could feel him filling you up. He laid still for a minute, before placing a soft kiss to your lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

He closed his eyes, breathing deep for a second, and when they opened, the brilliant blue of Bucky was back. He immediately started looking you over. "Are you okay?" He asked. You grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss. "I'm fine baby. Promise." He nodded and kissed you slowly, pulling out and rolling next to you, pulling you as close to him as he could.

"He loves me too you know." You told him. You could feel him nod against your back. "I know. It's why he's so protective of you. He's never loved before. They wouldn't let him. He's scared of losing you, just like me." You turned in his arms and put your hand on his face. "I'm not going anywhere."

Bucky closed his eyes and put his head against yours. He mumbled something against your skin, but you didn't hear him.

"What was that Buck?" He pulled back and looked into your eyes.

"Marry me."
