A/N: I hope you all enjoy this update! There is a bit of spice coming up in this chapter, just giving you a fair warning. Nothing too explicit, just a taste of what is yet to come ;)
The ragtag group of superheros slowly filed into my recovery room, and Tony flicked on the screen to show Loki in a prison on Asgard.
"Thor just sent this to us," he explained, as we all watched the dark haired man pace back and forth across his cell.
"So why did he do that?" Bucky demanded, anger creeping into his voice. Bruce and Tony glanced at each other, as if unsure how much to say.
"Well when Thor found him, he had what's called the Tesseract with him," Bruce paused, pondering how to go forward.
"It's what's known as an infinity stone," Stark continued, picking up where Bruce left off.
"Is it blue?" I inquired, remembering my fogy memory of the blue light. Stark nodded and looked at Cap.
"That was what the Red Skull was in possession of when I fought him before crashing into the ice," he trailed off. I rested my hand on him. It was obviously a painful memory for him. He had worked hard to focus on the future but I knew his missed years haunted him. We often talked about Peggy, the turn of the century, and I've tried my best to catch him up on some modern technology and pop culture. But he was a 40's man, and I knew what it was like to miss long stretches of time, which really helped us bond after all those years apart.
Bucky sat on the edge of the bed beside me, rubbing my leg as he had done earlier. I glanced at him and smile softly. He had always been there to comfort me, no matter what the occasion.
"So what now?" I asked, snapping back into the present and looking at the screen again.
"Well he's refusing to talk right now, so we're going to have to wait a bit y/n, I'm sorry," Bruce said, turning off the monitor.
"I'm just glad he's caught to be honest," I sighed, relaxing back onto my pillows as I spoke.
"Well we just wanted to update you, and see how you were doing," Nat smiled at me. "Oh and before I forget, this is for you," she handed me a warm mug with the pleasant aroma of Chai tea wafting towards me.
"Thanks Nat, you're the best," I said as I greedily took the mug. This was my favourite type of tea. Trust Natasha to remember all the little things about me, she was such an amazing friend. I felt warm from the amount of love and support in this room. Even after knowing my past, they still cared about me. That had been the most worrisome part about joining the Avengers last year. I was terrified about what would happen if they found out the truth about me, but now I knew, and was so grateful that they could see past my dark secrets. I was sure Natasha and Bucky had a lot to do with that, having their own fair share of dark memories.
The group collectively stood up and shuffled out, leaving Bucky and I alone again.
"I remember you used to like your coffee black. What changed?" Bucky asked, nodding towards my tea.
"I just wanted something with a bit more flavour, and less depressing," I chuckled, taking a long sip from the pipping hot drink. The notes of vanilla and cinnamon always left me with a warm and sedated feeling. It tasted like fall, and always put me in a much better mood.
Bucky placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. "I'm going to o use the washroom, and I think you should rest, okay?" I nodded and placed the mug beside me on the metal table.
"Thank you Bucky, for everything."
"Anything for you, doll," he smiled before turning and leaving my room. I leaned back against the soft pillows and my eyes fluttered shut immediately.
Three weeks later
"How's about we stay like this all day?" I mused, tracing my fingers across Bucky's bare, muscular chest. He chuckled and I watched as his muscles rippled from the action. "Pleaseeeee," I whined, climbing on top of him.
"While seeing you like this makes me want to do nothing more than relax here, you know we can't," he sighed, running both hands over my bare thighs. I wiggled on him and felt something hard press against my ass. I cocked an eyebrow at him and wiggled a bit lower until I could feel him underneath my panties.
"I can tell that you don't want to get up either," I chuckled, moving my hips in a figure eight on top of him. He let out a moan and leaned back onto his pillows.
"Y/n you know we can't right now," he complained, grabbing my waist to stop me. "I knew having a sleep over was a bad idea. You're far too tempting." He licked his lips and his fingers danced over to the hem of my pajama shirt. He gently tugged on the edge before clenching his hands and scowling. He licked his lips again and fluidly flipped us over, pinning my hands above my head in the progress. His lips crashed onto mine and I returned his kisses with passion. His tongue licked over my lips and I parted them, giving him full access.
He moved my hands together till he could hold them with just one hand, while with the second he began to caress me, running his hand from my breast down to my inner thigh. The growing wetness between my legs was becoming uncomfortable so I squirmed slightly. He ran a single finger up my inner thigh and I held my breath with anticipation. His lips broke free from mine and he gently kissed along my jawline until he reached my ear.
"You're a very bad girl y/n," he growled, nibbling my ear afterwards. I moaned. God I had wanted this for far too long. This was like a dream come true.
He ran his fingers up until he just reached the top of my panties, and I squirmed with anticipation again.
"Do you promise to be a good girl?" He whispered, kissing and licking my ear and jawline. I let out a low whimper and managed a feeble nod.
"Well I've got a meeting now for a mission so you're going to have to wait," he smiled down at me wickedly.
"Fuck you James," I groaned, pissed at him leaving me so horny.
"Ya you wish," he retorted, climbing out of bed and quickly changing out of his pjs bottoms. "Y/n, you know I want to, but I want to take you on some dates first and treat you like the proper dame you are before I absolutely demolish your-"
"Ya ya I know... urg. It's charming how old fashioned you are, but man is it ever a bummer some days," I rolled my eyes and swung my legs out of bed. I strolled over and bent to grab my shorts, pulling them on quickly before turning to see Bucky checking me out.
"I'm sorry but you've got such a nice ass," he laughed and shook his head, pulling over a shirt as he began walking towards the bathroom, I heard him turn on the faucet and splash his face a few times before what I assumed was him brushing his teeth. I threw my hair up into a raggedy bun, and slipped on my brow and white fluffy slippers. I followed him into the bathroom and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm going to go and eat. I'll see you later?" He nodded and I turned on my heel. I carefully closed the door behind me and walked slowly down the stairs. Natasha was sitting at the island, drinking her usual coffee and wearing one of Steve's sweaters and her grey pajama shorts.
"Well I see that you're up. I'm guessing a long night with that crazy love machine," she shot me a wink and smirked before taking another sip of coffee. I sat down beside her and she slide over a plate of toast and some jam.
"Negative," I replied, as I spread the strawberry substance on my bread.
"Man he still won't put out? You know Steve was someone I also pinned as old fashioned but let me tell ya, when he-"
"Ew gross Nat. That's literally my brother," I fake gagged and her cheeks turned red.
"You know, I so often forget that cause you two are literally nothing alike," she laughed and grabbed a piece of toast as well.
"Ya well he is still my brother, and while I'm beyond happy for you, there are some things I do NOT want to know about him." I took a bite and walked over to the kettle. After filling it up, I turned it on and went to grab my favourite blue mug and a teabag. After a couple minutes the low whistle began to go off and I quickly poured it and sat back down. Natasha had eaten another piece of toast in that time, and had started to ready the newspaper.
"Anything interesting?" I asked, nodding towards the article she was reading.
"No, but Stark wanted to meet with you later to go over some training stuff," she said, looking up at me. "Sorry just remembered."
"Thanks, I'll stop by to see him after this," I sat down and took a big gulp of tea.
We sat in silence until I had finished my drink and stood up to head to the lab. "I'll see you for lunch?"
"Of course," the red head smiled, and I turned and strode down the hall. Passing by three or four doors, I finally arrived at the glass door of the lab. I peaked inside and saw it was empty. Curious, I ducked inside and heard the faint sound of ACDC playing from Tony's speaker. I walked into the main part of the lab, towards the island on the middle and peered at a notebook left open on it.
In smudged, scraggly handwriting was what looked like some chemical formulas and underneath read, "Super Soldier Serum."
A/N: Going to leave it there for now! I hope you all enjoyed the sneak peak at some of the spice left in store between y/n and Bucky ;) what do y'all think the Super Soldier Serum note is about? Interested to hear your thoughts! Until next time :)
