A/N: I only own the OC

Thank you for reviews!


"Are you sure you wan to go home?" he asked me and I nodded. Nick had come to see me outside and found me staring off into space. He tried to have a conversation with me, and after getting nothing but one word answers he realized that something else was going on. He finally pried out of me that I just wanted to go home.

"Yes, I am." I said and he looked at me.

"Did Steve find you?" he asked me and I smirked.

"You have cameras... you tell me." I said and he chuckled.

"Did he tell you anything useful?" he asked me and I shook my head no.

"He admitted that he wasn't sure what to do when he went back, that he missed us, and that he hates not talking to Bucky. He admitted that he never should have talked to Sharon or date her. He is fixated on me, and I don't know that I give a shit. The worst thing is that whatever happiness he had with Peggy, or back then... he didn't hold onto it. He's come back thinking it's 5 years ago, nothing's changed, and he's still in charge. " I said and he nodded.

"You always were the best." he said and I smirked. He had recruited me because of my psychology background, and then helped me become a field agent. I would always owe him that one for opening me up to new people and experiences, but I wish that I had never met super soldiers.

"What picture did he show you?" Nick asked me and I pursed my lips as I looked at him. He sighed and held up the same picture. I looked from it to him and he shook his head.

"How did you get it?" I asked him and he smirked.

"Steve wasn't the only one following one of them. I wanted to know if I could still trust Sharon." he said and I smirked.

"Are you going to be asked to be reassigned again?" he asked me and I chuckled as I shook my head no.

"No, it obviously didn't help anything, and no matter what I'm stuck with these fuckers so I'm going to face it head on... and walk out fine." I said and he high fived me as I winced when I put my arm back down. He chuckled and shook his head.

"You know they are all going to come looking for you again. They all value you in their lives... for different reasons." he said and I nodded. I knew that. Sharon wants her link to the past, Steve found comfort in you, Bucky sees you as a new start, and Sam finds normal in you." he said and I nodded.

"You aren't bad at this either." I said and he laughed. I talked to Nick a little longer before he helped me get transported home. He knew that they would all come to check on me, but I didn't care. He was going to try to stop Bucky and Steve for as long as he could, and I appreciated it. I wanted some me time to figure out what the hell was really going on. I had finally let myself start to like Bucky only to see that he was kissing Sharon, and of course when I saw Steve it all came back again.

Bucky POV

I slowly made my way back the headquarters... I had a lot on my mind. Sharon had been talking to me, and suddenly we are kissing. I don't know why we kissed, and I don't know why I didn't push her off. The contact felt nice, but it wasn't Sarah. We had agreed not to talk about it, and it was a slip on both our parts... it just didn't make me feel any better. I finally gave in and walked into the headquarters. I wanted to see Sarah.

I walked up the medical wing, but I was told that Nick wanted to see me first. I nodded and went to see him. I walked on the floor to see Steve and Sam also up there. I crossed my arms over my chest as Steve looked at me. Nick walked out to see us all and leaned against the desk.

"You are all going to leave Sarah alone while she recovers for a few days." he said and I felt rage. I wanted to see her. I wasn't going be treated like Steve... I had been there for her.

"No! She's important to me." I said and he nodded.

"She should be able to make that decision not you." Steve said as I looked at Sam.

"She did make the decision. I need you all to continue to track this lead, and she needs time to herself. You all need to go back to Europe and finish tracking the group." he said and I ran my hand through my hair.

"Can we at least see her before we leave?" I asked him and he shook his head no.

"No, wheels up in an hour. Go now." he said and I stomped from the room. I knew that this was important, but I wanted to see her.

Sarah POV

I was finally at home, and Butterfinger was beside me. I felt happy to be at home, but at the same time I wasn't sure if I was angry, sad, or anything else that would help me express what I felt right now. I guess that in some twisted way Bucky and Sharon understood what it felt like to give everything for a country only to have his back turned on him. I knew that was something I wouldn't understand, but I didn't understand why it took them so long to figure this out for themselves. We had all been together in Europe... I think I was really just hurt because I felt led on.

Nick had told me that they were headed to Europe, that I had a few people watching my house with me, and that I should take all the time I needed. I appreciated all that, but I knew that I wouldn't take forever. I wanted to get back and figure this shit out. I wasn't going to hide in my house and wait for this to just go away... no, I was going to look Bucky in his tired blue eyes and get my answer. I was tired of dealing with super soldiers.

Steve POV

I was on the transport with Bucky and Sam. Sharon was given another assignment if she was going to stay in the US undercover then she was going to have to help Nick. She agreed, and I wished she hadn't. I owed her an apology, but after seeing Bucky and her kissing... I didn't want to talk to her again.

"I'm sorry that I left, Bucky." I finally said and he looked at me surprised.

"Oh, now you're sorry? Not when it was 'With you til the end of the line' or when we promised to always have each others back through anything? You are now sorry? What was it not because it wasn't what you expected? Because you left me for a fuck and now you regret it?" he asked me and I looked at him surprised. I knew that he was mad, but I guess I never realized all that. He had told me to be happy at one time, but I guess those were false words.

"I don't regret it, but it wasn't what I thought it would be." I admitted and he chuckled.

"House life wasn't what you wanted? You wanted more than one woman? You missed the attention?" he asked me and I shook my head.

"You know... I missed you. I missed our bond, but after you coming back and just assuming everything would be the same... maybe I don't miss you as much as I thought." he said and I smirked at that.

"You sure you aren't still jealous after all these years?" I asked him and his eyes narrowed.

"Jealous of what? You got every reason that women even look at you from an experiment. I came by it honest. I always had women, friends, and everything, but I always gave it up to look after poor, awkward, and stupid little Steve Rogers." he shot back and I smirked as I shook my head.

"Is that why you go after every woman I have been with? First, Sarah, and now Sharon?" I asked him as Sam looked over surprised and Bucky narrowed his eyes at me. I had gotten to him.

"What's wrong, Buck? No come back now? I saw you and Sharon kissing in the park... so, as much as you thought you loved Sarah it looks like you just love anyone who gives you attention." I said and Bucky came at me. He swung at me, and I ducked... but I forgot he had gotten a lighter upgraded arm that quickly connected to my side.

"I do love, Sarah." he snapped back as I held me side, and Sam was pushing Bucky back.

"Just not enough to keep your lips off some whore." I shot back and Sam looked at me.

"Stop, you both stop! You were best friends, and now you are fighting like enemies because of jealousy and some woman. Just stop!" Sam shouted at us and Bucky pushed off him. He went to sit in another part of the plane as I sat down on a crate.

"Steve, I'm glad to see you back, but this isn't he same time as when you left... figure that out before you provoke the wrong person." Sam warned me and went back to where he was. I shook my head... Bucky was just jealous and he would come around.
