"Are we there yet?" I asked moving my face closer to Steve's collarbone. He gave a light laugh shaking his head at me. The gentle rocking motion was quickly lulling me back to sleep. I gave a low groan and dozed off again. I woke up again as I was laid on a bed. I whined loudly as Steve tried to pull away from me. I tightened my arms around his neck. "No, stay with me."

"Jay, you've got to let go so I can get us ready for bed, then I'll get in bed with you." He said quietly. I let him go and felt him remove my shoes and shirt, leaving my sweats on. I heard his clothes rustle before he crawled onto the bed behind me and wrapped his arms around me pulling me close. I turned my body so I was facing him and tried to shoulder my way closer. I sighed and he kissed my forehead and we fell into a deep sleep.

I moaned feeling lips on either side of my neck, the hips grinding against both the front and back of my pelvis sent waves of ecstasy through every fiber of my body. My heart thudded against my ribs as soft small lips were placed against mine. My hands moved to grip the slim face, fingers pushing into long, soft, red hair. She gave a soft moan in return pushing her tongue into my mouth. The mouth still on my neck turned upward in a smirk. Large rough hands carefully pushed us forward so I was hovering over her, my hips between her thighs. I ran my hands over her soft body until my hand was where I could push my fingers into her body. She gave a wanton moan and I wasn't far behind as fingers entered my body. She moved her hips down on my fingers, lips meeting mine again. Teeth bit into my shoulder causing me to hiss, feeling a slight sting as blood began to drip slowly down my back. Nat gave another moan and I pulled my fingers out of her and pushed myself into her grunting. She pushed her pelvis against mine. I opened my eyes catching a glimpse of shoulder-length brown hair as I turned my head to look at Steve. He gave me a sexy smirk and pulled me into a kiss pushing into me. We all released a deep groan as he carefully started thrusting, forcing me to also thrust into Nat. I felt something around my neck be tugged downward causing my body fall forward. My lips caught Nat's her facial hair scratching at my calloused hands cupped my cheek, my hips ground against hers, my shaft trapped between our bodies, and my legs straddled her hips. I pulled away from Bucky's lips gasping for air.

"Jay, it's time to get up," Steve said. He pulled the blanket off of my body causing my body to become cold quickly. I groaned sitting up rubbing my eyes trying to rub away the remnants of my dream.

"What time is it?" I asked blinking.

"It's only six-thirty." He gave a light laugh pushing the blanket back on the bed.

"Do I have time for a shower?" I stood stretching my spine. I winced when it popped in several places. Steve's blue eyes looked my body over, pupils dilating slightly.

"Only if I can join you." I laughed at his response but led him into the bathroom and started the shower. We both stripped down and stepped under the spray.

We took the walk to Bucky's cell in a sexually satisfied daze, I licked my lips still able to taste Steve on my lips. His arm was slung over my shoulders lazily and my hand occasionally brushed his thigh as we walked side by side. The agents that walked passed us smiled and tried not to stare as we continued on our path. We made it to Bucky's cell and walked in. Bucky smirked at us seemingly amused by us. I rolled my eyes trying t look annoyed and went to sit in the corner.

"Hey, I'm glad to see you two so happy and together," Bucky commented. I was suddenly irritated with him and I couldn't place why. It really wasn't bothering me, the reason that is. I didn't need a reason to feel any negativity toward him.

"Alright, I wanted to tell both of you this, I spoke to Director Fury this morning and it looks like you might be getting out of here in the next week or two," Steve announced. I fought back the anxiety and glanced at Bucky who looked completely shocked.

I couldn't help but panic a bit. If Fury was so eager to get Bucky off of Shield property that meant that something was up. I knew why Fury wanted Bucky elsewhere in the first place but a full mental evaluation took time. It hadn't been nearly long enough. Fury wasn't one to rush things without a reason. Hydra must've been making moves. Bucky must have been thinking the same thing because I could smell the excess sweat rolling down his body.

"Neither of you needs to worry, we won't let Hydra get their hands on either of you," Steve said in full Captain mode. I blinked at him, his face set in a stony mask of determination. I don't think he understood that the two of us were not the only special agents that Hydra had. I also don't think he understood that Hydra wasn't very good at cutting their losses. Bucky knew it too.

"We need to make sure we train a lot when you get out when you get out. Hydra isn't going to let their oldest asset go. We all know it." I said sitting up a little straighter.

"Puppy's right. Hydra won't let either of us go. When you brought me here there was already two more plans to get Puppy back in their custody. Now that Shield has both of us they're going to double their efforts." Bucky agreed.

Steve nodded and the three of us fell silent, all receding into our minds, thinking over the situation. We were planning. We needed a plan for anything and everything. Hydra didn't play fair. I pulled my knees to my chest and took a deep breath.

"Alright, we're going to get out of here, see you soon Buck." I heard Steve say. I stood giving Bucky a curt nod of understanding that he returned. Steve and I walked back through the facility.

"Jay, I promise I won't let anything happen to you. I love you." He swore when we'd finally reached the vehicle.

"It's not me I'm worried about." I told him getting into the car. He also got in and started the engine turning his concerned blue eyes on me. "If they get their hands on Bucky they'll scramble his brain again and we'll be back to square one, if they get their hands on me I'll be they get their hands on one of the Avengers there's no telling what will happen."

"They won't get any of us." He stated as if it were a fact.

"You don't know that. Steve, you know as well as I do that we need to prepare for the worst. I'm not saying don't hope for the best but this isn't your first rodeo either." I countered.

"I just got both of you back. I'm not going to lose you again." He was talking through clenched teeth and the anger radiating off of him was terrifying.

I looked away from him. I hadn't seen him this angry before. I hadn't felt the emotion rolling off of him in all-consuming waves. In a way I was scared.

"How about we go grab lunch and then go shopping? We should get Bucky some civilian clothes." Steve said around a calming deep breath. I nodded still a bit tense because of the lingering mood. "I'm sorry, Jay. I'm just frustrated with the situation."

"It's okay. It's not a good situation. We're all tense. Until we bring Hydra down completely we're going to be tense." I told him softly. Even though he was trying to hide it he was still angry and it made me nervous. We pulled into the parking lot of a small diner and I heard Steve sigh.

"Can you please stop looking away from me like that." He pleaded. I looked at him confused. My body tried to relax but it wasn't working. "You know I won't hurt you, right?"

"I know. I'm sorry, I'm not used to you being so emotional towards missions." I said turning my eyes to him and forced them to stay put.

"This isn't a mission. We didn't receive orders. This is personal." He declared.

I nodded. "No, you're right. It's personal now. But we have to keep calm and stay alert, that's the only way we can keep everyone safe."

"Damn." I apparently gave Steve a funny look after his curse because he laughed. "You're never allowed to leave me again, you're the only thing keeping me grounded most days."

"So... About that lunch you mentioned." I said stomach giving a loud growl. He gave me a loud laugh. I smiled feeling the tension role out of the vehicle in long waves. He pulled me into a quick kiss and we went into the diner. We took a seat in a back booth and grabbed the menus. The waitress that walked over was very short and had a straight, pearly smile.

"What can I get y'all gentlemen to drink?" She asked batting her long eyelashes.

"Two waters," Steve replied. She nodded.

"I'll be right back with that and to take your orders." her southern accent was lovely.

"What looks good?" He asked trying to make small talk.

"I'm actually not sure," I said scanning the simple items of the laminated paper. "What about you?"

"We're at a diner, burger, and fries." He said beaming at me. I laughed shaking my head at his simplicity.

"That sounds good."

Soon we were finished with our food and waited for the waitress to come back with our check. I laughed at something stupid Steve said when the waitress came back. She placed the check on the table and Steve took it pulling out his wallet. She leaned one hand on the table facing me.

"So sweetheart do you have a special lady in your life?" She asked giving me a smile.

"I don't have a special lady in my life," Her face lit up. " I do however have a special man."

Her smile dropped and Steve said, "Okay Baby, we have shopping to do." And her face fell more.

We said thanks and told her to keep the change. She just stared at us, her face turning crimson as Steve leaned over planting a chaste kiss on my lips. I grinned as we got back to the car and Steve started heading for another place. "I think we thought her not to flirt with customers."I laughed.

"Well, she'll never flirt with you at least." He grinned.

"Were you jealous?" I asked poking his ribs.

"Maybe a little." He said pulling up to a store. I looked around seeing many people walking around the shops, some shopping, others just browsing the shelves. My stomach twisted and worry wiggled its way into my mind.

"Jay. Don't worry. I'm right here." He said placing a hand on my thigh. I nodded pushing away the feelings of unease. We got out of the vehicle and slowly walked into one of the many stores. I looked around memorized by what I saw. It was strange. Clothes hanging and folded on shelves and placed on life-sized dolls. The smell of so much unwashed dye irritated my nose and made the air taste like dead plant matter and textile waste.

I leaned away from a rack of jeans that Steve was looking at, wrinkling my nose at the strong smell that wafted out as Steve moved each individual article.

"Hi, is there anything I can help you find today?" We both jumped at the sound of a woman's voice. I looked her over relaxing when I was sure she was just a regular girl. She had short blue hair, curling out from her wool hat, she was about my height and had a cute round face with a polite smile.

"No, thank you," Steve said giving her an equally polite smile.

"Alright, just let me know if you need any help. My name is Sara." She said walking to another customer. I watched her go, catching whiffs of cheap masculine cologne coming from her was a welcome change from the horrid new clothes smell.

"Why do you keep making that face?" Steve asked grabbing a second pair of jeans to add to the first draped over his arm.

"New clothes stink," I said moving to stand on the side that wasn't holding jeans. Steve chuckles.

"I'll start washing them as soon as we get home." He said moving to a different rack. "Do you want to go find some shirts? They probably smell better." He pointed to the back of the store where instead of a bunch of pants, a bunch of shirts was displayed. I nodded going to the shirts looking around.

I had about six shirts when my eye caught a dark gray shirt that made me grin. Printed in the center was Steve's shield. I grabbed three and draped them over my arm.

"Jay, are you ready to check out? We've got a couple more stops to make and then we can go home" Steve said from behind me.

"Yeah, I'm ready," I said grinning to myself.
