Pepper had been in their room packing a few bags since they both would be joining Gabriella or Gabby at the new SSR. Pepper would still run Stark Industries, but Gabby had had insistence that she comes too. She didn't want to have the two soulmates away from each other, so Pepper took a 3-week vacation to go and help the two siblings set up the new SSR.

Tony would head the Teck department and gabby would head the entire thing. She had asked for peppers help thinking it would kind of be like running a major business. And she was right. For the first week the two slept roughly a few hours a night. Tony was sleeping more than them, but they did it. The foundation of the SSR was built. Shaking her head, she made her way to the conference room just in time to see Sharron nose break.

"well that's a law suit." All eyes were on her, but she just walked to Tony handing him her bag. "we are all packed for the trip."

"Thanks babe." Tony kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"oh, just kiss the girl already." They both laugh as gabby pushed Tony's shoulder. Something she had learned early on was that those too were instant connected. And Tony enjoyed being a big brother. He was complete and finally truly happy.

Furry gain everyone's attention once more. "Now if Agent Overwatch is done."

"Wait she's overwatch." Nat and Barton both shared a look then at the same time spoke "Thank you."

Gabriella just nodded as furry spoke once more. "now as I was saying since the SSR is new it needs Agents. So, if any of wish to join this is the time. Barnes has already Joined as well as Stark." The look of hurt on the captains face almost broke her heart but then she remembered what he had done.

"I want to see the operation first." Barton spoke up as Nat nodded in agreement.

"of Couse just sign the no discloser and you get a 30-day trial."

"I want to see it as well" Sharron spoke while holding her nose.

"um no did me breaking your nose make my point. You're lucky I didn't shoot you slut."

"I think that perhaps we all should at least see what you are offering." Vison was being reasonable, but she knew Sharron was a no go.

"Everyone but the bimbo and captain are invited to see." She looked him dead in the eye before she spoke. "he has to gain my trust first. After all my name has been in his side since he woke up." With that she turned and left with Bucky right by her side.

It had been a few days at the base when she woke with a start one night. Knowing what was wrong she went to Bucky's room which was right beside her. "Bucky, are you ok."

"No." the light came on and she found him on the floor leaning on the wall.

"Bucky." She rushed to him checking him for injuries with her hands when she found it. His soul mark was burning to the point she could barely touch it. But she places her had on his mark and kissed his forehead. "just breath it will pass I'm right here." His arms wrapped around her and picked he up as he stood. He carried her to his bed and laid down with her still in his arms.

"it's Steve, are bound is breaking it has been for awhile now."

"I'm sorry this is all my fault."

"no, it's his for choosing her over us." She knew what she had to do and truly she hadn't done it yet because she thought he would make the first move. So, she reached under his pillow to retrieve his knife and cut her hand. Bucky didn't speak but took the blade and cut his hand as well. But then looked lost. She chuckled and removed her night shirt leaving her completely exposed. His eyes went wide at the sight of her bare chest, but he still looked for her mark. Silently she took his hand and placed it in the middle of her back and right on her mark. At the contact he sighed felling her mark start the heat up as he bonding to her. But when her hand touches his mark electricity shot through them. Within second she was on her back as he was attacking her neck with his mouth. Quickly they removed their cloths, but they never spoke. But when he entered her sealing there bond a miracle happed. There minds not just their bodies were now bonded. My solider. He smiled kissing her as he heard her voice in his mind. My Angel. She returned his kiss and flipped them over taking control of their love, making sure he understood she was choosing him as her first soulmate. When they finally rested the sun was rising but neither mate moved as they were wrapped in each other's arms never letting to other go of each other.

Steve knew what he had to do. He had already ended things with Sharron. But he had also lost the entire team. They told him that they were still avengers but that the SSR was were they needed to be for now. The compound was still up and running, with now both the SSR and S.H.E.I.L.D teams. So, he knew he could load up his bike and ride out to DC to see the one woman who could straighten out his heart and mind. He had to see Peggy before he looked at his mark for the first time in over 70 years.
