When Zephyr One landed, I saw two stretchers being wheeled toward the base and shook my head. I continued rolling and placing the cookie dough, because I promised dinner and cookies. I could see Steve once the cookies were done.

"Go, I'll finish," Laura said, as Jane played with the kids. Nodding, I wiped my hands, and pulled off my apron. Running down to the med bay, I was greeted with May refusing treatment for a concussion, and Hunter already passed out against Bobby's chest. Darcy, who I could have sworn said that scars were sexy, was checking out Fitz.

Steve was coming around apparently, and I rushed to his side. Bucky came and put his arm around my waist.

"You know it's going to be worse when we trap Hydra," Bucky chuckled.

"I know, but either of you died, I'm not sure I'd be able to live any longer."

"No need to be dramatic," Steve teased quietly.

"I have two reckless husbands. Anxiety comes with the job," I said, before leaning down to kiss him softly.

"Mmm, I am really looking forward to you being my nurse." He whispered.

"And how are you?" I asked, checking out Bucky's arm.

"Not that one. You're Dad promised to fix it up. Also mentioned upgrades, so you better supervise him."

"Oh," I said, taking in the outer shell damage to his left arm.

"I was gonna make it like one of my arms," Dad said, smiling at me. I checked him over for any damage to the suit, and he chuckled again.

"Sera, I'm nearly indestructible with this one. Go sit with your husbands."

"Okay," I conceded, sitting next to the head of Steve's gurney.

"Can I get up yet?" He asked annoyed.

"NO," Bobby and Jemma said while I raised a brow.

"Rest babe," I said, moving to play with his hair.

"But I…" He said, looking to Bucky.

"I'll talk to the team." Nat said, strolling up and slapping Bucky's shoulder. He laughed and kissed my head.

"Go get fixed up," I said, nodding to my Dad who was heading to the lab.

"Yes ma'am."

"Smartass," I teased. I set to work, checking his bandages, and noticed the skin pinking up.

"Is there something wrong?" Steve said softly.

"Nope, it's healing already. I would say you'd be back on this leg tomorrow evening."

"Cause I was really hoping to take you dancing," He said, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"You big flirt, I bet you say that to all the girls." I huffed in a teasing tone.

"Just the feisty brunette that shares my bed." He said, taking my hand, and kissing it softly.

"We haven't been out dancing in… awhile," I said in awe.

"Yeah, last time was DC, two weeks before the fall of SHIELD." She said, thinking back as well.

"And then we were too busy with Hydra… Bucky… pregnancy… Hydra… Ultron… and now Hydra again. I see a reoccurring theme." I listed off with a sigh. Steve patted the space beside him and I raised an eyebrow.

"You remember helping me through my nightmares, holding me as I fought off the urge to shiver. This is like that. I need your comfort, and you want to be a good nurse, right?" He challenged.

"I am your wife! I am the greatest good you are ever gonna get," I sassed, and I heard Darcy, Jemma and Fitz laughing from across the room.

"It's perfect cause Steve was fro-zen," Darcy chuckled, making us all giggle again. The quote was lost on Steve but I still checked the brakes on the gurney and hopped up, being mindful of his leg.

"A movie. I'll show you tonight while I give you a massage," I said, wiggling my eyebrows, and then laying down.

"I want a dog," I said, snuggling into him.

"Who would take care of him?" Steve wondered, "We are on missions half the time. We'd never be able to train him."

"Well, we need a mascot anyways. I think a Golden Retriever. You can throw your shield as a Frisbee," I said, and Mack's laughter joined the rest of the injured agents.

"Oh my god, I forgot about Joey!" I said, shooting up excited.

"Who?" Steve asked, confused.

"Sharon!" I yelled, and she came around the corner.

"What's up?"

"Joey." It took her about ten seconds before she clued into what I was saying.

"OH MY GOD! How could we forget about him?" She exclaimed, taking out her phone so fast, my head nearly span. She dialed the number and waited, shaking her head in exasperation.

"Auntie, what happened to Joey?" She asked, and Steve perked up.

"Yeah, after SHIELD fell all the things that were salvaged from files and the Fridge went to a military base in DC." She said before listening to what Peggy had to say.

"But not Joey! Yes, thank you Auntie. I'll call him right now. Bye Auntie," She said, coming over to the bed and saying, "I can't believe we didn't think of it when Steve was first thawed out."

"I know, right?" I said, smiling like an idiot, while Sharon dialed another number.

"Will someone please explain what is going on?" Steve asked confused.

"Before Dr. Irskine gave you the formula, there was a testing. An animal testing." I said, excited.

"And?" He asked, still not cluing in.

"Steve they couldn't kill this dog once he had the serum. The only thing they could do was freeze him," I said, smiling as Steve got the message. Sharon had just finished a quick conversation and it sounded like it went really well.

"They killed a dog?"

"No," I sighed, "If the serum is the exact same, and you were frozen for 70 years, this dog, this amazing dog, will be alive too."

"Oh," He said, still confused.

"A dog that will keep up with you on runs," Sharon said, wondering how Steve was still confused.

"A dog? What kind?" He asked, starting to get excited.

"I'm pretty sure it was a Golden Retriever. All I know, is that is has beautiful golden fur in the pictures."

"This should be fun," I said as Sharon called one of her contacts. She was talking excitedly into the phone and I remembered that the last person that stored it was Dum Dum.

"How do you feel about visiting with an old friend?" I asked gently.

"In a day or two," He joked, gesturing to his leg.

"Of course babe." I smiled, kissing his temple.
