""I figured you could have done better for yourself," He said, addressing his daughter. Bucky broke a smile before Rebecca and he let out a laugh.


Sam walked in, seeing Bucky and Rebecca laughing.

"I don't want to know…" He said shaking his head, looking at Steve. "Calls made. Clint's picking up Wanda and Tic Tac. They will be here within the day. We also need to get our gear back," Sam said.

"I'll work on that," Steve said before pulling out his phone. He talked to Sharon, planning for a rendezvous tomorrow.

"Let's find a place to bunk for the night…" Steve said, noticing how tired Bucky was.

"I think I saw a truck out back we can borrow for the night," Rebecca said. Steve nodded before sending Sam to get it. They found their way to a seedy motel on the outskirts of town, a place that wouldn't ask any questions. They decided for safety, on one double room to stay close.

"Bucky and Sam have that bed," He said, pointing to the furthest in. "Rebecca and I will take the other," Steve finished, as they entered the room. He knew it might be a moot point. He wasn't sure how much sleep any of them would really get.

"Is that because you two are an item?" Bucky asked. Rebecca couldn't help but feel amused by the fatherly concern that Bucky was showing her.

"No… It's because I won't die if she accidentally touches me in her sleep…" He told Bucky as he dropped their bags on the bed. Bucky gave her a cautionary glance. She smirked, trying to hold back a laugh.

"And why won't she kill you?" He asked, confused, as he moved to sit on the bed.

"Cap's kind of built up a resistance to her powers…" Sam explained, looking out the window.

"We're partners, Buck… she absorbs my strength, daily. After so much time, my body has built up a tolerance to it. I've been recovering faster from the side effects. It's even starting to get harder for her to absorb me. She used to have to hold back her powers on me, so she wouldn't hurt me. She doesn't have to do that anymore…"

"If Steve ever went off the deep end… and they asked me to take him down with my full strength, I do not think I would even slow him down…" she said honestly. She gave Steve a kiss on the cheek before going to the bathroom. "I got dibs on the shower, I still got river in places I should not," she said before closing the door. Steve suppressed a laugh.

"That's nice to know… better not go off the deep end there, buddy," Sam joked, causing Steve to chuckle.

"So how long has that been going on?" Bucky asked Steve, pointing to Steve and then the bathroom door.

"Us? Being partners?" Steve asked as he sat on the other bed, across from Bucky.

"You being together?" He clarified. Steve let out a breath.

"Since about two seconds after he rescued her," Sam said with a smile, turning away from the window. Steve gave Sam a glare and Sam took the hint.

"I'll see if I can go find us some food," Sam said, putting on his hat and sunglasses before he left.

"So… you got her out of that place?" Bucky asked. Steve sighed.

"Yes. About 11 months ago." Steve told him. Bucky paled at that.

"She was with them for that long…" Bucky breathed out.

"She was their weapon," Steve explained. Bucky rubbed his hand over his face.

"What did they make her do?" He asked feeling devastated.

"Some terrible things. You should know more than most. But she also fought against them, so they kept her in line with a bomb in her neck. She was their soldier."

"Daddy's little girl…" Bucky said, closing his eyes to keep the tears at bay. Steve paused, not sure if he should continue until he saw Bucky give him a nod.

"We attacked the HYDRA base she was at. They sent her after us. She grabbed me, draining my powers, but when she uses her powers she can form a mental link with that person…" He said, looking at the bathroom door. "She saw something in me. She saw she could trust me. She showed me what they were doing to her, so we helped her escape." Steve said shaking his head, looking back at Bucky.

"After we rescued her, she wouldn't let me out of her sight. That link showed her what kind of person I was. She knew without a doubt she could trust me. The first person in her life she could trust since her mother." Steve paused for a moment.

"I knew where she came from. I knew what they did to her and after that, I wanted to protect her. To see that no one used her like that again." Steve explained. "I don't know if it was her powers or something else… " He shrugged. "We were comfortable around each other… things kind of happened…"

"I don't need the details…" Bucky said honestly. Steve nodded. "What happened to Izabella?" Bucky asked. Steve closed his eyes, not wanting to tell him. "Tell me the truth…"

"Dead, HYDRA killed her when they took Rebecca," Steve explained. A single tear slipped down Bucky's cheek.

"How old was she...when they took her?" Bucky asked.

"Eight…" Steve told him.

"Son of a bitch…" Bucky growled out. "She was with them for 13 fucking years." Steve nodded. Bucky got up from the bed, pacing, trying to get his anger under control.

"Maybe we should stop for the night," Steve said.

"How long have you known I'm her father?" Bucky asked, answering Steve's question. Steve paused for a moment.

"A few weeks after we rescued her. About the time we got together…" Steve admitted.

"And you're still sleeping with her, knowing she's my child?" Bucky bit out. He was angry at the situation. About everything he couldn't control. He wasn't sure what to make of his best friend and his daughter together.

"She's not a child!" Steve snapped back before taking a breath, calming down. "And I haven't slept with her, Bucky. Her powers make it hard for her… to do much..."

"I thought you were resistant to her powers…." Bucky asked.

"Not enough for her. She's worried she'll kill me," Steve said. "Kind of a mood killer." Bucky looked at him, processing the information. He sighed, sitting back down on the bed.

"Do you love her?" He asked.

"Yes… Yes, I do," Steve said without any hesitation.

"Still… kind of hard to wrap my head around you two…" Bucky said, honestly.

"Hopefully you'll with time… because she's not someone I willing to give up… not even for you," Steve told him. Bucky looked at him, seeing the sincerity and determination in Steve's eyes.

"I guess she found a good man…" Bucky said with a half smile.


The next morning Steve found them another getaway car, a VW Beetle. Rebecca got into the back with Bucky while Steve and Sam sat up front. They made their way to the rendezvous point with Sharon. Steve went to talk to her, while the rest of them waited in the car.

"Can you move your seat up?" Bucky asked, uncomfortable in such a small vehicle.

"No," Sam said. Rebecca rolled her eyes before she kicked the back of the seat. Sam huffed out before he moved the seat up just an inch. Bucky gave Rebecca a curious look and she shrugged.

They watched as Sharon and Steve talked to each other. Sharon opens the trunk, revealing their equipment. Steve gave her a hug before he grabbed the gear, putting in their car before they both drove off.

They made their way to the airport, meeting up with a van. They got out of the bug as Clint got out of the Van.

"Cap…" Clint said.

"You know I wouldn't have called If I had any other choice," Steve said to Clint, shaking his hand.

"Hey man, you're doing me a favor," Clint said, sending a quick look to Wanda. "Besides, I owe a debt."

"Thanks for having my back," Steve said to Wanda. She sent a look to Clint

"It was time to get off my ass," Wanda said. Rebecca moved to Wanda, giving her a hug.

"I am glad you got off your ass," Rebecca told her. Wanda smiled at her.

They watched as Mr. Lang fanboyed all over Steve. Rebecca had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. Then they heard the alarms start going off.

"They are evacuating…" She said along with Bucky.

"Stark," Sam said.

"Stark?" Lang asked.

"Suit up!" Steve said. They all quickly got dressed as Steve, Bucky, Clint, and Sam planned their mode of attack. She put on her suit, scratch marks on the arm of the suit, her white bandage peeking through them. She didn't like the way it looked but it was still a safer bet than civilian clothes. Once they were ready, they all gathered around Steve to listen to the plan.

"I'm gonna walk straight in, and get their attention. Rebecca, I want you to stick with Bucky and Sam in the terminal, Clint you and Wanda in the parking garage. Recon, find their quinjet. And Lang, you can catch a ride with me," Steve told them, giving them their assignments. Wanda and Clint went off.

Steve turned to Rebecca looking right at her before saying. "Bucky… Sam, please keep her safe," He asked his friends.

"Will do," he heard them both say, before he leaned in, giving her a kiss. She could hear Bucky start to say something before Sam stopped him.

"You'll get used to it…" Sam said. They broke the kiss and she looked at him.

"You keep yourself safe." She told him, kissing him one last time before she ran off with Sam and Bucky.

"Was that really necessary?" Bucky asked.

"Actually it was. Steve gave me a power boost," She said with a smile.

"There are other ways to make skin contact," Bucky argued.

"Yes… but not as much fun," she explained. Bucky rolled his eyes.

"It's gonna take me a while to get used to you two…" He admitted quietly as they got into position.

"Do not take too long… I will get tired of those fatherly disapproving looks," She said as she pulled out binoculars, looking around from their vantage point as Sam sent out Red Wing.

"Isn't that my job…" Bucky argued back.

"Not on this current mission," Sam said as they searched. "Got you…" Sam said before he hit his coms.

"We found it. Their quinjet's in hanger five, north runway," Sam said. They got up and started to run down the terminal, trying to get to the quinjet as fast as they could.

They heard a noise outside and they all turned to the window, seeing a man in a red and blue suit.

"What the hell is that?" Bucky asked, shocked.

"Everyone's got a gimmick now," Sam said as they ran. The web crawler smashed through the window, kicking Sam backward. Bucky through a punch but the web-crawler caught his fist.

"You've got a metal arm?" He asked as Rebecca kicked him, knocking him off Bucky.

"Lady!" The boy said before Sam flew in, grabbing him and flying off with him.

The boy and Sam fought in mid-flight before Sam let him go. Bucky and Rebecca took cover behind some pillars. As Sam and the web-slinger fought, Bucky threw something at him, and the web-slinger threw it right back, nearly taking out the pillar.

"Damn that kid is strong…" Rebecca said before hitting her comms. "Sam, if you can get him close to me, I can take him out," Rebecca said.

"Easier said than done, Becs," Sam said. The web-slinger sent some webbing, catching Sam's suit, sending him crashing to the floor. The Webslinger web's Sam's wrist to the balcony railing.

"Those wings carbon fiber?" he asked, hanging on a pillar.

"Is this stuff coming out of you?" Sam asked.

"That would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome, man," The web-slinger admired.

"I don't know if you've been a fight before but there's usually not this much talking."

"Alright, sorry, my bad!" The Webslinger sent some webbing out, swinging down at Sam as Bucky jumps in front of Sam, causing the Webslinger to push both Bucky and Sam through the glass railing, down onto the next floor. The web-slinger webs them to the floor. Rebecca, who was still hiding, tries to get close to the spider thing before Red Wing comes in, dragging him off.

"You couldn't have done that earlier?" Bucky grumbles.

" I hate you," Sam says.

"We can work on your issues later, boys," She said, jumping down to them, pulling out a knife and cutting them free. They quickly made it out of the terminal. They ran as fast as they could, quickly meeting up with the rest of their group. They were running to the quinjet, almost scot-free when Visions laser, drawing a line in the ground stopped them.

"Captain Rogers. I know you believe what you're doing is right. But for the collective good, you must surrender now." He said as the rest of Tony's team assembled.

"What do we do Cap?" Sam asked. Rebecca looked between Steve and Bucky. They were ready for this.

"We fight," She heard Steve say. They started to walk, then run to the other team. She saw Tony go for Steve but she decided to help Bucky against the Black Panther. They tag teamed him, trading punches and blows with the skilled fighter. Bucky got the Black Panther by the throat.

"I didn't kill your father…" He told him.

"Then why did you run?" He asked. Before pushing Bucky off him.

"Because he's innocent, dip shit," Rebecca said, trading blows with the man, before Wanda sent him flying. She nodded to her friend before helping Bucky up. They watch Steve take out the web-crawler before meeting up with the two of them, hiding behind some crates.

"We gotta go. That guy's probably in Siberia by now," Bucky told Steve

"We gotta draw out the flyers. I'll take Vision. You get to the jet," Steve said.

"No, you three get to the jet! The rest of us aren't getting out of here," They heard Sam say.

"As much as I hate to admit it, if we're gonna win this one, some of us might have to lose it," Clint told them

"This isn't the real fight, Steve," Sam said. Steve looked at Bucky and Rebecca

"Alright, Sam, what's the play?" Steve asked.

"We need a diversion, something big," Sam said.

"I got something kind of big, but I can't hold it very long. On my signal, run like hell. And if I tear myself in half… don't come back for me," Scott said. They looked at each other confused.

"He's gonna tear himself in half?" Bucky said, mildly concerned.

"You're sure about this, Scott?" Steve asked.

"I do it all the time. I mean once… in a lab. Then I passed out. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the boss. I'm the BOSS!" They heard him say. After a moment they watched as Ant-Man grew into a giant, grabbing War Machine's leg.

"I'm guessing that's the signal," Rebecca said as they waited until everyone was distracted before making a run for the quinjet.

Steve saw Vision take down the control tower but Wanda uses her powers to keep it from collapsing. They all three push themselves to run as fast as they can before Wanda got distracted and let go of the watchtower. They all try pushing passed it, as it began to collapse on them. Bucky and Steve made it through, but Rebecca wasn't fast enough as it collapsed on her, trapping her under some of the rubble. Steve sees Natasha holding up her widow's bite and stops, before noticing that Rebecca wasn't there.

"Nat… Rebecca…" He pleads. She takes a breath.

"I'm gonna regret this," She said before discharging her weapon, stunning Black Panther. "Go, I'll make sure she's safe," Steve hesitates for a moment before Bucky grabs him, pulling him to the quinjet.

"She's strong… your friends will help her. We have to go… now!" Bucky said. It took all of Steve's willpower not to go back and help her.

Natasha stuns Black Panther again as they made their way into the quinjet, powering it up. She watched as Rebecca started to make her way out of the rubble. Rebecca jumped on the Black Panther, keeping him away from the quinjet, and Steve was thankful to see her one last time before he flew off. She closed her eyes and thought really hard.

'Good luck and take care," She sent to him. He smiled as they went off to Siberia.

"You ok?" Natasha asked her.

"Yes," Rebecca said, with a smile.
