I wanted to get this uploaded straightaway so I could start work on the next chapter.

I stood up, pulling my girlfriend up with me. I looked around to see Steve and Tony had already started making their way down and pulled Wanda in for an innocent peck. However, it got very heated very quickly and the next thing I knew I was being backed into a wall, my arms wrapped around her waist, hers around my neck, pulling each other close. We broke apart and Wanda decided to turn me into mush as she sucked on a very sensitive spot by my right ear; not enough pressure to leave a mark but plenty to make a point.

"Oh, my dear god," I moaned. "H-How did you know – ugh – that was my weak spot?"
"Because I know you well, my love." She kissed the shell of my ear.
"My god." She pulled away with a smug smile and headed downstairs.
"We gotta go, babe, job to do." I took a few moments to pull myself together, rubbing the spot where she had kissed me before followed her down the stairs. I jogged to catch up with her as she made her way to the planning room. I was at her side just as she reached the doorway. Everyone stared at us as we entered and found a seat.
"Thanks for joining us, ladies. Are you feeling better?" I exhaled deeply as I thought about what had just occurred out in the hallway.
"Much, thank you," I could hear the self-satisfaction in Wanda's tone.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen; we're going back into Sokovia." Nick cut to the chase.
"We discussed this at lunch," Tony started. "Both Wanda and Piper were correct in the fact that we do need a different approach. We've tried an air approach straight into the country but as they were saying, if we fly into the neighbouring country and approach in vehicles, we'll have an advantage. Doom will be watching the skies so we'll avoid detection."
"That's a good idea. How do we lure Doom out?"
"Doom wants us dead; Wanda and I especially. He's decided that we're going to be the ones that are to die. So…"
"We're gonna play bait," Wanda finished for me. "He wants us, he can have us but on our terms."
"No. No way," Clint and Natasha said in unison.
"Yes way, guys. We have to do this," I asserted. They folded their arms at us and we did the same.
"Piper is right. It is something we have to do. We won't get hurt, we'll be prepared for him. We'll be able to fluster him whilst we're calm and collected. It is also a manner of pride. He insulted us both, called us unworthy-" Wanda sent a pointed stare at Bruce. "-we have to change his views. The pride of being a Maximoff is not something that goes away and for him to slight it, I can't let it lie."
"If anything goes wrong, we'll have you guys."
"Fine, you can go in first. But we'll be right behind you." Tony's voice left no room for argument but Wanda went for it anyway.
"We told you, we're drawing him to us, out of that building and his comfort zone. I don't know how but we'll do it."
"We'll find a way, darling."

We all spent the next three hours coming up with various entry points and approaches to luring Doom out. We knew they could all work but had chances of failing at the same time so we had to wait until we were there to assess the situation. Fury had Hill organise that three unmarked vehicles were to be delivered into the neighbouring country for those lacking the ability to fly.

Tony and Rhodey would go in first as reconnaissance followed by Thor and Vision and the rest of us in the vehicles. Steve and Sam in the first truck, Clint and Nat in the next with myself and Wanda at the back. As driving was part of training and we had to pass the legal test, we were allowed on our own. I would be driving though; Wanda had volunteered me for that one.

After we were dismissed from the meeting, Maria took me to the armoury and issued me my pistol permanently which meant I was in charge of keeping it in working order from then on. As I holstered it, she chucked me the knives as well. I placed them onto my belt individually, checking them all over. All I needed now was my hunting knife back. As she locked the armoury back up, she handed me five fully-loaded magazines.

During the meeting, it was decided that we would go back into Sokovia, in two days' time so we had plenty of time to prepare ourselves. It was left to us to train on our own. Wanda went off to train with Vision. She wanted to try something and practise and she knew he could help her. I left her to it and headed off to the simulation room to train with my abilities. Sure, I had hand-to-hand combat, my pistol and knives in my arsenal if they're in relatively close range but the ice and snow; that's where my true power lies.

After programming in a simulation, I practised offensive measures first and then defensive, keeping myself and my simulated allies safe. As it was soon becoming a reality again, I got in as much practise as possible. I didn't retire to the room until midnight where exhaustion kicked in rather quickly. Wanda hadn't returned by the time I had so I presumed she was still in training with Vision. Quickly changing into sleepwear, I fell onto my bed. My love, I'm back in the room. I imagine I'll probably be asleep by the time you return. I'll be back in ten minutes. Can you stay awake until then? Depends. Will I get a kiss as a reward for being able to stay awake? Of course you will. Fine, I shall hold on until you return. I'll be there soon, darling.

Five minutes later, Wanda returned looking just as exhausted as I felt. I was sitting on our couch, playing with my switchblade (not my best idea, I know but it was better than twiddling my thumbs). I followed her into the room as she changed into her own sleepwear after giving me a quick peck in greeting. As soon as her pyjama top was pulled on, I wrapped my arms around her from behind, kissing her neck. She shivered before turning her head slightly to give me a long, sweet kiss. My eyes fell closed instantly. Her body turned and we stood in the middle of room, kissing gently and it was heart-stopping. She started pulling me to her bunk. Not disconnecting our lips, she lied down, pulling me on top of her. Using my arms and legs to support me, I hovered over her. My hand came up to cup her cheek, running my thumb against the soft skin. We pulled away slowly, resting foreheads together as we caught our breath.

"God, you're beautiful," I whispered.
"And you're stunning," was her reply. After another short kiss, I lied down next to Wanda and wrapped my arms around her waist to pull her flush against so I was spooning her. I placed a kiss to the side of her head, burying my face into the soft chocolate tresses. There was a soft purr in response as she moved as close to me as possible.

We fell asleep rather quickly after that, the day having taken its toll on us. Having been released from the infirmary and then going into a heavy gym session followed by Wanda and I confessing our feelings, having a confrontation with Banner and then a three-hour meeting before even more training; it was a extensively-long day.

The next day was spent training again. I went for a job around the base with Sam and Rhodey. All at our individual paces but we kept an eye on each other. Wanda was with Vision again but they were joined by Thor this time and Tony who was not-so-subtle about keeping an eye on us. He really has lost his playboy image; I'm just not buying it anymore.

At lunchtime we all sat as a group outside in the sun, relaxing as we were getting to work tomorrow and it would be dangerous. Wanda was resting her head in my lap whilst gazing up at the clouds. I ran my fingers through her hair and she all but purred. Tony helped Clint bring out enough food for all of us. Pepper made an appearance and sat herself down next to Tony, not-so-subtly brushing her arm against his. She congratulated us because of course Tony had told her about us becoming an official couple.

When lunch was finished we all went back to what we were doing beforehand but I started cleaning my pistol and knives. I set them all out on the work desk, including my switchblade and cleaned every single one as well as sharpened them. I then disassembled and reassembled the Beretta I had been issued with, cleaning and oiling every centimetre to ensure it worked correctly. I then moved on the magazines of ammunition. Checking every bullet and the magazines. It took five hours to get through it all, just in time for dinner. I placed all my weapons back onto my person and headed to the canteen where Wanda was waiting. Dinner was quick and enjoyable but still lacked colour.

We were in bed by six o'clock due to the fact we would be up at three in the morning to leave for half three. We crashed in my bed and after a kiss goodnight and fell asleep quickly.
