Tony

It was 4am and once again he had woken up in a pool of his own sweat, another panic attack, another nightmare. He sat up and swung his legs to the side of the bed and buried his face into his hands. Thanos that name still haunted his sleep. He had almost lost everything, he knew if things hadn't have gone the way they did he would have lost Pepper, lost the kid, lost underoo and hell he may have lost Felicity. Everyone he cared about, gone and with what, just a snap of his fingers. Tony looked back at the empty spot in the bed that Pepper would normally be sleeping in. Her and Felicity had been away on business and today would be the day they would finally get back, it had been three very long days. At least when Pepper was lying next to him it would help ease the nightmares, he would be more relaxed and comforted. Without her here, it was like they had lost, and this was his new life. He pulled on a t-shirt and made his way down to the lab in his sweats, as he entered the lab the imperial march started to play. "Bloody thing," Tony muttered under his breath. Felicity had forgotten to switch this off and she had persisted that she would need to be back in the headquarters to turn it off. He knew it was a lie and when underoo came to visit a couple of days ago he confirmed that she was lying. Tony pulled up the blue prints and continued to study the designs. He needed to do something, he wanted to make sure the world was protected before anything like Thanos happened again. Tony couldn't concentrate, his thoughts kept going back to the weekend and with had happened with him and Felicity.

Tony sighed, running his hands through his hair. She must have known he had never meant to let her down, he was just a kid. How can someone really be trusted to inherit a company at 21 and not make mistakes. What hurt the most is that she changed her name for her work. Did she really not want him to know about her achievements. How could he have loved someone when his own father never showed him love, his own father being an alcoholic. It killed him inside, how much his father always wanted to be like his good friend Captain America. Tony had made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he would be damned if he was to do another one.

Bucky

Bucky had been out running with Steve this morning, they were supposed to be running with Sam but they had lapped him quite a few times at this point and they were waiting for him to arrive back from the run by a tree. "You know Buck, even I'm looking forward to Felicity coming back. I'm fed up of your brooding." Steve told Bucky, smiling at his friend. Bucky could tell Steve was teasing him. The comment did make him wonder if it had been that obvious,

"I've not been brooding," Bucky responded to Steve, crossing his arms and leaning his back against the tree.

"Yeah it's just a coincidence that since Felicity has been around you've been reading more in your room."

"I don't know what you're talking about punk," Bucky responded as Sam finally approached them who appeared to be out of breath.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Sam said, between taking deep breaths and leaning down so his hands were resting on his legs.

"Buck's brooding," Steve said as they started making their way back to the headquarters.

"I wonder if that has anything to do with a certain person being away," Sam laughed as he nudged Bucky with arm. "I wonder if Tony has noticed you've been making the eyes on his sister."

Felicity

Felicity had finally made it back to the headquarters, Pepper had taken herself straight of to her room to sleep. Felicity had bought take out back with her, much to Happy's annoyance for her stinking out the car. But he didn't seem to mind for long when she had mentioned to him she had bought food for him as well. Felicity was walking down the corridor when she heard a familiar voice,

"Oh good, it's you." Tony said as he started walking with her down the corridor, "Good time?"

Felicity raised her eyebrows at her brother, "What do you want?" she laughed at him, she could tell Tony had been waiting around for her.

"Oh nothing to speak," Tony had started but was interrupted as they entered the common room and the imperial march started playing causing Felicity to laugh. "Just getting rid of that," Tony finished pointing up to the ceiling. Felicity put down her food and took out her tablet and she could see Tony eagerly watching as she typed in a few things and removed it.

"Done," she said smiling up at her brother and placing the tablet back into her bag and opening her food.

"See, I was really starting to enjoy that" She could hear Sam say from behind her, Felicity turned round to face where Sam's voice had come from. Felicity laughed at him,

"Well you never know, it could become his new theme tune,"

"Not a chance!" Tony interrupted them, "Have you know I already have a song after me," Tony then bought his attention back to Felicity, "anyway the reason I came looking for you, tomorrow your schedule has been cleared so you and the rest of the girls can get your outfits sorted."

Felicity gave Tony a thumbs up as she started to dig into her food. Felicity sat with Sam, Steve and Natasha for a couple more hours before saying her goodbyes. Felicity tried to hide her disappointment that she hadn't seen Bucky since she got back, she didn't really want to admit it but she had missed him.

Felicity made it to her room and opened the door, she closed it behind her and went to switch on the light when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her. "What took you so long?" the familiar voice whispered in her ear, sending chills down her body. Felicity turned around so her back was now against the wall, Bucky's arms still wrapped around her waist. The light from the windows just gave her enough light to see Bucky's features and the way his eyes were just piercing through her. Felicity grabbed Bucky's collar of his top and pulled him close, "if this isn't stalking, I don't know what is," Felicity could see Bucky's smirk and instead of responding, he closed the gap between them and started kissing her.
