a/n - thank you everyone for your feedback and reviews. Really pleased to see that I gave some people a few chuckles with some of my previous chapters.
Felicity
Felicity couldn't open her eyes, it was bright wherever she was. Her head was pounding. There was a ringing noise going through her ears. She was relieved she wasn't deaf as she could hear Tony pottering beside her. "What ales you Felicity, tell me everything dear?"
Felicity groaned, "the lights" she murmured.
"FRIDAY, dim the lights" Tony said, and Felicity could hear him positioning himself next to her.
Felicity opened her eyes slowly, and saw that Tony was now sitting next to her and Bruce was standing behind him. She was lying in a bed attached to machines monitoring her vitals.
"How are you feeling Felicity?" Bruce asked her, both of them looked concerned.
"My head is pounding. Please tell me we stopped the hack." Felicity asked, trying to sit up but the rush of movement made her yelp out in pain causing Tony to ease her back down onto the bed.
"We did, but that alarm seemed to have a really bad effect on you." Tony said, now moving back onto his seat.
"Yeah we've started running some tests, so you need to stay down here for a few more hours." Bruce told her, looking through some notes. "So far everything has come back clear."
Felicity nodded as Bruce left the area giving her and Tony some privacy. "Do we know anything more?" Felicity asked Tony, who now pinched the bridge of his nose.
"No, I still don't get how they were able to override FRIDAY. I've been looking into the system and running tests and scans but nothing is coming back." Tony responded, and Felicity nodded taking everything in. She looked at Tony who looked absolutely dreadful.
"Tony, you look like how I feel. Go rest and in a couple of hours we will go through some other options. I have an idea." Felicity looked at Tony who looked like he was going to protest, "i will stop FRIDAY calling you Mr Stank." This seemed to work as Tony now got up to leave the lab. She gave him an encouraging smile when he turned back around before leaving the lab.
Felicity sat there for a moment, composing her thoughts. So, they needed to try and hack into stark industries themselves, but how could they. Tony knew everything about the system because he designed it and Felicity knew it herself, what other computer genius would know how to hack a system. It then hit her, she knew exactly who to call. She took out her tablet and called the only other person she knew could help, she sat there waiting for an answer and it ended up going to voicemail. Felicity looked at the time, of course the phone went to voicemail. Underoo was still at school.
Bucky
Bucky was pacing up and down the apartment, he wanted to check on Felicity and make sure she was okay. Tony and Bruce had taken her down to the medic area and told everyone they didn't want to be disturbed. It's not like he could just go up to Tony and be like 'hey I helped kill your parents when I was under mind control, but can I come with you and check on your little sister because we make out most nights.' Yeah that would go down well.
He was trapped in his own thoughts he didn't even hear Steve come back into the apartment until he started talking. "I've just spoken to Tony and he said shes awake."
Bucky nodded, "I'm going to go see her," he told told Steve making his way towards the door. He didn't care if this was a good idea or not, he needed to make sure she was okay. He made his way down to the medic area and he saw her. She was sat up,in bed going through her tablet.
"Shouldn't you be resting?" He said entering the area, he watched as Felicity looked up and smiled at him.
"I am resting. Can't you see that I'm in bed?" She raised an eyebrow at him as she placed her tablet down.
Bucky signaled towards the tablet as he sat down next to her, "you call that resting?"
Felicity shrugged, "well I didn't have you here to keep me company."
Bucky let out a laugh, "do you ever stop flirting?"
Bucky watched as Felicity now laughed at his comment, "wow Bucky Barnes complaining about a girl flirting with him. Gone off me of a sudden?"
"Not a chance" he told her, picking up her hand and giving her knuckles a light kiss.
Felicity
Felicity was relieved when she saw Bucky enter the room. If she was brave enough to admit it, she was a bit disappointed when she woke up and he wasn't there, but she completely understood that this was rather complicated. They've not once even discussed if this was anything and with her leaving within the year, was it really going to go anywhere? Though if he did ask her, she would stay but this was a conversation to have in the distant future. Felicity's thoughts were interrupted by Bucky touching her arm, "Felicity, are you listening?" She looked over at him and he looked worried.
"Sorry, I was lost in my own thoughts. What were you saying?" She asked, giving him a reassuring smile.
"I said your tablet is going off." He told her, nodding towards it. Felicity quickly grabbed it and Peter's name came up on the screen.
Before she could even say anything after answering it, Peter started rambling. "Sorry miss stark, I was at school in gym class and didn't see my phone. What's wrong? Do you need me?" He kept rambling and Felicity quickly cut him off mid sentence,
"Peter, calm down. First off, don't call me miss stark and second, where can I get Happy to pick you up from?"
