Bubbles, it had been the only way as a kid that her mother had been able to get Robin into the bathtub. Robin had loved the smell, the pink color, everything about bath time was only fun when there were bubbles involved. Just a regular bath, no, Robin would refuse to even get into the thing if there wasn't a sense of fun involved in it. She loved the special times where her mother would go out and get something different, some different colors, or something that would make bath time more bearable. Hell, Robin had gone a whole two weeks once without taking a bath when she was a kid because she had been left alone and didn't know how to make the bubbles, so she just didn't take. That's how she felt when it came to her little sister, if there wasn't a sense of fun then there was no need to take it, so Robin always kept some under the sink in the bathroom both Cecilia. Now it was getting used for James and Robin. She poured some in and light up some candles, feeling a little embarrassed getting into a bubble bath with a man that she hadn't even had sex with.

There was nothing sexual about it though, the tub was small so Robin Robin fist tried to sit so that they were just face one another, but kept hitting her back off of the faucet, which was actually starting to really hurt, so finally she just turned her back and leaned in to James's chest. Yeah, it was awkward at first, but then the childish giggling started and that was that. They just sat in the tub, letting the bubbles pop and James even tried to give her a back massage, though it was with only one hard, Robin was grateful no matter what. It was the first time in awhile that someone had even offered to give her one, let alone her allowing them to. She felt her head fall back against his shoulder, making it still hard to give a proper, one handed, back massage. She could feel every ache and pain in her body melt away with the bubbles and the candles as they just sat there, talking to one another, and just allowing the day to pass by around them.

That's when he finally started to open up about everything that he knew, everything that he could remember from the past and from beyond that, from the times where he was Captain America's best friend, which even he had his doubts about. He remember the man, the face that is, but then again who the hell didn't know about the great Captain America? But it was true, everyone could tell it – besides Robin who was going to kick herself for the rest of time for not figuring it out – that he was in fact Bucky, but it just made her wonder why they were chasing him around, who in the world James had even met up with Steve Rogers yet again, or how it was that he was even alive, he fell off a cliff for god sake. He told her about how Hydra had taken him over, how they would take everything awake from him, all of his memories, if he became too weak for them. He knew that they had but all he could remember was the pain from it, and then, then everything would go blank again. James knew that he had had a past, but he would just become like a machine yet again, doing whatever it was the Hydra wanted him to do, that was one thing that he did not talk about, what they made him do. He was giving her little kisses on the back of the neck when they heard the door open, Robin knew that it was too early for the kids to be getting home and that made James nervous, but she also knew those feet from anywhere and just closed the curtain.

" Little bird! Little bird!" Jordan cried out before crashing into the bathroom. " Ahh, there you are little bird!"

" What?!" She groaned, refusing to even show her face outside of the bathtub, trying to hold back a laugh because he didn't even notice that James was no where to be found in the apartment.

" Do you thin that your boy toy would mind if we went out for a bit? I need a few shots tonight and I know how you get when you have a few too many of those tequila shots in you, start acting all nasty on the dance floor with your fuck me, bedroom eyes, but I really need to get out tonight." Jordan said as he hopped up onto her sink.

" I do not have fuck me, bedroom eyes." Robin sighed as she rested her head on James's chest, who was looking down at her curiously. " And those were like double shots." Robin added.

" Whatever, the matter of the fact is that I need to get out on the town tonight and you are my best shot of having any guys near me, even if you are not on the market anymore, I still sadly am." Jordan said as he started to rummage through her medicine draw.

" I've had one hell of a day too, but I think that it would be better for me to stay right here for tonight. Besides, with the kids to worry about, and James, I think that I should just stay at home." Robin said, trying to get him out of the bathroom.

" Nah! They'll be fine, I already ordered pizza for thing two and thing three, your man better like pepperoni though, cause that's all he's getting." Jordan was not going to leave anytime soon. " Where is the boy anyway? He wasn't on the couch, his shoes are here though," He gasped as he stood up from the sink. " Girl! Girl! Do not tell me he is in the bedroom! Did you do the nasty with him!?" He asked as he rushed out and started to go into the bedroom before coming back.

" Nah, we haven't yet." Robin said, having to place her hand around James's mouth to keep him from laughing, though she loved the sound of his laugh.

" Oh lord." Jordan finally said as he understood and both Robin and James just peeked around the shower curtain with the biggest smiles on their faces, yeah, they were taking a bubble bath together and laughing like five year olds, no big deal. " Oh my Christ. You guys were doing the nasty in a bubble bath, way to ruin even the best childhood stuff. You, Robin, are a childhood ruiner, I hope that you are happy with yourself. Now get out, you owe me a drink for that one. Get your fake I.D. cause we are going out to an early taco-tequila Thursday. No fighting me now."

" We'll I guess we'll have to cut this short, when he starts saying things like Christ and lord, you know that you are fucked. I should be back before seven, save me some pizza." She whispered as she gave him a kiss before pulling herself from the water and getting out, pulling a towel over her body and quickly getting ready.

She waited until they were out and about, walking to the restaurant of Jordan's choice before she even started to talk about her day and why she kept looking over her shoulder every five seconds, expecting to get steamed rolled by patriotic justice. Jordan was stunned, shocked into silence as they just kept walking. The two of them together should have been able to put the pieces together, but neither of them had even thought that it was possible let alone that the man that had been Captain America's best friend was now sleeping on a girl from New York's couch, or that she was falling head of heels for him. When she got to the point that they had nearly been tackled by him today, Jordan started to look over his shoulder too, making sure that they weren't being followed too, he was better at keeping an eye out for the unusual than she was. They slipped into one of Jordan's favorite little spots to eat and were seated near the front of the restaurant, someplace where they could slip out easily.

" So you hit him with your shoe? Right in that boys pretty little face? Girl, I knew that you had a little fight in you, but I mean your shoe? You couldn't have thrown something like a stick from a tree or something?" Jordan asked through another shot.

" No! James was running so fast that I couldn't even see mot things, besides fucking Captain America running right at me with his wingman coming too. If I would have been smart I would have thrown my bra at him, I heard that he was a virgin when he was frozen so I doubt that he's gotten laid since, bet he would have been frozen there for a day! That was nice pair of running shoes too!" Robin muttered as she twirled around her margarita, she had barely started to drink it.

" I know, but little bird, why do you think that they were running after him? Do you think that they were out looking for him?" Jordan questioned.

" I am still having a problem with wrapping my head around the fact that he is who he is and that I hit Steve Rogers in the head with my running shoe!" Robin said, chuckling over the face that the man had made when it had hit him.

" Well all I know is that whatever they want with James, you better not allow them to take him, because if they do, we both know that you will not be seeing from him again. Even with their not being a S.H.I.E.L.D Captain cute-butt will find something for his best friend to be doing, which will take him far, from you. I mean, unless another Asgaridan comes down here and tries to take over New York City, then maybe you'll see him again." Jordan said as he started to drink her drink.

" Well if he does take him, maybe I'll just have to be the one to summon an alien race and try and take over New York City to see him again. You know how girls can get when they hadn't seen their man for awhile." Robin smiled as she got up from her seat and started to walk out of the restaurant, Jordan stumbling beside of her.

" I can't believe that you didn't tell me that you two had even gotten to first base, I mean I would have thought that there would have been fireworks stating it, that you would be shouting it from the rooftops, like 'I JUST GOT A HOT MAN TO KISS ME AND NOW WE GONNA DO THE DO!'" Jordan mocked, screaming as if he were her, making her laugh as she slapped her hands across his face.

" You are the reason why I do not go out in public more often, you know that?" Robin chuckled as Jordan wrapped his arm around hers.

" You are the reason why I get out more often, to remind the both of us that there is a life besides living at home and the lives that we used to have." Jordan smiled as they kept walking back to her apartment, it was just getting dark and the two felt like walking through the cool air. " You could be traveling all around the world, you know that I would still be by your side the whole time, and living out your dreams. But you have to be the good sister and stay here with Cecilia and Simon."

" Dreams change, people have to change sometimes too. That dream died with my parents, Jordan, we have been through this before. See, this is why I hate it when you drink, you forget everything." Robin sighed as they took a turn, leaving most of the crowds of people and that's when she saw him again.

Steve Rogers was walking straight towards them, and even Robin knew then, her and Jordan could not fight off the super solider. He looked scary, he looked like he was on a mission, her body was telling her to book it. So that's what she did, she grabbed onto Jordan as hard as she could and started to run, as fast as she could, back in the other direction. But that's when she found the other man from that morning coming at her, blocking them in. She thought about hucking another shoe at the man, but knew that would be pointless, plus it would lose her another good pair of shoes. With the flight option crossed out they fight of flight skills were really seeming useless as she started to feel like a trapped animal. Her and Jordan both had the same instincts as Jordan pulled out some pepper spray from his back pocket and Robin picked up a metal pipe from the side of a building, ready to swing at any moment.

" Try and take her, or even hurt her, and you will be in a world of pain for a month because I am far to buzzed to stop myself and I would really hate to see that pretty little face get hurt." Jordan hissed, ready to spray either of them if they got any closer.

" I would hate to bash in that pretty little face." Robin said through her teeth, hands clenched tightly around the pipe.

" Whoa, whoa, we just wanna talk." The man that she didn't recognize said as he put his hands up. " We don't have any weapons on us, we just wanna talk."

" Yeah, well why the hell did you chase after me this morning then, huh? Didn't seem like you wanted to talk then!" Robin yelled, not putting down her only weapon.

" We just want Bucky, we have not problems with you." Captain Rogers said as he placed his hands up too.

" Bucky's James, yeah?" Jordan whispered to the girl.

" Uh huh." Robin whispered back.

" Oh hell no! You ain't gonna take him away." Jordan yelled, stepping closer to the man, pepper spray ready. " I don't know what the hell you think you gonna do, coming in here with your fine ass, but lemme make sure one thing is certain, you ain't taking her man away."

" What he said and trust me, these shoes are gonna hurt a lot worse than the ones that I had on this morning." Robin stated as she showed them her heels with spikes on the back.

" Here, let's start over again. I'm Steve Rogers and this is Sam Wilson." The superhero stated.

" Yeah, well the whole world knows who you are, if not for in Germany than for what you did in New York." Robin rolled her eyes.

" Can I get your name?" Captain Rogers asked with a soft smile.

" No." Robin said coldly. " Names can lead you to where I live, which would not be good, seeing as you stalked me here."

" Well then, Miss, I think that I have something for you." He said with a smile, not letting her words affect him as he lifted his arm to show her her shoe, he had kept it. He placed it at the end of the pipe she was still holding up, the laces still tied up sending it to her. " I just want to make sure that my friend is okay."

" James? He is more than fine with little bird around, he's perfect, if you ask me-" Robin slammed her elbow into her friends ribcage.

" Yeah, your friend is safe in my hands. He's eating, he's getting like fourteen hours of sleep a day, he's bathing-"

" Oh is he bathing." Jordan chuckled making Robin hit him again.

" I swear to god I am going to use this pipe against you." Robin hissed to her friend. " What I am trying to say is he's fine. He's. . . he's starting to remember things to. He's remembering stuff, like the fact he used to live around here, or the fact that he remembers your face, he remembered both of you, that's why he took off this morning. He remembers Hydra, whatever they did to him, he remembers the suffering that they put him through, they'd take everything from him if he became too disobedient. Wipe his memory clean, I can only imagine the pain. But he is starting to remember things." Robin said, not wanting to look up to the captain.

" Does he remember that I'm his friend?" He asked to her.

" I. . . I don't know. He's just starting to remember these things, he. . . he really doesn't even know who he is. But I'm guessing from him running that he doesn't." Robin shrugged, so unsure of what was happening. " Why. . . why did he run from you two? How does he know you guys? Seeing as you're a friggen Avenger and you were obviously from S.H.I.E.L.D."

" How. . . how do you know that I am?" Sam asked, scowling at the girl.

" I have my ways of knowing stuff." Robin said, scowling right back at the man.

" Plus, it is basically written all over your face." Jordan added.

" He. . . he was on the other side of one of my missions, we were basically one anothers missions by the end of it. But he was under control of Hydra. He really didn't have a choice." Captain Rogers said, she could see the sorrow that was written all over his face. " How did you two meet?" He asked, his whole face just looked like he could crumble at any time.

" He saved my life. . . well he saved me from being raped atleast, he most likely saved me from being killed too. He took a knife for me and well. . . I brought him home, patched him up, and we basically became friends after that." Robin shrugged.

" Oh they are so much more than friends now." Jordan added, crossing his arms.

" Your dating him?" Sam said as Robin rolled her eyes.

" Technically no. We're not official or anything." Robin sighed as she felt so embarrassed and angry at her friend.

" They're official in their own way, trust me." Jordan said with a faint nod and a smile. She was going to kill the boy by the end of this.

" Do you know what they did to him? Or how he is still even alive?" Robin asked, bringing the conversation away from her relationship and back to James in general, as she finally lowered her pipe.

" That's for another time. There are some things that are better left unsaid." The captain said.

" Well. . . your friend is in my hands, my care. And trust me, just as much as he is protecting me, I'm going to make sure to protect him. So you have nothing to really worry about, or to be following me around for." Robin said as she pulled her shoe off of the pipe before dropping it.

" Well here," Captain Rogers said as he pulled out a little notebook and wrote something on it before handing it to her, " if there is anything that is ever wrong with him, or if he gets too out of hand for you, call me. I'll be there as soon as possibly, any time of day."

" Thank you, Captain Rogers." Robin stated as she placed her hand out, shaking the mans hand before she started to pull Jordan away from the two, towards her apartment building.

" Ma'am?" He called to her as she spun around, she could see the sorrow in his eyes still, from not being able to make her bring him to his best friend. " Just. . . just take care of him, for me?"

" You got it, Cap." She said with a smile as she walked, quickly, away.
