YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY!
Desi and Loki set up in an apartment, as promised, and made quick work of setting up their stuff, but Desi froze when she saw the apartment had a single one-bedroom apartment.
Desi checked out the area, checking their surroundings before she settled herself on what was available for them. They were fully stocked on food, clothes, and books, and even had a radio and television; but saw there were folders with tops suspects on file for them to look out for.
Desi had made them some food for breakfast before going over the files with Loki before their shift started that night. With time to kill, Desi took out a random book called Sense and Sensibility and sat on the sofa, when Loki laid his head on her lap.
"Will you read that aloud for us, darling?" Loki asked.
"I almost wish you'd read, your voice is more…sensual than mine." Desi told him.
"You find my voice distracting?" Loki asked with a mischievous grin.
"I said it was sensual, not distracting." Desi pointed out before she began to read out loud.
Loki closed his eyes, remembering their days together back at Asgard, enjoying this moment more than he thought possible. Being tagged to other agents was a nuisance but finally having a lone time with Desi was all that he wanted.
Her lover Barnes was a possessive oat, whereas Thor was a busybody; glad to have any chance with Desi. Loki would not make the same mistake. Loki was intent to gain as much attention as Bucky, but he didn't think Desi was prepared for the possibility of a fourth.
Everyone has seen the way Steve Rogers glanced at Desi, stealing any time he could with her, but Loki could see Roger's hesitation was only because of Barnes. Steve looked like the type to put others before himself, but it was interesting to see where this would go.
Time was edging closure to their departure and Desi excused her to get ready.
Desi wore a short sleeveless black sparkly dress with a v-cut to show her cleavage, with slits up her thighs. Desi slipped on silver short heels with black eyeliner, and silver eyeshadow with nude lipstick before she made her way into the living room.
Loki froze at her attire, biting his hand as he contemplated if he should let her leave the house in that attire.
"Ready to go, Mischief?" Desi teased, smirking at his reaction.
Loki stood up, approaching her slowly as he wrapped his arms around her waist, brushing his lips against hers.
"You temptress. I have half a mind to keep you home to myself." Loki said softly.
Desi smiled, feeling bold as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a long and sensual kiss. Loki lost himself for a moment, before he tightened his grip, dominating the kiss before he pulled away.
"Good thing it's just you and me." Desi spoke, giving him one last chaste kiss before she pulled away from him.
Desi quickly adapted to her position as a dancer, knowing quickly her female partner was Stephanie. It was Steph's first assignment she was lead on and seeing Lemi again definitely put her more at ease.
Loki was Desi's rock.
Whenever Desi was done working on someone, Loki would pull her into his lap and calm her down until she was ready but kept his eyes on her throughout the night, which she appreciated more than anything. At the end of their shift, Desi would report to Stephanie of who what she learned before calling it a night.
Coming back home, Loki was having a hard time keeping his hands to himself and Desi was feeling buzzed from the alcoholic drinks offered to her. Once they were behind closed doors, Loki pushed Desi up against their apartment door, Desi wrapping her legs around his waist as his mouth assaulted her throat.
Desi moaned with anticipation as Loki carried them through the living room and into their bedroom, placing her on the bed before he tore off his shirt. Desi unzipped her dress, sliding it off over her head as Loki took her left foot up to his mouth, kissing her ankle as he made down her calf.
Loki's green eyes never left Desi's as he made his way down her thigh, feeling herself growing wet from his ministrations as he made his way up her covered sex. Loki slid her thong off before kissing her pussy lips, spreading her open before he flicked her pearl, making Desi throw her head back with a painful moan.
"I haven't even started, pet." Loki spoke before he plunged his tongue into her pussy,
Desi arched her back from the increased pressure, feeling his long fingers enter her as his mouth continued to assault her abused clit, driving her crazy.
"Loki, please, I'm…Oh, God!" Desi panted heavily, letting out an explosive moan before she came, her mind exploding as she tried to collect herself.
"Are you ready for more from this 'God', pet?" Loki teased as he climbed over her.
Desi could only nod as she tried to come back down from her crash, but Loki lifted one leg, bending one of Desi's knees to her chest as he slid his cocked into her pulsating heat, her moan assaulting his ears.
"God, please…" she moaned out in a whimper, the pleasure was almost too much for her as Loki continued his slow pace, enjoying watching her reaction beneath him. Loki felt himself getting closer to his release and picked up his pace in his thrusts, grunting as Desi reveled in pleasure.
"Loki…" Desi moaned, and that egged Loki on his brutal pace as his release came closer. His grunts became louder, his release coming as Desi repeated moaning his name over and over as she felt her lower stomach tighten.
Loki groaned one last time as he exploded into her, Desi moaning is name as she crashed from her second orgasm, panting heavily as sh tried to collect herself. Loki rolled off of her, pulling her back against his back as they collected themselves.
"Are you alright, darling?" Loki whispered in her ear.
"I'm going to need, that was, wow." Desi was nearly speechless, making Loki smirk at her reaction.
"Sleep, my dear." Loki insisted.
"Okay, darling." Desi whispered, yawning before she fell asleep in Loki's arms.
Days turned into three weeks, and Desi was growing concerned.
She knew there was always a possibility that they'd stay undercover longer but Stephanie had reported that Fury went ghost, concerning her in terms of where they go from there. Desi and Loki had just come home from getting groceries when they saw a figure on their sofa.
Loki pulled out his daggers, ready to fight off the intruder when Desi held him back, recognizing the intruder.
"Oh my god, Fury!" Desi came to his side, saw his injuries, and went straight to work.
"SHIELD has been compromised."
Desi looked over to the voice and saw Agent Hill standing against the wall, away from the windows.
"Hydra, isn't it?" Desi asked as she finished with Fury, who still slept soundly on the sofa.
"They came out of nowhere and got the jump on Fury. As of right now, you didn't see him." Hill advised her, glad to see Fury was healed.
"Done. What happens now, though?" Desi asked.
"Avengers have been put on alert; all are reporting back to the compound. As for the agents, it's going to be a challenge; we haven't documented your abilities, so we can't ask you to comb through them without putting a target on your back." Hill explained,
"Your orders are to close down the club tonight and send the agents home, it's safer this way. Report back to the compound once you're done."
Desi looked down at Fury, his eyes were wide open as he looked over at Desi.
"Take it easy, okay? Your arm was broken." Desi advised him.
"But the task is easy enough, we'll be heading back once we're done." Loki assured Fury.
"Before I forget," Hill handed Desi a set of keys, "Tony made you a custom bike. Use this to come back, it's safer to drive without any bugs in the car."
"Steve and Natasha are still out on their assignment," Fury spoke, sitting up as he rolled his shoulders, "I'll be meeting them within a few hours to finish this, but they're going to attack any special assignments I created, including yours. Don't do anything crazy, understand?"
"Understood, in and out." Desi assured him.
"Good, we should get going before they find this place. I'll be in contact once it's clear." Fury said as he stood, following Agent Hill as they left the building.
Desi and Loki made sure to get rid of any personal items, burning everything, they had before Desi got dressed in blue jeans and a blush halter top with canvas shoes before she made her way into the kitchen where Loki awaited her.
"Ready to go, beloved?" Loki asked, giving her a kiss on the forehead as he saw the concern on Desi's face.
"Yeah, of course." Desi answered, smiling up at him in reassurance.
Loki took Desi's hand in his before they left the apartment.
It was almost over.
Arriving at the club, the place was already bustling but Loki had yet to release her hand as they pushed through the crowd as he lead the way toward the bar. Steph smiled when she Desi but when she saw her attire, Steph knew something was up.
"Hey, everything okay?" Steph asked as she hugged Desi.
"There's a family emergency, we're going to have to close up for the night." Desi informed her, flashing Steph an apologetic smile.
Steph's smile dropped, replaced with a grimace look.
"Understood, please help me escort everyone out." Steph replied, nodding over to Lemi.
"Excuse me bros, hoes, and non-binary hoes: we are closing the club for the night. We do apologize, your tabs will be covered. Please collect your IDs and please get yourself home safely." Lemi announced, Desi glancing around the bar beside Loki.
Desi had helped everyone the best they could when the team finally made their way to the exits with the others, Loki holding the door open for everyone when his eyes widened in horror.
"Loki, what- "
"Duck!"
Desi didn't hesitate to jump aside when a large metallic table knocked on the door, looking back to see who threw that. She paled when saw a handful of men staring at her, and she took a deep breath.
"Jarvis, warn Tony."
"Tony, I have an incoming message from- "
"Jarvis, I'm kind of busy right now." Tony spoke as Bucky held up a large piece of metal for Tony as Peter watched in awe.
"Wow, Mr. Barnes! That's so amazing!" Peter chimed.
"It's from Ms. Stark." Jarvis insisted.
"Drop that, pull up her comms and location."
"She's at SpooderRai Nightclub in Washington, sir. Pulling up vids now." Jarvis said as the vids came up.
"Notify Captain for me, in case he's still in the area." Tony told him as he pulled up Desi's comm, watching her as she hid behind the bar.
Bucky and Peter loomed behind Tony, watching as the scene unfolded before them.
Desi ducked as bullets ricocheted through the bar, casting a small dome over herself as she considered her options.
"Darling, are you hurt?" Loki asked, Desi hearing him clearly hitting the door behind her.
"I'm fine for now, but they threw a lot of metal to barricade the door; you're going to need to find another way in." Desi spoke.
"Angel, what do you have on you?" Desi sighed in relief when she heard Tony's voice.
"Dad…I have just the suit. I can create my shield though." Desi answered.
"I'm on eroute, ETA 5, maybe 10 minutes." Steve's voice rang out from the comms before more shots came her way.
"Should I call Thor?" Desi asked.
"Already alerted him, his ETA is going to be 12-15 minutes, Angel." Tony told her.
Desi created another dome around herself, alarming Loki and Steve.
"What's happening?" Steve asked.
"She's retrieving fire again; she's not going to make it. 10 men are closing in on her," Tony alerted her, "Reindeer, you and others have to find another way in."
"Mortal, are any other entrances, or exits to this place? Any windows?" Loki asked.
"No, it's underground you idiot. Now help Lemi and I bust the metal back." Steph's voice rang out.
Desi let out a deep breath, they were going to get the jump on her, and she was just going to lie here.
"Desi, I know that look. Don't you dare…" Desi heard Bucky's voice and she chuckled.
"I just need five minutes, right? Till the end of the line." Desi spoke as she double-tapped her bracelets.
"…Till the end of the line, doll."
Desi pulled the gaiter mask cover over her mouth, her eyes only visual as the bar was pulled back. Desi created her shield, shield bashing the man out of the way before she took off on foot. She felt the bullets bounce off her shield, deflecting any attack coming her way until she was throwing her shield, knocking back a few other enemies.
Desi repeated her assault, using any objects around her to help. As the shield hit another attacker, Desi's eyes widened when she saw it did no damage to the last man standing.
Could it be…?
"Is that…a super soldier?" Desi asked out loud.
The attacker screamed at her as he charged at her, making her throw another shield that had the same no-effect.
"Oh, shit, shit, shit!" Desi squealed as she jumped from the stage onto the tables, avoiding him until she spun around a pole kicking him in the chest.
The attacker grabbed her legs and threw her into the pole, making her fall to the floor in pain.
"Yup, definitely a super soldier…" she grunted as she scrambled onto her foot.
"I'm here! Stay clear of him." Steve spoke through the comm.
"I'll try but believe me, I've tried already that." Desi complained as she quickly tried to avoid his assaults.
"Help clear the civilians." Steve yelled.
"Let me help!" Loki yelled.
"Your magic is muffled; you're needed up here! Now, go!" Steve yelled, Desi heard the loud noises coming from the barrier; Steve was getting through.
Desi fought off the assailant as best she could until he grabbed her hair, yanking her up onto her hair. She cried out in pain as she felt the pull from her scalp, feeling around her belt area when she felt a familiar hilt on her side.
Desi looked down and saw the dagger her father had given her, and she unsheathed it. She saw the metal frame bounce from the door, Steve standing there in his Captain America armor, his shield in hand, his eyes enraged when he saw her being dangled.
"I'm sorry…" Desi whispered before she reached back, cutting off her hair wildly. As Desi hit the floor, Steve threw his shield at the assailant, throwing the man back a couple of steps as Desi stood. As the man charged at Rogers, Steve threw the shield again only for the super soldier to grab and throw it aside, punching Steve to the ground.
Desi grabbed her dagger before she charged at him, jumping on his back as she stabbed into him. The assailant cried out in pain, grabbing Desi by his shoulder before he took out the dagger. Desi yelped as he stabbed her in the shoulder before he threw her into the wall, the wall crumbling over her as she went through the wall.
"Destiny!" Steve yelled as he charged at the assailant, relentless in his assault until he finally knocked out the assailant before going after Destiny. Steve ran out, noticing her hand sticking out from the debris, pushing everything off her until he finally had her in his arms. Steve pulled her into his arms, noticing her dagger still in her shoulder, her face covered in dirt and scratches. Her body was still, and he checked for a pulse.
"Jarvis, what's her status?" Steve asked.
Desi suddenly gasped, coughing painfully as she turned into Steve's chest, wincing as she felt the stabbing pain.
"Hey, you're okay, you're okay." Steve said softly, cradling Desi's face as he caressed her cheek, relieved to see Desi alright. To see her in such a way within his reach pained him. He should've protected her better…
"Steve, can you pull it out, please?" Desi asked in a painful voice to Steve, her eyes pleading to him as they became droopy. Steve stared into her eyes, giving her an apologetic smile before he pulled out the dagger. Desi cried out, whimpering in pain as Steve pulled her closer to him, her head now in his shoulder as she teared up.
"I'm gonna…pass out. Can someone get my hair, please?" Desi told him, her eyes drooping again.
"We will get it, I promise you. Can you heal yourself?" Steve asked again.
"I just…need to rest first. I'm fine, promise." Desi assured him, smiling softly before she passed out in his arms.
Steve clutched onto her as he lifted her bringing her mask back up as he entered the club once more. Loki was standing there, her hair in his hands already but his eyes was glued on Desi's figure. Steve saw the SHEILD agents clearing the area for them, but he ignored all of them when he made his way to his truck.
He was taking her home.
Upon arrival, Steve never left her side as she recovered in the med bay, but the team would periodically check on her throughout the night. Steve kept replaying Desi going through the wall, but she never complained, keeping her smile until the end. Steve heard Desi moan and smiled when she saw her brown eyes glancing over to him with a smile.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Steve asked softly, glad to see Desi awake.
"Like I was just thrown through a wall. What is it about me that makes people say, "I want to take a stab at Destiny?" Desi said, attempting to joke, but hissed in pain when even laughing hurt her.
Steve smirked at her attempt to make it funny, but it still didn't change the guilt he felt.
"Stark humor, I see. Do you think you can heal yourself?" Steve asked her, feeling her nod.
Desi brought a hand up to her stab wound, groaning as she felt her aches and pains slowly disappear.
"Oh man, that feels so much better." Desi said, smiling in relief as she snuggled into the bed.
Steve smiled, but he stared into her eyes more intently, and Desi couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. Steve stood up, cupping her cheek, and Desi's eyes widened at his sudden closeness.
"Steve?"
"You fought until I got there…but to see you go hurt in such a way…" Steve took a breath, and Desi felt his emotions; bold, happy, angry, afraid, "I've been holding back because of Buck, but tonight confirmed one thing. It's how I feel about you…I don't want to lose you without telling you."
Desi watched Steve, alarmed when Steve leaned down, sliding his hand into her hair, closing his eyes as he pressed his lips firmly into hers.
"You son of a bitch!"
Desi gasped as Bucky pulled Steve out of the room, punching Steve in the face as the team came into the room.
"Peter, stay with her!" Tony chimed in as Peter entered the room, a frazzled Desi looking up at him.
"Steve just kissed me, didn't he?" Desi asked, processing what just happened.
"Uh, yeah, he did. Bucky didn't take kindly to it." Peter informed her, smiling lamely at her.
Desi winced as she could hear the fighting, and she pouted, "It's my fault, isn't it?"
"No, no, no, none of this is on you. I promise. You're just, really popular." Peter assured her lamely, but Desi looked troubled with that.
"Barnes, control yourself!" Thor yelled out as he tried to pull him back, Nat standing between Buck and Steve as the super soldiers glared at one another.
"Buck, I'm sorry." Steve told him, but Bucky wasn't hearing it.
"You knew how I felt about her, and you said you'd back off!" Bucky told him.
"Like how you backed off all those girls I liked back in the day?" Steve brought up, making Bucky scoff.
"The only girl you liked was Peggy, and I never approached her." Bucky defended.
"I'm sorry, I really did try. Everything I have done was because I was selfless. I won't be selfless about this anymore; I want Desi just as much as you do." Steve spoke up.
Bucky stared hard into Steve, refusing to back away when Desi began to cough uncontrollably. Peter rubbed her back as Tony came into the room, scanning over her.
"Why don't we talk about this, huh? All of us?" Thor suggested as he clasped his hands over the super soldier's shoulders.
"And preferably set a limit, shall we?" Loki spoke sarcastically.
Bucky looked over to Desi once more, and she smiled at him.
"Hurry back, okay?" Desi told him as Tony closed the door behind them.
"Go on, lover boys, work it out." Nat told them, ushering them outside.
Desi woke up to the feeling of someone stroking her hair, her eyes squinting awake when she saw Bucky over her.
"I just brought you to your bed, go back to sleep." Bucky ushered her but Desi pouted, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Don't leave me." Desi whined, making Bucky chuckle at her behavior.
"I'm not leaving you, doll. I'm right here." Bucky spoke as he slipped into bed with her. Desi sighed in relief, snuggling into his chest when Desi ran her hands through his hair.
"I love your long hair; did I ever tell you that?" Desi confessed.
"You may have told me a couple of times, yeah." Bucky said, smiling.
"Good," Desi said with a smile before resting her hand on his cheek, "is everything okay? From earlier?"
Bucky took a hard swallow, his jaw clenching as he looked down, feeling regretful for his behavior in front of her, but he wasn't sorry he did it.
"Steve wants to try dating you as well," Bucky spoke, "but I wanted to see how you felt about it?"
"How I felt about it?" Desi repeated.
"Do you like Steve?" Bucky asked, looking into her eyes.
Desi blinked, unsure what to say,
"We have all seen the way he looks at you, and you seem to share a bond with each other. I…I don't know…"
"I admit that there is an attraction there, and a bond, but I'd never accept anyone without your approval, Buck." Desi told him.
Bucky relayed the memories in his head, his conversation with Steve, his conversation with Thor, and the look on Steve's face when Desi was thrown through the wall. Bucky was livid, ready to kill any man that touched her, but the way Steve cared for her was almost too much for him.
Desi unintentionally saw each memory, and her heart hurt for him.
"James, look at me…"
Bucky looked up at her slowly, noticing the worry in his eyes.
"Can I show you how I feel for you? Just you." Desi asked of him, hoping he'd understand her. Bucky looked at her in confusion, but nodded, allowing her to do so. Desi smiled, cupping his face as her hands glowed, closing her eyes.
Bucky took a deep breath as Desi's feelings all of it: appreciation, acceptance, concern, devotion, worry with love, but above all, care. He slowly opened his eyes, his blue piercing her brown eyes as she smiled at him with tears.
"I love you, James." Desi confessed.
He blinked in disbelief, rolling her over onto her back as he searched her eyes once more.
"Say that again." Bucky demanded, swishing he didn't mishear her.
"I love you, Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes." Desi spoke louder, her smile never wavering.
Bucky smirked, cupping her face once more before he gave her a chaste kiss. Desi giggled, feeling his excitement before he pulled away.
"I love you, doll." Bucky said, his smirk never dying.
"Buck," Desi spoke, "no matter what I feel for Steve, or Thor, or even Loki; I loved you first, okay?"
"Twenty-two is pretty young to declare love, isn't it?" Bucky teased.
"I'm twenty-three! My birthday is a letter in a couple of months and I'll be twenty-four." Desi quickly shut her mouth when Bucky suddenly looked confused.
"Wait, what?" Buck questioned her.
"Yeah, umm, my birthday is April 5th? That was roughly the time we met." Desi said, smiling at him.
"Doll, why didn't you say anything?" He asked.
"We all weren't exactly friends, and we were saving the world; that has to outweigh my birthday," Desi spoke, but could still see Bucky's disappointment, "but let's not worry about that. Let's enjoy our time together, alone, just you and me, please? Or else I'm going to go search out for cuddles from someone else."
Bucky rolled his eyes and cuddled Desi close against him, resting his head against her shoulder.
"Despite the super soldier, you handled yourself well. We need to talk to Tony about preparing you for another situation in the future, and have you on assignments more." Bucky informed her.
"Does this mean we can finally be partners on the field?" Desi asked.
"That's correct, Miss Destiny."
"Okay, Sergeant."
Bucky bit his lower lip as he rolled her over again, making her giggle in anticipation.
"Don't start with me or you won't make it in the morning." Bucky warned her, but it only sent a shiver down to her now-aching womanhood.
"Is that a promise, Sergeant? Or do you want to punish me, papi?" Desi whispered in his ear before she licked his earlobe.
Bucky pinned Desi's hands over her head, but Desi smiled with a heated gaze.
"You were warned." Bucky told her before he kept his promise throughout the night.
The morning had come by the time Bucky freed her, Desi joining the team for cereal, enjoying her moment of silence when Peter ran in, elated to see Desi awake.
"Hello, Des!" Peter shouted as he approached her, a cereal bowl already in his hand as he plopped next to her on the sofa. Chewy came running to sit beside her on the couch, playing with his chew today, making Desi smile.
"Morning Peter! You're more energetic than usual, what's up?" Desi asked.
"Tony said I can train with you and Mr. Barnes this morning, I hope it's okay?" Peter asked.
"Are you sure you want Bucky and me? You wouldn't want Nat the Black Widow? Or Clint, the Hawkeye? Or even Thor, the God of Thunder?" Desi questioned.
"Yeah, of course. I really look up to you, you know. Not as much as Mr. Stark, but you're his daughter, and you're just as amazing. Is it okay?" Peter asked, his eyes flashing those pleading puppy eyes again.
Nat smirked, the kid knew what he was doing, and poor Desi was a sucker.
"Okay, okay, that's fine with me. If Bucky agrees to it, too." Desi said with a smile. Peter let out a large yes as Bucky walked in, looking at two of them suspiciously. Desi saw Bucky's jaw clench; she already knew what was going to be the answer.
"Mr. Barnes- "
"No, kid." Barnes answered almost too quickly, making Peter look defeated.
"I can join instead if you'd like, kid." Steve's voice rang out.
Desi closed her eyes and scrunched her face as she fought back a laugh, hearing Steve make the hurt had to hurt Bucky's ego.
"Captain America! Y-Yeah, of course! It'd be an honor, are you sure? Wow, this is amazing, really?" Peter asked, just as ecstatic.
"Of course, I'd be happy to help train both you and Destiny." Steve said before he leaned down to Desi.
Desi looked up at him, a smile on her face as she scooped cereal into her mouth.
"Morning, sweetheart. Can we talk when you're done eating?" Steve asked her.
Desi nodded in silence, making Steve smirk before he placed a kiss on top of her head.
Desi blushed hysterically as Thor and Loki walked in, noticing Desi on the sofa.
"Morning, darling."
"Morning, my star."
The duos chimed as each brother kissed a cheek. Desi's blush continued to burn her cheeks, closing her eyes as she tried to process what just happened.
"Should we be expecting this every morning?" Clint complained.
"Of course, you should wait to see what the nights will be like." Thor spoke out loud, making Desi finish her bowl quickly.
"Okay, well, I'm going to take Chewy outside for a walk before training. Peter, I'll see you in about half an hour?" Desi spoke as she stood up.
"Yeah, of course! Thanks, Des!" Peter exclaimed as she walked towards the elevator, holding Chewy in her arms. Just as she entered, Steve entered after her, making her smile apologetically when she saw Bucky watching them closely.
"Now then, perhaps we should make a schedule?" Thor suggested as he ate a pop tart.
"A schedule? For what?" Loki asked, eating a granola bar from the counter.
"To figure out who and when we have time with Desi. We both can agree that Barnes here has been hogging her all to himself." Thor pointed out.
"She just prefers me." Bucky stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You do raise a good point, Thor. What do you have in mind?" Loki suggested as Thor looked for paper.
"Can we not ignore the fact that you're talking about a family member here?" Tony reminded them as Pepper handed him a cup of coffee.
"Also, you should really talk to her before you make the schedule; you'll only make her mad." Pepper suggested.
"Women hate that, trust me. No one has seen her mad, and I don't think anyone should be on that receiving end." Clint suggested.
"Of course, you're absolutely right." Loki said nonchalantly as Thor finally found a piece of paper, Loki casting a pen for him to write.
"I can't wait to see this unfold…" Nat spoke with a smirk, knowing full well that they were all going to be in the doghouse.
Desi giggled as Chewy ran through the open grass, chasing the birds while he barked at them relentlessly.
"How are you feeling this morning?" Steve asked Desi, glad to see her up and walking already.
"Good, thanks. Being a healer really helps, you know? How about you?" Desi asked.
"Just minor aches, I'll be fine." Steve assured her, but Desi ignored him as she placed a hand on his forearm. She sponged it all away for him but Steve took her small hand into his, making her blush.
"About yesterday…" Steve spoke, "I'm sorry I sprung that on you, but it was hard to hold back after what I saw you get hurt on my watch."
"No, no, it's fine. Are…you and Bucky, okay?" Desi asked.
"We fought it out, but we agreed to try; I hope you'll agree." Steve told her. Steve saw Desi's hesitation, and he continued.
"I know we didn't start off on the wrong foot, but we understand where we both come from; agreements and disagreements." Steve told her.
"When did it start? You're feelings for me." Desi couldn't help but ask.
"When I came to visit you the first time." Steve answered simply, watching Desi nod, but she lowered her head.
Steve wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into a sensual kiss, giving her a moment to adjust to him. Desi closed her eyes, reacting to the kiss before Steve slowly pulled away, keeping her body pressed against his.
"I promise we'll make this work, okay sweetheart?" Steve assured her and Desi nodded.
"Okay, handsome." Desi smiled, wrapping her arms around Steve's neck before she pulled him into another kiss.
Training went as well as expected, with Peter trying out the new suit Tony made him as Desi tried a new proto-type emergency suit for her. Pepper enjoyed her time with them, entertaining herself with Chewy as she gossiped with Nat until the end of training.
It was Desi's turn to make dinner for the weekend, but when Desi entered the living room floor to head to her room, she was alarmed when she saw her Thor, Loki, and Bucky at the table, Steve walking in beside her.
"What in the world are you three up to?" Desi asked as she approached.
"Ah, Lady Destiny! Perfect timing! Come, we've made a schedule that we think you'll enjoy!" Thor exclaimed in excitement. Bruce and Clint looked at each other in amusement, Nat and Pepper already in disapproval as Peter looked over to Tony cautiously.
"Um, what kind of schedule, exactly?" Desi hesitated to ask when Thor slapped the poster on the wall for her to see.
Desi was mortified when she saw cut-out men in color coding, with the calendar drawn out, with the title 'Desi Days'.
"What. The. Actual. Fuck." Desi muttered.
"Well, we know it might be overwhelming to make time for us, especially with missions and all that. So we thought, why not appoint days for us to be with you?" Thor offered.
Desi looked at Steve with anger in her eyes, and he held his hands up in surrender.
"I was with you; I wasn't part of this." Steve defended himself.
"So," Desi spoke, clearly enraged, "I'm just being moved around like a prostitute?"
"No, what? Not at all! You can change whatever you like." Loki insisted, seeing her anger come to the surface.
"Oh, I have OPTIONS! THANK YOU FOR THAT!" Desi yelled, "It would've been nice if I was included, but MY MISTAKE!"
"We thought you'd appreciate this." Bucky tried to defend, Steve placing a hand on Desi's shoulder to help calm her down.
"I'm going to burn it, to show my appreciation." Desi spoke as she charged towards it, but Steve quickly lifted her over his shoulder, making her yelp.
"Steve put me down! I just want to talk to them! I just…I just want to rip that thing apart!" Desi exclaimed, ignoring the fact the team was hiding their chuckles.
"Come on sweetheart, let's go back to the bedroom and calm you down." Steve teased.
"No, no, I'm calm! I'm calm!" Desi rang out, noticing Thor following with the poster in hand, Loki and Bucky following them.
The moment the door was closed to her bedroom, the team couldn't help but chuckle, amused as they took in the scene.
"That was a first, did you see that anger?" Clint questioned.
"I knew we were going to see that side eventually," Nat spoke, "it's still a little adorable, considering."
Steve put her on her feet but kept his arms tight around her as Thor placed the poster back on the wall, and Desi took deep breaths.
"Listen, it's sweet that you all thought of this, really. I agree, there might be some negligence on my end but a POSTER?" Desi challenged.
"It was more for Bucky, darling. You must admit…he's territorial. We all are… but in his case…" Loki led on.
"That's not my problem." Bucky said, making Desi smirk at his confidence.
"Yes, well. We thought it is best to do this in one of two ways. We either each have a day with you or two of us a day. What's your pleasure, darling?" Loki asked of her.
"Umm…? What?" Desi questioned.
"For example, Steve and Bucky can be here with you as Loki and I attend to Asgard business or an assignment. When we get back, they go an assignment and so on and so forth." Thor explained.
"But what if I go on assignment? Tony was adamant I get more experience." Desi pointed out.
"Not to worry, we adapt and whoever is here gets that time with you." Thor suggested.
"We really shouldn't be trying to schedule this; anything can happen out there at a moment's notice." Desi reminded them.
"Desi's right, we shouldn't be attempting to project anything in this." Steve agreed.
"So, what? We just enjoy her whenever we can?" Loki questioned.
"I'm okay with whatever she chooses…Desi?" Steve asked.
Desi sighed but nodded, "Okay, fine. We'll try the damn schedule. If it gets too hard to keep up, then we scrap it okay? You…guys work it out while I shower, okay? I smell from training."
The men watched her leave the room before looking at each other.
"I mean, Bucky had her this morning, it's only fair the Gods have her today, yes?" Loki said with a mischievous smirk.
"But I haven't, so you'll just have her for another day." Steve spoke up.
"Well, Captain, it's a new side to you I didn't expect," Loki teased, "but very well, I suppose I can wait for tomorrow."
Desi heard the door to her room close and she sighed in relief as she took her quick shower. Desi had made quick work to wrap a towel around her body before she exited, making her way into her closet as she scrambled to find some clothing. Desi quickly grabbed some clothing when Desi felt a body press against her back. Desi took a hard swallow when she looked up from her mirror to see Steve shirtless staring down at her, his hand on her covered stomach.
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Steve asked Desi in a soft voice, sending shivers down her body. She shook her head, her eyes never leaving his as his warm hand slid into her towel. Desi bit her lower lip, feeling herself growing moist from anticipation.
"Quite the opposite, actually." Desi spoke, gasping as he pulled her towel off, turning her around with her back pressed against the glass, her hands pinned over her head. Desi licked her lips when Steve began to unbutton his pants, his erect cock freed before he rubbed himself against her pussy lips.
"Steve…" Desi moaned before Steve assaulted her mouth, dominating her as he carried her over to her bed. Desi trailed her hands over Steve's body and pulled off his pants, taking her body on full display for him as he laid her down.
"You're magnificent, Desi." Steve whispered, making Desi smile.
"And you're just glorious, Steve." Desi whispered before she pulled Steve into a kiss.
Steve rubbed his index finger against her opening, feeling her wet and ready for him but he flicked her clit, making her moan against his mouth before he inserted his finger into her. Desi clung onto him, feeling him pump into her a few times before he inserted a second finger, his thumb quickly abusing her pearl once more before he pulled. Desi whimpered from Steve's loss only to moan in completion when he slowly slid his cock into her moist cavern.
"Hold on to me, sweetheart." Steve said before he sat up, pulling her up into his lap as he roughly grabbed her ass.
The moment Desi wrapped her arms around Steve's neck, she screamed out in unexpected pleasure as he set a brutal pace, his thrusts nearly inhumane for her to keep up. Desi succumbed to the pleasure, screaming his name as she came but Steve showed no signs of stopping.
"Do you want Buck, also?" Steve whispered in her ear.
Desi was lost in the pleasure, but Steve slowed down, making her whimper once more from the loss of him.
"Call him with your emotions, sweetheart. Or else I won't continue." Steve whispered. Desi whimpered, merely obeying Steve when she threw her head back, thoughts of Bucky invading her. Desi envisioned Bucky's hands all over her, his mouth on her body, the way she made her toes curl.
"Buck…" Desi whispered and Steve smirked, finishing his brutal pace on her as he came close to completion, Desi rested her forehead against his as she her body quivered, cumming a second time as Steve released in her.
Bucky barged into the room, panting as he literally felt her orgasm in the hallway and was surprised to feel such an experience.
Bucky saw Desi panting heavily in Steve's arms but she smiled when saw Bucky, offering her hand to him.
Bucky's eyes turned heated, taking off his shirt and disposed of his pants before he lifted her out of Steve's arms.
"I'm ready to burst because of you, you vixen. Are you going to take responsibility?" Bucky asked her in a rough voice.
"I'm ready, papi." Desi whispered, moaning in pleasure when Bucky plunged his erect cock into her pussy, groaning into her shoulder.
Steve stood, panting still but looked to Bucky who nodded his head for Steve to join in.
Steve approached Desi from behind, feeling Desi tense for a moment before she wrapped one arm around Bucky, her free hand cupping the back of Steve's neck. Steve took a deep breath before he pressed the tip of his cock into her back entrance, feeling Desi tense and hiss from the invasion.
"It'll be okay, love." Steve whispered, fondling her breast before he twisted her nipple, distracting her as he slid into her ass. Bucky heard her whimper and thrust softly into her, sucking, and nibbling on her other nipple. Desi thrashed under their assaults until she felt both still on their hips; Steve was in.
"Brace yourself, doll." Bucky whispered before the super soldiers thrust into her erratically. Steve held one leg up, Bucky holding the other as they assaulted her neck, Desi screaming in pleasure their names. She had never experienced such a pleasure before but good lord, she didn't know if she wanted to.
Desi felt herself cum around them multiple times, neither one relenting until Bucky began to groan, Steve following suit.
"I'm cumming." Bucky whispered, driving Desi crazy.
"Give it to me, please, daddies. Give me your loads, please, please, please." Desi whimpered before she felt a wave hit her, both super soldiers groaning into her neck as they came inside her. The men laid down with her, Desi passing out from the pleasure she endured, making the men chuckle.
"How did she manage to…"
"Thor said to experiment…nice to know it works." Steve confessed.
"Appreciate it." Bucky whispered before playing with Desi's hair.
"Anytime."
The schedule was working well for them until a month later when reports of Hydra attacks increased and suddenly, everyone was on deck.
Desi and Bucky were sent out to scope out meeting locations for the supplies, trying to find where everything was going. Bucky was focused on the mission but he worried about being recognized as the winder soldier, his long hair and metallic arm being his standouts. Desi hated to admit it, but after a month of being on assignment together, she suggested he cut his hair. In their downtime, Desi struggled to learn with a new ability she had been trying.
Desi realized that she could pull out bullets, debris, and really anything inside a person's body when healing them using her emotions- maybe she selectively does telekinesis for emergencies? Not having any weapons didn't benefit her the last time she was against a super soldier, but Desi wanted to have her options more open.
He was gone for a good portion of the day as she scoped out the city, looking into reports of shipment locations and checking as much as she could when Bucky came back to the apartment. Desi swallowed hard when he came in with his new hairstyle, and he was hesitant.
"What is it?" Bucky asked.
"N-Nothing, just…looking good sergeant." Desi said with a smile.
"You hate it." He spoke but Desi rolled her eyes.
"Worse," Desi said softly, wrapping her arms around his neck, "you're too attractive. I almost don't want to take my hands off you."
"I'm not opposed to that..." Bucky said before he hurled her over his shoulder, making her giggle with anticipation.
"Wait, I need to send the report!" Desi squealed.
"We can do both, at the same time." Bucky whispered as he nibbled on her ear, carrying her into the bedroom.
Over the next month, the team stayed busy with reports of Hydra in Sokovia, and Desi being dragged from country to country as they had to work in teams to race for the information. Thor and Loki discovered Hydra had Loki's scepter and were using it as an experiment on people and on for future projects; this was a SHEILD assignment that became a top priority. Bruce, of course, was reluctant to join in but was sent regardless. Loki was forced to stay back with Peter and her dog Chewy but was to watch the feed in the event anything snuck on them.
Today, was the day to attack their base.
Desi suited up, getting on the jeep with Nat and Clint as she called for her Mammen axe. Bucky was on Desi's motorcycle alongside Captain America, her bike equipped with its own turret as Steve had a standard bike. Tony made it for her a long time ago, but yeah had the chance to use it. Her mission was simple, lay low, heal when needed and distract if needed. For Buck? Destroy everything.
The team fought through, Bucky backing up Captain's six each step of the way as Desi helped destroy vehicles on her and Clint's rear, trying to clear the way.
A made-up barrier came in their way and the team jumped over it, Desi flying as she threw her axe at an incoming vehicle, helping the assault.
"Language!"
Desi rolled her eyes at Steve's call out.
Desi grunted as she was tackled, throwing a shield at the assailant as she held onto her own.
"Fuck off!" Desi yelled as she threw her axe once more, shield bashing another assailant as she saw Steve's motorcycle wipe them out.
"Just slipped out." Steve chimed, and she smiled.
"My hero." She winked before she heard explosions in the distance.
"Civilian casualties." Jarvis's voice came through the comms.
"I can head to them- "
"Don't even think about it Angel, they will hurt you," Tony told her, and she nodded; she knew he was right, "Send in the Iron Legion."
Desi heard Clint grunt through the comms and made her way to his location when she saw him fall when she saw a silver-haired man walking past him.
"You didn't see that coming?" the man teased, making Desi's blood boil before she threw her shield at him. He made an 'oof' sound before he hit the tree behind him, causing him to look at her in rage.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you see that, buttercup?" Desi teased back before he charged passed her, knocking on her back.
"Desi!"
"Take down the bunker!" Desi yelled as she scrambled up.
Clint was too busy looking for the man before when he was shot in his side, making him fall back once more.
"Clint!" Nat yelled in a panic.
"There's an enhanced in the field!" Steve's voice rang out as Desi crawled over to Clint, casting a dome over them.
"Clint's been hit!" Nat yelled.
"I'm with him, but the bunker is still up!" Desi yelled.
"Can someone please handle that bunker?" Nat yelled as she entered the dome with them.
"He has a missing piece gone, I'll need just a moment more to heal him." Desi told Nat as her eyes glowed, working as fast as she could.
Hulk came charging through, destroying it with no problem as Nat chimed a grateful 'thank you'.
"Clint needs more time for Desi to heal, we need an evac." Nat called through the comms.
"On my way, I'll take point." Bucky spoke, Desi already hearing the bike heading over in their direction.
After the assault, everyone was back on the Quinjet with Desi glowing brightly as she slowly healed Clint; she had much to heal, and Bucky never left her side as Steve walked over to Thor. Thor was focused on taking the sceptor home with Loki, hoping to end Loki's probation but they couldn't know for sure until they got home.
Once Desi was done with Clint, Tony ordered the team back to Stark Towers, which was surprising for Desi but the team didn't seem bothered by it. She let it go for now as Tony discussed of a farewell party when he clasped a hand on her shoulder.
"I believe it's also going to be your birthday, isn't that, right?" tony questioned.
"How did you know?" Desi asked.
"You're my daughter, I must know these things. You're going to be 23, right?" Tony answered.
"24, actually." Desi corrected him.
"Your birthday was during the attack on New York…" Nat stated, putting it all together.
"Yeah, but that's okay." Desi assured them.
"Nonsense, it'll be a farewell AND a birthday party at the same time. Can I invite your nice brother and father?" Tony asked, and she smiled.
"Thank you, Uncle T." Desi said with appreciation.
"Dr. Choi is going to be there on arrival, she wants to observe Clint's body for a moment; hope that's alright?" Tony advised her as he made his way back to the cockpit.
"As long as she doesn't touch me." Desi said with a cold tone.
"You two still have beef? I'm surprised." Bruce said, smirking when he saw Desi's clear irritation.
"You don't get along?" Steve asked Desi.
"Never have. She said I wasn't a healer, and I shouldn't be pushing myself as a doctor; yet the moment I healed my first agent, she's been trying to get a blood sample out of me for her research. I'll head home when we land…" Desi said as she armored herself, pulling her mask over her mouth.
"Pepper can take you home, not to worry. Barnes, you staying?" Tony asked.
Bucky looked over to Desi and she smiled, "Go ahead." Desi assured him.
"Call me if you need me." Bucky advised her as they landed at Stark Towers.
They were escorted off the ship, and Dr. Choi immediately locked eyes with Desi.
"Destiny." Dr Choi muttered.
"Choi." Desi said with a smile.
"It's Doctor Choi." Choi corrected her.
"The only doctor I know is Doctor Banner…good day." Desi told her, walking past her.
"My girl." Bucky said with a smirk, loving that fire she showed sometimes.
"Alright, that's enough," Steve warned him, "let's hurry if you wanted to make it in time to get her a gift."
The next three days, the Avengers stayed at Stark Towers and Desi couldn't bring herself to join them. Desi was waking up sick every morning, constantly throwing up, and was worried she had food poisoning from her adventure. Loki helped her the best he could, but he was unfamiliar with Midgardian illnesses and called Pepper for assistance.
Desi dressed in a midnight blue silk dress with her back exposed all the way to her lower back, the front of her dress v cut all the way down to her belly button when her sickness came back, wearing her secret white canvas shoes to help stay comfortable in case she had to run to a bathroom again. Pepper came running into the building into Desi's bedroom where she saw Desi throwing up once more, Loki rubbing Desi's back as he pinned her hair up.
"How long has this been going on?" Pepper asked as she pulled out her phone.
"Three days, it's like clockwork, I'm afraid." Loki answered her.
"Desi, have you eaten anything you are allergic too?" Pepper asked, receiving a shaking head from Desi.
"Have you eaten anything?" Pepper asked.
"No, I throw up everything I eat." Desi answered as she sat back against Loki.
"Desi…honey. Do you think maybe you're pregnant?" Pepper asked her.
Desi's eyes widened, shaking her head.
"I've been taking my birth control, and we use protection." Desi assures her.
"Okay, well, when was the last time you had sex?" Pepper asked.
"A month ago, with Bucky." Desi answered.
Bucky was coming to pick her up any minute for the party and had to play it cool for him. Loki handed her the toothbrush she frequently used, cleaning herself up as Loki lifted her onto her feet.
Pepper sighed, "Let's get you to the med bay, okay? Loki, help her please."
Loki carried her down to the med-bay, carefully placing her down as Pepper brought up Jarvis.
"Jarvis, can you do a scan on Desi please, for pregnancy or any illnesses?" Pepper asked of him.
"One moment please while I scan her." Jarvis spoke, allowing Pepper and Loki to step back as Desi waited for the results.
"Based on her past urinal, her body scan, and her recent blood work from a few days ago, it does seem that Miss Destiny is four weeks pregnant. Congratulations."
Desi panicked, hovering her hand over her stomach as she looked at Pepper and Loki in distress.
"Did he, did he say pregnant?" Desi questioned.
"Wait, you're pregnant!?" The trio looked to see Peter standing there in astonishment.
"Peter, no, you heard nothing!" Desi exclaimed as she stood up. Loki ran up to Peter and covered his mouth, pulling him close as they approached Desi.
"Listen, you heard nothing, therefore you'll say nothing, am I clear?" Loki questioned and Peter nodded frantically before he released him.
"Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! Are you excited because I'm excited! Oh man, have you told Mr. Barnes yet?" Peter asked non-stop.
"Told me what?" Barnes's voice came out from behind. Bucky came in dressed in black slacks with a black buttoned-up shirt with a black dress jacket, making Loki whistle in appreciation of his ensemble.
Desi nearly wanted to pass out at hearing Bucky's voice, wanting to hide as Pepper caught her, poor girl couldn't get a moment to process this.
"About the party tonight for her birthday! Are you excited?" Pepper asked.
"Yeah, I'm here to pick up my date. Are you ready?" Bucky asked her, noticing she was looking quite pale.
She smiled and nodded, looking at Pepper with appreciation before she hooked her arms with Barnes.
"Take care of Chewy for me, thanks again Peter." Desi shouted as the duo left the compound, Pepper joining them in the car ride to the party.
The party was bustling, and Desi managed to meet Sam and other SHIELD agents once more. Her brother and father didn't attend but that didn't stop Desi from having a good time. Bucky had pulled her out into the balcony, his hand never leaving her waist as he pulled her outside.
"Too loud for you?" Desi asked, knowing Bucky wasn't one to be in big crowds.
"Something like that…I just wanted to talk to you about something." Bucky admitted, looking at her he dug his hands into his pockets.
"Of course, anything." Desi told Bucky, wanting him to open up to her.
"I love you," Barnes told her, making her smile, "but I know I'm not easy to get along with. I love how you drive me crazy, how you empower me, you…I just…I didn't think I was worth anything-I just…here."
Desi watched as Bucky pulled out a box, handing it to her. Desi looked at him curiously before she opened the box and saw a beautiful black band ring with a teardrop design on each side of the stone in the middle.
"Oh, it's beautiful, Bucky." Desi said with a smile, kissing him on the chin but hearing angry awe chants behind her.
"What was that?!" Steve yelled.
"Boo, do it right!" Tony yelled.
"It's a proposal, get on one knee!" Clint yelled.
Desi looked confused for a moment before Bucky took the box from her, catching her attention as Bucky got down on one knee, reopening the box to her.
"Will you marry me, doll?" Bucky asked with a smirk and Desi smiled ridiculously, nodding feverishly as tears came to her eyes.
"Yes, and that was much better." Desi teased as Bucky took off his first ring, sliding his ring into place before he spun her in a circle.
"Finally, my god!" Tony shouted, happy for Desi.
The party started to wind down, and Desi played it cool with lemon-lime soda the rest of the night, trying to figure out how she was going to tell to Bucky when the Avengers started taking turns trying to lift Thor's hammer.
Desi sided with Natasha in not lifting it, receiving a wink from Thor in appreciation as she finished her drink when a loud shriek went through the alarm, alerting everyone as one of Tony's drones came into the room. Everything happened so fast, Bucky pushing Desi and Dr. Choi behind the piano as they fought against the drones when one snuck on them. Desi threw a shield at the drone before it could get close to them, creating a small dome over them until it was clear.
Everyone was enraged with Tony when they made their way to the lab, learning the truth about Ultron and losing Jarvis along the way. Desi felt for Tony but what was shocking to her was that Tony pulled her aside.
"Kid, I need you to go home, okay? Handle the fort for me, can you do that?" Tony asked of her.
"What? Tony, you guys need me out there! You have some guy who can run really fast, and some woman who can mess with you mentally. I need to be there to help!" Desi pointed out.
"Pepper has already sent Loki home, Peter has Chewy at his home," Steve explained as he approached, "but I'm going to have to agree this time. It'll be a moot point if she gets you."
"But she won't, Steve, Tony; please." Desi asked of them. Steve and Tony looked at each other but both shook their head at her, making her more upset.
"Unbelievable, we're supposed to be a team."
"And we are but Destiny, we need you after all this, I promise." Tony assured her, but Clint cut in.
"Desi, can I talk with you for a moment please?" Clint asked of her, taking her hand into his. Desi was hit was worry, concern, and paranoia, and she nodded reluctantly. Clint pulled her aside and took a deep breath.
"I'm…. worried about my girlfriend. I know it's a lot to ask but…I'm asking one friend to another; can you watch over her for me…please?" Clint asked, "these guys will be more than fine but…I don't know if she will. What if Ultron finds her…"
"Okay, I'll go. I promise I'll be happy to." Desi said, understanding his fear painfully well.
"Thank you, please hurry." Clint said, pushing her outside. Desi ran outside, calling on Astros when Bucky took her hand.
"Be careful out there for me, okay?" Bucky asked of her, pulling her tightly against his chest.
"I will, love," Desi said, pulling him into a hug, "and when this is over, you and I need to have a talk, okay?"
Bucky nodded, giving her a chaste kiss before he reluctantly released her as Astros came down to them.
"Wait," Desi sighed when Thor approached her.
"Be safe, don't take any risks." Thor told her, and she nodded.
"I will, you do the same, okay?" Desi agreed before she pulled him into a sensual kiss before he lifted her onto Astros.
"Tell Steve I'm not mad, will you? And make sure he doesn't stress himself." Desi told them.
"We will, Destiny. Now go!" Thor yelled, slapping Astros into gear, and Desi flew to Laura's farm.
Desi was surprised to see the Avengers back at the farm, and surprised to meet Laura and Clint's children but Desi knew there was more happening. Everyone was in their own heads, and Desi attempted to sponge their worries, healing Natasha along the way but nothing was the same.
They stayed for the night before they took off to South Korea, Desi coming along for the adventure but she clearly took more than she could handle. Desi and Buck stayed on the ship with Clint, helping hold back fire as the team combed through the city as best they could until Nat was in the air, inside the truck that held Ultron's body and Clint was panicking.
"What do we do? What if it's off?" Clint asked.
"I can help balance it, just give me a moment!" Desi exclaimed as she climbed through the back.
"Wait, what?" Clint questioned.
"Are you insane?" Bucky yelled, questioning what his fiancé was exactly thinking.
"It's just like removing glass from the body." Desi told herself, wanting to keep Nat's say above all else. Desi held on to the hangar rope, focusing her powers on Nat coming in. Nat grabbed Desi's hand as she came in when they were both pulled by a drone, alarming Clint and Bucky.
"Nat, Desi!" Clint and Bucky yelled; they were on their own.
The team was in disarray, with chaos between each other and losing Nat and Desi.
Vision had come to life and the team reluctantly allowed Pietro and Wanda to join them but Clint was glad to pinpoint exactly where they needed to go to.
Sokovia.
"Nat, are you okay?" Desi asked her, casting a healing spell over her.
"Are you? You look pale." Nat questioned, never seeing Desi this sick before.
"I'm fine, I just need to eat something soon. I'm nearly out of energy." Desi warned her, waiting for the Avengers after Nat had sent the coordinates.
"Do you think you can open this?" Nat asked and Desi nodded.
"I can, I just…" Desi coughed before she turned over, barfing in her mouth a little reluctantly.
"Desi.- "
"I'm pregnant," Desi admitted, looking to Nat with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"Wait, really?" Nat asked, smiling for a moment in happiness for her.
"Bucky's the father." Desi answered, smiling sadly as more tears fell down her face.
"Let's wait until they get here, okay? Save your strength." Nat told her.
"Okay, but just give me the word, and we go. Who knows what Ultron will do next." Desi explained.
Morning came when Desi and Nat heard someone outside, standing up ready to fight when Bruce came in.
"Banner?" Desi called out, smiling ecstatically as he shot the door open for them, escaping the prison as Bruce approached them once more.
"Here are some adrenaline shots for you both, I hope it's enough." Bruce said, administrating a shot to Desi, remembering how she coped with needles. Nat took her shot before she gave the extra one to Desi, nodding to her.
"So, what's our play?" Nat asked.
"I'm here to get you both to safety." Bruce answered, and Desi took a step back, sensing the tender moment between them.
"Jobs not finished." Nat spoke.
"We could help with evacuation, but you've done plenty," Bruce told Nat, taking her hands into his, "our fight is over."
"So, we just disappear?"
Nat looked at Desi, and Desi smiled.
"Go ahead, I'll tell Clint for you."
Desi fought her way through until she was left with no choice: she called Astros.
Desi double-tapped her bracelets, reactivating her suit before she mounted Astros.
"Desi is back online." Friday's voice rang out.
Everyone was relieved to hear that, looking to the sky to see her on her Pegasus.
"Who is that?" Pietro called out.
"My doll." Bucky said, seeing the rage on her face as she threw her axe at the passing drones, avoiding shots as the battle ensued in the air with her.
"Need some help down here! I have no high ground!" Clint called out.
"Astros, go help Clint!" Desi called out before she jumped off, Astros listening to his master as she flew down to the ground to Bucky.
Bucky and she finally made their way to the center, fighting their way side by side when Ultron appeared in front of them.
Desi cast a quick healing spell over everyone, and Ultron started to attack as they protected the core, but Desi felt being called elsewhere.
As Vision, Tony, and Thor blasted Ultron, Desi called for Astros before taking off to the boats.
The people needed a chance to survive.
Desi groaned as she gave herself another shot of adrenaline, thankful for Astros as her body glowed once more, casting a protective dome over the remaining boats. Her eyes and hair glowed as she saw a large ship carrier headed their way.
"Hostile incoming!" Desi yelled through the comms, hearing Ultron's voice call out through the ship.
"How tragically poetic. A future mother, risking her life for others so they may live…knowing the child inside her will die with her. You were set on the wrong path, just like all the others." Ultron spoke.
"Future…Desi's pregnant?" Tony called out.
The ship began to fire and Desi flew forward, creating a shield over the people as she followed the fire, when she saw Clint and Pietro side by side.
"No!" Desi screamed, casting another dome over them just as the shots hit. Clint and Pietro sighed in relief, heading to the ship as Desi struggled to keep up the dome.
"Thank you, Desi." Wanda's voice rang.
"It's Destiny…and you're welcome," Desi answered,
"Shit! Astros, go now!" Desi yelled as drones chased after her, grateful for Rhodey as he helped fend them off her, but she was growing fatigued with no more adrenaline shots available.
"Sweetheart, you might want to get down, get to Buck so he can protect you." Steve told her.
"Take me to Bucky, okay?" Desi ushered Astros, being lowered down to the boats just before the floating land shook, dropping suddenly as Steve jumped onboard.
Bucky wasted no time pulling her off the Pegasus, sending him off as Desi coughed violently, clinging onto Bucky as he sat with her on his lap.
"When were you going to tell me?" Bucky asked, his jaw clenched in irritation, resting his metallic hand cautiously over her stomach. The thought of her fighting during her pregnancy, to know she saw held prisoner by Ultron…
"I was going to tell you the night of our engagement…I'm sorry," Desi apologized, her stomach turning, "I don't suppose you have any food?"
"Here, dear," Bucky looked up as a civilian offered a banana, "we have more if you need more. Thank you for healing us."
Bucky nodded in gratitude to the civilian before he unpeeled for Desi, hearing her moan as she finally took a bite.
"Take it easy, okay?" Bucky warned her but she smiles, snuggling into his chest before she finally passed out.
Everything had calmed and everyone decided a break was in order.
Thor promised to visit her and to call on her when he needed her, but he had to worry about the stones, the tesseract, and freeing his brother now that Loki had atoned for his errors.
Clint went home to be with his family, Bruce was gone now, and Nat was coping the best she knew; preparing to throw herself in the new Avenger's Initiative.
Desi felt a little at a loss, Tony announcing he was going take a break and spend some alone time with Pepper.
Tony wrapped his arm around Desi, enjoying her company as he escorted her towards the truck he got for her, despite her protests.
"Congratulations again, Angel. How are you feeling about the little one?" Tony asked her.
"Uh, I'm not sure, to be honest. Bucky and I haven't talked about it yet. It's a group decision, you know?" Desi told him, not sure where exactly Bucky stood with everything.
"Well, don't look now but it looks like he's panicking a little." Tony whispered as Bucky approached, taking the bag from Desi's hand.
"I've got the bag, don't do anything. Are you hungry? Are you tired?" Are you…" Bucky was at a loss.
"Told you." Tony teased her, making Desi giggle as she kissed Bucky's chin.
"I'm okay, beloved, really." Desi assured him.
"Where are you two headed, anyways?" Tony asked them.
"Probably look for a place to stay for a couple of days, hopefully, find a place to call our own. The baby can't be at the compound, you know?" Desi answered.
"I'll find her a good place, away from the chaos. I'll protect her and the little pup." Bucky told her.
"Good, well, I was going to wait until the baby's birth but here, I wanted you two to have this." Tony offered, handing Bucky an envelope with an address on it. Bucky looked at Desi cautiously, prepared to open it, but Tony slapped his hand away from it.
"No opening until you go to that address, okay? Happy will be waiting for you there." Tony warned them and Desi hugged him one last time.
"You take care of yourself, okay? I adore you." Desi whispered.
"And I you, kiddo," Tony said, smiling as he hugged her back, releasing her as his car drove up, "keep an eye out on the Capsicle also, alright? He needs to relax soon."
Desi waved off Tony as he drove away, looking back at Steve who had a smile on his face.
"It's going to be lonely without the two of you here." Steve spoke, but Desi rolled her eyes.
"I'm still coming on the weekends, these recruits are part of my responsibility too, you know?" Desi defended herself, "besides, we still have custody of Chewy."
Steve chuckled, pulling her into a kiss, pressing his body into hers as he took in her presence.
"I'm not disappearing, we just need to find us a place away from this; when we are able to." Desi assured him.
"Call me the moment you find a place, will you?" Steve asked of her.
"We promise, no need to worry, Rogers." Bucky assured him.
"Stay safe, and rest when you can." Steve warned her.
"I will but call me once you're done. I want to hear all about it." Desi said, pulling away reluctantly before Bucky escorted her to the car.
Steve was going to give them a few days to enjoy themselves, her pregnancy scare straightened up Bucky quickly. Bucky was more vigilant, yet happy. Steve wanted to give them a moment to enjoy this together before he moved into the picture. Bucky helped Desi into the car before he ran over to the driver's end, waving at Steve before they drove off, following Tony's letter.
For a couple of hours, Desi was beginning to worry they were lost until they found themselves at a nearby lake, with a two-story cabin in front of them with Happy standing outside.
"What in the world…?" Desi questioned as Bucky parked in front of the house. Desi climbed out of the car, and walking up to Happy who had a large goofy smile on her face.
"Happy, what a lovely surprise!" Desi chimed as Bucky stood beside her, the envelope in Bucky's hands.
"Tony wanted me to be here to record every moment…go ahead and open the letter." Happy told them as he smiled at the couple. Bucky tore open the letter when he saw a set of five keys inside the envelope and a single letter. Bucky opened the letter and glanced over it before handing it to Desi, allowing her the honors.
"Hey Angel,
I figured your family was only going to get bigger, and you and your boy toys need a space of your own to call home. Joining the Stark family, I'm happy you're a part of lives and a part of the Avengers. As a thank you, and a gift to welcome you into the family: this house is now yours. Do with it what you will, but I will disown you if you try to sell it," Desi laughed, not surprised, "but know that I'm proud of the woman you are becoming, as your father would have been. I'm only a call away but take time for yourself.
Take Care,
Tony."
Desi looked up at Bucky, crying happily as he wrapped an arm around her securely.
"Congrats, kiddo. I'm so excited for you." Happy exclaimed, pulling her into a hug.
"Thank you, Happy!" Desi squealed.
Bucky flashed a smile before cautiously pushing Happy away, making Desi roll her eyes.
"Hey, no I get it, protect the baby! After the Sokovia incident, Tony doesn't want you pushing yourself more than necessary. Enjoy yourself, okay?" Happy told them.
"Agreed, thanks again." Bucky said with a small smile.
"For sure, take care you too! Oh, and kitchens are stocked for now! I'll be back next week to restock!" Happy told them before he left.
"Shall we, Mrs. Barnes?" Bucky teased, carrying her bridal style, making Desi giggle.
"We shall, Mr. Barnes!"
