Bucky and I finally arrived back after letting loose on some more Skrulls and a few other errands along the way of rescuing more real human beings... The building was starting to look like a shelter than a Comic book Studio, than what it originally was. Tony was making a tally of how many we managed to rescue so far.

"How many people did we find here in Halifax?"

"Twenty five all together men, women and children, well counting the one on the go with one couple." He said as he pointed to a pregnant woman. I saw a sad look on Bucky's face as he went to the elevator to go to our apartment, I went in as I then took my mask off as he saw a few tears on my face.

"Are you alright?"

"Eventually. You?"

"Same."

"So evacuation is our only hope eh?"

"Well, from how it looks we got to save as many people as possible, and stop the Skrulls from using their network of Bio Computers... They're making a weapon to destroy my world."

"And using mine in the process to provide cover..." I spoke, "Captain thanks for stopping me earlier."

"You were more than just angry Melly," He started, "You were bottling everything up, stress, anger, sadness, grief... That's not healthy."

"I know... It's just that there wasn't time."

Bucky stopped the elevator, "From what I gathered you had plenty of time."

I glared at him as I felt a bit angry, "Maybe, but there was a lot of people counting on me I couldn't let them see me weak."

"You're more human than I was when I was the Winter Soldier. Don't become what I was."

"Captain how dare you say that about your past!" I said, "Sure you did all sorts of horrible things too, but didn't they let you have any good memories?"

"Not many, I was punished quite a lot when I just being a rebellious soldier-."

"Natasha right?"

"Yeah. She can't have kids."

"Nathan didn't want kids, he went behind my back to get a procedure done so he wouldn't have any." He looked right at me as I then spoke, "I was so angry at him more than I was with the Skrulls, I almost killed him, he managed to get away and never seen each other since."

Bucky gave me a hug, "Feel better?"

"I guess so..." I spoke, "Cap-."

"My name is James Buchanan Barnes, You can call me either James or Bucky," He spoke as he taking off his mask and smiled at me, "Either or is fine with me."

"... Ah okay Bucky... I was going to say I never told Melissa how I really broke up with Nathan, can you keep it between us please?"

"I suppose I could do that. Now that I know you're emotions are in check." He said turning on the elevator to continue going up. I started to yawn as we entered the apartment as I saw the sofa bed was ready... I looked into my bedroom to see Tony in it...

"Seriously dude? Seriously?" I grumbled as Bucky snickered, "Peachy, just peachy."

"Melly, to be honest before we met I was going to tell you off, but that changed once you're sister and Steve talked some sense into me." He spoke after I got out of the bathroom in my pjs, being a long sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts, "Aren't you hot in that top?"

I looked at my top... them moved the neckline over my left then the right shoulder as he saw the burn scars on them, "I had my arms burned while trying to save people... I just can't stand looking at them."

He paused as he approached me, "So when you fight you don't see the good you've done?"

"All I've seen is more tragedies than Shakespeare has ever written about." I sighed, "I've had nothing but bad luck."

"Until Steve dropped into your world, I'd say you finally got the luck you've been needing all your life. You're Sister and Steve briefed me about Nathan, you loved him didn't you?"

"I really don't know what we had, he was the spy and I was the soldier... Everything was spiraling outta of control."

"From what I gather you were happy with him at first, but he hurt you... both versions of him did. When was the last time you were really happy?"

"Dad's birthday before they died," I spoke as I looked at my feet. Bucky approached me as he grabbed a towel as he draped it over the security camera. He then hugged me as I finally found myself letting everything out as I cried on his shoulder. "Thanks I needed that," I said as I spotted another towel to dry my tears.

"How long had you been keeping everything in for?"

"I sighed up at 19, the last day I cried was they're funeral the week after 9/11."

"Was it for revenge?"

"It was at first but then I started thinking that there were people who wanted to live their lives and the threat of war on their doorstep... No-one should go through that fear 24/7."

Bucky smiled as he took my hand, "I know what you need, you need more than a moral boost Melly."

"I hadn't had time to take care of myself, Bucky." I replied.

"I've heard that before." Bucky spoke as he took looked into my eyes, "All you need is something good in return."

"What we need right now is a good night's sleep," I said, "And you know as much as I do I'm climbing in with guy who took my bed."

Morning Steve woke up as the sun shined into her room as he watched Melissa wake up beside him.

"Every fan girl is going to be Super jealous of you." He teased.

"Yeah so, and what else?" She teased back with a laugh.

"You make me feel stronger inside Melissa."

"I feel the same way Steve." She said as Steve kissed her lips.

I woke up as I saw Bucky still in his captain suit at the other side of the couch bed on top of the covers asleep. I went to my bedroom to grab clean clothes... Only to see Tony was still in my bed, and he made a mess in there too. I cursed under my breath as I scrunched up my nose in discussed as I grabbed my clothes then went to the wash room. When I got out Steve was giving Bucky coffee as Melissa was at the island bar reading on her tablet.

"Good work at Pier 21." Melissa spoke to me as I saw with that soft loving glow on her.

"Sleep well?" I teased.

"Yeah... You?" She teased back.

"Eh... Could be better if I didn't find Stark's ass in my bed."

"And you didn't jump in?" Tony teased.

I glared at him, "Don't you even dare start Stark ass."

"Alright, noted."

"We should get back to work on tracking the main computer," said Melissa, "Then render it useless and get the message out to the rest of the humans to get a fighting chance."

I sat in a chair in the kitchen as I began to think, "What if we do something both technological and biological?"

"Melly that second part is going to take a while longer than we need."

"I just thought if we make the Skrulls get sick then we have a easier chance to let people know the difference between us and them."

"Like what a cold?" Said Tony... "As crazy as that sounds that might work. I remember Banner had thought of something like that ages ago as he thought that might come in handy. It's on the jet right now."

"How much of it?"

"I can make more but you don't have the equipment for that."

"We can use what we got to make an assault on the main network area to buy us time enough to save who's in there and stop their assault on our home world."

"What about their trans dimensional portal technology?" Melissa said, "Wouldn't that affect it?"

"Not exactly, we'll only have 15 minutes before it get's to that."

"So in other words we have to get all that we can off here before we start the assault?" Said Melissa, "And start over from scratch?"

"Maybe." said Steve, as he smiled at her as she tried to hide the cute look on her face.
