Chapter 32: Pizza, Cheesecake and Worry

Darcy woke up to Steve's phone ringing, she yawned as Steve's deep voice answered on a tired " Hello". He listened for a beat, then scrubbed a hand over his face.

" Are you sure? I trust Buck, Sam." he hung up but rolled over to look at her.

" Mary and Buck are off gallivanting." Darcy blinked

" It's what 3 a.m. Mary has weak lungs! It's September if she's not dressed right she could get pneumonia!" Darcy screeched and Steve chuckled stroking her hair.

" Your not worried she's with Bucky?" he asked, she shook her head

" No its Bucky I'm pretty sure if he went garbanzo beans he'd leave Mary in a safe place, no I'm worried shes out with out her inhaler, emergency meds a warm coat her medical emergency bracelet." Darcy was vaguely aware she sounded like her mother having one of her worry episodes.

" Should we go find them." He asked sitting up stretching Darcy rolled out of bed to go see if her sister had any of her emergency items with her. She checked Mary's bags and found her emergency meds but not her in haler or bracelet. She scurried out of the room feeling a tiny bit better until she notice Mary's thickest cardigan laying on the arm of the couch. She tired to squash down her worry, one hour that was all she was giving them. If they weren't back by then she and Steve were going to go get Mary.

Mary happily munched on her slice of greasy New York style pizza Bucky sat next to her in the booth his arm dropped causally across her shoulders. In no way did she believe Bucky had a thing for her, well she hoped not. He had a beautiful girlfriend so she heard from Darcy who was a bad ass she really didn't want said girlfriend to kill her. So she was hoping he was just being protective because the waiter was looking at her, he was like a big scruffy guard dog.

" Should we go see a Picture, or some place for dessert Kukla." he asked

" Cheesecake?" She asked pulling off a pepperoni from her pizza, he squeezed her shoulders eyeing down the waiter with a stony look.

" Sounds good we could try a deli." He said with a grin as she nodded and sipped her fanta, His phone rang as she was finishing her pizza. He pulled it out it was an old Motorola flip phone, he clicked the red button.

" Every thing okay?" She asked he nodded putting his phone back into his pocket.

" Didn't know the number."

Darcy growled throwing her phone hard on the couch were it bounced at least a foot in the air, Steve raised an eyebrow. As she pulled at her hair a little bit , it had been an hour and she tired to call Bucky and he hadn't answered.

" Sorry Steve I think we need to go get her" She said pulling at the hem of her blue hoodie, he stood up and pulled her into a hug. He stroked her curls and kissed the top of her head

" Okay let me try then we can go get her, Jarvis will know were they are." She nodded as he took out his own phone and called bucky it rang three times and he didn't answer he sighed and hung up.

" Jarvis were are Bucky and Mary?" Darcy had gone to pacing tugging at her curls, the AI coughed delicately

" Sargent Barnes and Miss Lewis are in New York in route to an unknown location." He said, just as Darcy screeched loudly rushing to Steve's side grasping the phone to yell at Jarvis.

" What the french toast are they doing in New York?" she asked letting go of Steve's phone she turned to grab her shoes purse and Mary's meds.

"I'm sure she's fine Darcy, you don't have to worry." He said gently rubbing her back softly

" You know my whole family thinks I don't care about her." She said wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You do though very much." Steve said kissing the top of her head, she nodded bunching her hands into his white shirt.

" I know I sound crazy, but I've seen her have an asthma attack, I've seen her pass out from anemia, I've seen her have to sit gasping for breath because she's pushed her self to hard or got too excited. Steve it's terrifying that's why I'm worried she's off with out her medication." she said trying not to freak out on Steve " It got to the point where when we went anywhere we had to be really careful. She have attacks so easily it got to the point it was easier to leave her with my grandfather. So she was less likely to get sick." Steve hugged Darcy tight he understood why she was so worried , Bucky had worried about him the exact same way.

" It was easier to leave her where shes safe." Steve said completely understanding buck use to do that all the time. He never liked it so he knew Mary didn't like it either.

" She hated it didn't she?" He asked, she nodded he lovingly kissed the side of her head.

Mary and Buck ended up in all night delicatessen in Queens enjoying a really good piece of cheesecake. It was almost five in the morning and Bucky was asking her what she wanted to do next.

" Its New York I've never been here before, Times square, Central park I dunno." Bucky Grinned wide it was a little scary actually

" Let me make a call, lets do something crazy." Mary smiled happily excited someone was willing to let her do something fun. he pulled out his phone and dialed a number it rang a few times.

" Hey sorry to wake you, I need a favor. We need to do something wild and crazy that wont kill an asthmatic. Yeah will meet you at the tower." He hung up

" What tower?" She asked sighing down longingly down at her empty cheesecake plate.

" Stark tower, were going some where with tony." She blinked wide eyed, he didn't mean who she think he meant did he?

" Like Tony Stark?" She asked trying to get her mind wrapped around it.

" Yeah, he's a cheese ball you'll like him." he took her hand and lead her back to the turbo, they climbed in and they headed to Manhattan. Mary stood mouth open looking up at the tower.

" You weren't kidding were you?" She asked as Bucky towed her into the tower. The security guard waved at them as the got into a slick stainless steel elevator . The door opened to a window filled room, A man with wavy black hair and a goatee stood in the middle of the room. He was dressed in jeans, a band t shirt and a sports jacket, he turned grinning at them as they stepped out of the elevator.

" Hey soviet how are you doing, Darcy you should see what I built for Pollo." Mary blinked wondering how to tell the man she wasn't Darcy.

" Tony this is Mary, Darcy's twin sister." Bucky said with a wave of the hand, Tony blinked and stepped closer to Mary eyeing her up and down.

" Tony Stark billionaire philanthropist, ex playboy." She put her hand in his and shook.

" Nice to meet you ." He cringed, shaking his head

" God no its Tony, just Tony." He rubbed his hands together " So soviet told me you wanted something fun to do." she nodded, Bucky gave Tony a long glance.

" Remember Tony ,Mary's an asthmatic ." Tony sighed waffling his hand back and forth

" Will be fine no need to worry." He said, then why did Mary suddenly feel the need to.
