Tessa sat beside Bucky in the car as the Uber driver pulled up to the dock that Sam's boat was held at. She had been staring out the window and watched the scenery go past them on the way, she had never been to Louisiana and the part that they had landed in wasn't what she had expected. There were only a few houses and Tessa wouldn't have been surprised if Sam knew everyone in Delacroix. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she felt Bucky nudge her before he got out of the car and opened the trunk to pull the suitcase out before shutting it and walking around to the side she was sitting on and opening the door before helping her out. They thanked the driver and after he pulled away they started heading down the dock in search of the boat that Sam owned.

In the distance they could see a group of people gathered around a giant container "Okay so how are we going to get this off of the truck?" Tessa heard Sam ask and she watched as everyone just shrugged, she looked around but she didn't see a crane or anything that could lift it off of the truck.

"Watch that for a second." Bucky said as he sat the suitcase beside her before walking over to the truck and picking the container up. Tessa bit her bottom lip to stifle a giggle as she watched Bucky easily carry it over to where he was sure they wanted it and put it down while everyone but Sam watched him in amazement. "You're welcome." Bucky said and she let out a sigh before walking over to them with the suitcase in her hand. She could see Sam about to make some comment to Bucky and she decided to jump in to stop a potential fight.

"Hey Sam." she said as she handed Bucky the suitcase.

"Hey Tess. What are you two doing here?" he asked with a smile.

"Oh we were asked to drop something off for you." she said as Bucky put the suitcase down.

"Yeah so just sign for this thing and we'll get going." Bucky said sounding slightly annoyed. Both Sam and Tessa looked at him in shock.

"Going? But you guys just got here. Stay a while, I promise that no one is going to look at you weird because of your arm." Sam said while looking around. Bucky was about to argue that they couldn't stay but when he saw the look on both Sam and Tessa's faces he let out a groan.

"Alright we'll stay but only for one night." he said while holding up a finger before Tessa and Sam let out a cheer and Sam pulled her down the dock to show her his boat.

"They're just like little kids. You'll have to bring her down for more playdates." came a woman's voice from beside him. He turned to look at who was talking to him, there was an African-American woman that was about Tessa's height but slightly leaner than her beside him. She had on a pair of dark blue capri pants and a black 3/4 sleeve shirt that had some kind of pattern down up in silver. Her long black hair was done up in a braided ponytail and he could see some kind of flower sticking out from behind her right ear, he noticed that it was about to fall out and he went to fix it before stopping. She looked up at him questioningly "Did you need something?" she asked and Bucky pointed to his own ear.

"Your flower's going to fall out." he said and she let out an oh before she quickly adjusted it.

"Thanks. Sam's nephews gave it to me and I don't want to lose It." she said as she fought with it to stay in.

"Can I do something? I had little sisters growing up and they had a lot of boys giving them flowers that they'd put in their hair and I remember something they did to keep them in." he said as he held his hands out. She took the flower out and handed it to Bucky who carefully fixed her hair before putting the flower back in, he showed her to shake her head and once he was sure that it wasn't going to fall out now he stepped back "You're all good." he said before the two of them started walking down the dock again. Up ahead they could see Tessa standing beside Sam as he introduced her to everyone that was standing around the dock. "I just realized that I never introduced myself." he said as he turned towards her and held his hand out.

"That's okay. I never introduced myself either. I'm Jessica." the lady said as she held her hand out. He took it and shook it and was about to introduce himself "I know who you are. While I don't know Tessa I do know Tony and Sam pointed at you and called you by name." she said when she noticed Bucky wincing. "Anyway I know that he's not going to say it but I'm sure that Sam really appreciates this. I know he had all of Delacroix here to help him but a lot of them are older and can't do a lot of heavy lifting." she said and Bucky raised an eyebrow.

"Are you asking me to help him?" he asked as they stopped to stand amongst the crowd.

"I guess I am." she said with a shrug. Bucky thought about it for a second before he shrugged back at her and joined the crowd. It turned out that asking Bucky for help had been a good idea, it was easier for him to pull stuff apart and with his vibranium arm they didn't have to worry about him getting splinters. Tessa helped out the best she could and both Jess and Sam caught Bucky and Tessa giggling between the two of them as they would toss a rag or splash each other. Everything was going smoothly and they were making good progress on the boat, the four of them were sitting on the boat Bucky and Sam were sipping on some beers while Jessica and Tessa sipped on some water when Sarah walked up. She was looking at a clipboard and saying something to Sam about something that had to do with the boat when she looked up and right at Bucky.

Both Jessica and Sam noticed that she was staring at him for too long and they both tried to clear their throats to get her attention. Bucky put his bottle down and stood up before slowly walking over to her "Hi. I'm Bucky." he said with a smile not wanting to look like an ass for not introducing himself again.

"I'm Sarah." she said before cracking a smile.

"Oh okay Sarah." he said before nodding his head as he committed her name to his memory. He turned to go sit back down and was shocked to see Tessa walking past him. "Tess where are you going?" he called out as she quickly walked down the dock.

"To the bathroom." she gently called back before she disappeared in the crowd. Jessica quickly put her bottle down and followed her knowing full well that she wasn't headed towards the bathroom. She found her amongst a few boxes and she could tell that she had been crying.

"Tessa?" she gently called out and she watched as the other woman's head lifted up before she quickly wiped at her eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked as she walked over and wrapped an arm around her.

"It's nothing. I just get...not jealous really I guess. Just insecure." Tessa told her as she leaned into her.

"Because of what happened between Sarah and Bucky on that boat?" Jessica asked confused and Tessa nodded.

"I mean look at her. She's so well put together and actually makes an effort to make herself look nice. I threw on a pair of jeans that have seen better days and an old band t-shirt that used to belong to Tony. Hell I don't even own any makeup because I never bother putting any on." Tessa said before burying her face in her hands.

"And yet Bucky can't take his eyes or his hands off of you." Jessica said with a smile. Tessa stared at her and was about to say something to her when they heard someone calling out for Tessa.

"Tessa? Hey where'd you go? Did you get kidnapped or something?" Bucky called out as he wandered the dock looking for her. Jessica waved an arm in his direction and he walked over his jaw dropping for a second before a scowl crossed his face and he got down to eye level with them "What happened?" he asked and Jessica smiled at Tessa. Sam had told her a while ago that he was pretty sure that Bucky would willingly burn the world down for her. She watched as he quickly sat beside her before pulling her out of Jessica's arms so that he could wrap his around her better. Jessica watched as the two of them quietly talked between the two of them before Bucky carefully picked Tessa up "We'll be right back. We need some time alone okay?" he asked before walking off.

"Uh huh. Name it after me if it's a girl." she called out as she watched them walk away. Tessa let out a snort but Bucky turned around to look at her in confusion "Tessa will explain it to you while you're having your alone time old man." she said as she waved the two of them away. She watched them with a smile before she got up with a sigh and headed back towards the boat.
