Tessa let out a moan as she slowly woke up, the sunlight hit her eyes and she quickly pulled the blanket up over her head in an attempt to block out the sun. She reached out and touched Bucky's side of the bed feeling that it was still cold which meant that either he still wasn't home or he just hadn't come back to bed. Sam had called him extremely early in the morning telling him that a transport van holding the remaining members of the Flag Smashers had exploded and they wanted him and Bucky to help investigate how it happened. She was about to fall asleep when the urge to go to the bathroom hit and with a sigh she pulled the blanket back and got out of bed. She threw her clothes back on not wanting Emily to see her naked and made a beeline for the bathroom door.

As she sat down on the toilet she let out a sigh of relief before the rest of her started to wake up. She let out a groan as various parts of her started to hurt. She made a mental note to start stretching more before she slowly stood up and headed towards the tub. She figured that soaking in some nice warm water for a few minutes would help ease her still sore muscles and she could clean off the stickiness that was still on her thighs. Once the water was at the level she wanted it she turned it off and got undressed before slowly getting into the tub, her muscles started to relax as soon as she sat down in the tub and she leaned her head back to rest on the tub.

She could hear Emily singing along to one of Bucky's records as she cooked in the kitchen. She closed her eyes and went over a mental checklist of what she needed to do that day. She needed to head back to her apartment and contact her insurance company about the damage done to it so that they could pay for it and so she could grab a few more clothes from her dresser. While she waited for the repairs to be made, and then she wanted to head to the store to stock up on food since she'd be staying there a while and it didn't feel right to just eat all of Bucky's food especially since super soldiers need twice the amount of food as everyone else. And then she realized what else she'd have to pick up while she was out, she sunk down into the tub a bit as she realized that she was going to have to buy a box of Plan B and do her best to avoid the cashier's gaze as she acted like what she had done the night before was no big deal.

Suddenly there was a knock on the bathroom door "Hey Tess. I was thinking that we could go out and run some errands after breakfast since Bucky still hasn't made it back yet and since we didn't get our girl's night out." Emily called out. Oh great just another person to know now.

"Okay Em sounds good." Tessa called back hoping that she sounded convincing.

"Okay. Hurry up. I made your favorite and it's going to get cold." Emily said before walking away. Tessa stared up at the ceiling before letting out a sigh.

"If there's any Gods up there just strike me down now because I know that Thor won't do it." she said before she started to wash up.

Emily let out a gasp as she ran over to the pajama section and grabbed a hold of a nightgown that Tessa knew was to short for either one of them. "Tess look! Oh I bet Bucky would love to see you in this." she said as she pulled it off of the rack. She held it up to Tessa and you could automatically tell that it would barely cover her thighs. She wanted to tell Emily that she didn't need to wear somethign like that to get his motor going but thought better of it, she didn't want to talk about either one of their sex lives in the middle of a Walmart.

"I'll think about it." Tessa said as she slowly put it back on the rack. Emily rolled her eyes and pushed the cart back towards the grocery section. While she was heading that way Tessa quickly turned and walked towards the medicine isle and looked for some Plan B. Her eyes went wide when she saw the price just to get a box but she grabbed one and quickly walked to the register.

"Good afternoon ma'am how are you today?" the lady asked ash she took the box and scanned it.

"I'm fine." Tessa said as she avoided making eye contact with her. The woman told her the total and Tessa quickly swiped her card and grabbed the bag after telling her that she didn't need a receipt. She hurried up and found Emily hoping that the other woman hadn't realized that she had been gone for several minutes.

"Where'd you go?" Emily asked as soon as Tessa caught up to her.

"I had to go to the bathroom." Tessa lied as she tucked the box into her pocket in the hopes that Emily wouldn't see it.

Tessa sat in Bucky's room as she read the instructions on the box. She could feel her stress level going up a she realized that she had wasted time running around with Emily and she had already almost wasted a whole day which according to the box gave the pills less of a chance of working in time. She quickly swallowed the pills washing it down with some water she had gotten from the kitchen earlier. "Tessa? I'm home." Bucky called out and Tessa let out a squeak as she dropped the box. She heard him walk down the hallway and she quickly bent down to pick the box up when his bedroom door opened up and she felt his arms wrapping around her almost automatically.

He heard the box as he hugged her and he pulled away and looked down to see her looking down at the now smashed box in her hands. "Oh jeez I'm sorry I didn't know you had something in your hands." he said as he looked down at it. "What is this?" he asked as he pulled the box out of her hands, she watched as he turned the box this way and before stopping and looking right at the front again. "What's Plan B?" he asked and Tessa let out a sigh.

"It's a pill to make sure I don't get pregnant." she said not wanting to look at him.

"Pregnant? Oh. Um. Tessa. I don't think that I can have children. Hydra did so many different things to me I wouldn't be surprised if it's just not a possibility for me." he said as he handed the box back to her.

"Yeah well better safe then sorry." she mumbled as she put it on his dresser. Bucky raised an eyebrow at her before he shook his head and let out a sigh.

"I have something to tell you so you might want to sit down." he said as he scratched the back of his neck. Tessa quickly sat down and looked up at him afraid of what he was going to say. "So, the transport van that exploded was transporting all of the Flag Smashers to jail…Travis was in that van." he told her. He watched as a look of shock crossed her face and he slowly sat down beside her. "Are you okay? I mean I know that whenever I realized that basically everyone that hurt me was dead and I wasn't going to get the justice I want isn't going to happen that it drove me crazy for a while." he said as he gently put an arm around her.

"I don't…I don't know how to feel…I feel relief at knowing that he's never going to be able to hurt me again but at the same time I'm angry that he's never going to actually pay for what he's done." she said as she stared down at the floor. Bucky let out a sigh and nodded his head, he knew that it was going to take her a while to get over the shock and that there would be several different emotions that she would go through before she would eventually go on and look like she's getting on with life but he knew that in truth that it would probably plague her for the rest of her life.
