Destiny and Loki set up in an apartment, as promised, and quickly set up their stuff, checking their surroundings before she settled on what was available. The condo was fully stocked with food, clothes, and books and even had a radio and television, but they saw folders with top 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 alone time with Desi was all he wanted. Her lover, Barnes, was a possessive oat. With busybody Steve out of the way and his business done with Asgard, he was glad to have more time with her.

Time was edging closer to their departure, and Desi excused her to get ready. Desi wore a short sleeveless dark emerald dress with a v-cut to show her cleavage, with slits up her thighs. Desi slipped on gold heels with black eyeliner and gold-trimmed eyeshadow with nude lipstick before entering the living room. Loki froze at her attire, biting his hand as he contemplated.

"Ready to go, My 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, 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, recognizing Stephanie. It was Steph's first assignment she was lead on, and seeing Lemi again definitely put her more at ease. The past few days passed, and Loki was Desi's rock.

Whenever Desi finished 'working' on someone's memories, Loki would pull her into his lap and calm her down until she was ready. He 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 what she had learned before calling it a night.

Coming back home, Loki was having difficulty 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, which 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 his name as she crashed from her second orgasm, panting as she tried to collect herself. Loki rolled off of her, pulling her back against his chest as they gathered themselves.

"I must say, you are much more responsive when you drink spirits." he admitted. Destiny laughed, suddenly hitting with a new energy wave as she climbed onto his lap.

Loki swallowed hard when he saw her in such a way: her hair over one shoulder, her lips parted, and her face flushed. "Let me take care of you this time." Loki slid his hands up her thighs to her hips. "Allow me." he stated. He lifted her, hearing her gasp as he eased her onto him once more. That night, neither one slept.

Destiny was reviewing the information they had gathered that morning when there was a knock on the door. She looked over to Loki, taking out her gun as he approached the peephole carefully. He relaxed when he saw who it was, opening the door to reveal her brother. "We need to talk." her brother stated. Closing the door behind him, he sat in front of her as she sat back down.

"What's up?"

"A load will be coming in tonight. Prepare yourself, alright? Once the shipment has docked, we are to strike. Straight mission."

"What about the load?"

"Leave everything untouched; don't destroy anything."

"We'll be ready, don't worry." Loki narrowed his eyes when he saw the shift in her brother's eyes. "Say what you know, Lemi." he declared. "They gave us new security equipment," Lemi stated, taking out his smartphone. It took him a moment before he slid it over to her, seeing the color drain from her face. "Look familiar?" Lemi asked her.

"Loki..." Desi whispered, and he learned he hated her tone: fear. Looking down at the contraction, he saw the collar they put on her all those months ago. "Anyone enhanced who comes to interfere is to use this on them," Lemi explained, "Please don't tell me you've had experience with it?"

"When the team rescued me, I had this on me. It has a claw mechanism that latches onto the host when placed. Hurts like hell." Destiny explained, noticing the anger on her brother's face. "I'm going to forgive you for not sharing that with me," he told her, "but I'm going to notify Hill. Lay low tonight, okay?"

"You too, brother." she said as he stood. Lemi looked to Loki, a firm look on his face. "Take care of her for me, will you? No self-righteous crap," he asked of the God of Mischief. Loki smirked, "I will. She's quite a handful, isn't she?"

"I'm right here!" she exclaimed, Lemi smirking back. "Thanks." he said, ignoring his sister's words. He left without another word, leaving the lovers alone. "Well, let's get ready for tonight."

After heading back to the club, Steph wore a silver sparkling dress with low-heel black shoes with a slit over her thighs to help with more movement, but Loki was going crazy over seeing her in the outfit.

The club was pulsating with the music, as busy as it was every other night. She noticed her second lover was at the bar during her performance. His jaw clenched, and predatory eyes excited and shook her. Clearly, he had heard from Hill, or else he wouldn't be here; both had a mission to do.

When she was finished on stage, she had just made her way down the stage when a male customer at the corner table pulled her onto his lap, causing her to feign a surprise. "Hey beautiful, why don't you come here and entertain me for a bit?"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not an option tonight." she said, trying to get up, but he pulled her back onto his lap. "Now, now. No need to be like that, little pet. I can show you a good time." The man felt a tab on his shoulder and looked back to see Loki standing there with an eerie smile, "What do you want?"

"We seem to have a problem," Loki said with a scoff, the smile still on his face as he approached the man, "You seem to be making my girlfriend uncomfortable. So, I want you to apologize." The man laughed abruptly, "Apologize? Why would I do that?" He looked over Destiny's body, disgust evident on her face. "Pet is a compliment for someone like her. You don't mind if I borrow her, do you?" the man asked, pushing Loki back.

Her eyes widened; the man didn't realize he sealed his fate. Loki chuckled, leeering into his eyes, "Amusing. Let me show you who the pet is, shall we?" Loki stated before he curled his hand, the man disappearing. Destiny gasped, looking around. As Loki took her hand, she was thankful no one was looking.

"He was an asshole, but where did you put him?"

"Not to worry. He's where he belongs." He stated before casting his magic again towards the air. Following his gesture, she laughed when she saw the man in a dancing cage, struggling to escape.

"I should be mad, but I 'm turned on." She confessed, making him chuckle.

"Truly?"

"Truly."

"I'll hold you to that, pet. Remain on task."

"Will do. Heading to the back."

Separating from one another, Destiny made her way to the backroom where Steph was waiting for her. Going towards the dressing room, she saw the load docked from the back. The guard stopped the two of them from moving forward.

"Sorry ladies, come back-"

Steph didn't wait for him to finish as she knocked him quickly with a maneuver to the neck, both women catching him. Steph threw him into the bathroom, taking out her silent pistol and handing Destiny an earpiece.

"Load is here, guard is out. Move in now," Steph ordered through the comms before looking back to the healer, "After you, Archangel."

"Okay."

Following her order, Steph and Destiny entered the hallway, rushing in without backup. Destiny ran in, using the skills Nat and Deadpool trained her, knocking out many of the agents as Steph covered for her. Making her way down the stairs, she heard the hurried steps above her but refused to be distracted when several men gathered in the room.

Lemi is one of them.

"Go!"

Destiny charged at her order, creating her shield and throwing it through the room at the assailants before she took off on foot. She felt the bullets bounce off her shield, deflecting any attack coming her way until she threw her shield and knocked back a few other enemies.

She repeated her assault, hearing people dropping around her, the sound of Bucky and Loki around her, but remained focused. Her eyes widened as the shield hit another attacker when she saw it did no damage to the last man standing.

Could it be?

"Is that…a super soldier?" Destiny asked out loud. The attacker screamed at her as he charged at her, making her throw another shield that had the same no-effect. The attacker grabbed her by the neck and threw her into the wall, making her fall to the floor in pain as debris fell over her. "Yup, definitely a super soldier…" she grunted as she scrambled onto her foot. She 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. Looking down, she saw the dagger her father had left her, and she unsheathed it.

With a loud grunt, she thrust it into his stomach. The assailant cried out in pain, dropping her onto the floor before he took out the dagger. She was getting on her foot when Bucky ran past her, punching the man with his vibranium arm as Loki helped her onto her feet.

"Are you alright?" he questioned, relieved when she nodded silently. He looked over predatorily to the assailant and called his dagger. Bucky had managed to knock him back, but before he could finish him, Loki illusioned behind the man and stabbed him, the assailant gasping for air as the God of Mischief turned the weapon. The man dropped with a thud, but the threat was over.

Bucky approached her, checking over her when he saw the bruise on her neck. "I'll heal it later," Destiny swore, hearing her slightly raspy voice, "let's just wrap it up here, okay?"

"Stay with me, alright?"

"Alright. Thank you."

"Anytime, doll." He stated, wanting to take her back to the compound, away from Hydra.

Destiny 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 bed; go back to sleep." Bucky ushered her, but she pouted, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Don't leave me." she whined, making Bucky chuckle at her behavior.

"I'm not leaving you, doll. I'm right here." Bucky assures her. She sighed in relief, snuggling into his chest when she ran her hands through his hair. "I love your hair, but I miss the long hair; did I ever tell you that?" Desi confessed.

"You may have told me a couple of times, yeah." Bucky said, smiling. "Tony wanted us to do our reports when you woke up, but I wanted to ask you: do you want to return to the old apartment soon?" he asked. She perked up, her beaming smile evident on her face. "Can we? I miss that place." she questioned.

"I'll talk with Stark. It shouldn't be a problem." Bucky told her. Destiny sighed heavily before kissing his cheek, sitting up as she removed herself from the bed. "I guess we better go, then. I'm going to shower quickly," she announced before disappearing into her bathroom. When she came out in a towel, she was nearly surprised when Buck stood there, her dress in hand. She couldn't help but roll her eyes as she plastered a smile on her face.

"Let me guess, this first?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Anything for you, papi." she said, flashing him a wink as she took the dress. She had turned when she felt his metal hand grasp her arm, spinning her back to face him. "I want to watch." Bucky said, his hard stare as heated as when he first saw Desi in the dress. She bit her lower lip and nodded silently. Her eyes never left his as she slipped into the dress.

"Spin for me, slowly."

Desi blushed but obeyed. Bucky pulled her towards him, aggressively kissing her as he forced her to walk backward. She made a surprised gasp when she felt her drawer behind her, his tongue invading her mouth briefly before he spun her around. She looked up and was face-to-face with her mirror, her eyes glued to his dreamy blue eyes.

"Don't look away from me, understand?" Bucky whispered in Desi's ear, one hand sliding up her inner thigh before he cupped her sex, his other hand releasing one of her breasts from her dress.

"Yes, James."

"Say my name."

"James." Desi moaned, Bucky's thumb flicking her pearl as his finger invaded her wet pussy. She felt her knees grow weak, his fingers always able to make her quiver. He pinched and pulled on her nipple, squeezing her periodically, but she struggled to keep herself from crumbling.

"I love seeing you come undone for me. " Bucky whispered before he added a second finger. Desi moaned loudly, instinctively grinding her ass against his hard erection, hearing him hiss against her ear. "I need you inside me, James. I miss you." She moaned.

"Fuck." Bucky cursed under his breath, hiking up Desi's dress, exposing her ass to him as he roughly grabbed and caressed her ass cheeks. He quickly undid his pants, allowing them to drop as he rubbed the tip of his cock against her glistening pussy. She leaned against her drawer, her breasts pressed against the tabletop of her drawers. Their eyes never lost contact with one another, but she dared not try to stop her low moan as she felt his tip enter her.

"Oh, you're so good to me." She said, her eyelids drooping for a moment from the sensation of him, feeling his tip entering her, in and out, which was driving her wild. "Tell papi what you want." Bucky whispered in her ear, nibbling on the corner of her earlobe. "I want your cock inside me, Papi. Please, I want you to release your cum inside me." She moaned. Her hips tried to move against Bucky's, but his hands tightened around her waist. He gave her a smack on her ass, making her gasp in surprise, but he smirked when she felt him squeeze tightly around his cock.

"Who knew innocent Desi was so naughty? Do you talk like this to Loki?" Bucky asked, feeling possessive once more. "No, Papi. Only for you." Desi swore. "Good girl." Bucky whispered before impaling her. She threw her head back as she was overwhelmed by his cock invading her, hissing when he dug a hand into her hair, pulling her head back as her eyes stayed pinned to his. He fucked her roughly, his cock kissing her womb. He thrust frantically in and out, now desperate for his release.

Destiny screamed as she came hard but held on as Bucky still hadn't finished yet. He let out a series of grunts as he reached his completion, filling her to the brim with his cum as he shot into her womb. The supersoldier rested his head against her back, refusing to remove himself.

"I'm sorry, doll, did I hurt you?" he asked, but she shook her head. "No, I'm not hurt. I'm more than okay." Desi assured Bucky, moaning as he slowly removed his cock from her. He pulled his pants before he lifted her in his arms, making her smile as he took her toward the bathroom.

"Oh, we aren't done yet, doll. We both need another bath."

Destiny had knocked on the door, patiently waiting with Loki and Bucky, when the door slowly opened before being swung wide open. "Well, look who decided to grace us with their presence," Wade teased, leaning against the door frame, "I see you brought Inspector Gadget and Reindeer here with you."

"Wade, Weasel! Let them in."

He sighed. "Do come in." he said sarcastically, swinging the door open and revealing his friend behind him. Destiny made a beeline to his wife, seeing her tired but blissfully happy face as she held the newborn in her arms. "Hey, girlie." Vanessa said softly. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she asked, sitting with her as the men stayed in the kitchen with Wade and Weasel.

"Tired. Doctors said the soreness will go away, but my breasts are so much in pain." the new mother stated, making her frown. "Here, this should help for now." she said, touching the mother's knee. Vanessa let out a sigh of relief, feeling the pain disappear. "My God, I love those magic hands of yours." Vanessa said.

"Of course, and how's little Addison doing?" Destiny asked, smiling as she showed her the baby. "She's so good for now, but I know the worst is yet to come. Do you want to hold her?" Vanessa asked the healer, moving the newborn towards her. "Can I?" she asked, the mother nodding. She carefully placed the newborn into her arms, and Destiny smiled when the baby turned towards her, making the Avenger smile blissfully.

"She told me about Rogers, that McDick. How's she holding up?" Wade asked curiously. "She's doing better now. Loki and I make sure she's not alone. But, she's doing good." Bucky assured him. "Has she been giving you guys any trouble?" Weasel jested as he sipped his drink, but Loki chuckled. "No, actually, a possible future. Turns out our little healer wants to be a mother one day."

Weasel spit out his drink, the woman looking over to them, but Loki flashed her a mischievous grin, making her roll her eyes. He didn't bother to fight the smile on her face. "Can't you cut it out?" Bucky asked of him, the God looking at him. "I make no such promise." he answered. The Winter Soldier was ready to give him an earful, but looking at Destiny, he saw how happy she looked with the baby. She had handed the baby back to Vanessa.

Maybe.

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 to experiment on people and 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.

Today was the day to attack their base.

Bucky drove Destiny's motorcycle that Tony had made for her alongside Captain America, her bike equipped with its turret as Steve had a standard bike. Tony made it for her long ago, but yeah had the chance to use it. The team fought through, Bucky backing up Captain's six each step of the way as Desi helped destroy vehicles on their rear, trying to clear the way.

A made-up barrier came their way, and the team jumped over it. Desi flew as she threw her sword at an incoming vehicle, helping the assault.

"Language!"

She grunted as she was tackled off the vehicle by an unseen assailant. Bucky looked back to see her throwing a shield at the attacker 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. "You alright?" Steve asked, 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 the archer's location. She saw him fall and 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 past 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 enhancement 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 cried 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. Loki landed beside her, throwing ice at oncoming men, covering for them. 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, 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 and Loki. Thor was focused on taking the scepter home with Loki, hoping to end Loki's probation, but they could only know for sure once they got home.

Once Desi finished 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 a farewell party for Thor and Loki 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 24, right?" Tony answered. "Yeah, but that's okay. I don't need a party." Desi assured them. "Nonsense, it'll be a farewell AND a birthday party simultaneously. Can I invite your nice brother?" Tony asked, and she smiled. "Thank you, Tony." Desi said with appreciation. "Dr. Choi is going to be there on arrival. She wants to observe Clint's body briefly; I 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. "Whoa, you two still have beef? I'm surprised." Bruce said, smirking when he saw her apparent irritation. "You don't get along?" Steve asked. "Never have and never will. That woman said I shouldn't be pushing myself as a medical personnel. Yet the moment I healed my first agent, she'd been trying to get a blood sample out of me for her research. I'll head home when we land…" she stated.

"Happy can take you home, not to worry. Barnes, you staying?" Tony asked. Bucky looked over to Destiny and smiled, "Go ahead. I'm heading to the apartment." she assured him. "I'll head home when I'm done here with Steve. What about you, Antlers?" As they landed at Stark Towers, Bucky advised her, looking over to Loki. "I'll be delayed. Thor and I must return to Asgard, but I'll return soon." Loki stated. The team was 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 spunk she showed sometimes. "Alright, that's enough," Steve warned him, "how is she doing, by the way?" Bucky gave him a hard stare but relented, "She's doing good."

Steve nodded, "Let me know if she needs anything, will you?"

"You can try talking to her, Rogers. You know this is ridiculous; you still love her."

"I'm not ready to forget Peggy, you know that."

"She never asked you to; she wanted you to consider, too," Bucky reminded him, his friend looking down in disappointment, "You won't always have that shield. Remember that."

The Avengers stayed at Stark Towers for the next three days, and Destiny couldn't join them. Desi was waking up sick every morning, constantly throwing up, and was worried she had food poisoning from her adventure. Pepper helped her as best she could, but with few options left, Pepper reached out to Dr. Choi despite her wishes.

At the request of Pepper, she came to the compound with her dogs, dressed in a midnight blue silk dress with her back exposed 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 again; Peter rubbed Desi's back as he pinned her hair.

"How long has this been going on?" Pepper asked as she was on the phone. "Three days." she answered. "Have you eaten anything you are allergic to?" Pepper asked, receiving a shaking head from her.

"Have you eaten anything?" Pepper asked. "No, I throw up everything I eat." Desi whined. Pepper's face went into shock, looking over at her carefully.

"Destiny, 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. "It's every other day, with Bucky and Loki." Desi answered, noticing the teen's nervous look on his face.

Bucky was coming to pick her up any minute for the party, and had to play it cool for him. Peter handed her the toothbrush she frequently used, cleaning herself up as he lifted her onto her feet. Pepper sighed, "Let's get you to the med bay, okay? Peter, help her, please." He carried her down to the med-bay, carefully placing her down as Pepper brought up Jarvis.

"Jarvis, can you do a scan on Destiny, 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, body scan, and 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. "Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! Are you excited because I'm excited! Oh man, have you told Mr. Barnes yet? What if it's Loki's? Wait, what about Steve?" Peter asked non-stop.

"Told me what?" Barnes's voice came out from behind—Bucky dressed in black slacks, a black buttoned-up shirt, and a black dress jacket. Desi nearly wanted to pass out at hearing Bucky's voice, wanting to hide as Pepper caught her. The 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 and Chip for me; thanks again, Peter." Desi shouted as the duo left the compound, Pepper joining them in the car ride to the party.
