It was odd how easy it was for him to go back to being a soldier again. Actually it was a little too easy and a part of Bucky hated how easy it was for him to be handling a gun again and looking at death hundreds of feet away. Well it wasn't Nazis or Hydra this time...hell he almost wished it was another man that he would have to fight. At least that would make some sort sense. It was aliens though and Bucky wondered vaguely what Hydra would make of this.

He had been brought out of cryo after the Invasion of New York to be given an update on events. They had been pleased with the chaos it created. People were turning to SHIELD and wanting anything that would make them feel safe again. It sped up the work on Project INSIGHT and closer to their goal of being in charge. Bucky was sure if they were any members of Hydra left this would not be pleased with this chaos.

These aliens were messengers from their leader Thanos. What kind of stupid name is that anyway? Thanos was gathering something called Infinity Stones and if he had them all he could destroy half the world. Vision had one of the Stones and was with Alison, Shuri and Wanda. Alison and Shuri were working on a way to get the stone out of Vision without killing him. Once it was out Wanda would destroy it. It was up to them to buy them time to do it. He thought about how pale and worried Alison had looked has they parted. She hugged him tightly and kissed him not caring that others were watching. We'll get it done. Between me and the girl genius it should be easy. We'll be done before you know it. Bucky had kissed her on the forehead before going. He had faith in her and Shuri, they were easily the smartest people he knew. All he had to do was buy them enough time to do it.

Bucky tucked chain that held his dog tag and his wedding ring on it into a pocket. He had given the other dog tag back to the original order not to long ago and that was something he was still trying to work out. All the crazy seems to happen at once.

"So when this is all over you wanna see my farm?" asked Bucky. Steve looked over at him and for a brief second Bucky saw his old friend when he grinned.

"I'll have to see it to believe it," said Steve.

"We we need to get this done before tonight. I have goats that need tending,"said Bucky. Steve shook his head again and went over to T'Challa. Bucky made sure the gun was ready and watched as Steve, T'Challa and Natasha made their way over to the barrier keeping the others out. Bucky hoped that it would that simple and that he and Alison could just go back home, however something inside him knew it wasn't going to be that simple. You knew back in March that things were going to get crazy. You just didn't think how crazy it would be.

March 2018

Bucky leaned against the door frame of the home they had built together and watched Alison tend to the small garden they had planted a few weeks ago. She was weeding and singing softly to herself as she worked. It wasn't much. Just a few sweet potatoes and some peas. She wanted to see if they could grow anything before they really got into it. If it didn't work it would be alright and they wouldn't be out too much. The goats gave them enough money to live on, plus they could also work out a barter for something from the nearby village.

Bucky felt a small smile come to his face. If anyone had ever told him he would live to be one hundred and one, raising goats and married to someone several decades younger than him he would have laughed until he passed out. Once he couldn't have imagined a life outside of New York and now he was living in a country thousands of miles away from Brooklyn and he was okay with it for the most part.

The reason for it being okay most of the time was behind a fence they had set up to keep the goats out the garden. Alison had let her hair go back to its natural dark brown and she had it pulled up in a bun. She had gotten a light tan from all the time they spent outside and it was a private joke between them that maybe she should do something about her tan lines. After all the nearest neighbor was miles away.

The goats were currently out of their pen and trying to get around the garden fence. Alison paused from her weeding to look over at them.

"You get plenty of good grass and hay. You don't need the few little sprouts we have. Your father spoils you and now I have to play the bad guy," said Alison. It was another little joke between them that he spoiled the goats and had made her the no fun one. Sometimes it was joke that he did find funny. He made his way across the yard and leaned on the fence.

"You are so mean. No wonder they don't like you," said Bucky. Alison tossed the weeds into a basket and went over to him.

"I saved them the weeds. Does that make up for it?" asked Alison. Bucky helped her over the fence and grinned.

"Well maybe it's a start," he kissed her forehead. "Why didn't you wake me up this morning to help you with stuff?" asked Bucky. Normally they were both up early to finish chores before Alison went into the village clinic and he went to see if there was anything he could work on with some of the other farmers. It was how they got the goats and he was hoping to work something out for chickens next.

"Well it is your birthday so I thought I would let you sleep in," said Alison teasing.

"It's our anniversary and maybe I was going to let you sleep in," countered Bucky. She smiled up at him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Well maybe I was planning a creative way to wake you up when I got done with things," said Alison. She pressed herself against him in a teasing way that had him wondering how creative she planned on being.

"Maybe I could go back to sleep and we'll call it a surprise," said Bucky. Alison shook her head and laughed.

"Nope the surprise is ruined. Now you'll never know," said Alison. She went to go into the house when he grabbed her arm lightly and pulled her into a hug.

"Happy Anniversary sweetheart. This has been one of the best years of my life. Thank you," said Bucky. She wove her fingers into the fingers on his left hand before kissing him slowly in the way that always turned him inside out.

"I love you. I do have another surprise for you. I'm not scheduled to see anyone at the clinic today. They said they would send someone if they needed me. I think you could miss a day of work too Sergeant," said Alison. She looked around carefully before starting to unbutton her shirt. She wasn't wearing a bra and he could see where the tan started to fade to pale skin by the third button. Bucky eased her hands away so he could undo the other buttons and pulled the shirt off her.

"Mrs. Barnes you are a terrible influence on me," said Bucky has he bent down to suck one of her breasts. She arched back and ran her hands through his hair.

"That was the plan," whispered Alison. He ran his tongue over her nipple and felt it harden. His left hand went to her other breast and he ran his thumb over her nipple and enjoyed feeling it get hard too. Bucky feels Alison's hands move down to his waist to unfasten his pants.

"I might have put a blanket behind the house for us if we want to go there," said Alison. Bucky pulled away from her and grinned.

"I like it when you plan things," said Bucky. Alison picked up her shirt before taking his hand and pulling him around to the back of their house. Alison had been about to take off the long skirt she was wearing when he stopped her.

"Something about having you half dressed makes it a little different," said Bucky. Alison nods and lies down. Bucky slides his hands under the skirt and smirks when he realizes she not wearing any under garments. He isn't surprised to find she's already wet for him and he slides a finger teasingly around her opening and enjoys the way she arcs her hips into his hand in demand.

"Tell me you want it," said Bucky. He runs his thumb over her clit and Alison swallows hard.

"I want it. I want you take me now," said Alison pleading slightly.

"I will when I'm ready," said Bucky sliding two fingers into her while starting to suck on breasts again. She moaned and arched her hips into his hand. He was ready, but he liked teasing her.

"James...please…," whined Alison. Her eyes were closed and he undid his pants enough to free himself. He parted her legs and was inside her a second later.

When he was younger he thought after a time the passion fades from a marriage and would fade from the sex. If anything the marriage seemed to drive the passion for her more. He had been alone and unloved for decades until Alison came into his life. He had given up the idea of love and sex being tied together. Sex had been used as punishment and well love was weakness and not needed by a weapon. Now in the early morning light his wife is telling how him much she loves him as he drives her to climax. He pulls her close when he cums inside her and he feels her shudder a little and laugh slightly.

"Not a bad way to start your morning," said Alison and she kisses him.

"You keep that up and we'll have to have another go," said Bucky. Alison simply smirks and eases him off her.

"I'm going to go wash up. Think you can make us some toast?" asked Alison. Bucky groans in mock annoyance.

"I guess I can make you breakfast after sex. You are so demanding," said Bucky. She keeps smirking and pulls her shirt back on. It's only than Bucky realizes she has her little shower kit and a change of clothes on the blanket. Yep she had planned this and well it was one of the reasons he loved her.

"Happy birthday," said Alison giving him another kiss before going to shower.

They had just been finishing up their breakfast when they heard the sounds of a hoover vehicle. Bucky wonders why he feels a sinking feeling in his chest all of a sudden. It was either T'Challa or Shuri coming to check up on them, but normally they left a message at the clinic or sent someone to tell them the King was on his way. Oh god. Did something happen to Steve and others?

They go outside and they see T'Challa with two of his female bodyguards approaching. He normally never brought them so this already sent warning bells off somewhere in Bucky's mind.

"Your Highness," said Alison and they both greet him the way they have seen others do, arms across the chest in a X. He returned the greeting before addressing them.

"Sergeant, Mrs. Barnes. As King of Wakanda I am here to inform you that has of this morning the criminal charges against Alison Conley have been formally dropped by the United Nations and the United States," said T'Challa. Alison sagged against Bucky and he almost missed catching her before she fell. Honestly he almost fell over too. All the charges were dropped? Questions were slamming around at one hundred miles a minute and it was Alison who gave them a voice.

"I don't understand. What about the others?" asked Alison flushing a little as the two guards gave her a look.

"The others still have all their charges pending against them I'm sorry to say. However the others do not have the legal team you have or a father that speaks so passionately in their defense," said T'Challa and it took Bucky a second to realize what T'Challa had said and once again Alison gave voice to the puzzled thoughts in his head.

"What legal team...my father died when I was ten…"started Alison.

"Come with me. We clearly have a great deal to discuss," said T'Challa. Bucky took Alison's hand in his and felt it shaking as they followed T'Challa. Bucky wondered how something that was supposed to be good news scare could scare him so badly. What in the hell is going on?
