"You cost me everything!" Sharon bellowed at Zemo, pointing the gun directly at him.
"Sharon, wait" Sam resorted, putting his hands up.
Morana stepped between Sharon and Zemo. "We're here on business, someone has recreated the super soldier and we need Zemo's help"
"That explains why you guys are here. And Selby's dead" Sharon said.
"So, what are you doing here?" Bucky asked.
"I stole Steve's shield, remember? I also took the wings for your ass, so that you could save his ass, from his ass" Sharon said, motioning her gun towards the guys. "I didn't have the Avengers to back me up. So, i'm off the grid in Madripoor"
"Don't blow the smoke, I was on the run too" Sam informed her.
"Was. Is. — a big difference. I don't speak to my family anymore, I can't. My father doesn't know where I am" Sharon continued.
"Listen.." Bucky trailed off. "Sharon, we need your help"
She looked to me. "And you, you could of least contacted me to tell me how you were getting on with these two" Sharon said, talking about Sam and Bucky.
"I got distracted, besides you're here now" I fake smiled.
"Wait, can we go back to the fact you two know each other?" Sam asked.
"I've known Sharon for years, we work together occasionally and my mission from her was to babysit you and Bucky" I shrugged, looking back at Sharon. "So, what now?"
"I have a place in High town. You'll be safe there" Sharon said, before waking away leaving us to follow.
Morana, Sam and Bucky walked into Sharon's overly guarded house. To say it was beautiful was an understatement. One thing Morana did notice was the stolen art, Sharon was selling. She was impressed.
They all followed Sharon past the exhibits and further into the house. They were required to change as there were going to be clients showing up in a few hours. Morana explored all the clothes she had left last time she stayed with Sharon. She finally decided on wearing her black coated skinny jeans, with a corset black hoodie.
Once she was changed, she made her way to the lounge room. She stopped in her tracks as she saw Bucky leaned back on the couch in a full black outfit. She sat opposite him, trying her best not to stare.
"Look, you know the whole hero thing is a joke, right? the way you gave up that shield, deep down, you must know it's all a hypocrisy" Sharon explained to Sam.
"He knows, and not so deep down" Zemo said, sipping his drink.
"By the way, how is the new cap?" Sharon asked.
"Don't get me started" Bucky said, irritable.
"Awful" I added on.
"Please, you buy into all that stars and stripes bullshit. Before you were his pet psychopath, you were Mr. America, Cap's best friend" Sharon answered, to Bucky.
"And you, of course you think he's awful, I mean you two do have a history" Sharon said, "and not a pleasant one of what I remember"
"Yeah, don't remind me" I said, annoyed.
"Wow. She's kind of awful now" Bucky stated.
"You'll get used to it" I chuckled.
"You're one to talk" Sharon shot back.
"I agree with Sharon. And you two and act like a married couple and don't get me started on the sexual tension between you two" Sam smirked.
Bucky and I shared a look, but refused to say anything.
"Point proven" I heard Sam whisper to Sharon and I threw a pillow at him.
"Well, the party will be starting soon, lay low, blend in, enjoy the party. Try to stay outta trouble" Sharon lectured, before making her way out of the room.
"Trouble" Zemo scoffed.
While Sharon was gathering intel and what not. Morana decided it was her day off and that she would let loose for once. So, when Bucky slid her over some drinks, she did not decline. She took a sip of the amber coloured liquid, enjoying the burn it left in her throat.
While scanning the room of the people who were singing, dancing, cheering, making out, she could spot Zemo and he looked like he was having the time of his life. She couldn't help but chuckle at his horrible attempt to dance and blend in.
Morana felt the sudden touch of Bucky's arm touching hers. "Have I told you that you look beautiful tonight" He said, moving closer to her.
"Now you have, you don't look so bad yourself. You clean up well" She smirked.
Bucky let out a laugh, moving further towards Morana to the point where her back was pressed against the wall. He now stood in front of her hovering over, as he is 5'9 and Morana is 5'5.
They stared at each other for a few minutes, her brown eyes peeking from behind her lashes looking into his blue ones. Bucky reached his thumb out and grazed it over her bottom lip. Her lips parted and she tilted her head back.
Bucky grabbed her chin and pulled her back to his eye level. They both found themselves slowly leaning in. "Can I kiss you?" He whispered in her ear, making sure his lips brushed against her ear, making her heart skip a beat.
"I thought you'd never ask" She mumbled, as she pulled him down to her level, connecting their lips at once. His mental arm resting on her hip, which sent shivers down her spine and his other hand cupping her cheek.
She kissed him so deep, she forgot whose air she was breathing. But for the first time in her life, something felt right and she knew in that moment then, no one else could ever make her feel such an electric spark like this.
The instant their lips left one another's, that's when they realised how much they wanted each other and it was all becoming so clear. And for once, they both pushed away their stubbornness and followed their hearts.
"I like you" Bucky said, both of their foreheads resting against each other's, enjoying the warmth that radiates around them.
