When you got back to the compound Tony took you through the back door and brought you directly to Bruce's lab instead of letting you get pounced on by multiple people. Doctor Joy was waiting patiently in the lab and she ushered you in to go put on a medical nightgown. You slowly changed, and came out so she could take care of the worst of the burns that riddled your back.
"There's frost burns and second-degree burns" she looked to Tony.
"Can you treat it?" he didn't answer her unsaid question. She nodded and started getting creams and gauze to work quickly.
"I'm going to tell the team your safe" he went to leave.
"Tony, wait" you whispered. He stopped and looked over his shoulder at you "Thank you, you've done a lot for me"
"Its what family does Kitten. Let Doctor Joy do her thing" he nodded and walked out.
"Does it hurt?" Doctor Joy asked after a long silence of her working on your back.
"A little, yes" you nodded while she started working on your already fast healing arms.
"What happened?" she finally asked.
"I have wings when I use my powers to their fullest capabilities. Frost and Fire. I used both today" you admitted shyly.
"You seem to be healing quickly without my help" she checked your back again before moving to the other arm.
"Bullets and knives are a different story. Its just my own elements that I heal quickly for" you winced as she brushed a hand against a particularly large blister.
"Good to know" she gave a small smile. "You have a visitor" she whispered to you and you looked up for the first time to the doorway. Bucky was standing there unsurely. You smiled at him weakly, and his face lit up while he took long strides towards you. He didn't wait for the doctor to tell him to wait, he pulled you against him and kissed you hard on the lips. Once his lips softened a bit, you started to relax into his hold. You could hear the doctor trying to tell him to stop or to move away, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was you had your Bucky and he was holding you like he would never let you go again. You didn't care that he was kissing you with wild abandon in front of her, while his tongue was massaging against yours, you didn't care that she was starting to threaten to forcefully separate you both. You only cared about him, and how much you loved this man. You were sure that there was nothing else that could compare. You weren't ready to say it, but you loved him with all of your heart and hoped that he would never doubt it once you told him.
"Let her down Barnes" Nat's voice cracked like a whip, and he pulled back hesitantly. Nat came over and pulled you into a hug which you winced a little to.
"As I was saying, I need to finish with my patient" Doctor Joy sounded like she was about to lose her shit.
"You need to put the tracker in her while she's here" Nat went and pulled out what looked like a large capsule and placed it in the metal tray. "She's an official avenger and needs to have it. Company policy" she shrugged when your face went blank. "That way, next time she goes too far for her 'run' we can find her"
"Do you always use your wings on your runs?" the doctor asked and you flushed looking away.
"Not usually" you whispered.
"Are you okay doll?" Bucky kneeled down in front of you while she went back to treating your back. Nat stood behind him with her arms crossed.
"I'm fine, it didn't hurt as bad this time" you gave a smile. "I was just worried about coming home when I realized I went too far, that's all"
"You shouldn't have been alone" Nat admonished, and you gave her a sad smile.
"I needed to think, I promise. I'm done thinking" you winced as you felt your arm getting prepped for an incision.
"You better be done" Nat rolled her eyes. "Do you know how worried we were? Wanda was beside herself. We looked everywhere for you"
"Is she your mom?" Doctor Joy whispered to you and you gave a soft giggle feeling the scalpel open the skin on your forearm.
"Not yet" Nat gave a smile, showing that she heard that. You looked at her in shock. "Tony and I are fighting over who gets to adopt you"
"Adult adoptions are not a thing" you rolled your eyes as you felt the capsule being forced under your skin. It felt weird, like something that shouldn't be there at all.
"They are, Tony looked into it. Pepper and Bruce both want in on the adoption" she added to your shock.
"You guys only met me not that long ago" you started to argue.
"Doesn't matter" she shook her head. You felt Bucky rubbing your hand, still watching your face closely. You gazed into his eyes, and figured time didn't matter for a lot of things and gave him a soft smile. You felt the stitches pulling at your skin and winced again a little.
"The gauze needs to stay on your back until this heals" the doctor checked over your arms and wrapping everything securely and taping it down.
"I gotta get to training" you nodded and saw Nat's face get angry.
"No doll, not today" Bucky kissed the back of your hand. "Your going to rest for today, and to make sure of it we are staying in the living room"
"I'll go get her a change of clothes" Nat nodded, agreeing with Bucky.
"As long as she rests, I'll discharge her" the doctor sighed and you stood up at the same time as Bucky. He pulled you close to him by the hips and his lips found yours again. You put your arms over his shoulders and sighed happily. He pulled on the back of your thighs and you wrapped your legs around him. He kissed the side of your neck and you lay your head on top of his shoulder just enjoying the feel of his skin against yours. He was just in a pair of black sweatpants and a grey t-shirt but you couldn't imagine him being any more handsome. He carried you towards the changing room and continued to hold you, swaying from side to side while humming "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran and you couldn't stop the huge smile that came across your face. Nat returned shortly after and smiled at the two of you.
"She needs to change Barnes, put her down for a second" she rolled her eyes at him. She handed you a pair of leggings and one of Bucky's t-shirts. You blushed realizing she probably found the drawer you gave him in your room. He set you down slowly and you scampered behind the curtain to pull the leggings on, and slowly put the shirt on afraid of moving too much with all the gauze that was on you.
"Bruce said he would check to see how its healing tonight, we are all waiting in the living room" Nat put out her hand for you to take. Bucky ignored her and pulled you to him, pulling on your thighs to jump up again.
"I'm too heavy to keep doing this" you sighed doing as he silently asked.
"Not heavy enough doll" he smirked giving you a quick kiss on the lips while you put your head back on his shoulder. He followed Nat, while carrying you with ease.

"There's our baby girl" Clint announced your arrival before you could see him.
"Are you okay Princessa?" Pietro's voice came from behind you.
"You really shouldn't go running off like that, you had us worried sick" Steve added in. You snuggled your head more in Bucky's neck feeling embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I needed to think" you sat up and away from his chest a little bit trying to look over your shoulder. The movement hurt though, the message got across.
"Tracker is in now" Nat sounded satisfied with herself.
"We were so worried about you" Wanda's voice drifted closer to you.
"You need to always check in with us, you worried all of us" Vision added.
"Hate to say it, but I definitely see how she's like a misbehaved kitten now" Scott chuckled.
"Bucky, I can stand" you whispered to him. He just sat down on the couch and let you pull your legs out from under him to sit on his lap facing everyone.
"Its alright sexy legs, we forgive you" Sam came over and ruffled your hair.
"I really am sorry, I just needed to think. I didn't think I'd gone that far" you leaned forward trying not to let your back or arms touch much.
"Here Kitten" Tony brought over a sandwich for you to eat.
"Thank you, Tony" you took a bit gratefully. You hadn't even realized how hungry you were.
"I made you a fruit bowl too. You used a lot of power earlier" he sat down on the table watching you eat, holding the bowl while you saw Peter switching from one foot to the other anxiously.
"What's wrong Peter?" you frowned a little. "I really am sorry"
"Did you really fly?" he asked enthusiastically.
"I didn't mean to, but yes" you took another bite of your food thoughtfully.
"You know you are not training for a day or two right? Not until the wounds fully heal" Bruce pointed a finger at you, which added just the right amount of sass to what he was saying.
"Its already healing" you shrugged. "I'll be fine by tonight"
"I'll be the judge of that. No moving around today, you should be on full bedrest" he seemed upset, and you felt terrible.
Tony handed you the bowl of fruit once you were done your sandwich, and you started nibbling at it trying to pace yourself where you felt so hungry.
"I'll go make another sandwich" he stood up, and you wanted to argue, but the look on his face told you it would be for nothing.
"Keep eating doll" Bucky rubbed the sides of your thighs and giving a soft kiss on your shoulder where there was no gauze.
"Bruce and I are headed to check the encrypted file" Tony came back a few minutes later with another sandwich which you started eating without another thought.
"The rest of us should go back to training, we have a big mission coming up" Steve nodded in agreement. "Except you two" he pointed at you and Bucky.
"I'm helping with the encrypted file" Nat announced "but I'll be checking in to make sure she's resting" came out as a warning.
Bucky waited for you to finish eating while the others filed out of the room. You went to stand up, but he just grabbed you by the hips and put you beside him instead, grabbing the remote and turning on The Hobbit for a movie. He put his feet up on the coffee table, and put a hand on your shoulder that told you to lay down. You moved slowly trying not to hurt yourself more and lay across his lap facing the TV. You had watched this once at Morgan's and loved this movie. He played softly with your hair and you started to relax. You couldn't imagine feeling fuller of love than you did at that moment.
