New Life

Mission 7

The next day Natasha wakes up to find Bucky still asleep, with his left hand behind his head, and his right resting on his stomach. She lets out a light chuckle at the sight.

'He looks, so carefree.'

She brings her hand to his face, and caresses his cheeks. She rubs his chin and kisses him on the forehead. She quietly gets up and heads to the shower. As she stands under the hot water she rubs her hands down her hair stopping at the back of her neck. Just as she felt someone's presence behind her she turned and was met by a very naked Bucky grinning at her.

"I thought I could join you." She smiles and nods, handing him the shampoo bottle. "Well, my hair isn't going to wash itself you know."

Steve was in the kitchen putting together a fruit bowl, when his phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Oh, okay. I'll let them know."

Natasha and Bucky walks into the room just as he hung up the phone. He looks at them with a smile. "Looks like we'll be leaving soon guys. That was Fury, he wants us at the new Avengers Facility. To stay close in case of any new threats, he doesn't want us separated like when Thanos first came."

Natasha sighs and steals a piece of fruit from his bowl before responding. "Okay, when do we leave then?" Steve swats at her hand and puts some sugar on top of his fruit. "He said he sent a quinjet; eta is 4 hours. So I'm heading to my room now to pack. Remember we have to say goodbye, so make sure you make enough time for that too."

"Okay Dad, got it." Bucky jokes getting a laugh in reply. Natasha grips Bucky's arm and pulls him closer, before leaning up and pecking him on the lips. Just as she was backing up, his hands found their way to her hips and pulls her back into his embrace. "Nat, we gotta go and pack again. Come on, milii moi."

3 Hours Later:

Sooner or later the 3 made it to T'Challa's quarters, to bid farewell.

"You guys are always welcome to return whenever, your rooms will be here." He hugs them each. "Well, I'll try to come back during free time. I enjoy it here." Natasha tells him. Steve and Bucky nodding along behind her as she spoke.

T'Challa gestures them to follow him out to the platform as he points out that the quinjet should arrive any moment.

When they make it to the platform Okoye and Ayo bid farewell too. T'Challa crosses his arms over his chest, and the 3 do the same as.

"Alright guys, I guess it's time to go now." Bucky tells them as he points to the quinjet that's landed. They turn around and head to the quinjet, waving one last good-bye to T'Challa, Okoye and Ayo.

"I am so going to come back here." Steve says out loud as they take off.

After arriving to the new facility, they are met with Nick Fury standing by the entrance waiting on them. "Abut damn time. While you guys are here, I want you too get comfortable. It'll be just like before in there."

Natasha and the rest followed Fury inside. Fury keeps the tour short and sweet, ending it by telling them that they have 3 free days before having an assignment they need to do minus Steve unless he wanted to tag along.

With that being said they all split up heading their own way to their rooms after getting out the elevator. As Bucky walks down the hall in direction towards his room he sees Sam standing in front of his door.

"Buck, there you are. I was wondering if you wanted to come along with me on this quick mission?" Bucky takes out his key and opens his door gesturing for Sam to follow. "Sam, I don't know. I only have 3 days before Fury is going to get us working again." Sam holds his hand up stopping him from speaking anymore. "Don't worry, it'll be simple. There's this guy who stole some confidential information and we need to get it back."

Bucky drops his bag on the couch before turning around with a scowl on his face. "So if it's so simple why do you need me to come along?" Sam rolls his eyes with a sigh, crossing his arms on his chest. "Because the guy, we need to get the information from, has some really strong people. I hate to call you this but I need a partner-"

"Whoa there, we are not partners"

"Yeah just two guys who have the same friend. But I do need your help with this one."

After some silence Bucky finally surrenders and agrees to help him. "When do we leave?"

Sam heads to the door, as he is about to exit the room he yells out 2 hours. Leaving Bucky with enough time to change clothes and say goodbye to Steve and Nat.

Bucky texts both Natasha and Steve about the work he was going to help Sam with, getting a notified response.

Bucky heads out to the living room, and sees Natasha sitting on the couch with a book in her hand. She looks up the moment she feels eyes on her, smiling when she sees it's Bucky.

"Natalia..." He smiles and puts his to go back by the door. She stands and opens her arms out to him, he walks and embraces her in his arms kissing her on the forehead. "You be good yeah? Try to not only eat sandwiches while I'm away okay?" She smacks his back in retaliation to what was said. "You know Steve cooks, I'll be fine. But you be careful, come back in one piece." She says before giving him a wet kiss on the cheek. He grabs her chin and pulls her in for a long kiss. Natasha separates their lips only to pull in into a hug. Natasha moves her hands to around his neck as his lower to her back, both of them slowing listening to the other breathing. Just as Bucky places another kiss on top of her head, he catches site of Sam standing there, frozen.

"Oookay? When did this happen?" Sam asks while holding his bag over his shoulder. His voice startles them, causing them to pull apart. Bucky scratches his head with a smile as Natasha pats his chest 3 times before leaving.

"You be careful boys okay?" Natasha waves goodbye as the elevator door closes. Sam looks back at Bucky with waiting for him to respond to his question.

"So are we going or not?" He says changing the subject. Sam holds his hands up in surrender, "Okay, let's go. They're waiting for us."
