The failed experiment (Bucky x reader)

Back to Missions

When you woke the next morning, you were still tangled up in Bucky's limbs and the sheets. You took a moment to just stare at his sleeping face before leaning up to give him a soft kiss on the lips. Slowly his eyes opened and he smiled at you.
"I had the most amazing dream" he whispered. "This Angel came into my life, and I woke up and she's still here" he leaned down and kissed you softly again.
"I'm no Angel" you scrunched your nose and he chuckled kissing the tip of your nose.
"Agree to disagree" he brushed his hand across the side of your cheek and you leaned into it. You both could hear activity in the hallway already, and realized that you had slept in. You pulled him in for one more kiss, lingering at his lips longer than usual and pulled back after a moment.
"Time to suit up" you sighed softly.
"We could always be late for breakfast again" Bucky went to go for another kiss and you giggled.
"Steve is going to be here any moment" you warned him.
"That punk wouldn't dare" he pulled you on top of him and kissed you hungrily. You were starting to feel breathless when the cursed knock came at the door and you giggled.
"Time to suit up" Steve's voice came through.
"I knew it" you gave Bucky a kiss on the forehead and slid off of him.
"Punk, you're ruining a moment" Bucky growled.
"There were plenty of moments last night, trust me, I could hear you two across the hall" Steve sounded like he was laughing. You flushed remembering how you had continued to make love during the night, but you had tried to be quieter. You pulled on your red panties and bra and a pair of kitten socks as Bucky walked in and grinned at you mischievously.
"I can work around those" he announced, leaning down to kiss you again and you giggled again.
"Come on James, we are going to be late" you kissed him back then reached for your suit and boots.
"Fine, but when I get home, we are both calling in sick for a day or two" he kissed your cheek. You pulled the suit on completely and started adding your gear to it that you had in the closet while you watched Bucky change into his. "Don't forget to use the collar" you reminded him.
"I won't, I know its important" he acknowledged while you sat and watched him curiously. Your new suit fit like a glove, and you could feel the material was a bit lighter where your wings would normally come out. It seemed Tony took everything into account. Your boots had a bit more of a heel, so you needed a moment to get used to that as you stood up. It wasn't too high, but felt just perfect. "Oh Doll..." you saw Bucky looking at you, already wearing his full tactical gear. "You sure we don't have time before breakfast?" he pouted slightly and you giggled. "You look delicious" he added, pulling you in for a hungry kiss. He was all tongue and teeth, and you were tempted to let him have his way.
"I wish we had time" you whispered as he pulled away slightly.
"Wear it for me when I get back" he started kissing down your neck. "Just for me" he added as he got to your collarbone leaving more love bites in his wake.
"I promise" you were almost panting wanting to lose control. He started toying with the zipper at the front when you heard Wanda yelling that breakfast was ready and you pouted along with him. You both sighed heavily and went to brush your hair and teeth.
"I'll have to shave this" he growled grabbing the kit and throwing it with his bag.
"I won't complain either way. You look handsome regardless" you gave him a quick peck on the cheek as you both headed to the door, stopping only to grab Alpine who was waiting expectantly beside the vase of roses.

At breakfast everyone was already suited up that had recon missions. Peter was in a hurry since he had to get to the university and made it out the door quickly. Bruce seemed to be quieter than usual, along with Clint. You put your hand on Bucky's thigh when you were done eating, it was soothing to your nerves. Bucky was giving Leia, Chewy and Harry more scraps than usual, but you didn't say anything. You knew he was going to miss the dogs. Alpine had made his way up to his shoulder again and was purring while watching everyone at the table.
"Tony, stop pouting" Pepper finally broke the near silence of the room.
"Why is Tony pouting?" you quirked an eyebrow.
"He missed out on having his Halloween party because of lockdown, and now he thinks he's going to miss out on the Thanksgiving party with everyone booked for missions for the next few weeks" she easily replied.
"Its still weird that you celebrate in November. I'm so used to it being in October" you shrugged. "Its just a party Tony"
"Its not just a party, it's a celebration of family and being thankful" he corrected you.
"I'm not missing out on Laura's Thanksgiving feast this year" Clint and Nat quipped quickly.
"I'm with them" Bruce flushed a bit.
"But we have Kitten now, and that means that Laura and the kids should come here" Tony rolled his eyes.
"No, Kitten comes with us" Nat shook her head.
"This is why the four way adoption was a bad idea" Sam chuckled. "I saw this argument coming"
"Lets just cross the bridge when we get there" you flushed a bright red and Wanda let out a giggle.
"You'll decide to be where Bucky is anyways, and he never misses Thanksgiving with Steve" Wanda smiled easily at you. Bucky chuckled, and took your hand from his thigh to give it a kiss.
"Arguments aside, its time to get to work" Steve stood up.
You heard the rounds of be safe from everyone staying behind as you made your way to the artillery room. You saw that your new gear was labeled as you went for it first putting it to your right, while the normal stuff went to the left. You grabbed a few of the new widow bites just in case, before taking your time to put in your knives and guns. Bucky seemed to be taking his time putting his gear on, deep in thought.
"Time to go" you heard Steve say from behind you. "I'll give you two a minute" he added with a smile, and gave Bucky a quick hug.
Bucky walked to you with purpose and kissed you softly on the lips before dipping you back and deepening the kiss. When he brought you back up to standing, he rested his forehead against yours and gazed into your eyes.
"I love you, I need you to be safe" he whispered with a lot of emotion.
"I love you, I need you to be safe too" you whispered back, feeling like you were going to cry.
"Don't forget to answer your phone" he teased.
"Only if its you" you nodded giving him another kiss, trying to sear it into your memory.
"This isn't going to be forever" Nat slapped you softly on the butt, and you let out a small sound. You saw Bucky's eyes instantly darken and he kissed you again roughly on the lips. You saw Bruce walk by in his lab clothes giving Nat a quick kiss and a longer hug before he started towards the jets. "Don't let it get to a code green, please" Nat spoke softly, and you nodded while Bucky grabbed his bags and binder heading to the jet with Nat. You rushed after the direction that Bruce went in and saw that Clint was sitting in the passenger seat talking to Steve. You took one last look out the back to see Bucky pause to look at you before getting on the separate jet. You gave a small wave before backing up and seeing him disappear from view.
"I figured since the last recon didn't go so well, we could use an extra set of eyes on the jet" Clint shrugged while checking his arrows. You knew Nat probably asked him to try to take Bruce's spot as pilot, since they were best friends.
"Why don't you stay and work here Bruce?" you offered softly.
"I'm the pilot, we will be fine" Bruce shrugged. You had a feeling he was anxious about this recon too.
"Alright, let's do this" you put the seatbelt on and took out your phone to switch up the music. Steve came over and sat beside you putting the seatbelt on while Clint and Bruce took on piloting the jet.
"It's supposed to be a dead base, but its still synced to the live bases" Steve was already in work mode. You nodded, and let him continue to explain the plan. It was going to be different working with him, since he wanted to take the lead into the base. He started explaining that you were going to go directly to the computer lab instead of checking the base with him, and you raised an eyebrow at that.
"We are supposed to do this together" you finally spoke up. "I specifically remember saying not to baby me" you gave Steve a level gaze.
"Fine, we check the base together" he thought about it for a moment before nodding his consent. "Clint and Bruce will keep the jet going while we get in and out as quick as possible" he finished.
"Clint's not doing such a thing. Clint is going to be watching the front door from the forest" Clint spoke up from his seat. "I also don't like referring to myself in third person, seems weird. Bruce will keep the jet running and, in the air, and I'll call him when I see you two coming out"
"I'm fine with that plan" Bruce nodded.
"This is overkill for a dead base" you grumbled putting your comm in, continuing to study the base layout that you knew of.
"How many data sticks did you bring?" Steve asked after a few minutes.
"The normal three, plus one in my bra just in case" you grinned while Clint laughed and Steve flushed.
"Nat taught her well" Clint chuckled. You gave a small smirk and leaned your head back closing your eyes for a moment.
