The large indoor pool that Shuri allowed Daphne to use was probably one of her favorite parts of Wakanda.

She liked to go for a swim, early in the morning. When nobody else was there. It was calm and serene.

Under the water, she could make out a figure approaching and his long dark hair quickly gave away who it was. Daphne swam over to the edge a smile on her face as she popped up.

"Morning. What are you doing here?" she asked.

"You weren't there when I woke up," Bucky said, squatting next to the edge.

"I'm sorry. I was supposed to be back before you woke up" she told him, reaching out to grab his hand.

"It's fine" he mumbled, his head tilting slightly to avoid making eye contact with her, his fingers playing with her own.

Despite his words, she made a mental note to tell him the next time she ever woke up before him or at least leave a note.

"Help me out? We should probably get breakfast before visiting Shuri" she said.

Bucky grabbed her arm, his strength obviously still there as he pulled her out in one swift motion.

She stumbled as her feet touched the ground, gripping onto his arm to steady herself.

"Sorry," he mumbled, his eyes roaming down her frame, water dripping down every curve of her body.

"It's okay. How'd you sleep?" she smirked, pretending not to notice his staring as she wrapped a towel around herself.

"Not bad. You still didn't have to sleep on the ground with me" he told her.

"I don't mind. Steve and I were the same way when we first woke up. Which reminds me, we should probably call him, tell him you're awake" she said, as they walked back to the small hut she was living in with near the rest of the border tribe.

"After. I want to see if this will actually work" he said.

"It'll work. She's been testing it on your brain scans" she said.

"Brain scans are different from actual brain," he said, as they walked into the hut.

He sat down on the small cot as Daphne began drying herself off, changing into different clothes.

"It will work," she said, pulling a shirt over her head. "I promised you I'd find a way to help, didn't I?"

Bucky was silent as she continued getting dressed. After getting her shoes on, Daphne grabbed his hands, pulling him to his feet.

"Bucky. It's going to work. Trust me" she said.

"I trust you," he said as she pressed a quick kiss to his lips.

"Good. But we should hurry" she said, tugging on his hands. "Shuri hates when I'm late."
