Criminal Minds - Resurrection

Reid x fem!reader (previous relationship, broke up sometime after Emily died, takes place during and after season 7 episode 1, so there will be spoilers)

Y/N POV

“Seven months ago I made a decision that affected this team. As you all know Emily had lost a lot of blood after her fight with Doyle. But the doctors were able to stabilise her. And she was air lifted from Boston to Bethesda under a covert ex filtration. Her identity was strictly need to know.” Hotch spoke to the room.

“She’s alive,” Pen asked in shock.

“But we buried her.” Spencer said confused.

“As I said I take full responsibility for the decision. If anyone has any issues they should be directed towards me.”

“Any issues? Yeah I got issues” Morgan said in a mixture of shock and anger.

Just then you saw Emily walk in… alive.

“Oh my….god,” you said under your breath. You looked over at Morgan he looked just if not more shocked than you. He had been there when Emily had been attacked.

“I am so sorry. I really am. Not a day went by that I didn’t want to … Really I. You didn’t deserve that. And I’m so sorry” Emily said.

Everyone was getting up and hugging her. You briefly meet eyes with Spencer and he looked surprised. The only other person besides Hotch that didn’t look surprised was JJ… had she known? Did she help get Emily out and into hiding? You gave Emily a very tight hug.

“I missed you so much” she whispered in your ear.

“I missed you more” you whispered back.

“There’s so much I want to tell you guys, and I will I promise. But right now I really want to know what’s going on with Declan.” Emily said.

-

Your mind still was reeling from the fact that Emily was alive and with you all again. The last seven months had been an emotional rollercoaster. You had buried one of your own teammates, you had cried for what had felt like days and had to deal with the fact the team downsized. Spencer had begun to pull away about a month afterwards until one day you had enough and confronted him about it.

“Have a good evening at JJ’s?” You asked from where you were sitting on his couch not looking up from the book you had been reading.

“What are you doing here?” He asked closing the door with a thud and kicking off his shoes

“Seriously?” you asked putting a bookmark in the book before closing it and placing it on the coffee table.

“Yeah… it’s late. What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for you,” you said looking at him, had he really forgotten that the two of you had made plans to stay in tonight and watch something?

“Why?”

“Because we had plans Spencer. This is the third time you’ve bailed on me and each time it’s because you’ve been at JJ’s.” you said getting up from the couch and coming face to face with him.

“We have plans for Wednesday. Anyway JJ has been helping me with dealing with the loss of Emily”

“Today is Wednesday Spencer. I tried calling you but you didn’t pick up your phone. I was worried about you, I didn’t know where you were or if something happened to you, if you were hurt. The only reason how I knew where you were was because JJ called after you left and asked if everything was ok,because she had overheard our plans the other day. Anyway it’s late, I cooked it’s on your counter in some containers if want to heat it up.” You said grabbing your bag and heading for the door.

“Where are you going?” Spencer said grabbing your wrist.

“I’m going home. Like I said it’s late, I’ll see you at work in the morning”

“Please stay. I.. I’m sorry I got the days mixed up. Just please stay the night y/n, you can borrow my old shirt from MIT. We could still watch something or I could read to you. Just please stay.” He spoke grabbing your elbow and slowing you as you opened the door, you froze he sounded so sad and tired and your heart ached whenever you heard him like that all you wanted to do was turn around and hold him in your arms. You closed the door and turned around and faced him.

“Why don’t you talk to me?” You asked trying not to sound desperate and frustrated.

“Talk to you about what?” He asked he sounded genuinely confused, for a genius he really could be an idiot at times.

“About Emily, about how her loss has affected you. I’m right here, why do you go to JJ and not me” you say with tears in your eyes. You had stood there waiting for his answer for what felt like an eternity…

He never answered your question he had just stood there looking at you as you shook your head and left his apartment saying you’d see him in the morning in a defeated tone. A week later Spencer had broken up with you, he hadn’t given you a proper excuse. All he had said was that it wasn’t working anymore and that you just didn’t understand his friendship with JJ. It had been awkward at first for you, but for Spencer, it was as if nothing had ever happened between the two of you he completely ignored your existence unless you were paired together on a case, which didn’t happen often as you would work with Rossi most of the time. But when the team downsized this was harder to do. You spent most of your time out of the office with Penelope who had taken in Emily’s cat.

“Y/N? You ok?” Garcia asked pulling you from your thoughts.

“Why wouldn’t I be Pen? Emily is alive” you said

“You’ve been staring at that paper for ages,” she said pointing to the document in front of you a list of names Doyle had given Emily. A list of names of people who Declan’s mum, Chole and McDermott might give Declan to for money. The next question was where would McDermott and Chole escape and how. You hoped Emily would be able to get the information out of Doyle.

“Right, I think I’m going to get a coffee to try and wake up a bit.” You said shaking your head and yawning “maybe the caffeine will help”. You entered the small kitchenette and saw Spencer pouring himself a mug of coffee. Even though it had been months since he had broken up with you your heart still leapt out of your chest whenever you saw him.

“There enough for one more cup?” You asked slowly walking over and grabbing a mug from the cupboard.

“Uhh… yeah here,” he said handing you the pot.

“Thanks,” you said taking it from him.

“So…” he started

“Did you know?” You asked putting the coffee pot down after filling up your mug.

“That Emily was alive? No” he interrupted

“No.. not that. Your face when she walked it made it pretty obvious that you didn’t. No I was wondering if you knew Morgan never stopped looking for Doyle and Declan” you asked opening the fridge to get some milk.

“Ohh… that. No I had no idea” he said handing you some caramel syrup that you always put in your coffee.

“How.. how have you been?” He asked nervously

“Don’t act like you suddenly care Spencer. It’s hurtful. And you are many things and hurtful is not one of them.” You reply putting the caramel syrup back.

“I do care,” he said

“Right, well you have a funny way of showing it.” You spoke a little harsher than you had intended but with the stress of the case, you didn’t care. Just then Emily came in.

“We have a lead.” Emily said.

“You’ve found where Chole is headed?” Reid asked.

“Possibly but we need to move fast. Meet down in the garage as soon as you can we are going to the airfield” Emily said leaving the two of you alone again.

Nodding your head you put your coffee mug down and began heading out of the kitchenette. Spencer grabbed your elbow.

“What!?” You snapped

“Can we talk?”

“Now? Are you serious? A kid is missing and there are at least two murderers on the run. And you think now is a good time to talk?” You speak just above a whisper

“I meant after… after we save Declan and catch Chole and McDermott. Can we talk then?” He said staring into your eyes.

“Fine. But you’re buying the coffee” you said.

“Deal,” he said letting go of your arm.

REID POV

They had just left the meeting in front of the Senate Committee to answer questions about Doyle and everyone was heading home. He was standing at the bottom of the steps outside of the building waiting for her. She was talking to Penelope about something, the light breeze causing the skirt of her dress to dance in the wind a little. He was watching her laugh at something, he missed being the one to make her laugh. He missed their late-night talks about shows, movies and books. He missed everything about her.

“Why did you break up with her Reid?” Emily said coming from his side.

“Huh?” He shook his head turning to face her.

“Y/n. I asked her what was going on between the two of you after Doyle. She said that you guys had broken up. I asked her why and she said to ask you because you were the one to end it.”

“Oh. She told you that?” He said looking back up at her and Penelope.

“Yeah, Reid look the two of you… you’re perfect together. I’ve never seen two people be a better fit, you complete each other. I just don’t understand what happened” Emily said.

“You died Em. And then she almost got shot on a case a month afterwards. Everything got too real.” Reid said

“And you broke up with her because… you didn’t want to get hurt” Emily

“Yeah.. something like that. I’ve been trying to figure out for months how to talk to her. And with you coming back. I figured now or never because…”

“It’s better to try than ponder what could have been. And what better excuse to use than the fact that someone coming back from the dead?” Emily finished for him

“Yeah.. we’re going for coffee. I just hope she will hear me out” Reid said as he saw y/n and Penelope say their goodbyes.

“I’ll leave you to it, Reid. Just… be gentle with her when explaining ok. And let her take her time digesting what you tell her.” Emily said as she left. I’ll wait for as long as I have to. She is worth waiting for. He thought to himself as she walked down the steps to meet with him.

“So.. you still good for that coffee and talk?” He asked

“Yeah. I stick to plans that I make. Unless something else comes up then I let the person know ahead of time” she replied. He knew exactly what she was referring to, he had missed three of their dates because he had gone to JJ’s because he was missing Emily and he didn’t know what to do. Thinking back he had not been that great of a boyfriend that last month.

“So which coffee shop did you want to got to then? There’s that nice one around the corner”

“The one with the book store attached to it?” She asked.

“Yeah… or we could go somewhere else if you want,” he said, knowing that had been one of their favourite places to go together when they had a day off.

“No… it’s ok. It’s been a while since I’ve been there” she smiled

With that, they headed over to the coffee shop. Once they got there y/n went to find them a table while he went and got their order. He found her sitting at one of the corner tables waiting for him. He took the seat across from her and handed her a mug and a pastry he had gotten for her.

“Thanks,” she said

“I wasn’t sure if you were hungry after all that questioning.” Reid said

“Like I could say no to a pain au chocolate” she smiled, it wasn’t the same one she used to give him but it was a start. “So you wanted to talk.” She said taking a sip of her drink.

“I owe you an apology and a better explanation,” Reid said. She placed her mug down and looked him in the eyes.

“Go on,” she said

“The explanation I gave you then… it was a shitty one.” He said

“That’s for sure. I just don’t understand why you couldn’t be honest with me if you weren’t happy with the relationship anymore or with me” she said looking down

“That’s … that’s not why. How could you even think that? Of course, I was happy.” He said slowly reaching for her hand and taking it in his. She pulled her hand away.

“Then why break up with me. Why leave me to deal with the grief of losing Em alone. You broke my heart. I … thought you loved me… I thought we would be together forever, Spencer.” She said

“I did it because I love you.” Spencer said

“Clearly not enough to tell me the truth. That month between Em and you breaking up with me, it felt like your were spending more time with JJ than with me. And before you say anything, I know how close the two of you are and that she is one of your closest friends. But Spencer I was your girlfriend, I thought you would at least talk to me or say that you needed to speak with other people to get through whatever it was that you were going through. But I guess I thought more of what our relationship meant than you did.” she said wiping a tear from her eye

“That’s not fair or true” Spencer replied

“Then enlighten me Spencer. Give me a real reason why you ended things. Or why only now are you wanting to talk to me. Because for months you’ve been acting like nothing ever happened between us or that I even exist.”

“I…” Spencer looked down at his mug of coffee.

“Look you’re the one that wanted to talk. So talk because if you are just going to waste my time then I’m going to leave.” She said. A few moments passed, and he heard her sigh and push her chair back to leave.

“It was easier for me… to ignore you and not acknowledge you. Because… I didn’t think I could handle being so close to you and not being with you.” Spencer said finally looking back up. She sat back down and moved the chair back to the small table. She took another sip of her drink and took a bite of her pastry.

“Ok so you ignored me because it was to difficult to be around me. But why break up with me then. Why say it wasn’t working anymore?” She asked

“Because I thought… I thought that would be a good explanation. Just enough for you not to push for more answers and possibly angry enough to not want to talk to me for a while” Spencer said looking at his untouched coffee he took a sip before continuing. “Really it was a selfish excuse. But I felt I couldn’t tell you the real reason because then …” Spencer said his voice cracking.

“Because then what?”

“You would see how weak I was or refuse to listen and stay with me”

“Spencer you are not weak.” She replied taking another bite of her pastry.

“You don’t understand”

“I’m trying to Spencer. But you are not making sense, you still haven’t actually explained why”

“I’m trying too… I just don’t know how to explain it without sounding like an idiot” He said. He saw how she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before returning her gaze to him, she was getting frustrated and was trying her best not to get angry and yell. He had seen her do that countless times on cases.

“Spencer, please I can’t take this anymore, the not knowing why. The questioning of everything I had ever done or said to try and figure out why you would break up with me” She said tears collecting in her eyes.

“I was scared” Reid confessed

“You were scared? Of what” she asked finishing up her drink.

“After Emily, I didn’t want to lose anyone else. It’s just that anyone who is close to me leaves, dies or gets hurt. And when you almost got shot on that case …”

“You broke up with me because you didn’t want to see me get hurt. But Spencer getting hurt is an occupational hazard with our job. You know that better than most of us”

“I know it’s not entirely rational but I just couldn’t risk loosing you.” He said looking down at his drink. She leaned forward and took his hand in hers and gave it a quick squeeze.

“Love makes us act irrationally” she smiled.

He squeezed her hand back and looked at her as she wiped the tears out of her eyes. Before she looked at her watch and frowned.

“What is it? Do you have somewhere else to be?” He asked nervously not wanting to say goodbye to her just yet when they were finally talking about everything.

“No… it’s just I hadn’t realised the time. I was planning on cooking some spaghetti bolognaise tonight and reorganise a few things. But … the reorganising can wait. But if I want to eat dinner at a decent hour I might have to head off soon.” She said looking back at him.

“You’re cooking spaghetti bolognaise tonight?” He said remembering that as one of his favourite meals she used to cook for the two of them.

“Yeah… did you… uh, want to join me? I always make too much. Unless you have other plans?” She asked biting her bottom lip nervously.

“ I would love too… I mean if that’s ok with you” he said.

“I offered Spencer. Why would I offer if I didn’t mean it. Plus this way … we can keep talking and uhh.. I don’t know figure out where we stand now?” She said nervously.

“Yeah” he nodded and they both got up and headed to her apartment

[bisexualunicronrunningloose]

during the wga/sag-aftra strike, we may see:

film in other countries continuing as usual, but those actors/writers are NOT crossing picket lines! other countries unions often have rules where they can’t strike in solidarity with american unions.

new indie movies separate from hollywood studios. indie movies can continue as usual too, and may even use union actors if they follow certain guidelines and/or get permission from the union.

awards shows, although they might look different and may be postponed. if there are award shows during the strike, there’s a chance they will just be live conferences announcing winners with no celebrations attached.

celebrities will not be promoting their work during this time— that WOULD be crossing the picket line! yes, this includes social media. they can still post on social media, as long as it doesn’t pertain to their work.

a lot more reality tv. this happened the last time there was a writers strike, and it will certainly happen again.

actors will also not be able to campaign for awards. this awards season is going to be a strange one.

propaganda from hollywood. they are already trying to flip the narrative by claiming they can break the unions, but they can’t. the strikers have the power. stand with them for however long this takes!

Turtledove - Chapter 20

Ch.19

AN: The final chapter is finally here! I had so much fun with this fic. I have plans for new ones in the future so stay tuned. Thank you so much for all of your comments and support.

Bucky POV 

“So … what do you think Natasha. Do you think she will like it?” Bucky asked Natasha after showing her the ring he had chosen. 

“She’s going to love it. I can’t believe you two are getting engaged” Natasha respond looking at the ring before leaning back into Steve’s arms. The three of them were in Steve and Natasha room that they were staying in while in Wakanda. 

“It’s been a long time coming. I had planned on asking her before the war and everything. But then … well you know what happened. It’s not the exact ring I was going to use, I was planning on using my mums. But Shuri helped with making this one to be as close to that one.” Bucky said slipping the box that housed the ring into his pants pocket. 

“It’s definitely beautiful. So have you decided on how you’re going to ask her yet?” Natasha asked. 

“Yeah, I have the whole evening planned. Thanks again Steve for helping me plan it, could not have done that without you.” Bucky said. 

“Of course Buck, you kidding. You and y/n deserve the best engagement story after everything the two of you have gone through.” Steve replied 

“Where is she right now anyway?” Natasha asked 

“I believe she is with Okoye and the Dora Milaji doing some training. Okoye had offered to doing some training with her. I think she wanted to learn a different way to fight, not the way she had been you know trained to do. Plus I think it has helped a lot with her ability to control her powers.” Bucky said. 

“Yeah I joined in on that training yesterday. My god they are impressive. I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of them. I was so sore yesterday when I went to bed” Natasha replied 

“You should have seen her Buck. She was passed on the bed when I got back.” Steve said laughing but he stopped once Natasha elbowed him in the stomach. Bucky laughed at the interaction between the two of them. He was happy that his best friend had found someone. He looked down at his watch and jumped up when he saw the time. 

“I’ve got to run. Need to freshen up before this evening. I’ll see the two of you later with the rest?” Bucky said heading to the door. 

“Good luck Buck!” Steve called as Bucky left the room and headed to his and y/n room to get ready.  When he got back to the room he hid the ring box in his case and locked it up before hopping into the shower. He hadn’t been this nervous about anything since he first asked her out all those years ago when they were in high school. As he was getting out of the shower he heard the room door open and close.

“James? Are you here?” Y/n called

“In here!” He called as he was drying himself off. He wrapped his towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. “How was training with the Dora?” He asked giving her a peck on the cheek. 

“Fun and tiring. But I definitely learned a lot” she replied putting her bag down at the foot of the bed. 

“What have you been up to this afternoon?” She asked turning back to face him.

“I spent the afternoon with Steve and Natasha. Now hop into the shower so we can get going” Bucky said pushing her towards the bathroom door.

“You got something special planed?” She asked 

Bucky bit his lip and chuckled “Just get in the shower and then you will see” he replied as he opened the door to the bathroom.

“Would you at least tell me what I should wear? I need to have some idea of what we are doing so I know what to wear” she complained.

“Something nice. Now stop talking and get in the shower.” He said

“Alright alright I’m going!” She laughed closing the door and a few moments later he heard the shower begin to run. He went back to his bag and took the ring box out and slipped it into his pocket. If all went well by this evening he and y/n would be engaged. He began to go over in his head how he was going to ask her. 

Y/N POV

You jumped out of the shower and wiped the steam off the mirror and looked at your reflection. It had now been two weeks since the chip had been removed and you felt more like yourself than you had in years. As you towel dried your hair your mind began to wander to what James could have planed for this afternoon and evening. He had been acting a little secretive the last few days, whispering with Steve and Nat and stoping when you entered the room. Even Nat had been acting funny, always smiling when she was talking to you and asking what you and James would be up to later, almost as if she knew something. 

Shaking your head you left the bathroom with your towel wrapped around you and entered the bedroom you found James lying on the bed flipping through the copy of The Hobbit he had ‘borrowed’ from your collection of books. He looked up at you as you went to your wardrobe and began to look through the clothes you had brought with you. You found a nice dress you had bought last year when you and Nat had gone shopping together. You turned around and showed it to James.

“Since I have no idea where you are taking me or what we are doing. Is this suitable for what you have planned?” You asked. 

“That’s perfect” He smiled

“Right, well I’ll get changed as fast as I can then I’m all yours for whatever adventure you have planned for us” you smiled as you headed back to the bathroom to get dressed and dry your hair. You looked at your reflection once more in the mirror and decided to add a little bit of light make up to complete the look, whatever James had planned you figured that a little bit of makeup would not hurt. 

When you stepped out of the bathroom James face lit up when he saw you. He was looking at you the same way he did when he picked you up for your first date.

“You look breathtaking dove. Absolutely gorgeous.” James said getting up off the bed and stepped towards. He grabbed you by your hips and pulled you into him. You let out a little yelp and he gave you a quick but deep kiss and pulled away to look into your eyes. 

“So, you ready?” He asked you with a twinkle in his eyes.

“As ready as I can be considering I have no idea what you have planned” you joked.

“All in good time my love all in good time” he said linking his arm into yours and leading you out of the room. 

James was taking you on a nice walk around Wakanda showing you places that he hadn’t shown you yet. The two of you ended up near a beautiful lake. He walked over the edge of the lake under a tree that had beautiful flowers blooming in it. He stopped there and turned to you. 

“This was one of my favourite spots to sit and reflect while I was recovering after they deprogrammed me.” He said with a shy smile.

“It’s beautiful James” you said looking up at the colourful flowers. 

“I wanted to bring you here because it sort of reminded me of the tree in Central Park where we would have picnics.” James said 

“I remember those. But this tree… I’ve never seen flowers with such rich colours” you said looking up at them again. “They are gorgeous.” You breathed out taking in the beauty of them plus with the setting sun the colours were even more vibrant. In the two weeks you had been here you had grown to fall in love with the sunsets here in Wakanda, they were definitely the most breathtaking ones you had ever seen, the colours seemed so much more vibrant and richer than any other sunset you had ever seen.

“Not as gorgeous as you.” He spoke softy “Y/N?” He asked and you looked back at him as he took your hands in his.

“What is it James?” You asked. 

“You have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. You never fail to make me smile or laugh. And the fact that you choose to share your love with me makes me feel like won the lottery. Everyday with you is better than the last. And …” he took a deep breath in before continuing “I want to spend every day with you for the rest of my life.” He slowly dropped down onto one knee, your eyes widened in surprise. “Y/n I have loved you all my life and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and being lobed by you. So, y/n. My turtledove will you marry me?” He asked with tears in his eyes as he pulled out a small black box out of his back pocket and opened it. Inside the box was a simple ring with a silver band and a beautiful stone set in it with a few smaller ones on either side. 

You looked from James to the ring and back to James again. You felt tears collecting in your eyes at the sight before you.

“Yes” you said in a small voice. You cleared your throat and tried again. “Yes, of course I’ll marry you!” You said through the tears that had begun to fall from your eyes. James smiled wide as he took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto your finger, it fit perfectly. James stood back up and wrapped his arms around your waist around you and picked you up and spun you around. 

“We’re getting married!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. You giggled as he spun you around and you grabbed his face with both of your hands and leaned down and gave him a kiss. “We’re getting married” you whispered against his lips. He placed you back down on the ground and looked at you with so much love in his eyes that you couldn’t help but give him another kiss. 

“Was this what you, Steve and Nat have been whispering about for the last week?” You asked 

“Yeah, I wanted it to be perfect” he smiled sheepishly.

“Well it definitely was” you said 

“Plus this was a long time coming. I… was actually planning on asking you before, you know before I went off to war and everything. But I decided I didn’t want leave you newly engaged when I left.” He said. Your mind went back to the memory of you sitting on his mother’s living room couch when Becca had given you his leather jacket and his mum told you that he had been planning on proposing to you. 

“Well you got there in the end. Anyway what’s 70 something years with cyro and forced control? We get to have a fresh start now. We can go anywhere we want and do whatever we want.” You smiled. 

“We better get going dove?” He said looking at his watch.

“Huh?” You asked confused.

“Everyone is waiting for us. We are having a dinner to celebrate” he smiled

“You planned a dinner without knowing what my answer?” You asked.

“Call me optimistic. Plus it was Natasha’s idea, she was convinced that you were going to say yes” he said.

“So… is this dinner supposed to be a surprise or…” you asked as James linked his fingers in yours and led you back towards the palace. 

“Uhh….”James said with a guilty look on his face.

“James! Did you ruin a surprise dinner that I am sure Nat has spent the last week organising with the help of Shuri?” You asked 

“Yes…but…” James continued 

“But what? You know if Nat finds out that you told me she is going to be pissed” You half joked.

“I know, but I figured I would warn you that we are having dinner to celebrate.” James said placing a kiss on your forehead. After leaving the lake you and Bucky made a detour to a fenced off field and said hi to his goats. Over the last two weeks you had paid a visit to them over several occasions and would give them lots of head scratches. James was still baffled by the fact that you wanted to see his goats, you just told him that you wanted to get to know the goats that helped him in his recovery in Wakanda. 

As you made your way back to the palace you walked through the street market and watched as children ran through the streets, people doing shopping and playing music on a range of instruments. A few of the people smile and waved at James, remembering him from before. A sweet young girl came up to you and gave you a hand woven bracelet. 

“A gift for the friend of Mr. Barnes” she said with a sweet smile and ran off before you could say anything. You looked at James with a confused look on your face. James just smiled and shrugged. This man… he had something up his sleeve and he was not going to tell you what else he had planned.

The two of you continued to make your way through the market and back to the place people came up to you and gave you one flower at a time until by the time you got to the palace steps you must have had about two dozen beautiful flowers of varying colours. As you climbed the steps you saw Nat and Steve waiting for the two of you. Nat was bouncing on the balls of her feet and it was obvious she was trying to hide her grin.

“Well!?!” She yelled when the you had James had gotten halfway up the steps. You had considered making her stew for the answer a bit but you were just too excited to tell her. You gripped the flowers in your right hand and lifted your left hand to show her the ring on your finger and gave her a huge smile.

“I said yes!” You shouted

“OMG!!! Congratulations.” She squealed as she ran down the steps and gave you a huge hug.

“Thanks Nat” you said returning the hug before she let go. 

“I see you got the flowers” she said pointing to the bouquet in your hands.

“Was that your idea?” You asked

“No … that would be Steve’s idea” Nat said gesturing with her head to Steve who was still standing at the top of the steps. 

“Mr. Grump over here thought that proposing under the tree would be enough. But we told him it needed to be big.” Nat said as the three of you made your way up the steps. 

“Hey did you just call me a grump?” James asked.

“Yes… yes I did” Nat said 

“Is this because I shot you that one time? Because I have apologised for that.” James said

“No, it’s because you have been a grump ever since I met you. The only time I have seen you crack a smile is around Steve and y/n.” Nat replied

“She has a point Buck. You are a bit closed off” Steve said giving James a hug. “Congratulations to both of you. I am so incredibly happy for both of you” Steve said as he gave you a hug as well. 

“Thanks Steve. And the flowers were a great touch.” You said returning the hug. 

“Right well we better head inside then.” Nat said. You looked at Nat and she still had that mischievous smile on her face. Just as you were about to ask her what exactly what was going on she pushed open the door and led the group inside and down a long hallway. 

The group got to a set of wide and tall doors. Steve and Nat went in front of the doors and each took a handle. They pushed the doors open and gestured for the two of you to step inside. As you stepped inside you were met with loud cheers and shouts.

“CONGRATULAGTIONS!!” a group of people shouted. Wanda came rushing up to you and gave you a huge hug. Over her shoulder you saw that everyone was here. Sam, Peitro, Bruce (who had stayed in Wakanda to work with Shuri on some projects), Tony, Clint and Yelena.  T’Challa, Shuri, Ayo, Okoye and Queen Ramonda were also there. 

“Oh my god you guys are all here! When did you get here?” You asked giving everyone a hug.

“We got here this morning. It was like that movie with the spies having to hide” Wanda said

“Mission Impossible?” Tony asked 

“Jason Bourne?” Clint asked 

“I don’t know, but it was fun sneaking in and making sure you didn’t see us.” Wanda smiled wide. “Show me the ring, I want to see it” she said taking your left hand in both of hers. 

“Oh it’s beautiful, you did a good job in choosing it Barnes” she said looking at the ring on your finger. 

“Well I had a lot of help with that” James said looking at Steve and Nat. “Now let’s all sit down and have that dinner that everyone helped me organise” James continued wrapping his arm around your shoulder and leading you towards the long table behind the group. Everyone followed and took their seats. The rest of the night was filled with lots of amazing food and laughter. 

For the first time in a long time you were surround by friends and people that you loved. You no longer had to look over your shoulder and worry that your past was going to find you. You were free from all of that and you and James were engaged. You couldn’t wait to see what the future was going to hold.

Turtledove - Chapter 19

Author's Note: This is a bit of a longer chapter because we are nearing the end of this fic and I wanted to get as much in each of the final chapters to not drag this out longer than I already have. I don't know how long it will take me to write the next chapter but I will try my hardest to not take months again 😂😂.

Ch. 18

You were awoken the next morning with a knock at the door. James had his arm wrapped around you and he was in a deep sleep. You slowly removed his arm from your side and wrapped a robe around you and slowly opened the door. Ayo was standing there with another Dora Milaje you recognised from yesterday. 

“Good morning” you said rubbing the sleep from your eyes quietly trying to speak as quietly as possible so not to disturb James. 

“I apologise for waking you up this early Miss. y/ln but we have a long day ahead of us. Myself and General Okoye have come here to escort you to the lab. Shuri is waiting for us along with Dr. Banner” Ayo said 

“Of course. Is there anything I need to bring?” You replied turning back to look into the room, James was still fast asleep. 

“No need. Just bring yourself. Someone will be by a little later to retrieve Sergeant Barnes a little bit later if you would like”  General Okoye replied, you had to think about that you weren’t entirely sure what Shuri had planned so you would have to ask her. 

“Can I think about that while we are getting ready? I don’t know … what…” you said as you left the room and closed the door quietly behind you. 

“What Shuri has planned? And if you want Sergeant Barnes should see it. I understand, I can ask Shuri to explain to you exactly what her plans are. Though I feel like I know him very well from when I helped him through his deprogramming and I believe he would be able to offer you a lot of support.” Ayo said you nodded at that. With that decided General Okoye began to lead the way to Shuri’s lab. The hallways we all very wide and had lots of art covering the walls. The three of you walked in silence until General Okoye spoke again. 

“Shuri tells me you are a fighter, was that something you always wanted to do?” She asked 

“No, that was never the plan. I was actually a nurse before everything happened.” You said 

“Being a healer is also a very noble cause. But if you ever wanted to learn to fight like the Dora Milaje I would be happy to give you some training. Shuri showed me some of the video surveillance that Mr. Stark had sent over, it is clear that you have some natural talent. And perhaps it can aide you in your recovery and help you learn control” General Okoye said as you rounded a corner and came face to face with a large set of double doors. “You do not have to give me an answer right away. But think about it” she continued as she and Ayo pushed open the doors. 

“I will definitely think about” you replied 

“Good, we are here” she said as she guided you into Shuri’s lab. 

Once you arrived into Shuri’s lab you stopped in your tracks. This place was huge and very sophisticated, more sophisticated than the lab and medical bay of the Avengers HQ. 

“Wow… this place is amazing” you said taking it all in. 

“Thank you” Shuri said as she came up the steps to great you. “Today is the day, are you ready to finally be free and have all of this behind you?” She asked placing a hand on your shoulder. 

“Yes” you said and she smiled at you. 

“Well let’s get started. First why don’t we get you out of your pyjamas and into something loose and comfortable and tie your hair up and out of the way.” She said leading you to a table that had a plain coloured shirt and pants. You quickly got changed in small room and you tied up your hair in a loose bun. Once you left the room Shuri led you to a different room that had a table,  an array of medical supplies and a bed. Bruce was in the room and was looking at something on a computer screen with his back turned to you and Shuri. You froze in your tracks. Your mind jumping back to the memory of when you had first gotten the chip.  

“Are you ok?” Shuri asked 

“Yeah… just, a little nervous. But this place is a lot nicer than that place … something tells be that place was not clean or up to any sort of health code.” You said taking a few deep breaths. 

“Shuri, I told Miss. y/ln that I would ask you to talk through what your plan was for today. I believe it might be beneficial for her to know exact how you plan on removing the chip. That way she knows what to expect and we can minimise the stress.” Ayo said

“I believe that would be good idea as well. The less stress the better I say.” Bruce chimed in finally turning around to face all of you. 

“Of course I can go over my plan with you. Why don’t you take a seat here on this bed. I’ll show you exactly what I plan on doing explaining each step. Then we can begin to check your vitals and everything else. While we are doing that I can send someone to go and get Sergeant Barnes from your room. Then we can begin. How does that sound?” Shuri asked as she led you towards the medical bed. It was very different to the one when you first got the chip. It wasn’t a steel bed with a poor excuse for a pillow but one of those fancy ones that had a mat on it and a raised pillow for your head. You took a seat on the bed. 

“Yeah, that would be great.” You said. Shuri grabbed a tablet from a side table and sat next to you. She pulled up a digram and began to show how they were going to make an incision along your scar they would then locate the chip. Shuri and Bruce will then use a new device they make sure that the chip is deactivated. They will then remove it. They will then take a scan to make sure they got the whole chip along with any other material. Once that’s done they will use the controlling device to activate it and check if you were still under control. Once they are sure you are no longer under control they will close the incision and that will be that. 

“Wait… so you are saying I’ll be awake?” You asked looking at Shuri. 

“Yes, it’s the only way to make sure that we get everything. This way we don’t have to do another procedure later.” Shuri said. 

“Ok… that makes sense. Will it hurt?” You asked 

“No, I’ll make sure to numb the whole area. If at any point you feel any discomfort let me know and I’ll stop and give you more.” She smiled

Taking another deep breath you looked back down at the diagram she had shown you. Your hand traveled up to the back of your neck and your fingers ghosted over the jagged scar that ran along it before you took your necklace in your hand and fiddled with the locket. “Ok, then I guess we better get started with checking my vitals and everything” you said looking back at Shuri. 

“Alright then, let’s get started. Ayo, would you go and bring Sergeant Barnes here then. Dr. Banner are you ready to begin the checks while I prepare all the tools we will be needing for the removal?” Shuri asked getting off the table and turning to the two other people in the room. 

“Of course, I will be right back” Ayo said 

“Yes, I can get started with all the pre checks” Bruce said. He came towards you and gave you a small smile. 

“I’m just going to take your heart rate and blood pressure to start with. We need to make sure you’re as calm as possible. Just focus on your breathing, take long deep breaths and hold it in for a bit before letting it out.” Bruce said as you wrapped the blood pressure device around your arm. You did what he suggested and focused on your breathing.  The device around your arm squeezed as it took note of your blood pressure. Once it beeped you watched Bruce read the results. 

“Well good news is your blood pressure is absolutely fine. But your heart rate is slightly elevated. We need to bring it down just a bit before we begin.” Bruce said looking at you over his glasses 

“I promise I’m really trying to focus on my breathing” you replied. 

“I know, it’s not too bad. But I would prefer it to be a little lower. So tell me, once you have this device what do you plan on doing?” He asked you

“Sorry?” You asked confused by the question 

“Well, you’ve had that thing in your head for a long time. So I was wondering what you wanted to do with your freedom” he clarified 

“I… guess try and have a semi normal life? Maybe see if I can use the abilities I have been given to do some good. Do all the things James and I used to do or say that we would do one day.” You said 

“Like what?” Bruce asked, you didn’t notice he had started to slowly take off the device.

“We used to go to Coney Island a lot. You know go on the rides and he would win me a bear or something. I always wanted to travel and see the world. Maybe I could finally do that.” You said just now realised he had taken the device off your arm. “Uhh… why did you take that off?” You asked 

“Your heart rate came down, so we can move on to getting you he sensors placed.” He replied 

“How…” you began to ask

“How did your heart rate come down? It’s a trick I picked up from Nat. She helped me a lot with the whole … Hulk thing. She suggested that I should focus on something that made me happy or something to look forward to and that will help with my heart rate. I figured that it I distressed you from focusing on your heart rate then it would come down on it’s own.” He smiled at you and you couldn’t help but smile back. Bruce had such a warm and calming presence it was no wonder he was able to help you bring down your heart rate. Just then you heard the doors open and you saw Ayo walk back in with James following close behind her, he looked like he had just literally just rolled out of bed, his hair was a mess and he was wearing his pyjamas with a hoodie thrown on top. When he saw you he gave you a lopsided smile and quickly hoped down the steps and gave you a kiss on the forehead. 

“Why didn’t you wake me. I woke up and you weren’t there.” He said in a low whisper. 

“You looked so peaceful. Plus Ayo said she would come back and get you a little later anyway.” You said leaning your forehead to his. He leaned into your forehead and sighed taking your hand in his and giving it a squeeze. 

“Still I wished you would have woken me. I would have come along.” He said sitting down next to you on the bed and wrapping his arm around your shoulder and bringing you in close to his side. You leaned into his side and looked over at Shuri, Bruce and Ayo who were staring at the two of you. Ayo gave you a small smile and nodded. 

“And what would have you done then James? Sit and watch while Shuri and Bruce ran their final checks and tests? You would probably gotten in the way and gotten in the way.” You replied. James chuckled at your response knowing full well that definitely would have been the case.

“Well, I am all ready here now. We can start whenever you are ready y/n. Sergeant Barnes you can take a seat here and hold her hand and talk to her if you want.” Shuri said pushing a chair to the front end of bed before pushing a tray of tools and pushing it to the side of the bed. James turned to look at you and you gave him a quick nod, he got up and took the seat Shuri had indicated to him. “Y/n would you please lie face down here, you can lay your face on this pillow here and look through the gap here and rest your arms on the armrests under the table. Once you are comfortable we will get started” she smiled. 

You took a few deep breaths and nodded before laying face first onto the bed. You decided to keep your eyes closed and you felt James’s warm hand slip into yours. 

“I’ll be right by your side the whole time Turtledove. Squeeze my hand as hard as you need to I can take it.” James spoke softly in your ear. 

“Alright we are ready to begin. Sergeant Barnes would you mind just moving a little bit to the side so we can have a bit more light to work with.” Shuri asked nicely

“Yeah sure” James replied and you felt him shift to the side.

“Ok y/n I am going to begin with disinfecting the area, so this might be a little cool.” Bruce said before you felt a cool spray on your neck before a cloth wiped along your whole neck. “Alright you might fell a little sting now, I’m going to numb the area now with several injections. Please stay as still as possible now for me.” Shuri said. You felt a needle enter your neck and squeezed James’s hand in response. His thumb drew soothing circles on the back of your hand as Shuri continued to inject the numbing stuff into your neck. You could actually feel your neck and the base of your skull starting to grow numb. You continued to focus on your breathing. 

“James?” You asked 

“Yes my dove?” He asked 

“Could… could you tell me a story to distract me? Or just talk to me so I don’t have to focus on the fact that Shuri is about to cut open my neck.” You asked

“Of course. You know I’m not much of a story teller but how about I tell you about all the things I want to do with you once Shuri and Bruce get that thing out of your neck” James replied.

“Hmmm… yeah that sounds good” you replied 

“Got big plans do you?” Bruce asked from somewhere.

“Oh yeah big plans. We are going to go to Coney Island and win you one of those huge stuffed animals in one of those rigged shooting games.” James replied, you could tell he was smiling by the tone of his voice.

“Really? Coney Island Barnes. That’s the best you got? You haven’t been out on a proper date with her in decades and you are taking here there?” Bruce said 

“Hey it’s a tradition of ours” you joked 

“No… I think Dr. Banner is right” said Shuri “you need to better than that. Take her somewhere special … like Disneyland” Shuri said.

“What is it with you and your obsession with Disneyland?” You heard Okoye say from somewhere 

“It is the happiest place on earth! Plus they have loads of cool rides. Ok I have numbed the area now and I am going to make an incision along your scar, it will be a little longer but it is necessary to ensure that I don’t miss anything.” Shuri retorted before explaining the next step. 

“Disneyland sounds nice” you said “Plus I think people would get suspicious at how good you are at those rigged shooting games, they might think you are cheating.” You joked 

You heard James chuckle “Alright Disneyland it is then” he replied.

“What else are we going to do?” You asked as you felt a slight pressure on the back of your neck.

“I’m going to show you all my favourite spots here in Wakanda. I have never seen a prettier sunset than the ones I have seen here.” James said

“And your goats?” You asked

“Yes, I’ll show you my goats” he replied 

“Alright. I have made the incision and going to do a quick scan to locate the device and then remove it” you heard Shuri speak. “Dr. Banner would you get the scanner for me?”

“You know what else I want to do once you are free?” James asked you.

“No? What?” You asked.

“Find a place of our own. Move in together, away from the compound and begin a new life.” James said

“I like the sound of that. Maybe we could even get a pet from a rescue centre” you said 

“Anything you want turtledove”

“What about working with the Avengers? And me getting cleared and all that?” You asked.

“We can still do all that. I’ll talk to Tony when we get back. See if we can do all of this and not live on the compound.” James said. 

Just then you felt pressure in your neck and you squeezed James’s hand and yelped as you felt a spark run down your back. “Ouch!” You spoke through gritted teeth.

“Woah watch it” James said 

“Sorry. It seems that the device is reacting to us trying to remove it” Shuri said

“Yeah… it shocked me. I thought the device was off?” You spoke 

“It is off. But it seems that it reacts to my tweezers removing it.” Shuri said.

“What are they made of? The tweezers” you asked

��Metal why?” Shuri asked

“Maybe it’s like a magnet or a something with a electronic charge. If something metal touches it it sends out a zap” you said.

“Like that game operation?” Bruce asked 

“Huh?” You and James asked in unison.

“It’s a children’s game where you use tweezers to remove different plastic body parts from the board without touching the metal edges. If you touch the edges the board makes a loud noise and the tweezers are zapped.” Bruce said 

“So what are you saying? I can’t use my tweezers to remove it? What do want me to use? My hands?” Shuri asked

“That’s what the Hydra scientists did. They just shoved it in my neck with their fingers” you said 

“Or.. you could use tweezers that are not made of metal or figure out how to demagnetise the device” Bruce said 

“Well I do have have silicone coated tweezers. They should be able to do the trick” Shuri said 

“As long as I don’t get zapped again let’s give it a go.” You replied.

“Alright. Here I go.” She said you felt some light pressure inside your neck and something being pulled out. “Got it” Shuri said.

“Seriously? It is out?” James asked. “That tiny little circle is what was controlling her.” He said.

“Yup this little thing had the ability to control her by sending some kind of electronic impulses through the nervous system” Shuri said. 

“But we are not done yet. We need to activate the chip and see if there is still anything controlling y/n” Bruce said 

“Ok go for it” you said 

“Ok 1,2,3 and we have activated the device. How are you feeling?” Shuri asked 

“I feel fine. Nothing different. No loss of control or feeling like I’m in the backseat of my head. Ask me to do something?” You said 

“Strix? Are you ready to take orders” Shuri asked. You smiled there was no pulsing running through your neck, no fogginess in your brain and you could feel every part of your body. You had complete control of your body.

“Sorry, Strix is not here anymore. You could leave a message but don’t expect a return call because Strix is gone.” You said. A few seconds later you realised what you had said, and the fact that you could feel every part of your body and your thoughts hit you. You were free and you began to cry. 

“Shuri? Does this mean it worked? Am I finally free?” You asked through tears.  

“I believe so y/n. Let me just do a quick scan to make sure.” Shuri said and after a minute she responded “it looks all good. No signs of any form of activity. Nothing left there from the chip. I’ll just close you up and then dress the wound and you will be good to go. Though I would suggest spending the rest of the day relaxing and not doing any strenuous activity” Shuri said as she began to stitch up the wound and dress it. 

“You did it Turtledove, you did so well. I’m so happy for you” James said as he gave your hand a tight squeeze. 

“All right I want you to sit up very slowly for me. You might feel a little dizzy now.” Shuri said and James helped you sit up and he sat next to you wrapping his arm around you. You slowly blinked and looked around the room.  You did feel a little dizzy so you leaned against James and closed your eyes. 

“Perhaps it would be best if you didn’t walk right now. I can get you one of our hover beds to bring you back to your room.” Shuri said

“I don’t mind carrying her” James said as he softly scooped you up in his arms. 

“Alright I then Okoye would you show Sergeant Barnes back to their room please. And Sergeant Barnes make sure she rests for the rest of the day. I’ll come by this evening to check on her to back sure everything is ok. 

ONE WEEK LATER

BUCKY POV

“Hurry up James! Nat and Steve will be arriving soon and I want to meet them when their jet arrives!” Y/n yelled through the bathroom door. Bucky was staring at himself in the mirror and smiled. It has been a week since the chip had been removed and y/n had been so happy. She also hadn’t had anymore nightmares. The team had been waiting patiently to come for a visit, but they had both agreed to wait a bit and only have Nat and Steve visit first. Plus there was something he needed to talk to Steve about first, something that he had been planning on doing for a very long time. 

 “Coming” he called as he quickly washed his hands and left the bathroom. He took her hand in his and they both headed to meet the jet.

“Nat!!!” Y/n yelled as she ran up to meet the red head who was walking off the jet. The two of them gave each other a huge hug and were talking excitedly and so fast that Bucky had no idea what they were talking about. He walked over to Steve him a big hug and whispered in his ear.

“When we get a chance I need to talk to you alone away from our girls” 

“Everything ok?” Steve whispered back

“More than, I just need your help with something” Bucky said. 

“And what exactly are the two of you talking about over there?” Nat asked 

“Just making plans on having a chat away from the two of you.” Steve said.

“But I thought we were going to spend the whole day together?” Nat said

“It’s ok Nat. I’ll show you around, plus Shuri wanted to show you somethings. Also I wanted to spend the morning with you” y/n said. 

“That sounds like a great idea. Why don’t you two go and spend the morning together and then we can all meet up for lunch a little later.” Steve replied.

“Alright, we will catch up with you two later then.” Nat said giving Steve a quick kiss on the check before the two of them headed off to find Shuri. Once they were out of earshot Steve turned to face Bucky.

“Alright Buck, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?” Steve asked.

“I’m going to ask her to marry me and I’m going to need your help to do it.” Bucky said

Turtledove - Chapter 18

Ch. 17

AN: I got really stuck on how I wanted this chapter and how the rest of the fic to go. I had so many ideas of what I wanted to do but realised that this fic was already quite long and what I wanted to happen would not make sense in how I set up the timeline (nothing major is going to change, I had plans to include the Infinity War and Endgame events but alas I couldn't make it fit, so I have put those plans aside and might use those for a fic in the future). I have also started a new job so I don't have as much time, but now that I am used to the hours and know what I want to happen I hope to have this fic done soon. I plan on having 2 or 3 more chapters.

Y/N POV 

“You all ready to go?” James asked coming into the kitchen with his duffle bag slung over his shoulder. Nat and you were sitting in the kitchen having breakfast when he came around the corner.

“Yeah. Is it time already?” You asked finishing up your hot chocolate and put the mug in the dishwasher.

“Everyone else is already on the Wakandian jet. They are just waiting on us and then we are off.” James replied 

“Alright then, I guess we better get going huh. Hey next time I’ll see you Nat I won’t have this chip in me anymore and I’ll finally be free. Then you, Steve, James and I can all go on that double date” You turned to Nat giving her a hug and she squeezed back.

“Looking forward to it. See you soon ok. I’m so excited for you. Hey maybe take some time there after they get the chip out. You know to relax and get used to the idea of being free.” She said holding your shoulders in her hands and giving you a wide smile. That definitely sounded like a good idea, taking some time to finally relax and take time to process everything that has happened to you and the fact that you are finally free was exactly what you needed. 

James and you then left the kitchen and headed to the landing strip you had arrived at.  You saw a sleek black jet that looked a lot more elegant and streamlined than the one you arrived on. This one was also huge, and there was a low hum coming from the engine. You stood in awe at the jet… well really it was more of a cargo plane due to its size.

“You ready Turtledove? Come on, let’s go and get that chip out of your neck.” James said placing a kiss on your forehead and pulled you into side wrapping his right arm over your shoulder. He led you towards the plane and the two of you climbed the stairs together. Shuri was there to great you along with Bruce who was looking around the interior of the plan in awe. 

“Morning you two. Now grab a seat, I would like to get in the air soon.” Shuri smiled at the two of you as you entered the jet, she pointed to some rows of seats behind her.  James took your hand in his and the two of you headed to the seats and sat down. Shuri went to the front of the jet, Bruce took a seat behind you and you saw T’Challa sitting in a seat on the row across from you.

“So … who flies this thing?” You asked James. James was about to reply when T’Challa cut in.

“That would be my sister and Ayo. But don’t worry they are very skilled pilots, plus the plane could fly itself if we wanted it to. Though I think my sister prefers to fly it herself.” T’Challa 

“I think I would prefer it if she did… the idea of this thing flying its self. Unless you want the big guy to make an appearance and for all of us to fall out of the sky.” Bruce speaks from the seat behind the two of you.  Just then you heard the engines of of the plane start up and begin to move. James reached for your hand and held it in his.

“You ok there dove?” He whispered in your ear. Giving his hand a squeeze you nodded your head then rested it on his shoulder.

“Yeah I’m ok. Just can’t believe that I’m so close to getting this chip out of me.” You replied

“You know, I think Natasha was right. Maybe after Shuri gets it out we can stay in Wakanda for a bit. My time there played a huge part in my recovery and acceptance of what happened. I’m sure that T’Challa will be more than happy to let us stay.” James spoke turning to face T’Challa.

“Of course Sergeant Barnes. Also I think my mother would would be upset with me if I didn’t extend an invitation for you all to stay a while. When she found out I was going to see you she told me that you better visit soon.” T’Challa spoke.

The plane took off with ease and you closed your eyes as the the plane sped into the air. The rush of the plane caused you to lean back in your seat and squeeze James’s hand. Your eyes stayed shut until you felt the plane level out. Looking out the window all you saw was clouds, it had been a very misty morning and it looked like it was going to rain. The thought of it raining brought back a memory from a long time ago.

Flashback New Your 1936 - One Year Anniversary 

Stepping out of the movie theatre James linked his arm around yours and the two of you started to walk towards your apartment. You leaned your head into his shoulder and took in a deep breath, he smelled like his old leather jacket and a mix of wood and roses from his cologne.  You took in a deep breath taking in the smell and smiled into his neck. Spending a Saturday afternoon with James was exactly what you needed after the week you had. You looked up at him as the two of you walked down the street he returned your gaze and grinned before placing a small kiss on your forehead.

“Have a good time today dove?” He asked

“The best” you responded. Just then you felt a small drop of water land on your forehead, you looked up to see gathering rain clouds and the sky suddenly got very dark. In a split second, before either of you could register it the skies opened up and it began to pour. Thick drops of warm summer rain began to hit the pavement and the two of you. James moved his arm out from your elbow and grabbed your hand as he began to run down the street looking for a place to take cover from the rain, neither of you had thought to bring an umbrella as the weather had looked so lovely that morning.

James pulled you under an awning of an ice cream place and brushed your wet hair out of your face and smiled at you. 

“So, love what do you say should we have some ice cream while we wait for this rain to stop?”

End of flashback 

“Y/n? You ok?” James spoke into your ear

“Huh? Yeah I’m good” you replied

“You kind of spaced out on me there. Where did you go?” James asked taking your hand and giving it a squeeze.

“Yeah, I was just thinking about that time we got caught in the rain and had to sit in that ice cream place until it stopped”  you replied turning back to him.

“Oh… yeah I remember that day. We got soaked” he laughed 

“Everything was so simple then, I was just starting my degree in nursing. You were working and not even thinking about joining up for the army. The war and everything that came with it was not even on our radar.” You said leaning against his shoulder.

“I know exactly what you mean. But I think we have both learned that life is not always as it seems and that it doesn’t always go the way we plan. But soon you will have that chip out of your neck. And then we can begin again, start new and try for a new life here” James replied.

“Wait … you were training to be a nurse?” Bruce said leaning forward. 

“Yeah, I’m actually fully qualified.” You said turning to face Bruce

“Wow, so what made you want to become a nurse?” Bruce asked 

“I always wanted to help people. And becoming a nurse was the best option then” you replied 

“So is that what you did then, during the war?” Bruce asked.

“In the beginning yeah, then I helped out Howard Struck along with some of the other scientists to try and recreate the serum… until well the explosion” you replied. The memory of that night came back to you again and you remember the feeling of being thrown across the room and your back hitting the wall.  James took your hand in his and brought it up to his lips and gave it a quick kiss.

“Oh… before I forget. Tony asked me to give you this file. He said it is some information on your friend.” Bruce said reaching through the seats and gave you a pale folder with some papers in it.

“Thanks” you said taking it from him.

“Who did you asked Tony to look into?” James said as you turned back and opened it up.

“Lilly” you replied 

“Your roommate and friend from work?” James asked

“Yeah, ever since I got away from … you know. I always wondered what happened to her.” You said ask you opened up the file. As you read through it you saw everything that she accomplished, she became the head nurse at the hospital, married a lawyer and had two children. A girl and a boy.  She had named her daughter after you. She had three grandchildren. Her grand daughter lived in New York and worked as a doctor in the ER. She had passed away at the age of 86 just 3 months after her husband passed away. There were photos from through out her life that Tony had managed to find. As your read the file you tried to hold back the tears but you couldn’t after a while when you saw a picture of her whole family together. She looked so happy, she had lived a full life and had done everything she had ever wanted to do. She even got to travel the world. 

“You ok dove?” James asked

“Yeah, I’m just happy that she got to do everything she wanted. I just wish I could have seen her again. But maybe I could contact her granddaughter that lives in New York when we get back. She became a doctor in the ER.”  You said as you wiped the tears from your eyes. You handed the file to him so he could look at it.

“She named her daughter after you? That is … wow.” James said as he closed the file and placing it in the seat pocket in front of you. He pulled you into his side and held you.  You stayed in his arms for the rest of the flight. 

“We will be entering our airspace in a few minutes and landing shortly after that.” Shuri said over the monitor.

“Take a look out of your windows y/n and Bruce. Something tells me that you will really like the view.” T’Challa said from his seat. You looked out the window and the view took your breath away. It was stunning, the valley was a wash of colour, their were large mountains covered in beautiful forests and the buildings were a mix of modern and traditional. There were wide open spaces and you could see animals running around. 

“Wow, it’s beautiful” you said turning back to T’Challa 

“I can understand why you keep the true beauty of Wakanda hidden, along with the vibranium you have this must be one of the last places in Africa that has wildlife roaming free without the threat of being poached” Bruce said 

“We do pride ourselves in our conservation efforts.” T’Challa said. “Perhaps after you have the chip removed I could give you all a tour and show you all the beauty that Wakanda has to offer.” T’Challa said as the jet landed.  Once they had taxied and parked they all got up from their seats and got off the plane. As you got off the plane your breath was taken away once again. There were more women lined up in the same clothes that Ayo was wearing and a beautiful women dressed in white with a beautiful white head piece, you guessed that must be T’Challa’s and Shuri’s mother.

“Welcome back to Wakanda Sergeant Barnes. This must be y/n y/ln and Dr. Bruce Banner. Welcome to Wakanda, I hope your journey here was smooth” she said.

“It was thank you. It is also lovely to see you again Queen Ramonda” James said nodding politely to her. 

“Y/n, Bruce this is my mother Queen Ramonda.” T’Challa said coming up from behind and giving his mother a hug.

“I hope you don’t mind, I have the Dora Milaje here, it is just a precaution as Shuri has informed me of the situation and I just want to make sure that we all stay safe” she said gesturing towards the women all dressed the same as Ayo. 

“I completely understand. You need to protect your people from anyone that could cause harm. I would like to thank you for allowing me to come here to have a chance to be free from this chip that has been controlling me.” You said 

“Of course, we are more than happy to help. Shuri and Ayo were successful with deprograming of Sergeant Barnes. So if we can do that again that means one less threat out in the world being controlled by the wrong people. Now we will be having dinner in a few hours. I will have a few of the Dora Milaje escort you to your room so you can get settled in.” Queen Ramonda said as she nodded towards a few of the Dora and they stepped forward and escorted you, James and Bruce towards your rooms. 

As you stepped into the room they had prepared for you and you sat on the bed and took a deep breath. James sat down next you.

“You ok?” He asked

“Yeah, I am. I’m almost free and I get to see the place where you got to recover and be freed as well. Everything is coming into place.” You said leaning into his side. 

“Once you have that chip out of your head, I’m going to show you the lake I sat at after they deprogrammed me. It was a place that I was able to really think about everything and relax.” He replied wrapping his arm around you and rubbing your arm. 

“And your goats?” You asked 

“And my goats” he laughed 

There was a knock at your door and you got up to open it. Shuri was standing there with a big smile on her face.

“So do you want the good news?” She asked

“Uhh… yes?” You asked looking back at James

“As we were flying over here, I was talking through my plan with Ayo. I just went over it with Bruce just now and our doctors here as well. And we have a plan to get that chip out of you safely and along with all the programming that comes with it. We can do it tomorrow.” Shuri said.

“Seriously? You mean I could be free by the end of the day tomorrow” you reply not believing what you were hearing.

“You will be free by lunch time tomorrow. But recovery will take a bit so you will have to stay in your medical area over night just to be sure. But yes by end of day tomorrow you will be free.” Shuri smiled.

James came up from behind you and gave Shuri a huge hug. “Thank you Shuri.” He said as he let her go.

“Of course, now I was also sent over to let you know that we will be having dinner in a short while. I will be back then to escort to the dinner.” Shuri said before saying goodbye to the two of you and heading back to her lab to go over he plans for the morning. You closed the door and turned back to James.

“I can’t believe it. I’m going to be free, like actually free tomorrow.” You said. He pulled you into his arms and spun you around. And kissing your neck as he placed you back down on the ground.

“Neither can I turtledove. Why don’t we freshen up before dinner?” He said “Maybe… take a shower together?” He said his voice dropping a little into a husky whisper as his hands traveled up under your shirt and his thumbs skimmed over your sides.

“I like the way you think” as your hand landed on his chest and pulled out his dog tags and tugged him towards you and your lips crashed together.

Almost kisses and a stolen kiss

4 times Dream almost kissed y/n and the one time he did

Word Count: 3,732

Warnings: Pure fluff, Dream being Dream, Dream and reader are both idiots, Dream be is an ass in part 4 (but we love him 😂)

In the Garden - Dream POV

“I thought I might find you here. You know I can grow those just with a thought and a swish of my hand right?” Dream said as he walked toward y/n tending to some flowers.

“I know. But where is the fun in that? Plus I like how calming it is” she said standing up and brushing the dirt off her hands onto her trousers. “Also this way I feel like I’ve left my mark here when I’m not visiting.” She smiled up at him.

“You are one strange being. How did you manage to get dirt on your nose?” He spoke walking towards her. How was it possible she looked so beautiful without even trying? She was one of the most caring people he had ever met. And when she came for a visit to the Dreaming his day was always better.

“I got dirt on my nose? Haha that must have happened when I sneezed earlier” she tried to rub it off with her hands, but she only made it worse. “Did I get it?” She had such a bright smile that reached her eyes. He couldn’t help but smile back at her.

“Not in the slightest. You are only making it worse. Here let me.” He walked towards her and retrieved a tissue from his pocket and wiped the dirt off her nose. He looked down at her. He was leaning in toward her hand now resting on the side of her face when Jessemay came swooping in calling out.

“Sir, sorry to bother you but Luciene needs you for something” called the Raven as she landed on Dream’s shoulder. Dream held back a sigh and stepped away from her.

“Go, we can catch up later” she smiled giving him a little nudge in the shoulder.

“I will see you soon then” he spoke in a soft voice before turning around and heading back to the palace.

In the Library - Y/N POV

You were walking down one of the long aisles of books in the library. You ran your fingers along the spines of the books looking at the titles. The books along this aisle were poetry books and play scripts, smiling at the titles that you recognised. You suddenly felt a shift in the air behind you and you smiled. You turned around to find Dream standing behind you, arms crossed behind is back with a fraction of a smile ghost across his lips.

“It’s getting harder to sneak up on you” he spoke walking closer to you, looking at the books on the shelf your hand was resting on.

“Well maybe you just need to try a little harder” you joked leaning against the book shelf with your shoulder looking up at him.

“Maybe. Or maybe I don’t want to” he spoke softly and picking a small book of the shelf just above your head. He was leaning forward. So he was leaning over you. He pulled a way just as quickly once had the book.

“Have you read this one?” He asked revealing the title. ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ one of Shakespeare’s comedies. You had read it, countless of times

“I have. It’s probably one of my favourites of his” you reply

“You know. I met the Bard before he became the Bard. When I met him he went by a different name” he responded flipping through the small book.

“You did? When was that?” You ask moving away from the bookshelf and walking towards Dream who had taken a few steps back.

“I met him on one of my earlier visits with Hob Gadling. I over heard him talking about how he wanted to be a famous playwright. I spoke with him and granted him his wish” he spoke handing your the small book.

“You mean to tell me you are the reason the world got William Shakespeare? You really do have soft spot for the arts and artists” you replied, after all this time of visiting the Dreaming and your conversations with Dream he was still able to surprise you.

“Artist, writers and musicians… they are all dreamers. And I as King of Dreams do like to keep an eye on them and see if they need some motivation” he replied. He closed the gap between the the two of you. He tucked a stray hair behind your ear and looked into your eyes.

“Dream… I…” you spoke softly

Lucienne came around the corner.

“My lord, Merv is here and he has a few things to report… oh..” she spoke. Dream pulled away in an instant his facial expression changing just as quickly.

“Of course. I asked him to check something for me” he gave you a slight nod and he followed Lucienne to go and speak to Merv. You watched as he turned around the corner. You let out a breath you that you had been holding. What was that… was Dream about to … no he wasn’t…. was he?

In Fiddler Green’s - Dream POV

Dream found her lying in the grass looking up at the sky and the clouds. He was perplexed at how she could just lie there and not do anything.

“What are you doing?” He asked as he stood next her looking down.

“Watching the clouds. What does it looking like I’m doing. Come join me for a bit.” She spoke looking up at him.

“I don’t know if that’s such a good idea” he spoke.

“Oh come on, don’t tell me you can’t take just one afternoon or a few hours off from your duties of Lord of Dreams and Nightmares” she sat up a little resting on her elbows. “Please, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Just take a look at what you’ve created” she begged. Her eyes were so sweet and kind. He couldn’t say no to her.

“Maybe a few minutes” he sat down next to her and smiled

“How are you going to watch the clouds if you don’t lie down and look up at them” she lay back down pulling him with her.

“So you just lie here and look at the coulds? Why?” He asked settling down next to her. Looking up at the clouds

“It’s calming plus sometimes they actually look like shapes. Like that one there almost looks like Merv’s head. And that one looks like a raven feather.” She said pointing out at the clouds as they slowly floated by. He turned his head to look at her and she had the widest smile on her face. That gave him an idea, he turned his attention back to the clouds, there was one that was just a big blob and with a small thought he turned it into a sheep.

“Hey that one looks like a little sheep” she spoke with a giggle. He turned his attention to the next cloud and turned it into a four leaf clover.

“That one looks exactly like a four leaf clover. Wait … are you doing this?” She turned to look at him.

“What is that not allowed?” He said turning his face to look at her.

“No, you are supposed to use your imagination to try and figure what the look like” she laughed nudging him with her shoulder

“Well I was! I was using my imagination to make the clouds” he nudged her back. “Are you mad?” He asked in a serious tone

“I could never be mad at you. It’s sweet and kind. Thank you” she replied turning on her side to face him better and resting her chin in her hand and looked into his eyes.

He leaned up and forward to meet her eye level. And looked right into her eyes. “I’d do anything to make you smile. I don’t think I could ever take you being mad at me.” He spoke softly his eyes looked down at her lips for the briefest second then he sat up and slowly stood up. He reached his hand down to help her stand up.

“I better be off now. Lots of dreamers to attend to. Do you need help getting up?” He asked

“No I’m ok. I think I’ll stay here for a little while. I’ll see you later” she smiled lying back and looking back at the clouds. He looked up the clouds one last time and created a cloud that looked like a dog. He heard her laugh out loud as he was walked away. Her laugh was so infectious and couldn’t help chuckle to himself as he left her lying in the grass.

By his throne - Y/N POV

You walked into his main hall looking for Dream. You hadn’t seen him in a while and missed the little chats you had. You found him sitting on his throne talking to Merv. Your footsteps echoed in the vast hall giving away your arrival, catching the attention of both of them.

“Y/n! Long time no see.” Merv greeted you as he hopped down the stairs and gave you a hug.

“Good to see you too Merv. How have you been?”

“Oh you know. Can’t complain, I’ve been good. Busy but I like to keep busy. How have you been?” Merv asked

“I’ve been good. I’ve spent some time in the Waking world. I feel they are the brink of of success or chaos. I fear it is leaning more towards chaos. So I thought I would swing by a visit to see some old friends” you smiled

“Well I sure hope they don’t cause any chaos. Anyway I better be off lots to do” He turned and did a quick bow to Dream and he headed out the main hall.

Dream was still sitting on his throne looking down at you. You felt a small shiver run down your spine, his gaze was so piercing and held so much emotion in them. Even after all this time you still were unable to read him.

“It’s been a while since your last visit” he spoke from where he sat.

“I know. Like I told Merv, I’ve been busy watching the mortals. Don’t tell me you actually missed me” you spoke as you slowly made your way up the stairs, stopping halfway up to his throne. You didn’t want to venture to far up, you knew how he was about people approaching his throne without asking.

His eyebrows raised slightly at your last comment. “Merv clearly did. Lucienne also did along with some the other dreams. Your little garden did as well. Don’t worry I made sure none of your plants suffered.” He spoke as he stood up and made his way down the stairs and stopped a few above you. He looked down at you with those deep eyes that never gave anything away.

“You know you didn’t actually answer my question” you teased

“I didn’t hear a question in your statement” he responded in low tone taking a step closer to you. Your breath hitched in your throat.

“Did you miss me?” You asked looking up at him.

“Your absence was noted.” He responded taking one more step down so he was one the step above you. You didn’t know what you were expecting from his answer but his answer upset you a little. You took a couple of deep breaths.

“How have been Dream? You create any new dreams or nightmares lately?” You asked trying to move past your slight disappointment.

“There is a dream I have been creating… but it is not ready to be seen by anyone yet.” He responded never taking his eyes off you. You could have sworn his eyes darted to your lips for the briefest second.

“Oh come on Dream. You always used to show me what you were working on.” You teased

“Not this time. It’s not ready” he responded in a sharp tone.

“Aww come on. Can’t you give me a hint at least. Your creations are always so beautiful” you begged.

“No” he spoke his tone almost scaring you. You furrowed your eyebrows he had never spoken to you like that before.

“What has your cloak in a twist today Dream” you joked nudging his arm slightly. The second you did that you knew it had been a mistake. The temperature in the room plummeted and his eyes turned dark.

“I said NO. I would appreciate it if you dropped the subject. Why do you feel the need to push into others business.” He spoke in a cold voice taking a step down to look at you face to face. You took a step down to get away from his cold presence.

“I apologise Dream. I’ll drop it…” you tried to keep your voice calm.

“It is not just about my creations!” His voice boomed “You visit my realm whenever you see fit! You drop in whenever unannounced and without invitation.” He kept taking steps towards you and you kept taking steps backwards. He was growing taller and his face had grown dark. This was the nightmare side of him. The side he reserved when creating nightmares and visiting peoples nightmares, you had never seen it before and you were terrified.

“Dream… you’re scaring me” you spoke

“I am Lord Morpheus and you will address me as such! And you will never come back to my realm. Do you understand?” His voice boomed off the walls.

“You want me to leave and never come back? Fine” you spun around and began to walk out of the hall you stopped halfway and spun back around. “It was a pleasure visiting your realm Lord Morpheus. If it is not to much trouble could you say my goodbyes to the dreams and Luciene for me. I wish nothing but happiness for you Lord Morpheus. I apologise again for my over stepping” you bowed to him and turned back and walked out. You tried your hardest not to cry until you had left the palace and out of earshot of Dream. You made it across the bridge and out of the main gates before you broke down in tears.

Watching the Night Sky - Dream POV

He had finally gotten all his tools back, the dreams and nightmares were back in the Dreaming, rebuilt the Dreaming and had taken care of the Vortex. Now his next stop was to find y/n and see if she would accept his apology. He had been cruel to her last they spoke. He wouldn’t blame her if she completely ignored him or yelled at him. Lucienne had agreed to help him track her down mainly because Lucienne was pissed at him when she found out he had basically thrown her out of the Dreaming. They found her in the Waking world and now he was going to apologise for everything.

He found her sitting on top of a large pile of boulders looking up at the stars. He slowly walked up to her and made his way up the pile. He stood on the boulder next her and looked down at her not knowing what to say.

“You still need to work on the sneaking up on me Lord Morpheus. Though it has been a little over 100 years so I’ll leave this attempt up to lack of practice. ” she spoke in a cool tone not taking her eyes off the sky.

“Lord Morpheus? Not Dream?” He spoke quietly

A shooting star crossed the sky. “Did you know mortals make wishes on shooting stars? Last time we spoke you made it pretty clear I should address you as such” she spat still not meeting his gaze watching the star cross the sky.

“And I have come to apologise for my behaviour… I acted unfairly…” he began but she cut him off.

“Apologise? The King of Dreams and Nightmares has come to apologise for his behaviour.” She turned to look at him as she spoke. Her face dropped when she turned to him. “What has … what happened to you? Not to speak out of turn and risking your anger again … but you look awful, like you haven’t slept in years” she asked with a nervous look in her eyes.

“Not long after we last spoke, when I told you leave my realm. One of my nightmares, the Corinthian left my realm and refused to come back. I went to the Waking world to bring him back and I was captured by a mortal who saw him self as a sorcerer of sorts. He stole my symbols of power and said he would free me when I gave him what he wanted. He held me captive and when he died his son still held me captive” he replied. As he spoke she slowly stood up and fully faced him. She slowly lifted her hand and reached up to his face and placed in on his cheek.

“How long did they hold you?” She asked looking into his eyes. He leaned into her touch breathing in a deep breath and taking comfort in the small contact.

“100 years, I was kept in that glass sphere for 100 years” he replied.

“How did you get away?” She asked looking at him in his eyes, but turned his head and looked away from her.

“Paul the husband of the sorcerer’s son, he wiped away part of the rune circle that was on the floor. I think he might have done so on purpose. It was enough to allow me to escape.” He said looking at the stars. “Do you wish for anything when you see a shooting star” turning back to face her.

“I do, but don’t ask what because I can’t tell you. Then the wish wouldn’t come true” she answered with a slight twinkle in her eyes. “Now that your free what are your plans? I assume you would want to get your symbols back and return to the Dreaming.” She said turning her attention back to the sky, she sounded a little sad.

“For 100 years the only thing that kept me from losing my mind was my goal to get my symbols of power and finding you and doing three things. I would have sooner after getting my symbols of power but I had to take care of The Vortex and begin to rebuild the Dreaming.” He said never taking his eyes off her profile

“There was a Vortex?” She spun back around. “And now you’ve dealt with that you’ve come to find me and apologise?” She asked sounding a little skeptical.

“I realise that the way I spoke to you last was cruel. You only wanted to know what I was creating. And banning you from the Dreaming was harsh of me. I know how much you loved … love visiting my realm” he spoke

“And I apologise for always stopping by with out asking” she cut in

“Still, I never should have lashed out. I never said anything about it. The truth is I always loved your visits and my day was always better when you would visit.” He took a deep breath “I’ve learned that apologising to friends is important, though I’m still learning on how to. So, I would like to apologise for my behaviour and banning you from the Dreaming. I would also like to tell you that you are more than welcome to come to my realm whenever you like, no need to ask before visiting” he spoke looking into her eyes that were shining with tears.

“For someone who is just learning how to apologise that was a really good one. Also that’s only two things. What’s the third?” She asked

“Always the observant one aren’t you?“ he spoke stepping onto the boulder she was on cupping her face in both his hands and leaning down brushing his nose over hers before placing a light kiss on her lips. He be began to pull away to look into her eyes to judge her reaction. But before he could she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him back in and kissing him back. He moved one of his hands on the back of her head and moved the other to wrap around her waist pulling her in closer to him. He pushed his tongue against her lips she sighed and opened her lips allowing him to slip his tongue into her mouth. She responded by chuckling lightly against his lips.

He pulled away and furrowed his eyebrows together. “What’s so funny?”

“You know how I said telling what you wish for on a shooting star is bad luck? Well there are three that I would rotate through. The first one, you would realise what an asshole you were and apologise” she said placing a light kiss on his left check. “Two you would let me come back to the Dreaming” placing a second kiss on his right check.

“And the third?” He asked

“You would stop being an idiot and finally kiss me” she placed a kiss on his lips. He pulled her in close to him and returned the kiss happily. She moved one of her hands into his hair gently tugged at it and he let out a moan against her lips. He gently turned her head to the side with his hand kissed her along her jaw and then her neck. He kissed her in the same spot and sucked on there leaving a small mark on her neck. She let out a sigh and shivered a little “Dream…”

“Hmm yes.” He said with head still against her neck. “Are you cold?” He said pulling away looking down at her.

“A … a little. Yeah” she shivered.

He wrapped her up in his long coat bringing her into his chest. She wrapped her arms around him and nuzzling her head against his chest.

“Better?” He asked with a light chuckle

“Umm hmm, better” she replied giving him a little squeeze

“What you say about heading back to the Dreaming?” He asked looking down at her

“I would love that” she replied

He gave her a kiss on her forehead and took some sand out of his bag and threw it in the air. And it spun around them in a swirl and he held her close as they traveled back to his realm.

Turtledove - Chapter 17

Ch.16

“I … are you sure. I mean I guess it is possible, after everything I’ve been through my memory is a bit of a mess” you reply

“Are you sure Yelena?” Nat asked

“Yes, Natasha. I was a child, it was not long after …” Yelena replied but you interrupted her

“Wait… you are the little girl from my nightmare from two nights ago. You were crying and looking for your sister. Did you find her? What was that place? Why were there so many young girls there? Sorry for the rapid-fire questions. Ever since I had that nightmare I can’t stop thinking of that place” you spoke quickly trying to keep your breathing slow. You could feel your whole body starting to shake.

Yelena looked at you with a sad look in her eyes and then turned to Nat and grabbed her hand.

“My sister and I kind of found each other. It took almost twenty years but we did it.”

“Nat, you didn’t tell me you had a sister.” You said looking at Nat.

“We are not blood-related, but we were raised together for a part of our childhood. Part of the Russian program of having families live in American neighbourhoods until needed. I lived in fear every day that I would get sent back there.” Nat replied

“That place being?” You asked again, terrified of the answer

“That place we were in was called the Red Room, a ghost program to train young girls to be spies and assassins. As for the why lots of reasons but mainly because an asshole called Dreykov only saw young girls as tools that he could use to shape the world. He saw us as disposable. He brainwashed us and controlled us. It took one of the older widows who defected years ago to figure it out. She developed a serum to free the widows that were under that control” Yelena replied

“Wait… so you were mind controlled and you were freed a serum… Nat, were you also controlled? Why didn’t you tell me?” You asked

“No that kind of mind control wasn’t used on me. But I also didn’t know about it. I thought I took down the Red Room years ago. But Dreykov was one bastard that refused to die.” Nat replied

“I take it from the way you speaking about him in the past tense you took care of him,” James asked

“That’s where Steve and I just came from. I got a strange package from Yelena and tracked her down in Budapest and she told me that the Red Room still existed and that all the widows were still under his control. We took it down along with Dreykov and all his little minions. We also saved all the other widows, freed them from control and got them to a safe place.” Nat replied

“There’s still some out there that are still under control. I want to find them and free them. I still have some of the serum left but not enough to free them all. So we need to make more. Melina, our mum well the woman who raised us, is a scientist and is working on making more.” Yelena replied.

Your mind was racing a mile a minute. You were trying to process all this information. The Red Room was a real place, you were there at some point and by the sounds of it, the girls that were there were not there by choice. That place, that man-made so many girls disappear. How long was that program active? How many girls had been taken there? How many had lost their lives because men only saw them as less than and disposable? What did they do to those girls? Why were you there? Your mind was spinning and you could feel your heart race increasing.

“Hey, dove? Look at me, take a deep breath. It’s ok I’m right here. That’s it deep breath in and let it out.” James said in a calming voice as he grabbed your shoulders and looked directly into your eyes and did his best to try and calm you down. You could feel tears running down your face.

“They were just girls James! He took them from their homes and forced them to do who knows what. He controlled them, he took away their free will! And who knows what else he did to them. How many survived? How many girls had their childhood and lives stolen from them.” You cried you were shaking so much James had to pull you into a hug to keep you from falling down.

“Hey, I got you. It’s ok now, you heard Nat he’s dead along with all of the people working for him. It’s over that’s never going to happen to anyone else ever again. You heard Yelena, they are going to free the rest that are still out there and once Shuri gets that chip out of your neck everyone will be free.” James spoke in the same calming voice as he stroked your back. “He why don’t we all sit down and just relax for a little bit, huh? How does that sound dove?” He said looking around at the whole group.

“That sounds like a good idea. We’ve had a very hectic day so far and a lot of information in the last few minutes. I am going to my office and gather some files, I want to see if we can pinpoint when y/n was at the Red Room and if there is any information about her time there.” Tony said.

“That information might not be in those files. But when we took down the Red Room I downloaded all their data off their servers before the whole place blew up. That information goes back to the beginning, that will definitely have information on your time there” Nat replied. Tony nodded and he left the room and headed to his office.

“And I can tell you what I remember from then too. I only saw you a couple of times until you disappeared, they told me you weren’t coming back I thought you were dead or had escaped.” Yelena replied she took a seat on an armchair that was to the left of the sofa you were sitting on.

James led you to one of the sofas and sat down next to you. He never let go of you and pulled you into his chest. You lay your head on his chest listening to his heart and it calmed you down. Your tears slowed down and you borrowed yourself closer to his body and you took in a deep breath. You always felt at home in his arms, he always knew how to calm you down and what to do to make you feel better.

Nat sat down next to the two of you and looked at you. “Y/n when did you have this dream?” She asked looking at you

“Two days ago, the same day you left. It was after we had lunch. I remember training in this big room. Then a group of young girls came in they could not have been more than seven, and they began to do hand-to-hand combat training. Then I was sitting down with one of them, she was crying because she couldn’t find her sister. She was so small and she was terrified. I remember trying to protect her. Then the next thing I knew she was being pulled away from me by these guards and then other guards pulled me away because I was trying to get to her. I remember her screaming for me. I woke up after that … I don’t know what happened after that” you replied looking at Yelena as well. You still couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that the same little girl was standing in front of you now.

“They were taking me to train in a separate room. You were screaming at them to let me go. I’m pretty sure you broke one of the guard's nose with your elbow. The guard didn’t take that too well and injected you with something to knock you out. They dragged you away then” Yelena said looking at you

“Was that the last time we saw each other?” You asked

“No, I saw you a few days later. We paced each other in the hallway. You crossed the hallway and pulled me into a hug. You managed to whisper something in my ear before they pulled you away. You said don’t give up hope and don’t let the guards take that away. That was the last time I saw you.” Yelena replied looking at you with a sad look in her eyes. Tony came back in then with all the files in his hand and took a seat at the dining table and laid them all out.

Just then Wanda and Pietro came in and they were bickering about something in a different language. It seemed like sibling bickering but it was entertaining to see the twins fighting.

“Great the wonder twins are here, now we just have to wait on Bruce, T’Challa and Ayo to join us and we can go over what just happened and begin to piece together why y/n was at the Red Room,” Tony said.

“What year did this happen? I just want to double-check if there is anything in here.” Tony asked turning to Yelena

“1995 around August or September” Yelena replied.

Wanda sat down on one of the single armchairs that was across from you. Pietro made his way to the kitchen and started opening up the cupboards pulling out food.

“I don’t understand how can you eat after that,” Wanda asked

“What I’m hungry plus I have the super speed I need more food because I’m so fast.” Pietro

“Still, it’s weird,” Wanda said

“Hey, you don’t see me making fun of your wiggly woos” as he shoved chips in his face.

“Wiggly woos?” Yelena asked

Wanda smiled and promptly lifted her right hand wiggled her fingers and took the bag of chips out of Pietro’s hand and into her own.

“Hey no fair!!!” Pietro yelled

Wanda just laughed and started to eat the chips. She handed the bag to Nat you also took a few who then handed them to Yelena.

“You know what will go great with these? Salsa,” Nat said

“Oh yes, maybe some hummus as well!” Wanda replied looking at Pietro with a cheeky smile.

“Fine… I’ll get some more snacks for everyone” Pietro huffed. In a blink of an eye Pietro had laid out an assortment of snacks in front of everyone. He then sat down on the floor after grabbing one of the pillows and started to dig into the spread of food.

“You should eat something y/n. It’s been a very busy day and all you’ve had is some musli”

You looked at the assortment of snacks and grabbed a plated and loaded it up with some food. You hadn’t realised how hungry you were and the food looked so good. As the group ate you all discussed the events of this morning. You weren’t really paying any attention you were just focused on the food and still a little rattled by the fact that the people you had been running from for the last few years had found you.

“Well Romanoff, you were right. There is a gap in y/n’s files for all of 1995. There isn’t even an entry about where she was. You said you had information that you downloaded. Could I take a look please?” Tony asked pulling you out of your thoughts.

“Yeah sure. I have it all on this drive here.” Nat stood up and handed Tony a flash drive from her pocket.

“I’ll go over this and see what I can find out. In the meantime, I agree with Shuri that y/n should go to Wakanda. I think this is the safest option at the moment. I think the sooner the better, when do you think y/n could go to Wakanda Shuri?” Tony asked. Shuri had been eating a plate of food and talking to Bruce in the corner about something to do with the chip and hadn’t been paying attention.

“Hmm, sorry. I don’t see why she can’t come back with us in the morning. I’ll go talk to my brother now and let him know. Bruce, I think it might be a good idea that you come along as well to help me out and I’m guessing you would also like to come along Sargent Barnes?” Shuri responded as she got up from where she was sitting and put her plate of food on the table.

“There is no way I’m letting my little dove out of sight so, of course, I’m coming,” James said pulling you onto his lap and kissing you on your neck. Shuri smiled as she left the room to go off and find her brother.

“Well I don’t know about anyone else but I need a shower and a nap. I feel like I haven’t slept in ages and I’ve been on a plane for ages. Natasha, could I use your shower?” Yelena asked.

“Yeah sure, I’ll show you the way,” Nat said standing up and she and Yelena left the room.

“I’m going to go over some of my notes from our last couple of tests and pack my bag for tomorrow,” Bruce said also leaving.

Tony looked at his watch and stood up from the table collecting all the files up. “I need to head off as well it’s date night with Pepper and if I’m late she is going to kill me. Tony said his goodbyes and left the room as well. Wanda and Pietro also left both saying they had the stuff to do. Now it was just you, James and Steve.

“You feeling better now dove?” James asked.

“Yeah I do” you smiled kissing him on the cheek and running your hand through his hair.

“Buck, I need your help with something. Y/n do you mind if I steal him for a bit?”Steve asked

“Yeah, no problem. You’ll have to let me into the hallway where my room is first then he is all yours.” You said getting up from James’s lap. Steve nodded and the three of you headed to the security door. Steve opened up for you and you headed inside.

“I’ll see you in a bit dove,” James said leaning down and giving you a kiss on the forehead.

—Bucky POV—

Bucky knocked on y/n’s door after having spoken to Steve and put a bag together for tomorrow morning. He had run into Shuri and T’Challa and they told him that they would be leaving in the morning at around 9 o’clock and asked him to pass the message onto y/n.

“Come in” she called from behind the door. He opened up the door and found her saw her sitting on her bed leaning against the headboard reading a book. She had gotten changed and was now in a tank top and shorts. He couldn’t help but swallow at the sight. He leaned against the door frame and just stared at her.

“Oh… Turtledove what am I going to do with you?” He spoke in a low voice. She looked up at him from over her book with a cheeky grin on her face.

“Oh… I don’t know… why don’t you tell me” she replied teasing him.

“I think I may have a few ideas. But first, you are going to need to put your book down” he replied from where he was standing.

“Make me” she replied locking eye contact with him not putting the book down.

“Is that a challenge Turtledove?” he asked getting off the doorframe.

“It can be…You know how I love to read and this is a really good book…it might be a little difficult” she replied. Closing the door behind him he took quick strides to where she was sitting on her bed and placed his hands on either side of her caging her in between them. He looked down at the book in her hands and slowly took it out of her hands. He found the bookmark on her bedside table and placed it in the book before placing it on the bedside table. He then turned his attention back to her. Climbing onto the bed and placing his legs on either side of her hips and hands on the headboard behind her so he caged her in. Her breathing had quickened just a little at the small movement. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. She responded by winding her fingers into his hair and pulling him closer. She took his bottom lip in her teeth and lightly pulled at it. He let a low moan from him. He began to kiss along her jawline and under her chin. He then came to the hickey had given her yesterday and attacked it again. He felt her breath catch in her throat.

“James…” she breathed out

“Yes, darling" he spoke against her neck “What do you need?” He spoke into her ear before playfully at her earlobe with his teeth.

“Your hands…” she spoke

“Where darling… where do you need my hands?” He asked kissing along her neck down to her collarbone leaving little red marks as he went.

“Anywhere… I just need your hands on me.” She replied grabbing his face and bringing it back to her lips and she kissed him deeply. He removed his vibranium arm from the headboard and placed it on her shoulder and slowly traced it down her bare arm. Her mouth opened in a small gasp and he slowly traced his tongue along her bottom lip before sliding it into her mouth, she responded by pulling at his hair again. He sighed, she knew what that did to him when she pulled at his hair. He responded by taking his other hand and tracing it along her arm and slipping it under the tank top and cupping her breast. He smiled at the gasp that came from her lips. He pulled away from her lips.

“No bra?” He asked looking at her as he gave her breast a small squeeze. She bit her lip and squirmed a little under him.

“Well I’m not going anywhere so I didn’t see the point” she responded. She went to remove her top but he grabbed hold of her wrist with his free hand.

“Now now dove… who said you could take off your own clothes? I believe that is my job” he teased.

She looked up at him with pleading eyes. He smirked a little and removed his hand from her wrist and slowly removed the tank top and tossed it to the side. He then leant forward and took her free breast in his mouth as he continued to squeeze with the other. Y/n threw her head back and let out a soft mewl. He continued to kiss her nipple slowly moving to her sternum and placing both his hands on her hips and shifting backwards. He slowly pulled her down so she was lying on her back and spread her legs by placing his hands on her thighs pushing them to the side. He lay down between her legs and continued to slowly kiss down her sternum and to her stomach. He lightly kissed the thin scar along her side. He got to the small spot just inside her right hip bone and placed feather-light kisses there, he could feel the goosebumps start to form along her skin, and she bucked her hips lightly. He smiled looking up at her and found her breathing heavily and her pupils we blown just a hint of her irises could be seen as a light ring around them.

“You are so beautiful dove” he said smiling looking up at her before turning his attention back to the shorts.

“Now I think it is time I took these off don’t you think?” He asked before hooking his fingers in the shorts and slowly pulling them down. He pressed a kiss through the underwear and she rolled her hips in response and squeezed her thighs together, in response licked a long stripe along her underwear. Her breath caught in her throat.

“Please James” she whispered grabbing at his hair and tugging at it. He let out a low moan against her and she bucked her hips in response and whined.

“Ok dove” he spoke

He removed her underwear in one quick movement and sighed at the sight that greeted him.

“All ready wet for me just look at you” he grinned looking up at her. He turned his attention to the inside of her thighs applying feather-like kisses along her soft skin but stopping just in front of her opening. She rolled her hips in response to trying to get him to give attention to her clit. He responded by applying a strong kiss to her clit and hugged it gently with his nose. This small action caused her to sigh out and buck her hips trying to get more friction and pressure from him. He smiled at her response and began to lick long strokes along her entrance all the way up to her clit and she tugged his hair in response trying to pull him closer. He turned his attention to her clit, and he kissed it lightly before licking it, he moved his tongue slowly up and down then he sped up moving his tongue diagonally moving faster as he went. She threw her head back and let out a small moan and her breathing grew more erratic. Her nails dug into his scalp and she wrapped her legs around his shoulders and dug her heels into his back.

In response to this, he lifted his head to look up to you. Their eyes locked and she pleaded with him. “James… please don’t stop.” She was panting and there was a light sheen of sweat that covered her, he could feel pressure against his trousers as his erection began to grow but he was going to give more attention first. He gave her a devilish grin and dove back down this time his tongue found its way to her entrance. He slowly licked her folds up to her clit again. He did this several times. He let a small hum against her as he felt her getting wetter with each swipe of her tongue she bucked her hips out again.

“James… please,” she sighed as she tried to readjust herself to close the space between the two of them even more. In response to this, he pressed his tongue into her entrance and moved it around. The sudden feeling of his tongue being inside of her caused her to let out a loud moan and throw her head back. This was all the encouragement he need to know that she was enjoying herself and moved his right hand to her clit to give some attention as well. He began by drawing light circles clockwise then changing direction and pressing down further. All while continuing to kiss and lick her folds. She rolled her hips into his face in response. “Yes… James… please don’t stop… yes” she moaned. James then removed his tongue and slowly slid one of his fingers into her entrance while looking at her and slowly pumped it into her. He continued this for a while until she was right on the edge.

“I’m so close James… please don’t stop” she cried out. He slowly removed his finger out and she cried to protest. He bent his head down and continued to kiss her and apply pressure to her clit with one of his fingers.

“I want to taste you dove, let yourself go” he spoke into her entrance. She came undone with one circle around her clit and he lapped her up. She tugged at his hair and pulled him up into a kiss and she wrapped her legs around his hips. She let out a small gasp as she felt his erection poking through his jeans. Her hands went to the hem of his shirt and pulled it off him quickly. He responded by getting up onto his knees and unbuckling his jeans and removing his jeans and boxers and throwing them across the room. She reached down and palmed his penis and began to pump it.

“Oh dove…” he responded at the movement. He leaned back on his shins and hooked her legs around his waist and lined himself up with her entrance he took her chin in his hand and turned her face to look at him, he slowly pushed himself into her taking his time. Once he was in completely and then slowly moved his hip back and forth all the while holding her face in his hand and looking into her eyes. She slowly took his thumb in her mouth and sucked on it. He removed his thumb from her mouth and traced along her bottom lip. He leaned forward and crashed his lips into hers and kissed her with a renewed fever and picked up the pace of his hips. Her hands wound around his back and she dug her fingernails into his back and racked them down his back. He bite at her bottom lip in response and she let out a moan that sent a vibration against his lips that drove him crazy.

He sat up and pulled her up so she was flush against his chest. The change in position meant he was now hitting the spot that made her go nuts. He continued his pace as she burrowed her face into his neck as her breathing became erratic. He knew she was nearing her second orgasm and was also getting close. He continued to thrust his hips upwards and she moved her hips with his.

She lifted her face and took his in her hands and brought their lips together and kissed him with soft open-mouthed kisses.

“I love you so much James” she whispered into his lips

“I love you too y/n” he replied breathlessly he gave her a deep kiss and placed his hand behind her head and wrapped her hair in his fingers and pulled her head backwards and kissed her neck all the while continuing to thrust his hips upwards. He felt her tighten around him and he kept his pace up hitting that spot in her again and again. She came undone around him in waves and she let out a loud scream and he brought her lips to his to drown out the sound. He came soon after and he kept up with his pace as he rode out both of their orgasms. He slowly laid her down back onto her back and slowly pulled out. He gave her a deep kiss and lay down on her neck to her. They were both breathing heavily and she turned to look over to look at him. She lightly grabbed the chain of his dog tags and pulled at them and brought their foreheads together and smiled at him. She pulled him into her and wrap her arm around him and rested her head against his chest.

“Now dove, we have to get you cleaned up first before we cuddle. Ok?” He spoke into her hair.

“Hmm ok, fine” she sat up. He also sat up and took her hand and lead her to the bathroom. She sat herself down on the toilet as he got them both a glass of water and a damp cloth to clean her up with. He heard the toilet flush behind him and the lid of the toilet close. He handed her one of the glasses of water.

“Drink up” he spoke as he knelt down in front of her and gently moved her forward on the seat. He took the damp cloth and slowly cleaned her up carefully. She took small sips of the water and ran her fingers through his hair.

“I never got a chance to ask. How are you holding up? I mean after this morning and seeing me… you know … not be me.” She spoke quietly. He looked up at her and put the washcloth on the floor next to her feet.

“You are the one that was tested this morning, willingly gave up your autonomy and you want to know how I am doing?” He asked

“Well yeah? It’s not every day you see someone you love be under control, that couldn't have been easy to watch. Plus you are the only other person that really understands what it’s like to be controlled. Well, I guess Yelena does… I still can’t believe that she is the same girl from my nightmare” she spoke

“It was hard… seeing you like that. It was like a switch was flipped and everything that makes you who you are was gone and all that was left was this shell. Your voice was so … different cold. And when you lashed out…” he hung his head at the memory. She reached out and held his face in both of her hands.

“When you lashed out… your eyes… they were so dark. When Shuri clicked the button again and you came back. Your face in that moment when you came back, I know that feeling of realising what you have done and you had no control over. But I also know that feeling of realising you are finally free and I all I want is for you to have that feeling.” He spoke

“Well if all goes well this stupid chip should be out of my head soon. Have you heard from Shuri yet if we are leaving tomorrow?” She asked slowly standing up and grabbing her nightshirt from the bathroom door and pulling it over her head and reached her hand out and gestured for him to get up. He took his hand and lead him back to her room.

“I saw her just before coming here. She said we are leaving in the morning at 9 o’clock. I’m not sure how long we are going to be there, so you might want to pack a few changes of clothes” He said as he reached down and picked up his shirt and underwear and put them on. He could hear y/n opening and closing a draw behind.

“Right and when were you planning on telling me this?” she joked as she put on a fresh pair of underwear. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and tucked his face into her neck breathing in the smell of her hair.

“Well … I was going to tell you when I arrived but you were wearing that tank top and those short shorts… I got distracted” he smiled kissing her neck.

“Oh so it’s my fault” she joked spinning around and kissing him on the nose before turning back around and grabbing a bag and packing some clothes in it.

“Exactly” he responded

“Well I don’t remember you complaining” she teased as she closed up her bag and put it by the door.

“Oh dove you will never hear me complaining about those shorts,” he said plopping down onto the bed and patting the space next to him.

“So we leave tomorrow morning. What are we going to do until then?” She asked climbing onto the bed next to him and leaning against his chest.

“Well I was thinking, you could read your book to me for a bit and then we could go for a walk around the compound again?” He asked

“I like the sound of that … but I have a better idea.” She responded looking up at him.

“Yeah what are you thinking?” he asked looking down at her.

“I was thinking… we could go and sit under that willow tree again and you could read The Hobbit to me. I could lie down in your lap and could stroke my hair. You know like how we used to before the world went all crazy.” she suggested.

“I like the sound of that. Let me finish getting dressed. I’ll need to go back to my room and grab your book from my bedside table” he spoke getting up from the bed.

“I guess I’ll have to put some clothes on as well” she joked getting up from the bed as well.

—Y/N POV—

Sitting at the kitchen table having a cup of tea while waiting for James to come back to from his room you couldn’t help but smile. After years on the run and looking behind your back your life was finally coming back to some form of normal. You were finally getting the chip out of your neck and you would finally be free, getting answers to what happened to you over the years, you had new friends in Nat and Wanda, reunited with your old friend Steve and you and James were reconnecting in more ways than one. You were lost in your thoughts when you hushed whispers and laughing coming from behind you. The corner behind you meant that whoever was coming could not see you.

“How are you holding up Nat? It’s been a busy week and a lot has happened” you heard Steve speak, his voice was so soft and caring.

“Let’s just say that is not how I was hoping you would meet my family,” Nat responded

“What? You mean that taking down a secret organisation that raises young girls to be assassins was not how you wanted to introduce your family to your boyfriend” Steve joked.

“No … but in our line of work I guess that was bound to happen right” Nat respond

“I guess you might be right” Steve responded. As they rounded the corner Steve spun Nat around and pinned her to the wall and kissed her deeply, they still didn’t notice that you were there. You let out a small cough and they both froze.

“And when exactly were you going to tell me that you two were an item?” you asked eyeing them over your mug of tea. Steve blushed a very very deep red and Nat was trying to hold back a smile.

“Uhh…” Steve started

Just then James came around the corner.

“All right I have the book and I also grabbed a light blanket for us to lie on so we don’t get grass everywhere … uhh am I missing something here… I feel like I just walked into an awkward moment.” He froze taking in the scene around him.

“Did you know?” You asked

“Know what?” James asked

“That Nat and Steve are an item? James, I swear if you knew and you didn’t tell me I will beat your ass” You got up and shoved him in the middle of his chest.

“I … uh … yeah I knew” he confessed. You were about to respond when Nat cut in.

“I asked him not to. I wanted to tell you myself but with everything that has happened in the last week, I never got the chance. Please don’t be mad at Bucky, if you should be mad at anyone it’s me.” She said moving away from the wall.

“How could I be mad? Two of my closest friends are dating! This is great! Once I get this chip out of my head and everything is settled with me joining the team and all that jazz we all need to go on a double date. I need to know everything.” You gave Nat and Steve a huge hug.

“A double date sounds great dove, but I believe you and I have one right now. Shall we?” He asked holding out his elbow. You linked your arm through his.

“That we do James, let’s leave these two lovebirds to have some alone time.” You smiled over your shoulder. James and you headed out the glass doors and headed to sit under the willow tree.
