In the deep

She's not alone

Were gonna get our first bit of action here.
Violence, death, kicking ass and taking names.

    Tony was fascinated with your research, so much so that he was in the lab with you most days helping you experiment. Discovering the low protein count was a break through but it wasn't a cure. There was no magic way to put more of that protein strand into someone's mind. So you both played with different compounds and how they reacted with different proteins.

Bruce even started helping in the lab though he didn't know why you were working on this project. That was something you and Tony kept to yourselves.

This breakthrough also gave you another excuse to avoid Bucky and not think about the kiss. But like a virus he snuck into your mind at the worst possible times. Like today, while you were staring at readings but you couldn't even begin to understand what they said because all you could picture in your mind was his lips on yours.

It was just a kiss. It's not like he told you that he liked you or anything. It's not like you liked him. Or did you. Or was your liking only because of the amount of time you spent with him while you were helping him get him memories back.

You had dated before, not a lot because you couldn't allow your time being occupied by empty conversations at an Italian restaurant on Friday nights. You had gone on a few dates over the years and had one long term relationship while you were in the military but when you were both being restationed at opposite sides of the world there wasn't much of a point in continuing being together.

That was as much experience you had with men, you never knew your father, anytime you brought it up to your mother as a kid she would always just tell you that he had a different life. She would never elaborate any farther than that and as you got older you just quit asking about it. Your life became consumed with college level physics and taking care of your mother. You didn't need a father.

You rubbed your eyes snapping yourself out of your day dream of Bucky's lips when the compound alarm went off.

Tony and Bruce began running out of the lab and you followed them into the commander center where the rest of the team was looking at screens of destruction in the city.

On the screen military men terrorized the people of New York while trying to get into one of SHIELDS headquarters.

"Hydra." Bucky simply stated. You looked up to him for only a second before his eyes caught yours and you snapped your attention back to the screen.

"Yea but what to they want?" Steve asked folding his arms over his chest.

"Doesn't matter. Let's go." Tony was already holding out his arms calling his Iron Man suit to him.

"Suit up." Steve announced as everyone ran out of the room for their gear.

Standing awkwardly next to Tony you weren't really sure what you were suppose to be doing. You had military training but not to their level and your job requirements didn't really list fighting crime in them.

Tony sensing you flipped his mask up. "Stay here, get coms up and be our eyes and ears. Try to find out what they are looking for. Jarvis can help you hack anything you need."

You nodded your head taking his order and sat down at the table and began to pull up maps of the building they were trying to enter. Swiping through holographic images that you didn't need you began sifting through possibilities of what or who they were trying to get.
