troubled soul x Bucky Barnes x

IV

Entangled in one another's body we just lay there, un willing to move or leave the other. He gently strokes my head as it lay on his bare chest listening to rhythm of his heart. "I never want to let go of you. And I wish I didn't have to go." He said in a remorseful manner, lightly squeezing my body tighter to his. "I know. So do I. But we don't have a choice. Orders." I say as I sit up to look at him with love and sadness in my face. "Marry me" I freeze at his words in dis belief, not even realising I was holding my breathe as I looked at him. "W-What..." I stutter, finally letter a breath out.
"I said marry me." He asked, his expression serious. "A-are you serious? What about hydra, I doubt they would allow it-" he cut me off with a kiss, gentle and soothing to calm me down. "hey calm down. Listen I don't remember my past or my humanity half the time but I know without you I would be broken. You are the only thing I care and love. Ok... hydra doesn't need to know as long as we follow their rules and orders. I love you too much to loose you Maggie Carter. I don't want to live without you ever again. So will you marry me?" My heart was racing out of panic and fear of hydra, but at this point I didn't care, all I cared about was him and holding onto him. " oh Bucky Barnes, yes I will" the smile across his face met mine as I kissed him and fell into his embrace.
Suddenly a knock on the door disrupted the joy as Tony's voice bellowed through the door. "Mags open the door!" His tone was agressive i looked to bucky in a serious expression as I reply  in an irritated tone. "What the hell do you want. Go away im busy and quite frankly you're the last person I will talk to." As I spoke I grabbed a shirt and covered myself signaling to bucky to toss the bag to the neighboring roof so it was out of the way and that the drive was safe, and we didn't have any evidence of our earlier escapade while he puts spare clothes on- except his shirt to which I had grabbed. "Mags someone is in there, I don't care about the crap earlier ok just open the door or im breaking it down!" Rage and a slight of panic kicked in.
"Its on the roof." Bucky whispered a slight relief cleared trickles of panic away as I hastily replied to Tony, "fine! Wait a moment" I shouted to the door. "Disuise your arm and Put your hair up. Trust me" I said in a hurried whispers as I adjusted the shirt I was wearing, buckys shirt, to show the marks on my neck. "Hurry up!" Tony bellowed through the door as I glanced over to bucky to make sure he's ready and opened the door.

"What do you want stark I was in the middle of something." I spat at Tony making myself sound more annoyed than worried. "I bet you were, who is in there and what were you doing?" He argued as he tried to barge in. I block his way so he is forced to retreat, giving him full view of the marks on my neck as a distraction, Bucky kept his face hidden from starks view. "None of your business. But if you really want to know what I was doing why don't you ask the goons you had spy on me earlier. Heads up next time don't use the people I work with arse whole." My temper flaming I could feel the tension of the room so tried to end it swiftly. "Yeah nice hickeys young lady. Get your ass out here and let me in somethings gone on tonight-" before Tony could utter another line my hand had landed across his face, the force so hard that it left a hand print. " don't you dare call me young lady like your my father I am a grown woman not YOUR little girl, don't you dare patronise me and don't you dare talk to me like that again else it won't just be a slap next time." Tony's face was frozen in horror and I could sense Buckys protective nature coming through so I look to him to stand down and bring my focus to back to stark. "We can talk when I get back from mission about all of this and if you really need me me too ile even teach the birds and the bees to you but, right now I'm spending the last 10 minutes I have left with my fiancé before he has to leave for god knows how long. OK." Before he could get another word in I slammed the door in his face, my whole body was shaking in from the adrenalin and anger as Bucky comes towards me and wraps his arms around me "Hey its ok doll." He spoke in a soothing way as he stoked my head and rubbed my back in his embrace. "We have to get you out of here now, collect the bag and return to hydra ASAP ok. And for the love of Christ don't get followed." I said pulling away from his embrace and composing myself.
Changing into new clothes I throw Buckys button up that I had been wearing at him, "thanks Honey." He said in a joking yet serious way as he put the shirt on, covering his chest and the marks I left on him. Scanning the room before we left making sure we left nothing behind, "the drive?" I questioned just to be sure, while giving a baseball cap to him. "Safe." He said in a reassuring manner, covering his pulled back hair with the hat. "You should put your hair up more often," I said in a doting voice," come one let's get you out of here." I escorted him out the building, being sure to hide his face from any camera view along the way, giving him a final kiss goodbye "see you soon." He said in my ear with a smile at the edge of his lips, his voice layered with and underline confirmation and kindness that if anyone were to see us we would be nothing but a regular couple. "Yeah soon," my voice riddled with a rainbow of emotions it was hard to tell what was fake and real at this point except the relief of his escape, " don't get killed." I Finnish in a warm and joking tone, a sad smile traced across my face as he left.

The mission the next day was simple recon and to no more than a few hours meaning I was back in plenty of time to spare for the afternoon. Which was both good and bad when thinking about Tony, just a matter of time before he turned up. Suddenly, before i had the chance to even change, the intercoms sounded calling us to a meeting, I met with Nat who was walking up, just as confused as I was.
In the meeting room we sat around a table Tony at its head my laptop in hand, everyone there had a look of confusion painted over their faces. "What's this about Tony." Steve asked, seemingly tired from the night before. Staring into my soul Tony slid the laptop towards me. "Why don't you ask her." He said in a sickening tone. " you went in my room. Shocker." I say in a highly sarcastic tone glaring at Tony. "Yeah I did little miss secrecy because the cameras went of because of a code you activated from your room. So start talking curly locks." I looked at him. Head resting on my hand as I roll my eyes at him with a weak stifled laugh. "Its the lovers code everyone has it on their cards. You just activate it on your laptop." My words were fast and simple as if it were common information to him. " how come I don't know about it. I designed the cards, also why is there a jammer in your room." His voice more accusatory by the second. "I installed it when we had the new update in security few months back, everyone knows about it except you because you are the reason we have it." My eyes staring into Tony's soul my face not showing a single secret. "She's telling the truth Tony." Steve piped up "yeah" gradually the whole group had piped up to agree.
"And the jammer Tony. I have very clear trust issues, I mean I'm a spy for a living and I live with you. What do you expect when you snoop into my business all the time."
My words were as cold as I trained them to be. "Really, well i wouldn't do it if you told the truth." "Shove off you ignorant asre."
"Oh im sorry madame britonia," he said with a sarcastic taunt, "ruffled you feathers, uncovered hidden truths." "You invaded my privacy stark. My secrets aren't yours to know." I joult from my seat and stand slamming my hands on the table. "Oh your secrets. How about I share one of your special little secrets then huh." He looked at me with a challenging facade. "Which one most of mine are classified." I give him a look of calm anger teasing with a curl of my lip, just to put him on edge. In reality though I prepared for this encounter my heart was racing wilder by the second. "How about your little fiance from last night." He scanned my face looking for my reaction, I could feel everyone's eyes on me in shock of the revelation. My face showed nothing. "He proposed." Nat said sweetly in questioning. "Last night, I was going to tell you." I say with a bitter emphasis on the was, trying to put Tony into a guilty mindset. "I didn't even know you were in a relationship." Bruce finally spoke up, "it was need to know." I say straight forward with an unfazed look in my eye. "You knew." He said pointing to Nat, "so did I Tony." Steve chimed in taking tony glare from Natasha. "Is that it stark. Are you happy now, can we leave." I say trying to end this twisting nightmare unscathed. "No actually there's one more thing I want to add." He added in such cool tone that you would have thought it was a light discussion not an argument. "Oh yeah and what prey tell would that be then" I stood straight crossing my arms with a looked of tiredness draped across my face. "You're a mole for hydra."
