The Forgotten ❤️

Chapter 9

Victoria wakes up in the morning to an empty bed. She looked around and found Steve getting dressed. "Hey! Don't do that. Come back to bed."

Steve looks at her and smirks. "I wish I could love. I have training of some new agents." He bends down on the bed and kisses her, his tongue parting her lips eliciting a moan from her. They both groan when there is an urgent knock on the door and Bucky enters. 

"Buck! What the fuck!" Victoria sits up, covering herself as Steve stood up from the bed. 

He stared at her for a second before blushing and turning away from them. "I'm sorry, I knocked on your door first, but you weren't there. I just assumed you would be here. I remembered something. Get dressed and meet me in the lab." He leaves as quickly as he appeared.

Victoria looked at Steve who just shrugged. "I have to go love. I'll see you later." Before he could walk out the door she stood up and let the sheet fall to the floor, standing in front of him completely naked. Steve groaned, "that is so mean." She laughed as he pulled her to him, kissing her again. His hands found her bottom before grabbing her thighs and lifting her up. She wrapped her legs around him, not wanting to let go. He laughed and set her on the bed. "You should get dressed and meet Buck."

"Ugh. Fine." She grabbed one of his shirts, putting it on with her panties from the night before and walked back to her room. She turned back to him as he was leaving his own room, "later Captain." He looked at her and winked.

Victoria showered quickly and got dressed. She found Bucky pacing in the lab when she entered. "So, what is the reason that you interrupted my morning with Steve?" She crossed her arms as she saw the concern on his face, and she noticed Tony in the room too, making her blush.
 
"What?"

"Little things are coming back, here and there. As if I'm being allowed more information."

"Okay? What does that mean Buck? You're scaring me."

Buck grabbed her hand, and motioned for her to sit down. "I remember one of the reasons we could never get you out of there." He put his hands on her face, "you have a kill chip in the back of your neck. They would threaten me with it. That's how they were able to wipe me over and over again, if I didn't let them, they would set off the chip."

"Why don't I remember it?" 

He let go and started to pace again. "I don't know. There's still more missing, I know there is. But I don't know what." He turns back to face her, "but I do know that we need to remove it."

She knew he was right, but she was scared that she didn't remember it. 

"Do you want me to get Steve?" 

She hesitated but shook her head, "no. He's busy. I don't want to worry him. Let's just do this." She laid down on her stomach, lifting her hair off her neck. "Hold my hand Buck." Bucky did as she requested as he offered her his flesh hand. She felt Dr. Cho numb her neck. "Give me a memory Buck. Something to distract me." 

Victoria sees Bucky and Steve as teens at Coney Island. Riding rides, playing games. Bucky was trying to impress some girl. He eventually won her a stuffed bear and she kissed him on the cheek making him blush. She watched Steve keeping mostly to himself. He was shy and insecure. She felt bad for him. He didn't exude the confidence he did now since the serum. Suddenly the image disappears as she feels Bucky let go of her hand and she's brought back to the present. 

She looks up at Bucky who was smiling at her, "all done doll." 

She looked around and sat up, "was it still active?" Tony just nodded. "Okay. Then why didn't they use it yet." Her attention is drawn back to Bucky pacing again. 

"There's more. I know there is, but I can't remember." He stopped pacing and faced her, his eyes wet with tears, "why can't I remember?"

"I don't know Bucky. I feel some pieces missing too." She stood up, wrapping him in a hug, "we will figure it out. I promise." She grabbed his hand to make him look at her. "Thank you." Before she could think, she pulled his lips to hers, forgetting they weren't alone. She shook her head, looking around. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Come on, let's get breakfast."

*******************************

After breakfast Victoria went to the training room and watched Steve train the new agents. There looked to be 10 of them. She hears him call to her in the middle of sparring, "get in here and help me put them in their places."

She laughs and enters the training room, "how did you know I was watching?" 

She made her way to him as he finished sparring, "I felt you." He winked at her and placed his hand on her back as he turned to the new recruits. "This is Victoria Stark." She saw them looking at each other and whispering 'Stark?'

She put her hair up out of her face and Steve ran his finger over her neck where the chip was removed. He pulled her to the side and leaned in to her ear, "what happened?"

"I'm fine Steve. We'll talk about it later."

Victoria stepped forward as Steve stood off to the side. She took off her shirt and threw it to him, making him blush. She made a stance and waited for the recruits. They looked at Steve and he just nodded. The recruits made their way to her, one by one. A punch here, a kick there. It wasn't long before she had them all on the ground, all except one. The Shield agent from the night before stepped forward and smirked. "Ms. Stark." He made a stance as Victoria lunged at him. He seemed to anticipate her attacks. The others were easy, this one was better trained, and stronger. But that didn't stop her from being able to pin him to the ground as she heard Steve laugh behind her. She offered her hand to the agent, "what's your name?"

He just smiled, "I'm Anthony."

Steve stepped forward, "okay, that's enough for today. Hit the showers."

Victoria took her shirt from Steve and leaned up to his ear, "I'll be in your shower. Don't take too long." She laughs as she hears him groan as she left the training room.

***********************************

Victoria lets the water wash over her, thinking about Bucky and whatever it was they were still forgetting. She didn't hear Steve enter the bathroom until she felt him join her in the shower. She had barely turned around to face him as his lips were planted on hers. He grabbed her neck, making her wince. He let go immediately, "I forgot. I'm sorry. What happened?"

She told him about Bucky and the chip. "He's sure there's more that he isn't remembering, and I feel the same. There's a piece missing." She points to her head, "but I don't know what Steve." 

He wiped away the tears that started to fall with his thumbs. "It's okay. We will figure it out together." He pulled her back to him, he wanted to make her forget her worries, if only for a little while. He planted his lips once again on hers as she moaned. She grabbed him firmly in her hands, stroking, making him begin to pant. He grabbed both her hands, pinning them above her head with one hand. His other hand trailed down to her breasts. He rubbed them gently with his thumb before twirling them between his fingers. She projected her pleasure on him like she did the night before. Everything he did to her he could feel himself. They both moaned as he moved his hand down between her legs. His fingers quickly entered her, sliding easily inside as she arched her back to his touch. His tongue invaded her mouth, both of their tongues fighting for control as he continued to pleasure her with his fingers, his thumb rubbing her clit as he did. He felt that she was close, making her groan as he pulled away. In one swift motion, he lifted her up and lowered her onto him. He pressed her against the cold shower wall, moving quickly. The intensity was like nothing he had ever experienced. He could stay locked in their bubble forever, them both feeling only each other. They finished together quickly, both of them out of breath.

"Steve, I have to tell you something." She looked up at him as she put on one of his shirts, watching him get dressed.

"Okay? What is it?" He stared at her apprehensively as he braced himself.

"I kissed Bucky earlier in the lab. And I've kissed him a few times since being here. And I've slept with him a few times. Not sex, just sleeping." She didn't have to touch him to feel the jealousy that he tried to hide.

"It's fine. You're not mine. I know you're confused." He closed the distance between them, running his hand gently across her cheek, "just don't tell me what happens between you. You'll eventually have to make a choice though love."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I know. I'm not ready to yet though." Steve just nodded as he kissed her again.
