"Let's take the Escalade" Bucky suggested as he walked over to the safe that was mounted into the wall and held all the car keys.

"Not safe enough. We better take the bikes" the German replied. Her eyes moved relentlessly between her husband and the two black Ronans on the far back of the garage.

The dark-haired man closed the safe door again while he side-eye the blonde woman.

She had pulled her hair in a ponytail and wore a black denim jacket over her top. He knew she had a gun tucked between her jeans and her back, and several knives on her belt.

Bucky walked over to her. Cupping her face between the palms of his hands, he leaned down the three inches she was shorter than him, and kissed her.

"If you think I'll let you out there on a fucking motorbike, after all that happened yesterday, you don't fucking know anything 'bout me, doll" he mumbled against the pink skin of her soft lips as he smiled.
His eyes were a bright blue when he moved back a little and looked at her.

M sighed. She knew where he was coming from, but it wasn't the best idea.

"It's less safe, Buck" she argued "when they're still there, they'll probably be after us. And if they're faster they'll get us together when we take the car. Let's take the bikes, we..."

Her argument was interrupted by the sound of a voice booming through the speakers that were embedded in the house's ceilings. They were in every room, just like the compound, and Bucky as well as M immediately knew that this had happened at Tony's order.

"Mr and Mrs Barnes, there's a call for you. It's urgent."
It was the voice of Friday.

Bucky looked at Marie with furrowed brows and a puzzled look, as if he wanted to ask if she knew that they were connected to the compound this way.

Marie shook her head in denial.

"Friday why the hell are you connected to this house?" the soldier asked.

"It was a request from Mr Stark, Sir" she answered "the call is really urgent. I ask you to come upstairs."

"Who's it from?" This time it was Marie asking.

She wasn't going back upstairs for a call she didn't know about from an artifical voice that wasn't even supposed to be heard at the other end of the fucking world. Not with the knowledge of what had happened yesterday.

"It's Mr Stark, Mrs Barnes."

"Tell him we get back to him when we're done" M said bluntly.

She walked past Bucky to the safe that held the keys and tossed him the one to his Ronan while she took the one to hers.

"He requests you talk to him now" Friday pressed on.

Bucky and Marie stopped in their places immediately, and they both sighed.

The muscles in the soldier's jaw ticked as he clenched it. Annoyance rose inside his chest, and he knew his wife felt the same. He heard her suck on the skin of her teeth as she rolled her eyes.

Heavy and deep breaths fille her lungs. She tried hard to stay calm, but her patience was fading more and more with every passing minute. Bucky saw it in the way she tensed her shoulders and gripped the helmet in her left hand. The green aura erupting around them wasn't to be overseen.

The soldier wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth M jumped on her bike and was gone.

"Mr Barnes?" the AI asked once more.

"Not now, Friday" he answered, climbing on his bike as well "tell Stark we're getting back to him when we're done."

He started his bike with a kick and set off behind the blonde German, following her through the jungle.
