Steve pulled Bucky out of the room for a moment, then they both came into the room before the professional ice cube asked me to follow him to god knows where.

"I swear on my left pinky toe Roger's if you take me in that gym again I'll use your eyes for halloween jelly decorations and your shield will be the bowl" I was deadly serious, the last and only time I trained with him being something that I'd never want to relive. Bucky's eyes widened slightly before he laughed and Steve just shifted his footing and let out a small chuckle.

My soldier spoke once he's stopped laughing, "now that is something I'd like to see". I smiled at him with a cheeky grin and a wink.

Mr. Ice Cube confirmed he wasn't taking us to the gym, and just said a stern "follow me" before turning and leaving. I know the soldier was always quite serious, but this was something else, this was like the level of when they get a new mission to head off on. I obeyed his orders and followed with Bucky close to my side, feeling his hand brush against my arm occasionally as we walk.

We reached the Batcave quickly, and walked through the glass doors to be met with a stone-faced Tony. Uh oh. Not a single joke left his lips or even that signature smirk most people wanted to punch off of him. This was not good. Steve walked around and stood next to Tony, still leaving a good few feet between to two, while me and Bucky both stood on the other side of the cluttered desk barely a foot away from each other.

"You two talk?" Was the first think the billionaire asked us, to which we both nodded a yes. "Good, because you two are going into a lockdown" my eyes widened and I felt my heart rate pick up, this was worse than I thought.

Cap continued for Tony, "Hydra have been searching for their Winter Soldier again, since he left Wakanda its been quiet but last week we heard about their search starting up again. You're both going into a lockdown together here in the compound to ensure they don't find him" Bucky was stone faced at this, he'd been here a few months now so I guessed he was hiding the shock for now so I reached out and gently put my hand into his, which he immediately accepted. He took a deep breath and nodded once, before looking at me - clearly trying to ask if I'd do it with him or not.

"I'll start grabbing a few things from my room" I looked at Tony, "how much am I gonna need?" He responded with most things but to try and keep it sensible so I already started making the list ready for when we got to my room. I left before Bucky, he wanted to be filled in more on the situation with Hydra and I thought it would be best to let him have some privacy for that, if he wanted to tell me later he could.

I grabbed things to keep us entertained, my favourite blankets and pillows, comfy clothes and other essentials and put them on my bed. Tony would've made sure the room with have all the basics, it was mostly personal items that were needed and entertaining things. I remembered the few board games under my bed, ones I'd inherited from my grandad, and put those in the pile too. I smiled thinking about the fond memories I had as a child, spending my weekend mornings playing games with him before going downstairs to make breakfast (or closer to lunch really) together. He always knew how to keep me entertained.

Bucky was in my room with a large duffel bag of clothes and a few books quickly, and was clearly shocked at the considerably larger amount of items I had compared to him. I smiled sheepishly and he laughed, coming over to hug me tightly. "I guess we're roommates then" causing me to grin into his chest and nod.

Looking up at him I asked, "is it bad I'm kinda happy about this situation?"

"Well I hope not because so am I Doll" he kissed my forehead then let me go to face the pile on my bed. "But how are we meant to carry all this when Steve takes us to our new room?"

Most would probably be deterred by a challenge like this, but I was stubborn with no real sense so I hadn't gotten that far, but after a few moments of thinking I concocted a plan. I had one large duffel bag matching Bucky's which I got out and rammed all my clothes into, and then used my duvet to carry try to carry the rest of the things. Bucky laughed and the sight and took the board games out to carry as well as my bag of clothes that was already on his shoulder, then picked up the blankets and folded them over the duffel bags. The load was much easier for me to hobble along with now, and luckily just in time for Steve to knock on the door.

We walked down endless hallways and locked doors before we got the room, or I could really say apartment. It was spacious with a beautiful open layout, sleek yet simple but somehow homely. I walked over to the middle of the room and dropped my sack of things down in the most gentle way I could. Steve was filling Bucky in on some things while I zoned out staring around the room. There was only 2 doors, and judging by the large bed in the room we were stood in, they had to be a storage room and a bathroom. The bathroom matched the vibe of the rest of the apartment, and the storage room was more of a walk in wardrobe.

When I zoned back into the boys' conversation, it was evident they were wrapping up. "Food will be sent and brought to you by me or Tony, we are the only people with access to this place. If anyone knocks, you do not answer it no matter what. Me and Tony will use the sensors to get in without any knocking, and f.r.i.d.a.y. Isn't accessible in here so it's lower tech modes sadly. There's no cameras inside here and this room doesn't exist in any system anywhere for the best possible security, and everyone but me and Tony think you've both flown to Wakanda to get away for a while. I'm sorry to do this to you both but it's best". The Capcicle was clearly annoyed at the situation but remained calm, so we said our goodbyes and he left us alone in our new place.

I decided to make the situation as lighthearted as I could and leaped at my soldier with a grin on my face. He easily caught me, and span around a few times making me giggle and wrap my thighs tighter around his waist to avoid me slipping. When he stopped I kissed him, trying my best not to smile into it. He squeezed my thighs slightly tighter as the kiss deepened, causing me to moan into his mouth. We soon both stopped for air and smiled at eachother, before he gently set me on my feet.

"I guess we better unpack first Doll" he grinned at me, kissing me gently once more.

I smiled, feeling my plan to lift his mood was working, "I guess so... roomie"

Hey darlings! So it's been 1 year since I started this book and I can't believe how many people are reading it! I'm sorry for the very slow updates, but it's still a work in progress and I will try my best to keep writing, thank you for all the love and support on this little piece of work it means the world to me!

As always, have a good day/night <3
