Fighting for You 🔞

Seventeen

The meeting lasted a little longer than what she wanted, but she didn't care. It was dark outside the windows, and she was thoroughly exhausted. Rubbing a hand over her face, she looked over at Fury... 'We'll continue this tomorrow. Its been a very long 48 hours. Everyone out, I need a moment alone with Barnes and Fury...'

Everyone else got up, and she saw Rogers hesitate. She raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to challenge her. She watched him scoff and follow the others out. When the door closed, leaving the three of them, she turned back to Fury... 'My immunity, I want it passed over to Barnes. A full pardon too..'

She saw him look shocked, and she knew he wanted to ask... 'It will be done Nick. You know I'm good at what I do, and if they fail to follow my demand, I will happily go ghost. I hold a lot of intel, you know that. I've done enough of what was asked of me, without question. This is all im asking for, in exchange for what I've done for you and everyone else..'

Fury sat back, looking over at her. He glanced to Barnes, seeing the surprise in his face. Adams was right, she had always done what was asked of her, from SHIELD, and every other agency and government she was loaned to. For the past 10 years, she had become highly sought after, due to her efficiency and effectiveness.

He sighed, knowing it would be difficult do to as she asked, but he would fight it for her... 'It will take some time, but I'll get it done. The US government may want proof that the solider is gone, but we can deal with that when the time comes..'.. He looked over at her again... 'You retiring?'

Lexi scoffed in disgust... 'Fuck no. I'll only ever stop being an agent when I'm dead..'

Fury chuckled at her, giving her a nod before standing up... 'Its good to have you back Adams, its been too quiet without you..'

Lexi grinned at him, holding her hand out to shake his... 'I'm taking some time off. Until I have made sure Barnes is free, I'm off other missions, unless it's world ending type of shit'

Fury shook his head, shaking her hand. He held it out to Barnes... 'You got the best looking after you Sergeant Barnes, I'll work on that pardon, you'll be a free man..'

Bucky shook the man's hand, not knowing what to say. She was giving up her immunity for him, and demanding a pardon for him. Looking across to her next to him, as Fury left, he didn't know what to say.

Everything Steve had said earlier rang in his ears. After what just happened, he didn't believe a single word his friend had said about her.

'Come back to me..'.. He hears her voice, seeing her smiling up at him, holding his hand... 'There you are. You hungry? And I mean food..'

He smiled down at her, nodding. She led him from the room, and up to the main floor, where the others were sat around... 'Food, we need food. Starving over here..'

She let his hand go, and began to rummage  around the kitchen. He couldn't help but chuckle, she looked like she was on the hunt... 'Get your ass over here Barnes and help me..'

Bucky looked around at the others, they were sat, glancing over between her and him. He could hear snippets of their conversations, but Steve was silent. He saw his friends face, seeing that he was scowling over at Lexi.

'Rogers, I highly suggest you stop staring at my ass, if you know what's good for you..'.. Bucky looked over at her. He back was to the team, as she reached up into a cupboard, pulling out plates.
