Fighting for You 🔞

Twenty-Five

Lexi began to plate up for everyone. She had heard the jet land, and then take off a few minutes later. She smiled, knowing that things were going to be ok.

'Right then, food is ready. Lasagna, salad and garlic bread. You all need to start eating better. You can have takeout once a week and that's it. I want you all to send me your dietary requirements and preferences, so I can set a meal plan. Unless you have missions or meeting, you will all be present at meal times..'

She turned, loading up the dishwasher, as she heard the elevator open. She stood, and turning back as she saw Wilon carring the case... 'Thank you Wilson, I appreciate you doing that for me. Come get your plate and eat please..'

'Got to say I'm loving this side of you..'.. Barton chuckled at her as he grabbed plates, taking them to the table. Romanoff helped him, agreeing with his words.

'It is good to see you again Agent Adams..'.. Potts smiled at her, as she took a seat at the table.

'I guess you can all call me Lexi now..'.. She grabbed bottles of water for each of them... 'If you can check on Stark in a few hours, and let me know when he's awake. I'll make sure he eats something before we go over the files..'

The elevator opens again, and her body hums with need, seeing Barnes walk out. She could see he was a little nervous, so she put the bottles down on the table, and walks over, pulling him in for a kiss... 'Did you two enjoy your talk?'... She asked, stepping back.

Bucky knew from the glean in her eyes, she had sent Steve on purpose... 'We'll talk about it later, sweetheart..'

Lexi licked her lips, and took his hand, guiding him to the table... 'Anyone got an issue with Barnes being here?'

They all said no, and she felt him relax. The two sat down, leaving an empty chair next to her. She knew he would be there. Not 2 minutes later, he strolled out of the elevator, not looking at anyone, but she saw the blush on his face. She wonder what exactly they had talked about.

'I'm not one for saying grace, so dig in everyone..'.. She picked up her fork and began to eat, as Rogers took the seat next to her. She could swear she could feel the tension rolling off of him.

'Damn this is good..'.. She smiled at Wilson, as she switched her fork to her other hand, and placed her free one on Rogers thigh. She felt him jerk at her touch, but she didn't show it.

'Thank you. I want to make sure you're all healthy. That includes eating properly. I'll happily make the meals for you all...'... She says, taking another mouthful.

'If you weren't with Barnes, I'd marry you for your cooking alone..'... She chuckled at Wilson, winking at him, as her fingers traced circles on Rogers leg.

'Unfortunately for you Falcon, if anyone was to have me if I wasn't with Barnes, it would be Red..'... She nodded at Romanoff who blew her a kiss... 'Or Hawk..'... She winked at the archer, who smirked back at her... 'Besides, I don't think you could handle me Wilson. If it wasn't for his arm, I don't think he could control me..'.. She turned licking her lips slightly as she looked at Barnes.

She knew he could see where her hands was, and he smirked at her, nodding... 'So Potts, how's the company? Did the contacts I send over help at all?'

The conversations flowed easily, and she kept her hand on his leg, sliding it up and down. When her fingers brushed across his groin, she felt his body still beneath her touch. She didn't care if the others knew what she was doing, she wanted to tease him.

When the food was finished, she assigned everyone a task to clean up, while Barnes got her a drink. She kept Rogers next to her, and she turned her head slightly, to whisper to him... 'Is everything ok Captain? You didn't talk much during lunch..'

Steve had spent the whole time, since he had spoken with Bucky, holding onto his control. When she put her hand on his leg, he almost snapped. He tried to think of anything other than everything thst hand happened between the three of them, the last 12 hours.

'Fine. I uh, I need to go..'.. He went to get up, bit felt her squeeze his leg.

'If you need help to release all that tension Captain, I'm sure we could help you with it..'.. Steve shot up and basically ran from the room. She turned her head, seeing Barnes grin at her, and she knew he heard everything.

'Whats his deal?'... Wilson asks, confused, as he walks over to wipe the table down.

Lexi picked up her bottle of water, and stood... 'I was feeling him up and offered to help him with his tension. I think I scared him off..'.. She shrugged.

'Uh, I thought you and Buck were together?'... Wilson stops what he's doing, frowning at her.

Lexi walked over to him, patting his cheek... 'Aw Falcon, you have yet to really know me...'

Pepper and Happy shook their heads, Nat and Clint sniggered, seeing Sam get nervous and Bucky just watched as she teased him.

'I can see why Banner turned her down. She is definitely a handful...'... Bucky turned to chuckle at Clints words.

'She's amazing. She really does care about people, doesn't she?'... He asks the two agents.

'Yeah, she does. She may come across as a bitch, but she does anything and everything that she can to help others. She is the best agent we've ever had. There's nothing she wouldn't do for you Barnes. Hell, she took an arrow for me, when this one was sent to kill me..'... Nat jerks a thumb at Clint.

'And I never miss. Straight to the shoulder. She pulled it out of her, knocked Nat out, and threw her over her shoulder, carrying her away. When we got somewhere safe, she made sure me and Nat were taken care of first, before herself...'... Clint sighed, watching Lexi tease Sam.

'Yeah, and all that shit afterwards. If it wasn't for her, we'd both be dead...'... Nat slapped the back of her hand to Clints chest.

Bucky watches as she walked over, smiling at everyone... 'Dinner will be at 6, no exceptions unless I deem it valid. I'll be giving Jarvis a list of groceries, ready for the rest of the week. I want every one of you, to make sure you send me your food preferences by then. If I have to chase you for it, well, you know what will happen..'

'You got it. Me and Nat are going to train for a bit, you want to join us?'... Lexi smiled at Barton, and shook her head.

'I will tomorrow. Oh, and I want a copy of the training plans too. I can work around each of you. Potts..'.. She looked across to the woman... 'I want you to train too. I know you're not on the team, but after the last incident with you, I'd be happier knowing you have some training. Not just hand to hand, weapons too'

Pepper sighed, knowing it was useless to even argue with her... 'Ok, but only guns. I don't really want to use them but, I don't think I'd have the ability to use anything else..'

Lexi nodded at her... 'Barton, Romanoff, you two train with Potts and Hogan. Give them the basics.  I'll check the development in a week..'

She went to go pick up the case, ready to take it down to her lab... 'Barnes, Wilson, you're with me, let's go..'
