As soon as Steve and Victoria reached the gym she kicked her sandals off, pulling her socks off next and tucking them into her sandals as usual.
"Are you going to tell me about the fight?" Steve asked as he climbed into the ring and reached out for her hand. She took his hand and let him pull her up and into the ring.
"Maybe." She said quietly as she moved to her corner of the ring.
"Fine, we'll talk and fight." Steve said. The two sparred for a while, Steve shouting out pointers and directions as he did so.
"Did I make a mistake marrying him?" She finally asked after dropping to her knees and sliding between his legs to avoid a punch. She popped back up behind him, Steve quickly spinning around and lunging for her again.
"You don't want me to answer that." Steve said. He caught her wrist as she moved to swing on him, pinning her back against his chest roughly, his other arm came around to wrap around her torso and pin her arm to her side.
"And why is that?" She asked as she panted against him. She threw her head back, hoping to collide with his face with enough force for him to let go of her, but he moved to avoid the hit, keeping her cemented to his chest.
"You won't like the answer." He responded before letting her out of his grasp. The two continued their training, Victoria didn't push the issue about Steve answering her question, she already knew the answer. She knew everyone on the teams answer if she asked them their opinion on Noah.
"Are you going to tell me what's bothering you before or after I beat you?" Steve asked, he moved to lunge at Victoria again but she raised a leg up and firmly kicked him in the sternum as she practically yelled "He called me a whore!"
Steve was so surprised by her outburst he didn't even pay attention to their training. She moved to lunge again, extending her leg straight out as she landed another blow to his sternum, knocking him back. "All because Peter texted me, what the fuck is that, Steve?" She said angrily. She swung and punched him in the chest, slowly backing him up in hopes of cornering him. "All this started from a stupid argument about a baby." She yelled, swinging her leg up and kicking Steve roughly in the ribs. Steve didn't attack back but blocked her hits, let her blow off some steam. "I feel like I got catfished!" She yelled, grabbing the knife Steve had brought into the ring for her and lunging at him with it. "I'm so sick of having the same fight over and over!" She yelled. Steve quickly blocked her forearm, avoiding the knife but she threw it into her other hand and lunged at him again. "I feel like im wasting my time!" She yelled.
"What is going on down here?" The two heard someone almost shout, both turning to see Bucky standing in the doorway, staring at the two with a disappointed scowl.
"Nothing." Victoria said nervously, dropping the knife. She felt like she'd just been yelled at by her dad for breaking a vase. Annoyed with herself that Bucky had any effect on her at all. He was gone during the snap, disappearing for years after everyone was brought back, off doing his own thing. He'd only just came back a few months ago. He was the only team member she didn't know on a personal level, he was a mystery wrapped up in a sexy package. A sexy package that smelled fucking delicious, leather and citrus and expensive burbon.
Bucky made his way to the ring and climbed in. Steve made his way out and took a seat in front of the ring.
She only felt comfortable talking to a few members of the team about her personal problems. Bucky definitely wasn't one of them, he made her nervous. He was so cute and always smelled fantastic, she felt like a babbling idiot when she was around him. So she was hoping he didn't hear too much of her outburst with Steve.
Bucky knew she wasn't going to talk about it until she felt comfortable. So he lunged at her instead. Victoria ducked under his arm to get away from him, while he had his back turned she roughly kicked him in the back. He quickly spun around and swung at her again. She took a hit from him right in the ribs but used the force from the hit to push away from him. With one hand on her ribs she turned to face him again. He didn't wait, he lunged at her again, this time however she landed a kick right to his stomach. Bucky caught her ankle so she jumped up and kicked him in the throat with her other foot, making him release her leg but throwing herself. She quickly landed on one knee, her other leg extended out and steadied herself with one hand.
