Chapter 24

*SMUT*

Bucky's Birthday

The team arrived back at the compound and evaluated the data they retrieved during the mission.

"Emma," Tony looked over at her, "What other powers do you have that you and Wanda have been working on?"

"Fire. Reading minds. Energy blast. Wanda's are red but mine are green. I can alter the reality around us if needed. All the super solder stuff. Oh, and I'm fireproof," Emma sat there looking off into the distance, "I think that's it. For now, at least."

Wanda laughed, "So far that's all I've uncovered. She learned fast how to control the fire."

Bruce looked at Emma, "Emma, does the fire come from your eyes? Your hands? How does that work?"

They were all seated around the conference table talking when Emma showed Bruce, "From my hands." Emma lit up the room with a small fireball in her right hand. She kept it under control as she rotated her hand around the flame.

Bruce smiled, "That's why your core temp gets hot."

Emma looked at him, "Yeah. Wanda helped me figure out how to control that. No more ice-cold showers to cool me off."

Steve smiled, "Excellent. This data is great." Steve rummaged through the papers that Wanda grabbed.

Emma looked over at Tony, "Are we done? I could really use a shower and a nap."

Tony looked at Steve, "Good?"

"Yeah. We got this." Steve smiled at her.

"Thanks. I'll be in the shower. She smiled at Bucky who knew what she meant."

Nat yelled, "Emma! Wait. Are you up for a movie night?"

"Yeah! That sounds great." Emma held the door open as she spoke, "How about right after dinner?"

Nat agreed and then the rest of the team started piping up, "Fine. You can all join us. In the movie room. I'm not cramming into Emma's room again."

Emma walked off and Bucky followed close by, "Em."

She slowed down and walked with him to the elevator, "Yes, my love?"

He grabbed her and pulled her close, "I love you."

"I love you, too. Join me in the shower." Emma stepped onto the elevator and Bucky joined her.

Emma walked into her room and directly into the bathroom. She turned on the shower and striped down to nothing and threw her clothes in the basket. She saw Bucky walk in and smile at her and then his face dropped, "Sweetheart."

He walked over to Emma and looked at her shoulder, "Oh. I guess a bullet got through my shield or maybe it was right before I got it up. I'm okay. Just a flesh wound."

Bucky took off his clothes and led her into the shower, "Make sure you see Bruce about it."

"I'm fine Bucky. It will heal. Super soldier. Remember?" Emma smiled at him.

"You are amazing."

"No. I'm just a science experiment," she shook off the statement and put her head under the water and closed her eyes.

Bucky watched her body language change in an instant, "Emma?"

Bucky put his arms around her waist and turned her to face him. He saw the ice-cold emptiness behind her eyes. He said her name again and she didn't answer. She looked into his eyes and tilted her head as she brought her hands up to his chest, "Winter? Where am I?"
