Final Lap - Sambucky AU

128

The Belgian Grand Prix came and gone with Bucky in first, Clara in second, and Mina in third.

Natasha didn't really care about this race result. She just wanted to go back to the ranch.

Right after the race, they had a press conference. She didn't want to participate, but everyone was shocked that she arrived and actually participated.

She sat next to Kylo as everyone was asked questions. Natasha started to bug Kylo when they asked her a question.

"Natasha, how does it feel to not be the first woman to beat your fathers record or streak?"

Natasha thought about it, and then just shrugged. "Yes I'm disappointed, but in myself. But, I will do bigger things and break bigger records." She said causally as she flicked Kylo.

He flicked her back as another question was asked. "Natasha, how come you are doing media again?"

Natasha looked at them. "Clara convinced me to come back. It's good for my image, and it helps with promoting the team. So everyone thank Clara for convincing me to show up form now on."

Kylo whispered something to her which made her chuckle as a question was directed Go Clara. "Clara, what are you doing this break?"

Clara smiled. "I will be going to America to spend the summer with the juniors in Indiana."

"Yeah, the juniors are coming over to my ranch and are gonna relax in the countryside." Bucky said as he fiddled with his bracelet as Mina was half asleep next to him.

"Mr. Barnes, when do you intend to retire!?" A question was shot out. Bucky paused as he looked at them. "Hm... Good question. I will retire when I am ready." He smirked as the room had some scattered laughter.

"Mr. Barnes, how do you feel about then backlash your daughter receives without missing a beat?" Another asked.

All eyes were on him. He looked at the teleport. "I detest people who drag my daughter in the media. There is no need... but people want a villain. You all will regret it one day."

"So, Ms. Grim Reaper... how do you feel being deemed a hero in the tabloids after saving Clara-"

"Her name... is Natasha." Clara said as she basically slammed her hand on the table. She glared at the reporter. The room went silent. Natasha looked at her shocked.

"Oh... um... I didn't know that's what was being said. I'm surprised actually." Natasha smiled to her self as the questions continued.

Eventually the meeting ended, and Natasha booked it home to pack. She was so excited to see her cousins, relax in the country side, wear comfy clothes, and just be happy for three weeks of freedom with her friends.

Bucky was equally excited. He was ready to get away from the drama of racing cars and media and ugh... everything.

Clara, Mina, Anthony, and Kylo we're going to spend the summer with them, so it was going to be fun.

Sam was just ready to be able to sit and be in peace for even just a little bit. He needed it... like bad.

The Barnes family got all packed and got changed for the airport. Darlene was so excited to have everyone all together again. So they all made it to the airport and waited for the juniors.

Kylo was the first to arrive. The it was Clara, Mina, and then Anthony. Bucky counted heads and nodded. "Alright go check in." He said as he led the charge with Sam.

Soon, they all got to their plane, boarded, and relaxed. Natasha had her AirPods in listening to country music as she daydreamed about going home. Oh she was ready.

She's was deep in her imagination of being at home when Kylo tapped her shoulder from next to her. "Hmmm?" She said.

"You ready for break?" He said excitedly.

"Oh yes." She said as she took and earbud out. He smiled a bit as he was also excited to relax and take a break. The two of them were daydreaming about being able to relax for the first time in months.

Darlene headed back to Indiana to prepare for everyone while Sam's family heads to Indiana. The racers will beat them there, but they were all just happy to see everyone again.

Natasha sat in her window seat as Kylo sat next to her, and then Clara on his other side. Behind them was Mina and Anthony.

Sam sat next to Bucky as she read a book. Bucky had his eyes closed as he sat next to Sam. He was nervous on airplanes, and Sam always knew.

Sam reached over and held his hand as he continued to read his book. Bucky squeezed his hand. "Ready to be home?" Sam asked him.

Bucky nodded a bit. "Me too." Bucky opened his eyes a bit after he calmed down and looked at Sam.

Sam lowered his book and looked at him. "Love you." Sam said quietly. Bucky smiled softly and leaned over and kissed him. "Love you too hun."

Sam smiled against the kiss. "I can't wait to get to Indiana, sleep, go dance, eat some good food, and just be able to live in peace with your for three week."

Bucky smiled a bit and nodded. "I am as well. Finally able to sleep in decently. And just not worry about the paparazzi."

Sam knew that was one of the biggest things there were going to enjoy. They were going to enjoy their privacy, and they knew the kids would as well.

"Do you think... your family will stop by?" Sam said. Bucky looked at him silently and then looked at the seat in front of him.

"I know my moms in the hospital... she doesn't want to see me. Rebecca ignores me, and my father is somewhere. So no... plus... I got my family right here." He said as he kissed his hand.

Sam rolled his eyes but then smiled softly. Bucky sighed and just closed his eyes again. "And I wouldn't have it any other way."
