Y/N's woken up suddenly by banging on her cabin door. She rolls over and checks her watch which reads around 5 in the morning. She groans and gets out of bed, throwing on a jacket to cover herself, and shelter her from the cold as she makes her way to the front door. He opens it to be met with the faces of Bucky and Curt.

"Somebody better be dying", she says a little raspy. Her slight hangover was the one to blame this time.

"You told me to wake you up whenever we have a mission", John raises his hands in defense.

"And I'm starting to regret that decision because its 5 in the Morning John."

"We're leaving in 30 and I know you like to say bye to the guys before they take off so..."

"Right, yeah, of course", She rubs her eyes and looks at Curt smiling. "Good morning Curt."

"Morning Angel."

"Hey, no good morning for me?", Bucky complains.

"I'll be out in 20", she says before closing the door on him, not answering the question and walking over to her dresser. She hears the laugh of Curt directed towards Bucky while she grabs her uniform she folded neatly the night before. She gets changed and goes to the bathroom, brushing her hair and teeth to make herself look presentable. She makes her way out of her cabin and heads to the main base on foot. She's greeted by the friendly and smiling faces of the squad while she makes her way through the building and to the airstrip.

"Hey, Y/N", She's stopped by a voice with a tinge of nervousness. She turns around to see who it was and smiles.

"Oh, hey Crosby", She notices him dressed up in his gear. "Are you flying today?"

"Yeah..."

"Hey, you'll do great." She says comfortingly. "Plus, if you're taking bubbles spot then you're bound to be a great navigator", she hits his hat down over his face. "Have fun Cros".

He fixes his hat and nods slightly, "Thank you."

That's when she hears the sound of a jeep horn honking behind her. She shakes her head and roll her eyes with a slight smile. She turns around to face John and Gale, arms hanging out of the doors.

"Need a ride sweetheart?" John calls out with his signature smile. He's wearing his pilot attire with his sunglasses. Could he get any more good looking? My god.

"I think I'd rather walk", she says casually crossing her arms over her chest.

"Y/N if you don't get in I'm gonna have to listen to him whine over the radio for the next 2 hours", Buck says.

Bucky turns to him quickly and hits his chest which made him grunt slightly. "I do not whine."

"Bucky, I didn't know you whined", she says adding to the teasing.

"I don't!" He complained. "And I'm also not supposed to be ganged up on either."

"Alright, fine I'll get in, but only for Buck since he gave me more insight on you."

Buck chuckles as Bucky shakes his head. She hops in the backseat of the jeep and turns towards Crosby. "I'll see you when you get back!", she waves to him and blows him a kiss before Bucky steps on the gas and were driving down the airstrip. The wind is hitting her face while her hair blows in all directions. So much for brushing it. She leans her head back against the seat enjoying the view of the sky and the smell she's become so accustomed to. We pull up the Buck's plane and he hops out. She looks up at him and smiles. "Make sure to come back in good condition or Marge will kill me."
