Steve burst into the room, "We finally got Coulson on the line!"

Bucky jumped up, "Alright. Let's get this sorted out."

He and Steve dashed from the room, with Willow and Lulu following at a slower pace. "I'll be glad for things to get back to normal, won't you Willow?" Lulu asked quietly.

"Yes. I want to get back to my apartment, and see my dog again."

"Who's Sirius with?"

"Warren's girlfriend's. She's beyond suspicion, and she isn't a SHIELD agent."

Willow and Lulu followed the boys out at a much slower pace, completely missing the call with Coulson.

"Bucky? What's going on?" Willow called.

"Coulson's managed to root out any traitors in SHIELD, we just need to take them out. Then our names are cleared," Falcon answered before Bucky had time to.

An hour later Steve, Falcon, Bucky, and Lulu were all checking their weapons and getting ready to leave.

"I don't like being left behind," Willow said angrily, as she helped Bucky load and check each individual pistol. "I feel useless, I want to be going with you." Willow slapped the armrests of her wheelchair in frustration, "My whole body is a prison!"

"Hey, Willow.." Bucky knelt down so he was on her level, staring straight into her angry green eyes. "No one thinks your useless, and you are going to be helping from here," Bucky cupped Willow's face in his hands. Willow grabbed his good hand, her slender fingers twining around his rough and calloused ones.

"Come home safe Bucky. Or I'll bring you back to life just so I can kill you myself."

"I promise. I'm not going to leave you. Ever," Bucky wrapped his good arm around Willow, pulling her close.
