Winterwidow: We're the ghost story

Chapter Two: Monsters Stuck in your head

Day: 02

      The alarm clock wakes me up with a loud ring. I jump or of bed and get dressed in civilian clothes. Ready to start the day early.
Before I walk to Fury's office I go and see if Barnes is awake and ready to go.
I nock on Barnes door but now one answers. So I let myself in thinking he is still asleep.
When I walk in I am surprised to see him reading a book.
"What are you reading?", I ask.
"Just a book.", he replies.

In my head I could understand what it is to be secret like that but I guess when you don't trust anyone.
"Ready to go?", I ask.
"Yes.", he says slowly.
I walk out of the room and go to Fury's office. Expecting Barnes to follow.
We enter the office and Fury looks surprised to see us on time.
"Great , you guys actually should up on time. I don't want to keep you waiting so here are your tickets it's a half an hour drive to the airport so better get going.", says Fury.
He hands me the tickets and we go to the underground parking garage. Maria shows us to the car we will be using. We both get in the car with me in the driver seat. Then I get driving to the airport.
The drive was a quite one he didn't even say a word. When we get there we go straight to the plane. As we a board and sit down,  the silence doesn't stop.
We start to take off and I could tell Bucky was nervous by the way he griped on the seat arm.
"You ok?", I ask him not expecting an answer.
"I'm fine just not used to not being able to see where we are going from the front of the plane.", he says
The plane ride took a couple hours and then got off.
"Ahh Moscow, Russia. Reminds me of when I was a little girl growing up here.", I think to myself.
"the mission really doesn't start till tomorrow. So do you want to get something to eat, explore or check into the hotel.", I ask.
"Dinner would be nice.", he mumbles.
"Ok, I know a restaurant not to far from here we could probably walk there.", I say.
He doesn't say anything but he nods his head yes so we start walking to the restaurant.
When we arrive at the restaurant we get seated right away in the corner of the room by the window.
"What would you like to eat?", I ask.
"Don't know?", he replies as he sounds confused.
I remember how it felt when I finally got to pick what I eat. There was so many choices it was hard to pick.

"Would you like me to chose for you?", I ask weirdly.
"Sure, I'll have whatever you get.", he says.
I try not to pick anything to spicy of cold. I look trough the menu an find soup , that looks perfect to get.
I order the soup and turn to look at him .
"How's your Russian?", I ask
"Good enough to read and speak.", he answers.
"You've been to Russia before?", I say not expecting a response.
"Yes tons of times on missions but I usually go in winter not spring.", he says as he looks out the window.

"Darling it's fall not spring.", I say happily.
The waiter comes with the food and sets a bowl in front of us , Then leaves.
Barnes stairs at he bowl  for a couple minutes.
"Is something wrong?", I say as I wonder.
"No, just don't  remember the last time I ate soup.", he says before he starts to eat.
The dinner was quite but quit enjoyable. After we leave we go to check in at the hotel. We walk in the hotel and go to the front desk.

"Welcome to the settle down hotel how may I help you.", the worker at the front desk says.
"I am here to check in.  Reservations for shield.", I say.
"Yes shield, you two are in room seventeen twelve. Here's the key.", the worker says.
He hands me the key and we find the way to are room. I walk in the room surprised to see only one bed and a couch.
"You can have the bed, I am fine with the couch.", he says as he sits down on the couch and gets ready for bed.

Ready for bed I lay awake, thinking what the mission will be like tomorrow but then slowly start to dose off to sleep.
