When It Rained

Chapter 48 - Blurs

Bucky was the first to step out of the car. 

As soon as he was standing, he turned offering his hand to help her out as well. For a moment, she allowed herself to look him up and down. Bucky was handsome, especially in the uniform that he was wearing at the moment. 

The guy was for sure a head turner. 

Taking his hand, the woman was lifted to her feet and the wind immediately blew her hair from her face. It was an incredible scene. There were tanks, airplanes, men in uniforms running back and forth. The entire scene looked to be chaotic. However, as soon as she was out in the open, many of them froze right where they were and stared her up and down. They eyes on her were uncomfortable, made her skin crawl.

"Ugh...?" She looked to them all as both Steve and Bucky stood by their side. 

It made them both chuckle. Then, Steve went to collect the bags and Bucky placed a claiming hand on the lower half of her back. "It's been a while since they've seen a woman. Especially one as pretty as you."

"Yeah Finley." Steve rounded the back of the car tossing her backpack to her. "You're kind of hot."

The woman was froze to her spot. "Wow. Such language Mr. Rogers." Bucky had to stop as well to look at his friend.

"What?" The super soldier shrugged his shoulders. "You know it's true, and you have to get used to compliments Finn."

By now, Bucky had interjected as they all walked forward. "Let's not get too used to it."

Finley turned around with a smile. "Feeling a little competition Buck?" This was a new confident side to Steve that they hadn't seen before. Honestly, it was making their day. Now however,  she decided to play along with Steve. "I mean you probably should, look at him." Entering the building, the three of them busted into laughter. "Science made him hot."

Leaning down to her ear, Bucky grinned before stomping forward with his friend. "It's a good thing yours is biological. "

"There she is!" Howard's voice echoed across the hanger. "How are you beauti-"

With her normal deviant smile, Finley tossed her backpack into his chest and took a seat on the counter. "It's good to see you too Howie."

Bucky stepped forward and shook his hand, along with Steve,  but couldn't help but keep his eyes on Finley.  Howie?

Adjusting the attention back to himself, Howard set her backpack on the couch to his left. "I hope the drive wasn't too long."

Finley's attention went to her hands.  "It wasn't bad." Then, with a breath, she looked to her right watching Bucky take a seat on the counter beside her.

Suddenly, the door on the other side of the room cracked open. "We both know that's bull." Peggy smiled to the other woman. "I've sat through that ride before."

It was a relief to see another female around. So, nodding in appreciation- Finley grinned. "Sweetheart, if that ride was the biggest problem you got right now, I better start calling you princess."

Peggy smiled back before taking Steve's side. The boy was on her faster than Finley had ever seen before. "The ride honestly wasn't bad at all, thank you for arranging that." 

This made both Bucky and Finley crack up. Their friend sent them a look, and they contained it for a second- however, as soon as he turned away, they were back to it. Steve wasn't exactly the smoothest with the ladies. "I guess that's a lesson I probably should have taught."
