Breathing in his scent, you tightened your arms around him and pressed yourself closer to his chest. You felt him tighten his hold in response and sigh deeply before kissing your forehead and pulling back to look you in the eyes.

"Shauna, I..." he trailed off, still gazing into your eyes.

"I know Bucky, me too" you replied lovingly before kissing him quickly.

You both pulled apart, rested your foreheads against each other and said in unison "I love you and I trust you". It was a sort of tradition to bring luck whenever you went on missions together and you need it today more than ever.

"Everyone ready?" Steve called through the earpieces you had already been given. Both you and Bucky replied affirmatively and left the room, heading towards the jet.

Your day job was saving the planet and everyone on it but today felt like there was a whole other level of responsibility. Since meeting the Guardians of the galaxy, as they called themselves, you'd all been dragged into the bigger picture and it was still taking some getting used to. Since Thanos became a threat, you'd been training with Steve, Bucky, Sam and T'Challa - all of you hidden away in Wakanda. It wasn't until more recently, when you'd heard of the aliens Thanos was bringing with him that Natasha, Rhodey, and Bruce had joined you.

Today is the day all the training had led up to though. Today is the day you go up against Thanos. Today is the day you might lose Bucky; and that thought scared you more than you'd ever been scared in your life.

You'd always fought well as a team and that wasn't going to stop now - no matter how much you don't want to fight. There's not just you to think about anymore, there's the little baby growing inside you. The little baby that Bucky has no idea exists.

You'd only found out yesterday and you knew that if you told him, there's no way you'd be going out to fight. You'd had your suspicions and Bruce confirmed it for you last week in the medical centre in Wakanda. But you also knew that they needed you, the world needed you and there was no way you could justify not helping. You promised yourself that as soon as it was all over you'd tell him and that after that you'd stop fighting, look after yourself and your baby.

The pair of you stepped onto the jet, side by side and took your place in the group.

"Right everyone should know the plan, anyone need me to go over it?" Steve asked looking at all of you with tired eyes. You all shook your heads and looked at each with tense smiles.

"One last thing, Shauna, as far as we know, Thanos has never seen you fight - let's use that to our advantage." You nodded and flashed a genuine smile and everyone chuckled a little, breaking the tense atmosphere in the jet.

"Alright, then let's go." And with that, you took off.

It was a brutal fight, the worst you'd ever been in, the worst any of you have ever been in. But you still hadn't changed. After what Steve had said earlier about Thanos not having seen you fight, you'd made a mental note to transform as late as possible.

Most people would never guess from looking at you that you were a shapeshifter. More specifically a wolf shapeshifter - meaning you could completely transform into a wolf. It had shocked the whole team when you first joined but the only person who wasn't at all apprehensive was Bucky, and you've always been grateful for that.

Snapping your attention back to the fight, you quickly took a mental note of how everybody was coping. It wasn't good.

You knew you had to change now, otherwise the team would never win, but for the first time ever you were scared to transform. What about the baby? What would it do to them?
