Lyras P.O.V
I never got back to sleep after everyone left so I got up and decided to grab something to drink. It wasn't until I opened the fridge door to grab a glass of water I turned around and there was Bucky.
"Oh my god!"
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you"
"Well announce yourself next time, or cough or something"

"Aren't you a trained S.H.I.E.L.D agent? Trained by Natasha no less"
"Yes and?"
"Well shouldn't you have been able to sense that someone else was here?"
"Well excuse me for having my guard down, didn't know I needed it in my own home at 3:30 am" he got closer to me

"You should never have your guard down,  you never know when someone could come attack you. Your a Stark people want Tony dead and by extension you." I took a deep breath
"Thank you for that"
"No problem" he stepped back and started to walk away. I got an idea and went for a punch but he caught me and flew me back and onto the floor.

"Nice try"
"It was worth a shot"
"This was fun, we should try this again sometime."
"Ok that's what you say at the end of a date or hanging out with a friend not when you just tackled someone to the ground."  He rolled his eyes
"Do you Starks just have a unlimited amount of sarcasm and sass built up and ready to come out at any moment?"
"You have no idea" I said with a smile then I got up
"Well this was eye opening thank you for the lesson Bucky" I grabbed my glass and headed back to my room
"Same time next week?"
"Sounds like a plan!" I shouted back I went to sleep easily after that. It was the water that helped or so I'm telling myself.

Buckys P.O.V
I got out of bed after having another restless sleep, the night wasn't too terrible Lyra did provide some good company. I must have looked how I felt because Steve came up to me while I was having breakfast and said
"You didn't get any sleep last night?"
"No not for a few days now"
"Days?"

"It goes on and off, someone nights I'll get a few hours" Steve sighed
"There's nothing you can do to help"
"I know and I hate it"
"It's fine Steve"
"You seemed to help Lyra though" I didn't say anything I just took a drink of orange juice.
"You seem comfortable around her, it's nice to see that"
"She understands me, she's been through it too"
"Plus she's pretty right?" I almost chocked on my juice

"Didn't we talk about this?" I asked
"No we didn't but I'm gonna guess that it's somewhere along the lines of you can't be with her, it's too dangerous, she deserves someone better right?"
"Well I killed her father for one imagine what she's gonna be like when she finds out."
"She will understand"
"Oh really?" I stood up "Hi Lyra how's it going? Having a good day? That's great oh by the way I killed your father see ya around" I sat back down again
"Ok she might be a little upset"
"A little? Tony ripped off my arm when he found out"

"But he got you a new one!"
"Yeah let's see how long that lasts" Steve sighed
"Look both me and Nat agree that she's good for you."
"Yeah and look at what happens to people I care about. She's safer without me, hell shes safer with you"
"She's Tony's sister sooner or later people are gonna find that out and they are gonna come after her, it doesn't matter who she is or isn't with." I sighed

"That's what I told her last night, that she better be careful because people are gonna come after her"
"Last night?"
"Yeah after everyone left, she couldn't get back to sleep so she went to the kitchen and she saw me actually I scared her"
"Buck-

"I was just standing there! Sorry if she wasn't on her guard or not"
"What happened?"
"Nothing we talked I told her to be on the lookout then she went to bed" Steve sighed then multiple people came running down the stairs.

"Woah what's going on?" Steve asked
"HYDRA agents" Natasha said I immediately got up and followed everyone
"What about Lyra?" Bruce asked
"Well she's not coming with us" I said
"Why not?" Thor asked
"Well it's too dangerous she could get hurt" I said when we got to the jet
"You seem to care a lot about her safety" Natasha said
"Sorry if I don't want someone I just met yesterday dying." I responded
"I'll call Sam from the air, he can look after her" I nodded
"Yeah like she's gonna enjoy being babysat" Natasha said Tony them came into the jet
"Who won't enjoy being babysat?"
"Lyra" Natasha said

"Well she's not coming with us"
"See" I said
"Guys she's a highly trained S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Does that mean nothing to you? I trained her myself, I trust her out on the field as much as any one of you."
"It's too dangerous, HYDRA could take her again." Tony said
"They could take Bucky too!" Natasha said pointing to me.
"Terminator here has taken down every one of us I'm sure he can take a few HYDRA agents"
"I don't understand that reference" I said
"I do!" Steve said I looked at him

"It's a movie, the terminator is a cyborg assassin sent back in time to kill someone who's sons will save the world from a post apocalyptic world" I looked at him.
"Is this really the time?"
"You said you didn't understand it"
"That didn't mean you had to go into a summery about it!"

"Hey Bert, Ernie, stop fighting and get in your sets" Tony shouted from the pilots seat
"So what about Lyra?" Natasha asked
"She's staying" Tony said starting the jet
"Everyone here thinks she should come except for you and Bucky how is that fair?"
"Because she's my sister" Natasha sighed and sat down
"Fine but someone else is gonna have to deal with her when we come back."
