The Angel Dressed In Black

Chapter Six

That next night Isabelle was lounging on the couch munching on some pretzels as she watched Game of Thrones. She was still only in the very first season but it already had her hooked. She was so caught up with watching it she didn't hear Bucky and Steve come in to the living room. Both super soldiers stopped talking and looked towards the couch at the sound of Isa's huff of frustration. Steve looked to the tv and shook his head slightly seeing what had her irritated, while Bucky hadn't been able to take his eyes off her yet.

"She's watching Game of Thrones...By the look of it she's only on episode 3" Steve said with a chuckle, looking back at Bucky catching him staring at the black haired woman on the couch. "Go join her Jerk; I gotta talk to Sam about something anyways"

With that Steve walked away leaving Bucky standing there completely enthralled with watching Isa. He didn't even realize he was moving towards her until he heard her speaking, even though it was directed at the television screen.

"Как ты глупый. -How stupid you are. -" She spat at the screen in Russian. "That woman is pure evil and her brother is no better."

"Hey Doll, mind if I join you" He said placing his hands on the back of the couch looking down at her.

She turned at the sound of Bucky's voice and smiled "Sure, let me just move over" She said moving so he could sit with her.

"So what is this about exactly" He asked curiously as he sat down, his eyes drifting from her to the screen.

"From what I am seeing it's Royal courtly things, sex, fighting and lots of blood" She said as she moved closer to him holding her bowl of pretzels out to him, her eyes not leaving the screen either.

He took some with no hesitation before putting his right arm across the back of the couch, trying to concentrate on the show and not on the fact that Isabelle was right next to him. Somehow though threw the course of the next few episodes, his arm had ended up around her and she was snuggled into his side. Every time she would get angry with one of the characters on the show, she would throw a pretzel at the screen which made Bucky laugh. Before long though Isabelle had started to dose off her head on Bucky's chest, not that Bucky minded as he held her close to his side.

Nat and Wanda came into the living room accompanied by Vison and Clint. All four of them stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the sight before them. The two assassins cuddled up on the couch, one fast asleep while the other watched over her. The look on Bucky's face when he looked down to check on Isa was priceless. He had this wonderstruck look in his eyes and his lips had pulled up into a small smile. Not wanting to disturb them the group backed out of the living room and headed down the hall to the kitchen as quietly as they could.

A couple of hours later Isa started to wake up, the feeling of warmth against her making her wish to stay asleep. When she opened her eyes she found herself looking up into a pair of cerulean blue eyes that looked back at her curiously. Lifting her head slowly she pushed the strands of hair out of her face, a yawn leaving her.

"How long was I out" she asked moving away from Bucky, long enough to stretch before leaning back into him again.

Bucky's heart was pounding like a freight train with her leaning into him; he was half expecting her to hear it. He took a slow breath, trying to calm his nerves "Couple of hours, I figured you needed the sleep so I didn't disturb you." He said his voice low, his eyes never leaving her face.

"Awe that was sweet of you..." She said before pulling her bottom lip into her mouth with her teeth.

There was something on her mind and she was trying to figure out how to bring it up. Bucky could see it all over her face; she got this look when she was thinking too hard. Her nose would scrunch up just the slightest bit and she would start to play with the hem of her shirt, like she was doing right now. He noticed everything she did, every slight change in posture or tone. He was so Intune to her and how she acted that he knew everyone else was starting to notice.
