"How's she doing?" Steve asks as Bucky walks into the kitchen dressed in his pyjamas.

"I don't know but she seems fine." He says as he walks to the fridge.

"When do you think she'll wake up? It's been more than a week." Steve says as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"I honestly have no idea. It better be soon because I'm starting to worry." Bucky says as he rubs his eyes and yawns. He takes the toast he placed in the toaster and puts it on a plate before buttering it and picking the plate up. "I'm gonna go check up on her."

"Alright." Steve says as Bucky walks out of the kitchen and towards your bedroom. He opens the door and walks in, he walks over to you and kisses you on the cheek.

"Morning, doll." He says as he grabs the TV remote from your nightstand, he sits on the hanging seat in the corner and turns on the TV. He turns on the news and watches intently while taking small bites of his toast.

"Over the next week in New York the temperatures will drop to about minus 40 degrees. So wear your warmest clothes and get your hot chocolate ready for what could be the coldest month in the last 20 years." The reporter says as Bucky picks the remote up and changes the station.

He keeps flipping through the stations before he shoots his head towards you. Your body stirs and you grumble, he puts the plate on your night stand as he makes his way towards you.

"Y/N?" He asks as he hesitates. Your eyes shoot open and you gasp for air. You look around while breathing heavily.

"Bucky?" You ask as you prop yourself onto your elbows and look into his crystal eyes.

"It's me. It's ok." He says as he wraps his arms around you and you lean into his chest. "Where were you?" He let's go but keeps his hands on your shoulders.

"I went to see my ancestors. I needed answers, and help." You turn your head and look out the window at the sunrise. You lower your head and look at the locket on your neck. "Can I trust you?"

"Of course." He furrows his brows.

"If they get me. If they use the black staff on me. Promise. You'll use this to break me from the spell. If it doesn't work." You pause. "Promise you'll kill me." You look into his eyes and he looks at you shocked. You move your hand over the bed making a golden staff with the white and blue flecked crystal placed on top appear.

"I-I." He gets stuck on his words.

"Please?" You cup his cheek with your right hand and he places his hand on top of yours, piercing you with his cold touch you ignored it.

"Ok." His voice cracks and you close your eyes and rest your forehead on his.

"I love you." You say barely over a whisper. He places his hand on your cheek and you rest your head in it, he kisses your forehead and you open your eyes to see his crystal ones with tears threatening.

"I love you too." His voice cracks again and you smile reassuringly before placing your lips on his, you pull away and look around your room. "Are you hungry? Maybe thirsty?" He asks as he gets up off the bed.

"No, but I do need to shower." You crawl off the bed and walk towards your bathroom.

"Ok, I'll go tell the others you're awake." He smiles and you give a small smile back before closing the door.

——————————

You walk out of the bathroom dressed in a towel as you play with your wet hair, you flick your fingers making your bedroom door shut. Changing into an oversized light pink jumper and black leggings you slip on a pair of black slippers and walk out the door.

"You look comfortable." Wanda smiles as she walks out of her room behind you.

"Wanda!" You smile and run towards her giving her a tight hug.

"It's so good to see you're awake." She smiles and you nod.

"I'm glad to be back." She smiles and you both walk towards the living area where everyone was gathered. You sit down next to Bucky and he wraps his arm around you as you lean into his body.

"Nice to see you again lady Y/N." Thor says from the other side of the room.

"Good to see you too, Thor." You smile and he nods his head.

"Guys we've got an emergency mission!" Tony runs past the open archway before coming back and peeking his head around the corner. "Oh hi Y/N." He smiles. "Suit up everybody!" He yells before running off again.

"I wonder what this is about." Natasha says as you all get up.

"I have a feeling I know what it is." You say under your breath as you walk towards your room. Closing the door behind you, you snap your fingers making your mission outfit appear on your body. You look in the mirror above your dresser and at the locket on your neck. "We can do this." You tell yourself as you hold the small heart in your hands, your eyes move to the sphere sitting at the edge of your dresser. "To the moon and back." You breathe out and walk out the door.

"Ready?" Bucky asks as he walks out of his room and shuts the door. You look around then place your hands on his chest, you push him through his door and into his room. "What the?" He asks confused as he try's to balance himself.

"If anything happens. Remember." You place your hand out in front of you with your palm facing the roof, the golden staff from earlier appeared and the crystal glistened from the light that came through the window. "Remember what I told you." You hand him the staff.

"What happens if they get you?" He asks as he looks at the crystal.

"Get close enough that you can touch the two crystals together. The power of the two together should break the spell but if you can't do it... let it touch my forehead and it'll instantly kill me." You look into his eyes and he furrows his brows.

"I won't let that happen." He shakes his head softly and you step towards him and place your hand on his arm.

"But if it does. You have to do it. For the world. For the universe." A small tear runs down your cheek and so does his, your lips connect before pulling away. You wave your hand over the staff and it turns into a small button. "Press this when you need it and it'll appear in your hands." He nods and you place your index finger and middle finger on his forehead, his eyes go back and you both teleport into the Quinjet.

"Woah!" Sam jumps as Bucky appears on the seat next to him shaking his head and trying to catch his balance. "Where'd you come from?" He furrows his brows and you comb your fingers through your hair.

"Is everybody ready?" Steve says as he boards the jet. Everyone nods. "Alright, lets go."
