Bucky and I had planned to go out the following week, but the world had other ideas. An H.Y.D.R.A. base had been discovered in Siberia with Bucky and Steve leading the task force. I was scared for Bucky. I knew this had been an old home for the Winter Soldiers.

The day the task force left was hard for me. I planned on working in my office on my assignments for the mission until they left. Come on Ema get focus. This is an easy task. The map pulled up on the screen in front of me. I stood there biting my lip and scribbling the messages on my IPad. They need you to focus. He will be fine. He's a Winter Soldier. Plus I had already seen him in his black armor today. It carved his body perfectly. Oh god, help me. When he gets back you can give him a proper homecoming involving more than, my thoughts trailed off. This wasn't helping. Now I was fidgeting with his dog tags and biting my lip. Ugh, this man is going to drive me crazy.

"So do you always bite your lip and fidget with my dog tags when your thinking?" I head him smugly ask. He was standing at my door watching me intently. His blue eyes darkening with each word he spoke.

I immediately stopped. The dog tags slipping out of my fingers as they landed back around my neck. I blushed getting caught red-handed thinking about him. "Well I was just ugh going over this code and ugh," I said trying to backtrack myself but it wasn't working. Bucky left out a chuckle.

"I do love it when you ramble and bite that lip doll." He mumbled as he kissed me on top of my head. Bucky wrapped his arms around my waist. "So anything new?" He motioned with his head toward the map.

"Just more locational hits. Looks like 35 miles northwest of the closest town. The language is Romanian and German. It tells about other Winter Soldiers, having been station there. . ." I really didn't want to tell him that part, but he needed to know. I turned to look at him.

"Well," he said calmly, "I remember the place, and if they think they are going to say those dam words so I will turn into that guy again they are going to get one hell of a fight. I spent too many years as that guy," Bucky said coldly.

I needed to do something to snap him out of this. "Hey, look at me." Bucky let go of me and stood toe and against my desk his hands resting beside him. I placed my iPad down on the desk and stepped between his legs gently stroking his face with my left hand "You are going to be fine. Plus you have two missions," he raised a curious eyebrow at me as I continued. "First, to kick butt over there and the second to get back here to me, because you owe me a date, Sargent. So get going and then come back to me in one piece."

He looked at me and smiled. "Yes ma'am," he said as he gave me a gentle slow kiss on my lips. "See you in a couple of days." James said standing up and leaving out the door while giving me butterflies.

(3 weeks later)

It had been a long three weeks. I worked numerous hours each day just to hear his voice over the radio. We had spoken several times via text and once by phone.

(Day 5)
                                         Me: I'm worried about you. Goodnight. Keep safe you.

Bucky: Good morning beautiful. I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

                                         Me: Not in my nature Barnes

(Day 12)

Buck: I miss you me more than you know. When I get back we need to talk.

                                                                  Me: Miss you too Sergeant. Why am I in trouble? I'm completely innocent.
