Rafael's POV

"So would you be okay going back to work?" Dad asks walking into my room.

"I think I would be" I slip on my coat, "how do I look?" I do a spin.

"Perfect"

I smile happily at him.

"Would AJ be here for dinner? I want to make us something special" I start on my makeup.

He looks at me in shock, "What?"

"No, it's just that... the old you would never put any effort on cooking or looking this good"

"Oh. Is it a good change?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's pleasing. I can ask Cassandra, Benn and their children if they would like to come over?"

"That would be awesome. I didn't know they have a kid"

"They have two, they're twins and both girls" he gets up from my bed, "Emily and Alicia"

"Pretty" I look back at him, I apply some red wine lipstick by 'Poppy' to finish off the look.

"Beautiful girl" dad hugs me from behind.

"Thank you"

I come into work with a few eyes on me. I didn't entirely mind though.

"Agent Stalin" A voice says from behind, I whip my head and see Clint.

"Agent Barton" I smirk.

"You remember who I am?" He asks, I nod in response.

"You look different. Good different. The old you would hate putting that much effort looking pretty for work" he says and starts walking with me.

"Hah yeah, my dad said the same thing. Well something along those lines" I chuckle.

"I'm glad you're alive kiddo" he place an arm around me.

"Yeah?" I look at him.

"Yeah"

I sit at my desk while doing a few paper work. I put a sheet of paper back in the file and grab another file.

I open it up and instantly see a face. Bucky's face.

I look around to see if anyone was there and begin reading.

We're not allowed to do this but I need to know who he is.

"Doing some research?" Clint asks catching me red handed, I jump.

"Umm, oops? Please don't tell" I beg.

He chuckles, "I won't"

He comes around the desk, "James Buchanan Barnes"

"I need to know who he is. He was there when I woke up in the hospital and seemed offended when I didn't remember who he was" I explain.

"Yeah? Wow. I think I have your file in my pile" he says, I look at him.

"I'll go grab it" he leaves.

I stare at the picture of Bucky. He seemed very dead inside.

Clint drops the file on my desk, "it might help with what you're looking for" he smiles.

"Thank you"

"But anyways, I walked in here to see if you wanted to grab lunch?"

"Oh sure, I really need a break" I grab the two files and put them in my draw so that no one would steal them off me.

"I was thinking maybe that small cafe we usually go to?"

I look at him and think, "which one?"

"Seamus' Goodies"

"Doesn't rind a bell but I might know it when I see it?" I say more like a question.

He nods, "yeah maybe"
