We sat in silence in the small Volkswagen. Sam sat in the front while Steve drove. Bucky sat in the back with me behind Sam. I leaned my head against the window. I couldn't help but worry about what we were about to do. I closed my eyes as the pain set in from my side once again.

Bucky's eyes turned to me as I let out a silent groan. I closed my eyes tightly before opening them again. I took a deep breath and looked over at him. He stared at me with a slight concern. I could tell he was worried. I just nodded to him, letting him know I was okay. I turned back to the window just keeping myself to my thoughts.

The car pulled up in a grassy field under an overpass. I watched as Steve walked out and headed towards the car in front of us. Sharron stood by her trunk. I leaned forward and looked out the windshield of the car. It was fun to watch their interactions. I could see Steve becoming nervous around her.

"Can you move your seat up?" I heard Bucky ask Sam. The car fell silent. I shifted my eyes to Sam who just sat there with a serious face.

"No." He said sternly. Bucky let out an annoyed groan. He shifted his body over towards the middle. His arm still resting against the back of the seat. His body lingered closed to mine. I tensed up a bit at his touch.

I knew I loved Bucky, and I knew it was him now and not the Winter Soldier. However, I couldn't help but feel scared. All the pain the Winter Soldier had caused me up until this point just stuck with me. Bucky's eyes glanced over to me. I could tell he noticed my fear.

He cleared his throat as he pulled back a bit. I took a deep breath and pulled my eyes back forward. I felt bad. This moment, having Bucky back. It was all that I wanted. However, as long as the Winter Soldier was still apart of him I knew I would always hold a bit of fear.

We both looked forward. I continued to watch Steve and Sharon's interaction. It didn't take long for Steve to finally make his move. I smiled brightly as he leaned over Sharron and brought her into a kiss. Once they pulled away they chatted for a bit. Steve grabbed the stuff out of her trunk and turned to us as Sharon drove off.

His smile faded as we all stared at him. We all had the same pleased expressions on our faces. Steve rolled his eyes, annoyed at our amusement. He walked over to the car as we all got out. Steve handed Sam his stuff, before handing me Bucky and I's belongings. I placed our weapons in a bag and placed it on my back.

I looked over at Steve as he nodded to me. I took a deep breath as I locked eyes with him.

"He's going to come after you." I said. I was worried about Tony. I knew he was going to be after all of us. Do his best to do what he thought was right. Steve nodded as I pulled him into a hug. I knew this was only going to work if he didn't get caught. "Go easy on him." I whispered.
