But as quickly as it had begun, they pulled away, the reality of their situation crashing down around them like a wave crashing against the shore. They exchanged a lingering glance, a silent exchange of longing and regret that spoke volumes without a single word being uttered.

Clearing his throat, Bucky shifted his focus back to the road, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as they continued their drive in a heavy silence that hung between them like a shroud. But despite their best efforts to act like nothing had happened, the tension between them lingered, thick and palpable in the air.

When they finally arrived back at the Avengers Tower, they were met by Tony, who awaited them with a sense of anticipation that mirrored the gravity of the situation at hand. He held the results of Y/N's tests in his hands, his expression serious as he gestured for them to follow him back to the lab.

"We've got some important information to discuss," Tony announced, his voice tinged with urgency as he led them into the lab.

Once they were all gathered around the monitors, Tony wasted no time in delivering the news. "According to the test results, Y/N is stronger than any of us combined," he declared, his tone filled with awe and admiration.

Y/N's eyes widened in shock, her mind reeling at the magnitude of the revelation. Stronger than Wanda Maximoff? Stronger than Vision himself? It was almost too much to comprehend, a realization that sent a shiver of excitement coursing through her veins.

Bucky glanced at Y/N, a sense of pride swelling in his chest at the realization of just how remarkable she truly was. And as he reached out to squeeze her hand, a silent gesture of support and solidarity, he couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of hope for the future. Together, they would face whatever challenges came their way, stronger and more united than ever before.

The walk back to Y/N's room was shrouded in a heavy silence that hung between them like a thick fog, enveloping them in its suffocating embrace. Each step felt weighted with unspoken tension, the air crackling with the electricity of unresolved desire.

Bucky couldn't shake the memory of their kiss, the taste of Y/N's lips lingering on his own like a sweet intoxication. His mind raced with thoughts of the warmth and passion they had shared, the firestorm of sensation that had ignited between them with just a simple touch.

Y/N, too, was consumed by thoughts of their kiss, her mind awash with memories of the overwhelming desire that had coursed through her veins at the feel of Bucky's hands on her skin. She couldn't shake the memory of the heat pooling between her thighs, the undeniable fireworks that had erupted between them with just a single touch.

As they walked, Bucky found himself stealing glances at Y/N, unable to tear his gaze away from the captivating beauty that seemed to radiate from her every pore. He was mesmerized by the way her hair cascaded in soft waves around her shoulders, the way her eyes sparkled with a mixture of uncertainty and longing.

Y/N noticed Bucky's lingering gaze and felt her heart flutter in response, a rush of warmth flooding her veins at the realization that he couldn't take his eyes off her. With each passing moment, the silence between them grew louder, echoing with the unspoken words and desires that hung heavy in the air.

Finally, unable to bear the weight of the silence any longer, Y/N came to a stop, conveniently positioning herself right in front of Bucky's bedroom door. She turned to face him, her heart pounding in her chest as she stumbled over her words.

"Can we talk about what happened?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she met Bucky's gaze head-on.

Bucky's heart leaped in his chest at the sound of her voice, his mind racing with a million thoughts and emotions. He couldn't tear his gaze away from her, his admiration and longing evident in the depths of his stormy blue eyes.
