We spent a long time at SWORD headquarters doing everything we could to help the hostages. Bucky and I were adjusting still, but Anthony was doing perfectly fine, which made us happy. Anthony and Darcy bonded right away. It warmed our hearts that people were getting to know our son. To calm ourselves down, Bucky and I had our date night, and we had Darcy babysit Anthony.
We decided to go to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and then we found a romantic pavilion and slow danced. I was in pure bliss. Bucky wore a tuxedo that made him look even more attractive, and I wore a white evening gown that had a hint of sparkle. It was just like our wedding all over again, and what made it even better was that it was our anniversary. There was a jazz band to the side of the pavilion playing the most romantic music, and it made the ambiance even more incredible. "I'm having a wonderful time. I always do when I'm with you." I leaned my head against his shoulder. Bucky smiled and gave a soft chuckle, "Ditto," he hugged me. "Even though we've been married for seven years, it still feels like yesterday when we had our wedding in Wakanda," he recalled happily. "That was a magical night, and we are still going strong."
I looked into his eyes, and everything around us seemed to fade ways; that always happened when we were together. "We have a wonderful son and a wonderful life. I love you." he stroked my face, and he kissed me. "I love you, always and forever." I returned the kiss. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Barnes." I flirted in a transatlantic accent. He smiled his breathtaking smile, "Happy anniversary, Mrs. Barnes." we kissed once again, celebrating our seven beautiful years of being husband and wife. Bucky and I had been through a lot together, and I'm grateful those times brought us closer together.
As we were walking back to headquarters, the red barrier around West View began to glitch again, and it spat out another woman trapped inside. Bucky and I ran to her aid to make sure she was okay. There were no signs of injury, but she was shocked. SWORD agents came to help too. The woman wore a white, black, and blue 70s outfit and had a sword necklace around her neck. She looked dazed and scared, and I'll never forget what she said, "It's all Wanda."
