when felicia notices the ring natasha’s eyeing, a bright smile crosses her lips. although she didn’t know bucky well or at all really, she could definitely see him wearing a ring like that. it definitely went with his whole metal arm aesthetic. “i can do a simple N, that’s no problem. and yes, i do. honestly, it’s really pretty. simple but elegant… he doesn’t seem like the type to want anything flashy.” the blonde’s happily grabbing it and handing it off to one of the employees to get it engraved in the back room. honestly, the gesture alone was enough to make felicia whimsical about love— something she hadn’t encountered in a very long time. to see someone so subtly but madly in love with someone made her ache for someone of her own but for the time being, she simply liked being able to help create memories for others. “if you don’t mind me asking, how long have you guys been together?”

the more she looks at the ring, a wave of missing him cements her body into the spot where she’s stood. she was aware their relationship spanned beyond something as silly as a marriage certificate which is why she wanted to give him something tangible to keep with him, to remind him of her, what they’d been through, and that despite it all she had always been his. “yeah, that’s my guy,” she says with a nod of her head, slight smirk shaping to her features. just as soon as she’d picked the ring it was off to get the engraving, and the sentiment felt all the more real to her. she’s aware there is so much more going on to be worried about but in this single selfish moment she can’t think of anyone but james. the question causes a brow to raise. “at this point, it feels like forever.” there’s a brief moment where it dawns on her that it was never something they’d kept track of. forces here and there trying to keep them apart seemed to have made the task a little more difficult than the average romance. “i guess we don’t have a very conventional timeline of our relationship. i just know that... ever since i met him, all those years ago, i knew i was his.”

I never even realized how lost I was without her; but I always was. Just some lost soldier who forgot he ever had a home… until she gave me one.

“  i don’t need grand gestures or declarations of love. i just need you. all of you.  ” - from bucky.

teeth are sinking into her lesser lip in an attempt to stifle the grin that threatens to shape to her features. there’s a brief moment where nat’s thinking back to the ring box that had been occupying the top drawer of her nightstand for nearly a week now, though his words don’t lessen how much she wants to give it to him. it was nat’s way of symbolizing that despite all they’d been through, they found a way back to one another, and like this they’d stay. “you have all of me. forever and a day, james.” a gentle kiss is pressed to the dip in his collarbone before teeth are sinking into the flesh, a playful nip to follow. “you’re stuck with me.”

“  you deserve good things.  ” - from tony.

there’s a slight smirk forming to her features, unable to take the other seriously. it’s something she’s picked up all these years, learning to shove away trauma and anything truly raw and real aside and opting for something that won’t pose any concern to others. but working alongside tony all these years had made that a bit difficult for the assassin. despite how hard she tried. “thank you, tony.” in the silence that settles between them, nat can feel her heart begin to race a bit. “good things come to those who wait, right?” a few beats pass before she’s lifting her shoulders in a shrug. “i’d say the same to you but you’re clearly a glutton for punishment. i don’t think we’ve gotten a chance to discuss this but — emma fucking frost?”

“  will you just…hold me? please.  ” - wanda !

there’s no reaction other than natasha’s arms enveloping the other. she doesn’t pretend to know what it’s like to go through what wanda has in the past year - only offers herself up as support whenever the other may need it. “yeah, wanda, no problem.” slight concern etches itself onto her features but natasha’s hold on the other never falters. “you okay?”

“ i trust you. more than anyone else. ” ( clint 2 nat )

“ditto,” it’s said through a mouth half full of lo mein as her chopsticks go in for another round. eyebrows knit for a brief moment, the other’s tone causing concern in the redhead. “you alright, barton?” fingers cease their movement momentarily to poke him in the cheek with the utensils. “and don’t bullshit me. i’ll know.” ​

she’s quick to reach for natasha’s hand, shaking it firmly and offering her a smile. “please, call me felicia.” the idea of a wedding band is extremely romantic to felicia— despite being single (by choice, of course), there’s still a very repressed hopeless romantic trapped inside her so of course, she’s more than willing to help. “well, miss romanoff, i think i have quite the thing for you.” the blonde’s leading her over towards the side of the large display, motioning towards a few different wedding bands. “i’m always down to customize them and make them your own if that’s something that you’d be interested in. like… is there a special date between the two of you? i could have it engraved on the inside with that or initials. honestly, anything you’d like to add a personal touch and i’m on it.”

while the missing persons had been in the forefront on her mind, natasha couldn’t shoo away the gnawing feeling of just how badly she’d missed james. the gift was something she’d been wanting to give him for a while, something that popped into her mind the moment the two realized they were free to be together. it was unspoken, but he was it for her. he had been, even all those years ago. there would be no more memory erasing, no more fighting unless it was on their own accord. and that meant the world to her. he meant the world to her. “i’d love to see what you have then, felicia,” there’s still a taste of familiarity as the name rolls off her tongue but natasha was far too sleep deprived to wrack her brain for just how she may know the other. she takes a few steps toward the display case the blonde is motioning her toward, and natasha can already see a band that she likes. to her, this symbolized so much more than just marriage. truthfully, to say the two were simply married almost felt like a poor underestimation of what they had together. “i like that one,” she gestures to a blank band with a single line of silver detailing. “i think — just, an N engraved inside would suffice. do you think he’ll like it?”

Being this lost in a case was terrible, but it felt a little less terrible when even the Natasha Romanoff didn’t know what else to do. If they were completely out of options, then maybe it was time to take Pietro’s questionable ideas into consideration. “C’mon, you haven’t even heard the idea. It could be genius. Could be brilliant.” He pretended to be offended by Natasha’s quick judgement, only to confirm her suspicions with his next sentence. “Yeah, a tagret on one’s back could be a problem… Unless we happened to have a mutant who is particularly good at escaping a bad situation. At the speed of sound.” Pietro slid a donut towards Nat, almost like a peace offer so she would at least think about it. While knowing perfectly well that she wouldn’t. “And, worst case scenario, a guy in the inside would be very, very useful. Hypothetically speaking.”

nat can only eye the other though heavy lids ( she hasn’t been sleeping since the news of the disappearances broke ) and offers a shrug. the donut is happily accepted, the bright pink sprinkles looking especially enticing to someone whose last few meals have consisted of peanut butter sandwiches. “alright... ignoring the fact that we don’t know what... or who we’re up against aside, what they have the capacity to do... i’ll humor you. because it looks like you’re the only one with any ideas on how to move forward. hey, maybe if it’s good enough i’ll bring it up the ladder to stark.” she’s aware that tony wouldn’t even be able to give her an answer considering he’d be laughing his ass off, but she figures if the speedster could potentially have something they could work with... hell, why not?

plotted   starter   for   @ofwolvesandgirls​  !

                    𝙸𝚃  𝙸𝚂𝙽’𝚃  𝙳𝙸𝙵𝙵𝙸𝙲𝚄𝙻𝚃  𝚃𝙾  𝙵𝙸𝙽𝙳  𝙷𝙴𝚁.     not  for  him  and  certainly  not  when  she  is  willing  to  be  found  lounging  during  some  rare  downtime.     a  little  over  a  month  has  passed  since  he  had  last  been  stateside  —  since he  had  last  seen  her  or  steve,  or  anyone  else  who  would  claim  to  care  for  him.     flying  under  the  radar,  far  away  from  a  government  he  is  so  sure  would  put  him  in  a  cage.     all  the  while,  hunting  down  hydra  …  burying  the  guilt  he  feels.     he  probably  would  have  stayed  in  ukraine  longer,  there  were  still  things  to  be  taken  care  of  over  there,  but  the  missing  mutants  are  a  larger  concern.     one  he’s  been  out  of  the  loop  on.     carving  a  path  of  vengeance  to  ease  his  own  guilt  will  just  have  to  wait.

                    ❝  natalia.  ❞          he  calls,  go-bag  dropping  by  the  front  door  that  is  gently  closed  behind  him.     little  time  is  wasted  seeking  the  redhead  out;  even  as  he’s  dodging  not  one,  but  two  cats  weaving  about  his  legs.     it  is  only  when  blue  hues  are  set  on  the  woman  in  question  that  he’s  reminded  just  how  much  he  missed  her.     all  those  years  forced  apart  that  should  have  made  it  easier  to  bear,  truly  only  made  it  far  worse.     a  few  strides  and  he  is  across  the  room  and  before  her  …  eager  to  have  her  in  his  arms  again.          ❝  hey,  doll,  cut  my  trip  a  little  early.     thought  you  could  use  a  little  backup.  ❞

it wasn’t rare for natasha to pour herself into her work. to give herself up fully for the cause. she was doing so now more than ever for a bit of a selfish reason. if not cross referencing files from xavier’s to reports of the disappearances, she’s fighting away thoughts of her love, and how badly it hurt in the pit of her stomach not to have him by her side. no one understood better than james how it felt to watch your life unravel from the sidelines, to not be in control of what you do or where you go. who you love. there were times their memories of one another were swiped from them completely simply to spite the other, as if they were nothing more than pawns for someone else to command. now free of these restraints, she ached for him more than ever. 

but there was far too much to be done. and her thoughts of missing him had to take a back burner. as hard as it was to do so.

until she’s roused from her accidental nap by the feeling of liho’s slender frame sliding from her grasp. alpine is soon to follow, tails in the air and ears perked and curious. she attempts to narrow her gaze in their direction to see what could’ve gotten their attention but a familiar tone calling to her from the foyer is enough to disarm the fight or flight instincts that had muscles tense. there’s a few silent moments that pass in which she is struck by disbelief, not even him coming into view was enough to make this feel real. 

there’s something magnetic in the way her frame is quick to leap into his arms, not a second thought about it occupying her mind. head of red hair is buried in the crook of his neck, swimming with the familiar scent she could only label as home. pulling away from him to get a better look at his face, natasha can just barely hold back the grin that makes its way to her features. hands are combing through the lengthy locks, gripping at his hair gently as she places their foreheads together. “you know me too well,  barnes...” she trails off, meeting him halfway in a kiss. 

it’s short lived for her liking, but they have plenty of time to look forward to. finally. her arms are latched around his neck now, eyes still grazing over his features. “i’ve missed you, james.” they had won. torn apart more times than they could count, in this moment it is clear that there was little in the universe that could keep them from coming back to one another. and that in a world of uncertainty there was one thing natasha always knew: that he loved her, and that she was completely, and irrevocably his.

partyhcrdy​:

at first glance, felicia’s unsure of who exactly it is setting foot in her store but once she really gets a good look at her, her jaw drops slightly. “natasha romanoff… wow, i’m a big fan. sorry, i don’t normally fangirl like that.” the blonde catches herself with enough time to correct herself, standing up a little straighter. “unfortunately, much like you and everyone else in this city… i haven’t heard or seen much going down. i fear a lot of us are hitting dead ends.” the words seem so hollow and it’s enough to make felicia briefly question just how desensitized they all had to be after so much insurmountable pain and grief. “but if i hear or find anything out, i’ll definitely give you a call.” she tries to keep it vague, not wanting to reveal herself to the black widow who she was- who knew what the damn avengers had on her at this point? when the redhead mentions men’s wedding bands, felicia’s curiousity can’t help but be piqued. “we do. are you planning on proposing to a lucky fella, miss romanoff?”

the blonde’s answer doesn’t pose much of a surprise to natasha. her head shakes as the realization sinks in - that even for a spy, getting information on the disappearances were going to be a lot harder than anticipated. “well, i appreciate your help. miss...” she pauses momentarily, remembering the name from the signage outside. “hardy. it’s nice to meet you.” offering out a hand, natasha’s lips curl into a smirk at the other’s question. she wasn’t planning on a proposal, per se. she’s always been his, and sure as hell didn’t need a proposal or a piece of paper for that to remain true. natasha thought of it as a symbol of the unabating love and loyalty she’s had for james since they met all those years ago. that no matter what they’d been through, be it brainwashing or otherwise, at the end of the day she would choose him. always. “something like that...” she trails off, not wanting to reveal too much. “kinda something i should’ve done a long time ago. do you have anything... super simple? just a band. no bells and whistles.”

So far, Pietro had been a part of a few missions to find the missing mutants, but every operation had ended how it started: no clues, no leads, no hope. Currently, there was nothing for Pietro to do about it, and he hated waiting. He felt like he knew every corner  of NYC by now, going from one place to the other and searching for ways to keep himself busy. He ended up taking a break in a cozy café that had some delicious donuts, sitting down with some cinnamon glazed wonders and trying to think of something to speed things up. “If nothing is working so far, isn’t it time to make some bolder choices? Every time I have an idea, people say it’s too impulsive, too risky or too illegal, but I don’t see why that would make them bad ideas.”

natasha has been wracking her brain since the disappearances began, nearly exhausting all options when it came to looking for answers. she had been trained for this - seeking answers and going to great lengths to get the information she needed. and time and time again she came up empty. it was beginning to seem like whoever was taking these individuals were more than just rookies, aware of how to cover their tracks to keep the likes of the avengers off their tail. and it was infuriating. she catches the tail end of pietro’s words as she comes to from a spiral into her frustrations. “because they aren’t bad. i think stupid is the word you’re looking for,” she comments before taking a sip of her coffee. “also a sure-fire way to put a target on your back. the last thing we need is one of our own getting snatched up.” jokingly, nat then purses her lips. “actually, it couldn’t hurt to have a guy on the inside, since you’re so antsy.” the redhead nudges the other with her elbow. 

[ofwolvesandgirls]

partyhcrdy​:

it’s nearing closing time and while felicia’s usually not at the store this late, she’d decided to fill in for one of the other clerks— she was feeling generous. the blonde’s sitting near the back, perfectly manicured nails typing away at an expense report when she hears the familiar bell of the door. she perks up instantly, putting on her best smile; with all the heightened emotions surrounding the missing mutants people, it seemed like everyone was buying jewelry or getting engaged. something about people going missing seemed to really spark panic over losing loved ones, it seemed. “welcome to the hardy gems– can i interest you in something extra special tonight? we have some killer rubies on sale, if you’re interested.”

just as she suspected, another day searching for any information that could lead her investigation in the right direction came up fruitless. she’d spent the better part of the afternoon asking around the many businesses that lined the streets of new york city for any information available about the disappearances. it was far too broad of a lead to follow and she can hear steve’s voice in the back of her mind reminding her of this, but she figured with zero leads, they didn’t get to be choosy with where they started. the bright lights of a jewelry store catch her attention, the name on the sign sparking slight familiarity but not one she could recall in the present moment. 

slipping in through the doorway, she does a quick scan of the perimeter only to find that she and the shop owner were alone. when she mentions the sale, natasha’s gaze drops to the glass display cases that separated them. “they’re beautiful,” a halfhearted smile forms to her features. “i was actually going to ask if you had any information on the recent disappearances that have been happening around this area. seen something strange, any new faces around the city...” the redhead trails off as she continues to look over the shops stock, a purchase she’d been meaning to make coming to mind. “but, i mean... if you carry men’s wedding bands, i guess i could take a look.”
