Agent Barton was sent to kill me. He made a different call.

bucky could feel someone following him, and in the beginning, he thought he would try to ignore it. the least winter-soldier move he could’ve made. but it was stupid… and james buchanan barnes was anything but stupid. so he stayed in a crowd; whoever it was, they’d likely want to keep their attack stealthy and secret, and in a torrent of people like this, there would’ve been no easy escape.

except there might have been, when he realized the person following him was his old love. it was a good thing she hadn’t been out to kill.

when natalia romanova snuck in front of him, quieter than a ghost, bucky could have kissed her. she was alive – what more could he have asked for than that?

“наталья,” he said, but her name barely left his lips louder than a whisper. “я не знал если ты… я думал, что если ты…” how many years had they known each other? how long had it been them against the world – james and natalia, the only two who really understood the other? and she could still leave him speechless. he wanted to blame his own feckless demeanor, but it only ever happened with her. his handlers told him it a weakness. he’d come to think of it as his strength, the most human thing about him at a time where he was anything but human.

“я скучал по тебе.”

“я скучал по тебе тоже.” he words came out like a softened whisper, a small ghost of a smile appearing on her lips as she nodded to him. seeing him there, seeing him alive after having seen him dust so long ago was just.... she could barely breathe. deciding that he wasn’t going to make a move, a deer caught in the headlights of her appearance, natasha stepped towards him - ignoring the crowd around them.

she reached towards him, her fingers delicately tracing the man’s hardened lines of his face, taking in his years of secrets and mistreatment, absorbing his pain through her finger tips. when they’d been together, they were unstoppable, powerful, connected through a bond that only they could understand. an assassin frozen through time, and a ballerina trained to do nothing but infiltrate and kill.

shaking her head slowly, she loosened the expression on her face, softening her own gaze as she stayed safely within his space. “Нет, Джеймс, я все еще жива.” she paused and smiled lightly at him. “ты действительно думаешь, что что-то подобное может меня так легко убить?”

she was a complicated one, he could feel it as he tried to make her root through her mind for a secret only the devil could make use of – mental defenses that only someone particularly skilled in lying could be capable of. when she answered he found himself pleasantly surprised, unable to determine whether or not she was lying – but the better chance was that she was. after decker, he didn’t trust his powers to be bulletproof. 

he cocked his head and narrowed his eyes – celestial being, perhaps? likely not. possibly not even from the same universe. a miracle? DAD, no. “clever minx,” lucifer said quietly, mostly to himself, and glanced down at her neatly placed hand on his leg. she didn’t quiet leave him speechless – he doubted there was a force in any universe that could do that – but still, he was impressed and delighted. and best of all, excited.

“well, luckily for you,” lucifer said, leaning forward until their noses nearly touched, “i happen to be the life of this particular party, and i do hope you’re having fun.” he was happy to see that LUX still held all the charm and thrill that it did on earth, even without three brittanies. one red-haired, stunning, especially skilled liar was worth much, much more than that anyway. “lucifer morningstar,” he said, grinning, “lightbringer, prince of darkness, the devil himself. sound like a good time?”

natasha could tell within the very moment of their meeting that the man she’d chosen to pointedly play with was reading her as best as he could, trying to find the best way to make her unravel and... oh, he wasn’t one who wasn’t used to getting his way. she raised both her brows and took another sip of his drink when he called her a clever minx. 

she’d been called worse, much worse - so this? this was a compliment. bringing her face back up, she leaned just that much further and touched the tip of her nose to his. “i think i could find some more sources of fun if you’re up for it?” she asked, smirking at him and arching her brow just a little bit higher. “lucifer morningstar?” she repeated, tasting the way his name curled around on her tongue. “you know in russia, some people would practice magic to call upon the devil for matters in their bedroom.” she gave him a sly smile.

“something tells me that i’ll have all of that magic from you.” giving him a small head tilt, nat leaned forward, bringing her hand up and hooking it around his neck, pulling him close. “do you want to know my name?” she whispered, her eyes open, brushing her eyelashes against his skin. “it’s a secret.” she closed her eyes, bringing her lips to his and sealing him into a kiss.

*.. As soon as he started to open the door, a frown started to form on Steve’s forehead. There were many things he kept finding about the super soldier serum; things that they forgot to mention, or didn’t even know about. Dr. Erskine didn’t have the chance to explain all the pros and cons of his creation, anyway. So, he didn’t know if the ability to sense someone’s presence so easily was part of it or really just something he always had and didn’t pay attention to it. After he got the apartment, Steve started to leave the shield that T’Challa gave him back in Wakanda next to the door, so he reached for it and before taking a quick step forward or activating it, he was able to hear one familiar voice that made him stop all at once. “Nat?” His other hand touched the wall and after finding the switch, the lights confirmed that it was her. A smile immediately replaced the frown, but sarcasm always won for him. “I didn’t. Not at all…”

sitting up a little straighter in her seat, she pursed her lips at him with a perfectly raised brow. “that’s my name, don’t wear it out.” she teased, rolling her eyes playfully at him when he responded to her. standing, she stretched and moved towards him. “i think my back is sore from sitting in that chair waiting for you.” she gave a small, but soft laugh. “you really are good at keeping a girl waiting.” she poked him in the chest, looking up at him before sighing. “it’s good to see you, steve. i’ve only seen tony... but... i don’t know about the rest.”

thwip!

               thwip!

                               thwip!

peter swung from building to building as he finished up patrol in that area, eventually landing quietly in an alleyway, only to spin around seconds later as his senses went off to warn him about the person approaching, his arms raised defensively, mere seconds away from shooting webs at them before he realized who was staring back at him – BLACK WIDOW herself. his eyes widened slightly and he lowered his arms. “uh – yeah, yeah, i’m spider-man. mr. stark, uh, recruited me, i guess? to help him – you guys – in germany.” his face fell slightly. seeing the avengers – both new and original – fight had always been saddening for him. his heroes, fighting each other. maybe things would be better now. he hoped. “and you – you’re black widow. you’re…” he trailed off, in awe. “you’re badass.”

the moment spider-man threw his arms up in defense, natasha did the same, ready and willing to aim her widow’s bites at him and take him down if necessary. “you’re still just a kid,” she stated, lowering her arms to her sides and stiffening up her posture. “still, i suppose defending people doesn’t come with an age limit.” sighing, she turned from him, glancing off to the side of the alley, listening - watching their surroundings before turning back to him with a half smile. “i do my job well, it’s not really anything to be proud of, but thanks.” she shrugged, walking towards him to get a better look. “tony stark, have you seen him around?”

“well, to be fair, you wouldn’t hear me complain about wine either.” karolina admitted, although even after a year she wasn’t really sure if a legal drinking age was a thing in meraviglia. “do you mind if i ask what type of work you did?” she asked with honest curiosity in her voice. she wouldn’t push any topics, but her more friendly nature made her want to continue in the conversation. “thanks.. and don’t worry about it, really. i know a lot of people have reasons to be on edge and we’re on an alien planet so.. a little threat here or there isn’t going to bother me.” her shoulders shrugged casually before letting out a quiet laugh. “she’s usually pretty good about it… at least with indulging me but sometimes i can just see it by the look on her face.”

natasha gave the girl a tight-lipped smile, happy to amuse her and to continue to remain a stranger with a kind, listening ear. when she asked what sort of work that she did, nat raised a brow before giving a frown and then shrugging, “real estate,” and just like that, just as the words escaped her lips, natasha had lived a life as a real estate agent. still, karolina’s naivety was sweet, she was hopeful, she had optimism - something natasha wish she’d had more of. “the planet is peaceful, some people like me, we don’t trust peaceful.” she shrugged, giving a small smile. “your girlfriend sounds sweet.”

Tony could tell a lot from a hug. This hug, for instance - it wasn’t cursory. It was a full on, genuine hug - trusting and vulnerable and just a little sad. And Nat was an expert at fooling people, but Tony doubted she could have mustered this amount of sincerity unless she actually meant it.

It – it surprised him.

“A year, huh? You sure I wasn’t partying with you? Only because I woke up without any memories of the past year, so I hope that it was a really good party, or at least some really good booze.”

There was still the undercurrent of tension between them, and Tony found himself fidgeting, wanting to get it sorted. “Natasha… we need to talk. Somewhere not here.”

nat made for a laugh, shaking her head at tony’s words. a man of words, it was his shield, his guise - something that he put up to hide the hurt and pain that broiled under the surface. something that she admittedly took advantage of in the past. her smile faltered only slightly as she cast her gaze off to the side, taking her own moment to compose herself before regaining the serene composure she was taught to finesse.

raising a brow, she shrugged - a small smirk tugging at her lips. “if you find a booze that can knock you out for an entire year, i’d like to know what’s in it,” she teased, watching him for a moment before nodding once. 

“ooh, a full name, now? this must be serious,“ she played on before siding her head to the side to indicate she knew of a quiet spot. “follow me, anthony.“ she teased, unable to help before turning her back to him and leading him off to a remote and un-watched location, stopping she turned towards him with her arms crossed across her chest. “so? what’s so important that you wanted to talk alone?“

@gvenstacy - bucky barnes

she knew him immediately, spotted him from miles away and could sense him on instinct. keeping herself hidden, natasha moved between the streets of the city as quietly and as stealthily as she possibly could. “james,” she whispered - watching him carefully, a pang of nostalgia, love, pain, and fear all struck through her.

silently, she dropped down behind him, tilting her head - calculating on whether or not he sensed her before slipping back into the crowd, waiting for him to turn around to look before reappearing in front of him. “привет снова старая любовь” she spoke the mother tongue, smiling at him softly not daring to step forward or to touch him. she didn’t know where they stood with each other and she wasn’t about to test it.

she would let bucky come to her.

it was both exciting and maddening to be stuck on this planet – especially frustrating because he had yet to find his lovely maze or the annoyingly righteous amenadiel. he opened up lux again, a different sort seeing as meraviglia wasn’t quite familiar with his style of entertainment, but something was missing. he’d been looking for some fun, something to keep both him and his mind busy – and luckily for lucifer, fun and exciting walked right up to him. “well, hello,” lucifer purred, and watched with candid amusement as she sipped his drink, maintaining eye contact the whole while. he’d met plenty who had a way with words, but she had a way with action, and it was gloriously refreshing. “it is my utmost pleasure, darling, truly.” curiosity killed the cat, as they say, but luckily for him, cats had nine lives. he turned in his seat to face her and leaned forward, keeping his eyes locked with hers. “tell me, beautiful – what is it you most desire, hm?”

oh. he enjoyed this little game just as much as she was. good. it meant she could keep the act up, keep bringing him in - luring him, playing with him, dancing with his thoughts and instincts as if it was the ballet. no - natasha, no. keeping her face perfectly trained, she leaned in further, nearly closing the gap between their faces. her gaze danced across his face, taking in ever minute detail of him before parting her lips and smiling. “what i most desire?” she whispered, trailing her tongue out over her bottom lip with precision and flirtatiousness. leaning forward, nat daringly placed a hand upon his knee, letting her fingers trail a little further up before stopping. “my desire is to be myself, have fun, enjoy the life of the party -- can’t a girl just have a good time?” she asked, tilting her head and smiling at him. she was lying, of course - her innermost desire was something that even she couldn’t bring out of herself half the time. but it was fun to play along.

@spidyswebs - peter parker

“hey!“ nat called out, breaking into a run after the blur of red and blue. chasing him on foot as he swung from building to building, nat kept up with him until he stopped to rest in an alley. walking towards him, she raised her hands to mean no harm before pointing at him with recognition. admittedly, she was sad to see him here - knowing that he was likely one of the one’s trapped for a year. “you’re the kid that tony brought in to bring steve in at the airport in germany, right?“

“what’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?“ nat asked, giving the other red head a playful smirk. “i’m teasing, of course, but it’s nice to see another human face around here, and a redhead at that.“ she gave a small shrug of her shoulder, taking a glance around one of the parks of the city. “the name’s natalie, it’s nice to meet you.“ she of course wasn’t there to just be friendly, there was a rumor going around about an oncoming war and she was attempting to figure out any information that she could.

[sdggrgreyerg]

@manovtoftime 

natasha hadn’t heard the message from the incoming threats - but she knew something was up and when her instincts kicked in, she wasn’t about to let it go and pass it off as paranoia. she’d heard of rumors of steve being here and immediately she knew what to do. heading out, she began to scour the streets and buildings until she found his apartment. breaking in wasn’t too hard, but getting through the layout of his home in the dark proved to be more interesting. when she heard someone begin to open the front door to walk in, she crept to a chair in a corner, waiting for him to spot her. “throw something at me rogers and watch it get bounced back at you.” she stated in lieu of a greeting before giving him a smile. “missed me, soldier?”

“hey, now, don’t drag chewie into this.” carol couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief when she was greeted by natasha romanoff. the black widow was one of the first female heroes that carol had heard of beside herself; they weren’t exactly a hot commodity in the 90s. cap was still all the rage back then. “you have no idea what a relief it is to see you,” carol said, smiling. she knew that nat had never been much of a hugger, but unfortunately, she was – she wrapped her arms around the assassin in a warm greeting.  “i gotta say,” she laughed, “of the alien planets i’ve been on, this one’s not so bad. and gerry wasn’t alone. someone took him in like her own.” her smile softened as she talked about her son, a feeling that she could only describe as dread twisting in her stomach again. she wasn’t sure she’d ever get over their missing year away from him. “are you okay? the last thing i remember was getting the distress call from fury, and then…. well, you know the rest.”

“well, if chewie would stop dragging people in, maybe i’d stop bringing him into things,“ she teased, smirking at her friend and letting out a small laugh at her relief. “trust me carol, i think i do know how much of a relief it is.” there were only a few people who could get away with physical affection with nat and carol was luckily one of them, returning the hug she closed her eyes momentarily before pulling back and smiling. “yeah, aside from a few missing fast-food establishments and y’know a president that no one likes, i’d say this place isn’t half bad,” she shrugged while taking a look around before landing her gaze back onto carol. “gerry is here too? well, i’m glad he’s alright, well was and still is.” she shook her head, passing it off as nothing. “yeah, things happened but... i’m coping, i’m okay. are you?”

The other woman seemed to accept her answer, causing Karolina to release a breath of relief that she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. The last thing she wanted to do was be on her bad side – or anyone’s really. She was, by all means, a people pleaser. Her lips turned upwards, head nodding in agreement. “Apples, definitely – and grapes.” She had to agree, there was a lot about Earth that Karolina still missed, no matter how long she’d been there. “I’m Karolina, it’s nice to meet you.” She offered before picking up one of the fruits in question. “These really are good though, kind of like the taste of an orange but the texture of a pear? I want to see if I can get my girlfriend to try one.”

“some would argue grapes are only good for wine,“ she smirked, turning her gaze back onto the girl with a little more interest than she had before. “but i agree, i used to bring them with me sometimes on jobs, easy to carry, healthy enough, and tasty.” she wasn’t exactly telling the truth, but weaving a lie in every now and then didn’t hurt, did it? “karolina? very pretty and it nice to meet you too.” she paused and dropped her mask for a moment, “i’m sorry for threatening you earlier.” but she returned a smile when karolina spoke up about the fruit again. “i’ll have to get some then, thank you.” a pause “is your girlfriend not very fond of trying new things?“

a groan escapes clint’s lips as he’s knocked to the ground. mere minutes earlier, he’d been walking lucky and one of the other many dogs he’d found in his short while on meraviglia, when out of the blue, this happened. “okay… this looks bad,” he muttered. “lucky, attack!” he exclaimed, only for the golden dog to jump on natasha, proceeding to bark happily and lick her face. at his friend’s comments, he rolled his eyes. “old? you’re two years older than me, romanoff. and, as for the pinned thing, that’s unfair ‘cause i wasn’t ‘specting it. doesn’t count! i was walkin’ my dogs.”

“does it?“ she asked, raising a brow and tilting her head - only to catch sight of the dog named ‘lucky’  in her peripherals, causing her to jump back from clint and to nearly bring the dog down in a choke hold - only to pause when he started to poke her with his nose and then attempt to lick her face. smiling, she leaned down and allowed him to, giving him a few lipstick stained kisses in return. “it’s a shame barton, the dog kisses better than you.” she smirked, looking up and over at her friend in amusement. “that’s the point, you shouldn’t be expecting it - and it’s not the age that counts, it’s the mileage you put on your body, друг.” getting to her feet, she waited for clint and looked at his gathering of dogs. “how many do you have now?”
