"Okay, so we both know you aren't dealing with normal American laws here. You lost your right to a lawyer as soon as you decided to infiltrate the Avengers...And if you think for any fraction of a second that we'd even let you have a lawyer after what you did to her, I'll--"
"Tony," Steve warned. Thankfully, he was in the room to keep a level head on things before Tony could break any more laws. Steve moved his gaze back to Tina, unchanged. "But if you try anything while she's in here, I'll break your neck."
Tina seemed surprised at what Steve was implying. Were you really going to--
"Hell of an introduction, guys." You rolled yourself into the interrogation room using the all-terrain wheelchair Tony had built specifically for you while you were in recovery. "Tina, pleasure to see you again," you greeted her passively.
"I prefer Val." Those were the first words she had spoken since she had been brought in.
A smile flashed across your face at the accomplishment. "I'm sure you do," you responded, "Because that's what your father called you, am I right? I mean, we both know that you're a daddy's girl through-and-through, huh?"
"Don't you dare speak to me about my father," Tina growled.
You were quick to quip back, "Don't you dare shoot me in the stomach next time, and then I won't even mention your father, Elliot Daker. How's that?"
Tina got a smirk on her face. "Oh, Y/n, is it? We both know that gunshot isn't the only thing I've wounded you with. I guess some things hit closer to the soul than physical impairments ever could, huh?"
"You see, that's the thing, Tina. You didn't want to hurt me--Sorry, I misspoke. You didn't care about hurting me. All you wanted was Sargent Barnes all to yourself. Why is that?"
She folded her arms and looked away from you. "You'll never understand why I did what I did."
"Could it be because you wanted to return to your sick little romance with the Winter Soldier?"
Tina blanched.
"Yeah. I thought it was that. There were too many pictures, too many stories of the two of you together for it to be otherwise." You flipped closed the file you had brought in with you, and manoeuvred yourself away from the table. Tony and Steve were behind you as you headed for the door.
"Wait," Tina shouted, panicked. "Doesn't he at least want to talk to me, one last time?"
"Yeah, hun," you shot back with no hesitation. "And I can get up and do a cartwheel down the hallway."
When the door opened, Tina stood from the table she was chained to because she saw a sliver of Bucky standing in the hallway.
His eyes were trained on you, and when the door shut behind Tony, Bucky fell to his knees. "Baby, I-I am so sorry. I don't remember a thing about her from my HYDRA days. God, and the thought that I slept with her again makes me want to--"
Softly, you cupped his cheek and put your thumb over his mouth to quiet him. Steve and Tony had gone. You then removed your thumb to replace it with your lips.
Even after the kiss was over, you kept your eyes closed for a moment to relish in the feeling of finally having Bucky be with you in the way you had wanted for so long.
"I would like to lay down now," you told him. "I'm tired."
