❛ everything i’ve done, every change that i’ve made - it’s been for you. ❜

Of all the people to have found him, Bucky shouldn't have been surprised that it was her. He would have guessed it would have been her or Steve, but Steve knew him best as he had once been, and Natalia, she knew him best as he had been trained. Who he was now was complicated, and he was still trying to sort it out. He bowed his head as he walked into the grubby apartment in the back end of Prague - just the latest in his tour of Eastern European capitals while he tried to hide from the world. He set his backpack on the uneven table after assuring the lock was secure, and breathed out. "...I don't understand why," he asked her quietly as he looked up. "I'm not worth any of that, Natalia. I know you and Steve have been looking for me...and I'm glad you got out, made changes - I wouldn't change the the choices I made to help you escape...but I don't understand why you keep fighting for me." It was the first indication that he remembered things - he remembered when she was making her escape from their mutual captivity - she would have waited for him, but he knew that it would have cost her. Remembering nothing else of his past at the time, he bought her time to escape - and paid for it with his own freedom and another trip to the chair. He set his groceries down on the table and sighed, feeling unsettled - but not because of her. He knew she hadn't come here to kill him. "...I'm not a safe person to be around, Natalia," he murmured quietly.

Natasha was tapping her fingers incessantly and frowning. “They are three days late, with no word. Procedure be damned I’m not waiting.”

Looking up at loki she grinned, “wanna go infiltrate and rescue with me?”

To miss a check in was strange. To miss it by hours was a snag; by a day, a worry. To go three days without a daily check... that spelled Trouble. Even for Steve, James and the rest of their field team.

"You know I'm in." They should have been home by now, and Loki was as restless as Natasha. "Let me grab my scrying set, it should give us a more accurate location than the last check-in ping."

💃 Pull my muse onto a dance floor/up to dance

“Nat I haven’t danced in-ok, I guess we’re doing this then.”

Bucky rolled his eyes almost playfully. His dancing was admittedly a little rusty, he hadn’t exactly had the chance to do much in the way of practicing lately, but apparently that was what they were doing and he didn’t think arguing with her would get him anywhere.

@websandredheads​: “Catch.” did she throw a knife, a flash drive, a bottle of water, a poison tree frog? She threw him a black box. (random stuff - always accepting)

                     It’s a reflex he cannot suppress, like pulling your hand away when you accidentally touched a hot stove plate; his arm comes up, fingers fishing the black box out of the air before it can hit him in the face. At least he used his prosthesis; who knows what the Black Widow might toss at you. He looks down at it, then gives her a look. “And what is this? Is it a ring, are you proposing? I expect you to go down on your knees, though, you need to do this properly.”

Wa-pssh (Natasha is grinning like she stole something lol)

“...You did not just do that, Nat.”

“Well, I did grow up in Brooklyn. During the summer months I would work down at the autoshop by the board walk ‘cause it paid more than the diner gig I had.” Bucky mentions with a chuckle. Leaning against the support beam of the boat. 

“Uh, I wasn’t born one no. Why do you ask?”

@websandredheads Natasha/Five

"I'm much older than you think." Five said to the redhead before him, his eyes narrowed as he tried to work out why exactly she was here and he knew it wasnt for the free coffee.

His guard was up, he could tell by the way she moved that she was trained but he was sure if she was sent here to kill him, she would have already tried that, so why was she here?
