ONE MONTH LATER

[THIRD PERSON POV]

"You need to focus on propelling your energy forwards Vinnie, otherwise your going to blow my head off." Wanda pressured to the distressed girl stood opposite her in a fighting stance.

Ever since the accident just over a month ago, Wanda had been practising with Davina everyday. Tony had wanted to help too, but the Maximoff girl would barely let him in the same room as Penton, she said Tony was a bad influence, and he wasn't helpful at all.

Steve and Bucky were continuing their research without her, saying that it was more important for her to gain control over these.. Abilities.

"Your not paying attention Vinnie! Focus." Wanda exclaimed, snapping Davina out of her trance.

"Sorry Wanda, I've just had a lot on my mind.. We've been at this for hours!" The dark haired girl grumbled.

Wanda looked at her sympathetically. "I'm sorry Vinnie, I guess I have been pushing a little too hard." Wanda's voice was soft and pitiful.

"No, no don't apologise. If it wasn't for you, I would have probably burnt the whole compound down by now." Davina chuckled, raising her arms towards the red target Tony had painted on the wall.

Wanda merely nodded and took a few steps backwards, giving her room to fire.

Davina closed her eyes and focused all the energy burning through her veins towards her hands. She opened her eyes, feeling that the blackness had taken over them and pushed all the pain out through her palms. Heat exploded from her body and rushed towards the red target, leaving a burnt mark in the center.

"Holy shit." Wanda murmured.

Davina's concentration was broken to the sound of slow clapping, echoing off the walls. She spun around to see Tony sauntering towards her, a large smile spread across his face.

"Nice job kid." He smirked.

Davina smiled and glanced over to Wanda, who was switching between a proud smile towards her and a dull glare towards Stark.

Davina opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Tony before she could speak. "We need you in the meeting room, five minutes." His voice was stern.

Davina nodded at Wanda. "I'll keep training here, come back when your done-"

"Both of you." Tony spoke.

Both girls looked up in confusion. "Why me? I'm not a part of your little fight club, remember?" Davina grinned at the nickname she'd made.

Tony glanced at her with an uneasy expression. "Yeah well.. We just might need you for this one Penton." Tony turned around and walked back out of the training room.

Wanda looked at Davina with a serious expression. "Why on Earth would they need me? I can barely aim a fireball at a target 10 feet away." Davina questioned.

"I don't know Vinnie, but whatever Stark has planned, your not going in the field. Your far from ready." Wanda breathed, heading towards the exit with Davina right on her tail.

"-so if we infiltrate the base here-"

"-no that isn't a good idea-"

"-what we need is-"

Voices were erupting all around the room from almost everyone at once. Davina had walking in and plopped herself on a sofa in the corner. Her confusion rose when Bucky waltzed in and plopped himself down next to her. 

Neither one of them are part of this little fight club people are always going on about. 

"What are you doing here?" Davina whisper-shouted towards Bucky, turning her head towards him, her eyebrows furrowed together.

"I have no idea... What are you doing here?" He questioned, looking just as confused as her.

"I have no idea." She chuckled.

The pair sat awkwardly. Davina's legs were criss-crossed and her back was against an arm rest, Bucky sat with his arms crossed against his chest. The two were gazing around the room, picking up snippets of loud conversation.

Finally Davina had enough. She stood up and cleared her throat loudly. "Is someone going to tell me why I'm here? Or can I leave?" She snapped, frustrated with the lack of information they had been given.

The whole room went quiet until Sam spoke up. "Yes.. Uhm, why is she here? And why is he here?" He questioned, glancing towards Tony for answers.

Tony cleared his throat and gestured for everyone to sit down. Davina and Bucky walked over to the large table and sat down next to each other, both eager for answers.

Stark waited until everyone was seated before clearing his throat again and speaking. "We plan to infiltrate a HYDRA base holding hostages." 

The girl sensed Bucky tensing up besides her and she was quick to lace her fingers around his under the table, gently squeezing his hand. He gave her hand a light squeeze back to assure her that he was okay.

Davina gulped before speaking. "That doesn't really answer my question-"

"We have reason to believe this was the same HYDRA base you grew up in... And, we think Bucky was there for a little while during the 1990s." Tony cut her off.

Davina drew in a deep breath, she unlaced her hand from Bucky's and placed hers back on her lap, desperate to hold them still and stop them from shaking. Her body felt numb and she didn't know what to say. The girl opened her mouth a few times before deciding on her choice of wording.

"W-why do you need us then?" She stammered. Bucky placed a hand on her upper thigh and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Well, you know that base better than anyone, Bucky too... And we can use all the fire power-"

"She's not ready to fight." Wanda cut in, her voice laced with urgency.

"What are you talking about? I saw her down in the training room, that girl is ready!" Tony argued.

Davina's mind blurred the argument between Wanda and Tony. Her mind was racing, going back to that base in Montana... Her old home. 

Bucky's hand found hers and he held it in both of his. His metal thumb rubbed reassuring circles into her palm. Over the sound of the arguing, she could only just hear Bucky's hushed voice close to her ear.

"Are you okay doll?"

It took Davina a few seconds before she managed to turn her head towards him and nod. "Yeah, yeah I'm okay." She smiled weakly.

Bucky turned his head back towards the arguing pair infront of them. His brows furrowed together. "CAN YOU SHUT UP!" He finally yelled.

The room went dead silent. "Thank you." Bucky whispered, addressing the uneasy silence.

It took a few moments before someone else spoke up, this time it was Steve. "Davina, Buck, you two don't have to come, but we could really use your help. It's a massive facility and we have no idea how to get in or find anything once we're inside. Also, as Stark so politely mentioned, we need all the fire power we can get."

Bucky opened his mouth to respond but Davina beat him to it. "I'll help."

Bucky's hand immediately tightened around hers in discomfort. "Well then I guess I'm coming too. Although if I was.. The other me when I was there, I doubt I'll be a very good guide."

Tony nodded. "Okay, well then. Everyone be on the landing pad at first light tomorrow morning. You sleep in, your not coming."

Everyone started to get up and as they were walking out the door Davina heard Clint grumble to Wanda. "Well I'm sleeping in then."

Bucky and Davina made their way to the living quarters and once inside her room, she collapsed onto the bed and groaned. "What the hell have I gotten myself into Buck?" 

He chuckled. "Correction, what the hell have you gotten us into. You volunteered me remember?"

Davina gasped and sat up. "I did no such thing Barnes." She giggled and stood up, walking over to Bucky, who immediately crashed his lips down onto hers.

She smiled into the kiss before pulling away.

"Your adorable." He chuckled.

"Shut up grandpa." She laughed.

Bucky gasped and placed his hand against his chest. "You've crushed me doll, how could you be so harsh."

Her laughter was cut off by Bucky grabbing underneath her thighs and lifting her up. She squealed and chuckled as he positioned his hands under her thighs to get a better grip. 

"I'm taller than you now." She giggled, addressing the few centimeters taller she was than him now in his arms.

"Sure." He chuckled.

The pair stared at each other before bringing their lips together. Davina's heart fluttered in happiness, nothing made her happier than when she was with him. He made her forget about all the horrible things happening around her.

She tangled her arms around his neck and played with his hair, tugging on it slightly.

She felt him smile into the kiss as he walked towards the bed and placed her down gently, never breaking the kiss. 

They melted into one another in pure happiness. Bucky pulled away for air and used the opportunity to remove his shirt, bringing his lips back down to hers instantly.

It wasn't long before she felt his hands tugging at her own shirt, she moved away from the kiss to meet his anxious gaze.

Bucky leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on her temple. She started to slip the shirt off but he stopped her.

"Are you sure?" He whispered, eyes not leaving hers. 

She smiled and placed a delicate kiss against his lips, moving her head to whisper in his ear. "I've never been more sure about anything."

That was all he needed to hear from her.
