Chapter 8

They woke up the next morning to find out that they were getting shipped back to London at midday. Abi was glad she was finally getting out of this hell hole, and farther away from Zola and Schmidt.

Once they were in London Abi and Peggy had to go over some notes, so Steve and Bucky went to a bar where Steve told Bucky he was putting together a team to go after all the Hydra bases.

"You should try all those idiots." Bucky said nodding towards a table of men from the factory. Steve laughed and went over to talk to them. Sat at the table were: Timothy 'Dum Dum' Dugan, Jim Morita, James Montgomery Falsworth, Gabriel Jones and Jacques Dernier. When Steve left Bucky ordered a scotch and waited for him to return. All of the men said yes and Steve walked up to the bar with the empty glasses.

"Another round, please." Steve said.

"Where are they putting it all?" The bartender exclaimed. Steve shrugged and walked back to the other side of the bar where Bucky was sat.

"See, told you! They're all idiots." Bucky said taking another swing from his glass, as Steve took a seat on the other side of him.

"What about you? You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?" Steve asked him ordering his own drink.

"Hell, no! The little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him." Bucky said with a smile. "But you're keeping the outfit, right?" Bucky asked looking over to one of the Captain America tour posters that had 'Tour cancelled until further notice' across it.

"You know what? It's kinda grown on me." Steve replied with a smile. They stopped talking as the whole bar went quiet. They got off their stools as Abi and Peggy walked in. Peggy was wearing a tight fitting red dress that immediately caught Steve's attention. Bucky however was looking at Abi. She was wearing a figure hugging, sleek, black dress with a pearl necklace and bracelet that had been her mothers. Peggy and Steve started talking as Bucky pulled Abi over to the bar. He ordered her a scotch and then turned to look at her. He looked her up and down admiring her dress.

"You look beautiful." He said pushing her hair over her ear. She smiled and looked at the floor, her cheeks heating up. He placed his hand under her chin and kissed her briefly. He pulled away as Peggy walked out and Steve walked back across. Steve looked at his sister and best friend smiling at each other, he was glad they were both happy. They all finished their drinks and ordered another round.

They spent the rest of the night laughing and joking around, and having many more drinks. There were going to regret it in the morning, well Abi and Bucky were, it wouldn't affect Steve.
