@amarvelousmencgerie.

It had been sometime since someone impressed Steve like Kara did. He hadn't been training with Tony's adopted sister for long , but it had taken no time at all for Steve to see the young woman had talent. Of course she did. She was raised by Starks wasn't she?

But her talents went far beyond that of the billionaire family. More than Howard , more than Tony. She was special , and that wasn't something to pass over. He made the call to train with her right away.

And it was a good thing too , he hadn't found someone he connected with so well since the Howlies in the war. Sure the Avengers were a special case but he and Kara seemed to move about one another like they had for years. There was a certain comfort there that lied solely with being able to know the person you fought beside was going to have your back , and not have to question that.

He scoffed at the brushing off of what Kara said to Tony on the comms , and turned in time to see Kara throwing a bot toward him. The shield came up , and the bot broke apart into little tiny pieces. Yeah , she was a perfect addition to the team.

The maneuver they had worked out was perfect , and worked like a charm. As se pulled the bots from the air , and tossing them to the ground , staging them right in front of the Captain to dismantle in whatever fashion worked for the blonde. It couldn't have gone better!

❝ All things considered , I'm just glad it's working as well as I had hoped. ❞

He turned with Kara , seeing the blast coming for them, and out of instinct , raised his shield , and moved to pull her behind him , only to notice she had already taken care of the problem for them. That was a handy cape. Just further impressing him before she casually thanked him , and hurried off to take care of the rest.

❝ Don't you dare , hit on my sister. ❞ A voice was heard in the comms , Steve smirking and chuckling. ❝ Now whatever gave you that idea. ❞ He joked before following after Kara.

@brooklynbred - closed starter from Kara

It had been a long fight and as she tore apart another mechincal bot that had been sent at them, she looked over at Steve. They'd been training together for some time now and she'd found fighting with him was like a dance. He knew exactly what to do tactically and she was a powerhouse that could do just about anything she wanted to. Of course she also could be a bit reckless and it seemed that Steve was good at keeping her from doing things she shouldn't in battle.

The change had been strange for her. Since she'd started fighting with the Avengers and a bit before, it had always been her and her brother. Now, hearing his banter in the comms, she couldn't help but find herself a bit excited to be fighting with Steve. "You know, Tony, if you wanted to tell us what to do, why didn't you pop out here and fight the robots yourself. Oh, is that because you broke your arm being silly a week ago. Oh that was you right?"

She passed another robot over towards Steve as his shield connected with the alien tech. There was a smile on her face as she flew up above them and started pulling them out of the air and forcing them to filter down in front of Steve, doing exactly what they'd praticed. She looked down at him, still making sure the bots were coming his way when she felt a bit of blush in her cheeks. She knew that Tony would know her heart was racing and fighting never did it. Part of her wondered if he knew just how much she liked Steve but she wasn't about to talk to him about liking any Avenger on their team.

"You know, Cap, if I knew that we were going to have to fight robots after we talked about what to do when we fight them, I would have paid a bit more attention."

She landed down next to him and raised her cape at the same moment a blast came their way absorbing it but noticing that he already was in the posision to keep her from getting hit and her cheeks once more flushed, "Thanks, Cap." She ran off towards the blaster knowing he'd follow.

@redstarsandnightmares.

Steve could remember the feeling of having Bucky in his arms like it was yesterday. He could remember the way their bodies would press together while they each tried desperately to get as close to one another as they possibly could. He could remember the way their breaths seemed to blend together in a nearly perfect way.

And even though much was different now , Steve having obtained the serum changed a whole lot about the outer appearance , but the inside was still more or less the same ( aside from everything being amplified of course. )

❝ I missed this too Buck , ❞ He spoke under cover of a labored breath leaving his lips. Bucky looked so perfect. Felt so perfect. God , he really was perfect in Steve's eyes , and probably always would be. ❝ More than you could possibly know. Think I was just . . . letting life happen to me. ❞

He was slightly shocked by the sudden flip , Bucky moving to wrap himself around Steve's muscular frame. That shakey sigh was like honey , thick with want , and naturally pulled one out of Steve to match.

❝ Tell me what you want Bucky. ❞ His request was more of a beg , but he moved only so he could lock eyes with Bucky. ❝ Please? ❞

None of this was going to be easy , not by a long shot. But it was something Steve was more than willing to do , for even the chance to help Bucky come to a place where he was comfortable touching people. He smiled when Bucky did , being still more or less , and letting Bucky's hand move where it felt it needed to. This was about Bucky , not the other way around. Steve wasn't expecting an answer from Bucky when he praised him. He couldn't possibly know what Bucky had been through , but he doubted anything HYDRA told him was anything kind. Bucky deserved so much better. When their foreheads made contact , Steve couldn't help the slight nuzzle , reaching up to gently hold Bucky's head there.

Their breathing was shallow, both almost anxious. Quiet. The smile stayed plastered on his face as Steve's forehead lightly rubbed against his. It was like time and slowed to a single point. He flipped his hand to really lace the fingers together, squeezed Steve's hand gently, shocked that he was capable of it.

"I...missed this. Even when my head wasn't right....still knew there was something missing. Some part of me what wasn't there."

He moved a little more quickly than he expected himself, and curled around Steve tightly, getting as much contact as he possibly could before letting out a heavy, shaky sigh.

Oh it was definitely other other things , though he wasn't going to say no to any request in the departments where before it simply wasn't an option.

Bucky's hands felt electric with every single touch , pulling a small whine from the blonde as his eyes trailed down to where Bucky's hands were exploring. Thinking about what kinda things he could help with. Instead of answering when that voice , the one he remembered from all those years ago like he had heard it yesterday , called to him to answer , he moved in one fluid motion , so he was in between Bucky's legs, lifting them up just a little more.

❝ This for starters , ❞ Steve leaned down , placing a long and teasing kiss there. ❝ See where that takes us. ❞

@redstarsandnightmares.

@brooklynbred

It was like their own special way of foreplay really. Laying there in bed with the love of his life , he listened to Bucky list off some of the nicer memories his mind would allow him to see when he dreamed. It felt like they were special words , meant only for the blonde to hear. He smiled a big beaming smile , listening to each little memory Bucky would list , and relishing in the feeling he got whenever Bucky touched him somewhere along his body , whenever he would steal a glance , it made Steve feel like he was a teenager again , remembering what it was like to fall in love. Steve chuckled a little at the comment of him being a third of Bucky's size , for Bucky he could imagine that being one of the more fonder memories. The times he saw Steve like that were likely the best parts of his past before becoming the soldier. ❝ Well , I can't do much of anythin about the third your size. ❞ He admitted , locking his eyes with those brilliant icy colored ones. ❝ Kinda stuck with the big lumbering me now. ❞ He scoffed again. ❝ Means now I can help with the heavy lifting...And other things. ❞

A soft smirk crosses his face. "Other things, huh? What kinda other things? Openin' pickle jars? Movin' the fridge? Or do ya mean other other things?"

He watches his own hand trail lightly across Steve's skin, pale enough that almost every inch of him looks flushed. He couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

He smiles a familiar smile from...before everything went wrong. The words came out low, quiet, and in a very different tone.

"What kinda things, Stevie...?"

@brooklynbred

More than anything , Steve wanted Bucky to feel comfortable with himself. He wasn't naive , he knew that there was a good chance that Bucky would constantly feel a sense of anxiety around himself , and that wasn't his fault. It was Hydra's... But what Steve did know he could do , was make sure that he showed nothing but love and support for the other. Bucky was doing something huge here. Taking a chance to find new purpose for something that had been meant for noting but destruction for so long. This was a step in the right direction. No matter how small the gesture , he was making an effort to try , and that spoke volumes to Steve. Bucky was stronger than he ever gave himself credit for. Steve was still , while Bucky allowed himself to test the waters so to speak , making sure to not move too suddenly , or make any noise that might spook the other man. All he did was wear a loving and warm smile while Bucky moved his hand up his shirt , only to then move to cup his cheek with the metal hand. He reached up , placing his hand on top of Bucky's , showing the brunette he wasn't scared of him touching him with it , or vise verses. Had it been used in the past to cause pain? Absolutely , but he had an opportunity to put it all in a different perspective. ❝ You did great Buck. ❞ His smile grew a little more , before his fingers laced themselves with metal ones. ❝ You did so good. ❞

He laughed a little...the laughter of someone who jmisnt sure if they are happy or terrified. The silver digits tense a little around Steve's soft, flesh ones. The give of skin under the cold surface is a little unnerving, but he pushes past it. The plates whir quietly as the anxiety rolls through his system.

He doesn't say much, he just smiles, and nods at the praise. His cheeks tinted an unexpected red. He never knows what to do with the information when someone says something nice.

He leans forward and rests his forehead against Steve's for the stability. To ground him a little. The other man's touch always was something that kept him tied to the earth when he was ready to float away from it.
