The speaker clicked off, and Bucky knew he was alone with you. He touched his earpiece, trying to contact the team, but sure enough, it was just static in his ear. He yelled out in frustration and punched the wall. It barely even cracked.

He crouched back down in front of you, trying again to prise the cuffs off you, even though he knew it wouldn't work.

"Why are you bothering?" You said, your eyes opening slowly and your voice croaky.

"Luka, hey, hey princess." He said hurriedly as his hands went to your face. "I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?"

"No point." You groaned. "You're wasting your time." You rolled your head back, your eyes closing again as you could feel your powers weakening.

"I'm never wasting time when it comes to you." He moved his hands back to the cuffs by your ankles, trying desperately to rip them apart.

"Just piss off Barnes." You growled, feeling his fingers pinch your skin as he tried to find a weak point on the cuffs.

"Stop trying to tell me what to do."

"Fuck you."

"Bit late for that." He laughed in response.

"Just leave it, it's not going to work." You replied, frowning again as he grunted at the cuffs. "Just leave me here."

"I'm not leaving this building without you, now shut up and let me-"

"James just FUCKING GO!" You yelled, your anger seeping through your body and making the cuffs short circuit enough to electrocute Bucky and send him falling back.

He looked between your glossed over eyes and the cuffs. They were supposed to be draining your power. That didn't feel like your powers were weakening.

"Luka you need to try and use your powers." He said, making you huff with a half-hearted laugh.

"You don't think I've tried? I've been here a week, you think I was just counting the ceiling tiles?" You retorted. He smiled. Even captured and restrained, you still had that fight in you. He had to use it.

"You have all this power and you can't even get through some little metal cuffs?"

"You think these are little?!" You struggled against them to prove how strong they were, but Bucky just laughed and leaned down on his knees, staring at you.

"You can short circuit the entire compound, and you killed 6 Hydra agents at once. If you wanted to get out, you would. But you've given up."

"I haven't given up."

"You've given up. Just like when I kissed you and you ran away. Just like when I tried to ask you to tell me the truth and you shut down and refused to talk to me. Just like when you didn't want to let me in and went to Nick instead."

"I didn't give up." You snarled. The cuffs sparked again. Bucky saw the veins in your forearm faintly try to glow.

"You did. Now use those powers that you hid from me for so long and get yourself out!"

"I can't!"

"You can!"

"Fuck off Barnes!" You yelled, and the cuffs on your wrists started crackling.

"No, do you know how angry you made me? How patient I had to be waiting for you to finish your childish games?"

"It wasn't a game-"

"You acted like a brat, making jabs and insulting me every chance you got, kissing him when you were trying to push me away, because of what? Because I used to work for Hydra?"

"It's not that simple!" You screamed, screwing your eyes shut. The cuffs round your ankles started lighting up.

"You lied to me about everything Luka! And now look, you're stuck in their base and you can't even magic your way out. Stop acting like you don't give a shit! Stop acting like you are helpless in all this!"

"It won't work!"

"You won't let it work! Fucking try Luka, for once, fight for it!"

"SHUT UP BARNES!" You roared, your eyes flying open, and Bucky saw they'd turned completely white, and then you were struggling in your chair. He stepped back, watching your veins light up again as they did on the road, watching you pull and fight against the restraints. You yelled out as your wrist cuffs started cracking, and as soon as he spotted it, he raced back to help you break them apart. You broke through your other restraints, the power flooding through you, fuelled by your anger at his words.

Bucky was whispering jumbled praise to you as he helped where he could, that you did amazing, that he didn't mean a thing. His plan worked.

He threw the pieces of metal to the side after you ripped off the neck restraint, and yanked you out of the chair, his hands going to your face and checking to see if you had any other marks on you.

Before he could fully check you over, there was a loud explosion from the wall beside you, and he moved you out of the way so he could cover you, the concrete and debris flying around him.

Then an alarm sounded.

He was about ready to pull you away, when Stark walked through the hole in the wall.

"Wow, that was super difficult, I mean Hydra just has the best structural integrity in the country. 12 feet of concrete against me? However would I manage." Tony said, the sarcasm heavy. His mask flipped up, and he looked between Bucky and yourself, his arms around you protectively. "Take her, there's more coming. Seems your little buddy called them before he locked you in here."

Bucky nodded once, then took your hand and dragged you out of the room, sidestepping Stark as you moved. You ran behind Bucky, holding his metal hand tight, as he led you up the stairs and through the compound he'd only just entered. He now had instructions coming into his earpiece from Rhodey about which route to take, with the team occupying and fighting the incoming agents on the other side of the building. You were silent, trying to even out the static tingling in your veins as you ran with him.

He finally led you to the outside, the sunshine blinding you for a second. You saw brief whizzes of Rhodey in the air, but Bucky was dragging you too quickly for you to see anything else. You both ran to the nearest quinjet, and he pushed you on before rushing to the controls and hurriedly turning everything on, the hatch closing behind you. You felt the plane thrum with the engine, and started to move into the air as Bucky manoeuvred the controls. You were standing in the middle of the plane, not moving, just breathing, thinking. Thinking about how they captured you. About you and Bucky. About how Tony was again at your rescue. About how your fingers were prickling so much that they were almost numb.

Autopilot on came a voice over the plane speakers, and it brought you back to reality. Back to seeing Bucky move from the pilot's chair towards you. He stopped a few steps from you, and you stared at him. He stared at you. You could tell he wanted to say something. His mouth was stuttering open and closed as the cogs turned in his head.

You didn't want to talk.

You closed the gap between you, grabbed his face, and pulled his lips to yours. Ignoring the heat of your fingers, he immediately wrapped his arms around you and held you closer. His mouth guided yours open, and his tongue slid over yours as your breath got shallower, and you returned the kiss eagerly. He moved, pushing you against the wall and deepening the kiss.

"I was...so worried...you-" He panted. You shook your head.

"Stop talking James."

You reached for his trouser button. He nodded quickly and reached for yours. You broke the kiss to pull your trousers off, your eyes focused on his bottom lip that he was biting as he pushed his own trousers down. He grabbed your thighs, pulling on them to make you jump and wrap your legs around him. He pressed you further against the wall, smashing his lips to yours with a growl. He had one hand on the wall next to your head, the other reaching between you and lining himself up to you, before moving his hand to the small of your back as he pushed himself in. Your fist in his hair tightened as you felt him filling you up, and you moaned loudly. He attacked your neck as he started fucking you, hard and fast, just what you needed after all of this.

No more words were exchanged. Nothing but moaning, whimpering, panting, as he pounded into you again and again. It was filthy, simple, .

It was only a few minutes before his fingers snaked down your stomach to circle your clit, his lips finding yours again and his hips snapping faster into yours, both of your orgasms on the horizon. You didn't care about taking it slow, enjoying the feelings. Not this time.

You whimpered into his mouth as he tipped you over the edge, your body erupting with adrenaline as you tensed around him, as he pulsed inside you.

He gently let you down after a few seconds of revelling in the feeling of you around him. He stared at you as you started getting dressed, then slowly got dressed himself. You were both silent.

You stayed silent for the rest of the plane journey to the safehouse.
