"So let's get this straight." Dugan put down his mug of beer and looked at Steve.
"We barely got out of there alive, and you want us to go back?" Gabe Jones finished. He was one of the soldiers we rescued from the prisons.
"Yes." I stated, taking a sip off mine. We couldn't get drunk but it tasted good.
"Pretty much." Steve added at the same time.
"Sounds rather... fun actually." James Montgomery grinned.

Jim loudly let out a burp before declaring "I'm in."
"Are you sure you're not too drunk to make a decision right now?" I smirked.

Dernier said a bunch of French words that I didn't understand. But he conversed with Gabe who we were all staring at to say something.
"We're in." He grinned.

"Hell, I'll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me." Dugan began, looking at Steve.
"What's that?" He tilted his head. Dugan took a swig of his beer.
"Open a tab." Everyone laughed as Steve nodded and got up, grabbing the empty mugs on the table. He had a grin on his face and he was in a better mood than he's been for a while. I got up to follow behind him, not wanting to be left behind with the drunk soldiers.
"Well that was easy!" Morita snickered, causing more laughs.

"Another round." Steve told the bartender.
"Where are they putting all this stuff?!" He retorted with a sigh. The piano music played in the background. I sighed in bliss, tapping my foot as I waited with Steve.

"How's your leg?" He asked.
"It's much better. I barely feel the pain." I smiled. "How are you? And Bucky?"
"Bucky is fine. He'll come soon." He paused before looking at me again.

"What?" I pressed.
"You look beautiful tonight, Cynthia." I blushed and turned away to the bar counter. I had worn a blue dress that went a little below my knees. Low enough that it wasn't scandalous. But it was high enough to leave a blush on my face. Peggy had insisted and I wasn't one to deny.

"Thank you, Steve." I noticed that the tip of his ears were a little pink. Men began singing.
"I think I hear Bucky." He grabbed the drinks and placed them on the table before walking through a set of doors to where Bucky was sitting.

"See? I told you!" He started when he saw us. "They're all idiots." He took a sip from his glass.
"What about you?" Steve and I sat down beside him. Bucky nodded at me and I smiled back. "You ready to follow Captain America and Sapphire Soldier into the jaws of death?" Steve exaggerated.

"Hell no." He stated simply, his hair falling slightly on his face. "That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him." He smiled sweetly at Steve. I watched them with interest. They've been through a lot together. They always had a sweet spot for each other. "And of course the beautiful lady who Steve's got a cru-"

"Ahem!" Steve interrupted with a flustered face. "Thank you, for the drinks." He shot Bucky a glare. I was left wondering what he was going to say.
"Anyway. You're going to keep the outfit right?" He teased Steve. I chuckled.
"I sure hope so." I added.
"You know what." He looked back at his poster then at us. "It's kind of growing on me." The singing slowly stopped and I peeked over their heads to see what had caused it. And who did I see other than my sister in a gorgeous red dress that hugged everything perfectly.

"Cynthia." She smiled. "Captain." He nodded.
"Agent Carter." He replied.
"Ma'am" Bucky looked her up and down.
"Howard has some equipment for both of you to try. Tomorrow morning?" She ignored Bucky.
"Sounds good." Steve and I nodded in response.
"I see your top squad is prepping for duty."
"You don't like music?" Bucky smirked.
"I do, actually." She winked at me. I grinned remembering all the time she spent trying to teach me to dance a couple years ago.
"We might even, when all this is over, go dancing. We haven't gone dancing in forever!" I added, wrapping my hand around Peggy's arm.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Bucky flirted.
I looked directly at Steve. "The right partner." Steve's eyes widened a little in realization. Peggy turned to me, remembering our conversation in the car.
"0800, Captain." She nodded. "Soldier." she shot me a wink and walked away, completely ignoring Bucky.
"Yes, ma'am." Steve said. "We'll be there."
"I'm invisible." Bucky turned to us in a shock. "I'm turning into you. It's like a horrible dream." he chuckled.
"Don't take it so hard." Steve mocked. "Maybe she's got a friend." he patted him on the back and Bucky shot him a look of mock betrayal.
"Besides," I added, causing the men's attention to turn to me. "She hasn't been interested in guys in a while." I shrugged before returning to our drinks. (A/N you guys can take that however you want)
