Both of them quickly stands up spluttering nonsense. Natasha quickly walks on to Cora while Cora quickly walks backward.

She rips off the scarf that was wrapped around Cora's collarbone. There it is. The tattoo showing Bucky's name.

"James Buchanan Barnes"

Cora quickly snatched her scarf and wraps it back around her collarbone.

Cora did not meet her eyes and Jamie was holding on to his dick not wanting it to be ripped off for lying to the black widow.

Natasha turns to Jamie and demands for him to show his tattoo.

"Alex Bingham"

Natasha runs out from the room. Cora stares at Jamie in panic before continuously muttering out fuck. Jamie excused himself before rushing out.

====

Bucky was standing at the balcony looking down. He couldn't stop thinking about the event that happens just now. He was smiling and grinning whenever he thinks about Cora.

However, he hates that he can't be with her. It makes him thinks that the universe is telling him that he's not good enough for her. That causes a frown to appear on his face.

He finishes up his drink and before he turns around. He saw Jamie running out from the Avenger's tower, hopping into his car and drive away. He nods at Jamie retrieving figures before going back to the party.

====

Cora ran around the tower looking for Natasha before finding her at the gym boxing.

"Natasha, can we talk?"

"Go away Mullins" the thuds getting louder and louder as Cora stays.

"Please Nat." Cora's wobbly voice making Natasha halts her action and turns around.

She hates it when Cora is sad. She sighs loudly and sat beside Cora. She nods at Cora to talk.

"Remember when we were painting our nails and we talked about our soulmate? You told me about the story of how you met an amazing man but fate has other plan and you guys never met each other. I saw the love and hope in your eyes." Cora breathes in deeply and continues "And when I asked for the name and you said his name I know I can't do that to you."

"Cora no -"Natasha was dumbfounded

"Wait let me finish. Then he was here. At the tower. I thought you will do anything to be with him again. So I back off. I didn't say anything. When you guys were together Sam and Steve were there to hold on to me at the verge of passing out."

Natasha was at the verge of passing out after hearing the last sentence. She tearfully grabs on to Cora's hands before muttering out apologies in a cracked voice.

"I love you. Do you hear me? You're like my baby sister. I will kill anything for you. Hence why you should never sacrifice anything for others. You hear me, Cora. I'll fucking slap you if you do this again." Natasha told her in all seriousness. Cora quickly nods and hugs Natasha. "What Bucky and I had was in the past. You go get him, tiger. You need to let him know as soon as possible."

"I love you Nattie"

Both of the ladies laugh and made up before heading out to their room respectively.

Cora was about to remove her scarf when someone knocks on her door. She opens up to see someone on the other side.

"Bucky?"
