Bucky never lived down his adventure at the grocery store. It didn't help that he took everything to Wanda, threw it at her, then ran. Unfortunately, Wanda immediately told Natasha what had happened who told Clint who told Tony. After Tony knew, it was history. The Stark bastard told everyone he ever came in contact with if they so much as mentioned women or Bucky.

If the whole event had one good outcome, it was that Steve made sure he was never gone on a mission when one of the girls was on their period again. After Natasha made a few adjustments to FRIDAY, the AI allowed both her and Wanda into Steve's room to prevent another uncomfortable trip to the grocery store. However, Bucky was always a little on edge when one of them approached him.

"Hey, Barnes?" Natasha asked, walking into the living room and sitting beside him.

Bucky looked up from his book to see her smirking and immediately grew tense.

"What?"

"Can you—"

"Nope!" Bucky said, covering his face with his book.

Natasha broke into laughter and Bucky felt his face heating up from behind his book. Of the entire team, Natasha had been one of the worst since Wanda had told her what had happened. Never before had he regretted not saying no to Wanda, but he wasn't sure if that would have helped.

"I was going to ask if you could spare a few minutes to spar with me," Natasha said, still grinning wildly.

Thrilled that it wasn't another request for tampons, he jumped to his feet.

"Let's go!"

Bucky followed Natasha down to the training room and into the fighting ring. While Natasha taped her hands, Bucky pulled off his shirt.

"Don't hold back," Natasha demanded as she joined him in the ring.

Bucky nodded and they began their fight. They were evenly matched even when Bucky used his metal arm. It wasn't something he liked to do, but the last time he had refused to fight with it, she had utterly destroyed him. Now he was much less worried about hurting her.

"This is easy," Bucky said, even as sweat appeared on his forehead.

Natasha grinned and jumped onto his back. He threw her on the ground and she groaned, arms wrapping around herself. When she didn't get up right away, Bucky got worried.

"Natasha? What's wrong?" he asked worriedly, "God, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

She shook her head and opened her eyes, but Bucky noticed her smirk too late.

"I'm just having really bad cramps."

Bucky nearly screamed.

"Can you carry me back to my room and give me chocolate and a heating pad?" Natasha asked teasingly, still lying on the ground, but no longer looking like she was in pain.

Bucky rolled his eyes. He was done with this.

"Of course," he said sweetly.

Much to Natasha's surprise, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to her room. Immediately after dropping her onto her bed, he went to Steve to get a hot pad, pain meds, chocolate, and a box of tampons just to be over the top. When he returned to Natasha's room, he insisted she change into something more comfortable and take the pain meds.

"You're the worst, Barnes," Natasha muttered, grabbing a blanket and pulling it around her shoulders.

Bucky smirked and made sure she was comfortable on her bed.

"I know," he replied, handing her a Swiss chocolate bar that he'd already taken a bite from.

After making sure she didn't need anything else, he walked out of the room. Even though Bucky hadn't reacted the way Natasha had thought, she wasn't disappointed. She even got free chocolate out of it.
