Mary unlocks the door to her apartment. She had just seen her brother in the hospital, he wasn't in the best condition but he was stable. Becca was with Natasha and Sam back at the hospital as well, waiting for he uncle to wake up.

"Yes, T, i'm fine." Mary says into her phone. When Tony found out she was actually still alive he called her immediately.

"You sure? Because i can be down in DC in less than two hours." Tony says over the phone, "I don't like what happened, Mama Ree. None of it."

"I know," She pauses, sighing, "I don't either, but it needed to be done." She replies.

"You are coming to visit me and Pepper. No getting out of it." Tony quips, "I need to see with my own eyes that you're okay."

Mary laughs, "Alright, T, i'll come see you soon." She says.

"I love you, Mama Ree." He says quietly.

"I love you too, T." She says back to him as she hangs up, setting her keys down in the key bowl next to the door, turning on the lights as she hears floorboards creek. The doctor hesitates, "Hello?" She calls out, no one should be in her apartment right now. She grabs the gun from under the countertop of her kitchen as she makes her way into the living room. The bullet holes in the wall were still present. She looks around again and makes her way into her bedroom.

"Who's there?" She calls out again, stepping inside her room. She looks to her bed, seeing a man haunched over on her side of the bed, reading one of her journals she had kept over the decades. She kept letters she wrote to Bucky in most of them.

"Thanksgiving, 1945.." the man murmurs, causing Mary to step dead in her tracks, "That's the day our daughter was born?" The man asks.

Mary flips on the nightstand lamp, setting her gun down, seeing her husband in clothes she recognizes as her brothers and a baseball cap next to him.

She doesn't know what to do, so she nods in reply, "Yes.." she answers, she looks in his hands, he's reading the letter she wrote to him on the day Becca was born. "I knew it was stupid to try and host Thanksgiving dinner nine months pregnant.. but i wanted to feel useful." She says, sitting next to him slowly.

He looks over at her, "She's perfect, Mary." He says softly.

The doctor's hazel eyes cloud in tears, nodding in agreement, "I like to think so." She teases him quietly. "What are you doing here?" She asks.

Bucky looks away from his wife that he barely remembers, "I wanted- no, needed to see you before i left." He says.

"Before you left?"

"I can't stay here, not when everyone is hunting me down because of what i did for Hydra." He says softly, guilt riddles his features and Mary's heart breaks.

"Becca will be devastated." Mary replies, "She's always wanted to be with you."

Bucky hesitates, "She could come with me. She's also on Hydra's watch list. She'd be safe with me, i wouldn't let anything happen to her." He states.

Mary's heart clenches, she knows Bucky means well, and she doesn't want either of them to leave her. But she knows if they want to survive then they need to.

"Alright." She murmurs, hesitantly taking his hand, "She'll go with you."

Bucky nods, turning to look at her, "The next time you see me. I'll remember you, i swear it. Just wait for me." He says, his voice soft and hoarse as he looks into the hazel eyes he feels like he's known his whole life.

Mary nods, "I have all the time in the world." She replies, "I'll wait however long it takes." She says, leaning in to kiss his cheek when Bucky turns his head, kissing her lips.

Mary jumps in surprise, but Bucky has a hold on her hip as he deepens the kiss with his wife. Memories flood into his mind quickly, knocking the wind out of his lungs, but he doesn't care at the moment.

Mary wraps her arms around Bucky's neck carefully, her hands running through his hair, which is long now. Bucky moves them onto the bed more. He's hesitant at every move he makes, not wanting to go too far while his mind is still fragile, but his body and gut are telling him that it's okay. That it's okay to feel this with her.

Mary breaks away from her husband, looking at him, "James, are you sure?" She asks, staring up into his crystal blue eyes with her own hazel ones. He nods, leaning his head down to kiss her again. Mary kisses him back, feeling the need from him, the confusion, everything. And in that moment, she realizes their love has lasted through happiness, turmoil, heartbreak and everything in between, because no matter what happens, they've always found their way back to each other. Mary can only think of one word for their love. Timeless.

When Mary wakes up the next morning, she's greeted by a cold breeze on her bare back. She sits up, holding the sheets of her bed in her hand as she looks over to her nightstand, seeing a note from Bucky.

I didn't want to leave without a goodbye, so i left you this note. Becca will be safe with me, i promise.

Wait for me
Your husband, James.

Mary's hazel eyes cloud over as she looks at the note again, seeing her phone go off, looking over the caller ID to read that it's Sam.

She picks up her phone, "Hi Sam." She answers.

"Mary, Becca is gone. She left a note saying she was safe but didn't give any details, Natasha and I are freaking out. I'm so sorry." Sam rambles over the phone.

Mary sighs, setting the phone down and pressing speaker phone. She climbs out of bed, seeing Bucky had cleaned up her clothes for her. "I know where she is, Sam, she's safe."

"You do?" Sam says back, "Where is she?"

"That's something i can't say over the phone." She answers back

She hears Sam sigh over the phone, "Steve woke up, he's doing okay." He says, changing the subject.

"Good. I'll be down soon then to see him." She says as she pulls on her underwear and a plaid shirt and a pair of jeans. She quickly pulls on her converse as she walks out the door, running her fingers through her hair in the process as she hangs up her phone.

Steve, Sam and Mary are standing over Fury's grave, the sister looks at her brother carefully. She knows it's been hard for him. It's been hard for her too. It's been a little over a month since Bucky took Becca and they went into hiding. Becca left Mary a letter says she'd find a way to keep in contact with her as best she could.

"So, you've experienced this sort of thing before?" Fury calls out to the three as he walks up behind them. He's wearing dark sunglasses instead of his signature eye patch to cover his eye.

Steve and Mary nod slowly, "You get used to it." The brother says softly, looking up at the former director.

"We've been data-mining HYDRA's files. Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight, wanted to ask if you'd come." Fury says to Steve.

Steve shakes his head, "There's something i gotta do first." He tells Fury.

Nick turns to Sam, "How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities."

Sam shakes his head, "I'm more of a solider than a spy."

Fury nods, "Alright then." hugging Mary briefly as he then goes to shake the hands of her brother and friend, "Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me right here." He says, pointing down to his grave and walks off.

Natasha then walks up to the three, "You should be honored, that's about as close as he gets to saying thank you." She says to the men.

"Not going with him?" Mary asks her redheaded friend.

Natasha shakes her head, "No."

"Not staying here?" Steve asks

"I blew all my covers, I gotta go figure out a new one." She replies.

Steve nods slowly, "That might take a while."

"I'm counting on it." Natasha says as she smirks a little, "That thing you asked for, I called in a few favors from Kiev." She adds, handing Steve a file, "Will you do me a favor? Call that nurse."

"She's not a nurse." Steve retorts.

"And you're not a SHIELD agent." Natasha quips back.

"What was her name again?" Steve asks

"Sharon. She's nice." Natasha replies as she kisses Steve on the cheek turning to walk away. "Be careful, Steve. You might not want to pull on that thread." She adds, walking away.

Steve opens the file, Mary looks over his shoulder, seeing the file is about her husband. Her heart clenches as she sees a picture of Bucky in his Army uniform, then another one of him in cryo-sleep.

Sam looks at the both of them, "You're going after him?" He asks Steve and Mary.

Mary takes the file, looking it over, "You don't have to come with us." She says, even though she knows they're away from danger at the moment, she knows she could help them.

"I know." Sam says, then looks at his friends, "When do we start?"
