Cry of Rage

Gwen giggled as Bucky pulled out her chair for her. Looking back at him smiling, she sat down and he pushed her into the table. Bucky walked around the table and sat down across the table from her. When he was in his chair he look over at her and smiled back at her.

"Here are your menus."

The well dressed waiter said handing the large leather bound menu to Gwen first. when he handed Bucky his, he pulled out another smaller menu to him.

"And the wine menu."

Bucky took the smaller menu and looked over at Gwen. He's eyes floated to the menu as he flipped through the many pages. His eyes going wide seeing the prices of the bottles of wine, going up all the way to eight hundred dollars.

The waiter still looked at Bucky, waiting to hear their drink choice. Gwen watched Bucky as he looked in almost terror at the wine prices. Smiling, she turned to the waiter, getting his attention.

"I'm not to sure about him, but I'll have a beer."

She told him with a smile. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Bucky with a smirk on his lips. The waiter gave Gwen a small look then turned to Bucky, hoping that he would talk some sense into her, but Bucky just smiled and looked at Gwen.

"Make that two."

The waiter took the wine menu and left with a sigh. With him gone Gwen and Bucky picked up their menus and looked at the food choices. Gwen's brown eyes looked over to words and smiled to herself seeing some of the main dishes.

"Do we want starters?"

"I'm not sure."

"Well, Pepper told me that this place has amazing crab cakes... if that's your thing."

"Are you not a fan of crab cakes?"

"This might sound crazy, coming from a girl who was born and raised in Maine, but I'm not a fan of seafood."

Bucky lowered his menu and looked across the table at her.

"You are a weird."

Gwen lowered her own menu and glared at him with a sly smile on her face.

"Whatever grandpa."

Bucky rolled his eyes and looked at his menu again. Gwen waited a few seconds before disappearing behind her menu once again. Reading more of the options. Gwen slowly felt her tastebuds start to water.

"What sounds good?"

Bucky asked still looking over the menu. Gwen stopped reading and looked for the one option that stood out in her mind. Looking under the pasta section and found what she wanted for dinner.

"I thought that the roasted duck sounded good. You?"

"I was think a burger. There's a prime angus one, that sounds good."

Placing her menu down Gwen folded her hands over the black leather and looked across at Bucky as he closed his menu.

"Sounds delicious."

He smiled then a beer was placed to the left of him and in front of Gwen. Looking up Gwen saw their waiter standing above them.

"Have you decided on some starters?"

"No, we're going to get right into the main event."

Gwen told him with a small clap of her hands, then picked up her menu.

"I will have the roasted duck."

"Soup or salad?"

"Salad with a thousand island dress, please."

"I have the prime angus burger."

"Would you like yam fries or regular fries?"

Bucky looked over at Gwen with a questionable look. Gwen just laughed and didn't say anything.

"Yam fries... please."

He said not to sure in what he had done. The waiter took their menus and their orders back to the kitchen and when he was gone Gwen broke out into a laugh. Bucky looked over at her and gave her a look. When she was dowe laughing she looked across at him and smiled.

"Yam fries?"

"There are the best. You'll never eat potato fries again."

Bucky chuckled and picked up his beer and held it out towards Gwen. Picking up her own she smiled and held it up next to Bucky's.

"To finally going out on a date."

Bucky said with a smile. Gwen laughed again and they hit their bottles together, then took their first drink.

"I thought we would never be able to get out."

"Why's that?"

"Please, our lives are too crazy to do this, but I am relieved that this finally happened."

Bucky laughed and took another drink.

"I'm guessing you don't want to talk about work or the wedding."

Gwen let out a dramatic goran and Bucky chuckled at her actions.

"So ,I want to know about you."

"What about me Buck?"

"Who you were before this. Before working for Earth's mightiest heroes."

Letting out a shig Gwen placed her beer down and folded her hands around the bottom of the dark brown bottle.

"I went to Harvard for a handful of years. Before that I lived in Brooksides, Maine. It's a small little town along the coast. Maybe there's a population of, maybe, 17,000. Very small town, everyone knows everyone and everything kind of towns. I love it so much."

"Tell me about that."

Gwen smiled down at her hands and thought about her hometown.

"My parents still live in the same house as we alway have. It's a smallish two story house. It's painted dark green and a light brown. It's just a small walk to the ocean and it's surrounded by trees. From all the windows on the front of the house you can see the most beautiful sunsets in your whole life. My mom has a garden in the backyard, she grows any and everything. She has an amazing green thumb. My dad has a garage in the back where he brings his work home with him. He works as a mancahice, he's been doing that since I was a little baby. Then, my mom is a kindergarten teacher."

Bucky watched as Gwen talked about her childhood home and her parents. Her brown eyes would light up and a smile would come to her face as she talked. Watching her made a smile come to his face as he heard about her life before this.

"Anything else you want to know?"

"Where did you go before being stuck in New York?"

"I lived in Los Angeles before. I hated it there so much. But, Ronda and Abby lived there with me. We would always do road trips on the west coast, we loved going to Tillamook, Oregon. We went there as much as we could, it's still one of my favorite places to go in the whole world. Then I was on call for Tony, which wasn't so bad, that's why I lived in LA because he lived in Malibu."

"Did you go anywhere else?"

"I've been to London. A few years ago me and the girls all went to Europe and backpacked for two months, one of the best things I've ever done. It was amazing. We started in Dublin then ended in Moscow."

"Wow, that must have been incredible."

"I'll show you pictures when we get back."

"Anything else?"

"Nope. What about you Buck? What do I not already know about you."

He rolled his eyes at her and smiled. Gwen brought her beer back up to her lips and took another drink of her beer.

"I think you know everything there is to know. How about 20 questions?"

"Fine. Shoot."

"Favorite colour?"

"Green. Favorite animal?"

"A dog. Favorite sport?"

"Hockey. Favorite season?"

Gwen asked with a smile on her face as she took another drink.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After their food came and they eat it. They paid for their food and Bucky walked Gwen out of the five star restaurant. Walking outside Gwen shuttered and Bucky moved his arm from around her right arm, to fully around her body, pulling her in closely.

"Where to next Serge?"

"Secret."

"You know I don't like secrets."

"Coming from the girl who worked for SHIELD."

"I never 'worked' for them, I'm employed by Tony, and SHIELD nicely asked me to work with Barton and Steve."

"They asked you nicely?"

"Well, yeah, in the way of 'we don't take no for an answer' but nicely asked."

Bucky laughed and shook his head as they walked down the street together. Gwen looked around them and wondered where they we going next. Turning her gaze forward she saw a familiar face walking towards them. Steve was towards them and was holding a backpack in his hand. Seeing Steve, Bucky waved his arm over his head at his long time friend and Steve waved back. When they walked past them Steve handed Bucky the backpack and smiled at the two.

"Have fun you two."

Steve said with a smile then walked right past them. Gwen yelled that Steve was a butt head to his back, but Steve just waved at them. Gwen laughed and turned to look at Bucky.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Come on."

He had with a smile and they crossed the street with a mob of more people. Gwen recognized where they were going.

"Why are we going to Central Park at night? Are you crazy?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan. And you're with a super solider that won't let anyone touch a hair on this pretty little head of yours."

Bucky told her as he fixed the backpack on his shoulder then kissed the top of her head as they walked. Gwen giggled at him and poked his side. They turned a corner and walking along a lit path into Central Park. Gwen looked around seeing other couples walking the same way that they were. She moved her eyes back up to Bucky and shook her head.

"What are we doing."

"Just a little bit more and you'll know."

Gwen groaned at his words but kept walking, seeing that more and more people were walking the same way. Then she saw a few police officers looking around the area. She was guessing that most people would be worried right now, but she was with Bucky. She was safe no matter what happened. Plus, he wouldn't put her in danger in Central Park in at night.

Walking around a corner on the path Gwen saw what Bucky was keeping secret. Below them was a slope of a hill, on the grass of the slope were people setting up their little camp like area to face the bottom of the hill. At the bottom of the hill was a large white tarp sheet. On the tarp was letter that said 'Movies in the Park'. Gwen put the pieces together and stopped walking. Bucky turned around to look at her and saw her with a smile on her face.

"You didn't. This is so cute!"

She said hurrying over the small amount of space between them and jumped onto him in a hug. Bucky laughed and wrapped her arms around her and spun around a few times, before letting her down.

"And they are showing the Dead Poets Society."

"I love that movie!"

Bucky smiled and kissed her forehead. Seeing her smile even wider when she heard that the Dead Poets Society was the movie. Bucky wrapped his arm back around her and they continued to walk down the hill and tried to find a spot.

"How'd you know that I love this movie?"

"I asked Ronda. She gave me a list of all your favorite things."

"Oh, Ron. I knew I kept her around for some reason."

She said with a smile as they came across as pash of green grass that wasn't taken up by some else's blanket and chairs. Stopping, Bucky placed the backpack down and unzipped it, then pulled out a blanket. He laid it down and Gwen picked up the backpack and stuck her hand inside. She pulled out another blanket. Bucky turned around and took the backpack from her hands and started to set up their area. Gwen smiled as she watched Bucky set up their blanket fort. When he was done he sat down and looked up at her with a smile on his face.

"Why don't you come down here, little lady."

He asked her patting the spot next to him. She giggled as she sat down and curled up into his side. Bucky pulled a few blankets over them and put his hands on the ground behind him, propping him up.

"The movie will start in just five minutes, everyone."

A man said over a PA system somewhere near the projector at the base of the hill. Gwen was giddy with excitement as she curled up closer to Bucky.

"I'm so excited. You are going to love this movie, I swear by it."

Bucky chuckled and wrapped his left arm around her kissed the top of her head again.

"That's what Ronda told me."

"Robin Williams is the greatest actor of all time. He's just amazing. One of these days we are going to watch all of his movies, it will take a while, but it's worth it."

"Anything you say, dollface."

"You love doing whatever I tell you, huh?"

"You're my princess, anything you want you get."

Gwen giggled again and turned red in the face. Bucky took his other hand and placed it on her chin, and pulled her into a kiss. Gwen slowly started to kiss him him back and she worked her hands around his neck. Bucky's grip on her tighten and Gwen pulled away and smiled up at him.

"That is honestly the sweetest any man as ever said to me."

"Like or not dollface, you are a princess."

"I've alway knew it."

She said with a sly smile then she kissed his nose then turned to look at the movie screen. The screen had changed from the message that was there before to the main menu of the DVD.

"It's starting."

She said grabbing onto his arm, nearling jumping up and down. Bucky rolled his eyes watched the screen fade to black then the movie started to play.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bucky wrapped his arms around Gwen she he felt her cry softly. She was know sitting between his legs and both of his arms were wrapped around her body. Her head was resting on his chest as they watched the tail end of the movie. Bucky kissed the top of her head as they watched as Todd run in the snow angered and confused about Neal's death. Gwen cried every time at this movie and she didn't care, it was one of her favorites. No amount of tears was ever going to make her stop watching this movie. Bucky had admitted himself that this movie was really good, better than anything they had back in the 40s. Then again almost everything that was in the 21st century was better than the 40s.

After about another 20 minutes or so the movie had ended and people around them started to pack up their belongs. Bucky and Gwen didn't move. The couple stayed for a while longer, waiting past the crowd of people leaving the park. Slowly they untangled themselves and started to clean up their blankets. As Gwen folded the blanket in her hands and Bucky just crammed the big blanket that they sat on into the backpack. Rolling her eyes Gwen started to fold another blanket as Bucky cramped another one inside.

"Just fold it."

She told him as she put the blanket in the backpack. Bucky stopped and looked over at her and shot her a playful glare.

"If you want them folded, you do it."

"With pleasure."

She told him, ripping the blanket from his hands and folding it. Bucky sat on the grass and just watched her work.

"You are such an ass."

She stated when she zipped the backpack and threw at him. He caught it as he stood up and swung it over she shoulder, glaring at her. Walking over to him she punched his chest and linked her arm with his. Rolling his eyes he walked up the hill with Gwen at his side.

"That was the best date I have ever been on."

"You think this is over?"

"Buck, it's like elvan at night."

"What's a date without ice cream?"

Gwen let out a laugh as they made it up the hill and started towards the exit of the park. Once they were out they quickly made it across the street and towards Grand Central Station.

"Pepper told me about this frozen yogurt place near the tower that you like."

"Oh, my God. I love Fro-Fro Berry."

Gwen said with a food lust moan. Bucky chuckled and pulled her towards the sidewalk.

"So she says. But, what the hell is frozen yogurt?"

"It's like really good ice cream. Don't worry you'll like it. Then you get to put whatever you want on it. I love Fro-Fro Berry because they have the toppings. It will blow whatever ice cream was in 1943 out of the water. Steve loves it."

Bucky shook his head and kissed her head again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gwen hurried over to Bucky who was still looking at the options he had for a yogurt flavor. She had already finished topping her yogurt and went to help her hopelessly lost super soldier. She missed this, Bucky and Steve being lost in this new world. Steve had come to grips with 2014, so has Bucky, but there were still some things that boggled his mind.

"Need help Serge?"

Turning his head he looked at her and then back to the wall. There were seven different flavors; original, pistachio, toasted marshmallow, apple pie, Pina Colada, chewy brownie, and mango.

"What one did you get?"

"Apple pie. It's my favorite. You can taste the flavors in one of the sampler cups."

She said pulling towards the wall and grabbing a handful of small ketchup cups. Quickly she started to put small amounts of frozen yogurt into the cups. As she moved on to the next one she handed the filled up ones to Bucky. He didn't eat any of them until he had all seven of them. Gwen turned back to him and took some of them from his hand.

"Go on then."

She said with a smile on his face. Bucky looked down at the cups in his hands and held up the one with brown yogurt.

"This one is brownie, right?"

"Yes. Now eat them."

He held up the cup and sucked the yogurt into his mouth and his taste bubs came to life.

"Oh, my God."

"I know right? More, eat more."

Bucky hurried through the rest of the sample cups and he just wanted more.

"I want brownie."

Laughing Gwen got a big cup and handed it to him.

"Go for it, Serge."

Smiling at her he took the cup and filled it high with brownie flavor frozen yogurt. After his cup was full, Gwen ushered him over to the topping sation and broke him lose. Bucky's eyes went wide at all the varieties of toppings. His mind was telling him to go for the fruit, but his heart and the rest of his mind overrode that thought and went with the sweets. Bucky dropped spoonfuls upon spoonfuls of different candies and baked good bits onto his frozen yogurt.

Gwen silently watched him from the cashier desk and waited for him. His blue eyes looked up to see her looking at him. She shook her head and he put the spoon back into the container and walked over to her. He looked down and saw that she had put hers on a piece of metal on the counter. Putting his next to her's he saw as the young woman behind the counter looked at the iPad and came up with their total.

"That will be $28. 30."

Gwen let out a whistle and pulled out her wallet from her purse. Bucky went to objected but she beat him to it.

"You paid for dinner. Plus, I have a punch card to fill up, baby."

She told him as she pulled out her debit card and a pink, green, and baby blue stock paper card. She handed it to the girl and the girl behind the counter. The frozen yogurt employee did her job then handed the cards back to Gwen.

"There you are, Gwen. Just one more and you'll get your free yogurt."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Have a nice night, you two."

"You too, Sara."

Gwen put the card back into her wallet, then into her purse. Bucky grabbed both of their frozen yogurts, he could feel Sara's eyes on his left hand as he grabbed cups. He's blue eyes went up to Sara's and she avoided his as she looked away. Bucky followed Gwen out the door and out to the street. Standing next to her he handed Gwen her yogurt cup and the two walked towards the tower.

"This is amazing."

Bucky said through his mouthful of brownie yogurt. Gwen laughed at him and took a bit of her own yogurt.

"What you'd get?"

He asked as he eyed the cup of yogurt in her hands. She batted his hand away from her cup, he smiled and took another bite.

"Apple pie with chocolate fudge pop tarts, roasted coconut, hot caramel sauce, and mini M&M's."

"Amazing."

"And you are not getting any of it."

She told him with a manilic laugh. Bucky rolled his eyes and just kept eating his first cup of FroYo. They kept walking towards the tower and soon they stood in front of the main doors. Again Gwen took out her wallet and pulled out her Avengers key card. Holding it to to the fob on the outside of the door and the light turned green, and the door opened. Bucky held the door open for her and gave her smile as she walked through the door. Once inside the lights in the room turned on.

"Mister Stark will be pleased that you are back Ms. Brewster, you too Mister Barnes."

"You can tell Tony that we had a wonderful evening and that he can stick his butt into it in the morning."

"Will do Ms. Brewster.Is that all ma'am?"

"It will be all. You can call it a night, JARVIS."

"Thank you ma'am. You and Mister Barnes have a good evening."

"Thank you JARVIS."

Both Gwen and Bucky said at the same time. Standing in front of the elevator Bucky hit the up button then the doors opened. Letting Gwen go first she pressed the 39th floor button before Bucky go inside. The ride up the floor was quiet as the two eat the last bit of frozen yogurt. Gwen was done first, to her surprise, Bucky finished not longer after. When he was done he looked over at her and smiled. Gwen rolled her brown eyes as she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"How'd you like it?"

"The best ever."

She smiled and nuzzled her face in his chest, letting out a sigh.

"I told you so."

Then the elevator stopped and the doors opened to their floor. Walking inside with Gwen still face first in his chest.

"Buck, stop."

She said giggling as he walked into the kitchen. He threw the empty cups into the sink, then kissed her. Gwen quickly kissed him back and moved her hands up around his neck as he picked her up.

"Gwen."

He moaned into her mouth as they kissed. Smiling Gwen pulled her lips away from his and moved to his ear.

"Buck, this was amazing."

He smiled and turned his head so he was looking into her eyes.

"Best date ever."

Gwen giggled again, but she stopped when she heard the noise of someone snoring. Both Gwen and Bucky's eyes ripped away from each other's and moved to to living room where they saw Steve asleep on the coach. Gwen covered her mouth as she laughed when she saw Steve.

"Shh."

Bucky said quietly as he laughed too. Putting Gwen back on the floor they quickly hurried across the room and down the hallway, stopping in front of Gwen's door. She turned around and looked up at Bucky with a smile on her face.

"I did have an amazing time. I'm not going to lie."

Bucky smiled down at her and kissed her nose.

"As did I. We need to do it more."

"That's something I could get used to."

Gwen said with a smiled as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him one last time.

"Night, Serge."

"Oh, come on, dollface."

"I have stuff to do in the morning. I'm sorry. After tomorrow I'm all your, trust me."

"Can't I just come in."

Giving Bucky a sly smile, she opened the door, and took a step inside with her hand laced in his.

"I could use a snuggle buddy."

"You just ruined the moment."

Laughed Gwen kissed his chest then walked over to her bed and started to take her clothes off. When she was in only her bra and paties, Bucky came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"You look amazing, dollface."

Gwen's face turned red as she traced her fingers along his left arm. Feeling his breath on her neck, he left kisses on her skin, making her crazy.

"Buck. I have things to do."

"I can't tell my girlfriend she looks amazing?"

Turning around Gwen looked up at Bucky with wide eyes. He chuckled down at her and removed his arms from around her and cupped her face.

"What?"

"You called me your girlfriend."

"I guess I did. It has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?"

"Buck, are you..."

"Yes I am."

"I... um, yes."

Bucky smiled and kissed her again. She pulled his shirt over his head and put it on herself.

"What are you waiting for, hot shot?"

She asked as she climbed into bed and got under the blankets. Bucky shook his head and quickly got out of his shoes and pants before jumping into bed next to her. Pulling her closer to him, Bucky kissed her again and rested his forehead against her's.

"I'm guessing that we're moving in together now."

"That was a little fast."

"Come on, I have no where else to go and I'm guessing you want your guest room back."

Gwen giggled and kissed him and then turned around in his arms.

"I guess we can."

She told him with a smile on her lips. Bucky chuckled and kissed the spot behind her ear, making her squirm.

"Night, dollface."

"Night, Serge."
