Karli's on the move; she'll strike soon. Bucky and Sam have been in long, tense conversations with each other and with Torres, and she herself has been keeping an obsessive eye on the tracker blip that is Batroc.
It's a lot. The air in the apartment is tense. But she still has to laugh at the sight that greets her when she walks into the living room: Bucky crouched down, his phone out as he takes a photo of Alpine, who is lounging in lazy grandeur, soaking up a puddle of sunshine.
"That'll be a good one," she approves. "Baby, I've been wondering – what happened to your nice camera? You didn't leave it in Wakanda, did you?"

Not that long for him, she knows, but she thinks -- she hopes -- that if she'd been the one Snapped, he'd still feel the same way.

Date: 2022-05-13 11:25 pm (UTC)No one in Madripoor could ever understand anything like this. Even romantic entanglements were just another way to gain power or control. They couldn't possibly understand how it feels to be so thoroughly cherished by someone who loves her so much, even though he's seen the worst of what she can be.

Date: 2022-05-13 11:37 pm (UTC)Her back arches sharply as she gasps, the warmth and wetness of his mouth sending sweet electricity arcing through her as he pulls on her skin and as his vibranium fingers continue to tease her. She shifts restlessly on the bed, drowning in his attention, in every deliberate kiss and touch.

Date: 2022-05-14 12:07 am (UTC)His name is half a gasp, half a moan as he teases the sensitive bud of nerves there at the join of her legs. Every nerve feels attuned to his slightest touch, and her laugh is breathless. "You're such a tease."
