[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

The scene where the Howling Commandos finally reunite with Bucky is - quite literally - chaos.

Even Kelly, who just wanted to stay with Bucky for a while now, silently backed out when facing Steve and Bucky's reunion.On the one hand, she deeply knows how deep the friendship between the two of them is; on the other hand, she really can't bear the scene of a room full of super soldiers, all of whom look like they are about to burst into tears—well, she herself I almost cried too.

When Steve rushed to grab Bucky tightly with tears in his eyes, Kelly quietly added another space expansion spell to the small cave, and then slipped out silently.After a while, the rest of the Howling Commando came out, coughing and coughing, blowing their noses, and snowflakes got into their eyes.The atmosphere outside was a little awkward for a while, Kelly coughed lightly.

"So, what have they both said about me behind my back?" She asked with a smile, "Free Q&A time, just this one time."

After a moment of silence, several people suddenly exploded.

"Bucky's dog tag, is it your spell?"

"The captain said you saved his and his mother's lives?"

"They say you have a brother. Didn't he come back with you?"

"Did you really participate in the Battle of Warsaw?"

At first, Kelly even had the illusion of being in a press conference.But when Steve finally came out with Bucky's shoulders in his arms, she was already sitting on the floor with several people, chatting together.Gabe said with gestures, "So we're still betting whether the captain used sex/seduction to get the half of the ham—"

"God, I thought your bets were over." Steve sighed.

"You underestimate us." Bucky smiled and bumped him on the shoulder.It seems that his persuasion effect is not bad, at least it is much better than Kelly.

"I guess so." Steve shrugged, obviously not interested in chatting, "Kelly, can you send us to Paris? Can you contact the SSR now?"

"Paris?" Kelly asked, raising her eyebrows. "In Paris, I can only guarantee that I can reach the Eiffel Tower. And, of course... What's wrong? Are there any special circumstances?"

"No, that's fine," Steve said, clearly in captain mode, "Guys, inform General Philip and Agent Carter that Bucky's alive and Kelly's back. We'll go straight to the Eiffel Tower and get them ready Prepare."

The two immediately went to adjust the communication station.Kelly asked in surprise, "You haven't notified SSR yet?"

Steve bit his lips a little guiltily: "In case this is some kind of trap. And in case you have any special circumstances, it's inconvenient to let them know—so that we can at least have time to make up a story."

"It's okay." Kelly smiled, feeling warm in her heart.There was a quick rustle on the radio over there, and then Peggy's voice.

The next few hours were hectic. Kelly took them two at a time to apparate to Paris, and they were immediately picked up by the army. Bucky was taken directly to the hospital, while Kelly and the others Was taken to the headquarters of the SSR.The officer who led the way signaled her to walk into a single room alone, followed by General Philip and interrogated her in detail. This conversation lasted for two hours.

"Now I have a report to write." Finally, General Philip rubbed the space between his brows and took a sip of water from his teacup, "Okay, Miss Cosmo, let's stop here for today, and then you and I will both I can't sit still."

Kelly was naturally eager to see Bucky, but she didn't rush out immediately: "How many days do you have to ask?"

"According to my standard, five or six days. But, who knows." General Philip waved his hand, "You have to be prepared, they will not easily let a witch who has been resurrected from the dead go away."

"Can't Howard do the research directly?" Kelly raised her eyebrows and said, "I won't cooperate with other people's research, so let's talk about it in advance."

"Oh, I'm afraid you won't be able to choose then, Miss Cosmo." General Philip said, but there was not much threatening element in his words.Kelly shrugged: She doesn't care about this threat, anyway, Steve and Bucky's position is already very stable, and Howard and Peggy don't have to worry about it themselves.As for herself, if she is really threatened, she can withdraw from the world at any time. In fact, there is nothing that can be manipulated.

After going out the door, she asked the guard for the way, and then walked straight to the ward.Unexpectedly, Steve and other team members were not in the room. Except for Bucky, there was only one young nurse in the ward, holding a needle in his hand and staring at Bucky's hand intently, looking very nervous.

Kelly greeted him and walked in: "Isn't Steve here?"

"As soon as he came back, he was called to an emergency meeting. It seemed to be related to the intelligence intercepted on the train." Bucky shrugged, but kept his right hand still.The two chatted casually, and Kelly couldn't help frowning: the little nurse was probably too nervous and missed a few needles.She was about to say that she might as well come by herself, but Bucky spoke first.

"Did your boyfriend say that your hair color is beautiful?" He asked with a smile, and the effect was immediate: the nurse girl forgot to be nervous all of a sudden, two blushes flew up on her face, and she shook her head.

"Really? It's such a pity. I just want to let you know that the color of your hair when the sun shines on it is like a golden daisy. It's very cute." Bucky smiled and praised, "Isn't it that such a cute girl came to take my blood? Should I be nervous? Your eyes are cute too, you know that?"

The shy little nurse shook her head, but couldn't help but blushed and laughed.She lowered her head and stuck the needle in again, finding the blood vessel accurately this time.

"Good girl," Bucky boasted.The nurse smiled uncontrollably, and looked back at Kelly a little uneasy.Kelly smiled back at her, watched her put away the blood sample, exited and closed the door behind her.

"Hey, I'm still listening." Kelly waited for the nurse girl to leave before turning to Bucky with a smile, "Did you forget about me when you praised her for being cute?"

"How can you describe it as cute." Bucky looked serious and looked at her affectionately, "You are the most amazing, charming, beautiful, and breathtaking girl I have ever seen. The word cute is too pale to describe you. I'm not a poet, so I can't describe your beauty properly with words, why don't I hide my clumsiness?"

Kelly couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile: "It's too exaggerated, Bucky."

"Who's exaggerating?" Bucky stared at her, his gray-green eyes bottomless. "You should have seen me when you found me in Snow Valley, Kelly. I lay there, opened my eyes, and saw You were in front of me in the white snow with your hair down your shoulders and your cheeks flushed and I thought I was going to die and an angel from heaven came to pick me up. You don't know how beautiful you are, Kelly, you're like It is the goddess who stepped into the world to rescue her knight."

Kelly's cheeks were uncontrollably red all the way to the ears, but she pursed her lips and put away her smile.She blinked and looked back at Bucky in the same way: "I don't think there is any goddess who deserves a knight like you - you are so upright, brave, loyal, kind, and handsome, more perfect than the most perfect knight I have ever imagined." Be better." She walked forward slowly, squatted halfway in front of Bucky's hospital bed, and looked up at him sitting on the bed, "But I'm sure, if anyone is lucky enough to get the heart of this knight, Then crossing the snowy field to find him is just the most trivial thing. She will definitely travel through countless universes, take out her own heart, and hold it in front of him."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and gently pressed the gauze that bound his severed wrist with her lips.

There was a moment of silence, and then both of them laughed out loud at the same time.Bucky reached out and pulled Kelly up, and Kelly fell into his arms, laughing until she couldn't breathe, and buried her cheek happily on Bucky's shoulder.

"I didn't even know you would say such things." Bucky said with a smile while panting, "Oh my God, if I had known earlier, I swear I would absolutely drown you in love letters."

"It's fine to be submerged." Kelly giggled and pressed her forehead against the hollow of his shoulder. "But maybe we can have a round now and then. I like it."

"I like it too." Bucky lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the top of her head.There was an awkward cough from outside the door.

"Come on in, guys! I heard you!" Bucky yelled with a smirk, and Kelly lifted her head from his arms and sat down on the edge of the bed again.

"I just said you must have done it on purpose, you two." Steve grumbled as he pushed the door open and walked in, "When did you know we were outside?"

"Probably from when you entered the corridor." Kelly smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think Bucky added the part about the goddess? Why did I respond to him like that?"

"I knew you two were being so dramatic on purpose!" Steve groaned, covering his face with his hands, and the members of the Roaring Commandos behind him all showed expressions that couldn't bear to look directly.

"No." Unexpectedly, Bucky said firmly, "Kelly, everything I told you is sincere, including the part about the goddess."

"Enough is enough, James Barnes!" Kelly blushed, and jokingly raised her hand to hit him, "Enough is enough!"

"I never know what is enough to stop my love for you." Bucky said seriously, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Angrily, laughing and blushing, Kelly turned her head and kissed him hard on the lips. "Shut up."

Bucky shrugged, tactfully not continuing.

The Howling Commandos were either whistling or coughing. "I guess we should come back at another time." Steve said dryly, but there was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.

"I don't mind if you bring Peggy here." Kelly blinked at him, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling. "You all come here as a whole team, is there something wrong? Or are you just here to visit?"

"Just finished the battle meeting, I stopped by to see you." Steve said, "By the way, the next operation is tomorrow, will you participate, Kelly?"

Kelly turned her head and glanced at Bucky, who raised an eyebrow at her, and she turned to face Steve: "How long?"

"It won't be long, we are going to attack the German atomic/atom/bomb research base." Steve said, "You know, there are many important scientists there, and it is better to capture them alive than to kill them directly, so we think you should go to Might be more helpful..."

"The Heisenberg group?" Kelly asked in surprise.She doesn't know much about the history of physics, but Heisenberg and Germany's atomic/bomb research is so famous that she knows some.

"From the information we have obtained, it is indeed them." Steve said, "If you participate, Peggy will come to you later and take you to prepare for combat. We will set off in the early morning."

"Okay." Kelly agreed simply.We haven't seen each other for many years, and the reunion is because Bucky is seriously injured. Kelly really doesn't want to leave him for a moment, but on the other hand, the fact of the atomic bomb is too important. If Germany really causes the atomic bomb, the consequences Unbelievable, Kelly naturally understands the severity.But even so, her hand unconsciously groped for Bucky's fingers.

She touched an empty space, and a little higher, she touched the bandages and gauze wrapped around the stump.For a moment, both Bucky and Kelly froze slightly, including Steve, who was standing across from him.Then Kelly smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to gently cover the gauze, as if she was touching the rarest treasure in the world.

"Tell Peggy to come later." Bucky smiles too, winking at Steve.

Steve has that awkward, overwhelmed look again, like he just broke the two of them having sex, "Don't you guys mean to…"

"Guess?" Kelly said with a smile.

"No, I don't want to guess." Steve retorted firmly. "Let's go, guys, give these lovebirds some privacy."

The members of the Howling Commandos bid them a flurry of goodbyes and closed the door behind them.The two listened to their footsteps going away, Bucky raised his eyebrows at Kelly: "Do you think they will hide in the corner and eavesdrop?"

"Let them listen." Kelly fell back into his arms again, "I don't mind."

Bucky hummed, and slowly ran his good hand through her hair.The two of them didn't really take advantage of this short period of time to do anything that outsiders shouldn't watch. They just stuck together and occasionally exchanged shallow kisses on wrists, foreheads and cheeks.

"I haven't seen you in so many years." Kelly whispered, "I'm sure, I'm really jealous of Steve."

"I'm jealous of your colleagues from the previous world, too," Bucky said.

"It's not fair, you have to know that they may only be with me for a few years in their lives." Kelly said half-jokingly, but did not refute him.And she herself was illogically jealous of the members of the Howling Commando—they lived with Bucky day and night, ate bad military rations in the same pot, and slept on the same snow field.If given the choice, Kelly would rather give up the comfortable and soft blanket in the apartment provided by Kingsman and follow him to sleep in the snow field.

Frustratingly, neither of them had much choice.
