Y/N POV
“Seven months ago I made a decision that affected this team. As you all know Emily had lost a lot of blood after her fight with Doyle. But the doctors were able to stabilise her. And she was air lifted from Boston to Bethesda under a covert ex filtration. Her identity was strictly need to know.” Hotch spoke to the room.
“She’s alive,” Pen asked in shock.
“But we buried her.” Spencer said confused.
“As I said I take full responsibility for the decision. If anyone has any issues they should be directed towards me.”
“Any issues? Yeah I got issues” Morgan said in a mixture of shock and anger.
Just then you saw Emily walk in… alive.
“Oh my….god,” you said under your breath. You looked over at Morgan he looked just if not more shocked than you. He had been there when Emily had been attacked.
“I am so sorry. I really am. Not a day went by that I didn’t want to … Really I. You didn’t deserve that. And I’m so sorry” Emily said.
Everyone was getting up and hugging her. You briefly meet eyes with Spencer and he looked surprised. The only other person besides Hotch that didn’t look surprised was JJ… had she known? Did she help get Emily out and into hiding? You gave Emily a very tight hug.
“I missed you so much” she whispered in your ear.
“I missed you more” you whispered back.
“There’s so much I want to tell you guys, and I will I promise. But right now I really want to know what’s going on with Declan.” Emily said.

Bucky POV
“So … what do you think Natasha. Do you think she will like it?” Bucky asked Natasha after showing her the ring he had chosen.
“She’s going to love it. I can’t believe you two are getting engaged” Natasha respond looking at the ring before leaning back into Steve’s arms. The three of them were in Steve and Natasha room that they were staying in while in Wakanda.
“It’s been a long time coming. I had planned on asking her before the war and everything. But then … well you know what happened. It’s not the exact ring I was going to use, I was planning on using my mums. But Shuri helped with making this one to be as close to that one.” Bucky said slipping the box that housed the ring into his pants pocket.
“It’s definitely beautiful. So have you decided on how you’re going to ask her yet?” Natasha asked.
“Yeah, I have the whole evening planned. Thanks again Steve for helping me plan it, could not have done that without you.” Bucky said.
“Of course Buck, you kidding. You and y/n deserve the best engagement story after everything the two of you have gone through.” Steve replied
“Where is she right now anyway?” Natasha asked
“I believe she is with Okoye and the Dora Milaji doing some training. Okoye had offered to doing some training with her. I think she wanted to learn a different way to fight, not the way she had been you know trained to do. Plus I think it has helped a lot with her ability to control her powers.” Bucky said.
“Yeah I joined in on that training yesterday. My god they are impressive. I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of them. I was so sore yesterday when I went to bed” Natasha replied
“You should have seen her Buck. She was passed on the bed when I got back.” Steve said laughing but he stopped once Natasha elbowed him in the stomach. Bucky laughed at the interaction between the two of them. He was happy that his best friend had found someone. He looked down at his watch and jumped up when he saw the time.
“I’ve got to run. Need to freshen up before this evening. I’ll see the two of you later with the rest?” Bucky said heading to the door.
“Good luck Buck!” Steve called as Bucky left the room and headed to his and y/n room to get ready. When he got back to the room he hid the ring box in his case and locked it up before hopping into the shower. He hadn’t been this nervous about anything since he first asked her out all those years ago when they were in high school. As he was getting out of the shower he heard the room door open and close.
“James? Are you here?” Y/n called
“In here!” He called as he was drying himself off. He wrapped his towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. “How was training with the Dora?” He asked giving her a peck on the cheek.
“Fun and tiring. But I definitely learned a lot” she replied putting her bag down at the foot of the bed.
“What have you been up to this afternoon?” She asked turning back to face him.
“I spent the afternoon with Steve and Natasha. Now hop into the shower so we can get going” Bucky said pushing her towards the bathroom door.
“You got something special planed?” She asked
Bucky bit his lip and chuckled “Just get in the shower and then you will see” he replied as he opened the door to the bathroom.
“Would you at least tell me what I should wear? I need to have some idea of what we are doing so I know what to wear” she complained.
“Something nice. Now stop talking and get in the shower.” He said
“Alright alright I’m going!” She laughed closing the door and a few moments later he heard the shower begin to run. He went back to his bag and took the ring box out and slipped it into his pocket. If all went well by this evening he and y/n would be engaged. He began to go over in his head how he was going to ask her.
Y/N POV
You jumped out of the shower and wiped the steam off the mirror and looked at your reflection. It had now been two weeks since the chip had been removed and you felt more like yourself than you had in years. As you towel dried your hair your mind began to wander to what James could have planed for this afternoon and evening. He had been acting a little secretive the last few days, whispering with Steve and Nat and stoping when you entered the room. Even Nat had been acting funny, always smiling when she was talking to you and asking what you and James would be up to later, almost as if she knew something.
Shaking your head you left the bathroom with your towel wrapped around you and entered the bedroom you found James lying on the bed flipping through the copy of The Hobbit he had ‘borrowed’ from your collection of books. He looked up at you as you went to your wardrobe and began to look through the clothes you had brought with you. You found a nice dress you had bought last year when you and Nat had gone shopping together. You turned around and showed it to James.
“Since I have no idea where you are taking me or what we are doing. Is this suitable for what you have planned?” You asked.
“That’s perfect” He smiled
“Right, well I’ll get changed as fast as I can then I’m all yours for whatever adventure you have planned for us” you smiled as you headed back to the bathroom to get dressed and dry your hair. You looked at your reflection once more in the mirror and decided to add a little bit of light make up to complete the look, whatever James had planned you figured that a little bit of makeup would not hurt.
When you stepped out of the bathroom James face lit up when he saw you. He was looking at you the same way he did when he picked you up for your first date.
“You look breathtaking dove. Absolutely gorgeous.” James said getting up off the bed and stepped towards. He grabbed you by your hips and pulled you into him. You let out a little yelp and he gave you a quick but deep kiss and pulled away to look into your eyes.
“So, you ready?” He asked you with a twinkle in his eyes.
“As ready as I can be considering I have no idea what you have planned” you joked.
“All in good time my love all in good time” he said linking his arm into yours and leading you out of the room.
James was taking you on a nice walk around Wakanda showing you places that he hadn’t shown you yet. The two of you ended up near a beautiful lake. He walked over the edge of the lake under a tree that had beautiful flowers blooming in it. He stopped there and turned to you.
“This was one of my favourite spots to sit and reflect while I was recovering after they deprogrammed me.” He said with a shy smile.
“It’s beautiful James” you said looking up at the colourful flowers.
“I wanted to bring you here because it sort of reminded me of the tree in Central Park where we would have picnics.” James said
“I remember those. But this tree… I’ve never seen flowers with such rich colours” you said looking up at them again. “They are gorgeous.” You breathed out taking in the beauty of them plus with the setting sun the colours were even more vibrant. In the two weeks you had been here you had grown to fall in love with the sunsets here in Wakanda, they were definitely the most breathtaking ones you had ever seen, the colours seemed so much more vibrant and richer than any other sunset you had ever seen.
“Not as gorgeous as you.” He spoke softy “Y/N?” He asked and you looked back at him as he took your hands in his.
“What is it James?” You asked.
“You have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. You never fail to make me smile or laugh. And the fact that you choose to share your love with me makes me feel like won the lottery. Everyday with you is better than the last. And …” he took a deep breath in before continuing “I want to spend every day with you for the rest of my life.” He slowly dropped down onto one knee, your eyes widened in surprise. “Y/n I have loved you all my life and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and being lobed by you. So, y/n. My turtledove will you marry me?” He asked with tears in his eyes as he pulled out a small black box out of his back pocket and opened it. Inside the box was a simple ring with a silver band and a beautiful stone set in it with a few smaller ones on either side.
You looked from James to the ring and back to James again. You felt tears collecting in your eyes at the sight before you.
“Yes” you said in a small voice. You cleared your throat and tried again. “Yes, of course I’ll marry you!” You said through the tears that had begun to fall from your eyes. James smiled wide as he took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto your finger, it fit perfectly. James stood back up and wrapped his arms around your waist around you and picked you up and spun you around.
“We’re getting married!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. You giggled as he spun you around and you grabbed his face with both of your hands and leaned down and gave him a kiss. “We’re getting married” you whispered against his lips. He placed you back down on the ground and looked at you with so much love in his eyes that you couldn’t help but give him another kiss.
“Was this what you, Steve and Nat have been whispering about for the last week?” You asked
“Yeah, I wanted it to be perfect” he smiled sheepishly.
“Well it definitely was” you said
“Plus this was a long time coming. I… was actually planning on asking you before, you know before I went off to war and everything. But I decided I didn’t want leave you newly engaged when I left.” He said. Your mind went back to the memory of you sitting on his mother’s living room couch when Becca had given you his leather jacket and his mum told you that he had been planning on proposing to you.
“Well you got there in the end. Anyway what’s 70 something years with cyro and forced control? We get to have a fresh start now. We can go anywhere we want and do whatever we want.” You smiled.
“We better get going dove?” He said looking at his watch.
“Huh?” You asked confused.
“Everyone is waiting for us. We are having a dinner to celebrate” he smiled
“You planned a dinner without knowing what my answer?” You asked.
“Call me optimistic. Plus it was Natasha’s idea, she was convinced that you were going to say yes” he said.
“So… is this dinner supposed to be a surprise or…” you asked as James linked his fingers in yours and led you back towards the palace.
“Uhh….”James said with a guilty look on his face.
“James! Did you ruin a surprise dinner that I am sure Nat has spent the last week organising with the help of Shuri?” You asked
“Yes…but…” James continued
“But what? You know if Nat finds out that you told me she is going to be pissed” You half joked.
“I know, but I figured I would warn you that we are having dinner to celebrate.” James said placing a kiss on your forehead. After leaving the lake you and Bucky made a detour to a fenced off field and said hi to his goats. Over the last two weeks you had paid a visit to them over several occasions and would give them lots of head scratches. James was still baffled by the fact that you wanted to see his goats, you just told him that you wanted to get to know the goats that helped him in his recovery in Wakanda.
As you made your way back to the palace you walked through the street market and watched as children ran through the streets, people doing shopping and playing music on a range of instruments. A few of the people smile and waved at James, remembering him from before. A sweet young girl came up to you and gave you a hand woven bracelet.
“A gift for the friend of Mr. Barnes” she said with a sweet smile and ran off before you could say anything. You looked at James with a confused look on your face. James just smiled and shrugged. This man… he had something up his sleeve and he was not going to tell you what else he had planned.
The two of you continued to make your way through the market and back to the place people came up to you and gave you one flower at a time until by the time you got to the palace steps you must have had about two dozen beautiful flowers of varying colours. As you climbed the steps you saw Nat and Steve waiting for the two of you. Nat was bouncing on the balls of her feet and it was obvious she was trying to hide her grin.
“Well!?!” She yelled when the you had James had gotten halfway up the steps. You had considered making her stew for the answer a bit but you were just too excited to tell her. You gripped the flowers in your right hand and lifted your left hand to show her the ring on your finger and gave her a huge smile.
“I said yes!” You shouted
“OMG!!! Congratulations.” She squealed as she ran down the steps and gave you a huge hug.
“Thanks Nat” you said returning the hug before she let go.
“I see you got the flowers” she said pointing to the bouquet in your hands.
“Was that your idea?” You asked
“No … that would be Steve’s idea” Nat said gesturing with her head to Steve who was still standing at the top of the steps.
“Mr. Grump over here thought that proposing under the tree would be enough. But we told him it needed to be big.” Nat said as the three of you made your way up the steps.
“Hey did you just call me a grump?” James asked.
“Yes… yes I did” Nat said
“Is this because I shot you that one time? Because I have apologised for that.” James said
“No, it’s because you have been a grump ever since I met you. The only time I have seen you crack a smile is around Steve and y/n.” Nat replied
“She has a point Buck. You are a bit closed off” Steve said giving James a hug. “Congratulations to both of you. I am so incredibly happy for both of you” Steve said as he gave you a hug as well.
“Thanks Steve. And the flowers were a great touch.” You said returning the hug.
“Right well we better head inside then.” Nat said. You looked at Nat and she still had that mischievous smile on her face. Just as you were about to ask her what exactly what was going on she pushed open the door and led the group inside and down a long hallway.
The group got to a set of wide and tall doors. Steve and Nat went in front of the doors and each took a handle. They pushed the doors open and gestured for the two of you to step inside. As you stepped inside you were met with loud cheers and shouts.
“CONGRATULAGTIONS!!” a group of people shouted. Wanda came rushing up to you and gave you a huge hug. Over her shoulder you saw that everyone was here. Sam, Peitro, Bruce (who had stayed in Wakanda to work with Shuri on some projects), Tony, Clint and Yelena. T’Challa, Shuri, Ayo, Okoye and Queen Ramonda were also there.
“Oh my god you guys are all here! When did you get here?” You asked giving everyone a hug.
“We got here this morning. It was like that movie with the spies having to hide” Wanda said
“Mission Impossible?” Tony asked
“Jason Bourne?” Clint asked
“I don’t know, but it was fun sneaking in and making sure you didn’t see us.” Wanda smiled wide. “Show me the ring, I want to see it” she said taking your left hand in both of hers.
“Oh it’s beautiful, you did a good job in choosing it Barnes” she said looking at the ring on your finger.
“Well I had a lot of help with that” James said looking at Steve and Nat. “Now let’s all sit down and have that dinner that everyone helped me organise” James continued wrapping his arm around your shoulder and leading you towards the long table behind the group. Everyone followed and took their seats. The rest of the night was filled with lots of amazing food and laughter.
For the first time in a long time you were surround by friends and people that you loved. You no longer had to look over your shoulder and worry that your past was going to find you. You were free from all of that and you and James were engaged. You couldn’t wait to see what the future was going to hold.

Author’s Note: This is a bit of a longer chapter because we are nearing the end of this fic and I wanted to get as much in each of the final chapters to not drag this out longer than I already have. I don’t know how long it will take me to write the next chapter but I will try my hardest to not take months again 😂😂.
You were awoken the next morning with a knock at the door. James had his arm wrapped around you and he was in a deep sleep. You slowly removed his arm from your side and wrapped a robe around you and slowly opened the door. Ayo was standing there with another Dora Milaje you recognised from yesterday.
“Good morning” you said rubbing the sleep from your eyes quietly trying to speak as quietly as possible so not to disturb James.
“I apologise for waking you up this early Miss. y/ln but we have a long day ahead of us. Myself and General Okoye have come here to escort you to the lab. Shuri is waiting for us along with Dr. Banner” Ayo said
“Of course. Is there anything I need to bring?” You replied turning back to look into the room, James was still fast asleep.
“No need. Just bring yourself. Someone will be by a little later to retrieve Sergeant Barnes a little bit later if you would like” General Okoye replied, you had to think about that you weren’t entirely sure what Shuri had planned so you would have to ask her.
“Can I think about that while we are getting ready? I don’t know … what…” you said as you left the room and closed the door quietly behind you.
Thank you to everyone who got me to 500 likes! This is absolutely nuts! I’ve been using this account for 10 years, but it was only ever to do reblogs. But since I’ve started posting my fanfics in the last year that’s when all this amazing love started coming in. So thank you to everyone you has liked, commented and rebloged my work.
AN: I got really stuck on how I wanted this chapter and how the rest of the fic to go. I had so many ideas of what I wanted to do but realised that this fic was already quite long and what I wanted to happen would not make sense in how I set up the timeline (nothing major is going to change, I had plans to include the Infinity War and Endgame events but alas I couldn’t make it fit, so I have put those plans aside and might use those for a fic in the future). I have also started a new job so I don’t have as much time, but now that I am used to the hours and know what I want to happen I hope to have this fic done soon. I plan on having 2 or 3 more chapters.
Y/N POV
“You all ready to go?” James asked coming into the kitchen with his duffle bag slung over his shoulder. Nat and you were sitting in the kitchen having breakfast when he came around the corner.
“Yeah. Is it time already?” You asked finishing up your hot chocolate and put the mug in the dishwasher.
“Everyone else is already on the Wakandian jet. They are just waiting on us and then we are off.” James replied
“Alright then, I guess we better get going huh. Hey next time I’ll see you Nat I won’t have this chip in me anymore and I’ll finally be free. Then you, Steve, James and I can all go on that double date” You turned to Nat giving her a hug and she squeezed back.
