When Alma awoke a few hours later her head was pounding from the lack of sleep. She quickly fished through one of her bags to find something to remedy it. She shuffled her way out to the living room and kitchen area and rubbed her eyes that were heavy with sleep. "Bucky says you found a lead on where Quinn is." Nat said, Alma nodded her head, "Tony sent me the coordinates last night, he said their next hideout near the location you found is in Hungary."

Alma sighed, thankfully they were already close to the Romania- Hungary border and their next location was only a few hours out. "Alma and Buck can stay here while we go scout it," Steve said, Alma looked like she had been through hell and back, and Bucky couldn't risk going into a base that contained the remaining Hydra members blind.

"Steve if you need anything, radio me and I can walk you through." Alma offered while grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting on a cold wooden chair.

Steve nodded his head and looked over at Nat and Clint, "be ready to go in an hour." He said, they had a long drive ahead of them and didn't know what to expect.

Alma threw the information she had found and written down onto the table "Watch out for Hades Quinn," she said "He's got dozens of confirmed kills averaging 987 yards. You need to be careful you aren't seen." Alma was unhappy she couldn't come along, however, if they were just scouting the area there would be no reason to bring more people than they needed. After finishing her coffee, which did nothing but cause her heart rate to increase, Alma went back to bed.

When she woke up Steve, Nat and Clint were long gone; still in her pajamas she walked into the kitchen area to make food. She hadn't realized how famished she was. She smiled softly at Bucky standing at the stove in a tee shirt, and sweatpants; his usual dress when he wasn't out on a mission, "Glad to see you're awake." He said glancing over his shoulder.

Alma nodded her head and yawned, "I don't know how you do it." She said and plopped down on the table.

Bucky shrugged his shoulders and shoved a plate in front of her "Don't worry about me, eat." He'd been asleep for too many years.

Alma looked down at the plate, it wasn't anything fancy just grilled cheese. She sighed, she hadn't eaten in so long she felt sick just looking at food but powered through the first few bites "Thank you for making me food." Bucky shrugged, he didn't want to tell her he made himself two sandwiches and just gave Alma the second one. "Any news from the team?" Alma asked curiously.

"I haven't heard anything, I was going to check on them around dinner time." He said and scratched the stubble on his face. His face felt hot as he looked at Alma's thin pajama shirt, he swallowed thickly "I'm going for a run." He said while abruptly standing up, he needed to leave.

Alma finished the last few bites of her sandwich "Okay, be safe," She said and picked their plates up and tossed them into the sink to wash later.

When Bucky came back from his run two hours later he was sweaty after his run. Since the serum he found that he needed to essentially work twice as hard as a normal person in order to get any sort of work out that benefited him.

He walked through the living room and paused; Alma was furiously typing away at something on her computer "Find anything else on that other guy?" Buck asked.
