"Natasha, the ultimate goal is to keep us both alive. I'm not willing to consider anything else right now," Bucky says, meeting her eyes with his own. There's a desperate pull in his belly, a need to be with her and show her just how much he cares about her but it's difficult because she's got so many gaps in her memory. Is it fair to push this on her right now? Is it fair to seek her body when he's the one with more power than she's got right now? He doesn't know.

"I'm just saying, I can take a hit better. I'm going to put myself between you and danger every time and it's not going to change. You mean too much for me to do anything else. It's not in me to do anything other than that - but it's damned hard to kill me. I'm no regular human."

He's been shot and pulled the slugs out himself, healed up within a day or two. He knows that between the vibranium arm and his strength and stamina he has an advantage over most everyone. He's relying on that.

Bucky hadn't intended on this at all and like any time he's in a crisis, he starts triaging so he knows what to do next. The first thing to do is to get Natasha safe and calm so he runs after her and kneels beside her, heedless of the surf. She needs him right now and he's going to give her that in whatever form she'll take it.

He wraps his arms around her shoulders and presses a firm kiss to the crown of her head. "Nothing's happening. You're safe. These are just contingencies for situations that won't occur. Remember our training? Remember how we were taught to adapt to anything? This is just another example of that. We're adapting. I'm planning for us so we're not lost if we have to move or if there's a fire fight. That's all, Natasha. Nothing is going to happen to us and if it does, I promise I'll be careful. I promise I won't be reckless for the hell of it. Can you accept that from me?"

"Is that what it is, then? You make me feel like my girl's come home to me and then you haul me in? Because I don't think that's what it is," Bucky says. His voice is a little hoarse from being choked but he can still speak and he does, using Romanian purposely instead of English or Russian.

"I've seen you with me, Natasha, and you aren't acting like you're programmed. It hasn't all been an act. Your fear, your longing - you can't fake things like that. Even the best dissembler there is couldn't manage to pull that off. I couldn't."

He stares her down, blue eyes meeting green. "You still care for me, deep down, and that's the real Natasha. That's my Natasha. You're stronger than this and you can fight it. I know you're in there.

The Romanian seems to have gotten her attention, at least, so he eases back into Russian once he knows she's focused on him.

"So bring me in. Let's plan it so we have a way to get in and out but - complete your objective. Bring me in, help me kill the main players and get the code book and get out. There's too much of HYDRA to eliminate them all but if they don't have the book, they can't control me. If you bring me in, the mission's complete."

It's an absolutely idiotic plan and it sounds more Steve Rogers than Winter Soldier. Still, Bucky thinks they can get more done if they stop running from the problem and, instead, face it head on. Without the passwords, he can't be hijacked again and his liability is less. Natasha is different and hearing her say unmade brings back all the awful memories of his torture and knowing what she'd endured during her own.

"We'll fight like hell, you and me. We make a good team, Natasha, and we always have. Let's take them out head on and be free of them once and for all. You up for a trip to Siberia? I hear the weather's great this time of year."

"It is suicide, which is why we aren't going to do it, Bucky says, giving her a wry look. "But running away from me is suicide too, Natasha. It's death by a thousand cuts. I don't want to see you hurt yourself over me anymore. I can take care of myself and I can take care of you."

He kneels down in the sand beside her and just waits for a bit, letting the fresh breeze tousle his hair and smelling the sharp scent of salt from the ocean. He's never had trouble with quiet, really, and especially not now. After a bit, though, he reaches his right hand up and rubs at the back of her neck, trying to soothe her.

"I can't swear to you everything is going to be roses. It's a lie and I don't deal in pretty lies. That's what you do and you're damned good at it. I'm muscle and I'll always be muscle. What I can promise you is that I'm in this with you until the end, no matter what that is. I'm hoping it's the two of us in rocking chairs on a porch somewhere but I'll settle for not being on the run for now. Believe in me if you can't believe in us right now, all right?"

The kiss is unexpected but it's not unwelcome and even though they're kneeling in the sand, he won't pull away. Not now, not when she needs him. Bucky wraps his arm around her waist and tugs her into his lap so he can get closer still.

The waves are echoing in the background and the breeze is ruffling her hair but all he can feel and think and taste is Natasha. He reaches beneath her shirt to find her bra, metal fingers fumbling a bit with the tiny clasps. Finally, he just rips it and imagines she's got another or that he can get her one if it's necessary.

"I've got to touch you," he gasps out. "I need you."

"Make a list of clothes I need to replace," Bucky pants against her ear, dipping his head so he can draw her nipple into his mouth, palming her other breast with his right hand. Perhaps it's not the best place to take his time but Bucky does anyway, wanting to reacquaint himself with Natasha in a way he hadn't on the plane.

There's salt on her skin and the breeze is whipping around them but he doesn't care. All he cares about is making her feel good and when she slides his hand down into her jeans to get them undone, he isn't thinking about logistics. He slides his fingers against her without pushing them down, slipping between the fabric and her skin.

"I need you to come for me," he says roughly against her ear, teeth nipping along the line of her neck. "Please come for me?"

The sting of her teeth against his skin is a welcome reminder that things weren't ever tame between them even if things had been warm and friendly once. They'd run away to a house just like this not that long ago and they'd played at being nobodies, played at being just a man and woman in love. Even still, they were deadly beneath it, and Bucky's never forgotten that. It seems that Natasha hasn't either.

When she starts jerking at his jeans, Bucky twists a little to help her along. There's sand everywhere and there's salt-tanged wind that's blowing around them; it's the off-season and no one is there to see them right now but Bucky's pretty sure he wouldn't care if there was anyone. He needs to be in her, now, and he tears at the remainder of his clothes and hers so he can get skin to skin.

"I need you," he rasps. "I need to be in you. Ride me right here."

It's never enough with her. It's why he'd ended up getting reprogrammed to begin with, being with her, and when he'd broken free of Hydra and his memories had come flooding back they'd all been painted with the crimson of Natasha's hair against his skin.

He holds her hips tightly, holding her stable so he can thrust up into her in spite of her being in his lap and when he kisses her, it's no soft thing. It's furious and wild as the sea behind them - tongues and teeth and lips meeting in a riot.

It's not wise to do this out in the open, maybe, but even in a resort town like this one two people losing themselves to passion on a mostly private beach wouldn't be worth notice. Besides, Bucky just doesn't care.

Blood and tears have never been a problem for him. It's furious, their coupling, and everything about them is fire and passion and all the things that HYDRA never wanted them to have. No matter what they do, no matter how their change their memories, they always drift back.

They fit.

Her body is tight and wet around him, a perfect fit, and while he normally likes laying a woman out and wringing pleasure out of her for hours he needs to reconnect with Natasha right now in the most primal way he can. They're both monsters, in a way, carefully reared by their cruel keepers, and it's marked them.

"Tell me it'll never be anyone but me. Tell me it's only me."

When she uses his given name and not soldat or Bucky or anything else, that's when he breaks apart the most. It's so tender even if this sex is far from it and he digs his fingers into her hips tight enough to bruise even darker as he pumps into her one, two, three more times until he's coming on a long, low growl.

His heart is beating too fast and his breath is coming in shallow gasps. It had built up to this, he knows, but he's still overwhelmed at how much he's feeling right now. He feels as if his whole body is a live wire, a fuse ready to go at any moment.

"I love you, Natalia. You know that, don't you? How much I love you?"

"Never going to stop loving you," Bucky murmurs, keeping her close. They'll have to move eventually because they're a mess and need a shower to get everything sluiced off their bodies (and, frankly, probably for another round) but for right now he just wants to hold Natasha and let her know he's going to be there for her. He doesn't care how long it takes for her to get her memory back or if it never comes back entirely - they can build on what they have now.

"There's nothing anyone can do that will keep me from you. I'm going to be the one between you and everyone else who wants you," he murmurs. "There's no one and nothing that will take you away from me unless you just want to leave."

She'd be taking his heart with her, yeah, but he'd just have to learn how to live without it.
