I'm only one call away (wrong number)

Natasha's POV:

Maxi doesn't say a word for the rest of the day. It's kind of unnerving but she's got to come to us, whether she wants to talk is up to her. Me and Bucky sit in our room whilst he packs a tact bag for the mission.

"Maybe I should just call Fury, tell him I can't go." He says, throwing a shirt onto the bed. I shake my head and climb onto my knees, my arms circling his waist.

"You can't. You have to go, you want to finish this. We'll be okay." 

"What's going on?" A small voice asks from behind us. We both turn and see Maxi standing in the door way, one of her sweatshirts hanging off of her small frame making her look tinier than usual, her big brown eyes watching me and Bucky closely. I turn my body to face her completely, my god she looks so scared.

"Bucky has to go on a business trip tomorrow. He'll be gone for a few days." She just stares at us for a few moments before shrugging.

"Oh cool. Is Captain America going as well?" ... what?

"Why-why would Captain America go on a physicists business trip?" Bucky asks, clearly as confused as me. Maxi rolls her eyes and crosses her arms.

"You think I'm that stupid? I watch the news." She points at Bucky with a smirk.

"James Buchanan Barnes, 107th, you fought beside captain America in world war 2, you escaped Hydra around 4 years ago and have been an avenger ever since. And you." She turns to me and her smirk drops.

"Natasha Romanoff, former KGB assassin, recruited by SHIELD at 15. Became one of the most undetected yet skilful Avengers."

"How do you know all this?" I ask her, slowly standing up. She goes rigid and takes a step back.

"One of my first foster mother, she worked with SHIELD. She told me stories."

"What was her name?" Bucky questions cautiously, with the fall of SHIELD, it could've been Hydra. Maxi glances down at the floor, her brown hair covering most of her face.

"Mackenzi, it's important we know okay, you won't be in trouble."

"Her name was Miss Carter. She tol' me t' call her Peggy. She useta tell me stories about her agents and the war. The she got dementia and they took me away. Nev'r got to say bye." Well, that's. something.

"Peggy Carter? How long ago was this." She shrugs.

"Maybe 10, 11 years ago. She was my second ma. I don't even know if she's still alive."

"She is." Bucky says quickly. I whip my head around to stare at him. Don't you even..

"Nat can take you to see her if you want." And he did it. But, well the look on her face was worth it.

Mackenzi's POV:
Miss Carter's alive?! And nobody told me? Well that's just great.

"C-can I? I mean I don't wanna-"

"Its no trouble kid. Nat has to go up that way anyway right Nat." Bucky says with a smile, slinging an arm over his wife's shoulders. Natasha nods.

"Yeah I can take you up there." They would do that. For me. I don't even think as I run forward, my arms wrapping tightly around her waist.

"Thank you." I mumble, my head resting on her chest. Her hands quickly land on my back. What's she going to do. Ohshitohshitohshit. Her arms wrap around my shoulders. Oh god, this is how I die. I'm too young! She's- She's hugging me back? Is-is she really hugging me? I glance up and look at her face. She's smiling. Bucky's smiling. Am I? Am I smiling? I'm smiling! I pull myself out of her arms.
