Jasmine ended up falling asleep in her spot there, even though she didn't want to. But her body needed the rest.

Bucky covered her with a blanket, trying to make sure she was at least somewhat comfortable, before he settled in to keep watch for the night and make sure they were ready to go come morning.

Clint checked on her a few times to make sure she was comfortable, and took the time to finish getting them ready to leave. They had to get back and meet up with Nat and the others.

Victoria slept soundly, not waking up until well after sunrise the next morning. She blinked a little as she woke up.

Jasmine blinked a little as she woke up, still kind of tired and groggy but already feeling better. She stood and stretched out, taking a bit of time and thinking over the events of the past few days.

Bucky just waited for her to be ready to go, sitting in a chair. He looked relaxed, but he was too still, listening to everything, his eyes unfocused in the way that meant he was just waiting for movement.

Clint let her take her time. Already, she seemed a bit more recovered, and a bit less completely submissive. That was good.

Victoria Got up and stretched. The sleep had done wonders, and she was feeling like herself again. Stretching, she looked around for something a bit cleaner to change into than a nightshirt she'd been in for two days.

Jasmine glanced at him, not able to keep his gaze for more than a moment. "Do I have time to take a quick shower?" she asked. She still felt uncomfortably icky, although she had the feeling that was more from the kidnap than any fault of Clint's.

Bucky stretched out a bit when she got up, but he didn't move to help her, in case that scared her again. He didn't want her scared, he wanted her comfortable.

Clint nodded.

"Go for it," he said. "Bathroom's all yours."

Once Victoria found something clean enough to wear, she glanced at Bucky.

"Do you mind if I...?" she trailed off, careful not to look him in the eye.

Jasmine nodded and headed into the bathroom, managing to snag some clean clothes on the way in.

"Sure, sure," Bucky said, picking up the first of two bags. "I'll go make sure the car is ready." That way she wouldn't feel crowded and could take a bit of time.

Clint took the opportunity to make sure they had everything while Jasmine cleaned herself up.

Victoria waited until Bucky was outside before darting into the bathroom.

Jasmine emerged in clean clothes, her hair pulled back away from her face and the still-healing bond mark. She glanced at him and then around.

"I take it we're leaving, then."

Bucky made sure everything was taken care of and they were ready to go for whenever Victoria got out of the shower.

"Yeah, it's best if we get moving," Clint said, nodding. He glanced at her. "Is that alright with you? We're going to be meeting up with some of my team."

Victoria's hair was damp and braided back when she came back out, and she was finally wearing something clean. She felt a lot more relaxed, enough so that she managed to ignore the faint ache from the bite on her neck.

"So what's going on now?" she asked.

Jasmine nodded. "Where are we headed?" she asked, still not quite able to meet his gaze. "In the long run, I mean."

"Now we're heading out," Bucky said. "We're gonna meet up with the others again and get back to safer territory." He glanced at her. "Long as you feel up to it."

"Back home," Clint replied. "It's the safest place I know, and we can figure out what to do from there."

"Where are we going?" Victoria asked. "What safe territory?"

Jasmine nodded again. "Alright," she agreed. It wasn't a bad idea, after all.

"The tower," Bucky said. "Back home. Safest place I know."

"So whenever you're ready, we can hightail it out of here," Clint said. "Nat should be waiting for us at the next rendezvous point."

"The tower?" Victoria repeated, eyes a bit wide. "You mean Avengers tower?"

Jasmine only hesitated a moment before she nodded and headed for the door. No use sticking around this place anymore, she figured.

"Yes." Bucky looked at her. "I can guarantee you'll be safe there." And there was plenty of food there, good food, which he would give her lots of.

Clint let her go outside first, and then followed her, locking the safe house up behind them.

"It's a long ride," he said as he opened the car and got in. "May as well get comfortable."

Victoria nodded a bit.

"As long as you say it's safe," she said, not quite meeting his eyes yet.

Jasmine settled in to the car for the ride, shifting around to get comfortable. Then she just settled down and waited.

Bucky nodded. "It is," he assured her. "We can head out whenever you're ready."

Once she was settled, Clint started the car and began heading to the tower.

Victoria hesitated a moment, and then nodded. If her Alpha said it was safe, she would trust him.

Natasha was waiting for them at the airport, the jet ready to go to take them back to New York. She was quite curious to see what had happened with their two unexpected charges.

Jasmine didn't move again until the car stopped, and then she stretched out slowly.

Bucky nodded and walked her out to the car, letting her settle in before he started driving.

Clint knew Nat was waiting there for them at the airport.

"Hey," he said when Jasmine stirred. "We're going to fly back to New York from here. Natasha is waiting inside for us, alright?"

Victoria settled into the front seat, curling up a bit. She figured it was going to be a long ride.

"'Kay." Jasmine yawned, blinking sleepily at him. "'s there food?"

Bucky just settled into driving. It did take a while to get to the airport, but he figured the others would already be there, no harm done.

"We can get some," Clint said, nodding. He got out of the car. "Come on, let's head inside."

Victoria ended up drifting off in the car, curled up in her seat. The long ride was perfect for sleeping.

Jasmine nodded and got out, stretching briefly before she walked with him inside to go find food.

Bucky was quiet the whole trip, parking the car and then debating if he should wake her up or wait for her to wake on her own.

Clint walked in with her, glancing around for Natasha. He knew Nat wouldn't be seen until she wanted to be, but it was sort of a running game between them that he tried to find her before she decided to take pity on him.

Bucky didn't have to debate long. Victoria stirred when the engine cut off, and she blinked as she woke up.

Nat only left them floundering for a few minutes before she came and fetched them.

"The jet is ready to go once we're all here," she said, looking over them both. She did pause when she saw the new mark on Jasmine, and her gaze flicked to Clint.

"We're here," Bucky told her quietly. "We're going to meet up with the other two and then we'll be on our way."
