Jennie Wade. Oh, Jennie Wade
Darcy was going to kill Tony. He had put her in a love/hate situation. Love because she loved the story of Jennie Wade and felt for her. But hate because he paired her with Natasha. Now don't get her wrong. Darcy didn't really hate Natasha, she just didn't like her. Why? Well the first time that they met, Natasha was indicating that she was better than Darcy. She had better clothes (brand name) as Darcy chose to wear consignment clothes. Natasha came from a well to do family, Darcy was an orphan and didn't talk of any other family. So Darcy thought it best to ignore her. However, when Natasha started to date Steve, Bucky's bestfriend, Darcy couldn't stay away from her. And it only got worse when they started this team.
"Alright, ladies. Time for you to go into the legendary Jennie Wade House", Tony started to say. "Clint, you are going to go with them", he then said. Natasha, Darcy and Clint nodded before Darcy and Clint got their equipment. They then proceeded into the Jennie Wade House.
"Ready?", Natasha asked Darcy and Clint at the front door. "Mmhmm", Darcy hummed as Clint nodded. Natasha then opened herself to the spirits in the house. "I hear crying... Most definitely from an elderly woman. She's not giving me a name, but I do believe that it was her mother", Natasha said as she stood still with her hands slightly away from her body. "If that's her mother, then where is Jennie?", Clint asked. Natasha slowly turned and moved to the bedroom not far from them. "She's standing by the window", she then said. "Why is she there?", Darcy then asked. Natasha then went over to the window where she saw Jennie. She then looked out the window in a daze.
"She's hopeful. Hopeful that her fiancé will return to her. And... and...", Natasha said as she slowly placed her hands on her abdomen, "Oh god..." "What is it? What's wrong?", Clint asked her. "She was... was... pregnant", Natasha whispered. Darcy and Clint looked at each other before looking back at Natasha. "She's waiting and watching for her fiancé, the father of her child, to return", Natasha said before moving away from the window to go to the kitchen. Clint and Darcy followed behind her.
"She was busy making bread. Suddenly she felt pain and then nothing. Blackness", Natasha said as she touched the table that Jennie supposedly used. "Her mom then showed up and started to cry and scream. The closest Union unit helped move her then to the basement", Natasha said as she walked towards the basement doors. As she climbed down the stairs, Natasha saw what Jennie saw. "She had seen them move her body. She followed them and then mourned for herself and her unborn child", Natasha said. "That messed up", Clint mumbled. "Yeah, it is", Natasha said.

Darcy and Bucky was cuddling up in bed at the hotel that they were staying at. With everything that Natasha had found out about what happened with Jennie Wade, Darcy found herself in a funk.
"You thinking of what Natasha said?", Bucky asked. "Uh-huh", she said. Bucky exhaled through his nose before he kissed the crown of her head. "I just wanted to let you know, if we were even in that situation... I would've stayed with you, with our child", he said. Darcy felt tears gather in her eyes. "Thank you", she whispered as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Bucky pulled her closer to him, "Anything for you, doll."
