MASTERLIST OF THE STORY

Chapter 57: Endgame.

“Alright, it's time. Bring them back.” Steve told Bruce. It had been two minutes and a half since they killed Loki and Y/N and they were getting impatient.

Bruce nodded and signaled for Natasha to grab the defibrillator to shock Y/N as he prepared himself to shock Loki.

“Alright, on three Nat.” He said and the redhead nodded and looked at her friends limp body, frowning in concentration. “One, two, three!”

Suddenly, a gasping Y/N and Loki jumped quickly into a sitting position.

“Are you guys okay?!” Bruce asked them both, frantic, as he was trying to check both their vitals at the same time.

They both looked at each other and nodded.

“We are okay.” She told him, calming her breathing.

That's when she felt something materializing in her hand. She looked down and found the dagger of death, with some runes carved into it that weren't there before.

“You got it.” Loki told her.

“I did.” She laughed incredulously. Then she remembered how she got it and frowned unnoticed by the team, except for Loki, who noticed it and looked at her with question in his eyes. A second later, she sobered up. “Alright guys, the whole dying thing has me quite tired. Could we go to get some rest?”

“Y-yeah.” Steve answered her. “Of course.”

“Are you sure you're okay?” Natasha asked her again, unsure.

“Yeah, I'm fine. Just really tired.”

“Alright, go rest guys. We will take care of the dagger.”

They both nodded and got up from the beds to head to their room.

“Y/N,” Loki began as soon as she closed the door to their shared quarters.

“Yeah?” She wasn't looking at him and that's what made him sure that something was wrong.

“What was her condition?” He asked knowingly.

Y/N took in a sharp breath.

“Sigyn's soul.” He lifted his chin and nodded.

She went to the end of the bed and sat down, looking at the floor.

“Am I a terrible person Loki?”

“You are not, my love.”

“But I… I agreed because in a way I want her to suffer. How can you justify that?”

“Y/N,” he grabbed her hand, “she killed your family. She then proceeded to lie to you and infiltrate this new family that you found with the intention of killing you and eventually ruling over the universe with a position that is yours to have.” She chuckled breathily.

“When you put it like that…”

“Y/N…”

“It just hurts, you know? When I stop to think about it, it hurts. And I don't want to hurt her, not really, past my rage, I'm just hurt… But I… I need to hurt her to end this.”

“I know, darling. I know.” He said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his chest. “You are the last person who should go through this.”

“Yet here we are.”

“Here we are.” He agreed.

“I love you Loki. And I'm really scared.”

“I love you too.” He told her and then breathed in deeply. “And everything will be alright. I promise you.”

--------------------------

“Y/N, wake up!”

“Loki? What-” She was cut off by a loud explosion echoing a few floors down.

“She's here.” She widened her eyes.

“F.R.I.D.A.Y where is the team?”

“The garden miss.”

She got up from the bed and began running with him towards the rest of the team.

When they both reached them she saw the scene that was unfolding with a knot in her stomach. Sigyn was there with her whole army of enhanced soldiers, smiling wickedly as she looked at Y/N.

“Steve! The dagger!” She told him.

Captain America looked at her and shook his head.

“What?” She whispered.

“You mean this dagger?” Sigyn's voice answered for him. She looked at her and found the dagger in her hands. “You were really going to kill me, little sister? That is harsh.”

Y/N clenched her teeth and put herself in a defensive stance, prepared for a fight. The goddess laughed loudly.

“You really think you stand a chance without this?”

“I guess we'll have to find out.”

“Very well, whatever you wish.” She signaled for her army to prepare themselves and soon enough, the garden was a battlefield.

“We can't win this fight! We need a plan, Cap.” Clint said in his earpiece.

“I'm thinking!” He responded as he was trying to catch his breath in between throwing his shield around and knocking out a few of them, only for them to get back up again.

“This is like fighting an army of Y/Ns and Wandas, how the hell are we going to do this?” Sam asked, worried.

Meanwhile, Y/N was looking at Sigyn, flying over them and smiling maliciously, knowing that she was winning.

“The mind flayer.” Y/N whispered with wide eyes.

“What?” Clint asked.

“They all have…” She grunted.

“Y/N!” Steve shouted. “Y/N!”

“I'm… fine.” She said as she got up from the floor after getting hit as Loki helped her. “They all have a part of her power. It's like a hive mind. We need to kill the mind that has control.”

“How are we gonna do that when she has the only weapon that can kill her?”

“Make sure you're distracting her army… and let me handle her.”

“Y/N, no!”

“Please Tony, this is my fight.”

“No, it's ours.” He told her. “Go, we'll keep them occupied.”

She smiled softly.

“Darling,” she looked at him expecting resistance but was met with a soft look. “Be careful. I love you.”

“I will. I love you too.”

And just like that, she was flying over every one of them, heading towards her sister.

“I thought you were smarter than this.”

“Yeah well, you overestimated me.” Sigyn smirked. Then she prepared her hands for combat and Y/N did the same.

Blasting her magic towards the goddess, she grunted when she missed and was in return hit with Sigyns magic.

“You stand no chance against me.”

“You keep saying that.” She blasted her magic and this time she didn't miss. Sigyn almost fell to the floor. “Are you trying to convince yourself?”

“Ha!” She laughed. “I know you are trying to distract me. You are not good at this, Y/N.”

“Oh, but I am.” She told her as she disappeared into thin air and appeared behind her, kicking her back and making her fall to the floor this time.

“An illusion? That is cheap, even for you.”

“You've always been a sore loser.” Y/N shook her head and landed on her feet gracefully.

Sigyn got up and faced her, but couldn't stand for much longer as another blast of magic hit her. And another, and another.

When she managed to get up, she strutted towards Y/N with an expression so livid it made her question what person she had let into her life for these past two years.

Sigyn kicked her in the ribs and she fell on her back, wheezing. When she approached her again, Y/N kicked the back of her legs and made her fall on her back.

For a bit, they kept throwing punches and blasting magic at the other.

“Alright, time to distract her.” She said into her earpiece.

“On it.” Sam said and began shooting at her from the sky.

“These mindless mortals!” Sigyn groaned, more annoyed than anything else.

Perfect, Y/N thought.

“Sam, keep her occupied, I need to get the dagger.” She looked at Loki. “Loki, love, could I borrow your favorite dagger?”

“I- yes, darling.” He said, narrowing his eyes at her, confused.

“Thanks.” She said and then she closed her eyes and concentrated on conjuring the dagger she had given Loki a few years back, when they had not confessed their love yet.

Meanwhile, Sigyn was trying to blast Sam with her magic and he was dodging her attempts. Until he wasn't anymore.

“Sam!” Y/N yelled as her friend fell from the sky. “Someone get him!” She cried.

“Another one on the list of dead loved ones?”

Y/N clenched her teeth and looked at her. That's when she heard Wanda speak on the earpiece.

“He's okay, just hurt.” Relieve flooded her in waves and she looked at Sigyn with so much rage she could've killed her right then and there.

“You are not going to win this Sigyn.”

“Oh, but I already have.” She said, gesturing around her, at the avengers fighting and getting more tired by the second.

Y/N looked at them, they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. She closed her eyes and concentrated in summoning her magic. Then she opened them and looked at her sister.

“I swear to you, you are going to regret this.” She said strutting towards her with a set jaw.

Y/N hit her again and again, while Sigyn did the same. The ones around them couldn't tell who was winning, which worried them. Sigyn, on the other hand, was sure that she was.

“Keep hitting me all you want, you know that it won't kill me. I on the other hand-” Y/N hit her on her stomach. “I can kill you.”

“I dare you to try.”

“Oh, I will.” Sigyn pulled out the dagger and began throwing jabs at Y/N. She dodged most of them, except for a few scratches here and there.

Y/N kicked the goddess onto the floor and the dagger went flying in the air, falling a few meters away.

Rolling on the ground and grunting, they were both trying to fight off the other and grab the knife.

Suddenly, an explosion rang out behind her, where everyone else was, and she turned briefly, ignoring the screams from her teammates. Then, everything turned into a slow motion movie. Screams could be heard, but only as echoes.

“Look down, sister.” Sigyn's voice sounded distant but she did as told.

“Y/N!” Loki's voice rang out as she found the dagger dunked in her stomach. “Y/N!” He kept screaming, trying to get to her, but the soldiers wouldn't let him.

She turned around slowly and looked at him. At her love, her everything. She looked around, the broken and tired faces of her family, the reason she was alive. Her life flashed before her eyes, every moment that led her to where she was now. She then looked up and begged for a miracle to happen. Turning to him, she whispered:

��I love you, Loki. Forever.” And then she fell to the ground, limp.

“No!” He wailed, his voice shattered.

“I told you she did not stand a chance against me.” Sigyn said, standing up.

“I'm going to kill you.” Natasha said, full of rage and grief.

“Ha!” The goddess laughed. “I don't think any of you understand what just happened. Y/N was your only chance, and she's dead. So now, kneel before your new queen!”

When no one did as told, still standing and prepared for a fight, she groaned and looked up at the sky in annoyance.

“I said, kn-” She choked on her own words as blood began pouring out of her mouth. She looked down to see a red stain on her stomach, growing bigger by the second.

“I told you… I'd win.” Y/N told her between small gasps as Sigyn fell to the floor.

“How did you…” She tried to ask.

“I switched the daggers. You stabbed me with Loki's dagger and I… stabbed you with the dagger of death.” Sigyn began coughing. “I want you to know…” She looked at the goddess, her sister, the one she had spent every day with ever since she appeared on the compound claiming that she was not who she thought she was. In many ways, Sigyn changed her for the better, in other many, many ways, she did not. She looked at her sister and remembered every night spent reading together, singing silly songs, watching scary movies just to see her terrified face when a jumpscare happened. She looked at her sister and couldnt find it in herself to care. So her next words, she said them very slowly. “I want you to know… that this is for my family.” And she stabbed her again, in her heart.

“I-Im sorry.” Sigyn said slowly, in a hushed whisper, as she was dying.

“I don't forgive you.”

And after coughing a few times, her body laid limp on the grass. When it did, the soldiers began slowly falling too. Then, Y/N's vision began to blur, the adrenaline wearing out and her wound beginning to cause its effects.

Before she fell to the ground, someone caught her.

Hi! Can I request 1, 35, and ill timed with Yelena and sick reader? Love your writing!

Old Wives' Tales

This is my first Yelena fic! This is also unedited! Mostly because it's 2am!

[[Summary]] Most of the avengers would kill to get out of a press conference. Not you. You would do whatever you could to make sure you got to go. (yelena x reader)

-----

You had been looking forward to the press conference all week. Most of the others absolutely hated dealing with the media. Natasha voiced her hatred outright and had even recruited Clint and Wanda (who were clearly only supporting the assassin because they were dating) to boycott any sort of press event. Fury had shut it down, insisting that it was a part of the job and that people needed to view all of you as a unit. 

Tony loved the attention, Bruce didn’t really care about any of it as long as the big guy didn't come out, Cap was, of course, all about the people, Strange enjoyed showing off his intelligence in any way that he could and Thor always looked bored. Yelena only went because she had little choice. Natasha decided that if she had to go, so did her sister. 

You, Tony, and Cap were the three who truly loved the conferences. It was fun for you, it was some of the only times that you could snap back at the public for the way that they saw some of you, mainly when it came to the three women. For some reason, they were more okay with the men destroying cities than with the rest of you accidentally knocking down some statues in a battle. Calling them out on it and watching faces go red was quite entertaining. 

Imagine your dismay when you woke up three hours before the conference with a blocked nose and full sinuses. Your throat felt like someone had force-fed you gravel and your body was unnaturally heavy. Damnit. You were sick. You hadn’t been sick in years but could recognize the feeling anywhere. It went without saying that you were no longer looking forward to dealing with reporters. 

With a hacking cough, you heaved yourself out of bed, swaying when your feet hit the floor. All of the blood rushed from your head, leaving you dizzy and vulnerable. You fell back onto the bed and clutched your head in your hands, groaning quietly. This was going to be an incredibly long day. Suddenly the idea of sitting under harsh lights and arguing with misogynists sounded like a nightmare. 

You took a final deep, bubbling breath and stood up again before shuffling to the bathroom to get ready. Despite knowing that there would be someone to do your makeup you applied a small amount, simply enough to make yourself look less like a walking zombie and more like a semi-living human. 

It was difficult to do proper makeup with shaky hands and blurry vision, but you pulled it off with minimal screw-ups. You’d thought for a moment that you could handle doing mascara and eyeliner but after accidentally drawing a dark black streak on your cheek. Then you’d had to do the makeup again, leading you to give up on doing anything close to your normal look. 

You threw back a shot of cold medicine and chased it with two Tylenol tablets swallowed with a gulp of water. Your throat burned and you coughed into the sink, wincing at just how much worse that made it. The fever you could deal with, but the sore throat was really getting to you.  

There was this old wives tale that you only vaguely remembered, but you knew that it had something to do with salt water. After a quick Google search, you found yourself in the kitchen mixing a teaspoon of salt into a glass of warm water. The internet had recommended less salt, but your logic said that more would make you feel better faster. 

You took a sip and nearly gagged as you attempted to gargle with it, the salt burning your throat even further. You only managed to keep it in your mouth for a few seconds before needing to spit it out. Wrinkling your nose you did the same thing with the rest of the glass, managing to keep the disgusting water in your mouth for longer each time. 

When it was gone you rinsed your mouth with clean water and took a big sip, thoroughly annoyed when you found that your throat seemed to hurt even worse than it had before. So that had failed. Of course, it did, why would it have worked? Why couldn’t it just make you feel better?

You checked your phone and sighed, wondering what you were supposed to do for three hours. If you had thought it over better you may have waited to do any sort of makeup and instead set an alarm that would let you sleep for a little bit longer. But no. Now you had to figure out what to do with yourself. 

Then, it came to you. Some people swore by exercise to cure minor illnesses and you needed to train anyway. Screw the makeup. You made your way down to the gym and changed into a tank top and leggings, pulling your hair up in a tight bun before you entered the actual training area. 

You made your way over to the punching bags and began to hit one, growing tired after only a few seconds. That didn't matter, it was good for you. It would be good to sweat out the germs and you’d get in a bonus workout. 

Twenty minutes later you had moved onto the obstacle court and were drenched in sweat, struggling to avoid said obstacles. You had fallen on your ass twice and there was a fresh bruise on your cheek which would of course hurt much worse when that was the only pain that you’d have to focus on. 

“Y/n! What on Earth are you doing?” You stopped and turned around to find Yelena stalking toward you, wearing a nice dress and a scowl. You opened your mouth to respond when the blonde’s expression turned to one of worry and you felt something slam into your back. The breath was knocked out of you and you fell to the ground, curling up to protect your head. 

You stayed in that position until you felt calloused hands on your shoulders, coaxing you out of your protective ball. 

“Idiot.” The young widow grumbled, pulling you to your feet. She held you steady and glared into your eyes, her face softening as you felt yourself wanting to cry. She could tell, of course, she could. There was no bullshitting Yelena Belova, especially when you didn’t have the energy to put on a mask. 

“The germs aren’t leaving.” You complained, your voice a mere whisper. The woman raised an eyebrow and nodded, pressing her hand against your forehead. You whined and pulled away, swatting at invisible bugs as you did. 

“Okay weirdo, you sure are delirious. Come on, let's go.” She ordered, wrapping an arm around your waist. You sniffled and put your head on her shoulder, nearly letting the tears fall when she pulled you closer. 

It wasn’t often that Yelena would show affection where others might see the two of you, it simply wasn't the kind of person she was. But in private she was incredibly loving and attentive, she was an absolute sweetheart who would quite literally kill to keep you safe. Well, she may also kill for fun. The woman had a violent streak. 

“We’ve gotta go, Lena. We have-”

“Shut up.” You shut up. It just wasn’t a fight that you would win, nor a fight that you wanted to start. You’d rather just let her do what she wanted and maybe she’d cuddle with you. She’d definitely cuddle with you, it was a matter of whether or not you’d get a lecture about neglecting your health or not before the cuddles. 

Yelena half-carried you to your shared bedroom, not complaining about how much work you were making her do. It wasn’t intentional, but it seemed that forcing yourself to train had sapped every ounce of energy that you had left and you were struggling to make your body move the way it was supposed to. 

Your clear lack of strength came to a head when your knees gave out under you and you found yourself crumpled on the floor of the hallway containing everyone’s rooms, Yelena unable to keep you standing any longer. 

“Damnit, Y/n, are you alright?” The Russian woman asked, maneuvering out of the tangle of your combined limbs. That was it, that was all that you could take. You had been doing such an okay job at keeping yourself steady, making sure that your illness was on the sidelines, hyping yourself up for the press conference that you had been so excited for but now you were starting to break down. 

Tears slipped down your cheeks and you hung your head, body beginning to shake as you let yourself give up. Yelena cupped your face in her hands, her striking emerald eyes searching every part of your face for anything that could tell her how to help. 

“Hey, hey why are you crying?” She murmured, quickly rearranging the two of you so that you were leaning against her instead of the wall. You knew that your nose was running and that you looked absolutely disgusting, you were amazed that she was willing to be so close to you. She usually shied away from sick people. 

“Talk to me kotenok. Tell me what’s wrong, let me help.” Her kind words just made you want to cry harder. Rather than forcing you to answer Yelena held you tighter, pulling your head down onto her chest. She pressed her lips into your hair and whispered to you in Russian, promising you that everything would be alright. 

“I-I don’t f-f-feel good.” You finally managed, speaking into her shoulder. 

“I know Y/n, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this sick. But that’s why I’m here, I get to help. Even though you’re kind of an idiot.” You let out a waterly laugh and smiled, sniffling thickly in an attempt to get rid of some of the snot. Gross. 

“Gross.” Yelena echoed your thoughts and pulled a tissue from her pocket to wipe your nose with. Where she had gotten a tissue and why she had one you didn’t know, but you were grateful. 

“Thanks, baby.” You mumbled, giving her a weak smile. She snorted and kissed your forehead, rolling her eyes at you. 

“Alright germ bag. Ready to get up again?” The blonde helped you back up and the two of you went back to stumbling down the hall, your tears subsiding slightly.

Maybe you could convince Yelena to let you join the press conference via Zoom. Then at least you’d get to be a part of it. If not though, at least she was there to remind of you of your bad decisions all while making you feel like the most loved human in the whole world.

Running Part 2

Running Chapter 2

Bucky finally returned to the jet, where everyone was waiting.

Most of the pack are lions with the exception of himself and three others, Pietro who is a cheetah, Bruce is a grizzly bear, And Steve who is also a tiger, 

“Where the hell have you been?” Natasha asked 

“Busy.” Bucky replied 

“Really for six hours?” Tony says 

“Look I’m back chill,” Bucky says leaning against the wall of the jet.

“Hold up a minute.” Natasha gets close to him and sniffs 

“Who’s the lucky girl?” She says smirking 

Everyone perked up at those words Bucky was many things but HYDRA did a number on him, He hasn’t had a women in his arms since before the war. 

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Bucky says playing dumb 

“Oh don’t play that game we can smell her all over you.” Tony says jumping out of his seat, 

“What kind of shifter is she?” Clint asked 

“Is she pretty?” Wanda asked 

“Would you all shut up, I’m not coming back for a few days.” He says and leaves the jet only for Steve to follow him. 

“Where are you going?” Steve says 

“Don’t worry about it.” Bucky says 

“I’m coming with, because by the look on you’re face this isn’t gonna be easy.” Steve says 

Bucky smirks approving on what Steve said 

“So what kind of shifter is she?” He asks 

“I don’t know.” Bucky says 

“You don’t know?” Steve says 

This confuses him, because unlike most shifters him and Bucky’s sense of smell are very powerful and can smell for days even miles. knowing he couldn’t tell what this girl was is very surprising, 

“Let’s try to figure it out.” Steve says patting his friend on the back. 

You were going through you’re closets and dressers stuffing the essentials in a bag you smelled and unfamiliar scent in you’re room and now you are running, You don’t like waking up smelling another shifter in you’re room, You let out a frustrated growl, You sling the bag over you’re shoulder even though it was the middle of winter and bitter cold out it never bothered you, you are a snow leopard it the cold you embrace, You slam the door, you are dressed in a pair of dark jeans a pair of snow boots, a black hoodie, Instead of going into town you decide to go higher on the mountain The wind blowing for a normal person it would be hard but for you it’s easy to see. 

You got a sense of being followed so you decide to pick up the pace whoever is after you would have to keep up so you start sprinting up the mountain hoping to lose whoever is following you. You could hear the footsteps a few miles away, They were definitely following you. You could feel you’re heart hammering against you’re chest as you run, You can run though the snow with no problems, You were built this way and you loved it.

Whoever is following you was catching up to you so you ditched you’re bag you didn’t care at this point you needed to escape, whoever was hunting you, you needed run and as fast as you could, You were so busy trying to make a decision you failed to realize there was one of them flanking you, Before you could react you were tackled to the ground, you were finally looking at the man that has been hunting you. He had dark hair and icy blue eyes, He looked so familiar you couldn’t place it. but suddenly you were frozen his scent was overwhelming you, and he was stronger than you, 

“Sorry doll you’re not running away on me.” He says smiling sticking a needle in you’re arm only then do you realize what is happening you try to struggle but you can feel yourself becoming weaker and weaker. 

“You’ll be home soon doll.” He says smiling down at you 

You’re vision going black

Clint is a colony man who took to piracy to protect people from the East India Company. Scott and Nat are career pirates, but Nat's been trained as an assassin from her childhood. She prefers just sailing nowadays, but can very much fight.)

Steve's dad died fighting in the Royal Navy a hundred years prior, and his ma died of TB as always is, and he's been with just Bucky ever since- But one day, when Bucky gets drafted by the Navy and Steve can't follow, so he volunteers on a suicide mission to find the Fountain of Youth. The alchemist on board the ship, Erskine, is held practically prisoner by the crew because everyone who did manage to find the Fountain in the past always ended up deformed without the key step that only he knew.

Erskine comes to trust Steve with the secret to surviving the Fountain and eventually, when Steve is prodded into the water to test the effects- it works on him. When the other men try, it doesn't.

But from among the company, a soldier pulls a pistol on everyone and manages to kill Erskine. Steve runs after him, chases him to the ship, with the flag of- well you know what the flag looked like. The Hydra was a majestic fleet- and they looked a lot like a Royal Navy fleet. But whatever evils the Navy did, the crew of the Hydra seemed to do tenfold.

Steve finds Bucky imprisoned in the ship, and yadda yadda - Steve pulls in some Royal Navy favors and captains a crew of Howling Commodores against The Hydra fleet When Bucky falls off board into the churning tide, Steve has nothing to live for and sails the main ship into the storm by himself to put an end to this.

Years later, you guessed it, he's found in the ice- we're skipping the Avengers part- he meets Sam Wilson and Clint Barton- two men trying to make a living in the Pirate islands- as well as Captain Fury who's the senior most pirate Captain in the archipelago.

He tries to come to terms with the world and how he'd even live without Bucky-- when Captain Fury is suddenly attacked by a mysteriousss guyyy with darkkk eye makeupp and a crosbowww hmmm who is thattt??

Basically Steve finds out that the Royal Navy was full of the BS of Hydra and he honestly wants it all gone, but he's only one man- with one crew- and he tries his best. He fights the Winter Sailor, gets cornered on an exploding ship and lets himself be beaten up by the other guy till he falls into water and he gets saved and he doesn't see Bucky again for two years.

The difference is that this is when Clint saves Nat from the Red Crew to give her a chance, and brings her into the crew.

Steve eventually finds Bucky with the help of a good natured shapeshifter pirate named Scott Lang and Bucky eventually joins his crew to fight the Royal Navy.

See the thing about this Stucky is: they fuck.

They don't care what others say. The people who had a problem with it never made it in the crew. All members were however, furnished with pliable wax and a set of musical instruments to drown out any sounds from the lower decks.

Bucky doesn't have his left arm, and uses several wooden mechanical prosthetics over the course of battles. But he doesn't wear it in the mornings when he cuddles with Steve out on the quarterdeck - they let the wind blow in their hair as they share a rum flavored kiss.

-

Bruce, Wanda, pietro, Vision and Tony are involved at some points, but they come in the third season, while Loki and Thor come in the shittier fourth season, who's only highlight is going to be Steve and Bucky getting married.

Kidnapped

Bucky's not naturally a worrier. Not really, not for anyone else except a select few individuals that he dutifully kept close. And when you waltzed into his life, he found himself constantly worried about you. Everything and anything about you, he found himself completely and utterly concerned with. Eventually, he'd learned to back off a little. To trust that you were an adult and could take care of yourself. 

But today, he can't talk himself off that ledge. 

That off-putting feeling of wrongness. 

And he's getting really worried about you. You went on a mission earlier, texted him as you landed that you were going to the corner store and then you were coming right back with an hour to spare for your movie night. You were supposed to come right back.

Right back. 

And that was over two hours ago.

Now it's 6:30, and he's been anxiously waiting for you since you were supposed to meet him an hour ago for your weekly TV watching night. There's an uneasiness settling in his gut, you've never been late for you weekly tradition with him before.

It feels off, not just that you're gone. It's everything. It's that you're not texting him minute-by-minute, play-by-play. You're not calling him asking what snacks he wants even though you know that he likes those sour gummy worms you got him one time.

It's strange, and he's not one to ignore that gut feeling that's kept him alive all these years.

"Hey, has anyone seen-" Bucky starts to ask the room filled with various teammates.

"Barnes, we got a problem," Tony urgently interrupts him, nudging his head and pulling him into the conference room. "Just got an anonymous tip- thought you should see it."

"Go ahead," he says, though Tony's not really holding his attention as much as you are.

"I want you to stay calm," Tony says, clicking the link. The large screen is suddenly filled with a video of you. You, completely unconscious in some unknown location.

"When was this sent?" Bucky demands, standing up so quickly that his chair goes skidding across the floor.

"Team, I need everyone in here. Code, uh, missing teammate," Tony announces over the intercom. Though not fast enough for Bucky- within 60 seconds, most of the available team is here: Steve, Natasha, Bruce, Sam, Wanda, and Vision.

"What happened? Who's missing?" Steve asks as the last person to rush into the room.

Tony opens the link again, showing the clip of you once again. "I have an anonymous link - that's all we have so far."

"Okay, what if it was doctored?" Bruce asks. "That doesn't mean she's missing."

"Yes, it does," Bucky grits. "She went to the store two hours ago. We were supposed to meet at 5:30."

"And it's only," Bruce looks down at this watch. "6:35. She could just be late."

"It's Thursday?" Sam asks. "Golden Girls night - she wouldn't be late for that."

"That's what I said," Bucky agrees.

"We're gonna get back to the fact that you two watch Golden Girls together," Tony remarks. "But Barnes and Wilson are right. She's not responsive- her phone was turned off. I think we need to find her and find her fast."

"Okay, so where do we sta-"

That's when a new video starts loading on the screen. "What the hell?" Tony says, violently tapping buttons trying to get his technology back.

"Hello, Avengers," a masked man eerily announces. "I think I have something that belongs to you."

All the lights turn on in the room the masked man is standing in and just behind him they see you. You're being held in a large glass-like container and still completely unconscious with a large black collar around your neck.

That's when Tony gets a call from an unknown number.

"Answer it," Bucky demands.

Tony nods, picking up his phone and putting it on speakerphone. "Who is this?"

"You chose the wrong person to steal from, Avengers," the man eerily speaks like he knows they're all listening. "Now you're going to give me the artifact you stole back. Or I'll kill your pet."

"Damn it. Give her back. Give her back or so help me, God-" Bucky barks.

"You're in no position to make threats. I'll send you the coordinates. Oh, and you may want to hurry- I have a lot of fun planned for your friend."

You're engulfed in darkness, the heaviness of your limbs is finally fading. As you finally regain feeling in your limbs, you jolt to your feet. "Oh, look who is awake!" A man in front of you exclaims. "I think I'll keep this camera on- you can watch how you kill one of your own," he remarks then hangs up.

As the man moves out of frame and zooms in on you, they can see as you try to take in your surroundings. You're in a clear glass container, shackled to the bottom of it. There's a large pipe leading into the box. "What's going on?" you groggily ask.

"The Avengers have taken something of mine. In return, I've taken their little pet."

"And I'm the little pet?" you ask, pointing your finger at yourself in disbelief.

"Yes."

Your hand flies at the glass, instinctively pounding on it and trying to get a feel for the sturdiness of it.

"Ah, ah," the man tsks. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You break the glass, if your friends decide to try any heroics- I'll press this button and kill you instantly."

"Ooooohhh," you exhale shakily, though it sounds more out of amusement than fear. "James' going to be so mad...You know he's always telling me I need to be more careful. I think this is the kind of thing he's talking about."

"This is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about," Bucky shouts at the screen.

"You know she can't hear you, right?" Steve asks, putting his hand on Bucky's shoulder.

"I imagine they'll all be upset when they watch you slowly drown," the man says, sending another fresh wave of dread over Bucky.

"This containers gonna fill up with water?" you ask, pointing to the large pipe leading inside the container. "And they're watching this right now? Like you're filming this?" you question plainly, pointing at the camera.

"Correct."

You turn to look at the camera placed behind the man. You wave gleefully. "Hi, guys! Don't worry I'm okay!"

"You won't be for much longer."

And just like that ice cold water is rapidly funneling into the large glass container. You can't contain the yelp that leaves your mouth when your feet are hit with the most ice-cold water you've ever felt. It almost sends Bucky over the edge. You stick your hand out and try to channel your abilities, but it's useless. The man's head nudges to the collar on your neck, the man taunts, "You're powerless here."

"Hey, um Mr. Villain Man?" you shakily chatter. "I'm sorry I'm being rude, what's your name?"

"That's none of your concern," he hisses.

"Oh okay, I guess. It's just- the water's really cold."

"An incentive for your friends to move quickly."

"Don't worry. We'll get her back," Steve promises Bucky, who refuses to tear his eyes away from the screen.

"After she freezes to death or after she drowns?" Bucky snaps.

"Well this here- this is one of the reasons I have tracking devices on all of you. Just give me a minute and I'll find her," Tony says, already tapping away on his screen.

"Wait, what?" Steve challenged. "You have tracking devices- On all of us?"

"Of course I do. For this very reason," Tony shrugs, only half paying attention to Steve.

"How did you manage to hide tracking devices on our person?" Nat questions, slightly freaked out that Tony managed to chip her. 

"Easy. Different spots for all of you. Microscopic, you can't even tell that they're there," Tony touts.

"Well, where's her's?"

"I put it in the charm on one of her bracelets."

"Her friendship bracelets?" Sam asks.

"Yes?"

"Who the hell got a charm?" Sam demands, holding up his wrist. "And why didn't I get one?"

Everyone looks down, examining their own bracelets. Everyone except Bucky, who doesn't need to look because he knows his bracelet like the back of his hand. Just like he knows the charm hanging off of it.

"You mean this charm?" Bucky asks, lifting his arm and gently flicking it knowing it'll piss off Sam even more.

Sam's mouth drops a little and he shakes his head. "I'm not gonna lie. That hurt- that stings."

Bucky rolls his eyes and turns back to the screen. "Tony," he urges, watching the way you're already shivering, though he knows you're doing your best to put on a brave front.

"Just give me a minute," Tony hisses.

"So, we're just going to wait?" you ask, letting your eyes wander around the room.

"Yes," he man sighs in frustration.

"Soooo," you start again, kicking your foot through the cold water and making it splash around. "Do you do this a lot? Kidnap Avengers?"

"You're hardly an Avenger," the man laughs bitterly. "You could be the most powerful being on this Earth and yet you settle for being their little sidekick."

"I like working with my friends."

"Hmm...and where are you friends now? How long did it take them to realize you were gone?"

You shrug, your words coming through uneven breaths. "I don't know. But I do know, that James will scold me for this after I get out of here." You turn to the camera. "Hey, when I get back can you guys tell me if I used that word right? James likes to scold me."

Bucky looks down pinching the bridge of his nose. While the man talks to you again, "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, Steve told me that James doesn't show affection like most of us. He's actually kind of grumpy, but I think he yells at me because he cares."

"Or maybe he's not as good of a friend as you think?"

You ponder that for a moment. And Bucky's heart drops, his stomach twists with the thought that you could even doubt how much he cares about you.

"Nah," you wave your hand dismissively. "I mean sometimes he's confusing. And I don't really know how much he likes me, but I know that he does."

"So naive, thinking they'd give you the time of day if you couldn't do the things you can do."

"That's not true. They're all nice to me- they're my friends," you reply defensively.

"Are you always this irritating?"

"Hey, you asked and I answered." Then you look down, the water already reaching around your knees. Your breath is shaky and you feel the freezing water all around you - so cold that it feels like it's burning you. "And according to Tony, yes I am."

"Tony," Bucky impatiently urges again. "If you don't find her in the next minute, I'm taking that artifact and I'm giving it back."

"Can you just be patient? I'm doing the best I can."

You're waist deep in water, watching as the man picks up your wallet from the same table that the camera is resting on. He flips it open and start rifling through it's contents.

"You carry a picture of the Winter Soldier, interesting," your kidnapper says holding the picture up to the camera. It's a picture of you and Bucky. The two of you are on the couch, both fast asleep, curled up into each other. What the cute little captured moment in time didn't show was that Sam had taken the picture, woken Bucky up with the shutter of the camera, and then proceeded to get chased by Bucky for taking said picture. "And one of your little friends."

"Yeah, you know for a bunch of superheroes it's really hard to get everyone still enough to take a picture."

"I got it," Tony announces. And as quickly as the words left Tony's mouth, Bucky's up out of his chair before anyone says anything else.

"Hold on, Bucky," Steve interrupts, blocking Bucky's exit. "We still need a plan. We can't just go in there gun's blazing."

"You want me to hold on?" He says gesturing to the screen, the water now reaching up to your waist.

"You heard the man, he gets a whiff of anything funny and he'll kill her. We have to be smart about this," Steve reconciles. 

"Fine," Bucky snaps. "But we figure it out on the jet."

And it takes much too long for Bucky's liking before him and Steve are standing outside of the building you're apparently being held in. He's practically vibrating with desperate anticipation, all he needs is the cue from Tony. 

"You're going to have 30 seconds to get her out," Tony says into Bucky's ear piece. "If he has a generator set up they usually take a minute before they kick in, and if he has a fail-safe set up..." 

"I get it," Bucky curtly replies. "I'll go straight to her - Steve you get the control just in case I don't get her out in time."

"Don't worry, we'll get her out."

"You've got 30 seconds. Starting...now," Tony announces, all the power in the surrounding area suddenly out.

When Bucky runs in, he runs straight to the container. Your head is completely pointed up and you're on your tiptoes trying to keep your face above water. "Don't worry. I'm going to get you out of there."

Your eyes flicker down to see Bucky standing there, swearing he's going to get you out. Then you take one last gulp of air before you're completely submerged in the container. Bucky punches the glass, once, twice, three times and nothing.

"20 seconds, Barnes."

"Will you shut up?" Bucky snaps. He takes a deep breath and with all of his strength, he punches the glass as hard as he can. Finally seeing a large crack appear, he concentrates on the very center until water is pouring out all over the floor. He pays no attention to the water pouring out and drenching him, he grabs you and picks you up in his arms. Your lips are blue, you're shivering so hard that it seems more like shaking, and you're breathing is so uneven it frightens him to his very core. "I got you. Don't worry- I got you."

"I need a blanket," he calls, running you to the jet where Tony, Bruce, and Dr. Cho are waiting for you. "Jesus, you're freezing."

"Doll, can you keep your eyes open for me? Talk to me," he says, gently stirring you.

"I'm sorry- I got kidnapped," you chatter, barely able to breathe. Your eyes flutter shut as you take in the feeling of being in Bucky's warm arms, the knowledge that you're finally safe. At least, that's what it feels like to you. Like your just giving in to the darkness, letting it soothe you. Until Bucky shakes you awake again as he runs you up the ramp and up into the small room they've got waiting you you.

"FRIDAY, vitals," you hear Tony call.

"Blood pressure and pulse are dangerously low, body temperature is down to 85 degrees," FRIDAY announces.

"Put her down, Bucky. We've got her," Bruce says, but Bucky refuses desperately wanting to hold onto you. 

"Bucky, you've got to let them work," Steve interjects, trying to pry you from Bucky's grasp. "She'll be fine, but you need to let her go."

Bucky nods and finally lets Steve lay you on the table. "I'm staying here," Bucky grunts.

"Just stay out of the way," Tony states, already completely focused on the task at hand. Bucky reluctantly takes a seat, never once taking his eyes off of you. He cranes his neck over Bruce and Tony trying to get any indication that you're going to be okay. 

And he watches...

When they cut off your favorite yellow shirt.

When they hook you up to an IV with warmed saline.

As they cover you in heated blankets. 

"She's crashing," Bruce calls. And only then does Bucky have to look away when they pull out the small crash cart and try to resuscitate you. Involuntary tears slip out of his eyes as he clutches his hair.

This can't be it, it can't be, he chants to himself.

Clear, they call the first time. Then the second. By the time he hears it the third time, he's sure he's lost you. And for the longest second of his life, he hears complete silence as they listen to the monitor you're hooked up to. Then they hear it, the sound of your heart still beating in your chest. And he's thanking God that just one time he gets to be the lucky person. That for once he doesn't have to lose.

He's next to you the entire time. Once you're stable in the hospital, he's tucked under the blanket with you. When the doctor tells him that skin to skin contact is best for warming, he does it without hesitation, though he doesn't actually take off any of your clothes. His forehead is dripping sweat with the amount of warmth surrounding the two of you and he still refuses to move an inch. Even when Sam makes fun of him for it.

And when you wake up in the hospital, the first thing you are aware of is the heat source right next to you. Without even opening your eyes, you find yourself cuddling further into it, making Bucky's heart flutter.

"Doll?" he whispers, feeling you beginning to stir.

"James," you croak, your tired eyes slowly opening.

"I'm here."

"Without a shirt on?" you quietly chuckle, feeling his bare skin against your arm.

"Sorry, they said skin to skin contact was best," he sheepishly replies, grabbing his shirt from the nightstand. 

"I didn't say I had a problem with it," you mumble, stopping his movement. He sighs in relief against your head, putting his arm around you and pulling you even closer. "You're never going to let me go to the store alone ever again, are you?"

"Not a chance."

"Okay," you peacefully hum against his bare shoulder.

*you do not have permission to repost or translate my material to claim as yours*

--------------------------------------

It had only been a couple of days since you had visited Wanda and the plan to get her out was in motion. After explaining the plan to Pietro, he was in. No questions asked. All that was needed was to gather the evidence and since Bucky was a world renowned ex-assassin, he was the perfect popsicle for the job. As much as you wanted to do the job yourself, you had to keep Ross’ focus on you and away from The Raft. So you held up your end of the deal.

Right now, you were laying on a bed in the med bay, wires taped to your chest and temples, monitoring your heart beat and brainwaves. Two sets of vibranium handcuffs hung off the side of each rail of the bed, for your safety but you know it’s for Ross’ peace of mind. You have a feeling he's a little afraid of you. Although Bruce had already run the tests as Maria had said, Ross wanted to oversee while they were ran again and he brought in his own doctor like he said he would. Ross makes his entrance into the med bay along with a woman you don’t recognise with Tony and Bruce on their heels. Steve, Vision and Clint had left for a mission earlier while Bucky and Pietro had opted to stay behind to offer you 'support'. You know Steve would've reluctantly agreed. 

The woman following Ross is a wearing a white lab coat, horn rimmed glasses and has jet black hair but you notice a tint on green shimmering off it in the harsh lights of the med bay. 

Her porcelain features almost mimic Natasha’s but it’s her eye colour that shocks you a little. Her irises pierce yours with a cold hard stare and it begins to make you a little uncomfortable. You only know of two other green eyed women but their’s are soft and sweet. This kind of green is the opposite. Even in the light of the med bay, they do not show any brightness.  Instead they show to have an elliptical pupil, like a snake and staring at it for too long makes you a little nauseous. Grey eyes pull you from your focus and Ross steps up to you with a sick smirk on his face. 

“I held up my end of the deal. Now it’s time for you to hold up yours. This here, is Dr. Sarkissian. She specialises in neurology and specifically the retrieval of a persons memories. So she's going to run some tests on you, different than the ones that Dr. Banner ran on you.”

“That’s great. Let’s get this over with” you retort. 

You don’t care for this woman or what she specialises in. You just want this over with. Tony comes to your side and takes your hand in his and gives it a gentle squeeze.

“This isn’t going to be pretty. I saw the outline for the procedure and it’s pretty invasive Y/N” Tony warns gently. Did he suddenly forget the excruciating procedure that Strucker put you through, day in and day out? You know pain. It’s literally apart of your DNA now.

“It’s okay Stark, I’ve been through worse” you confirm. Before Tony can speak up, a skeletal figure steps forward.

“I can promise you, you haven’t” says Dr. Sarkissian. She checks on the machine monitoring your vitals and takes a syringe and a vial of blue liquid from her coat pocket. You stiffen for a moment as some the of the past that you do remember, flashes before your eyes. Strucker and Dr List and their endless quest to make your body their puppet. But the way that Dr. Sarkissian looks at you with her serpent eyes, tells you that she’s telling the truth. She fills the syringe with the liquid and with a tap to the needle, she injects the blue substance into the IV protruding from your arm. “You’ll start to feel the effects in a few minutes. It normally takes a few seconds but because of your rapid healing ability, your body will want to reject the substance.

“What exactly is this substance?” you ask. You mentally scold yourself for not asking before she injected it but being with Bruce and Tony, you felt safe.

“It’s my own personal concoction of Donepezil, Memantine, Namzaric and a few other FDA-approved drugs to treat memory loss” she explains.

“FDA approved huh? I’ll bet” you slur out. You never were subtle when you were drugged which didn't happen that often but a large amount of drugs were needed when you were seriously injured. You vaguely remember the time your spine had been snapped in three places with you head rolling around your shoulders after having nearly been ripped off by a purple alien.

You hear your own voice and realise that your jaw is feeling heavy and your eyes are starting to droop. You slowly turn your head to a figure walking towards you and even though your vision is starting to blur, Tony’s immaculate three piece suit never fails to shine through. He takes the back of your head in his hand and brings it down to the pillow.

“I got you, kid. I won’t let anything happen to you” he whispers in your ear. You want to answer that the worst has already happened to you but you feel your entire body fall into a state of entropy. Your hearing hearing however, stays the same. Your heart rate monitor begins to spike and you can hear the shuffling of feet move around the room. What was the point of the handcuffs if you're being put into a catatonic state?

“Now Y/N, I want you stay as relaxed as possible. I know it’s hard because you can’t move or speak but I need to try” Sarkissian asks. She puts her hand on top of yours and you notice that her skin is freakishly smooth and very cold. You can feel her pulse through her touch and it’s oddly calm. With not being able to shake your hand away, the heart monitor begins beep even louder until more feet start to move and Dr. Sarkissian removes her hand. You feel the warmth of another hand on your shoulder and you recognise it as Tony. His touch also allows you to feel his pulse, but its not the sound of beating, instead it comes as a whirring sound. His reactor. It brings you comfort and your body begins to relax against the bed. 

“We’re going to start now Y/N. I’m going to guide you through this entire process so I want you to drown out all the noises you can hear and focus only on my voice” You do as you’re told and focus on the sound of your heartbeat. It’s still being rather fast, too fast for a normal human. But after a few short breaths and a familiar red head’s face in your mind, it returns to its normal pace. “Very good Y/N. Now I want you to take me back to the last thing you remember” It takes you a moment to sort through the things you do remember. Sorting through your fractured mind, you find yourself back to the warehouse in Bulgaria. You suddenly feel like your brain is on fire and realise that is what Dr. Sarkissian meant about not being through worse. But you remember this pain well.

Fighting through the pain, you try to remember the mission objective to collect intel about Hydra locations around the world. You feel as if you're back in that very moment, in real time. You’re seeing your past through your own eyes. You feel your legs take you from room to room as stealthily as you could, avoiding Hydra agents that were scattered throughout the warehouse. You could hear their heart beats and the small whispers being spoken through their comms. You could also hear the voices of your team mates on your own comms. Nat, Clint, Sam and Steve outside the warehouse fending off the swarms of Hydra soldiers and Wanda, Vision and Tony monitoring the situation from the skies.

You could make out the German being spoken and that the soldiers were moving the east side of the building, still looking for you. You wait for the foot steps to become more faint before you take another step but as the moment passes and you raise your leg to move, a huge explosion erupts in your ears and you're suddenly engulfed in flames and you feel the ground beneath collapse as you fall through the flames. As much as you're aware that you're in your own memories, you can still feel the burn and tear of your flesh and the shatter of nearly every bone in your body as you reach the last floor of the warehouse. 

You can hear the monitors connected to your body start to go haywire as your body reacts to the trauma but the drugs that Dr Sarkissin administered won’t allow you to move. 

“What the hell is going on?” Tony yells to Dr. Sarkissian. 

“It seems like Y/N is experiencing the trauma from that day. Take Y/N's hand and try to calm them. It worked before” Sarkissian suggests. Tony does this and runs his thumb across the back of your hand and you recognise his calloused hands comforting you. The heart rate monitor slowly goes back to a steady rhythm and Tony sighs a breath of relief. Sarkissian directs her speech to you telling you to go back to the moment where you left off. You try your hardest. ignoring the pain in your skull and finally reach the moment where you're sprawled out on the bottom of the basement. You will yourself to ignore the pain of your injuries. You can slowly feel your bones begin to heal back into place but the warehouse is still burning around you and you can see the upper levels starting to collapse above you. You beg your mangled arm to let you reach for yours comms and call for help from anyone on the team. You hope they're looking for you. You know Natasha is. You couldn't even scream out if you tried. A thick cloud of smoke surrounds you and you could taste it in your mouth as it made its way to your lungs. After a few minutes that feel like hours, you feel your body start to fail you. You’re not sure if you can die. You've always healed from your injuries after missions because you were given time to. But your body is burning faster than it can heal. So being unable to move or even scream for assistance, you welcome death like an old friend, closing your eyes, and picturing Natasha’s smile.

Before you can fully submit your body to flames, you hear the faint beats of a heart nearby. It takes everything in you to open your eyes to find the source, hoping to be reunited with your red headed love, but not even the powerful Black Widow can walk through flames. Instead you're greeted with a figure wearing what seems to be a fireproof suit. Protest is useless, as the figure quickly inject a needle into the burnt flesh of your neck and you immediately pass out. Your senses begin to go into over drive and the clear memories you were experiencing start to become distorted as flashes of deep red, purple and orange flash past your eyes and some voices you recognise and some you don’t, echo through out your ears. 

“Come back Y/N. It’s over” Dr. Sarkissian instructs as she administers another substance into your IV and you immediately come out of your paralysis and sit up quickly, your eyes wide and gasping for breath. It takes you a moment to realise the effect the drugs actually had on you, when you can't hold your own weight up. Tony quickly takes the back of your head and lowers it back to the pillow. 

He takes your hand again to calm you and instructing you to take try and take deep breaths. You struggle to pick your head up and notice everyones on you holding their breath for you to speak up but Dr. Sarkissian does before anyone, asking if you're okay. You nod and take a few deep breaths to calm your erratic heart beat. 

“Tell us what you saw” Ross demands, stepping towards you. He clearly doesn't care for the state you're in. You recount your memories and everything you experienced but leave out the figures who drugged you. Ross and Sarkissian both look to the heart rate monitor and look for any irregular beats to see if you're lying but they find none. Ross looks back to you and you can tell he's displeased with the results. 

“How can L/N not remember anything past that point?” Ross snarls in the direction of Dr. Sarkissian. You keep quiet, letting the people with numerous PhD’s talk.

“Something is blocking their core memories. It could be repressed trauma and the unwillingness to remember or whoever erased Y/N’s memories, had extremely powerful technology to do so. Because of serum that runs through Y/N’s veins, erasing memories would be extremely difficult because the brain would be constantly trying to repair itself. It’s in a constant state of self repair. I can only imagine that whoever did erase the memories, went to extreme and perhaps tortuous lengths to do so” Dr. Sarkissian explains.

“You saw my results Ross. Y/N’s MRI results showed no sign of manipulation. They were never under any sort of hypnosis or brainwashing techniques” Bruce says from the corner of the med bay. 

“If Y/N wasn't brainwashed then how do you explain the lost memories?” Ross asks, agitation lacing his tone. 

“Maybe it wasn't Y/N’s captors that erased their memories because they couldn’t. Maybe it was someone else” Dr. Sarkissian suggest, looking right at you. You frown, not understand what she's getting at. 

“The memory loss was voluntary” Bruce concludes. You’re taken aback at his suggestion. You didn't even consider that a possibility. Why would you erase your own memories? What the hell happened to make you want to forget nearly three years worth of memories?

“Well then, we’ll have to try and dig deeper and recover everything” Ross says nonchalantly, as if the invasive procedure you just went through was a walk in the park.

“You won’t be doing that for a while” Tony says without room for argument. “Y/N has been through enough for today. F.R.I.D.A.Y, please escort our guests to the front door,” Before leaving, Ross turns his direction towards you. 

“We’re not finished here L/N. I’ll find out where you've been all this time, you can count on it.” Ross warns. You say nothing, instead turning your gaze to Dr. Sarkissian who had been looking at you the whole time with a predatory gaze. It sends a shiver down your spine. She also says nothing and follows Ross out of the med bay, leaving you alone with Tony and Bruce. 

“Are you okay?” Bruce asks quietly. You can see the concern in his eyes and it brings you a moment of comfort. You nod and accept the help from Bruce in clearing your body of the wires and helping you to sit up and sit on the edge of the bed. You can feel your limbs start to return to their natural state, your healing factor taking effect. Both Bruce and Tony look at you with curious eyes and you think you already know the next question that’s going to be asked. 

“Are you going to tell us what you really saw?” Tony asks, with a raised eyebrow. You avoid his gaze and contemplate his question. You trust him and Bruce but you don’t want to drag him or anyone else into this mess. You can’t risk anyone else getting hurt and with Ross and The President keeping their eye on you 24/7, you don’t want what happened to Wanda, to happen to them when you start poking around in places that you're not supposed to.

“I did tell you” you say, looking up to look Tony directly in the eyes. He squints at you to determine if you're lying.

“But not everything” Bruce says suspiciously. You know they know, but you won’t give in. Not until you can make sense of what you saw in your memories. 

“Yes, everything. Now if you guys don’t mind, I’m freaking exhausted and I’d like to go rest” you say, without giving anyone the chance to argue as you move from the bed and out of the med bay. You hear Tony whisper out that the conversation isn’t over.

You make your way back to Wanda’s old room. It’s where you had been sleeping since your return since you still couldn't set foot in your old one. Sleeping was an understatement though. You were constantly plagued by nightmares. Nothing distinct, just flashes of colour, voices and images that you couldn't make out. Basically everything you saw when you were trying to retrieve your memories. The one thing that you were able to make out was Natasha’s face when she walked through the door at the pub in Berlin. It’s haunted you since you returned. 

Collapsing onto the bed, you close your eyes and register the events of the last couple of hours. Someone drugged you after you fell through the floors of the warehouse. Hydra? Could Strucker be alive? No, Ultron sent a message to The Avengers with his death. Whoever it was, has the facilities to have you subdued for three years and the technology to erase your memories. What were those colours that you saw? Everything is a blur and your head begins to ache at trying to remember. Your phone dings on the nightstand next to the bed. You grab it and read a message from an unknown number:

It’s done.

You breathe out a a sigh of relief and relax at Bucky’s message, closing your eyes and unwillingly succumb to your exhaustion.

___

What felt like only moments later, you wake to your phone dinging again and check the message from another unknown number but this one isn’t from Bucky.

She'll be there within the hour. I expect that usb to be handed over immediately.

The next hour goes painfully slow as you make your way to the living room to find Pietro, who you had forwarded the message to. You can hear his heart beat beating dangerously fast so you take your hand in his to try and calm him.

"I can't believe this is actually happening" he says in Sokovian. He grips your hand tight.

"I know Piet. I wish I could've done something sooner" you reply sadly in the same language. Pietro squeezes your hand even tighter and if you were a regular person, you know it would hurt.

"Don't do that. None of this is your fault. We're going to find out what happened to you and I know that Wanda is the best chance you have to recover your lost memories" Pietro explains. You frown at this words.

"You know I didn't do what I did just because she can help me right? She's not a villian and I won't have her locked up like one. Even if she couldn't help me, I'd still do what I did a thousand times over. She's my best friend" Pietro immediately let's go of your hands and stands from the couch.

"I thought I was your best friend!" he argues with a fake pout. You roll your eyes at the never ending argument you always have with him at who was your favourite Maximoff.

"Shut up. I love you both equally" you say with a smile. Before Pietro can respond, F.R.I.D.A.Y announces the arrival of a black SUV and you tell her to allow them entry into the compound. You and Pietro move the foyer and wait for the automatic doors to open. When they do, four men with semi automatic rifles, led by Ross, enter slowly. You think the fire-power is a bit over the top, but you know the President is afraid of the information you hold. Ross steps towards you, the armed men close on his heel.

"I don't know how you did this but I will find out and when I do, you'll be arrested and charged to fullest extent of the law" hisses Ross. You don't care for his threats. If he ever did find out and came after you, you'd be long gone and out of the country with Wanda. 

"Where is she?" you ask bluntly. Ross turns back and the armed men separate to reveal a fifth man standing behind them and that's when you see her, looking the same as when she was in her cell. Exhausted, sunken eyes that point to the ground, messy hair. But you still think she's beautiful. The fifth man releases Wands wrists from the power dampening cuffs and and collar from her neck. When it's removed, you see the bruises that litter her neck and your jaw tightens. You can hear Wanda's shallows breaths and irregular heart beat and it breaks your heart. One of the agents steps up to you and opens a small briefcase. You take the usb from your back pocket and place it in there. The agent snaps it shut and moves back behind Ross who's eyes never leave yours.

"I'll be seeing you again, Y/LN" Ross seethes. You know he's talking about doing more testing, but also he just wants to be there when you're put in handcuffs.

"Get out." you demand and Ross and the men leave without another word.

Before you can step towards her, a flash of blue flies past you and Pietro immediately takes Wanda into his hold. You watch her eyes take in her surroundings and the figure of her twelve minute older brother holding her tight. Her eyes soften as she realises who holds her close and she wraps her arms around his waist. You can hear hear the whispers of Sokovian between the twins but you choose to block it out and give them a moment of privacy. Pietro releases Wanda and places a kiss to her forehead before turning back to you. Wanda's eyes lock to you instantly, almost as if she could feel you there. You release your still clenched jaw and relax your entire body as Wanda slowly walks towards you with a limp in her step. You also slowly walk towards her, your eyes never leaving hers. Her face is expressionless as she finally stands in front of you. You breathe in her scent and realise that it hasn't changed.

"Hi Red." you greet in an almost whisper. Tears start to fall down Wanda face and your heart breaks even more when you know she's realising that she's free and it's because of you. She launches herself at you, wrapping her arms around your neck as you arms wrap around her waist, bringing her feet off the ground. You can her tears soak through your shirt but you don’t care now that your best friend is in your arms. Wanda’s arms keep tightening around your neck and you start to feel it harder to breathe. “Wands, I can’t breathe” She immediately releases her hold and you realise that you were engulfed in her magic and that's why you couldn't breathe. You lower her back to the ground and her eyes never leave yours as she takes ahold of your hand and squeezes softly.

“I’m sorry.” she says in a whisper. You smile in acceptance of her apology. Pietro walks up to Wanda and places her hand on his sisters shoulder and you see Wanda almost flinch at his touch. Thankfully, Pietro misses it. You know she’s still on edge by the sound of her heartbeat beating rapidly in her chest. .

“How about we go out and get some food and celebrate both of you returning? I’ll see where the team is at and we can have a party tonight too.” Pietro suggests with a wide smile. Wanda opens her mouth to speak up but you beat her to it. 

“No.” you say firmly. The oldest twin begins to protest but you raise your hand to silence him. “It’s too early for that Piet. Let Wanda settle back into the compound and get reacquainted with everything. I’m still getting used to everything too. Give us a couple days, please?”

“Yeah of course. I'm sorry, I’m just excited to have you both back. I didn't mean to get carried away.” he says sincerely. You shoot him a small smile. You see Wanda take her occupied hand and grab her brothers. 

“I missed you too Pietro. Right now, I just want to sleep in my own bed." Wanda admits.

"No.” you say once again. Both of the twins swing their heads in your direction with frowns of confusion on their faces. “You need to be checked out by Cho first. I don’t know what Ross put you through but i’ll sleep better at night knowing you have a clean bill of health.”

Wanda shoots you a small smile and nods. She turned to Pietro and hugged him, promising to spend time with him later. You then led her by the hand through the compound, to the med bay where she was greeted warmly by Dr. Cho. She and Wanda exchange pleasantries as Dr. Cho leads Wanda to the hospital bed and starts an IV along with some wires to her forehead and chest.

“I’m just going to do some blood work and some other vitals and see if theres any lasting damage.” Dr. Cho explains. Wanda smiles in acknowledgement and you go to leave Wanda in private but she takes your hand and begs with her eyes for you to stay. Dr. Cho notices the silent exchange between you too and quickly takes a vial of Wanda’s blood and her blood pressure and leaves the room.

“Are you going to tell me what you did to get me out of the Raft?” Wanda questions in a suspicious tone.

“Yes. I’d never lie to you.” you admit.

“Is it going to make me mad?” she questions again in the same tone. 

“Yep" you answer simply. Before Wanda can protest, the door to the med bay swings open and the rest of the Avengers pile into the room. Steve, Tony, Bruce, Clint, Vision and Pietro surround Wanda while you take a few steps backwards to give them room to greet her. Bucky steps through the threshold and places a hand on your shoulder with a small smile. You return it and a nod in silent thanks for his help in getting Wanda back. You didn't have siblings, but he was the closest thing to a brother you had, besides Pietro.

As everyone was swarming Wanda with hugs and questions, you decided to step outside for moment to get your bearings. You didn't realise you were holding your breath until you leant your back against the wall and release it.

“You okay?” You feel Wanda enter your mind.

“Shouldn't I be asking you that?

“Cho gave me a mild sedative, so i’m okay for the moment. What’s going on?

“I just needed some air. Plus i just wanted everyone to have their time with you too. They missed you.

“There’s plenty of me to go around, Y/N. Are you saying you didn't miss me?

“It feels like I only saw you last week.”

“Are we going to talk about your disappearance?”

“Only if we talk about why you were in the Raft”

“We will, I promise,” Both of you stayed silent for the moment until Wanda entered your mind again. “Steve’s coming” You immediately straightened your posture and waited for the Captain to walk through the door. Steve was in front of you in a matter of seconds with his arms folded in front of him and a stoic expression.

“What did you do? Steve asks immediately.

“What do you mean? you reply, cooly.

“Don’t play stupid Y/N. I know you and that you’d do anything for Wanda. Including breaking the law to get her out.” 

“I don’t know what you're talking about Steve.” He sighed in defeat and moved his hands to his hips and hung his head. You could feel the disappointment radiating off him and as much as you didn't want him to feel like that, he was right in saying that you would do anything for Wanda.

“Whatever you've done, it better not come to bite you or anyone else in the ass Y/N. I know how much you want to recover your memories and find out what happened but I won’t allow any harm to come to the team because of it.” Steve said firmly.

“I get it, Cap.” You put your hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently, letting him know that you were being serious. “I won’t let anything happen to anyone” you promised. “Now, I'm going to hang out with my best friend.” You moved towards Wanda’s room before Steve spoke up again.

“Y/N?”

“Yeah?”

“I’m sorry with what happened with Nat.” Steve said sincerely, his lips forming a thin line. It took all the strength you had not to let the tears fall at the mention of her name. You haven't allowed yourself to think of her and with everything going on, you had little time to cry about your love life. You nodded in thanks and returned to Wanda’s room. She was trying to keep up with everyone speaking at her and not to her. It was starting to piss you off when you could see Wanda’s eyes frantically move around the room and then to the exit.

“Everyone out!” you shouted at the everyone. “There’s too much testosterone in this room and it’s making Wanda sick, so if you want to speak to her you can come back one at a time. You gave all of the men a look to say ‘try me’ when some of them made the motion to protest. You saw Wanda cover her mouth to hide a laugh out the corner of your eye, but you could still hear shaky her breath as she tried to muffle it. All of the men bid goodbye to Wanda with hugs and wishes to get well. Pietro gave his sister a kiss on her forehead and whispered something in her ear, that you decided not to listen to and then left the medway with a wink in your direction.

“What did Pietro say?” you ask, stepping up to Wanda’s bed. 

“You didn't listen?” Wanda replies, curiously.

“I never listen when it’s just you and him. I never have”

Not even back in Sokovia with Strucker?” You shake your head. “I always thought you did.”

“It was hard not to listen when Pietro would basically yell from his cell to yours thinking he was whispering.” you say, with an eye roll. Wanda giggles at yours but it turns into a deep frown a moment later. 

“He just told me to take it easy and that he'll be back later. Are you going to tell me whats going on?” Wanda asks quietly. 

“Yes. But not here. Get F.R.I.D.A..Y  to let me know when Cho releases you and I’ll come and get you. I’ll explain everything once we have some privacy.” Wanda nods at your words and you give her hand a squeeze and a kiss to her forehead and exit the med bay and back to Wanda’s room.

---

She arrives half an hour later and looking much better than she did when she arrived. There’s colour in her cheeks and the circles under her eyes look lighter. You can tell Cho worked a miracle once again. Before you can comment, Wanda holds her finger up to silence you. You immediately sit down on the bed as she walks over to sit next you.

“Talk.” she demands. 

“You have to promise not to get mad at me.” you beg. 

“Nope.”

“That’s fair.” You release a deep sigh. “I blackmailed The President.” Wanda’s eyes go wide with fear which quickly turns to anger. There’s not much you’re afraid of in this world but a pissed off redhead is one of them. She smacks you up the back of the head and if you weren't a super soldier you know you'd be bruised tomorrow.

“Tell me everything, right now.” You go into detail from the moment you woke up, being arrested by Natasha, to dealing with Ross, the leverage you had over the President, involving Bucky and Pietro, the testing with Dr. Sarkissian, her suggestion that you have erased your own memories everything that happened and everything you didn't tell Ross, Bruce, Ross and Dr. Sarkissian, to the moment you find you find yourself in right now. “Huh. Who knew that the most powerful man in the world liked wearing diapers and crawling around like a baby.” 

“Not me. I mean, I’m not here to kink shame but I’m guessing the general public wouldn't like that.” you say with a small laugh.

“Y/N, you know you can’t just be blackmailing the President. If you get caught, they'll put you somewhere worse than The Raft. Pietro and Bucky too.” Wanda says in a whisper, even though the walls are soundproof you know she’s still worried someone might hear.

“I know Wands but I couldn't let you rot in there. You don’t belong in there. You never did.” Wanda gives you a small smile and takes your hands in hers and squeezes gently.

“Thank you for saving me. Even though i couldn't save you.” Wanda says tearfully.

“Hey, hey. Don't worry about that. I’m here now aren't I?” you say gently, rubbing your thumbs over the back of her hands.

“But three years Y/N. You were gone. We really thought you were dead. I thought you were dead.” Wanda says with a deep sob.

“Tell me what happened in Berlin.” you ask, wanting to hear her side. You'd believe her over anyone anyway. 

“After you died, there was no trace of Hydra for months. I was getting pissed off because I wanted someone to answer for your death. I wanted revenge. Nat left after a couple of months when she couldn't find any answers and it felt like everyone else just followed after her and gave up. It wasn't good enough for me. So I left and took matters into my own hands. I found as many Hydra bases as I could and destroyed them.”

“What led you to Berlin?”

“Natasha had left me the names of some of her old contacts and one of them contacted me saying their was an usually large presence of Hydra around, When I arrived, a felt a huge surge of energy and tried to follow it but I was ambushed before I could reach tit.

“And thats when -“ you trail off.

“I killed all of those people” Wanda whispers out. You remind her that it was an accident but all she does it wrap her arms around you and you welcome her embrace, whispering more reassurances in her ear. She releases you and wipes the tears from her cheeks. 

“So you lied about what you saw?”

“Yeah. I obviously don’t trust Ross or his doctor. I don’t want them digging into my brain any more than it already has been. But I can’t bring Tony, Bruce or anyone else into this mess.” you explain.

“Why me then?” Wanda says with a sniffle. 

“You're my best friend. I want you with me on this and I trust you with my life.” you say with a shrug. Wanda smiles.

“Well, how can I help?”

“Yours powers. If you can reach into my mind, maybe you can see what happened to me, where I was, what I was doing. Maybe find out if I really did erase my own memories.” you suggest, hopefully. Wanda lets go of your hand and stands from the bed and paces around the room. 

“Y/N, your mind has already been fractured and repaired multiple times. If I do this and it doesn't work, your mind may not recover this time. Even with the serum in your system” Wanda warns, a slight tone of fear in her voice. You raise yourself from the bed also and walk over to Wanda and place your hands on her shoulders. 

“I trust you.” Wanda takes a moments to register your request and wants to deny you but the pleading look in your eyes only compels her to agree. She places her hands on both sides of your head and you both close your eyes. You feel a warmth slowly seep its way through your cheeks and you're suddenly brought back to the warehouse once again, except you're watching from the sidelines, not reliving the memory like you did with Dr. Sarkissian.

Wanda takes you back through everything you did with Dr. Sarkissian right up until the moment where the figure stuck a needle in your neck. The memory moves to the flashes of red, purple and orange you saw and the voices you heard. They still don’t make sense to you but you feel Wanda force her magic through the barriers of your mind until you find yourself standing on what looks like the top a mountain, an orange sun setting in the distance. It seems remote and barren and you don’t recognise it as somewhere you’ve been before. From the corner of your eye, you see movement and widen your eyes when you notice your past self just standing there, moving animatedly. You’re surrounded by a couple of shadowy figures that you look to be talking to but your memories are still foggy and you assume the shadows are examples of you not remembering. You want to move towards your past self but you can’t move your feet and before you can protest, you're brought back to reality. Your vision clears and you see Wanda wobbling on her legs and you automatically take her in your arms and bring her to the bed to lay down. 

“That was a lot” Wanda says and you can hear the exhaustion in her voice as she lays her head on the pillow. You nod in agreement, not sure what to make of that you just saw.

"I'm sorry. I probably should've waited until you were ready to ask you to do that." you say, ashamed.

"It's okay. I want to help you in whatever way I can. Did you recognise anything?” You shake your head. All you can gather from what you saw is that you were definitely up and about. You weren't handcuffed and seemed to be in okay condition and the shadows that you saw were actual people but you can’t remember their faces so they had none. Wanda hears these thoughts that you're loudly projecting and hums in acknowledgment. You turn to look at her and see her eyes are closed and her breathing has already evened out. She's asleep. You lay yourself next to her and think about all of the events from the day.

Everything you've found out, which wasn't much. You weren't sure where to go from here. All you can do in this moment is appreciate that your best friend was back and the both of you were going to find out what happened to you. As you close your eyes and surrender to your own exhaustion, you feel Wanda's arm wrap over your waist and her head coming to rest on your chest. You didn't realise how touch deprived you were until this very moment. Her warmth brings you a deep comfort and lulls you into a deep slumber.

[nelliebachesneg]

Whaddya know I’m back in the Marvel fandom. Who could have predicted this. Wow I’m so shocked. 

Anyway. 

I wanna talk about the Infinity Stones and color theory, because Loki season 2 just wrapped up and I have Thoughts.

Spoilers below if you care.

Isn’t it interesting how the Time Stone is green and Loki was decked out in all things green in the final shot? 

And isn't it interesting how the Reality Stone is Scarlet, just like a certain Witch with reality-bending powers? 

And isn’t it interesting how Captain Marvel got her powers from the Space Stone and is now the protector of all of Space? 

And isn’t it interesting how in two of these three cases, the Mind Stone was involved?

Here's the thing: if there's anything close a true God in the MCU, I’m willing to put my money on the Infinity Stones as a collective. That’s why it’s so dangerous to wield them all at once; you’re literally holding the power of God in your hand.

The Mind Stone would then be the mind of that god, the thing that organizes and causes all things to happen the way that they should. On its own it's just a stone with a bunch of manipulable radiation attached to it. It can’t really do anything on its own. None of of stones can, in fact; their true power comes from how they interacts with their wielders and the other stones. 

Amd that’s why Vision and the way he was created is such a big deal that’s really not talked about enough in the MCU fandom. When Ultron started to manipulate the Mind Stone, it got the idea of having to sacrifice things in the name of making them better - which isn’t entirely wrong, mind you. When Tony and Bruce got a hold of it, that idea was tempered with the need to protect, and to use caution and logic alongside ambition. With Jarvis in the mix, suddenly it also got the idea of needing to serve others because that was what Jarvis was built to do. And through it all is the idea that humanity is something beautiful, that it is worth protecting - that it is worth loving, dont worry we’ll get to that in a minute - because that is something all of the Avengers believed including Tony and Bruce. Then when it met someone touched by itself, who also carried those essential ideals… Well of course it/he was attracted to her in multiple senses of the word.

Which brings me to Wanda. Multiverse of Madness did her so dirty, don’t get me started, but before that her relationship (pun intended) with the Mind Stone is fascinating. Wanda had witch powers from the beginning, but then when she started being exposed to the Mind Stone, she became more in that she essentially received the same powers as the Reality Stone - and not only that, but I think the Reality Stone is a concentrated form of her power as much as she is a conduit for its powers. It’s an Orouborus. They are both physical incarnations of the very concept of Reality, in the same way that both Loki and the Time Stone are now physical incarnations of the very concept of Time. The fact that both of these characters were influenced by the mind stone yet never touched the Reality Stone or the Time Stone respectively is proof, at least to me, that the Mind Stone is the connecting factor - even if it’s not always physically present. 

Which brings me to Captain Marvel. She never touched the Mind Stone, but she did get her powers directly from the Space Stone, and now she is the protector of Space itself in the most literal sense. It honestly makes sense to me that if there was going to be a stone that worked directly with its sentient counterpart, it would be the Space Stone. Physical presence is part of what space is on a fundamental level. And if the Mind Stone can give the powers of other stones to people without those stones being present, why can’t it intentionally work through other stones despite not being physically present itself? 

So that’s four out of six stones accounted for. What about the other two, Soul and Power? 

Ok imma be real with you, the idea of “power” being a fundamental quality of the universe is vague to the point of being bullshit, because all the Infinity Stones are “power” stones because they’re all damn powerful. Therefore it is my headcanon that a more accurate name for the “power” stone is the Death Stone, or the Stone of Destruction if you don’t wanna be so dramatic. Its incarnation, if anything, would then be a grim reaper type, the literal embodiment of death - which I’m sure does exist in the Marvel comics somewhere, but I haven’t read all of them, so whoever it is I don’t know who they are. Sorry. Right now my best guess in the MCU is Kang or maybe Agatha if only because they’re both purple, and that’s not the worst connection to make as we’ve seen. 

Moving on. 

The Soul Stone, then, would be the opposite: the Stone of Creation, or the Life Stone. It and the Power Stone are mirrors of each other. You can’t destroy life without there being life to begin with, and you can’t create life without sacrificing a part of your own. But, as Red Skull says: “Soul holds a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say, it is a certain wisdom.” And: “In order to take the [Soul] stone, you must lose that which you love. An everlasting exchange. A soul, for a soul." (Side note, the idea that the stones are connected to each other is also validated by Red Skull’s presence at Vormir thanks to the Space Stone and I would argue the Mind Stone.) The mind can do a lot of things, but love is in the soul. And uh, hey, what color is the Soul Stone again? Orange? Oh, and the Mind Stone is yellow while the Reality Stone is red? And Vision had the Mind Stone while Wanda had Reality Stone powers? And what color do red and yellow make again? Orange, you say?

HM. I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD MEAN. 

It means that the Soul Stone is the stone of love as well as life and its sentient counterpart, if it can be called that, is the relationship between Wanda and Vision and this explains why the stones are so attracted to humanity and suddenly the phrase “What is grief if not love persevering” has new meaning thanks I’m gonna go cry now. 

So yeah. Infinity Stones and color theory. Fun stuff.

NO STRINGS ON ME - CH.5: ULTIMATUM

“'Cause you don't see me. And you don't need me. And you don't love me. The way I wish you would. The way I know you could”

▸ summary: things get more intense as lines are finally drawn ▸ characters: steve rogers, tony stark, clint barton, vision, & wanda maximoff ▸ word count: 5,788 ▸ warnings: angst, lots of canon dialogue ▸ series masterlist

Dinner surprisingly went peacefully. Tony and you had clearly been both annoyed by Steve enough that you made a sort of divide. Staring at which friend would sit at which side. At first a part of you felt childish resorting to that, but that didn’t stop your heart from beating fast when it looked like Natasha was going to sit by Steve. She stayed neutral by pulling up a chair to sit by Layla over at the kids table.

 Bruce had been pretty oblivious to it all and took a seat beside Steve, making Tony frown for a moment before he shrugged it off to tamper with his phone. Checking for updates on the recent Hulk search. Steve had of course decided to sit right across from you, picking up his gaze now and then to try and catch your eyes. You at least were successful in avoiding him throughout the dinner. That is until you both caught Clint and Laura share a quick sweet kiss, making you both seek out the other. 

 “We have to plan our next move.” Nick Fury, coughed. Bringing the end to the casual dinner and business back on the table. Which you were very much thankful for, considering all the topics you currently wanted to avoid. While a few of you helped clear up (Tony suddenly disappearing from the seat beside you of course), Fury helped himself to a snack, letting you guys in on Ultron updates. 

 “Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he’s building something. The amount of vibranium he made off with, ..I don’t think it’s just one thing.”

 There was always the chance he was either going to use it to create a stronger army, or worse, a stronger body. The way most of the guys were able to take out the iron legions that he stole, it’d only make sense to make himself more sturdy.

 “What about Ultron himself?” Piped in Steve, making you steal a glance at the sound of his voice. Tony, who noticed your gaze, waved you over to where he was, handing you a dart to play with rather than finishing up the dish you had been drying.

 “Oh, he’s easy to track. He’s everywhere. The guy is multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit.” 

 You had to bite down on your lip from the dirty joke, not expecting a comment like that from Nick Fury of all people. “It still doesn’t help us get an angle on any of his plans, though.” He added, looking down at his small snack.

 Tony threw a dart, insisting on starting a game with you. “Is he still going after launch codes?” You took your dart and angled it to the left a bit, hitting the circle closest to the center. Earning a glare from Tony as Fury went on.

 “Yes, he is. But he’s not making any headway.” That was both a relief and worrisome thing to hear. If he had access but did nothing right now that was good. But it was worse that he had access and decided to use something he had up his sleeve, which was probably worse than nukes.

 After Tony went again with his dart, you threw your second one, knocking his dart out of the way as you hit the dead center. “I cracked the Pentagon’s firewall in high school on a dare.” He pointed out, making you roll your eyes. 

 “You also nearly got arrested for that from what I heard. Genius plan, Tony.” He pushed you a bit for that, knocking your face against the beaded door that you stood by. Fury, not caring about your small petty fight, went on with the conversation.

 “Well, I contacted our friends at the Nexus about that.”

 Steve seemed to be drawn back in now. “Nexus?” The only time you ever heard about Nexus was during your time in the academy back in SHIELD. They promised the small group of you a chance to visit the place, get a look at what future jobs you could be transferred to eventually. But that plan went out the window just two years later..

 “It’s the world internet hub in Olso. Every byte of data flows through there. Fastest access on Earth.”

 You couldn’t help but let out a dreamy sigh at Bruce’s explanation. Without realizing that it caused a few heads to turn and look at you. Blushing a bit, you shook your head, trying to move the beads to cover your face a little bit. “Sorry, it just sounds like a dream.”

 Natasha beamed over at you, giving you an affirming nod at your statement. Tony, now seemingly just as interested in the place as you are, patted a hand on your shoulder, silently agreeing with you. “Just give me five minutes in the place.” He whispered. 

 Clint, having heard Tony’s comment to you, brought back the attention. “So, what did they say?” 

 “He’s fixated on the missiles. But the codes are constantly being changed. 

 “By whom?” THWIP. 

 A flying dart nearly pierced between you and Tony, causing the both of you to jerk your heads to the side. 

 You both turned around to catch Clint giving a proud shrug. Obviously proving that he’s the better marksman at this little game the two of you had been playing. 

 “Show off.” You scoffed, glaring at the man. Tony, mirroring your face, grabbed Clint’s darts and placed them back on the counter. Taking him off the board. 

 Eventually, the conversation turned more serious, bringing the group to gather closer around the table. Ultron was planning something big, something that you guys had to figure out how to stop or at least how to battle against. With an insufficient body, there was no telling how many versions of himself that he made. 

 Fury was right about outwitting the bastard. The only clue you could pick up was that whatever he had planned next, would be a bigger evolution than just a humanoid like body.

 Bruce, being the actual smart one as always, piped in with the most helpful sort of insight. 

 “They don’t need to be protected.” He stared down at a drawn photo on the table, making you peek over Tony’s shoulder to catch sight of a yellow butterfly. “They need to evolve.” 

The rest of you simply stared back at him, piecing together that much information. “He’s going to evolve.”

 “How?” Fury inquired, tilting his head at the doctor.

 “Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?”

  It didn’t take long for a plan to form up. The group needed to divide and conquer. Taking care of different areas in order to stop Ultron from fully being a physical being. Whether it was bolts and vibranium, the power behind the body would be too much to handle. 

 Tony was quick to insist you join him to Nexus. Promising to make it worthwhile. A part of you was ecstatic to not only visit the place, but do something you loved with Tony. The other part couldn’t help but worry over your friends. Wondering if maybe backup was needed. 

 But like everything else lately, Steve turned down that notion before you could even open your mouth. Reminding you that you were still technically on injury and should do something that you’re familiar with to help out. Which felt a little backhanded, but he wasn’t entirely wrong. 

 “I’ll take Natasha and Clint.”

 “All right. Strictly recon. Sprout and I will hit the Nexus. We’ll join you as soon as we can.” You glanced over at the two, trying not to sound a little mad that they had such bossy attitudes about what you were going to do. But considering you weren’t on their team and just temporarily helping, you didn’t have much say anyway.

“If Ultron’s really building a body…”

 “He’ll be more powerful than any of us. Maybe all of us. An android designed by a robot.”

 Frowning at the thought, you finished gathering up your things before you walked over to stand in between them, looking over at Steve warily. Noticing the familiar disgruntled look on his face. 

 “You know, I really miss the days when the weirdest thing science ever created was me.”

 You couldn’t help but scoff a bit at that, shaking your head at his snide remark. “Another thing you can’t seem to get past. You should probably work on that, Cap.” Despite feeling proud for the jab back at him, you had to pinch the side of your thigh from changing your tone when you noticed the slightly hurt look spread over Steve’s face. Even Tony raised a brow at that.

 Fury thankfully slid in time to head off, interrupting the three of you. “I’ll drop Banner off at the tower. You mind if I borrow Ms. Hill?”

 “She’s all yours. Apparently.” Tony noted. “What are you gonna do?”

 Fury, cool as ever, gave off a simple reply “I don’t know. Something dramatic, I hope.”

 Watching as he left, Tony took the distraction nudge you with his elbow, nodding over at Steve before he clapped the blonde’s shoulder. Parting with a simple goodbye as he walked over towards the stairs to ready the ride for Olso. 

 “I don’t want to leave with us fighting.” Steve sighed, leaning in to speak more directly with you. “If something happens, I don’t want either of us to have said something or leave with doing something we regret.”

 “Maybe you should have thought of that before you brushed me off five hours ago, then tell me you had a vision about a girl that you’re still not over from seventy years ago, and then boss me around like I’m your employee.”

 “Scout, it wasn’t seventy years ago for me. Time for me is different.”

 “And these past four years didn’t change your mind at all?” He reached over to try and cup your cheek, wanting to give you a kiss or something that could fix this. But any contact caused you to flinch. Making your snap your head away from his hand. 

 “Be safe.” Is all he could murmur to you, settling on pressing a gently finger to rub at your cheek before he marched out of the home. Leaving you feeling guilty, but even more upset about all this.

 “You know, he was frozen at one point, but I don’t think anyone can handle that kind of cold.” Tony quipped, taking slow steps over. When he finally came back to your side, you didn’t hesitate to pinch at the back of his elbow Earning you a high pitched yell from the older male.

 “Mind your business, genius.”

 Before he could retaliate or tell you off, the two of you sobered up as you heard the small sounds of Laura and Clint saying their goodbye. Obviously in all this drama, the two of you didn’t remember that Clint had a lot waiting for him back home. Something that made you feel bad for not thinking about when it came to pairing up for the mission.

 It isn’t till they both share a quick kiss that the two of you look away, heading towards the door when you hear Clint part Laura with some final words. “Remember, if you need me, I still have Barton comms on me.”

 The two of you can’t help but pause in place, jaws dropped as you both heard what he just said. “Oh my God.” You whispered, looking over at a very much amused Tony as he feigned clutching his pearls. “He’s totally copying us.”

 “I told you! Completely copying.” 

 What you both didn’t seem to notice was the sound of Laura’s laughter as she closed the front door to the home. Watching with a grin as the team climbed aboard the quinjet.

  The trip to Norway was not easy on you. Though the quinjet cut down the amount of time it took to get to Norway, the two of you couldn’t help but feel more exhausted the moment you landed. 

 A small group of the employees there that were star struck by Tony instantly flocked over as soon as the doors finished opening. Greeting you both so warmly as they never had quite the guest before. 

 Per usual, Tony fluttered around the peacock he thought he was. Giving peace signs to any sort of cameras that flashed up at him before he asked to go into the main control room.  The two of you were short on time, but you felt sort of bad from stopping them from getting in a few questions with your brother. Settling for pulling out your tempad from your bag to try and sneak your way into their system.

 It was all glorious of course, seeing all the machinery and inner workings of the Nexus. You’d definitely have to come back when the world wasn’t about to end. The control room itself felt incredibly immense the more you stepped in. Making you awestruck for a moment. “I feel like a power ranger right now.” 

 “Please, you could be better than that.” Tony said, rolling his eyes. “Right now you could be an avenger. Get all the right kind of attention I think you deserve.” Two of the assistants stole a quick photo op behind Tony’s back, making you cringe at the amount of spotlight someone like him could get. 

 “Yeah, no thanks.” 

 Shrugging his shoulders, Tony stepped up to the small control board, twinkling his fingers as he looked over the keyboard. He pressed a few keys, tapping the screen to life when he began to think aloud to himself. “A hacker who’s faster than Ultron. He could be anywhere, and this is the center of everything.” He gave you a slightly worried glance. “We’re just two people looking for a needle in the world's biggest haystack.”

 A curious Nexus employee stepped forward, wanting to see for herself just what Tony had in mind. “How do you find it?”

 “It’s pretty simple, you bring a magnet.” Shaking your head, you notice another photo op happening again and move in to cover your face by resting it on Tony’s shoulder. Reading the encryption he started to type in. 

 “I’m decrypting nuclear codes. And you don’t want me to.” He sang as he typed in more playfully. The showboating always made its appearance when strangers were around. “Come and get me.” 

 Leaning up, you read over the starting line before raising your hand to stop his movements. “You’re going with your Iron maiden attack?” A small hint of pink spread over Tony’s cheeks at your question. Making him lean in closer to you for privacy. 

 “Yeah, kid. What’s the big deal? It’s my go to key.”

 “I know it is. But have you given a thought to the fact that Ultron might know that too?” Inching forward, you delete the beginnings of his decryption before looking back at him. “By now we both know he’s smart enough to have set up alert systems and firewalls to any sort of virtual attack we can do.”

 “…Shit. I didn’t think of that.” He muttered, trying to go through his repertoire of keys he can use. Giggling at having a small upper hand for once, you reached deep into your pocket and pulled out a harddrive. 

 “I have been working on this for a little bit now. Wanted to have something I can use more globally when it comes to detection.” Placing it into the palm of his hand, you watched as he booted up the drive, reading over the program diligently. “I made it to try and find that ghost of ours easier. But considering how bad Ultron is ghosting us, now seems like a good time to use it.” 

 He didn’t waste time starting up the program. Watching with a grin as it loaded up perfectly. “Wow, it’s actually working perfectly.”

 “Like a magnet?”

 “A giant one.” 

 He wrapped his arm around your shoulder, pulling you in close for a side hug. “You did good, kid.” 

 “Didn’t even need to hack into the pentagon for it.” 

 “Hate to break it to you, but that’s exactly what we’re doing now.” 

 “…shit.” 

 It’s only about twenty minutes later that you two are bidding goodbye to the staff, thanking them graciously for their help before you’re back in the air on the quinjet. You’re happy that things seemed to be going according to plan. For once things were looking hopeful. 

 “Tony, Scout, come in. Are you guys done at Nexus?”

 You reached over for the comms link, replying back to Clint. “Hey Clint, just got back in the air. We got what we needed. Everything okay?” 

 “No, we need you guys to come back a little faster.” 

 “What’s wrong?” 

.

“Ultron’s got Nat.”

  The trip back to the tower felt painfully long after you received word from Clint. He was able to make it back with the cradle, but with Ultron having taken Nat, it didn’t feel like any sort of win. All you could do is worry as you anxiously bounced your leg in your seat. 

 It didn’t help that on your end with Steve the comms didn’t seem to be going through. Somewhere along the line the connection dropped. You had to bite down the guilt that came up your throat at the reminder of your last moment with him. Worried if something might have happened to him as well.

 Bruce had everything prepared and waiting as you two finally arrived. He straightened up when the two of you began to enter inside his lab. “Anything on Nat?”

 “We haven’t heard. But she’s alive, or Ultron would be rubbing our faces in it.”

 His words were only slightly comforting, making you wince at the idea of what he could be doing instead of simply just killing her. 

 “This is sealed tight.” Clint noted, hopping off the cradle as he looked it over. The four of you surround the object for a moment, staring down at the machinery.

 “We’re gonna need to access the program, break it down from within.” Bruce sniffed, tampering already with the screen in front. Tony nodded his head, pushing his hands inside his pockets before he glanced back to Clint. Who looked a lot like how you felt right now.

 “Any chance Natasha might leave you a message outside the Internet? Old-school spy stuff?”

 Ideas could almost be visibly seen as they began to stir inside Clint’s head. “There are some nets I can cast.” He tapped your shoulder, motioning for you to follow him. “Yeah, we’ll find her.” 

 Giving Tony a hopeful look of confidence, you turn on your boots and make haste at following Clint towards the stairs. Possibly to his work station which he’s dubbed his ‘nest’. 

 Instantly the two of you perched yourself onto desk chairs. You, searching up any sort of camera sightings or traffic lights of the directions that Ultron could have taken Nat. And Clint, looking up old servers, transmitter signals, and even as far as some local news channels for unusual sightings. It was the perfect mix of old school and new school. 

 You were so focused on the screen at one point that you didn’t seem to notice Clint had been watching you fondly. Making you smile bashfully. “What?” You laughed. 

 “It’s nothing. Just think it’s a shame we never got to work together at SHIELD. Training you was always a blast, but we really could have done some killer work together.”

 Smiling at your friend, you nodded in agreement. “We would have killed it.” 

 “We would have. Now let’s kill it at finding, Nat.”

 Soon after the two of you put in all your energy looking for her. When it became clear that your end was soon more of a dead end, you took to watching over Clint’s shoulder. Noticing him focusing on a single signal before a pleased smirk spread over his face. “Please tell me you’re smiling because you got something.”

 “Not just something,” he placed the headphones over your ears, writing down something on a pen and pad. The sounds of beeps in a repeating pattern were all that you heard. “I found her.” 

 “Thank God!” You sighed in relief. Before he could reply back, the sound of muffled yelling could be heard upstairs. Along with clanging and the sound of machinery shutting down. “What the hell?” 

 Clint reached under his desk for his gun and walked over towards the skyline above the lab. From your distance you could barely make out who else had gone in there. Squinting for a second, Clint’s confusion turned into a frown as he sent one shot into the glass above. 

 Pietro, the male Maximoff, had fallen through, looking up at Clint with confusion. The older male pressed one foot against his chest as he taunted the speedster. “What? You didn’t see that coming?” 

 The sounds of glass and Tony’s repulsor were all that you needed to hear before you crossed the room to the stairs, catching just in time to see Steve pick himself up from the ground and Wanda send off Bruce.

 “What the hell is going on?!” You yelled, rushing over to Steve. “Are you okay?” Checking over his face, you make sure to see that there wasn’t any red in his eyes. With Wanda around there was no telling what she’d do to the group.

 “Lover boy’s pissed, Sprout. I’d back off.” Tony yelled from behind a luggage crate. 

 “What?” The confusion grew even more intense when Thor slid in the room. Intense and tired, he shot up onto the cradle, holding his hammer in the air.

 With one collective shot, he slammed a surge of thunder into the cradle. Sparking it up to overload in power. It’s silent for a moment, that is until the machine explodes, sending Thor flying. The power of the explosion caused pieces of the lid to fly out across the room. Making Steve pull you aside to block any debris against you with his arm. 

Suddenly in a red blur, a figure kneeled out of the cradle. Shocking the group as they all stared in awe of what had just come to life. Something about them felt ominous, and powerful. Right when you were about to ask who that was, he shot straight forward at Thor.

 “I don’t want to kill Ultron. He’s unique and he’s in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So, he must be destroyed. Every form he’s built, every trace of his presence on the net. We have to act now. And not one of us can do it without the others.

Maybe I am a monster. I don’t think I’d know if I were one. I’m not what you are, another not what you intended. So, there may be no way to make you trust me. But we need to go.”

  “I cannot believe you went ahead and created another sentient robot!” You yelled, smacking Tony over the head with your hand.

 “Stop hitting me!” He hissed.

 You mimicked him, giving him a smack to his arm this time. “Stop hitting me! How about stop trying to make things?!”

 “Look, at the time it seemed like a smart idea. We needed someone to beat Ultron. He was getting stronger than us and..look, it ended up working out great. We got an ally!”

 The two of you glanced over to where the Vision stood. Unclear what you could even call them considering they were part JARVIS, part Ultron,Tony, Bruce and Thor. And apparently really powerful thanks to that stone that was attached to his forehead. The Vision seemed to sense being watched and turned over to the two of you. Stepping- correction, floating over to where you guys stood in the back of the lab.

 “Miss Stark, I’m sorry if my actions earlier frightened you.” The voice was a clear perfect version of what JARVIS sounded like. What was familiar and comforting growing up, felt a lot more distant than you would have liked. 

 “It’s okay.” You chuckled a little, not really sure how to talk to them. “Glad to have you on the team, Jarv- Oh wait. What would you like to be called?” You asked softly, not wanting to offend them in any way. 

 “Vision..I like Vision.” 

 “Okay, then I’m glad we have you on the team, Vision.”

 Tony, who was still miffed at the slapping he had just received from you, scoffed at the interaction before muttering how he had to set up a new AI. Thor approached the two of you next, giving your head the usual pat he does when he greeted you. “I must speak with Vision for a moment, Little Lady. You better prepare for battle.”

 Nodding your head, you head over towards storage lockers. Going to find one of Natasha’s tactical suits you could hopefully squeeze yourself into when a blur pushed you aside. Pietro, having taken Natasha’s red jacket gave you a wink before he stalked off. “Jerk.” You scoffed, moving to reach in the locker.

 “Scout, we need to talk.” 

 You choose to ignore the voice behind you, finding the suit you were looking for. “Sorry, Jiminy Cricket, I gotta go help save my friend.” Steve’s large hand reached over to close the locker shut, causing you to turn around and face him finally. His large build had you up against the locker, which usually would be a hot thing, if he didn’t have the ‘Captain’ look on his face.

 “He did it again, sweetheart.”

 “I’m not getting into this with you. If Vision being able to lift up Thor’s hammer isn’t good enough to show that the creation was for the greater good, then I don’t know what to tell you.” Trying to move out of the way, he placed his arm on your other side keeping you boxed in. “Steve, as much as I’d like to play around with you. I think we should stick to that three minute warning you ordered.”

 “That’s what I want to talk about next..”

 “What? You want us to leave later?”

 “No, I want us to leave in three minutes.” You opened your mouth to ask what his deal was when he cut you off. “I want you to stay here.”

 The anger instantly bubbled up inside you, making every part of your body heat up in the fury that you felt right now.  Despite all that’s going on, he still wanted to play this game where he thought you were some hopeless girl, who couldn’t even help on the recon part of a mission. But now with the situation getting worse, and your best friend needing to be saved, he wanted to go back to holding you down.

 “I can’t believe you would even suggest- No, I can’t believe you would even think I would stay here with all that is going on, Steven. The people of Sokovia are in danger because of Tony..because of us. I owe it to them to try and help save them.” 

 A red blush swept over his cheeks when you called his full name. There hasn’t been a point in your relationship together that you two had this much tension and anger, but it’s all the two of you seemed to be good at these days. In the back you noticed Pietro horribly trying to act like he wasn’t listening in, but you didn’t care if you had an audience.

 “It’s not something I want. But this isn’t just us battling HYDRA. These are actual killing machines and you’re…” he couldn’t seem to find the word he wanted to use. “They won’t hesitate to kill you and with your injury, there’s no telling how well you can do out there.”

 “Cut the crap, Cap. You don’t think I’m good enough to fight alongside you.”

 Shoving him back, you make your way over to the locker in the back that had your usual belongings and grab your boots. “I can assure you that my leg is feeling better than ever and I’m going whether you like it or not.” Steve settled with sitting down on the bench rather than boxing you in this time. His brow knitted together as he looked over your leg. 

 “Scout,” When you didn’t stop reaching for your items, he reached out to stop you. “Please stop.” His tone was hard, but laced with a sadness that you couldn’t quite figure out why. “I need you here. If you’re out there with us, then I’ll worry about your safety, I’ll be unfocused. I need you to have my back on this.”

 “You have a lot of nerve saying that you know. Implying that this isn’t like HYDRA when you’re literally trusting them more than me to guard your back?” You feel another pair of eyes on you and you really try hard to ignore the twins still lingering around. “Think about what they’ve decided to work for, what they joined. They belonged to the same organization that has hurt so many people. People like your best friend.” 

The brunette’s face came into your mind, reminding you how they treated Bucky down in that bank. Shaking your head, you glanced to meet Steve’s eyes. “You expect me to sit back here and let them be the ones helping you and my own brother? You really think I’d trust them like that?”

 “They weren’t around for all of that. They want to change, they’re the ones who wanted to stop Ultron first when they discovered what he wanted to do with the cradle.”

 “That doesn’t mean they weren’t for the destruction of the avengers!”

 “No, they did not want that exactly..”

 “Right, just Tony. In case you forgot, I happen to care about that guy.”

 You release your arm from his hold and make your way to go and change when another hand is wrapped around your arm. Frowning, you turned to face Steve again only to be shocked to see Pietro frowning at you. “Oh.” You gasped, unsure why he stopped you. 

 “We had our reasons..But we see now that we have a bigger enemy. Ultron has to be stopped. Let us be civil.” He reasoned, seeming to understand a little about your feelings on this. 

 “Let her go, Pietro. She’s going to do whatever she wants anyway, right?”

 Wanda popped out from behind him, moving to circle around you almost. Not wanting to be trapped in one of her vicious visions again, you stepped away from them. Needing the breathing space. “Right, I do what I want.” You said, giving a tight lipped smile. Getting out of the locker room, you barely made it out to go to the private office before Steve caught up with you.

 “Scout, I’ll get on my knees and beg if you’ll stay.”

 “Steve,” you sighed, reaching out to grab onto his forearms. “Please don’t ask this of me. Understand why I need to do this, why I can’t just stay.” He leaned in to press his forehead against yours, making you close your eyes as you tried to get through to him. “If you make me stay..you’ll lose me, Steve.”

 “Please don’t say that. It’s unfair.”

 “Making me stay behind when all my friends and family could get hurt or worse is unfair.”

 “But I could lose you either way...”

 Pulling back, you stared up into his eyes. “You don’t have to. You only need to trust in the fact that I can do this. That we can work together as a team. Like last time, honey.” He closed his eyes at the pet name, seeming to enjoy the softness in the tone you used with him. “Steve, I love-“

 “Who is Bucky?”

 The two of you stilled in place, almost turning frozen at the name before you glanced to the side. Wanda, who followed you both had a curious look on her face. “What did you say?” Steve asked slowly, looking at you briefly. 

 “She mentioned your best friend and when I couldn’t figure out what that meant, a sudden thought popped into her mind..The man with a metal arm, is that him?” You couldn’t help but gulp at her words, not sure when you even thought about him hard enough that she would sense it. 

 “Stay out of my head, bitch.”

 Her green eyes flickered with a fury before she waved her hand. “Your thoughts were loud enough for me to get the idea. As soon as she mentioned him it was all that ran through her mind.”

 “What are you talking about?” Steve huffed, getting worked up again. “Scout?”

 “I don’t know what it is that she means, honestly. I thought about him because he’s your friend, they’re HYDRA. I guess the run in with him came up in my head?”

 “That’s not what I mean-“

 Something on your face must have given Wanda a change of mind, whether it was because of your fear, your hurt, or maybe she just decided she wasn’t amused by making the fight worse. “I just wanted to know who he was because we don’t want to hurt anyone anymore. Not even your brother.” She ended, clapping her hands together. “In case you needed to be assured of his safety. And I’m also here to inform you both that the wheels are up in a minute.” Nodding her head, she quickly took her exit.

 “You were thinking about Bucky..”

 “Well, one of us has to. Since you suddenly changed your opinions on people that work at HYRDA. Maybe we should find Brock Rumlow and see if he’s up for joining the battle?” He sighed again before he nodded to himself, seeming to come up with a perfect reply.

 “I’ll play by your games then, Scout. Stay or else it’s over.”

 “You can’t be serious.”

 He shook his head, heading in the direction that Wanda did. “I am. I’d rather you stay here and hate me, than love me and possibly get hurt. You’re not enhanced, you’re not an iron man, you’re a girl who’s got a big heart and a bad leg.” 

 The tears you did not realize you were holding back on were now spilling freely onto your cheeks. Hating the idea of this being the fight that would put such a heavy ultimatum in your relationship. “Steve, don’t do this..”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t risk losing you too.” Without another word, he strode off the hall, leaving you without the chance of picking whether to stay and fight for love, or go and fight for life. The choice was made for you the moment you heard the sounds of the quinjet leaving.

A/N: I can’t believe we’re almost done with this movie! Steve is..LOOK, I love steve but he’s gonna be a little bit of a jerk in this movie. I hope y’all forgive me V_V

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY

Chapter 54: The plan.

Loki and Y/N looked at each other and nodded. Then they entered the cell.

“Hi Sarah.” Y/N said.

“Y/N,” Sarah seemed surprised to see her. “What… What are you doing here?”

“You were right. About Sigyn.”

“How did you-”

“It doesn't matter.” She cut her off. “What matters is what you know.”

“I don't know that much…” Sarah said, clearly lying.

“Sarah… Ingrid. I know you are scared, not only for you but for your son. I promise you, we will protect the both of you. But you need to help us, otherwise we won't be able to.”

The woman seemed to ponder about it for a few moments before she sighed and opened her mouth to speak.

“Before I say anything, where is Jeremiah?”

“He's with us, we are all taking care of him. He is alright, just misses his mother.” Sarah seemed to be saddened at that. “Maybe we can bring him here tomorrow, for a little visit.”

“Thank you.” Y/N's expression softened.

“No problem.”

Sarah sighed.

“The person who first contacted my parents about the organization was her. Everything was her. The thing is… she needed a face. And she offered my parents enough money to make it worth it. That happened when I was about four or five.” Loki and Y/N listened attentively. “Ever since I can remember she has been saying that one day she was going to do it.” She looked at Y/N. “One day she was going to get rid of her ungrateful sister, her undeserving sister. Of course I only found out that the sister was you when you came into this universe.”

“So, you've known the whole time who I was?” Y/N asked her.

“Yes.” She looked guilty. “It was all part of the plan. Befriend you, then betray you. Make her look like the hero when she attempted to sacrifice herself to fight us.”

“So, she never got hurt?”

“It was all an illusion.”

Y/N felt her heart sink. She had done it on purpose, she made her worry on purpose. She had listened to everything she said and didn't even care. She was a two-faced liar.

“Darling?”

“I'm fine.” She shook her head. “I just can't… believe it. I mean, I do believe it but I just can't believe it.”

He grabbed her hand and squeezed, and she smiled softly at him. Then he got closer to her ear.

“It is not your fault.” He said in a low voice, so only she would hear. Y/N pursed her lips and nodded.

“So how…is she planning to get rid of her sister?” She asked, biting her lip nervously after.

“All the enhanced individuals, she's planning to use them for war.”

“But we already rescued them and the workers all left or died.”

“No Y/N, the workers are the enhanced individuals, they are the ones with a part of her powers, the people you rescued were just people caught in the crossfire. And they didn't leave, they just pretended they did.”

“So she has an army of enhanced individuals who have the power of Sigyn of Asgard. Great, just fantastic.” She said sarcastically.

“You need to kill her.”

“What?!” She widened her eyes. “No, I just… we will just imprison her.”

“She will never stop, you need to kill her.” Sarah told her. “You need to use the dagger of death. You have to kill a god.”

————————————

“So, that’s what Sarah said. Ingrid, sorry.” She shook her head.

“What is a dagger of death?” Steve asked.

“It is an old Asgardian relic,” Thor told him and the rest of the avengers that were in the meeting room, “but it burned in Ragnarok.”

“Can’t we just get another one?” Y/N asked.

“It was forged in Nidavellir and enchanted by our sister, the goddess of death, Hela.” Loki answered her.

“And Hela is…” Steve began saying, waiting for one of the Asgardian brothers to finish.

“Dead… in Hel.” Loki told him.

Everyone sat there in silence, until Y/N broke it.

“Guys, this might sound very stupid but… has any of you watched Lucifer the tv show?”

Everyone stayed silent and she took that as a no.

“What does that have to do with anything?” Natasha asked.

“I might have a plan.”

Yep, definitely Loki's kid. by cosmicDILF Finnley doesn't think that their life could get any worse. She believes that she is unwanted and unvalued, forgotten by the people that were supposed to love and care for her her entire life. She was told that their parents dropped her off on the steps of a shabby run-down orphanage and never looked back. However, soon Finnley will learn that this is actually far from the truth. Their life finally seems to be starting to take a turn for the better when they get a personal internship with none other than Tony Stark himself along with the resident nerd, Peter Parker. Even though Finnley is still fighting many of their personal demons, she starts to open up to those around her, but of course not too much. Finnley likes to think that they finally have a little control over their life, at least that is until some very strange happenings occur when an odd war criminal that claims to be a god shows up and suddenly everything Finnley thought they knew is thrown out the window. She believes that there is much more to the raven-haired greasy god than he lets on, and she is right. However, there is also a lot more that neither of them knows about the other that they will soon have to discover together.

The Multiverse Saga: Phase Four Cosmic and Legacy Origins. How do you feel about Marvel's Phase 4 now that we're close to the end and the pieces are starting to lay themselves out before us? (SPOILERS for all Phase 4 Marvel movies and series.)

Phase 4, the way I see it, has set up two different storylines. One on Earth and one Beyond. The opening act of an epic story of intergalactic scale set on the cosmic stage is complete, left on Ms. Marvels cliffhanger. And by the end of the year all 6 of our original Avengers legacies will be passed on to new heroes: Sam Wilson, Captain America. Yelena Belova, White Widow. Kate Bishop, Hawkeye. Jane Fostor, Mighty Thor. Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk. and Riri Williams, Iron Heart.

Cosmic Origins

"There's an entire chapter dedicated to you in the Darkhold. That's the Book of the Damned. The Scarlet Witch is not born, she is forged. She has no coven. No need for incantations... Her power exceeds that of the Sorcerer Supreme. It's your destiny to destroy the world." - Agatha Harkness, reading the Darkhold Prophecy."

Finally Wanda's origin story. We see in the final episodes the horrible traumas that forged her into the mythical being known as The Scarlet Witch. The death of her parents and terror of being stranded in a war torn country. Being manipulated by a force of evil into being experimented on in a trial no one else had survived. How the Mind Stone itself, the self-contained thoughts of the cosmos, saw the potential that she had repressed within herself, and bringing it back to the surface. And the losses of her brother, Pietro. Her found family, the Avengers. Her lover, Vision. Herself, in the blip. Finally her children, in the Westview Hex. Then returning to a world with no one left to care for her and no one who cared for what she sacrificed for them. All alone with nothing but the Darkhold to soothe her.

"We freed the timeline. We found him beyond the storm. A Citadel at the end of time. He's terrifying. He planned everything. He's seen everything. He knows everything... Someone is coming. Countless different versions of a very dangerous person and they're all set on war. We need to prepare." - Loki, in the new TVA.

Sylvie made a decision that can never be undone, for good or better, the multiverse is open, and it's mad. Loki sets out the rules of multidimensional travel that the Avengers played fast and loose with. The series introduces us to the sacred timeline. Which as I understand it, is a grouping of parallel universes nearly identical to the MCU-verse. There are countless universes that the TVA allow to exist, ones in which Nathaniel Richards does not exist, and ones that don't cause Nexus Events. This so called "Sacred Timeline" is what the Ancient One in Doctor Strange spoke of, a multiverse sure, but one bound by the will of He Who Remains. We also later find out that what the Time Variance Authority calls a "Nexus Event" is also known as an "Incursion". Any universe that doesn't fit these qualifications gets pruned. This is how the Avengers are able to time travel, not by travelling through time in their own universe, but to that point in time in a parallel universe. This is why the Ancient One explains in Endgame that her timeline would be doomed without the time stone. That can't possibly be the same universe as the MCU, if it was her reality being doomed would mean the MCU-reality being doomed.

"I don't understand. This shouldn't be possible." - The Watcher

"Oh, but anything is possible in a multiverse." - Ultron Supreme

The Watcher is right, something like this wasn't possible. Until now.

"They don't match any artifacts from our codex... They're not vibranium... Not like any alien tech I've seen. How long did your Dad have them before he gave them to you?... About a thousand years... The thermoluminescence indicates they're older than that. By a lot... The first time you used the rings we felt it, in Kamar-Taj... What is it?... A beacon. They're sending a message... A message to where?... *beep beep beep* I'm so sorry I have to deal with this..." Wong, Bruce, Carol, Shang-chi and Katie, discussing the Ten Ring Bands

An ancient alien technology hidden on Earth for untold thousands of years, suddenly releasing a beacon and sending a message. To where they originated from perhaps? Then a few days later when this meeting is being held Carol is interrupted. Something very urgent has come up and she needs to leave immediately. Heading into space on a mission, could it be related to the ten rings beacon? Shang-chi better prepare himself for whatever is coming.

"The end of one life is the beginning of another. Our universe is a constant exchange of energy. An infinite cycle of creation and destruction. Celestials use energy gathered from host planets to create suns, generating gravity, heat, and light for new galaxies to form. Without us, our universe will fall into darkness. All life will die... I created the Deviants for the same purpose I created you. Every Celestial host planet has its own predators. I first sent the Deviants to exterminate them so intelligent life could grow. But there was a flaw in their design. They evolved. Became predators themselves. And I lost control of them. I built and programmed you, Eternals, to be synthetic beings and incapable of evolution, to correct my mistake. Sersi, Ajak has chosen you to take her place as the Prime Eternal. Do not fail me." - Arishem the Judge, explaining the World Forge to Sersi

In Eternals, Arishem takes Sersi on a cosmic cruise to give her, as the new Prime Eternal, a lesson in how the ecosystem of the universe is structured and how it works. This was a nice lore dump that is going to become much more important in the future films when more Cosmic Entities that live on a Galactic scale begin to make their presence. What lies beyond Earth and the 9 Realms for our Eternals?

"They're starting to come through and I can't stop them... We're too late for that. They're here. They're here because of you."

"What if everyone forgot who I was?... They're coming here because of me right? Because I'm Peter Parker? So cast a new spell. But this time make everyone forget who Peter Parker is. Make everyone forget... me... It would work right?"

"Yeah it would work. But you gotta understand, that would mean that everyone who knows and loves you, we... We'd have no memory of you. It would be as though you never existed."

"I know. Do it." - Doctor Strange and Peter Parker, as the weight of an incursion hangs over them.

Can I just stop for a moment to say what a performance by Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland on these lines, what a delivery.

Strange blames Peter, but truthfully we know the blame lies with Sylvie. As the Watcher put it "This shouldn't be possible". But now that He Who Remains is dead and the TVA is being run by a different variant of Nathaniel Richards their goal is no longer to eradicate contrivances in the sacred timeline nor to stop Nexus Events. For if they were they would be there to stop this from happening. This makes the incursion Sylvie and Loki were about to cause a walk in the park. An incursion of a nigh infinite number of universes, right on the MCU-verse's doorstep. Hanging right over top the Statue of Liberty. Will anyone ever truly know what happened, or what Peter sacrificed for them? A truly epic climax that is only bolstered in hindsight by the info we learn next.

"Eon's ago the first demon, Chthon, carved his dark magic into this tomb. These same spells were later transcribed, into the Darkhold. There's no telling what soulless monstrosities lie within."

"They've been waiting for me. This isn't a tomb. It's a throne... Billy and Tommy. What if they get sick? In the infinite multiverse, there's a cure for every illness. A solution to every problem. I won't lose them again."

"Try as you might Wanda, you cannot control everything."

"But I can. Look around you. It's carved in stone. I was meant to rule everything." Wong and Wanda, investigating the Darkhold Castle on Mount Wundagore.

The multiverse, at last one of our heroes goes on a desperate journey through the multiverse itself to save a universal hopping teenager on the run from the Scarlet Witch. It is here we learn the truth from none other than Professor Xavier and Reed Richards themselves, well multiversalthemselves, that what the TVA call nexus events, they call incursions. Now this universe isn't parallel to ours so how could it have existed all this time? Well that's the funny thing about space time, everything is happening everywhere all at once (that other movie really nailed the title). This means that while that universe has existed for millennia in it's own timeline, that timeline was only allowed to grow past safe boundaries because the TVA no longer exists to prune unsafe universes. Richards himself confirms this when he states that our Stranges presence is harming the stability of their reality and risking an incursion, which the TVA would have stepped in to resolve. In the end Strange comes face to face with one of the greatest threats in the universe: Himself. A mirrored reflection starring back at him showing him what could have been as he examines the remnants of a New York ravaged by incursion. An image of what Strange saw come so close to happening to his own reality and so many more just months ago.

"In exchange for your life, do you swear to protect the travelers of the night, and bring my vengeance to those that would do them harm?" - Khonshu to Marc Spector, as he lie bleeding out alone in the deserts of Egypt.

The Moon. One of the most important celestial bodies in our galaxy. And it's God, Khonshu. Moon Knight opens us up to a whole world of supernatural entities lurking among those on Earth. Inspired by and representing different aspects of nature and the cosmos the Egyptian God's have long since abandoned Earth. All but Khonshu and Ammit, two sides of an ideological coin battling for the souls of humanity. The other Gods ignored them, choosing to live instead in the mystical realm of Overvoid. Which Khonshu only describes as opulent and disagreeing to his tastes. What lies in Heliopolis and what significance will it play in this interdimensional story?

"I wish that you would just focus on you. Your story. I mean, who do you want to be in this world? Do you want to be good, like we raised you. Or do you want to be some, you know, this cosmic head in the clouds person. You think about that... Cosmic." - Muneeba and Kamala, after Kamala's powers are activated by the mysterious Bangle at Avengercon

Ms. Marvel takes us on a flashback to 1942 where we meet Kamala's great grandmother Aisha and her Jinn companions as they raid what's left of an ancient structure that was once occupied and inhabited by the Ten Rings under Wenwu, for the artifact they're looking for. A mysterious Bangle found on the arm of a humanoid with blue skin. What link does Kamala's Bangle have to Shang-chi's Bangles? The only person who could tell us more is Carol Danvers, last seen investigating a mystery threat after the ten rings let off a beacon and only returning once she found the matching Bangle that pairs with Kamala's, causing them to switch places leaving Carol stuck back on Earth while Kamala is lost. This leaves us on an epic cliffhanger for what's coming next in the multiverse saga phase 5. But this is only one side of the story.

Back on Earth the Avengers legacy lives on. Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Thor, Bruce Banner and Tony Stark have all either passed away, or moved on from their station as an Avenger. The next six projects take great lengths to give their new legacy characters an awesome, and respectable introduction to those who have taken up the mantle of Earth's Mightiest. But with such a great legacy comes downfalls, those who couldn't live up to it and failed, those who were wronged by the righteous actions of the Avengers. Lurking in the shadow of that legacy lies Val, slowly, methodically building a team of those wronged by the Avengers. The Thunderbolts.

Legacy Origins

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

The first series focuses on our new Captain America, Sam Wilson, and shows us all why he deserves to be the one holding that shield and taking up that mantle. There will never be another Steve Rogers, but Sam isn't trying to be Steve. He's his own man, who follows his own principles of what he think is good and right, just like Steve always did. Sam doesn't ask "What would Steve do?" he asks "What am I gonna do?". This is what leads him to reluctantly working alongside frenemy Bucky Barnes, The White Wolf, formerly The Winter Solider, and one of their greatest former adversaries, Baron Zemo. As well as eventually the disgraced former Captain America, John Walker, later U.S. Agent. Three different levels of reformed villainy, all with ties to Captain America, exactly what Val is looking for.

Black Widow

In Black Widow we meet Yelena Belova, Natasha's beloved, albeit faked, younger sister. And she encapsulates everything that is right with Nat with new flaws of her own. Stuck trapped a member of the Red Room for so long because her sister provided Dreykov with the perfect cover for him to disappear. Forced to harm her widow sisters that dare stand out against him. She is finally freed only to be snapped away and returned in an instant to a life without her sister. Now she is ready to take on her own Avengers level threat. Opposite the Widow sisters is Dreykov's daughter the menacing Taskmaster hunting them across borders with ruthless intent and the ability to master any fighting style she analyzes. A cyborg made for war, and freed from enslavement by the very person who put her there in the first place. Is that enough to make up for what Natasha did to Antonia? Val would sure like to know after she failed to turn Yelena against Clint.

Hawkeye

Kate Bishop had always wanted to be a superhero since the day Hawkeye saved her during the battle of New York 2012. He showed her that anyone had the capability to become an Avenger and in return 15 or so years later she proved to him herself that she was capable to do so. Failing to doubt herself she consistently runs head first into situations she is wildly underprepared and ill experienced to deal with. But that surefire assurance in herself is exactly why she's made it this far and she isn't afraid to jump off a building to prove it. Clint's alter ego is the reason she got in trouble in the first place, by imitating the Ronin she brought the wrath of a woman who lost her family by his hands. Will Kingpins interference be enough to mend ties between them? Or will Val use Maya's suffering to her own advantage?

Thor: Love and Thunder

Jane Foster flies high with the reforged Mjolnir putting herself on the line while in sickness to defend the people of New Asgard and Earth in Thor's self-reflective absence. She puts on a full display of heroism worthy of the title Mighty Thor and fights without questioning her own demise until the very end when there was no one else able to save Thor from the God Butcher's grasp. The ultimate personification of self-sacrifice worthy of leading Asgard. However Jane does not lead, the role of King falls on Bruunhilde, the last Valkyrie. While she loves her work she is just so BORED of being a King all the time, she craves a break for more adventure and ends up unfulfilled when the Thor's save the day without her. If a mysterious woman with no name happened to come knocking on her door with a new assignment, she just might take it up. Hell Val's going to need a heavy hitter like Thor if the Thunderbolts want to stand a chance.

She-Hulk

Who you gonna call? She-Hulk, Attorney at Law. She goes green so you get green. What can she say Banner's cousin isn't a fan of the publicity She-Hulk gets over her, but she's got a new job, a new office, and hopefully some new pairs of shoes. Jen is the perfect person to continue the Hulks legacy on Earth. Hulk thinks humans hate him, and for fair reason, but She-Hulk might help allow the public to view Hulks, and an Abomination, as people too. Emil Blonsky doesn't like when you call him that anymore though, he'd prefer to be sipping green margaritas on a beach with his seven soulmates but unfortunately for Blonsky, Val's got other plans.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Tony Stark, Iron Man. There never was and never will be another like him. Thankfully for legacies you don't need to be just like them, you just have to embody their spirit. Riri Williams has spirit in droves and she makes a suit of armor like you wouldn't believe. She looks up to Tony and prefers it that way, no one wants to look down to their hero. If the rumors are true that one of Starks rivals makes an appearance opposite of her in this movie, well then I think we have our answer who Val's final Thunderbolts recruit may be, until then we just have to wait and see.

If you made it this far thank you so much for reading this I really appreciate it. This is a passion post of mine I have been thinking about for days now and finally sat down to put it out into words. I love Marvel, I love the MCU and I love everything Phase 4 has given us. The multiverse saga is going to be a sprawling epic tale combining at least three different teams of heroes, The Thunderbolts, The Fantastic Four and The Avengers. What a lucky fandom we are.

I'd love to hear any thoughts from this community about Phase 4 as a whole, the overarching stories individual stories, theories about what's next, or about my own theories shared here, anything! I don't consider anything I said to be fact, only opinion and if you think I interpreted something incorrectly or if you have a different interpretation please share! Phase 5 looks so exciting and Phase 6 is going to be mind bending I can already see it.

You were in the jet sitting next to Yelena and Kate, the three of you were on your way back to the compound after a very intense mission. The two heroes next to you couldn’t stop talking excitedly about every cool move they’d managed to pull off and though you wanted to join them in celebrating the success of the mission, you found that you suddenly had a really bad headache and felt quite tired.

You figured it simply had something to do with lack of sleep, the few explosions you'd been near along with all the fighting you'd done over the past three days, so you decided to take a nap on the flight home knowing that your girlfriends would be all over you once you returned.

Seeing you dozing off, Kate chuckles, “Guess we wore her out.”

Yelena smirks, “She better get her rest in now. Knowing my sestra(sister) and Wanda, Y/n will definitely have her hands full when we get back.”

After a few hours the jet finally lands, its soft thud on the landing platform isn’t enough to wake you from your slumber so Yelena decides it’s up to her. She stretches before walking over to you, “Come on, wake up sonya(sleepyhead).” she says tugging on your shoulder.

Your eyes open to see a blurry version of her standing in front of you, “We’re home?” you ask, rubbing the exhaustion from your eyes.

“Yup. And you’ll never guess who's out there waiting for you.” Kate teases

You smile at the thought of your girls, you're eager to see them. You stand, and try to play off the dizziness that nearly overwhelms you. You glance over to see that they haven’t noticed, far too busy jokingly hitting each other as they walk towards the back of the jet, the door of which starts to open. Your legs feel stable enough that you take a step forward, apparently that was the wrong move though because you feel vertigo overtake you as you fall to the ground with a thud, your vision spinning before it goes completely dark.

At a loss for what she sees, Yelena freezes in place while Kate rushes to your side. “Y/n? Hey, Y/n?” she says as she shakes you. When you don’t respond she looks at Yelena with panic written on her face.

Yelena finally kicks into gear, she rushes to your side as well and turns you over. Her fingers search your neck for a pulse, “Her pulse is really weak” she says to the archer

Nat finds it odd that despite opening the door to the jet none of you have come out yet. She takes a few steps forward, Wanda right behind when suddenly they hear Kate call your name. They share a look before they both rush in, when they see you on the floor with the others beside you they immediately join them at your side.

“What the hell happened?” Natasha asks as Wanda cups your face. Your head is so warm she's sure you have a fever.

“I don’t know! We were all fine after the mission and she slept the whole way here!” Yelena tells her sister

Nats worried eyes meet Wandas, “We need to get her to Bruce, Tasha. She's burning up.”

The Russian nods before she's gently picking you up, she's careful to support your back and legs. As she heads to the medbay with you, Wanda Yelena and Kate are following right behind, each one of them is as worried about you as the others.

Natasha would have burst through the doors if Wanda hadn’t already thrown them open with her powers, she quickly places you on an empty bed before she shouts for Bruce. He quickly enters the room, confusion written on his face until he sees you on the bed.

“What happened?” he asks, going to the side of the bed to check on you.

“We don’t know. She was fine when we boarded the jet after the mission and she slept the whole flight home.” Kate tells him

“But when she stood up after we landed she just collapsed. It happened so fast she didn’t even say anything to us.” Yelena adds

He looks you over before addressing the others, “You're sure she wasn’t injured?”

Yelena nods as Kate speaks, “Positive. She would have told us if something happened, she knows how much these two worry if she doesn't get her wounds treated before coming home.” she says gesturing at your girlfriends

He hooks you up to the heart monitor, it shows your heart has slowed as well as your breathing. He's about to take your temperature when suddenly your body convulses wildly on the bed, the machine you're hooked up to beeps loudly as your heart rate increases.

“Do something Banner!” Natasha shouts. Nothing like this has ever happened to you before and though she won’t say it right now, she's scared.

Wanda grabs her hand as she watches your face, the expression you make makes her believe you're in pain which worries her even more, “What's happening to her?”

Just as quickly as it started your body goes still again, your heart rate starts dropping along with your breathing again. Bruce shakes his head, “I don’t know what caused the fever, but the fever is most likely responsible for that seizure. We have to cool her down, I’ll go get some ice and ice packs.” he says before rushing off

He’s back so fast that Wanda can’t help but think of Pietro. He places ice packs on various places on your body, and sighs when he can already notice your body cooling off. He hooks up an IV to you, not wanting to risk you getting dehydrated.

“Can’t you give her something for the fever?” Yelena asks

“Normally I would, but without knowing what caused it along with the lower heart rate and shallow breathing, I could do more harm than good.” he states

“What can you do then?” Natasha asks

He thinks a moment before answering, “I can take a blood sample and run it through some tests, other than that we just have to keep her fever down so she doesn't have another seizure.” They all nod at his words and watch as he carefully takes a few vials of your blood for testing.

He's been gone about ten minutes now and from where Kate sits in the corner of the room, she can’t take anymore from her Russian friend. “Yelena please, watching you pace is making my neck hurt.”

“No one said you had to watch me, you know.” she grumbles. Kate knows the blond’s worried about you, and she is too. The three of you had joined the team around the same time and had become best friends almost instantly.

The archer gets up and hugs the other girl, “I’m worried about her too.” she whispers, causing Yelena to hide her face in the girls neck not wanting her tears to be seen by anyone as she tightly hugs back.

Back at your bedside Natashas hand is holding yours, her grip is so tight that one would think it was all that kept you here with them. Her eyes wander your body and face looking for any signs of an overlooked injury but all she finds is Wanda caressing your cheek as she hums your favorite Sokovian lullaby to you, tears make their way down her cheeks..

Several more minutes pass by and your eyes slowly flutter open, the room spins for a moment before everything comes into focus. “Why am I in the med bay?” you croak out

You can see relief on your girlfriends faces, “You passed out in the jet detka(baby), you were burning up with a high fever and you had a seizure.” Wanda tells you, and you can only imagine how worried she and Natasha were.

“Do you know why you'd have a fever? Were you sick?” Nat asks you

Your brow furrows in confusion as you try to remember the flight home, but you can’t even remember getting on the jet. “No, I-I felt fine. Nothing was wrong, and I didn’t even get hurt on the mission.”

“It’s ok kotenok(kitten), we’ll figure out what's going on.” Natasha says as she runs a hand through your hair to help soothe you, Wandas hand never leaves your cheek. You relax into their touch which allows Yelena and Kate to finally relax as well.

Bruce finally walks back into the room, some papers and a chart in hand. He smiles when he notices you’re awake. “Hey Y/n, how are you feeling?”

“Not too bad considering. Find out what's wrong with me?” you answer

He frowns, “Actually no. All your blood work came back fine. There's not even anything remotely close to showing you even have the common cold let alone the flu or something worse.”

“I don’t understand, if she's not sick then-” Your yell cuts Nat off mid sentence and everyones eyes fall on you. Your face contorts in pain as your hands claw and clutch at your chest.

“Detka(Baby), what is it? What's wrong?” Wanda asks as the panic builds in her again

“C-chest…it h-hurts…..hurts so b-bad.” you manage to say as tears slide down your face.

Wanda cries with you, she hates feeling so helpless while you're in so much pain. Tears fall from Natashas eyes as well, she hasn’t said those three simple yet meaningful words to you and Wanda yet. She needs you to be ok, she needs to be able to tell you her feelings, to have you both by her side for the rest of your lives.

A coughing fit suddenly overwhelms you, hoping for some relief you force yourself to sit up. But things only get worse as blood begins to drip down your chin as you cough and gasp for air. After about a minute you're able to regain control of your breathing and calm the coughing fit.

Natasha cups the back of your head, pulling you into her chest as her hand rubs soothing circles on your back in an attempt to lessen your pain. You settle into her embrace, contently listening to her heartbeat as she plants kisses to the top of your head. Wanda gently lifts your chin allowing her to be able to clean the blood off of you.

Nat can see fear on Wandas face again, but before she can ask why she feels your body stiffen in her arms. She pulls back from you to see your eyes are rolled back as your body begins to convulse again. She gently lays you back into the bed and nearly sobs as blood trickles from your nose.

Your girlfriends are even more scared now. Wanda clings to Natasha as she feels dread eat away at her. You had to be ok, she can’t lose anyone else in her life, especially one of the women she loves with her whole heart.

Yelena and Kate nearly breakdown at the end of your bed. They’d seen you sick and hurt before but nothing like this. Nothing that didn’t have an immediately known cause and remedy. They only breathe a sigh of relief once your body stills and your breathing situates itself.

Bruce wracks his brain for an answer of what could be doing this to you, if it wasn’t an illness then it had to be something that was done to or given to you. “Was there a laboratory at the facility you took down?” he asks the blond next to him

“O Bozhe(Oh God), yes there was.” she answers

Natasha looks to her little sister, “Did she go in or near it?”

Kate nods, “She's the only one of us who did.”

Bruce pulls out his phone and dials up the only other person he can think of who would be able to help in this situation, Tony. He explains the situation to the billionaire, who quickly meets Bruce in the hall by your room in med bay.

“Alright, I’ll head to the building and take samples once I’m in the lab. I can even have FRIDAY set up a live video feed if you'd like.” he tells the scientist

“Yes please. In order to be able to help her I need literally all the information that lab has to offer.” Bruce replies

Tony frowns as he looks in at you, “She doing that bad huh?”

“Honestly, yes. I haven’t said anything to them yet, but if I can’t figure out what she's been exposed to so I can help her, she’ll fall into a coma and eventually die” he answers

Neither had noticed the Russian leaning in your rooms doorway, her curiosity and need to know what was happening to you found her there when she noticed Tonys arrival. “And you haven’t told my sister and Wanda?!”

The scientist turns, startled by her outburst, “I had hoped to figure out how to help her before it got to be that bad, but I had every intention of informing them of the seriousness of this situation.”

“Then inform us now Bruce.” Nat says, her sisters reaction clearly got her attention as well as Wandas

“Please, will Y/n be ok?” Wanda adds

He sighs, “If I can find what's doing this to her and reverse its effects, yes. Otherwise she’ll fall into a coma and die.” he admits

Wandas lip trembles as tears stream down her face, “No…”

Tears stream down Natashas face as well, and she holds Wanda close, “We can’t lose her, we can’t.”

“That's why I better get going.” Tony says as he turns and starts to head for the jet hanger.

“He's going to the lab Y/n was in to see what's there and take samples. He's going to send me live video as well.” Bruce explains to the four women around him

Once Tony arrives at the Hydra compound from your earlier mission he taps his arc realtor allowing his suit to form around him before he heads inside. He quickly locates what floor the lab is on and makes his way there. Based on how messy and rubble filled the room is this might be harder than anticipated, so he quickly has FRIDAY begin streaming the video back to Bruce.

Bruce has the video scent to your rooms large screen tv allowing the others in the room to see the footage as well, though Yelena and Kate are really the only two watching and paying attention. You haven't woken up since your second seizure and your girlfriends refuse to leave your side in the hopes that you’ll wake up again soon.

Tony rifles through cupboards looking at all the chemicals and substances in the lab, he comes across an area that was clearly set up for creating and testing compounds and that's when Bruce stops him.

“Wait Tony, go back to that set up.” he says. Tony does as requested, “That flower, can you give me a closer look?”

“Sure thing.” he replies, gently picking it up and holding it closer to his face plate where the camera is

The scientist quickly writes a few things down on a note pad before continuing, “Ok now I need to see the label on that small vial of white powder, but be careful with it Tony.”

“Right.” he says as he slowly and carefully spins the vial until he can read the label, “Oh hell. Banner, are you seeing this?”

“Yeah Tony, I am. This is worse than expected.” he says. His words gain the attention of your girlfriends. Wandas heart drops and Natashas stomach twists in knots as Tonys camera focuses on the word ‘Anthrax’. “You can head back now Tony.” the scientist says

“I hope it’s not too late to help the kid.” Tony solemnly says

Bruce turns to you and sees four pairs of eyes staring at him, “Me too Tony, me too.” he says before the video chat ends

Yelena is the first to speak, “The flower, what was it?”

“Oleander. Poisonous to humans and paired with anthrax it makes an even deadlier pathogen.

“You can help her though, right?” Kate asks

“Honestly, I can give her some injections to help but inhaling anthrax is almost always fatal even with treatment.” he answers before he rushes to the medication refrigerator in the next room. He grabs a vial of DigiFab for the Oleander and a vial of Ciprofloxacin for the anthrax. He comes back into the room and Wanda moves to your other side with Nat to be out of his way.

“If…if she can be helped, how long until they actually start working?” the Russian asks

“Only a half hour for this one, it should stop any more seizures from happening as well as any other Oleander side effects.” he says before injecting it into your arm, “This one will unfortunately take a few hours to kick in. If she's lucky it will lessen her chest pain and fever, as well as helping any of her respiratory problems.”

A few hours have passed since Bruce gave you your treatments, Tony returned and visited your room for a while but once it began to get dark he took his leave. Yelena dosen’t want to leave your side, and honestly Kate dosen’t either but she knows you would want them to go and get some rest and not wait up all night pacing a rut into the floor.

“Come on Yelena, we should go get some rest.” she says

Yelena frowns as she looks at the archer, “You want to leave her?”

“No, of course not. But that bed is just barely going to fit the three of them, and you know she wouldn’t want us staying up all night worrying. We can stay in my room since it’s closer to the med bay and I can have FRIDAY tell us if anything changes with her ok?” she asks. Yelena looks over to you, then Wanda, then her sister.

“It’s ok sestra(sister), we’ll be here so she won’t be alone and like Kate says if anything changes FRIDAY will update you. Go get some sleep.” Nat tels her

“Okay, fine.” she says before she and Kate make their way over to you, the blond squeezes your hand, “Don’t do anything stupid like die while I’m away.”

Kate grabs your hand after Yelena is through speaking to you, “We’ll be back tomorrow Y/n.”

After they leave Bruce comes in to check on you again, he notices some improvements which is a good sign and he tells your girlfriends he’ll be sleeping in the office right across the hall just in case he's needed. They thank him and as he leaves, they gently make their way into the hospital bed with you, one on each side they snuggle into you. Wanda reaches an arm across your stomach and Nat grabs a hold of her hand, she brings it up to her face and presses a few kisses into her knuckles.

The Sokovian presses a gentle kiss into your cheek, “I love you detka(baby), please wake up soon” She squeezes Nats hand, “I love you Tasha.”

Natasha smiles, “I love you too.” she finally admits making Wanda smile for the first time that night. She kisses your other cheek, “I want to tell you that too so please don’t leave us kotenok(kitten)”

“You know, she already knows. We both always knew you loved us, you showed it with your actions every day Tasha. We knew it was just hard for you to admit those feelings to yourself and then to us.” she tells the redhead

She nods, “I know, but I know how I feel now and I’m confident in saying it. I need her to hear it, just like I needed you to hear it.”

Wanda smiles at her before they both end up drifting off into a restless night of sleep. Morning comes eventually and as always Natasha is the first to wake up. She's relieved to hear the normal rhythm of your heart on the machine along with seeing the steady rise and fall of your chest. She misses the feeling of your arm around her, holding her close to you. She scoots closer to you and rests her head on your shoulder.

From where her head now is she can’t see your eyes flutter open or the smile that spreads across your face when you see both of them cuddled into you. You kiss the top of her head before pulling back.

Her head lifts off your shoulder so fast and her eyes fill with tears as she takes in your beautiful sleepy face. You wrap your arm around her waist pulling her close and she wraps her arms around your neck as she buries her face into your neck. “I’m so glad you're ok.” she mumbles before moving to place a kiss on your lips, “I love you Y/n, so much”

You smile brightly at her, your heart flutters as you finally hear her admit what you've known for a while now, “I love you too Tasha.”

Wandas eyes open as she hears your voice, “Y/n?”

“Hey baby.” you reply

She wraps her arms around you and hugs you tightly, “I’m so glad you're alright. I love you.”

You place a kiss to her lips, “Love you too” No sooner do you finish saying that do you see Yelena and And Kate burst into the room, both of them still in their pajamas. Their faces light up as they see your smile.

“Y/n!!” Kate shouts as she jumps on top of you and Wanda

“Vy tupitsa(you dumbass!) Don’t scare us like that!” Yelena shouts as she jumps on top of you and Natasha

Wanda giggles at their antics as Nats rolls her eyes. You chuckle, “It’s not like I meant to, hell I still don’t even know what happened that got me here.”

“Oleander and anthrax poisoning.” Bruce says from the doorway, a smile on his face at the relief of seeing you awake. “You're actually very lucky to be awake right now, let alone be alive.”

“How the hell did Hydra get a hold of anthrax?! We need to figure out if they have more and what their plans are for using it.” you say

“Shhh” Kate says as she holds a finger up to your mouth, you give her a confused look

Yelena shakes her head, “Steve, Tony and Bucky are handling that, you literally almost died. So just relax, shut up and lay here.”

“Yes ma’am.” you respond, “Wait, does this mean no missions for a while and lots of cuddles?” you ask your girlfriends

“So many cuddles detka(baby)” Wanda says

Natasha hums in agreement, “And you won't be going anywhere for at least a month.”

You smile, “As long as my two menaces here still come harass me.”

“Of course!” Kate replies as she hugs you

Yelena frowns at you, “Who are you calling a menace?” Natasha simply laughs
