29 Remember Us

"Excuse us." Steve said to a man that opened the door. He put his hand up and stepped out of the way as we walked inside.

"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, this is Steve Rogers." Steve announced using the speaker's so everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. Would hear. "You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. Is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. And Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those Helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

"Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?" Sam asked when Steve finished.

"They're initiating launch." Hill told us.

———

"Hey, Cap, how do we know the good guys from the bad guys?" Sam asked as the three of us ran, I ran a bit slower with my side than was stabbed hurting a whole lot.

"If they're shooting at you, they're bad." Steve said as Sam took out his wing's flying up as Steve and I jumped down where the plane's were.

I ran behind Steve as we were shot at but only hit Steve's Shield.
I slowed down a bit as we reached some cargo. I took out a couple of men before joining back with Steve just as he threw a grenade.

    "Hey, Cap, I found those bad guys you were talking about." We heard Sam say through the radio.

    "You okay?" Steve asked.

    "I'm not dead yet." Sam answered.

    "So I'll take that as a good thing." I say.

  "Alright, Cap, Barnes, I'm in." I heard Sam say.

We continued running, both of us defeating anyone coming at us, it took me a lot more effort though as the pain in my side grew with my new cut's and bruises.

    "Eight minutes." I heard Hill say.

    "Working on it." Steve answered as we ran inside. One of the helicarriers.

———

Steve swapped out the little targeting blades for one of ours.

    "Alpha lock." Steve said.

    "Two down, one to go." Hill announced.

     "Steve and I will get the last one." I tell her.

    "Charlie carrier is 45 degrees off the port bow." We heard two loud gunshots before she spoke again, "Six minutes."

    "Hey, Sam, gonna need a ride." Steve called as we ran avoiding the bullets.

    "Roger. Let me know when you two are ready." Sam said as I felt a pain grow in my right shoulder as a bullet hits.

    "I just did!" Steve yelled as we jumped off the helicarrier holding hands and falling fast.

Finally Sam reached us grabbing onto Steve's hand as he fly's us up and dropping us down on the last helicarrier.

    "You know, you two are a lot heavier than you look." Sam told us as the three of us walked.

    "Most of that is Steve." I say.

    "I had a big breakfast." Steve said.
At that moment someone came out of nowhere kicking Steve off the helicarrier.

    "Steve!" Sam and I yelled as we ran over to the edge.
I came to a sudden stop as I watched Sam jump off spreading his wings but he was barely able to leave the ground when a metal arm tightly grabbed one of his wings before throwing him back onto the helicarrier.
I still just stood there not knowing what to do as I looked at Bucky.

Sam started shooting at the him but Bucky flipped out of the way and got cover. As soon as Sam flew past Bucky, he shot at him slamming Sam back down and ripping off one of his wings. Sam wasn't even able to stand up fully before Bucky ran at him and kicked him off leaving only me.
Bucky turned towards but I couldn't hurt him, I have killed hundreds of people but I couldn't hurt him, I could never hurt Bucky.
He ran at me but I just dodged. Every punch, kick elbow I block never hitting him back until I tripped and fell backwards with his on top of me. I felt the tears forming in my eyes as Bucky raised his metal fist.

"Bucky, Bucky please, I know you're still in there." I beg looking directly in his now cold blue eyes that I use to find comfort and safety in.
I watched as pulled his fist back a little more. I squeezed my eyes tightly shut and waited as his arm quickly came down. There was a loud bang right beside my ear, I opened my eyes and slowly looked his metal fist made a dent in the ground directly beside my head. With out saying a word Buck pulled his arm up and got off of me.
I lay there slowing down my breath and heart rate as a smile slowly formed on my lips.
He recolonize's me, well not fully. He can remember who I am but a part of him can't hurt me.

Slowly I pull myself out of my head and sit up back to reality as a strong pain comes from my side I look down to see blood leaking through the fabric.
"Shit!" I mumble as I push my body off the ground and run, ignoring my pain, leaving blood from my shoulder and stomach on the ground.

—————

I find Steve and Bucky locked in combat below me.
I watch in fear as Steve holds Bucky up by his neck before flipping him over and grabbing his real arm twisting it back.

"Drop it!" Steve yelled. "Drop it!"

My heart skipped a beat as a scream filled with pain ripped from Bucky's throat. But I knew I couldn't stop Steve because Steve was the one on my side.
I watched as Steve flipped over and held Bucky on top of him in a headlock.
I saw the colour leaving Bucky's face and his body stopped struggling as he also dropped the targeting blade.

    "Steve! Let him go!" I screamed as Steve realized Bucky released the targeting blade.
Steve let go of Bucky and quickly grabbed the targeting blade before running back up.
Unable to stop myself I jump down and ran over to a weak Bucky.

     "Bucky?" I say gently touching his shoulder.

Bucky turned around shoving me off and to the ground as he got up and shot up at Steve as he was desperately climbing.
I started to get up to stop Bucky but he quickly pointed the gun at my head, but he didn't pull the trigger instead he just turned back to Steve.

    "30 seconds." I heard Hill say.

    "Stand by." Steve gasped just as Bucky took another shot and Steve slowly sunk down.

   "Come on, Steve." I whispered.

    "Charlie lock." I heard Steve pant.

    "Okay, Cap, (Y/n), get out of there." Hill said.

     "Fire now." Steve ordered.

    "But, Steve..." Hill started.

    "Fire now!" I yelled.

    "Do it!" Steve shouted. "Do it now!"

The carrier shook violently as some giant holes were shot through the glass.

Then I heard a scream, Bucky's scream. I quickly looked around and spotted him pinned down a giant fallen support from the carrier.

Steve crashed down as I ran over watching as Bucky struggled to escape. I look to Steve as he was weakly thrown to the ground when the ship shook. Steve was very badly injured.
Steve got back up and went back to the support.

    "Steve, on three. One, two, three." We both pulled up leaving Bucky just enough room to climb out.
We drop the metal as Steve and I take deep breaths. I stumbled back holding my arms around my stomach.

"You know me. You know us." Steve tried turning to Bucky as they both slowly stood up.

"NO, I DON'T!" Bucky yelled swinging at Steve but luckily Steve pulled up his Shield just in time but they both still fell to the ground.

"Bucky. You've known me your whole life." Steve said. I watched as Bucky punched Steve hard across the face knocking him down.

"Your name is James Buchanan Barnes." Steve said standing up. "You're married to (Y/n) Barnes."

"SHUT UP!" Bucky shouted punching Steve again throwing him back.
Steve pushed himself up pulling off his mask revealing his whole face to Bucky.

"I'm not gonna fight you." Steve said dropping his Shield, letting it fall through the broken glass.

"You're my Husband." I say standing up.

"You're my friend." Steve told him.

Bucky charged forward slamming Steve to the ground with his head over the edge as he started punching him.

"You're my mission!" Bucky yelled punching Steve over and over again.

"Bucky! Stop!" I yell not wanting him to kill Steve, I run out and grab his metal arm.
He easily yanked it from my weak grasp and punched me back, knocking me down.

"Then finish it." Steve mumbled weakly, "Because I'm with you to the end of the line."

Those words made Bucky stop for a while and the good seamed to win inside of him for a moment before he started to punch Steve again.
I pushed myself up and gently grabbed Bucky's face before I kissed him. At first he was confused but didn't stop it soon he joined. The world around me went silent as if Bucky and I were the only two people in the universe. I missed him more than anything, I would rather spend the rest of my life alone than be with someone else.
I started to feel myself falling away and when I opened my eyes the ground below me had fallen and I was going with it. I look up at Bucky, there was fear, guilt and sadness in his eyes as he watched me fall. The last thing I saw was Bucky let go and fall towards me, but everything went black went I felt something collide with my head.

——————

The next thing I saw was a bright light shining down on my face. I was out for a couple days mainly from blood loss.

———

All S.H.I.E.L.D. And HYDRA files were made public anything that was secret was not any more. Right after I left HYDRA I deleted everything they had on me, I was worried that I missed one but luckily I didn't and for the time being it stayed just how I liked it with only Fury knowing about my past.

——————

"So, you've experienced this sort of thing before." Fury said as Sam, Steve and I stood by his grave.

"You get used to it." Steve said.

"We've been data mining HYDRA's files. Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight. Wanted to ask if you'd come." Fury said.

"There's something I got to do first." Steve said.

"Barnes?" Fury asked.

"Sorry, I go where Steve goes." I say.

"How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities." Fury asked turning to Sam.

"I'm more of a Soldier than a spy." Sam said.

"All right, then." Fury said sticking his hand out and we all shook it. "Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me, right here."

"You should be honoured. That's about as close as he gets to saying thank you." Nat said walking over to us as Fury left.

"Not going with him?" Steve asked.

"No." Nat shook her head.

"Not staying here." I said.

"Nah." Nat smiled. "I blew all my covers. I got to go figure out a new one."

"That might take a while." Steve said.

"I'm counting on it. That thing you asked for." Nat said taking out a file. "I called in a few favours from Kiev. Will you do me a favour? Call that nurse."

"She's not a nurse." Steve said.

"And you're not a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent." Nat said.

"What was her name again?" Steve asked.

"Sharon. She's nice. " Nat smiled and ave Steve a gentle kiss on the cheek before she left. "Be careful, Steve, (Y/n). You might not want to pull on that thread."

Steve opened the fire to see a big photo of Bucky being frozen then in the corner there was a small black and white one of him in his war uniform.

"You're going after him." Sam said.

"You don't have to come with us." Steve told him.

"I know. When do we start?" Sam said.
