Warnings: Pregnancy, death of major character(s), canon typical violence

Synopsis: You thought Sam Wilson was the love of your life. You had planned to do it all with him - marriage, kids, see the world. Even when you’re life gets turned upside down, and you both end up international fugitives, he’s there by your side.

Then Thanos comes.

When Sam is one of the many turned to dust, leaving you alone and pregnant, you don’t think you’ll ever stop grieving. Yet, everyone tells you that Sam would want you to move on and live your life - that he’d want you to be happy. Gradually you open your heart up to another. Carol Danvers has lost people too. First her daughter, then her wife. As the two of you lean on each other, feelings grow and you move on together.

So what happens when Sam is returned to you?

Chapter 5: When the Dust Settles

Steve had gotten the call from Bruce late at night. It had come in on his emergency burner phone - the one that only Tony Stark had the number for. You’d seen him answer it with shaking hands, and the different possibilities of why Tony might be calling had all seemed to run through your head simultaneously. Had they overturned the Accords? Had they dropped the charges against all of you? Was he just calling to say sorry or that he missed Steve? Had something bad happened? Was there an attack and the Accords didn’t matter now, because they needed everyone on board? Had something happened to Rhodey?

While one of those was right, the last thing you’d expected to hear was for Steve to say the words; ‘Bruce calm down, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say’.

You’d watched the news on the flight to Scotland to retrieve Vision and Wanda. You’d been told Vision was at risk of attack and your group had arrived not a second too soon. Wanda and Vision were being attacked by two aliens that had to be at least six-foot-six.

Your group had managed to protect them, though Vision had been injured and Steve decided that with this attack, it was time to go home.

Despite what was happening, you couldn’t help but be excited to go back to the compound. Maybe if you could all deal with this, it would show everyone how the Avengers were needed and you could all go home for good. You wondered if Tony had kept your things and if not where they would be. You were excited to just be somewhere familiar even if it was just for a minute.

“Don’t get your hopes up too high,” Sam said, practically reading your mind. “This is bad, babe.”

“I know,” you said with a sigh. “I know but… we don’t lose.”

“Don’t do that!” He yelped. “You’re gonna jinx us.”

“Sorry,” you sighed, shaking your head. “It’s just been so long.”

He rubbed your back. “And everything is a mess. We’ll just do the right thing.”

“Hope for the best, expect the worst,” you said.

“That’s right,” Sam said.

You had stayed at the compound for even less time than you had expected. A greeting from a holographic Secretary Ross that involved an order to have you arrested, an awkward greeting between Bruce and Natasha, and debate about how this whole thing was going to be faced. This ‘whole thing’ being an alien megalomaniac who seemed to have a philosophy degree but thought he was an expert on ecology. He believed that the way to solve overpopulation and limited resources was to destroy half of all life and was now collecting some stones that would allow him to do it. One of the stones currently resided in Vision’s head.

So it was back on the Quinn for a return trip to Wakanda in the hopes that Shuri might be able to remove the stone from Vision’s head so that it could be destroyed before another attack took place.

While Shuri worked on Vision the rest of you prepared for battle. You went to have a quick medical once over before this got started. The nerves you’d been feeling were making you a little lightheaded and you wanted to make sure it wasn’t anything that would get you into trouble during a fight.

“You are a little anemic,” the medic said. “I’d say that is from the slight malnutrition. All of your teammates are a little undernourished. But the pregnancy won’t help.”

You blinked at her and shook your head. “Sorry - the what?”

“You didn’t know you were pregnant?” She asked. “It’s very new? Five weeks? No signs of nausea yet?”

“No… no. I… but… we’re… we use protection!”

“These things can happen, and with the current lifestyle you’re leading, it would be no surprise if you missed a dosage or there was a breakage,” she said. “I’m sorry. If you don’t want this we can talk about what you want to do at a more opportune moment.”

You shook your head, not sure what to think. You laughed… or at least you tried to. It was more of a hysterical sounding screech. “Right. Let’s wait until the world isn’t ending.”

“I’m sorry, this is a lot to take in today, isn’t it?” The medic said, going to a cabinet of medication. She shook a couple of pills out of a bottle and brought them over to you with a small cup of water. “Here, take these. It will help with any lightheadedness and nausea you might experience. We don’t want that in the midst of what’s to come.”

You quickly swallowed the pills and started to redress in your armor. “Thank you, doc,” you said. “Sorry for bringing this fight to your door.”

“If it is as serious as they say and you can’t stop it, then we won’t be protected just because we’re in Wakanda,” she said with a shrug. “Not this time.” She sighed and looked at you. “Take care of yourself. When you’ve saved the world, talk to the father and the two of you can come back to see me, and I’ll help you with the next step, whatever that is.”

“Thank you,” you said sincerely. “That’s really kind.”

You went outside to where Sam, Rhodey, and Bucky were all waiting by the ships. “All good?” Sam asked, looking back at you.

Before you could answer there was a loud rumble in the sky. You looked up to see a huge ship that resembled some kind of tower entering the atmosphere.

Sam pressed his finger to his comms device. “Hey, Cap, we’ve got a situation here.”

It crashed into the dome above and exploded on impact, completely disintegrating in the air above you.

“God, I love this place,” Bucky said, as he looked up at it.

“Yeah, don't start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome,” Rhodey added as more of the ships landed around the perimeter of the dome that protected Wakanda from the rest of the world.

Sam approached you. “Guess it's the end of the world time,” he said as alarms started sounding and people began to scramble.

You briefly and tenderly kissed him, the secret that you had burning inside you. “Sam,” you said, taking his hand.

He looked at you and raised an eyebrow. “What’s up.”

You wanted to tell him but now was not the time. He needed his head in the game, and so did you. “Don’t do anything dumb.”

He laughed. “You sound like Steve just before he jumps off the side of a building. I’ve got wings, I’ll be fine.”

“See you when the dust settles,” you said.

“Yeah, you too,” he agreed and pecked your cheek. The two of you then ran off in different directions. You gathered with Bucky and Natasha, while he went to speak to Rhodey.

Steve, T’Challa, the Dora Milaje all arrived not long after, and your team and the armies of Wakanda were all marched onto carriers as Bruce messed around with a set of Kimoyo Beads with the help of Okoye. As you were settling onto the carrier, a hole opened in the dome above your head and the Veronica Unit crashed down to earth nearby. Natasha sighed and vaulted off the carrier going to help Bruce get a handle of the Hulk Buster armor.

By the time you were all flying your way down to the borders of Wakanda, you were in the blank zone that you hid in when you needed to rely on your instincts alone.

Sam and Rhodey flew overhead as the carriers took the armies to their positions and you all formed a large wall facing the dome that held the aliens out.

Steve, T’Challa, and Natasha went to the barrier to talk to the two aliens you had fought in Scotland. You watched on, knowing it wasn’t going to amount to anything. The female raised her spear and the ships began to open up.

“Did they surrender?” Bucky asked.

“Not exactly,” Steve replied as he resumed his position.

Hoards of huge beasts ran through the treeline towards the barrier. “Looks like we pissed her off,” Natasha said.

You watched on as swarms of the beasts began attacking the barrier, throwing themselves on it, not caring that it was skinning them and tearing them apart too. “They’re killing themselves,” Okoye said, horrified.

Some began to breach the barrier and charge towards the waiting army. Bucky, Bruce, and the Wakandan Army began attacking them with long-range weapons, felling them as they broke past Rhodey and Sam who attacked them at the wall.

“Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us... there's nothing between them and Vision,” Bruce said through the comms.

“Then we better keep 'em in front of us,” Steve said gravely.

“How do we do that?” Okoye asked T’Challa.

“We open the barrier,” T’Challa said, and touched his comms device. “On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen. On my signal.”

“This will be the end of Wakanda,” M’Baku said to Okoye.

“Then it will be the noblest ending in history,” Okoye said.

Everyone readied themselves while T’Challa shouted his commands in Xhosa to the army around him. The border tribesmen let down their shields and T’Challa walked out in front of them. “Wakanda forever!” He shouted and everyone charged.

As you ran down towards the border, pulling out your batons and hoping to god that you had the strength to get through this battle, the barrier opened and the beasts flooded through.

You were back from the frontlines when you encountered your first one, and you battled it, back to back with one of the river tribesman, the two of you taking it down together. Two more attacked immediately, separating you from the man and you did your best to take the one you were facing down. You could already see that this was not going to go as planned. There were so many of them and they were so strong. You managed to take down two others when you saw Bruce getting overwhelmed in the hulkbuster armor. It felt hopeless, but you needed to win this. You needed to go home with Sam and start your life together. This couldn’t be how it ended.

There was a large crack and then something flew through the sky, taking out dozens of the beasts in one go, freeing up both yourself and several of your teammates. When the air cleared what you realized was a large ax flew into the hand of Thor, who stood with what appeared to be a humanoid tree and a raccoon holding a gun that was at least as big as it was.

Bruce retracted his helmet and laughed loudly. “Ah-hahaha! You guys are so screwed now!”

“Bring me Thanos!” Thor roared, charging towards the leaders of the beasts. He jumped into the air and slammed back down to the ground, his lightning taking out a huge swarm of them.

Thor turned the tide of the battle. The hoard was being kept back and Thor seemed to be getting closer and closer to their leader. The hopefulness began to return and you got a new surge of energy. You were going to win this. You and Sam were going to go home and retire. He was going to run his business with his sister.

There was a deep rumble and the earth itself began to quake. A huge wave ran out underground, sending trees flying and bursting out from under the walls of the dome were huge weaponized wheels that began to churn up everything, people included.

“Fall back! Fall back now!” T’Challa yelled and you began to run back away from the combat, trying to get away from the machines.

Wanda flew out from the window and threw one of them, taking it completely out of play. Your relief at the next of your biggest hitters joining the field was short-lived as you saw Vision tumble out of the window of the palace and down the face of Mount Bashenga.

“Guys, we got a Vision situation here,” Sam said through the comms.

“Somebody get to Vision!” Steve shouted.

“I got him,” Bruce said, taking off in the direction of the synthoid.

“On my way,” Wanda echoed.

You kept fighting. Everything became more and more chaotic around you, and your battle turned away from actually trying to stop them, to just trying to survive long enough that you could get to the end of the battle. The rest of your teammates seemed to head toward a copse of trees while you were still stuck in the open. You wanted to be with them if this all went south. You didn’t want to die in a field surrounded by strangers, but with each step forward you made you were pushed back two more by the invaders.

Thor had begun to destroy the alien ships, bolstering your hope again despite the fact your energy was waning. You could hear the battle cries of the Jabari as they began to take control of the battle and slowly you began to start gaining on the treeline.

An eerie silence fell on the battlefield and you picked up your speed running to where your friends were.

“Everyone, on my position. We have incoming,” Steve said over comms. You looked around for some sign of more ships or something, but you had no idea what he was talking about.

You arrived in time to see Sam being hurled aside by a huge purple man that you could only assume was Thanos. You charged at the titan, knowing it was no use, but knowing also that it was death either way. He batted you aside like you were nothing, you hit your head, and lost consciousness.

When you came too, you thought for a second you were hallucinating. There were people on the battlefield turning to dust. You scrambled to your feet and looked around, blinking your eyes. This couldn’t be happening. People couldn’t just be disintegrating.

“Sam?!” You called turning around and running in the direction where you last saw him.

Rhodey was looking around with the same look of confusion everyone else seemed to share. “Sam?” He called as he gazed around the forest floor.

“Sam!” You screamed. “Sam! Answer me!”

“We’ll find him,” Rhodey assured you. “He’s gotta be here.”

“He was right here. I saw him here,” you said, and dropped to your knees, running your hands over the ground where you were sure he’d been. Your hands came back covered in the dust you’d seen other people disintegrating into. It was him. You’d lost him. You had expected the worst but even your worst hadn’t been you left here alone. You sunk back on your knees and wailed.

Every Little Voice✨

Part Four

Bucky x Reader

requested by: @thunderstormsandsugar

summary: you were a test subject for HYDRA. After being sent on a mission as nothing more than a murderer, a certain someone shows you the light.

AUTHORS NOTE: hope you’re enjoying this series!! in this chapter, Steve’s a little bit cocky and arrogant BUT I LOVE HIM OKAY it’s just for the sake of the story haha I’m sorry I don’t want to murder his character

warnings: none

“I told you I didn’t want this.”

“Come on! Just blow it out...please?” Bucky pleaded like a six year-old, holding the cupcake in front of your face. From the flame of the hot pink candle, his eyes lit up and a goofy grin pulled at the edges of his lips.

The two of you, especially you, had come a long way since the day you decided to escape HYDRA and try to readapt to the world. The past two years had been spent trying to rediscover who you were, and who you are now. The years had been exhausting but fulfilling, learning the full extent of what you could do with all of the powers and strengths you had, and expunging the traces of HYDRA that had left a mark on you. You were your own person now, and Bucky had kept his promise, never leaving your side through it all.

Deciding you didn’t want to fight anymore, you worked more behind the scenes with Bruce, becoming a team doctor since you enjoyed the lab and science. Your proved yourself to be smart and capable, but it took a while before everyone warmed up to you, some still not even considering you as an acquaintance. You knew that Wanda, especially after what you had done, would take a long time, and you weren’t expecting her to forgive you anytime soon. The others kept their distance, unsure of how you would act. You convinced yourself they were just looking out for themselves, but after a while, their exclusion began to hurt. It wasn’t until you had saved Sam and Tony’s lives on a mission that they eventually became somewhat of a family to you.

Bucky snapped you of out of your trance as he waved the cupcake under your nose once more. Today you were celebrating two years of becoming yourself and finding a place in the world where you thought you had none. You couldn’t have done it without Bucky and your heart paused just thinking about your time with him. You were just getting to know the world again and rediscovering your life and didn’t want a relationship. You wanted to grow individually before attaching yourself to someone but, Bucky was the reason you had taken a leap of faith in the first place. And you couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to be with him.

“Hello? Are you going to make a wish? The wax is melting and that would be awful to eat.” Bucky joked. The two of you became more open and spent most days together, becoming inseparable and seeing sides of each other you didn’t think they had. You closed your eyes and gently put out the flame with a breath, hoping your wish would come true soon.

“I was thinking we could do something today, just you and me.” You suggested, biting your lip nervously. You had found yourself and uncovered memories that helped you develop. Now, it was your time to form new memories with the person you couldn’t get enough of. For the first time in a long time, you couldn’t be happier with life. Bucky nodded, examining your shy state.

“Hey, I hate to break up the love fest, but we need both of you,” Sam smirked. He and the others were constantly pushing the idea of the two of you together. They thought that the hours, months, and days of being with each other obviously had to mean there was something there. Bucky rolled his eyes as the two of you followed Sam to the mission room where Steve was about to give a briefing.

It was no surprise that everyone’s heads turned in your direction when the two of you walked in together, a chorus of “of course we’re waiting for them” and “look who’s here” greeting you both. Your cheeks burnt with embarrassment as you brushed off the comments and tried to focus on Steve.

“Eyes up, guys. Now in the past years we’ve had a lot of success bringing down HYDRA’s labs and bases. It’s been almost too easy...”

Steve continued to talk as chills ran through your body. HYDRA’s toxicity may have not been apart of you anymore, but just hearing it’s name still took a toll on you. Your shaking became noticeable, and Bucky understood as he put a comforting arm around you. You settled into his arm, trying to calm yourself.

“The word is they’re launching something big. An attack most likely on a city. It should be an easy sweep in, take them out, come back,” Steve stated simply, brushing off HYDRA like dust on his shoulder. You scoffed loudly, drawing people’s attention to you. You shrunk farther into Bucky’s arms, hating the stares that came your way.

“Is there something you wanted to share, Y/N?” You had started to let people call you by your name after a couple weeks, settling back into what you wanted to be “normal”.

“You said it was something big. But your plan of attack was nonchalant, like you’re not worried it’s going to take that long. How is that possible?” You objected. Rhodey raised his eyebrows and Tony smirked, impressed with your defiance.

“Y/N, it’s just the same old routine on a bigger scale. It’s nothing we haven’t done before. Unless, you want to join in?” Steve offered. Natasha’s mouth dropped open slightly, eyeing the obvious tension brewing between the two of you. No one really countered Cap’s orders.

“Steve, you know I gave up fighting.”

“Okay. Well if we get in trouble,” Steve put air quotes around the word “trouble”, “I’ll know who to call.”

His arrogance made you simmer, but instead of launching into an argument with how the team needed to be better prepared for this “big” mission if it was more dangerous, you shut your mouth and allowed him to carry on with everybody’s assignments.

“Well, I think that’s all. We have an hour till we need to-“

A loud crash sounded in the distance followed by more thunderous blares and noises. All heads turned to Steve.

“I don’t think we have an hour, Cap.” You said smugly. Steve grimaced as everyone rushed for their suits and weapons, the entire place turning into a panic zone.

“They might need me, kid. Can you handle yourself?” Bruce asked, concern twinkling in his eyes. Bruce was one of the first people to welcome you to the compound and he thought of you as a close friend. You gave him a comforting smile.

“I’ll be fine. You go.” With that Bruce ran toward the exit and you could hear the Hulk’s roar not far off. Like most days, the lab was quiet as you worked, pulling up holographic images and surveying everyone’s vitals while they fought. You began to prepare gauzes and ice packs, pulling out antibacterial ointments and everything else you needed before they come back, bloody and bruised.

About half an hour had passed before the storm of boots and shallow breathing came crashing in. Your head snapped up from the screen you were observing and Bucky clutched his side and winced. With all of your patients, you were calm and collected, healing them with quietness. But whenever Bucky came in wounded, your breath caught in your throat and you barely remembered any of your training as your mind prepared for the worst.

You immediately got up and ran over, putting Bucky’s arm around you as you attempted to help him shift his weight onto you. He choked on his words as you interrogated him, asking where it hurt and what had happened.

“It’s-“ His words flew out, but none of them carried any meaning as he tried to catch his breath. He fell against one of the beds, breathing in and out. When he finally spoke, he used a quiet, emotionless tone.

“You need to suit up.”

Your brow furrowed, disagreeing with his words. “No, I’m not. I gave all of that up a while ago and I’m not fighting just because it’s HYDRA-“

“-It’s Alexander Pierce. He’s alive.”

Your mouth shut in disbelief, you’re heart sinking through the floor. The medical tool you were prepared to use on Bucky clattered to the floor as you stood frozen from Bucky’s news. All of the torture and games Alexander Pierce had played with you flooded your mind, even though those memories didn’t hold the haunting terror that they used to.

“He’s looking for me.” Bucky gulped.

“And you.”
