“Hello?” You put the phone on speaker as you answered it.
“I got a hit.” Sam informed you. You looked towards Bucky who had just put both your bags down by the couch.
“What is it?” You asked.
“Karli’s in New York. I think they’re gonna hit the GRC meeting.”
“Makes sense.” Bucky tilted his head, pressing his lips into a thin line.
“Right. We’ll suit up and meet you there?” You moved toward your bag to get your things.
“With these new wings, I may even beat you.” You could practically hear Sam’s smirk through the phone. You hung up and immediately started to change.
By the time you were kitted up and ready to go, the news had announced the GRC meeting had gone into a complete lockdown.
“Guess Sam was right.” You switched off the tv and picked up your final knife.
To get you down to the building quickly, you hijacked a motorbike. When you arrived there were swarms of news anchors and cops.
You dismounted the bike and headed to the front of the crowds.
“I’m almost there.” Sam’s voice came through on your coms.
“What’s the plan?” Bucky asked as he walked beside you.
“Karli’s gotta be close. Keep your eyes open.” Sam ordered. Your eyes began to search the surrounding areas.
“Well, it could be anybody.” Bucky mumbled. He was right. Karli had a huge following, she didn’t even need to be here but you were praying she would be.
“And by the way, I called in some backup.” Sam informed you both.
Then, at that moment, a stranger approached the both of you.
“Excuse me, sir. Are you supposed to be here?” The man asked before reaching to his face and removing the illusion mask. “It’s me.” Sharon was revealed underneath.
“Sharon, what the hell are you doing here?” You asked, looking around to see if anyone had been watching.
“Relax. No one’s looking for me here.” Sharon assured you both.
“Is that Sharon?” Sam had recognised her voice over the coms.
“Unfortunately.” Bucky retorted.
“Hey, Sam. I thought I’d get the band back together.” Sharon made herself known to him.
“Thank you. You’re risking a lot coming here.” Sam thanked her.
“I hear pardons aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.” Sharon tried making light of her being back whilst still being a fugitive.
“Depends on the therapist.” Bucky proclaimed. You ignored the comment as you continued to survey the scene.
“They’ll move on the building soon. Be ready.” Sam warned you as he grew closer. And he was right. Within the building, gas was let off which set off a panic. The building had to be evacuated.
“(Y/n), Bucky, what’s going on on your end?” Sam had entered the building through the window where the hostages were being ushered towards the stairs.
“Nothing. All quiet.” Bucky told Sam.
“No one’s moving toward the building.” You added as you patrolled alongside Sharon and Bucky.
“Karli’s not coming in. She’s trying to force everybody out.” Sam had realised Karli’s plan. You looked between Bucky and Sharon. Time for you to go in. yourselves.
“You guys are gonna have to do something.” Sam’s voice came through as you entered the doors. “Don’t let ’em out of the building.”
“Oops.” Sharon said after realising you just let out several people.
“There’s one of em.” Bucky pointed across the building to an impressively large guard. “I’ll get the evac.”
“I’m with Bucky.” You followed Bucky towards the stairwell.
As you were just around to reach the stairs, a woman came forward with a phone.
“Mr. Barnes, it’s Karli.” She handed the phone over to Bucky.
“I’ll go.” You let him take the call and continued to pursue the hostages.
You reached the underground parking lot in time to see the hostages being loaded up into police trucks.
You knew you couldn’t take on all the guards at once and you’d only cause a panic with the hostages, forcing them to run off in different directions and you weren’t even sure which guards were Karli’s and which were the GRCs.
You clocked the large guard from before that Sharon was meant to have gone after. He was applying some sort of lock onto the back of the trucks.
As the final guards climbed into the trucks, you took your shot. You silently ran up behind the large man and forced yourself up onto his back, your hands grabbing onto the guards face. He cried out as he threw you off but the connection was just enough to use your powers.
You fell to the floor, his memories tunnelling through your head like a bullet. He sent his boot into your stomach several times before leaving you. The trucks had already driven away and you remained on the floor so he didn’t bother with killing you.
You searched his memories for Karli’s plan.
“Sam.” You wheezed. “I know what Karli is planning to do.”
“What? How?” Sam responded through your ear piece, sounding concerned.
“She used her powers.” Sharon piped up. You looked around the garage to see her hiding behind a large concrete pillar with her eyes on the guard.
“I’m sending you the coordinates for their rendezvous now.” You typed over the coordinates on your arm pad.
Bucky finally made it down to you and helped you from the floor.
“You can’t fight anymore. You gotta sit this one out.” Bucky told you as the look of exhaustion was obvious on your face.
“Shut up and get moving.” You weren’t having any of it. You moved towards the bikes and Bucky climbed on in front.
You pulled out a small syringe from the inside of your jacket and Bucky cocked an eyebrow at it.
“In case of emergencies, right?” You stabbed the syringe into your thigh and injected the serum. It was a serum that Bruce Banner had worked on with you for these dire times. It gave you enough energy after using your powers to allow you to fight again. There were only a handful of them and the come down afterwards was worse than anything you had experienced but it kept you in the game when you needed it most.
Bucky set off on route to the hostages.
You gripped onto him tightly as he sped through the alleys and roads.
“You better speed things up, Sam. The choppers about to take off.” You heard Sharon warn Sam.
“Bucky?” Sam called out through the coms.
“I don’t fly, man. That’s your thing.” Bucky wasn’t going to be any help now that he was almost at the rendezvous point anyway.
You spotted the trucks up ahead along with large concrete road blocks.
“Drop me here.” You told Bucky as you were far enough away for them to not have seen you yet. Bucky did as he was told before speeding off ahead.
You ran down the sidewalk to keep yourself hidden. The flag smashers should be too busy dealing with Bucky to realise you were going after the trucks.
You reached one of the trucks only to find it the locks were impenetrable. It then didn’t take long for one of the super soldiers to find you. You ducked as she sent her fist towards you. You pulled out your knives, one in each hand, and began to attack.
Suddenly, a fire rose beside the truck.
“Bucky!” You shouted out as you fought. You knew only he could open those doors with his strength and his arm.
The soldier managed to get a grip on your shoulder and tossed you across the street like a pillow. You groaned as your body collided with the concrete.
“Morgenthau!” You recognised the voice as it cried out Karli’s name. It was Walker.
You pushed yourself to your feet and ran back over to the fight. Bucky was desperately trying to open the doors to the truck and John had started to attack Karli.
You lunged forward as John hit the floor, surrounded by the soldiers.
One broke away to fight you.
You growled and grunted as you brought forth all the power you had in you to fight the soldier.
Bucky had saved the hostages inside the burning truck and had come through to help John also.
You grew distracted when you witnessed Bucky falling into the building site.
The soldier took advantages of your loss of focus and managed to put you to the floor with a solid punch to the side of your head.
You vision went spotted and blurred and your head pounded as you lulled on the ground. You were unsure of how long you were lying there when you felt someone take your arm and drag you along the concrete towards one of the trucks.
Karli pulled the drivers door open and shoved you into the passenger seat before climbing in herself. She reached across you and crushed the handle so you couldn’t get out.
Your vision began to clear just as Karli threw herself from the vehicle.
The truck crashed through the gates and down onto the scaffolding. You clung onto the seat as you leant back to stop the truck from moving any further forward.
“Stay calm!” You snapped at the screaming hostages but the truth was you weren’t feeling calm yourself.
You could see Bucky beneath you.
It was one high drop.
You wouldn’t survive this fall. Not sitting in the front. Not at this height with the weight of this machinery.
“Fuck.” You cussed under your breath as your heart thudded against your chest. Bucky could see you inside and he felt his whole body tremble.
You locked your eyes with his. You didn’t want to go. You only just got him back.
Suddenly, the truck shifted again but this time it was being dragged backwards. You glanced to the side view mirror to see John trying to save you.
You couldn’t help but gasp when the flag smashers tore him away from the truck. They all tumbled down to the pit. You squeezed your eyes shut as the truck rolled forward again.
You were thrown forward onto the glass of the windshield when the truck abruptly stopped.
You opened your eyes to see that Sam had finally made it.
“Cutting it a little close, aren’t we?” You let out a shaky laugh as relief washed over you.
Sam managed to get the truck up safely. You escaped through the drivers door and embraced him.
“Looking good.” You smiled at the suit. Sam only winked before taking you down to Karli.
He threw the shield, hitting each flag smasher as he put you down.
“You of all people bought into that bullshit?” Karli looked beyond betrayed at Sam’s new look.
“I’m trying something different. Maybe you should do the same.” Sam retorted.
Just as you went to step forward, smoke bombs were sent down on top of you. It gave Karli the chance to get away.
Fortunately, Sam could use his goggles to track them.
“Hey, Sharon. We’re underground. We entered the tunnel on William. Heading south.” Sam informed Sharon on your position as you all made your way through the tunnel. “Looks like they split up. Here.” Sam stopped at an intersection.
John took off without a word. Bucky looked back at you and Sam.
“I got it.” He sighed before following.
“I’ll head this way. Don’t hesitate to call if you need me.” You broke off in the opposite way to Bucky and John whilst Sam went up ahead. You kept your guard up as you silently made your way around the place. It was like a maze and you had kept running into dead ends.
You cussed as you wished you had the app for the flag smashers in order to receive any news. It was the only way them and you would know the new meet up point.
“(Y/n), we found Karli’s team.” Bucky sent you the location. You hesitated to follow as a bad feeling began to seep into you. “(Y/n)?” Bucky questioned if you could hear him.
“On my way.” You replied, ultimately deciding to join back with Bucky, ignoring your instinct.
When you reached Bucky and Walker, the soldiers had been apprehended.
“Good job, boys.” You congratulated them. “Sam? Any news?” You asked over the coms.
“I’ve got Karli. She didn’t make it.” Sam’s news made your stomach drop.
Karli didn’t make it. She didn’t make it.
“Hey, come here.” Bucky pulled you into his chest after he saw your face drain of colour. All that was playing through your head was the girl’s memories of Karli. Karli playing with the children, her smile, her laughter, her passion.
You forced them from your mind as you made your way to the surface. Ambulances, cop cars and the press had all moved location from the GRC meeting to there.
Your eyes followed everyone’s gaze as Sam came into view.
He flew down to the ground with Karli’s body in his arms.
You felt Bucky slide his fingers down your wrist and take your hand, squeezing it tightly.
When Sam’s feet touched the ground he was ambushed with questions from reporters. He approached the senators without answering any of them.
He was thanked by them before he asked about the relocating plans.
“Our peacekeeping troops will begin relocating people soon.” He was told.
“The terrorists only set us back a bit––”
“––Stop calling them terrorists.” Sam interrupted
“What else would we call them?” They questioned.
“Your peacekeeping troops carrying weapons are forcing millions of people into settlements around the world, right? What do you think those people are gonna call you? These labels, “terrorists,” “refugee,” “thug,” they’re often used to get around the question, why?” Sam started,
“Those settlements that happened five years ago, do you think it is fair for governments to have to support them?” They argued against him.
“Yes.” Sam spoke honestly.
"And the people who reappeared only to find someone else living in their family home, they just end up homeless? Look, I get it. But you have no idea how complicated this situation is.” They tried to put Sam down but Sam wasn’t walking away.
“You know what? You’re right. And that’s a good thing. We finally have a common struggle now. Think about that. For once, all the people who’ve been begging, and I mean, literally begging for you to feel how hard any given day is… Now you know. How did it feel to be helpless? Now if you could remember what it was like to be helpless and face a force so powerful it could erase half the planet, you would know that you’re about to have the exact same impact. This isn’t about easy decisions, Senator.”
“You don’t understand.” They grumbled.
“I’m a Black man carrying the stars and stripes. What don’t I understand? Every time I pick this thing up, I know there are millions of people who are gonna hate me for it. Even now, here… I feel it. The stares, the judgment. And there’s nothin’ I can do to change it. Yet, I’m still here. No super serum, no blond hair, or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better. We can’t demand that people step up if we don’t meet them halfway. Look, you control the banks. Shit, you can move borders! You can knock down a forest with an email, you can feed a million people with a phone call. But the question is, who’s in the room when you make those decisions? Hmm? Is it the people you’re gonna impact? Or is it just more people like you?” Sam paused. “I mean, this girl died trying to stop you, and no one has stopped for one second to ask why. You’ve gotta do better, Senator. You’ve gotta step up. Because if you don’t, the next Karli will. And you don’t wanna see 2.0. People believed in her cause so much that they helped her defy the strongest governments in the world. Why do you think that is? Look, you people have just as much power as an insane god or a misguided teenager. The question you have to ask yourself is, ‘How are you going to use it’?”
You smiled widely at Sam as he finished, walking away. He really was Captain America.
“Sorry, I was, uh, I was texting and so, all I heard was, um, a Black guy in stars and stripes.” Bucky teased the man as he approached you.
You wrapped your arm around Sam, half embracing him as Bucky patted him on the back.
“Nice job, Cap.” Bucky smiled.
“Thanks.” Sam took the compliment.
“Sharon?” You smile dropped when you spotted Sharon trying to perform her own medical procedures beside a car.
“Your blocking my light.” Sharon hissed as she fiddled with her wounds.
“We gotta get you to a hospital.” Sam frowned at the state of her.
“She’s not gonna listen.” Bucky stated flatly.
“It’s not the worst thing that’s happened to me all week.” Sharon admitted, avoiding the mention of the hospital.
“Told you.” Bucky quipped.
“Uh, Cap?” A man came forward, interrupting for a moment.
“I think he’s talking to you.” Sharon turned her face away to not risk getting recognised. “Look, I’m sorry for how things ended down there. For what it’s worth, suit looks good on you.”
“Thanks.” Sam chuckled.
“All right, look, can we get out of here, please?” Bucky ushered Sharon to move.
“I didn’t forget my promise.” Sam turned to remind Sharon of his promise to get her a pardon before he left.
You decided to take Sharon back to the apartment and fix her up there. You had enough supplies and the experience to do an adequate job of it.
“What now? Back to Madripoor?” You asked Sharon as you cup open her top.
“Seems like it.” She winced as she spoke.
“Sam will get you that pardon. You might as well stick around.” Bucky returned to your side with a bowl of water and a cloth.
You worked in silence for a few minutes before Sharon realised something. She had been watching Bucky watch you.
“You finally slept together, didn’t you?” Sharon smirked as it hit her.
“Oh my god.” You groaned, rolling your head back.
“I mean I knew something was different...” Sharon’s smart mouth was quickly shut as you pressed into her wound.
“I’ll get us something to drink.” Bucky excused himself as he felt a blush creep up his neck.
“Bout time.” Sharon murmured but it was the last she mentioned it after the glare you shot her.
Sharon didn’t stick around after you stitched her up. You understood why but you were still hesitant to let her leave.
As she did, you started to really feel the come down effects of the serum.
“Hey. Hey.” Bucky caught you as you began to sway on your feet. He sat you down on his coach and placed his hand on your head. “You’re burning up.”
“It’s the serum.” You reminded him. It had been a long time since you used it last.
Sweat covered down your forehead and soaked your clothes. Your body ached, it felt like it was on fire, and your head was hammering.
Bucky helped you remove your clothes before wrapping a thin blanket around you. He fetched a cloth to rest on your forehead as you laid back.
His face twisted into a grimace as you began to scream and whine, writhing in front of him.
And there was nothing he could do but watch.
The pain of the serum leaving your body was excruciating. Bucky brought over the bin as you had flimsily pointed to it. You curled over the side of the couch and threw up.
Bucky brushed your hair away from your face with his hand and held it behind your head.
“I forget how bad this got.” Bucky confessed as you choked.
The rest of the night was spent like that until you eventually fell asleep against Bucky’s bare chests whilst he held you. The coldness of his metal arm was refreshing against your burning skin.
In the morning, you woke to the news that the captured super soldiers had been blown up on their way to the raft.
It was announced there were no suspects but both you and Bucky knew exactly who was responsible.
Zemo.
“There’s somethings I gotta do today.” Bucky told you as he brushed his lips against your hair.
“You want me to come with you?” You asked. You were weak but you were better after suffering through the night.
“No. It’s something I gotta do it on my own.” Bucky intertwined his fingers with yours as you rested against him.
“Okay.” You nodded. “But I’m here if you need me.”
“I know.” Bucky kissed the back of your hand before pushing himself off the couch. “Now let’s get you in the shower because you stink.”
You laughed as Bucky helped you up.
Bucky told you in the bathroom about his neighbour. He offered for you to see the memories you had missed since you last used your powers on him but you didn’t want to be informed on every thought/memory he had during the time you were away.
He told you what his plans were. It had been a long time since he had been this open.
You spent the rest of the morning cleaning yourself and then the apartment. Bucky helped before you finally encouraged him to get on with his day.
He didn’t return until late.
He walked through the door and you could see his hands were shaking still.
You didn’t say anything. You just hugged him.
The days went by and soon enough you were being called by Sam again.
He had invited you for a little celebration down at the dock. So, you travelled back down to Louisiana and back into Sam’s home town.
The children instantly went for Bucky as you both arrived. You laughed as he chased after them with a cake in his hands.
“Where is everybody?” Bucky asked them.
Sam and Sarah embraced the both of you warmly and an overwhelming sense of love flooded around you.
Pictures were being taken with Sam, the food was amazing, the beer was cold and it was a beautiful evening.
You were stood against one of the wooden pillars, watching Bucky speak with Sarah, a couple kids dangling on his arm. You smiled and took a swig from your bottle.
“Don’t get soppy on me now.” Sam joined you, sipping on his own beer.
“Me? Soppy?” You scoffed, shaking your head.
Sam rolled his eyes as he draped his arm over your shoulders. You leant into his embrace.
“I visited the memorial for Isaiah in the museum.” You confessed.
“Yeah?” Sam cocked his eyebrow at you with a smile.
“It’s a great thing you’ve done for that man.” You praised him. “I’m proud of you, Captain America.”
Sam clutched his heart with his hand dramatically.
“My god!” He proclaimed.
“Shut up.” You nudged him with your hip. You both laughed before making your way down the dock to watch the sunset.
Bucky joined you.
It felt good to be there. It felt like home.
AN: To be continued?? I’ll probably leave this fic here for now but I may continue it on in the future.
