Chapter One

Hey guys! So, I've decided to start up a new story. Don't worry though, just because I'm writing this does not mean I've abandoned We Could Be Heroes. I just need to get past the road bump I've encountered while writing that fic. Anyways, this is an Avengers fic and since I'm a sucker for Bucky Barnes this will be a Bucky fic. I really hope you guys like it so far C:

It had been a long day at the shop and by the time Addilyn had arrived at her apartment it was ten at night and she was ready to pass out. She haphazardly pulled her clothes off before stepping into the hot shower that she started for herself. The water soothed her sore muscles and cleared her head. Watching the black, dirty water swirl down the drain she couldn't hold back the giant yawn. What she could really use was twenty-four hours of uninterrupted sleep. She honestly can't remember the last time she had gotten to sleep in past seven.

Ever since she had graduated NYU at twenty-one she has been a hot commodity. If she wasn't working in the mechanic shop her best friends bother owned then she was back at NYU in the lab that the Dean had allowed her to use to continue her work. She rarely had time for herself these days. It's been three years since her graduation and in those three years she's probably been on one date. And it wasn't even her idea, her best friend Piper had set her up on a blind date. Sadly, to say, it really didn't end well.

Addilyn pulled herself out of the scalding water after scrubbing her skin clean of any grease or dirt and wrapped her petite form in a dingy and stiff towel. Great. She really needed to do laundry. That would have to wait, she really needed some shut eye. She closed her curtains, blocking out the sunlight then crawled into her bed. The cold sheets were enough to put her to sleep in seconds.

'Ring Ring'

A shrill ringing was heard from Addilyn's living room. She had every intention of covering her face with her comforter and ignoring her phone. When it finally stopped, she sighed in relief and tried to fall back to sleep. Her peace and quiet was short lived when her cell started to ring again from its place in her bag. Waiting for it to stop again, she cursed when it continued to ring.

"Who the hell? Whoever is calling me had better have a damn good excuse for waking me up." The tiny woman spoke out loud to the annoying phone. She quickly fished around her bag to find her phone and without checking the caller ID she slid her finger across the screen to answer the call.

"Hello?" Her voice was laced with exhaustion and irritation.

"Addi? Did I wake you?" A familiar voice spoke from the other end.

"Bruce? What's wrong? Did something happen? Do I need to come bust someone skull open?" She spouted off at the mouth quickly. While she was the younger of the two she was the more violent type. Don't get it twisted though, Addilyn prided herself on her kindness towards others. She absolutely hated mean people and since her uncle had, anger issues, she had been the one to act on her feelings instead of him.

"I'm fine Addilyn, everything's fine. I have a favor to ask you. I was won-" He's abruptly cut off when it sounds like his phone is removed from his grip. She cocks an eyebrow when another familiar, slightly irritating voice fills her ears.

"Hello, my wonderfully gifted and intelligent Addilyn Banner. Its Tony." He spoke, she could practically see the cockiness displayed across his face.

"Yes Tony, I know it's you. You are depriving me of some much-needed sleep and its making me angry. Can you please put someone on the phone that I can actually tolerate now?" Her question was brushed off and ignored completely when he continued to speak.

"Look Addi. We need you to take some time off and come to Wakanda." He said, not even beating around the bush. That's a first.

"What? Wakanda? You of all people should know I can't take time off. I have an apartment and bills to pay for Tony. I also have a project I'm in the middle of. I'm sorry but I can't." She sighed in exasperation while running her fingers through her tangled waves.

"Sorry sweet cheeks but his royal highness has requested your presence personally. He needs your brains and skills for what he's trying to do. I'm not going to get into detail over the phone. So, hurry up and back your bags, Steve will be there to pick you up in a couple hours. See you soon." He didn't really leave her with much room to interject.

"Wait! Tony! Tony?" Her yells were met with a dial tone. Asshole hung up on her.

"Damn Stark. He's going to pay for waking me up and thinking he can boss me around." She paced around her living room. She didn't have any choice but to go, especially since Steve was already on his way. Now all she needed to do was come up with a believable story to tell her colleagues and boss.

It had taken her the whole three hours to grab a decent amount of clothes; she had no idea how long she would be away. She also took the time she was given to run to NYU and grab her tools as well as tell her coworkers and the Dean that she was having a family emergency and her uncle really needed her. Seeing as her name was Banner and she had attended NYU, just about everyone knew that Bruce Banner was her uncle, others just knew him as a world-famous scientist as well as the Hulk. She liked to keep to herself instead of 'riding her uncles coat tails' as some people liked to say.

She called Piper's brother, Jason and told him the same story she told her colleagues. He sent her off with good prayers and wishes for the best. She played it off like she appreciated the gesture before heading back home. She didn't want to leave Steve standing on her doorstep as she ran around collecting her things. Addilyn had just sat down on her couch with a cup of coffee when she heard a knock on her door. Raising her wrist to check her watch it read, 1:30 in the morning.

Biting back a groan she unlatched the security chain and flipped the deadbolt before opening the door. Standing just outside her door, taking up almost the entire frame stood Steve Rogers. When his blue eyes land on her face he smiles. It's been a while since she's seen Steve.

"Hi Steve. Here come in." She said and stepped aside, giving him room to enter her small apartment. When he was standing in the center of her living room she closed the door behind her. She leaned on the closed door and sipped on the only thing keeping her awake.

"Hey Addilyn. It's been a, while hasn't it?" He broke the silence and he gathered her small frame up in his arms. She laughed into his chest and returned the hug. Pulling away she walked into her kitchen and dumped her remaining coffee down the drain. Placing the mug in the dishwasher she looked up and fixed the super solider with a questioning look.

"So? Did Tony say you needed to bring me right away or can I take my time?" She asked. Even though she knew the answer she figured she would ask anyways. He picked up her overstuffed duffel and flung it over his shoulder like weighted nothing. His gaze took on a more serious tone.

"I'm sorry Addi, we don't really have time for pleasantries. Tony is really impatient and was pretty adamant that I get you to Wakanda as fast as possible." He said. She could hear the apologetic tone behind his words. This was not the best way to reunite with a friend she hasn't seen since S.H.E.I.L.D. fell apart.

"Alrighty well, let's get going then. Wouldn't want to keep princess Stark waiting any longer." She joked, earning a chuckle from the blonde. The only positive was knowing that she could sleep on the three-hour flight to Wakanda.
