You Hung The Moon

Chapter 1

It had been three months since the fight between the Avengers which the public called the Avengers Civil War between Captain America and Iron Man over the Sokovian Accords. Things had changed since. Clint had decided to go with Steve, Wanda, Scott and Sam to Wakanda in order to protect Bucky from Thaddeus Ross and his men along with the government. Bucky was currently in cyrostasis until the Wakanda scientists found a cure to get rid of the trigger words which had been placed in his mind to control the Winter Soldier.

"Any luck with finding a cure, for Bucky?" Sharon asked softly as Steve spoke to her on his black IPhone that Sam and Clint had shown him how to use it.

"T'Challa's scientists say they may have found a way to get rid of the trigger words but it involves magic. Wanda can do it but it requires another witch." Steve admitted worriedly.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while before Sharon spoke with determination. "I know someone who might want to help us, Steve. Just give me a few hours and I'll get back to you," she promised softly.

Steve smiled as he looked down to where Sharon's name was written on his left wrist in italics. "Be careful, doll." Steve whispered quietly.

"I will. And you be careful as well. Try not to get into trouble this time alright?" Sharon teased, making Steve laugh, before she hung up. Locking the phone, he put it back into his jean pocket and went to visit Bucky.

Sharon put her phone away and arranged a flight to New Orleans. An old friend might be able to help her as she phoned said friend who immediately picked up.

"What's up, Sharon?" a French Creole accented voice asked, making Sharon smile.

"I need your help, Elise."

Elise raised an eyebrow despite the fact that Sharon couldn't see her. "What did you break now?" she deadpanned.

"I didn't break anything!" Sharon protested. "I need your help. And you are the only one I trust with this. It's to do with Steve."

Elise immediately perked up at the mention of Sharon's soulmate – she knew it was serious when Sharon asked for help involving Steve. "What happened? Are you okay? Where are you now?"

"Relax, we're both fine. I'm on my way to yours to explain everything," Sharon quickly answered. "Is that okay though? I understand, after everything that has happened, if you don't want to work with me."

"Sharon, you're scaring me now. Of course I'll help you. We're like sisters. Why wouldn't I help you?"

"Because...Ok, please don't kill me Elise but I found your soulmate and he needs your help," Sharon said quickly, bracing herself for the explosion that was sure to be coming.

Silence was all that Sharon heard for the next ten minutes before Elise finally sighed although there was with a skeptical tone in her voice when she spoke again. "Witches like me don't have soulmates, Sharon. Remember?" she replied bitterly as she remembered the rules and laws that the witches of New Orleans and Louisiana had in place.

"Well you're wrong about that, Elle. Your soulmate really needs your help. HYDRA messed up his mind and you're the only one, along with one of Steve's teammates, who can help us," Sharon explained urgently making Elise sigh again.

Well, she couldn't keep on hiding her powers from the world now that the human population was already aware of Inhumans and Enhanced. It wouldn't be long before they were alerted to the revelation that people who had been born with powers were real too.

"Alright, I'll help but what does his words even say? Are they the exact words that are on my stomach and is my name even there on his arm?" Elise asked wearily.

Sharon laughed. "Yes it is, Ellie and he's in Wakanda undergoing treatment for the mind control that HYDRA did to him," Sharon explained quickly and Elise was quiet.

She had a soulmate. How was that even possible? It couldn't be; that went against everything she had been taught over the years. How could it have changed so suddenly? "Why me?" Elise finally asked.

Sharon was quiet for a moment. "Because Wanda needs your help to do it. Someone who is actually trained since a child in the ways of magic. And I trust you. And Steve trusts me to find the best person to help."

Elise bit her lip. "You're coming here, aren't you?" she asked, letting out a humourless laugh.

"You can read me like a book, Elise. Yes. Is that okay?"

"That's fine, Sharon. Just let me pack some stuff and one of my grimoires then I'll meet you," Elise reassured calmly, making Sharon sigh in relief.

"Thank you, Elise," Sharon said gratefully.

Elise laughed. She couldn't believe that she had a soulmate and that he was the infamous Bucky Barnes. Fate certainly had a strange way of making jokes.

By the time Sharon had arrived at the house, Elise had made sure that Sabine would take care of the animals and the house while she was away in Wakanda. Suddenly she stopped moving as a memory hit her; she remembered the dreams of the mysterious, dark haired, blue-eyed young man with the metal left arm with the red Soviet star painted on it. That had been her soulmate.

Sharon appeared beside her, a worried, concerned look on her face. "Elise, are you okay?" she asked, placing a hand on her shoulder and squeezing gently. "Elise?"

"I dreamed about him," Elise whispered, turning to look at her friend. "I dreamed about him when I was younger."

Sharon smiled sadly at her. "Before….?"

Elise slowly nodded, gulping soundly. Neither of them said anything and Sharon held her hand tightly in a show of comfort. Elise smiled at her gratefully as she tried not to think about the death of her mother and how she had started dreaming of her soulmate at the age of sixteen-years-old. Sharon had been born the same year as Elise. Due to the powers that Elise possessed, SHIELD had considered placing her on the Index but she had never been put on the list. Sharon also knew that Elise could defend herself; she wasn't a damsel in distress and she could take care of herself without assistance from anyone.

"So what have you been up to since I last saw you, Sharon?" Elise asked curiously as they started walking to the quinjet that was outside the house.

"Well aside from being fired from the CIA and Fury hiring me as a member of the Avengers. And Tony Stark hunting down any Avenger who hasn't signed the accords. As well Natasha Romanoff abandoning her Alpha for some reason that no one is aware of at the moment, not even said Alpha," Sharon said dryly, "Nothing much

Elise looked stunned at what the blonde had just said. "You're on the run? From the CIA of all people?! Jesus Christ, Sharon, why didn't you tell me?!" Elise exclaimed, surprised that Sharon hadn't called her for help.

"Because they were watching you and I didn't want you to be compromised... Home Secretary Thaddeus Ross is...very interested in what you can do and your soulmate bond with Bucky," Sharon said grimly as they began flying to Wakanda as they connected to Steve and the others.

Steve's face appeared on the screen and Elise smiled. "Well hello there, Captain Rogers," she greeted. "Your mate has been telling me a lot of interesting things."

"I didn't break anything," he defended, making everyone in the room with him to look at him with knowing facial expressions.

"Just the bed and the coffee table," Sharon commented drily, making Elise and Sam snicker at the blush on Steve's face.

"That was one time," he muttered with a shake of his head.

"You're Elise Deveraux," Clint interrupted from his place at the back of the room where he and Wanda were seated. "A witch SHIELD was interested in but Director Carter stopped them from listing you before she got Alzheimer's."

"And you're Natasha Romanoff's Alpha," she replied. "She spoke highly of you." The mention of the red-haired Omega made everyone tense in the room, to which both Sharon and Elise noticed. "I met her before. And I have a feeling Anthony Stark hasn't mentioned anything either."

"What do you mean?" Steve asked, frowning when Clint refused to say anything.

Elise looked over at Sharon who was looking confused at her. Sighing, she pulled up a news feed on the quinjet and let it play.

'The US Government has issued a new warrant for the arrest of Natasha Romanoff. She has been marked as a terrorist and an associate of disgraced Captain Steven Rogers. Any information about any of the former members of the US based vigilante group known as the Avengers are asked to contact any Federal agency.'

When the news anchor moved to the next piece of information, Elise looked back at the screen. "Natasha left Stark's side after your fight in Berlin. She's been on the run since."

"She let me and Bucky go," Steve added, making everyone turn to him. "She could've stopped us. But she stopped T'Challa instead."

"Sharon said you can help Wanda with Bucky's treatment," Clint commented, changing the subject with the air of confusion about his feelings.

"That I can do. I've read the files and it seems that HYDRA would wipe his mind after every mission they sent him on for the last seventy years since HYDRA captured him. However, he fought back on numerous occasions especially when he was sent to assassinate Howard Stark in 1991 to collect the super soldier serum that Howard had made. James had tried to stop from harming the Starks," Elise commented quietly as she remembered the files Sharon had given her.

Steve looked pained at the thought of his best friend being tortured and being treated like a caged animal. Elise felt sympathetic towards him but something was bothering her. How could Natasha leave her soulmate? How could she fight against him in the war against the Sokovian Accords, betraying him and her friends for being controlled by the government? It didn't make any sense.

"His mind is under mind controlled trigger words. However, I can get rid of them along with Wanda... but there is something I need you all to know before I perform the ritual," Elise said grimly.

"What is it?" Steve asked curiously as Wanda looked intrigued.

Elise looked slightly uncomfortable but decided to say it anyway as she looked at them. "He might turn feral and if he recognises me as his Omega. Then he might try and claim me," Elise warned and everyone fell silent.

"This is gonna be awkward, I can tell," Scott commented dryly.

They reached Wakanda after spending six hours in the air. They landed at the Wakanda International Airport and were greeted by T'Challa himself and his sister, Shuri. They were taken into a room and Elise could already sense that her Alpha was awake and alert to her presence in the palace. Specifically near his quarters.

"I better go see him first," Steve stated before leaving.

Once the Captain had left, T'Challa sighed as he turned to face Clint. "We found Agent Romanov. However, I believe you need to see her as... Well, I highly doubt she'll tell you and you have a right to know as you are her Alpha," T'Challa stated, his voice full of pain before he exhaled.

Clint looked worried at the King's words. "What's going on? Is Nat ok?" Clint asked quickly, his mind running a million miles a minute.

"She's having your child... And is quite insistent that she has an abortion to terminate the child. She had attempted to terminate it herself but... we found her before she could go through with it."

Clint looked like he was going to kill someone. More than likely Natasha.

"She is not herself," Elise stated, making Clint, T'Challa and Sharon turn to look at her. "She's afraid. Of a lot of things. She thinks you don't want her anymore. And she wants to punish herself."

"How can you tell that?" Clint asked, his voice a low growl.

"Because I can feel people's emotions, similar to Wanda. I just have a larger radar. Natasha's afraid. Her hormones are over-riding logical thought. And increasing all of her fears. She needs you, Clint. And you need her too." Elise sighed as she felt the pain from the hurt Alpha in front of her. "She's afraid she's lost you."

Clint took a deep breath before turning to T'Challa. "Where is she?"

"Medical quarters," the King answered.

Clint turned swiftly and took off towards the medical area. Sharon and Elise shared a look before chasing after the Alpha, wanting to make sure this didn't turn into a shouting match. They arrived just in time to find Clint standing in the doorway of Natasha's room. The red-head in question looked awful. She had lost weight, her face shallow and paler than usual. Dark circles obvious beneath her dull, once bright, green eyes. The sight of her made Clint pause, breathing heavily as he took her appearance for the first time in three months.

Natasha looked away from where she had been staring out the window, her breath hitching at the sight of her Alpha. She curled in on herself, shrinking into the pillows behind her. Her Omega side whimpered at the hurt and angered scent of her mate as he slowly made his way over to the bed. As he sat on the bed, Natasha flinched when he raised a hand out to brush along her face.

Elise and Sharon watched Clint frown before he moved and pulled Natasha into his arms, wrapping her up in the blankets and keeping her pressed against his chest. She tried to push away from him but the Omega inside her welcomed the feel of her Alpha holding her after three months of separation. Clint took a deep breath as he pushed his anger to the back of his mind, letting his feral side take over and care for his mate.

"I'm sorry," she whispered in Russian, her voice hoarse from disuse. "Don't hate me. I'm sorry."

Clint lifted his head and caught Elise's eye. Using her powers, she spoke to his mind, 'Fear and hormones, Clint. She thought that no fighting was the best chance to keep you safe. She didn't know she was pregnant when she chose Stark's side."

'That's not an excuse. She stood by and let Ross and his men put a shock collar on Wanda. Don't tell me that she didn't know about the Raft,' Clint warned.

'Clint, she didn't. She was cut off from information after she let Steve and Bucky go. She left and sent the layout of the Raft to Steve before she went off grid,' Elise informed him from the information Sharon had given her. 'You two still have a lot to work out. Just don't give up.'

'That's going to take time,' Clint replied coldly despite the fact that his body was slowly rocking Natasha's, a natural reaction to her pain and having her back in her arms.

Elise bowed her head sadly. Yes, Natasha had made the wrong choice of siding with Tony. Elise only hoped that it didn't destroy her relationship with Clint or her unborn baby. But the witch could already tell there was something else going on inside of Natasha's head. Something that would take a while for anyone to figure out.

Sharon caught her attention. "We should go," the blonde whispered.

Elise nodded; she had another pressing job to do…

Elise had been shown to the room where Bucky was awaiting her. Wanda gave her a reassuring look and squeezed her hand as the young strawberry blonde-haired woman looked at her as they stood outside the room.

"He'll know you, just say the words," Wanda whispered softly before they both entered the room. The others kept watch although Natasha felt that they were behaving recklessly by relying on magic of all things. Clint had brought her with him, refusing to let her out of his watchful eyes and the red-head did as he requested, not wanting to hurt him further.

"We're going to go into his mind and cleanse it of the HYDRA brainwashing and trigger words. He might become agitated so we're gonna light these sage incense candles," Elise explained softly. Wanda nodded and they started getting out the candles.

The smell of sage wafted through the air and Elise saw her soulmate stir slightly. She let her eyes linger on his form as Wanda finished lighting the candles. He was completely shirtless and she could see how well defined he was with his shirt off. Scars littered his body, particularly where his metal arm met his shoulder. She frowned at the sight, hating that fact that her mate had been tortured and experimented on.

Wanda stepped up beside her. "What next?" the brunette asked quietly, watching James carefully.

Elise could feel the emotions of everyone outside the room. The fear, doubts, concern, and pain of everyone out there. But there was hope too. And that hope meant that Wanda and herself at least had a chance to help him.

Enjoy and review. Happy New Year everyone :)
