Fangirlingovermarvel: Thank you, I was really trying to capture the best of both those characters in Anne, and I'm glad it came across that way.
Zarthoris: Atlanteans and White Tiger never appeared in the NA movie so that and the AU in the summary allow me to make my own story,but thank you for your feedback, and you will all learn more about Anne soon.
AN: Lots of you keep asking who I will ship, the easy answer is, even I don't fully know. I write with a basic outline of what I want to happen, and the characters develop as it goes; any relationships that happen are because I feel the character development calls for it.
Location: Castle Doom, Latveria
James and Bucky fought their way through the castle until they arrived at the throne room doors. Bucky walks up and tries to open the doors. When that fails, he punches his arm through a hinge, and yanks the door away to reveal Vincent standing, hands charged with some sort of energy.
Bucky locks eyes with Vincent, "YOU! You did this to me. I remember your face."
Vincent ignores him, "So, James, I'm curious. How did you fix him? I really would like to know what I must change once I beat you both."
"The only one getting beat here is you Vincent."
"Maybe, but before that, I've been thinking. Since we are going to fight let's, in honor of our parent's, use our real names, Captain."
"Only if it makes you shut up, Malefactor."
Malefactor smiles under his mask and makes a gesture with one of his charged hands; James' shield then appears on the heroes' arm.
"Now you truly are Captain America. Well, time to die." Malefactor shoots a blast of energy at both James and Bucky, but both blasts are deflected by both shield and metal arm. James charges, and slides right as Malefactor fires another shot and uses his shield to knock his opponent on his back.
Bucky rushes forward and pins Malefactor with his metal arm around his throat. "Give me one reason not to crush your throat, right now."
Malefactor teleports out of the death grip and appears behind the heroes. "Here's one, you don't have me." He begins to make intricate gestures with his hands, and the runes on his armor begin to glow and pulse.
A ring of magical energy opens in front of Malefactor, and a humanoid creature with saggy, grey skin, and a glowing, red slit in the middle of its head.
The creature scans the room for targets before focusing on the two in front of it.
"H-hey, have you seen one of these before?" James stammers out the words.
"Only once. Steve and I fought these during the war. They are called mindless ones"
James readies himself, "Great! So how do we beat him."
"We need to launch him back into the portal." Bucky ducks under the swinging fist of the mindless one, "Then we close the portal it by shutting the other guy up."
Both heroes begin attacking the mindless one together. Bucky throws a flurry of punches while James tries to swipe its legs from underneath it. To the heroes surprise, their attacks do nothing more than irritate their opponent. It grabs Bucky's arm and tosses him into a pillar; he then turns to James and its eye slit begins to glow brighter.
Bringing his shield up to his torso to block the beam, James is pushed back by the sheer force. He pushes back, reflecting and redirecting the blast back at the mindless one. The force of being hit with its own attack causes the creature to fall to its knees and smoke from where it was hit. Taking the opportunity, James runs forward and slams his shield into the creature, launching it back towards the open portal. The mindless one stands back up, but is caught off guard by the shield slamming into it again, this time knocking it back to the dimension it came from.
Knowing he has little time, James throws the shield at the wall. Unable to see behind the still open portal, James can only hear Malefactor hit the ground when the shield hits its mark. The portal closes and there lies Vincent on the ground. James retrieves his shield and rushes over to Bucky.
"Come on, get up. We need to go."
Bucky pushes through the pain he's feeling, as he brings himself to his feet. "Lead the way."
As they make their way out of the castle, James pulls out what appears to be a small transmitter. He presses the button and it begins to blink blue. They push the front doors open and are greeted by a quinjet hovering with the ramp down. A brown-haired man with white streaks and an eyepatch meets them at the base and helps pull Bucky up. "Good to see ya kid."
"Fury, how the hell did you get here so quick?"
Bucky stares at the man incredulously. "Sergeant Fury?"
"It's colonel now, Barnes. I'll explain it all on the flight."
Fury turns to face James. "As for you, did you really think we wouldn't keep tabs on you after the incident in Germany? By the way, I had a team gather your belongings from your room." He hands him a phone, "I think your friends need you."
Fury and the heroes land at a S.H.I.E.L.D base in the Himalayas. Bucky and Fury walk off the jet and continue talking.
"So, this robot, Ultron, killed all the heroes, and took over the world?" Bucky asks.
"He would have, but James and his Avengers killed him before he could make it to the greater Eastern Hemisphere. That's why we are here in this hell hole. This was one of the last S.H.I.E.L.D bases we had."
Back on the quinjet, James listens to the message left by Torunn.
"Azari and Pym have been captured, and we really need you. I need you. Please call me back."
James runs down the ramp and yells, "Fury!'
"I know. You need more help because your friends are captured. I already assigned someone to help you. She will meet you in the command center."
He starts walking down hallways toward the command center, passing men and women in blue/black uniforms who salute him as they walk. Despite being a hero for many years, James still isn't used to the attention he gets from others. The stares and whispers of, "That's Captain America's Son." give him more reminders of the legacy he has to live up to.
He enters the command center, and the room goes silent. All eyes are on James as he walks toward the middle of the room. A man and a woman turn around to face James. The man is middle-age with receding brown hair, sunglasses, and a black three-piece suit. The woman looks to be in her mid-twenties with short black hair, metal gauntlets, and black, leather uniform.
"Hello, James. My name is Phil Coulson, and this is Agent Daisy Johnson AKA 'Quake'. She will be working with you and the Avengers to find Black Panther and Pym."
Quake and James shake hands. "Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, I have an undercover agent in White Gorilla's organization that has been able to narrow potential locations to 3 areas in South America."
"Why would they go to South America?"
"That we don't know, but recently we do have reports of increased terrorist activity in that area."
"Then why aren't we already on our way." James turns around and heads back toward the hanger.
Quake looks at Coulson and sighs, "He's a loose cannon, and so is the rest of his team. Are you sure they can be trusted?"
"The boss thinks so, and anything else is above my paygrade. But on the off chance they can't be trusted we are sending you."
"You want me to go with them? I was just supposed to be their S.H.I.E.L.D support, not a babysitter."
"You are not that much older than them. You'll do fine." Coulson takes his sunglasses off and smiles, "Better go though, you might miss your flight."
Meanwhile, at the hanger, James starts up a quinjet while dialing Torunn's number. The phone rings twice before it's picked up.
"James!? Is that you?"
"Yeah, Torunn, it's me… I got your message, and I reached out to S.H.I.E.L.D. They found that they are most likely in South America. Round up the others and meet me there. I'll be with William."
"Damn it, James, don't act like you can come back like nothing happened, like you didn't leave."
"I found proof that my parents could have been alive; that's not just leaving."
"You still left…wait. Could have been? What happened? What did you find?"
"I-I found my father's old sidekick Bucky. Ultron gave him to Vincent Von Doom, and I was able to save him."
"That's amazing!" Her tone quickly changes back to serious. "Don't think we won't be talking about this when you arrive."
"Looking forward to it." Quake walks onto quinjet and into the cockpict. "Got to go Torunn. Bye."
"James, don't you hang-"
James puts the phone into his pocket and resumes the plane's start-up procedures.
"Ready to leave?" Quake asks as she sits down in the co-pilot seat.
"You coming?"
"Fury's orders. I can help more on the ground then from here."
"If you say so."
Quake sighs at the sarcasm, "Where are we meeting the others?"
"Brazil. We have a friend there who could help."
"Another super?"
"Yeah, William Williams. Great guy, if not a little feral sometimes."
Quake is unable to hide the surprise on her face. "Feral?"
So two more weeks till the next chapter, and lucky for all of you it is about twice the size of this one. Also, I will be posting a poll about who's kid you might like to see appear later in the story. I believe there will be six choices, but if you think of another one you want just pm me.
