In the morning she tracked down Tony in time to patch onto a call from him to the kid which led her to the Staten Island ferry. There were several FBI agents on board and that was enough encouragement to keep Amnesia from joining them. Instead she watched what looked like a weapons trade. Maybe even vibranium weapons which sparked much more of her interest. She pulled up more information with facial recognition before the situation got completely out of hand.
Spider kid was out of his depth, the FBI agents even more so. She grabs her wrist, making sure her kimoyo beads are on and then deploys herself to the ship as it comes apart and Iron Man saves the day. She finds the controls of the ship easily and gets them working enough to get the ship to port. As she heads back to the ship she sends calming electrical pulses through the ship, and they affect enough people to contain the panic. She follows the ship to port and then turns her attention to the kid and billionaire. She flys the jet over to them and deploys herself onto the rooftop several feet away from them, catching the end of their conversation and the kid's eyes.
"I paint your suits pink on a dare only to find out that you sent a fifteen year old into battle," Amnesia snarls when Tony turns and sees her. "You sent him to fight trained killers and continue to do so. Have you lost your damn mind Stark?"
"You shouldn't be here," he tells her, unable to argue because he knows she's right.
"I shouldn't have to be. You should know the line," she thunders pointing into his chest.
"Uhm. Miss Assassin, uh it's not his fault. I did this myself," Peter says and she turns her eyes to him.
"That's a nice looking suit Peter. You must've put years of work into developing the technology in it. No? That's right, he did," Amnesia says her voice more even as she points back at the billionaire. "Now, you seem smart enough, what's the age of enlistment for the United States military?"
Peter looks at Tony wondering what he should do in this situation. Seeing that he's not going to answer, Amnesia continues her tirade. "Seventeen with a parent's permission. What would your aunt say if she found out that the genius billionaire Tony Stark took her nephew to go fight a bunch of war criminals, and is now picking fights with weapons dealers?"
"What am I supposed to do? Let innocent people get hurt?"
"I swear on Steve the sheep," she huffs looking at the sky. Her anger dissipating. She can't stay mad at Tony, not now. He looks too broken on the inside and the kid is irrational.
"You named a sheep Steve?" Tony cuts in and she rolls her eyes not caring enough to respond to that one. If she gives him too much information he might figure it out.
"Toomes. Adrian Toomes. He's been refashioning Chitauri weaponry-mostly Chitauri weaponry to something more usable. He's got others working under him and he won't have a problem killing a fifteen year old, especially if he's associated with the Avengers. Weekends, get him training with Vision," she says much more calmly. "If he's going to keep being stupid might as well get him on the same page as Barton at least."
"Did you seriously come out of hiding just to yell at me?" Tony asks after a moment too long of silence.
"Think of where and when I started Tony. For something like this, of course I would. So if I see you bringing him into some giant battle within the next two years, I will make the Stark name disappear from the face of the Earth."
"Sorry Amn," Tony says and she takes his hand and squeezes it.
"Sorry for the parts I played too. You seeing that therapist I recommended?"
"You recommended her? I thought that was Rhodes playing a joke."
"You need someone to talk to about what happened. You've got a severe case of PTSD and you're not just looking out for yourself anymore. And speaking of Rhodes, how are the legs working out?"
"It'll be a long process but the designs that I assume were from you helped a lot. Your arm is obviously better."
"Mr Stark?" Peter interrupts nervously looking rapidly between the two older people. "Can I go?"
"Not with the suit," he counters.
"I don't have any other clothes," he says and Amnesia raises an eyebrow.
She sets an arm on Tony's shoulder and gives him permission to answer any questions Peter's got as well as giving a silent "I'll meet you back here in ten minutes."
"My name is Amnesia. Be careful kid, you're not invincible. Also, go to the MOMA and see Starry Night for me okay? I'm thinking of adopting it but I don't know if it's too overrated or not," she trails off, shaking Peter's hand and implanting the memory of a car picking her up.
"Don't steal the famous Van Gogh painting," Tony says boredly.
"Why not? I'm already a criminal, might as well be a criminal for an actual crime," she says as they go off. She takes a deep breath after they leave and stares out onto the Brooklyn/Manhattan skyline. She feels the power humming through the building below her and the power grid connecting it to the rest of the island behind her. She narrows her gaze to Brooklyn and recalls what it looked like years ago through her beloved's eyes.
"The world must've been so different back then," she muses aloud sensing Tony's presence on the roof again. "After what happened in Siberia I pictured what my life might have been like if my mother hadn't sold me to Hydra. I wondered what might have happened if she still got rid of me but just dropped me off at an orphanage instead. The tesseract might still be locked away today if it weren't for me. My James, your father, Hell, maybe even Steve. Millions more would've been saved I'd estimate. But here we are."
"Here we are. I'm happy to see you again. You shouldn't have come though. I'm supposed to be arresting you right now," Tony says sitting next to her on the rooftop.
"Yes, you should. But you're still a good man Tony Stark. We've all got our burdens to bare, and sometimes actions are unforgivable. I hope one day you will be able to forgive James, or at least hear his apology. He was friends with your father you know? During the time that Hydra held him though, he was barely even human. It's why Pierce got so far up in the chain of command. He looked like Rogers enough to effectively manipulate James. He wouldn't recognize me, or you, Steve, or even his mother. Sometimes he's able to forget his missions. Not for long enough though. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just...I thought you knew."
"I'm not mad at you. Never was. I just-he killed my Mom. How is everyone?" Tony asks abruptly changing the subject.
"I haven't seen them. I sent Clint back home. I know Wanda went with him, just for a while. Steve said he was going to look for Natasha, Sam went with him. Zemo won, the avengers have disassembled."
"He's paying for it though."
"Maybe he was right to," Amnesia offers with a shrug. "When there is a strong force of good something always rises to challenge it and the avengers are the strongest. Loki brought you together, Ultron kept you together. Perhaps there will be time before the next big global disaster."
"Hopefully not in this lifetime," Tony replies hugging Amnesia, sharing in the grief of their lost family.
"Tony, keep an eye on Clint for me? Try to keep him out of whoever's agenda as long as possible. I told him to move but we both know he won't. And make amends with Pepper. You shouldn't be alone now." She steps back and offers Tony her hand and she explains in his head that he can't know how she leaves when she takes his hand, he nods and she implants a memory of Thor landing and kidnapping her. She really wants to meet him.
She calls her jet to the side of the roof and jumps on as they go their separate ways.
She reaches Wakanda a few minutes after T'Challa, Nakia, and Okoye arrive from from their mission. This alerts her to the presence of one Everett Ross. She immediately follows them to the lab silently asking Okoye what the hell happened for her to respond with an exasperated look that tells her not to ask. So she just follows and listens and helps Shuri when they reach the lab. Once they get Ross stable, she decides to go find her James, not knowing if she can trust Ross to keep her presence in Wakanda a secret.
She reaches the farm as Bucky is finishing up with dinner. James immediately pulls her in close and Amnesia mirrors the action. She breathes easier now that they're back together and follows him into their home as Steve the sheep lets out a long exasperated "baa" because Fitzgerald is being a jerk. She smiles and they settle around the table, James electing to have Amnesia sit on his lap instead of the chair next to him. She fills him in on her trip to New York and mentions that T'Challa brought Everett back with him from a mission to intercept Klaue. He agrees that Ross shouldn't find out she's there as they turn on the record player and start slowly dancing, their food finished and forgotten.
They move in sync around the small house, Bucky twirling her every once in a while. He starts to miss his other arm and how he was able to hold her that much closer to him. But it also reminded him that he had people to watch his back. It reminded him that he had a friend worth dying for and one who would die for him in return too.
"What's wrong?" Amnesia asks quietly seeing the look on his face.
"I'm just thinking about Steve," he says.
"What about him?" She asks with a smile. Most of his Steve memories are good ones.
"I guess I just miss him," he replies with a shrug.
"We can track him down if you'd like?"
"No. No I think I'll be more of a hinderance now. We've got the farm to look after anyways."
"James, you would never be a hinderance. He's your best friend. That hasn't changed," Amnesia tells him.
"But a lot has. I used to protect him. Now...now he doesn't need it."
"No way. He's Steve Rogers. He will always need your help. Who knows maybe he'll try to fight some evil purple space titan with his bare hands," Amnesia says with an eye roll. "Steve will always do stupid stuff that someone will have to pull him out of."
"You're right. The stupid kid is always looking for a fight," he says with exasperation and Amnesia smiles.
When the album finishes, James heads out to finish the chores and Amnesia is about to settle for a nap when they get a notification from Shuri requesting Amnesia's assistance in keeping Ross from touching anything. She frowns knowing there's more to it than that. Shuri loves showing off her lab, especially to outsiders that haven't ever seen anything like it. She must be leaving the lab if she needs assistance, and that's nothing to take lightly if it means leaving an outsider in her lab. T'Challa better not be dying. Bucky gives her a stern look when he sees her head back to her motorcycle already knowing where she's going.
"Shuri is having trouble and I need to help her out. I'll be back before dark hopefully. I'll let you know if something happens."
"I just wish you weren't always in the line of fire doll." He explains meeting her at the bike. "I know," he says tenderly.
"I know," she replies just as passionately. "I'll take a break after this. I need to catch up with Pork and the rest of the girls. We should get some goats."
"I'm never letting you name the animals again."
"I know. But I will anyways, and you'll go along with it," she says once more with an even bigger smile and then she takes off back towards the palace.
