Since I woke up and started looking for Bucky with Sam six months went by. I was called back to the Avengers. We were looking for Loki's scepter which had been taken by HYDRA and finally we were at the last base. Tony flew towards the large building on the outskirts of Sokovia.
"Shit!"Tony cursed over the comm. It almost distracted me and I could've fallen off my motorbike.
"Language! JARVIS, what's the view from upstairs?" I asked.
"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other Hydra base we've taken." The AI replied.
"Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last." Thor added as Nat and I fought off some soldiers as I jumped off my bike throwing it at a truck.
"At long last is lasting a little long, boys." Nat said. Clint was also being heavily attacked and Arrows could only do so much.
"Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise."Clint added.
"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said "language?"Tony asked.
"I know. It just slipped out." I admitted as Tony got into the building Clint was hit and I was knocked down.
"You didn't see that coming printessa?" The enhanced smirked and sped off.
"We have an enhanced in the field. He's a blur." I said. "All the new player's we've faced, I've never seen this. In fact, I still haven't." I admitted.
"Clint's hit pretty bad, guys. We're gonna need evac."Natasha ordered. Thor was with me and nodded.
"I can get Barton to the jet. The sooner we're gone the better. You and Stark secure the scepter." He said.
"Copy that." I replied. Soldiers and a tank began to file at us.
"It looks like they're lining up." Thor observed.
"Well, they're excited. It's not everyday a pretty american girl shows up let alone two." I joked as he smacked mjolnir on my shield creating a shockwave that knocked them all down.
"Find the scepter." Thor asked flying off.
"And for gosh sake, watch your language!"Tony laughed. I sighed.
"That's not going away anytime soon." I said and began approaching the building.
"We're locked down out here." Nat told me.
"Then find Banner, it's time for a lullaby." I slammed open the doors with my shield and began to walk through. I found Strucker cowering in one of his hallways ready to run. " Baron Strucker. Hydra's number one thug." I growled.
"Technically, I'm a thug for SHIELD." He quipped.
"Well then technically you're unemployed. Where's Loki's scepter?"
"Don't worry, I know when I'm beat. You'll mention how I cooperated, I hope."
"I'll put it right under illegal human experimentation. How many are there?" As fast as I got up here I was knocked down seeing the girl in red. "We have a second enhanced. Female. Do not engage." I said over the comm.
"You'll have to be faster than..."Strucker talked way too much so I bashed his head with my shield knocking him unconscious.
"You talk way too much. Guys, I got Strucker." I said.
"Yeah, I got...something bigger." Tony replied over the comm as I joined the others in the jet.
3rd Person POV
As Stevie headed back to the jet Tony went closer to the scepter. There were artifacts everywhere, the giant leviathan from the battle even his old armor that had been ripped away and then as if some sort of cloud went over him he was brought into a vision. His friends, his fellow avengers, they lay in front of him dead, and Stevie, loving stevie the infamous captain america he'd had a crush on as a teen was the first in front of him. He reached down to brush her blonde hair out of her face she grabbed his arm.
"You could've saved us Tony." She gasped out the genius man leapt back after she let go her voice still pounding through his head. "Why didn't you do more?" Her voice echoed.
Meanwhile Pietro and Wanda Maximoff stood smirking as the elder sister had worked her magic on the man of iron. He flew out of the vision the scepter still in front of him. He called to his armor and a gauntlet piece flew over to him.
"We're just gonna let them take it?" Pietro asked as the man they'd protested for so long took the very thing that turned them into who they were.
