I walked into the meeting room to see Tony on the phone with what appeared to be Secretary Ross.

"Consequences? You'll bet there'll be consequences. Obviously you can quote me on that because I just said it. Anything else? Thank you, sir. "He said hanging up and looking at me. "Oh that was just Secretary Ross, he wants both you and Sam prosecuted. I had to give him something."

"I'm not getting that shield back am I Tony?" I asked.

"Technically it's the government's property now. The wings too." Nat snipped back.

"That's cold." Sam added.

"Warmer than jail!" Tony shouted leaving the room. Sam sat down somewhere and I sat holding Bucky's tags in my hands. I looked up at the screen to see him in that awful glass cell. I was focused only on that until I heard the voice behind me. "Hey, you want to see something cool?" It was Tony so I nodded. "I pulled something from dad's archives. Well, timely." He handed me a set of fountain pens. "FDR signed the Land-Lease bills with these in 1941. Provided support to the allies when they needed most."I smirked.

"Someone said it brought our country closer to war." I replied.

"See if not for these, you wouldn't be here. I'm trying to, what do you call it? a... an olive branch." He replied sitting down.

"Is that what you call it? Is Pepper here? I didn't see her."

"We're still taking a break. It's nobody's fault."

"I'm so sorry, Tony. I didn't know."

"Few years ago, I almost lost her, so I trashed all my suits. Then, we had to muck up Hydra. And then Ultron, my fault. And then, and then, and then. I never stopped. Cause the truth is I don't wanna stop. I don't want to lose her. I thought maybe the Accords can split the difference. In her defense, I'm her handful. Yet, dad was a pain in the ass, but he and mom always made it work." He said standing up. I stood up too.

"You know, I'm glad Howard got married. I only knew him when he was young and single and flirty."

"Oh really? You two know each other? He never mentioned that. Maybe only a thousand times. Made it hard not to have a crush on you."

"I don't mean to make things difficult." I defended.

"I know. Because you're a very polite person."He replied.

"If I see a situation pointed south, I can't ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could."

"No, you don't."

"Okay, no, I don't. Sometimes..."

"Sometimes I don't know whether to kiss you or kick your ass. But I don't wanna see you gone. We need you, Stevie. So before other things happen that can't be undone, please... sign. We can make the last 24 hours legit. Barnes gets transferred to an American psych center instead of a Wakanda prison." I looked up at him a smile on my face.

"You would do that for me?" I asked.

"I know how much he means to you and I'm not saying it's impossible."

"But there would have to be safeguards." I argued.

"Sure. Once we put out the PR fire, these documents can be amended. I filed a motion to have you and the twins reinstated."

"The twins what do the twins have to do with any of this?" I asked the pen now in my hand instead of Buck's dog tags.

"They're fine. They're confined in a compound currently. Vision's keeping them company." He replied and I grew angry.

"Oh God, Tony! Every time. Every time I think you're seeing things the right way..."

"What? It's a 100 acres with a lap pool. It's got a screening room. There's worse ways to protect people."

"Protection? Is that how you see this? This is protection? It's internment, Tony."

"They're not US Citizens."

"Oh, come on, Tony."

"and they don't grant visas to Weapons of Mass Destruction."

"They're kids! They have powers they can't control, Wanda more than Pietro because of what your weapons did to their family! I got to know them. They're like siblings to me and you've trapped them both because you're afraid of Wanda's power!" I shouted.

"GIVE ME A BREAK! I'm doing what has to be done ...to save us something worse."

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that." I looked at the paperwork again and the pen ."I'd hate to break up the set." I said putting the pen back and left the room to join the room Sam sat in. I rubbed the indentations in the dog tags as I watched the camera screen. Tears threatened to fall.

"Hello, Mr. Barnes. I've been sent by the United Nations to evaluate you. Do you mind if I sit?" The doctor sat down. "Your first name is James?" I saw Aaron walk in

"The receipt for your gear."He said and handed a paper to Sam.

"Bird costume? Come on." Sam groaned.

"I didn't write it." I looked at Aaron who looked at me sadly and then the screen blew up so I could see Bucky clearly.'Thank you' I mouthed and he nodded. I sat down and began to watch the feed.

"I'm not here to judge you. I just want to ask you a few questions. Do you know where you are, James?" Bucky remained silent. "I can't help you if you don't talk to me, James."

"My name is Bucky."He groaned and a tear slipped from my eye. I quickly wiped it away before anyone could see. And then I looked at that picture the task force put out.

"Why would the task force release this photo to begin with?" I asked Aaron.

"Get the word out, involve as many eyes as we can?"He replied.

"Right. It's a good way to flush a guy out of hiding. Set off a bomb, get your picture taken. You've got 7 million people looking for the Winter soldier."

"You're saying someone framed him to find him."

"Stevie, we looked for the guy for 2 years and found nothing."

"We didn't bomb the UN. That turns a lot of heads."

"So? That doesn't guarantee that whoever framed him would get him a guarantees that we would." Aaron said and realized his words.

"Yeah." I replied and then the power went out. I looked at Aaron.

"Sub level 5 east wing." He said and I nodded. Sam and I rna in that direction stopping when we saw the dead guards. And then I saw the doctor.

"Help someone please help me!" He cried out and I lifted him up by the shirt collar.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!" I exclaimed.

"To see an empire fall." He said and then Bucky came storming in hitting Sam before coming after me. I fought him not holding back and then he slammed in into the elevator the doors bending and then I fell into the shaft. It hurt like hell that was for certain. But as soon as I caught my breath I climbed up the shaft and towards the roof. I saw Bucky in the helicopter that was up there. Running towards it he stuck his metal hand out and wrapped it around my throat.

"Bucky...please..." I groaned out before fighting to get loose. The helicopter so I pulled it back knocking the blades into the building and nearly losing my head in the process. The helicopter went into the water and I groaned. I wasn't going to lose him again so I dove into the river. Swimming down I pulled him from the helicopter and brought him up to the edge. I performed CPR and made sure to get the water out of his lungs and get him breathing again. He was back but I needed to get him out of here. With Sam's help we found a getaway car and made it to an abandoned warehouse. I placed Bucky's metal arm into a press. Now I just waited for him to wake up and prayed that my Bucky was back again.
