Rhodey was mostly healed when Anna and Tony got him in to Nat's SUV. He would be fine in a few hours, there had been a lot of damage to his spine. The ride back to the compound was silent, Anna sitting in the front seat, staring out the window, praying to God that Steve and Bucky were okay.

They got Rhodey settled in his room at the compound, telling him he needed to rest. Anna ventured out on the balcony where he found Tony and Nat.

"You let them go Nat." She heard Tony say from behind her.

"We played this wrong…" She started.

"Boy it must be hard to shake the whole double agent thing huh? It sticks in the DNA."

"Are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?" Nat spat.

Tony noticed Anna had joined them and she went to stand in between them, brushing her hand on Tony's arm.

"T'Challa told Ross what you did, so they're coming for you." He told Nat.

"I'm not the one who needs to watch their back."

"What about me?" Anna whispered. Tony sighed and pulled her to him. Despite everything that had happened, he was glad to have her home. He kissed the top of her head, and she smiled as she wrapped her arms around his middle.

"I managed to convince Ross that you were going to help me bring in Cap and Barnes, and he promised you immunity." Anna stiffened and pulled back, looking up at him. "You did what?"

"I had to tell him something Anna, he wanted to arrest you and take you to The Raft. I told you, I wouldn't let anything happen to you. I mean it." He leaned down, kissing her softly. When he pulled back, there were tears in her eyes.

"Honey what's wrong?" He asked.

"I have to tell you something, and I need you to promise not to freak out, or get angry, okay?" She asked, looking up at him.

"I don't like where this is going."

Anna sighed. "After we got out of the embassy in Berlin, we were waiting on Barnes to wake up, and Steve came up to me and told me that I didn't have to keep following him, that I could stop and go back home. I told him that I was following him because I believed what he was doing was right. He kissed me." Tony stepped back from her.

"He WHAT!" He yelled, "Tony, please don't get angry… there's more."

"More! God Anna! Did you sleep with him!"

"No! I swear I didn't!" Anna said, tears falling down her face. Tony calmed down and took a deep breath. "Then what else happened."

Anna closed her eyes and regained her composure. "When I was changing my clothes, I noticed something on my leg. I looked down and I saw this." She tugged her pants down on her left side, showing just enough of the vine on her hip that Tony knew what it was. It was blue, and it was staring him in the face.

"That's not possible." He choked out. Why did that Star Spangled ass have to take something else away from him?

"I don't know why it happened, and I promise I'm going to research the hell out of it, but Steve is my soulmate too."

"No." Tony whimpered. "You were mine."

Anna stepped to him, taking his face in her hands, wiping the tears falling from his eyes. "And I'm still yours. I'm not going anywhere Tony." She lifted her sleeve to show him his mark. "See? It's still there. I'm still yours. I love you Tony." He rested his forehead on hers. "He's waited so long to be happy Tony, he deserves this, just like you do, take it easy on him okay?"

"I don't want to share you with anyone, let alone the Capsicle." Anna chuckled. "Tony, don't be selfish. There's plenty of me to go around." She said smiling up at him. He placed a soft kiss on her lips, pulling away when is watch started beeping. It was a picture of the doctor what was supposed to examining Bucky, dead in a hotel room.

"I told you." Anna deadpanned.

They reached the raft by night fall, meeting Ross when the exited the chopper.

"So? You got the files? Let's reroute the satellite, start facial scanning for this Zemo guy."

Ross smirked. "You seriously think I'm going to listen to you after that fiasco in Lepizig? You're lucky you're not in one of these cells. Both of you." He said sternly, looking at Anna, He led them into a control room, where they could see all the cells. Anna's eyes welled up. She felt so guilty, they were in there and she had gotten to go home with Tony like nothing happened.

They walked into the cell area and Anna ran up to Wanda's cell. "Wanda?" She said. The young girl looked over to her with red rimmed eyes. "I'm so sorry Wanda."

She heard clapping and turned to see Clint standing in his cell. "The Futurist gentlemen! The Futurist is here! With his little trophy wife! He sees all, he knows what's best for you." Anna hung her head. She had never meant for any of this to happen. She watched Tony walk over to him.

Anna walked over to Sam's cell. "Have you heard from them?" He asked her. "No, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing."

"He'll be okay, he's smart, and he's got Barnes to watch his six."

"Yeah." Anna smiled. She felt Tony walk up to them. "How's Rhodes?" Sam asked.

"He'll be okay, full recovery. Anna got to him in time." Sam let out a sigh.

"What do you need. They feed you yet?" Tony asked him.

"Oh, you a good cop now?"

"Im just the guy who needs to know where Steve went.

"Well, you better go get a bad cop, cause you're gonna have to go Mark Fuhram on my ass to get information out of me."

"Well, I just knocked the A out of their AV. We got about 30 seconds before they realize it's not their equipment." Tony said. He pulled up the image of the doctor and told him that he was the one who was supposed to interrogate Bucky. "Clearly I made a mistake. Sam I was wrong."

"That's a first."

"Cap is definitely off the reservation, but he's about to need all the help he can get."

Sam sighed and looked to Anna. "Cap didn't tell you where he was going?" Tony glanced over at Anna and she shook her head. "I knew they were going to Siberia, I don't know exactly where."

The chopper lifted into the sky, and Tony turned to Anna. "Ready to fly?" He asked. She tilted her head. "What do you mean?"

He nodded down to two holes in the console. "Remember the suit I was working on? The one we fought over? It's yours Anna. I wanted you to be safe, although, I realize that you don't really need protection. But at least it come in handy now." He said, beaming at her. She smiled softly at him. Now she felt like an ass. 'Thank you Tony."

"So, ready?" He asked as they both hovered their fingers over the console.

"Ready." Anna pushed her finger down and a suit enveloped her, pulling her through the back of the chopper and out into the sky. She freaked out for a second, then realized it was flying itself, following Tony.

"Hello Ms. Porter, how are you liking your suit?" Friday asked.

"It's definitely something I'll have to get used to but I like it."

They landed next to the Quinjet, Anna breathing out a sigh of relief that they had made it. Now they had to hope they were alive. She followed Tony into the building, pointing in the direction she could hear footsteps. Tony opened a big door and she almost cried out when she saw Steve and Bucky standing on some stairs. Steve walked towards them a little apprehensive.

"You seem a little defensive.

"It's been a long day. You make another suit for Rhodey?" Steve asked. Anna retraced the suit, and it all formed into a bar on her wrist. She watched as Steve's face softened and he lowered his shield. "Anna." He said, stepping forward. Anna closed the distance and threw her arms around him. She realized he was shaking. She pulled back and looked up at him. "Hey, hey it's okay, I'm alright. I'm here." She smiled.

Tony watched the interaction and felt a pang of jealousy. Anna had asked him not to be, but he couldn't help it. He had waited for so long to find her and now she wasn't just his anymore, she was Steve's too. He looked past them and noticed Barnes still had his gun trained on them. "At ease soldier, I'm not currently after you."

"Then why are you here?" Steve said, looking down at Anna. She pulled from his grasp and looked over at Tony.

"Could be your story's not so crazy. Ross has no idea we're here, I'd like to keep it that way. Otherwise I gotta arrest myself, Anna too."

"Well, that sounds like a lot of paperwork." Steve said. Anna chuckled as Tony scoffed. "It's good to see you Tony."

"You too Cap." Tony noticed that Bucky still had his gun raised. "Hey, Manchurian Candidate, you're killing me, there's a truce here, you can drop." Steve motioned for him to lower his gun and he did, looking very confused. They ventured into the facility, coming up to a big room.

"I got heat signatures." Tony said.

"How many?"

"Uh, one." Wait a minute, there were 5 more soldiers. They entered the room and the lights went up, showing the 5 cryo freeze units that housed the soldiers. Anna didn't detect any heartbeats. Zemo's voice came over an intercom. "If it's any comfort, they died in their sleep. Did you really think I wanted more of you?"

"I'm grateful to them though." He continued. "They brought you here." More lights came on and they could see Zemo's face behind the glass. Steve threw his shield at it, but it did nothing.

"You killed innocent people in Vienna just to bring us here?" Steve asked. Anna got a sick feeling in her stomach, something very bad was about to happen.

After talking to Steve about the people that he had lost, he turned on a monitor, Anna followed Tony over to it. It was a video of a road. "I know that road." Tony said, "What is this?"

A car came into the frame and crashed into a tree. Anna could feel Tony's heart rate speed up, and she put a hand on his arm. The car ignited in flames and the motorcycle that passed came back into view. They watched as the man got off the bike. Anna knew what this was, this was the day Tony's parents died, he had told her about it. She turned her head to look at Bucky, his head hung low. He made eye contact with her and she knew that it was him in the video.

Her hand flew to cover her mouth, tears falling from her eyes and The Winter Soldier beat Howard in the face until he wasn't moving anymore. The soldier walked to the other side of the car where Tony's mother was, killing her. He walked back around to the camera and held up his gun toward it, pulling the trigger.

"Oh my god." Anna whispered, turning to Tony. There was nothing but rage on his face and she knew what was about to happen. "Tony…"

Tony started for Bucky but Steve stopped him. Tony turned around. "Did you know?"

"I didn't know it was him." Anna snapped her head in Steve's direction.

"Don't bullshit me Rogers, did you know!"

"Yeah."

In an instant Tony's faceplate was on and he hurled Steve across the room. Bucky raised his gun, but Tony shot at it, catching Bucky's metal arm as he swung. Tony slammed him into the ground and Anna ran over, trying to pull Tony off him. Even with her strength, his suit was strong. Steve's shield clipped him in the back of the head. Tony flew them up, and the cryo freeze units started falling, Anna jumped out of the way, but a beam had fallen on her leg. She cried out and Bucky lifted it off of her, pulling her to his feet.

"She saw Tony getting up and looked over to Steve. "Go! Get out of here! Anna go with him."

Bucky and Anna took off, barely missing a beam from Tony's suit, before they started climbing to the opening in the top. He had reached where the ledge they were on and Anna put herself between Bucky and Tony. "Tony stop!" She cried.

"My mother Anna! That was my mother!" Tony yelled at her. Tears filled her eyes, she knew what it was like to want revenge on someone.

"I know Tony, I know, But it wasn't his fault. This isn't the way." Tony landed in front of her. "Move Anna. I'm only telling you once." Tony wouldn't hurt her, she knew that much. She was about to step to the side when Steve's shield hit Tony in the back, knocking him down a few levels. Anna turned to Bucky. "Go!" She growled.

The lid of the facility exploded and closed on them, knocking Bucky and Anna down, Anna hitting her head, Tony grabbed Bucky and put him in a chokehold as she slowly got up.

"Do you even remember them?"

"I remember all of them."

Bucky threw them both off the ledge, Steve grabbing hold, and they all fell down to the bottom. Anna ran as fast as she could, helping Steve up, when Tony pulled himself up on the ledge.

"Please stop this. This isn't the way."

Anna get out of the way now!" Tony screamed.

"No."

Tony paused for a minute then blasted the both of them, Anna flew to the right and her head connected with a pillar, knocking her out. When she came to, the first thing she saw was Bucky, unconscious, and without most of his metal arm. She grunted as she pulled herself over to him. He still had a heart beat. "Bucky." She whispered. He wasn't getting up. She wiped the blood off the side of her head and struggled to stand. Tony was on the ground and Steve was slamming his shield into his chest repeatedly. She walked over and pulled Steve off of Tony standing over him, catching Steve's shield with her hand and throwing it. "That's enough!" She growled, her face changing.

"Anna." Tony began. She flipped her face around to him. "I said enough."

"Anna he's not gonna stop until Bucky is dead, you know he won't." Anna closed her eyes and looked down, tears falling. She knew what she had to do, and she hated herself for it. But it was the only way to protect all of them. She looked back up at Steve through her tears and the sight of her face broke his heart. She was in the middle of this because she had followed him. She was torn in between him and Tony.

"I know." She whispered. She leaned in and kissed Steve softly, only for a few seconds, and pulled away, looking him in the eyes. She was full on sobbing now. "You're going to take Bucky, and you're going to get out of here. You're going to take him somewhere safe. Go, now." She choked out. Steve backed away and went straight to Bucky to help him up, and they both disappeared behind a wall. She knew the compulsion wouldn't last long, but she hoped it was long enough for them to get out of there.

She whimpered and fell to the ground, staring at the floor. She had promised Steve. She had promised him she wouldn't compel him ever again. She felt a tug on her hand and turned to Tony.

"You compleled him didn't you." She nodded and looked over his injuries. He needed help. She bit into her wrist and held it out to him. He hesitated before taking it. He drank for a few minutes and let go, and Anna immediately got up and walked outside, sitting in the snow. She pulled her legs up to her chest and laid her head on them.

"Friday?" She called. "Yes Ms. Porter?"

"Can you send a jet for us please?"

"Yes ma'am, it will be there within the hour." The AI told her.

She let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding and started sobbing again. How had everything gone so wrong? She felt Tony sit next to her, but she couldn't even look at him. She had let them go, she had taken Steve's side this whole time.

"I promised him I would never compel him again." She said softly.

"I know." Tony said. "He'll understand when he snaps out of it." Anna turned to look at him.

"Are you mad at me for letting them go?" She asked him. He could see the pain in her eyes, that she was torn between them, and he had been mad yeah, but seeing her like this, and seeing her break down when she sent him away, all his anger melted away. He put a hand on her face, having taken off his suit before he sat down.

"No, baby. I'm not mad. I love you, come here." He said, pulling her into his lap. He held her as she cried, running one hand through her hair, the other up and down her back, waiting for the jet to come.
