Steve was on a jet with T'Challa and Bucky when he snapped out of the compulsion. He stood quickly and went to Bucky, who was sitting on the floor, staring at the ground.

"Buck?" He called out. Bucky looked up at him and Steve looked over at his arm, or what was left of it.

"You finally snapped out of it? What the hell happened to you back there? You just backed away, all dazed, grabbed me and we ran."

Steve sighed and sat down next to him. "Anna has this power. It's called compulsion. She can tell you anything in the world, and you'll do it, no questions asked. On a human, it would last forever, but for us, it only lasts about 30 minutes. She did it not long after we met and promised me, she wouldn't do it again."

"Then why did she?" Bucky asked.

"She thought it was the only way to get us to stop fighting." Steve paused. "Oh God, Tony blasted her out of the way. I left her with Tony, and he blasted her!" He said frantically. She had made him leave, and that left her with Tony, who was very unstable at the moment.

"Do you really think he'd hurt her?"

"No Buck, I don't, but I know how she must be feeling right now. Guilty that she compelled me, sad I'm gone, upset that Tony shot her and alone because her entire team is either on the run or locked away. This is all my fault." Steve said, putting his head in his hands. He felt Bucky's hand on his shoulder.

"Hey punk, this isn't your fault. If anything, it's mine. You came out to save me, you fought your team to save me, you fought Tony, to save me. She followed you because she wanted to, because she believes in you Steve, they all do, that's why they had your back." Bucky told him.

Steve smiled. "There's the Bucky I know."

"He's in there somewhere." Bucky said with a smirk.

Steve leaned his head against the wall, his hand going to his leg, where his mark was, wondering when he was going to see her again.

The ride back to the tower was quiet. Anna sat shotgun next to Tony as he flew them home. She was thinking about Steve, and if he could forgive her for compelling him. It was all she could think of to make them stop. Tony wasn't going to stop until Bucky was dead, and he wasn't a match for the super soldiers, so there was a chance Tony wouldn't have made it. Maybe Steve could forgive her, if she ever saw him again.

"You shot me." Anna said quietly. Tony's head snapped in her direction. He wasn't even sure she had said anything, it was so soft. "What?" He asked.

"You shot me." She said a little louder, her voice cracking. "You shot me, and you told me you wouldn't hurt me or let anything happen to me. You fucking shot me Tony."

Tony hung his head. "I know. I'm so sorry. I wasn't even thinking clearly, all I saw was red. I wanted revenge against Barnes, and I didn't care about how I got there." He knelt beside her, turning her chair, putting his hands on her knees. "Anna I'm so sorry baby. I never meant to hurt you; I promise." She felt her heart pull when she saw the tears streaming down his face. He buried his head in her lap and she could hear him whispering 'I'm sorry' repeatedly. She sighed and started running her fingers through his hair, watching as the jet landed at the tower.

When she finally got to shower, it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She took that back, the blood she had drank after the shower was the best thing. That first night back, she hadn't really slept Tony had woken up twice during the night crying, and she had to hold him until he fell back asleep. He was dreaming about his parents dying, watching The Winter Soldier do it without any emotion. It was haunting even for her to watch, she couldn't imagine what Tony was going through, only she could, she had felt that way when she had found her family, she had nightmares for weeks after.

She slid out of bed and went in the closet to change. She opted for some leggings and a baggy sweater, she was gonna go visit Jules, and tell her everything that had happened. She mostly just needed some space. Space from Tony, the Avengers, all of it.

She mixed her blood into her coffee cup and headed into the elevator, notifying Friday to wake Tony up in a couple hours, so he could get some rest.

Jules practically tackled her when she entered the apartment. "Hey Jules, I missed you too." Anna told her, laughing. They went over to the kitchen island and sat down. Anna told her everything. Everything about Bucky, Steve kissing her, the soulmark, the fight, and her sending Steve away. By the end, Anna was a blubbering mess, and Jules had broken out her best bottle of bourbon.

"Jules, it's only 2 in the afternoon." Anna said laughing. Jules shrugged her shoulders. "It's 5 o clock somewhere dude."

An entire bottle of bourbon and 2 bottles of wine later, mostly drank by Anna.

Anna definitely shouldn't have drank. Now she felt even guiltier about what she had done to Steve, and she missed him.

"What did I do Jules! I broke my promise and I sent him away, and now he's on the run and who knows when or if I'll see him again!" Anna cried. Jules took the wine bottle away from her and scooted closer to her on the couch. "Look Anna, I know you. I've known you for over ten years. You don't make decisions lightly, and you always weigh out all your options. You wouldn't have done that to Steve if you didn't think it was the last option." Steve was crazy about you from the beginning, and it makes sense now why. Everything is going to be okay; I promise. You'll see him again."

Anna looked up at her with red rimed eyes. "How do you know?"

"Because, a guy like that? Knowing he's your soulmate? He'd do anything to get back to you." Anna smiled and pulled Jules in for a hug. "Come on let's get you back to Tony." Jules said, hauling Anna off the couch and driving her home.

Tony was waiting at the elevator when it opened, watching as a very drunk Anna stumbled into the penthouse. God how much did she drink? He thought. Jules read his expression and gave him a look. "Almost a whole bottle of bourbon, a big one, and 2 bottles of wine. She's yours now Stark." Jules said laughing, the elevator door closing behind her.

Tony heard a giggle and looked down to see Anna smiling up at him. "Hey handsome." She said. Tony shook his head and picked her up bridal style, carrying her to the bedroom. He sat her down on he bed and started to take her shoes off. He stopped when he heard a sniff and looked up to see her eyes filled with tears. "Honey what's wrong?"

She paused before speaking. "Am I a horrible person?" She asked him. "Why would you say that?"

"Because I hurt Steve. He's probably so angry with me, what if he never wants to see me again?" She said, tears streaming down her face. Tony knew that this was just the alcohol, but it broke his heart to see her like this. He sat on his knees in front of her and took her hands in his.

"Listen to me, I've known Cap for a long time now. He's kind of like you in the way where he overthinks things. I know that he won't be mad at you, plus you're his soulmate, of course he's going to want to see you." She nodded and look up from her lap at him.

"I'm still mad at you for blasting me." She said, squinting her eyes. He chuckled and smirked at her. "I know, and I'm sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?"

She got a mischievous look in her eyes as she started to scoot back on the bed, opening her legs. "I can think of a few ways."

A/N: So tell me what you guys thing so far!
