Things had been going pretty well. It had been a month since the incident with Graves, and Steve was able to get in contact with Fury to take the kids and keep them safe with the new Shield. You had also started going to therapy, someone Tony had on the payroll, equipped to deal with all things Avenger and supernatural. You talked about the perfect fake life you had while you were in a coma, and how even though you loved Bucky with all your heart, you were still sad that you had left that life behind. You told him that you felt like you were betraying who Bucky was now, for wanting the fake life you left behind.

"It's not wrong for you to feel sad for missing the life you've always wanted Allison." Your therapist told you. He also told you that Bucky loved you and wanted all those things with you. You already knew that of course, but you also knew it would be different, because Bucky was different. There would always be worry for Hydra, and in the coming years, Thanos.

That was another thing you had yet to bring up to the group. You only had your hands on one stone, which was Vision. You knew Dr. Strange was either about to get the time stone or already had it in his possession. The Tesseract was on Asgard for the time being, but you knew Loki would take it when Ragnarok happened. That was three stones you could get to Wakanda for protection.

You probably couldn't stop Thanos from killing Gamora, seeing as how you had no idea on how to get to them. Xandar was where the Power Stone was located, so you probably weren't getting that one either, as well as the Reality Stone, which was on Knowhere, in the Collector's vault. So Thanos would have three and you would have three. Hopefully someone could kill him before he got the rest.

Bucky had started going to therapy too. He told you he wanted to start getting better, and talking about the things that he did, and working through his past memories to make new ones. He said he wanted to do this so that he could start a life with you, away from all this. You cried at that, and he thought it was because you were happy, and you were, but it was also because you knew what was coming, and knew that it would be a long time, if ever, if The Avengers weren't needed anymore. It was helping. His therapy. He seemed calmer, and the nightmares rarely happened anymore, although Bucky told you that was because he slept in your bed every night now.

Heading out to the living room, you were going to call everyone in for a meeting, to tell them about Thanos and what was coming. Steve caught you on the way down there and told you to meet the team in the conference room. Impeccable timing Captain.

You followed him into the room and sat down next to Bucky, lacing your fingers in his. Pietro and Wanda filed in last, and Steve threw some pictures up on the screen that made your stomach drop.

"His name is Crossbones." Steve started. "He and a group of men are planning on stealing a biological weapon from the Infectious Diseases Center in Lagos. We're all going, mission is to stop them from getting it, and if we can't, then we get it back before they can use it or sell it and bring them in for questioning. We're all going on this mission." He said.

"Ally isn't going." Bucky said from next to you. You whipped your head around so fast it should have snapped off. "Excuse me?"

"You did almost die on the last two missions you were on." Sam reasoned. You shot him a dirty look. How dare they tell you that you couldn't go. "Steve, do you think that I can handle this?" You asked him.

"I do."

"Then I'm going. End of discussion. Who shouldn't go however is Bucky." You told them. "Why?" Steve asked. You sighed.

"Because Crossbones is Brock Rumlow. If he sees Bucky, he won't stop until he has him back in Hydra custody, and we can't risk that." Bucky was about to protest, but Steve stopped him.

"She's right Buck. Did this mission happen in your world?" He asked. You nodded your head. "And we better make sure it goes differently this time, or else it's going to end up bad for everyone.

You suited up, came out of the bathroom and saw Bucky sitting on the bed, waiting for you. Walking up to him, he wrapped his arms around your middle, resting his head on your chest. "I don't want you to go without me." You sighed and pulled back to look at him. "Hey, I know how this mission plays out remember? I have to try and change it so nobody gets hurt. I will be okay, I promise. Please trust me." He nodded, pulling you down by your neck to kiss you. "I trust you."

You went straight to the Infectious Diseases center to wait out Rumlow. You saw the garbage truck coming down the street. "Sam, take out the truck, it's a battering ram." He sent out a drone to disable it, but he wasn't fast enough, and it broke through the gates to the center anyway, followed by the yellow trucks you knew had Rumlow's guys in the back. "Take them out, do not let them into the center." You called out, jumping down. Sam took out two up top, Wanda helped take out another, while Pietro took out a fourth.

"Rumlow's on the third floor." Sam told you. Steve instructed Wanda to throw him up into the building, getting the gas out after she did. You raced to the side door, where you knew Rumlow would exit. He opened the door and jumped, not expecting anyone to be there. "Well, well, well, who might you be?" He asked.

"Not someone you want to fuck with." You told him, shoving your knee between his legs. The two agents behind him came at you at the same time, and you shoved ice spears through their chests. Rumlow got back up and grabbed you by the hair, throwing you off the balcony. You skidded across the pavement and rolled over, watching as he grabbed Nat on the top of a truck. He threw her in it, then threw a grenade down the hatch. The door blew open a few seconds later, and you crawled over to Nat, helping her up. "You okay?" You asked her. She nodded.

"They're going to the market. We have to stop them before they get to the airstrip." You told them. You and Nat took off running in the direction of the market, while Wanda and Pietro followed form the other side. You knew you needed to get to Rumlow, you had to stop him from blowing himself up. You needed to save these people.

You reached Rumlow the same time as Steve did. You grabbed his hand, freezing whatever gun he had on there. He elbowed you to the ground and went to attack Steve again. You jumped back and formed a sword in your hand. You went up behind Rumlow and put it to his neck, locking your arms on either side of his head. He threw his head back, knocking you back, before Steve got him, pulling his mask off.

"Who's your buyer?" Steve asked him.

"You know, he knew you. Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky." You stared daggers at him. "He remembered you. I was there, he got all weepy about it. Till they put his brain back in a blender." That's it. You had heard enough. You stood, walking over to Rumlow and stabbing him in the neck. Blood sputtered out of his mouth as you stepped back, unfazed at the chunk of ice sticking out of his neck. He gave a sinister smile and pulled something out with his hand. "No." You whispered. He was going to do it anyway. You went to throw up a shield at the same time he hit the button, a ball of fire erupting from him, only to be contained by Wanda.

"Wanda no!" You called out, but it was too late, and she threw him up into the air, into the building. You watched in horror as the building exploded. You ran in as fast as you could, ignoring please from Steve. He was right behind you though, getting out as many people you could.

Only two people had died, and you were able to heal everyone else. So, better than in your world, but you were still sure Ross would come down hard and the Accords would happen anyway.

A month had passed since Lagos, and everyone was still feeling pretty bad. Nobody really left the compound except for Tony, who had been staying there since his 'break up' with Pepper. Wanda was taking it pretty hard, blaming herself for what happened, and naturally Steve was too, just like he always did. Ross was coming today, and you dreaded going down to that conference room and hearing what he had to say.

At least you wouldn't be chasing after Bucky this time, so maybe Steve and everyone else that decided to help him in the airport wouldn't go to the raft, and Steve and Tony wouldn't have their major falling out. You could stop that at least. Bucky was told to stay in your room, Ross didn't know that he had been living there. He still did a lot of crimes as Winter and they weren't sure if the government was actively looking for him right now.

Watching the videos and hearing Ross talk didn't make it any better than it had watching it in your world. You saw the giant book of Accords being slid over the table, the guilt washing over Wanda's eyes. Ross had the nerve to commend you on saving as many people as you did, but it still didn't change the face that two people died. Two Wakandan people and T'Chaka was angry. You knew how this ended in your world, and you honestly didn't think it would go any differently in this one. You knew who Steve was, and you knew Bucky and Sam would follow him.

He showed the videos of New York, D.C, Sokovia and Lagos. He had a point, a very small one, but a point none the less. The Avengers did destroy cities when they were trying to save it.

"Tell me, do you know where Thor and Dr. Banner are right now?" Ross asked. Nobody said anything, but you could feel Tony and Steve glancing at you. Of course you knew where they were, they were exactly where they needed to be, and there was no way in hell you were telling Ross that.

You sat in the living room on the floor, in between Bucky's legs, while everyone gave their opinions on the Accords. Tony was all for them of course, and you had to stop yourself from rolling your eyes at his reasoning. Vision had made a good point, which you had already thought, and it made sense. Tony coming out into the open as Iron Man made others think they could too, whether they were good or bad.

"Tony," Nat started. "You're being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal."

"It's cause he's already made up his mind." Steve added.

"Boy you know me so well." He deadpanned.

Tony throws up a picture of the boy that died in Sokovia. That's mainly why Tony jumped on the Accords bandwagon. He looked over to you, silently pleading for you to give some insight. "Come on buttercup. You know how this ends don't you." He says. You nod, getting up and walking over to where Tony is standing, leaning against the counter, crossing your arms over your chest.

"I do. It's not pretty. I've already changed some things that hopefully will make this all go a lot smoother. For one, in the movies, we didn't have Bucky back at this point." Bucky's gaze shot up to you, as did Steve's. "One of the big fights in this movie is over Bucky, over something Ross think's he's done, but hasn't. Steve tried to hide him, and Tony is tasked with bringing them both in." You paused, sighing heavily. "If you want my opinion on the Accords, I was never for them, even in my world. The fans were either on Team Iron Man or Team Cap."

"And you were on Team Cap. I have to say, I'm wounded buttercup." Tony said, pouting at you. Rolling your eyes at him, you catch Steve and Bucky smirking at you. "Anyway, Tony and Steve have a massive falling out in the end, almost killing each other over something that has to do with Bucky that you already know about Tony." You said, giving him a knowing glance. He gulps and looks down, remembering the video of his parents.

"I don't understand, why does everyone think Bucky is a bad person?" Wanda asks. You look to Bucky, and he nods, giving you the okay to explain. You pull out your phone and swipe photos and information about Bucky into the room.

"For those of you who don't know, Bucky was captured by Hydra in 1944. They did experiments on him, try to replicate the serum that was given to Steve. They partially succeeded; Bucky's is like a knock off serum." You took a deep breath, trying to keep yourself together while reliving the worst moment of your life. "When Bucky fell from the train almost a year later, Arnim Zola found him. He had lost his arm, but the serum had helped him survive the fall. Zola thought he would be the perfect candidate to be the fist of Hydra."

You turned around, facing away form the group, trying to blink away the tears that were threatening to fall. Tony noticed this and put a hand on your shoulder, stepping in front of you.

"So basically, they started frying his brain." Tony finished, and you wished he used a little more tact. "They turned him into a killing machine, and every time he would start to remember who he used to be or the people he loved, they would wipe him." You turned back around and clicked on one of the videos of Bucky in the chair, telling them his name and who you and Steve were. Glancing around the room, Wanda was near tears, and Nat was giving you a sympathetic look.

Steve couldn't believe what he was seeing, and Bucky refused to look at all. "Once they wiped him, ass they called it, they could make him do anything they wanted with some simple words, which we will not play, because they are still in his head. He turns into the Winter Soldier and is compliant with any mission they gave him. He's responsible with over a dozen murders, including my parents." Tony told them. Everybody's eyes widened. Tony played a silent video of Bucky turning into the Winter Soldier, then played more videos of him being wiped. You had to leave the room when the Bucky in the video started screaming your name.

You made it to the stairwell before you started hyperventilating, failing to hold your tears back. You sat on the stairs, putting your head on your knees, breathing in deep. You felt someone kneel in front of you and pull your arms off your head. It was Bucky. "I'm so sorry doll, I didn't know you saw any of that." He whispered. You wiped at your face. "That wasn't the first time I've seen that Bucky. They showed it in the movies in my world. It made me sick then, and it makes me sick now." You could feel Buckys hands rubbing circles on your legs, trying to calm you down. "When Steve, Nat and I were in D.C, we went over to Jersey to the base where he was trained. Shield had a base there. Zola had put his brain in a computer and showed us all these files about Hydra, what they had done, what you had done. I copied everything I could before Hydra shot a missile at us." Bucky's eyes widened at that; it was something you never told him about.

You heard footsteps and turned to see Steve at the top of the stairs, and you knew what it meant. "She's gone, isn't she?" You asked him. He nodded and sat next to you, and you pulled his hand into yours, and your other one into Bucky's.

"Everything's going to be okay." You told them. It had to be. You would make sure of it.
