Bucky was waiting for you when the jet arrived back at the compound. He pulled you into a hug, then checked you over for injuries, swatting your hands away when you tried to stop him. He knew you would have just healed yourself anyway, but you let him check you over to please him. It was cute, you thought, how he was so worried about you all the time.

"Bucky, I want you to meet Prince T'Challa of Wakanda. T'Challa, this is Bucky Barnes. The man that was framed for the bombing in Vienna." T'Challa stuck his hand out and Bucky took it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Barnes. I'm sorry you got pulled into this."

Bucky snorted. "It wouldn't be the first time, probably not the last." T'Challa smiled and followed you inside. The team was waiting in the living room, with the exception of Thor of course, and Bruce. Tony and Steve both gave you a hug when you entered, and you gave introductions to T'Challa.

"So, buttercup, what's the sitch? What's the big bad this time?" Tony asked, sitting down on the couch. You stood facing the room, taking a deep breath. Where could you even start?

"Okay. So, there is a Titan. His name is Thanos. He was the one behind Loki's mind control. Basically, the whole reason the battle of New York happened." Tony's jaw dropped as did Steve's. "He's literally insane. He's looking for these things called the Infinity Stones. There are 6. I currently know where all of them are at the moment. He cannot be allowed to get all six stones." You told them.

"What happens if he does?" Nat asked.

"He can and will use them to wipe out fifty percent of all living creatures." You said softly.

"I'm sorry. What?" You looked over at Sam. Who looked like someone just slapped him with a shoe. "What do you mean, wipe out fifty percent of all creatures?"

"Like how I said it." You told him. "In my world, he gets all the stones and uses the Infinity Gauntlet. He snaps his fingers and half the world just vanishes. Into dust."

"Do we all make it?" Wanda asks. You close your eyes and shake your head, holding back tears. "No. You don't all make it. Five years go by, and a plan comes along to go back in time to get the stones again before Thanos does and bring everyone back. It works, and you defeat Thanos, but with great cost to the team." You feel a hand on your shoulder, and you open your eyes to see Tony standing next to you. You can't stop the tears from falling then, knowing what happened to him and the sacrifice he made, you crumple into his arms, sobbing like a child.

"I'm so sorry Ally. I'm sorry you know all of this. It's such a burden." He tells you, soothing you with a hand up and down your back. Your sobs quieted and you pulled away from him. "I'm okay now Tony. Thank you." He smiled and stood behind you, leaning against the counter.

"Tell us who doesn't make it." Nat says. You shake your head, lip trembling. "Please don't ask me to do that Nat. It was bad enough watching it happen the first time. I was literally sobbing in the theatre. It was fucking embarrassing." You half laughed, but it was true. You were devastated by Nat, Tony and Steve's endings, mostly Tony's. It blew the wind right out of you. The last thing you expected.

"I'm not going to let it happen. I can change everything. We can beat Thanos before he gets all the stones." You told them.

"What do you need from me?" It was T'Challa that spoke. You turned to him and smiled. "Your sister is the one that can remove the trigger words from Bucky's head, to stop him from becoming the Winter Soldier ever again." You told him. Your eyes met Bucky's and he had a look of such hope on his face that all you wanted to do was kiss him senseless.

"She can also separate Vision from his stone, and then Wanda can destroy it."

"Vision can live without the stone?" Wanda asked. You nodded, smiling at her. You knew how badly she wanted just a normal life with him, and you were desperate to give it to her.

"Of the six stones, Thanos can get his hands on three of them. They are on different galaxies, and as I don't know how to get ahold of the Guardians to warn them, we're really just out of luck with them."

"Who are the Guardians?" Tony asks you. You laugh, thinking about the interactions Tony had with them. "They call themselves The Guardians of the Galaxy. They're basically the Avengers in space. They're pretty cool. You called them plucky Tony, and they didn't like it." You could head Tony laugh behind you.

"So anywho. Loki should have stolen The Tesseract back from Asgard by now, and hopefully they are on their way here with all the remaining Asgardians, which by the way Tony, we need to find a community or something for them to live on, because Asgard will have been destroyed." You turned to Tony and his mouth was hanging open. You shrugged and turned back around.

"Then there's Vision's stone, and the Time Stone is being kept safe by Dr. Stephen Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. He lives on Bleeker Street in the Sanctum Santorum." You told them.

"Is he a wizard?" Steve asked. "Uh, sort of? He's pretty badass. I don't know much about him as the rest of you, but he is wicked smart and knows his shit, so we should listen to anything he has to say, speaking of, Friday, could you get me directions to the Sanctum Santorum and send Dr. Strange a message that Tony and I need to speak with him please?" You asked the AI.

"Of course, Allison."

So, if we can get our three stones into Wakanda for safe keeping, or to destroy them, whatever we decide, then maybe, just maybe, we can kill Thanos before he kills all of us trying to get them, because really I don't want to relive all of that. It sucked enough the first time."

As if the timing couldn't be any better, you heard a loud rumble outside, and everyone ran to find a giant ship landing on the grass. Tony was going to be pissed about lawn maintence again. You knew that ship. You smiled, running over to it as the door opened, revealing Thor, hair short and missing an eye, but a grin on his face when he saw you. "Lady Allison!" He said, picking you up and spinning you in the air. He set you down and put his arms around your shoulders.

"Did it happen? I'm assuming Asgard's gone since you're all here." You told him. He pulled back and nodded, looking behind him at all the Asgardians on the ship. You saw Bruce come out and ran to him as well. "I missed you, you green meanie."

He chuckled. "Is that what you're calling me now?" You shrugged. "It's catchy." You looked behind him to see Loki and Valkyrie. You raised an eyebrow at Loki. "So, are you on our team now?" He nodded, slowly coming up to you and wrapping his arms around you. And damn if you weren't with Bucky, you'd definitely be swooning over Loki. Hell, you kind of already were. "Thank you." He whispered, pulling back from you.

"For what?" Loki jerked his head behind him and you saw Frigga Odinson step out of the ship. "Thor said you saved her, so thank you Allison." You smiled at Loki and nodded, giving a watery smile to Thor.

"Uh…I don't have room for this many people Thor." You head Tony say behind you.

"That's alright Tony, between my mother and Loki, I'm sure they can magic up some rooms for everyone on the ship." Thor told him. Tony was going to go broke trying to feed everyone.

"I was just filling everyone in on Thanos and the Infinity Stones." You told Thor. He nodded, and followed you back into the compound, as did Loki.

So now that we have Visions Stone and the Tesseract, oh don't give me that look Loki I know you stole it from Asgard, I know the future remember?" Loki looked away sheepishly. "I like her." You heard him say to Thor. Thor and Loki left, to get filled in by Nat and the rest of the group, leaving you, Bucky, Steve and Tony in the room.

"Okay, so we have to take care of Zemo first. Tony and I should go, capture him, and bring him back to the stated to be held." You told them, Tony nodding in agreement.

"Are you kidding me?" You turned to see a very pissed off Bucky behind you. "You just got back from almost getting blown up AGAIN. You're not going." He ordered.

You walked up to him and placed your hand on his waist. "Bucky, I love you. But. You don't get a say here. Zemo is dangerous, and there's a good chance he'll try and turn you against us, and I can't take that chance. I'm doing this for you. To protect you. Please trust me." You leaned up to kiss him softly, his hands going into your hair. He gasped into the kiss, looking down and the mound of ice holding his feet onto the floor. You backed away, tears forming in your eyes.

"I'm sorry Bucky. Please don't be mad at me."
