Divided We Fall

Chapter 26

"You won't be without me, James. I'm always gonna be here with you and nowhere else," Martine promised. Bucky smiled then, and kissed her passionately and lovingly.

She held him tightly and curled up into him. He held her close against his chest, seeing Salem and Selene join them on the bed, as they all fell asleep.

Bucky ran his fingers over her face, loving every part of her. He started feeling sleepy as well and drifted off, before falling asleep, with the woman he loved in his arms.

A few weeks passed by. Martine had been helping Pepper and Sharon with anything Stark and Avenger related. FRIDAY informed everyone at breakfast that she and Bucky had decided to try for children soon after getting married. Many smiled or applauded their decision, and then the bad news came.

Home Secretary Thaddeus Ross was arriving at the tower, along with his assistant Bobbi Morse, a former SHIELD agent who had left the organization.

Funny how things turned bad.

"What can we do for you, Home Secretary?" Rhodey asked politely. Steve, and anyone who had sided with Steve during the civil war, glared hostilely at the man. Adrian looked like he wanted to beat him up.

Wanda calmed him down and he held her hand tightly. Bucky remained silent, but Martine could sense his emotions though. He was angry, weary, distrustful and suspicious. He didn't like Ross for locking up Sam, Scott, Wanda and Clint in the Raft, which was how they had met Adrian.

"There has been an amendment to the Sokovian Accords, as there has been some concerns raised by the UN regarding children born to super-powered individuals. The United Nations, along with the Mutant Registration Organization, led by Mrs. Laveau-Pierce," Ross said seriously. The door opened to reveal none other than Adrian and Martine's estranged mother.

Carla.

"So you want us to register our children under the government to experiment on them?!" Clint asked angrily, rage entering his voice. He glared at Ross and Carla.

"We will only examine them if their powers show danger to innocent people. Wanda Maximoff's powers have clearly displayed this, along with my two children, and Bucky Barnes," Carla stated calmly, but her voice was cold.

"No one in this room is dangerous unless they're cornered by people who are trying to hurt them." Steve interjected firmly, as he rested his arm protectively over Sharon.

"That's where you are wrong, Captain Rogers," Vision spoke up quietly, but his voice was serious and grave. He regarded their leader with grim eyes.

Everyone stared at him in confusion.

"If Adrian and Wanda have a child, then together with Wanda's emotional and mental powers, which are on equal grounds of being powerful along with Adrian's, the child would have unparelled powers and could pose a risk to humanity itself. The same could be said for Sergeant Barnes and Martine. Her powers are darker, and no one quite understands them, and we already know how dangerous Barnes can be when unstable," Vision said gravely.

"That's enough Vision. You don't get to decide who can have kids just because Wanda doesn't love you," Tony said harshly, his voice surprisingly hard. He rested his hand over a shaking Pepper's, who was clearly nervous.

"I am only saying what needs to be said, Mr. Stark. Miss Romanoff is also dangerous due to her Red Room training, and my daughter should not be having children with an assassin," Carla said calmly, but there was a judgemental expression on her face. She glanced at where Bucky and Martine were sitting next to each other.

"You don't get to judge me, and I don't care what you think of me, so you can go to hell," Martine said coldly.

Carla sighed.

"I am trying to help you two. But then again, I remember taking you to that priest who lived in New Orleans. I begged him to give you an exorcism after you brought back two dying cats from the dead. You're evil, and you need to be stopped. Thank god Vision agrees and has decided to sign the amendment of the Accords," Carla said calmly.

Wanda looked at Vision with a hurt expression. He looked back firmly at her.

"It's for the best, Wanda."

"That's not fair!" she instantly states, standing up. "This couldn't have happened at a shittier time! Adrian and I were planning on trying for a family soon, and you're just gonna pull the rug out from under us like this?" Her voice was outraged.

Steve stands and places a hand on her shoulder, before looking at Ross. "We don't consent to this. You can try to order us around, but when it comes down to kids-innocent lives, as you say all the time-that's where we draw a line."

Ross shakes his head and then looks over at them. "No matter what happens, or how often you try to hide your kids, the government will find them."

Martine glares. "I'd like to see them try," she growls, practically snarling at her mother.

Carla scoffs and leaves, and slowly the rest do as well. As soon as the door is closed, Clint nearly explodes into a million arrow pieces.

"Who the FUCK do they think they are to be screwing with us?!" He snaps angrily, turning away. "To be experimenting on our kids? The government is the reason Laura and my daughter were killed in the first place. I'm not letting them touch my damn family!"

Wanda turns to Vision. "How could you do this, Vision?" She asks, her voice filled with hurt.

"I'm only thinking of how children are unstable, Wanda," he says gently. It was as if he was trying to slowly rip off a band aid. "They don't know how to control themselves."

"It doesn't mean that they'll explode a whole building!" Martine snaps. "Goddamnit, I've always wanted a family. I finally find a man who I know that will support me, give me kids and keep me safe, and now the government wants to stop it by experimenting on the children. Well FUCK YOU!" She snaps out the window.

Bucky comes over and pulls her back, feeling her breathing heavily. Her eyes were glowing a dark red-one he had never seen before-and her hands were turned into fists.

Before he could even say anything, she was storming away. Bucky sighs and goes after her. Steve looks at Sharon and rests a hand over her bump. "They aren't getting our kid. They aren't getting any of our kids." He looks over at the others. "If they want our children, they need to get through to us first. This is war."

He found her leaning against the nearest balcony, sobbing into her hands. Bucky quietly walks over, but she turned around and sunk into his arms, as if sensing he was there. The man sighs and wraps an arm around her while she cried.

"I...I don't want them to go through tests...it's so...so cruel," she cries.

Bucky pulls away her head and looks down at her firmly, wiping away her tears. "You listen to me. I don't give a shit about what your mother says or what the government says. We're going to get married, have us some kids, and they aren't going to lay a single finger on them. If they even come within eyesight, I'll fucking kill them," he growls to her.

She sniffles and looks up at him. "You mean that?"

"Mean what?"

"That you'll kill them?" Her voice suddenly got dark, and for once, she wasn't worried. This angered her to the point of no return. Her mother thought she was a devil? Fine. People harassed her? Okay. Getting shot multiple times? Barely even angry.

But testing on kids? That was too far. They were innocent. And if it involved HER future kids, it would get ugly. Real quickly.

Bucky grips her shoulders, looking down at her. "I mean it. I'll rip their fucking throats out if they lay even a single finger on our future child," he swears.

She bites her lip and looks back at him. "What if they take me and the child?"

"Won't happen."

"What if?" She insists, hands attaching to his front. "C'mon, what if?" Was she getting giddy about this? "What if they try to touch m-?"

That seemed to do it. He pushed her up against the wall of the outside, glaring down at her. "They won't EVER touch you!" he snaps at her. "Not while I'm alive and standing."

Now, usually, a normal girl would be running at seeing her boyfriend being so angry about the idea of someone touching them, run for the hills because of the jealousy and anger. But Martine was no normal woman. In fact, she was sure her panties were drenched at his harsh tone.

Why is it that she was turned on by the rough and angry side of Bucky? Because goddamnit, was she horny.

She bites her lip and pulls him away, heading towards an abandoned office with a couch. She jumps into his arms, lips on his, and smirks against his heated kisses. He lays her down on the desk, nearly climbing on top to get to her body. She pushes him off, causing him to glare at her, and then pulls him back by the jacket he was wearing.

"That woman doesn't know shit," she mutters, pushing it off. "Fucking hate my mother. She doesn't understand what a strong-" She kisses under his jaw. "-amazing-" Another kiss on his cheek. "-sexy man I have." She kisses him this time on the lips. "And they don't get how dangerous you can be."

"No, they do," he mutters. "That's why the laws being put in place. I just don't agree with the kids. I know I'm dangerous. But the kids aren't. That's what's wrong." She wraps her arms around him, smirking gently.

"And that's when they realize they're messing with the wrong team," she growls before sinking her lips back to his. She bites down on his bottom lip and pulls it into her mouth, causing him to groan. When she pulls away she practically grinds against his clothed jeans. "I fucking love when you turn into protective daddy wolf on me, saying what you'll do to keep me safe," she whispers. "You know what I want?"

She moves his hands to her lower area, smiling seductively.

"Fuck me like a wolf, James." He gives her a wide and dark grin, before turning her over onto the front of the desk, causing her to moan in pleasure. Yes, this is what she needed. Release. Hard release. Then she could get her head back.

It was some hours later, and all the Avengers were silent. Some were talking on the phone somewhere else, Wanda was glaring at Vision, and Steve was near Sharon, who was silently freaking out over what was going on.

"Does that mean they'll try to put needles in him?" she asks nervously. "Hurt him?"

"It doesn't matter because it's not going to happen," Steve says reassuringly before looking at the others. "Anyone seen Bucky and Martine."

Natasha smirks. "Those two went off hours ago. Both were pretty angry. I think I know how they deal with that now."

Steve's brow furrows. Sam rolls his eyes.

"Rogers. They're screwing like rabbits to put away the stress." He chuckles and looks outside. "I don't blame them. Shit, I need some release after this. What they're doing isn't right."

At that moment, the door opens to the common room, and both come in. They both looked remotely clean and tidy, but their cheeks were a bit flushed. Even more when Natasha smirks.

"Hello, lovebirds."

"Fuck off. Steve." Martine walks over, hands on her hips. "You can't let this happen. Not again. We can't afford another civil war. You have to agree, right Tony? Please."

Tony sighs. "I know the circumstances behind this. I understand why. But the way they're doing this isn't right." He runs a hand through his hair and sits on his couch, looking at the others. "Steve, you said this is war. I feel like there's no other way around it at this point."

Vision shakes his head. "You're all making a bad mistake."

Wanda snaps. "I don't want to hear a word from you, traitor!" she snarls, Adrian holding her back. "You were my friend and now you're stopping me from having something happy! You asshole!"

Everyone just wanted happiness, and now the government was trying to take it away. As usual.

Clint rests a hand on Nat's shoulder before looking at the others. "Anger isn't going to fix our problems," he says, surprisingly calm. "Strategy. Intelligence. We need to think this through and hit them where it hurts. This can't end in a huge fight. The last thing we need is more people hurt. But we need to fight back in any way we can."

Bucky nods and places an arm around Martine, before nodding at Steve. "Last thing we need is future Captain America in there getting pricked with needles," he mutters dryly.

Steve looks at Tony. This seemed almost impossible to avoid. "Are you with us?"

Tony was silent for a while as he glanced at Pepper, who nodded reassuringly. He nodded then at Steve, who seemed relieved and touched by his support.

"I'm with you all," Tony said firmly. Steve nodded in thanks as he shook his hand, and they began planning what to do in the worst case scenario.

Two days later, Ross arrived with a team including two psychiatrists. A man who wore glasses, and the other one was a woman with long dark brown hair and kind, compassionate eyes.

Martine didn't know why, but something was off about the man who wore glasses. He said his name was Ian Smith, and he was going to be interviewing the men, while Violet Turner would be interviewing the women.

Bucky waited until it was just him, Steve, Adrian and T'Challa to be interviewed. Clint, Sam, Tony, and Rhodey had been interviewed, and they saw Vision join them.

They ignored him, and the look Adrian gave Vision would have made even the devil cringe in fear. T'Challa kept his face devoid of any emotion, but everyone could tell he was angry at the android for doing this to them.

"Steve Rogers?" the male voice called out. Steve gave them all a reassuring look before heading into the interviewing room. He was in there for almost two hours before coming out, looking angry. Finally, Adrian went next, as Bucky was the last one.

An hour later, he stormed out, swearing and cursing in a mixture of Cajun and Creole French. He said some rude things in Sokovian, before he looked at Bucky.

"Good luck, that man is weird," He said quietly. Bucky nodded as they heard his name being called.

"James Barnes?"

"You'll be fine Bucky," Steve said reassuringly. Bucky nodded, hoping this interview wouldn't end like the one in Berlin. He entered the room and sat down.

"Hello James, would you prefer me calling you Bucky?" the man asked gently. Bucky looked at him suspiciously.

"Bucky," he said quietly. The man nodded as he began asking him questions. Then suddenly the power went out.

"What about your home Bucky? Not Brooklyn, New Orleans or the Avengers Training Facility, or even the Avengers Tower. I mean your OTHER home," the man asked calmly. Bucky looked at him suspiciously. His stomach dropped.

Zemo.

"What the hell do you want? I thought you were locked up in the Raft for what you did?" Bucky growled angrily as he tried to figure a way out. He saw Zemo holding the Winter Soldier book that had the trigger words.

"You'd be surprised to know that the Home Secretary Thaddeus Ross enlisted me in helping him and Carla control enhanced, mutant and inhuman individuals, like your girlfriend...Martine, wasn't that her name? Pretty girl, I wonder...do you know what Carla did in order to control her?" Zemo added pleasantly as Bucky glanced at the book.

"She tried to perform an illegal exorcism on her daughter when she was only nine years old after her mother caught her performing necromancy on her cat and brought it back to life," Bucky said, disgusted that a mother could do that to her own child.

Zemo smiled chillingly at him and began reading from the book. Bucky tried to break his way out of the room, but it was locked down because of the power.

He was trying to desperately break out of the room, when he heard Martine's voice in his head.

'James, what's wrong?' she asked worriedly. Bucky almost broke in relief at hearing her voice.

'Zemo's in here and he's helping Ross and Carla. You need to get everyone out of here...and he's got the book that Karpov and HYDRA used to control me with the trigger words,' Bucky said telepathically.

'I'm telling everyone. Don't worry, and Tony's trying to bring the power back on...I love you, James. Fight it,' Martine said thickly. Bucky smiled bravely.

'I love you too, vozlyublennaya,' He said quietly. Zemo began saying the words then to him in Russian, causing him to try and break the window.

"Zhelaniye," Zemo began to read as a smirk appears on his face. Bucky squeezed his eyes shut tightly, in an act of desperation.

"No," he growled out fiercely.

"Rzhavyy."

"Stop!" Bucky snarled. The Winter Soldier side of him tried not to be manipulated again by Zemo.

"Semnadtsat. Rassvet. Pech. Devyat. Dobroserdechnyy. Vozvrashcheniye na rodinu. Odin. Gruzovoy vagon...soldat?" Zemo asked calmly.

"Ya gotov otvechat," Bucky said emotionlessly.

Zemo smiled and walked over to him. Carla watched from behind the observing room.

"Mission report, 1991."

Martine raced through the halls to get to where Steve was with Tony, and then she grabbed at his arm, hard enough to cause him to spin around. "What the hell is going on?" he asks.

"Bucky...Zemo..." She breaths, trying to regain her words. "Zemo is the man interviewing. He's using the words on Bucky, Steve."

Steve's eyes widen while Tony leans against the table, hands in his hair. "Not AGAIN!"

Suddenly, people were running, and Natasha stood up from where she had been sitting. Someone had just called in over the radio. "Bucky's out. And it's bad."

Martine looked worried but Steve only nodded and took off with her. Tony growled before heading out. "I swear to God, if that man ruins every single piece of furniture in this place I'm going to kill him," he mutters angrily.

Martine runs into a room where Bucky was fighting multiple people all at once, and it was then that she was actually scared. She had never seen full-on Winter Soldier. He could take down a lot.

He could easily kill her.

She shakes her head as Steve comes forward, pushing him off the guard that was near him. Bucky tries to punch him but Steve dodges at takes his arm, but Bucky flips him over a table, going to run.

"James!" she calls out. Bucky suddenly stops and turns to look at her, and she was standing still, trying hard to swallow her fear.

No words passed from his mouth, and he came forward, aiming a gun at her head. Quickly, she used her powers to blow him back into the wall, the gun flying from his hands. But of course, being her, she rushes over to see if he was alright.

And he was. Too alright.

He comes out and pins her against the wall, one hand on both of her wrists and the other on her throat. "James..." she croaks out.

"Kto ty chert poberi?" He snarls at her.

"James, please," she gasps, hands going to his on her throat.

"Otvet na vopros!" She could feel the daylight start to leave her eyes. Her air supply was cutting short.

She brings a hand up to his cheek, eyes starting to close. "Ya...ya lyublyu tebya...James..." she whispers painfully.

AN: We hope you enjoy the chapter :)
