Emily's P.O.V:
It took at least a day for me to locate James Buchanan, thanks to my pregnancy causing my magic to be uncontrollable and unpredictable. By the time I could pinpoint where he was, Steve had made a huge mess of things causing for my statements against the accords become trash. I froze everyone and everything that was in five feet radius. Immediately, let the officers apprehend the four idiots. Thankfully, Rhodey was to stop them from creating more damage.
"Rhodey," I yell to grab his attention.
He turned around and smiled, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I... I tried to get the accords overturned, but this idiot had to act out!" I sigh. "Anyways, can I catch a ride to wherever they are taking the four idiots, my magic is wonky."
He smiled with sympathy and carried me bridal style to the facility Steve was being held. Once we were in the building, I first go to see the new king of Wakanda. "If you are here to talk, you won't be hearing anything from me," He said.
"Oh good, so you will listen," I growled. "Were you even thinking when you went on a goose chase? Did you even think of the consequences it would bring to all of us... to me?"
"This is a matter of honor, to avenge my father's death... Something you would have never done." He whispered the last words.
I could feel my rage oozing out of me, and I pushed him as hard as I could beat his chest. "Don't you dare judged me and talk to me about honor! What you are doing is not honorable." I cried thanks to the hormones. "You have no idea, what I had to face. You are lucky Mjomba died quickly, I had to see my whole family burned at the stake. T'Challa, I mean it, do NOT seek vengeance. That man will pay for his crimes here!"
I rushed out of his room to meet with Steve, to see him talking with Tony. He was convincing Steve to sign the accords. "Sure, once we put out the PR requirements, have Wanda reinstated-" I hear.
"Wanda?"
I burst in, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TREATING WANDA LIKE THAT!" I yell grabbing everyone's attention.
"Emily-" Tony was interrupted once again.
"You will call Vision this instant and tell him to back off," I said. "She can NOT be cooped up in that building!"
Steve, once again disappointed argues with Tony's decisions. "She's not a US citizen, and they don't grant visas to weapons of mass destruction!"
"SHE'S JUST A KID!" STEVE AND I YELL.
"GIVE ME A BREAK," Tony replied. "I'm doing what has to be done."
"You keep telling yourself that," Steve said, gently putting a pen on the table. "Hate to break the set."
I rubbed my hands on my face and said, "why are you making things worse?"
"Ems, I'm trying to solve this. Signing the accords is the best way."
"I can't continue arguing about this; it's exasperating!" I raise my voice. "You promised you wouldn't stop me from doing my job."
"And I am not. I freely let you come here to convince the UN they were wrong with the accords, which quite frankly, I believe we need them."
"Tony, these accords, are stopping me from what I need to do to keep our world safe. Hell, it stops you from keeping the world safe." I said. "Bruce will be in danger if this gets approved. If this continues, I might have to make plans without you in it."
"Ems-"
"Tony, I mean it," I interrupted and began to cry, stupid hormones. "You keep pushing the accords to the team, I'll leave for good." I rushed out of the room trying to find the nearest restroom I could find and cry my heart's content. Everything that I have experienced, every wonderful memory I had cherished with Tony has been crumbling down in a matter of days, and no matter how I tried to fix it something destroyed my attempts. After a while, I gathered myself and went to listen to the evaluation the psychiatrist was conducting to James.
"Hello, Mr. Barnes, I've been sent by the United Nations to evaluate you," The Doctor said. "Do you mind if I sit?" I see the man sit down, but as I see the transmission something was bugging me. There was a feeling of dread in this, and I had a bad feeling something was going to happen. I kept my eye on the doctor, which was doing the routine questions to get the criminal's trust. My attention had also been drifting to Steve's mind which was telling me his friend was being framed. Everything was going great until the doctor's last words. "Don't worry, I'm only here to talk about one." There was malice in those words I understood Steve's thoughts. "CUT THE EVALUATION!" I yelled.
They all stared at me with surprise, "You are in no position to make such requests." Everett Ross said.
"If you don't get that doctor out of there, he will unleash something both of us are not able to handle!" I yelled once again but it was too late. The power suddenly was cut off and everyone was running to get James contained. Tony immediately tried to figure out what was wrong, and I followed the Captain leading me to Barnes. I see everyone unconscious and the doctor begging for help. "Who are you," Steve asked. "What do you want?"
"TO see the empire fall," the man replied smugly.
Bucky struck immediately knocking out Sam and continued to fight Steve. Before I could interrogate the intruder, James charged at me forcing me to disappear from his sight. At this point, I wasn't going to risk this pregnancy fighting someone in a hand to hand combat when my magic was acting up. All I could do was follow everyone's movement in the fight. To my surprise, the "doctor's" mind was filled with revenge thanks to what happened in Sokovia. I couldn't let this continue any longer, this man was going to destroy everything and everyone, and he would be unstoppable.
After the mess cleared up, I saw once again the Secretary of State causing my blood to boil with anger. There was no way this was going to be solved calmly and rationally. I look at Natasha, who returned the gesture, and she knew which side I was one. She only nodded and left to deal with the man. Immediately, I searched for Steve and Sam in an abandoned warehouse with James Buchanan. "You should call Tony," I said. "Even if he's an idiot, he could help."
The three men stared ready to engage. "I'm not here to fight," I assured.
"Your boyfriend won't believe us," Sam said. "And even if he did help, with the Accords it won't make much of a difference."
"We're on our own," Steve replied.
"Maybe not," Steve and I arched an eyebrow, "I know a guy."
Tony P.O.V:
After the small meeting with the esteemed Secretary, I started to get a migraine. Why couldn't Steve just followed protocol? Why was this whole mess destroying out lives? "My left arm is numb," I said. "Is that normal?"
Natasha smiled, "You alright?"
"Always," I shrugged thinking of the Secretary's demands. "36 hours..."
"We are seriously understaffed," She says.
"Emily?" She shook her head. "It would be great to have the Hulk right about now."
"No," She smiled, "You think he would be on our side? I have an idea."
"Me too." The shock she had on her face was priceless, "Where's yours?"
"Downstairs," she hesitated. "Where's yours?" All I could give her was a bright smile.
Author's Note:
I know it's late but here you have the chapter. Next chapter the battle will start I'm getting really pump for it. Emily will still have problems controlling her magic since most of it will be working on protecting the baby. She's all defenseless in a world full of metahumans and heroes. This is the only thing I'll be saying Emily's last work, magic wise, will be healing Rhodey. This fic is getting closer to the end but there will be a sequel starting with the Doctor Strange.
I really hope you liked this chapter, sorry it's short but this is all I could write. I'll try to update regularly but with work and college, it's been difficult to write.
Until Next Time ;)
