Cassidy stood in the stairwell for several minutes after Steve left. She had thought he would have wanted her to come with him to Peggy's funeral, to be there for him. She didn't think he would be so mad at her for siding with Tony. She saw both sides to the situation, she just didn't want any more people to get hurt.

Tears fell down her face as she sat down on the stairs. She put her head in her hands and let it all go. She heard footsteps and her head shot up to see Nat standing at the top of the stairs. Cassidy wiped her face as the redhead sat next to her.

"What happened?" She asked.

"It's Peggy, she died. I thought Steve would want me to come with him to the funeral, but he's so mad at me for siding with Tony over the Accords that he wouldn't really even talk to me. He just said he'd see me when he got back. I understand where he's coming from Nat, I really do, but I don't want another mission like Lagos to happen." Nat pulled her to her side and rubbed up and down her arm, relaxing her slightly.

"If you wanna get out of the house I'm going to the Accords signing on behalf of the team. We could probably stop in London on the way if you wanted." Cassidy nodded, maybe going with Nat and hearing the Accords out would make her feel better, and if Steve didn't want to talk to her, then she'd deal with it later.

Cassidy elected to stay inside the jet while Nat went and talked to Steve. So far she and Nat, Rhodey, Tony, and Vision had decided to sign the Accords. Clint already told them he was retired and Wanda hadn't decided yet. Cassidy thought she was doing the right thing here, why couldn't Steve understand that?

The click of Nat's heels brought Cassidy back to reality and when she looked up she frowned when she didn't see Steve with her. Nat shook her head and sat in the pilots next to her. "He said he doesn't want to talk to you right now, I'm sorry Cass. I told him he's being stupid but he's just angry."

Cassidy tried to hold back the tears in her eyes but she failed. She rubbed at her heart, between the tension with Steve and not knowing where Bucky way, Cassidy felt like she was in constant pain.

There was a lot of news coverage on the Accords, how could there not be? 117 countries basically wanted to put a stop to the Avengers. Cassidy followed Nat up to the giant conference room where the singing would take place, and immediately she was being asked to sign things.

A tall man in a well-tailored suit walked over to them and Cassidy recognized him at Prince T'Challa of Wakanda. "I suppose neither of us is used to the spotlight." He told them.

Nat laughed. "Well, it's not always so flattering."

"You seem to be doing alright so far. Who is your friend?" He asked, nodding to Cassidy. She stuck her hand out to shake his, smiling.

"Cassidy Forbes. It's a pleasure to meet you., Your Highness."

"Please, T'Challa, we don't really do formalities in my country." Cassidy smiled at him as an older man came over, the King of Wakanda.

"Please allow me to apologize for what happened in Nigeria." Nat told him.

"Thank you. Thank you for agreeing to all this, I know it is not easy. I'm sad to hear Captain Rogers will not be joining us today." T'Chaka told them.

Nat nodded. "So are we."

An announcement was made for everyone to be seated so the meeting could get started. Nat took her seat with the rest of the leaders, and Cassidy stood off to the side by the windows with T'Chaka. He started speaking and thanking the Avengers for supporting the Accords, when Cassidy caught something out of the corner of her eye outside.

T'Challa noticed at the same time she did, a man standing on the street by a van. He looked completely out of place. He looked like….no….it couldn't be him…could it?

"Bucky?" She whispered. It was all she could get out before T'Challa pushed her to the ground and started to run for his father.

"Everybody get down!" There was an explosion and Cassidy was flung across the room, glass pieces falling all over her. She coughed and looked up, seeing T'Chaka lying on the ground, his son crying over his body. Her shoulder burned and she knew she had some glass shards in there. She struggled to her feet and looked around for Nat, who was checking on the injured.

Once they got down to the street, there were people running everywhere. She could hear the news reporters saying that it was Bucky that set off the explosion. Cassidy felt like she couldn't breathe. She could hear her phone ringing with Steve's ringtone, ….., but she couldn't move her hands to answer it.

Bucky couldn't have done this. He was himself when he had left them on the riverbank. He recognized her and Steve. Had Hydra gotten to him again? That made her worry more. She was frozen. She could see Nat in front of her, taking her phone out of her hand, but she couldn't focus on anything, she couldn't move.

"Cass, I need you to come back okay?" Nat asked her, answering the phone.

Steve must have asked about Cassidy because Nat glanced up at her then back down at the ground. "She's in some kind of shock, she won't talk or move, I'm not really sure what to do here Steve."

Cassidy felt Nat's arms around her and suddenly her feet were moving down the sidewalk. She looked forward and saw that Nat had turned her into an alley. She pressed Cassidy up against the wall so she wouldn't fall over while she checked to see if anyone was coming.

Cassidy felt a second pair of hands on her and she heard Steve's voice in her ear. "Sweetheart? I need you to come back to me okay? Come on, look at me with those beautiful eyes, I want to see you." He said softly. Even though she knew he was right next to her, his voice felt like it was a million miles away. Everything was muffled and Cassidy briefly wondered if her hearing had been damaged in the explosion.

She felt Steve's lips on hers and after a few moments, her eyes fluttered shut and she came back into focus, grabbing on to Steve with whatever strength she had left. She kissed him back softly and he let out a hum against her lips.

"There she is. Hi sweetheart." He whispered. He pulled back and Cassidy opened her eyes, blinking a few times, looking around, then back at him. "Steve?" She asked. He smiled at her and nodded.

"Where are we, what happened?"

"You were out of it after they announced Barnes was responsible for the explosion." Nat said. "Look, I've gotta go, are you coming with?" She asked Cassidy.

Cassidy looked from Steve back to Nat, shaking her head. "No, I'm gonna stay here."
