I'm changing a lot in civil war but that movie didn't make sense anyway.

Saint Luke's Cathedral next day (Toni POV)
"I hate funerals." I couldn't help but think as I sat in the front row of the church.
I was sitting with what little family was left because apparently Peggy requested it and I at least knew some people here. Sharon also asked for me to say a few words but I have no idea what I'm going to say.
"And to say a few words Antonia Stark." The priest says gesturing for me to come up to the podium.
Walking up I stand straight and look over the crowd from the podium. There were lots of people here but how many actually knew Peggy and not the titanium clad woman who she presented herself as.
"The first time I had the pleasure of meeting Peggy I was three years old and she came to speak to my father. I was sitting with my mother and this woman comes into the study, she looms over me so I did what any kid does... I threw a cup at her." I say getting a chuckle from the crowd.
"She immediately wiped the juice from her face and picked me up by the back of my shirt. I dangled there glaring at her and she just smiles saying -You got guts kid your going to need them later-. Peggy would pop in and out of my life growing up, always having advice from how to hide a gun in a dress or how to pick out suspicious people in a crowd. I am glad to have known her and the world is a little darker without her." I finished with applause walking back to my seat.
The rest of the funeral was subdued with more speeches and a prayer. When the pallbearers came I see Rogers was one of them.
"That explains the kicked puppy look he's had." I thought as the coffin was carried away.
After Peggy was in the ground I walk over to Sharon, Rogers and Wilson standing by a tree.
"We could have carpooled if I knew you were going." I say to Rogers.
"I didn't know you were coming." He says.
"Well I got my invitation last minute from the puke princess." I say gesturing to Sharon.
"Are you ever going to drop that nickname?" Sharon asks embarrassed.
"No." Was all I had to say.
I drag Rogers and Wilson over to a secluded spot to talk.
"Listen I have a bad feeling about tomorrow's summit so I need all hands on deck. There are way too many VIPs there and it makes a good target when the whole world is watching." I say knowing someone stupid would do something stupid.
"You think there's going to be an attack?" Wilson asks.
"She has a point, it would make a great target. Should we bring our gear?" Rogers asks rubbing his chin.
"Ya but only what you can hide on your person." I say walking over to the parking lot.
Vienna International Centre next day (Toni POV)
The summit was filled with tons of people from every nation ready to say there there part but the main attraction was T'Chaka's speech that was up first. All of us were here with weapons stashed on us that we snuck through security. I had a watch that turns into a gauntlet, Nat, Wilson and Rhodey had guns made of dense plastic. Wanda, Pietro, Rogers and Jennifer didn't need weapons.
"Hello king T'Chaka how is your day?" I ask approaching the king.
"It is fine Stark but I got your message and it does raise many red flags." He says.
The copy of the Accords I sent him was highlighted to hell and back for human rights violations. He is understandably not happy with what he read but says we can address them after his speech. We sat down as the king takes the podium and gives a elegant speech about how unfortunate the incident was and precautions we can take in the future but he is cut off when the prince shouts.
"EVERYONE DOWN!" He shouts running for his father.
"Wanda! Pietro!" I shout pointing to the window.
BOOM!
The explosion shakes the building as fire crawls up the side lighting up the room. But a red energy barrier moves up over the massive window keeping the glass from coming in as a blur grabs the royal king and prince taking them out of danger.
"Secure the perimeter! Everyone stay here!" Guards yell running out of the room.
"Wanda you good?" I ask moving over to a panting Wanda.
"Yes but that was close." She says sitting down to catch her breath.
The room falls into chaos as people start to panic but before it gets out of control I make a bold decision.
"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yell silencing the room.
Everyone quiets down to stare at the person with big enough balls to tell the worlds representatives to shut the fuck up. I clear my throat and walk up to the center of the floor to address everyone.
"Now we are going to calm down and thank Wanda Maximoff for saving us in our time of need so can I get some applause." I say with a clap.
Slowly the rest began to clap till everyone is cheering for Wanda as said girl starts to blush and wave.
"Yes thank you for saving my son and I." T'Chaka says walking over with Pietro.
After sitting around for an hour the security team tells us it's clear. Some wanted to leave but the decision here today was to important to put off. Walking to the now windowless stage I tap the microphone to make sure it's working.
"Ladies and gentlemen I come to you today as one of the people that will be affected by the Sokovia Accords. It may be necessary to implement laws like these for safety's sake but I do not believe this is the answer." I say pulling up a hologram with the Accords knowing the world was still watching.
"We have looked over them meticulously and I believe some sections attack human decency itself. Let us not be guided by fear of the unknown but push forward to pave the way for future hero's like Wanda and Pietro Maximoff." I say seeing people begin clap until the whole room is standing and applauding.
After some deliberation it was decided that the Sokovia Accords would be put on hold until a better document could be made. I know Ross was pissed but I could care less, this was a major win for us and enhanced around the world.
Vienna grand hotel penthouse 4 hours later (Toni POV)
I was having a good talk with T'Chaka in my hotel penthouse when Rogers burst in to my room.
"Stark I need your help." He says then noticed I wasn't alone.
"Hello Mr Rogers." King T'Chaka asks from his seat.
"Oh I'm sorry I did not know you had company." Rogers say standing in the arch way.
"I fear I have to leave, let's meet again Ms Stark." T'Chaka say leaving with his guards.
"Ok what can I help you with?" I ask filling a glass with scotch.
"I assume you have seen the reports, there saying that the Winter soldier was responsible for the bombing." Rogers says pacing in my room.
"Yes I have heard that, there is a world wide manhunt for James Barnes not that anyone know it." I say taking a sip.
"Can you find him? I know I'm asking a lot especially with what happened to your parents. But if it was him I want to try and talk him down, if it wasn't he may lead us to who did." Rogers say practically begging.
"Well on one hand I want to cave his face in but on the other Hand people need him alive for the treasure trove of Hydra info he has. Hmm decisions decisions. Well I guess it would be better for you to capture him rather than indulging in vengeance. We're going to need Vivian to find him." I say holding up my watch with a hologram.
"Thanks Toni, but who's Vivian?" He asks very happy but also confused.
"Friday, Jarvis unlock Vivian's room." I say.
"Yes boss, of course Mam." My cyber children say going to work.
"To answer your question I copied the search tech from Project Insight and modified it to search for specific people. It has access to cameras around the world to search out even the smallest bits of data to find people. Vivian is the AI that runs the program but she has a very unique personality, as in she is super paranoid and spends most her time in her server coming up with conspiracy theories then disproving them." I say watching the last lock fall from the server.
"Mistress why have you called me?" A young teenage voice says with a southern drawl and a hushed tone.
"Dear I need you to find James Buchanan Barnes." I say to my youngest child.
"Yes mistress I will, after can we discuss the lizard people that are taking over the world?" She asks with a whisper.
"Of course we can." I say knowing it would make her happy. The AI goes to work with a small humming noise like someone trying to color a children's book.
"She seems... interesting. Why haven't you used this before?" Rogers says.
"This is a very experimental program right now Vivian is looking through trillions of photos a second and an ocean of data. This will be the first field test I've done for the whole world normally I test Vivian in small areas." I say refilling my glass.
"And the unlock part?" He asks probably worried about another evil AI.
"She prefers it that way. Think of it like locking yourself in a private room, she likes privacy which is ironic." I say hearing a beep.
"Mistress I have a location, Bucharest Romania an apartment complex sending coordinates now." Vivian says.
"There we go I knew you could do it." I say praising my youngest.
"Your to kind mistress, I'll await our talk." She says signing off.
"We need to get there now." Rogers says already walking to the exit.
"Hold up! Let me contact the Romanian government to explain the situation." I say stopping him.
"And if they say no?" He asks through gritted teeth.
"Oh I don't think they'll say no especially since Romania just got bumped to the front of the list of countries that gets free clean energy power plant." I say with a smirk.
After a quick phone call to the Romanian government that definitely do not include a bribe we were given permission to enter.
"Ok we're wheels up in 30 minutes so grab your shit and call everyone." I say walking out to get my suit.
Inconspicuous apartment 4 hours later (James Barnes POV)
I was being framed.
Not that it was hard to do being the Winter soldier and everything but it still felt terrible. Knowing people had no problem believing I would bomb a peace summit because I could. But it was only a matter of time before someone found me so it's time to pack up and move out. Or I would have done that if when I walked into my apartment Steve Rogers was standing there.
"30 minutes should be plenty of time thanks Stark." He says to a ear piece.
He turns around to see me with that same wistful expression that haunts my memories I don't quite see clearly. It's like if he stares hard enough I'll run up and hug him.
"Bucky no one is here to hurt you we just want answers." Steve says holding his hands up in surrender.
"I didn't bomb the summit, I don't do that anymore." I say scanning the room for my go bag.
"Then help us find who did, there trying to frame you." He say stepping closer.
"I need to leave." I say about to shove him out of the way.
"You don't want to run, Stark is out there and if she sees you not being escorted out she will attack." He says desperate for me to listen.
"Great a person with a great reason to want me dead and the power to do it." I think going over my options.
I've seen the footage of Stark and I know I won't make it far. Was surrender such a bad idea? I am tired of running but they will just throw me into a cell for the rest of my life.
"Still not like I have much of a life to begin with."
"What! Who? Alright we're moving. Bucky we need to move someone is coming that's not with us." Steve says running to the door.
"Fine I'll stay with you, not like I have a choice." I say punching a hole in the floor for my go bag.
Outside inconspicuous apartment 5 minutes earlier (Toni POV)
"I'm just saying I could make you a suit. It would fly, shoot, go invisible I'll even keep the black and red color scheme." I say to Nat but she just rolls her eyes.
"For the last time I don't need a suit. Plus if I have one it kinda ruins your brand." She replies.
"While that is a good point my counter point is you can be my sidekick. Iron Queen and Steel Widow, just think of the action figures we would sell." I say trying to bribe her.
"I thought you hated being called a hero?" She says with a smug air about her.
"At this point I have to take the title even though I think it's horse shit. To many people see me as a hero for the title not to stick so it's more for the public than anything else. Plus the shirt sales go up if a hero is on them" I say seeing on infrared scan that Rogers was still talking.
Turns out a new clean energy power plant can get you a lot including a 10 block perimeter of police and 30 minutes to talk down a super assassin. The team was posted around the building in case he makes a break for it. Nat and I are on the roof just standing around till something happens but I'm hopeful that nothing does.
"Mam we have a problem! Someone just ran through the blockade! Black suit, looks like a cat!" The officer radioed me.
"T'Chaka isn't even close to dumb enough to try this."
"Keep the perimeter. We will deal with it." I reply to the officer.
"Something wrong?" Nat asks.
"Ya we have company. Wilson do you see a black cat coming from the southeast?" I say to our eye in the sky.
"Yes moving incredibly fast towards the apartment building. Should I engage?" He asks.
"No just tail him, I'll deal with the kitty." I say walking to the ledge.
"Wait the same guy who took Ulysses Klaue?" Nat asks.
"I don't think so but I have a very good idea who." I reply jumping off to fly southeast.
"Rogers there is a possible non friendly coming so hurry up." I say flying to Wilson's location.
"What! Who?" Roger says.
"Can't say but you need to move out now, jets just north of the perimeter." I say seeing said cat running fast.
"Alright we're moving." Rogers say before cutting the line.
Seeing Black Black Panther suit I know it's not T'Chaka because his suit has more a more tribal feel were this one is just a black slate. Flying over the person I fire a warning shot in front of there path making them stop.
"Does your dad know your here?" I say to who I assume is T'Challa.
"Get out of my way that man almost killed me and my father!" T'Challa yells showing his claws.
"And we have it under control, so you can just leave before you get into more trouble." I say activating my gauntlets.
He just lunges at me swiping his claw, I lean back letting it sail over me. Throwing a punch I hit him in the chest but the armor just absorbed the blow. He takes the chance to slash my helmet but it also absorbed the hit.
"Vibranium armor, we will be at this all day." I say readjusting my stance.
He throws himself to the side which I follow but that was a mistake when I feel something hit my ankles. Looking down I see it's a bola wire made of Vibranium causing me to trip. Before he can run to fare I shoot some foam that quickly expands to cover his lower half making him trip as well.
"That's riot foam it expands to cover a large area. Police can't use it for fear of suffocating people but it's real useful on a lost kitty I need to drop off with his father." I say unwrapping myself.
"Let me go!" T'Challa shouts now covered up to his waist.
"Nope! Bad kitty!" I say removing his helmet.
Quickly I spray him in the face with a knockout gas that will keep him under till I can drop him off. Cutting him out I hoist him over my shoulder putting his helmet back on and fly off to the jet being as carful as can be.
When I reach the jet I see Everyone including Barnes sitting with his arms crossed. Gently laying the cat on a bench I walk over to Barnes looming over him.
"Toni don-" Roger tries to stop me but he was to slow to stop my fist from hitting Barnes in the jaw.
"I guess I deserve that." Barnes says holding his jaw.
"Your lucky I'm calm and even tempered or your head would have exploded." I say dead serious.
"I don't doubt that." He says.
"Ok I have to drop the kitty off, while I do that take Barnes to the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre Building to be held. I want someone watching him at all times." I say about to make a call to a king.
"What about me?" Jennifer asks.
"Listening I'm sorry I have been dragging you everywhere but if you could bear with it a little longer than I want you to accompany the team. Hay if you want you can be legal counsel for Barnes, he says he didn't bomb us." I say feeling a little bad about dragging my lawyer into this mess.
"Don't worry Toni Nat and I can watch her." Wanda says slinging an arm around Jennifer making her smile.
"Good I'll meet you guys there after my trip." I say stepping out to make a call.
Airport runway private jet 1 hour later (T'Chaka POV)
When my son went missing I am not ashamed to say I panicked. He was a man but also a prince in a foreign land. Then I get a call from Stark and my panic turns to anger and disappointment. Taking his sacred armor blessed by Bast herself, running off to a Romania, then engaging in a fight with an ally while trying to assassinate a possibility innocent man. To many lines have been crossed today.
Knock! Knock!
"Please open the outer door that will be Stark." I say running a hand down my face.
The door opens and Stark flys in with my son tied up with steel cables. She looks directly at me before placing my son on an open seat.
"I guessing this is yours." She says flipping up her faceplate.
"Yes I apologize for his behavior, trust me my wife and I will give him a fitting punishment." I say lowering my head in apology.
"Don't sweat it but I would be worried about what Shuri is going to do." She says with a smile.
I was about to agree until a siren goes off from her armor.
"Oh shot that's an emergency beacon! I need to go!" She says diving out the open door flying off.
Just then my son seems to regain conciseness and looks around before his eyes land on me.
"So son tell me what exactly were you doing?" I asks with a fatherly tone.
Joint Counter Terrorist Centre Building 30 minutes later (Toni POV)
Flying as fast as I can I cut an hour long flight down to half. Rocketing to the entrance I smash through the doors and race to the holding area. I expected many things when I get there so I prepare for the worst.
"I asked Jen to come here and now she many be in danger." I berated myself.
I noticed the emergency light are on so the power was cut and there are guards running around. Making the turn to the cells and interrogation rooms I see an open door so I run in. What I see I am definitely not prepared for.
"Oh Toni can you get some restraints I can't hold him forever." A very green and tall Jennifer Walters asks holding the Winter soldier by his robot arm and neck while he used his flesh arm to try and punch her.
"Uh sure let me just find some." I say looking around for some anything useful. A team of guards come in with a heavy duty set of cuffs and chains while Rogers trails in after.
When the guards have Barnes in custody he stops fighting and goes silent with a stone faced expression. I call everyone to a meeting room to find out what the fuck is going on.
Secret hideout same time (Zemo POV)
"Why is nothing working!" I yell throwing the Winter soldier activating book at the wall.
First my bomb does nothing but kill a few pedestrians and police.
Then Barnes goes without a fight when he should have fought back.
Now I managed to slip into Barnes cell and activate him but that green bitch grabs him like a misbehaving child.
"All of my plans down the drain! If anything the Avengers are stronger now more than ever!" I shout flipping my table.
They were supposed to fight and fracture not pull together. The Sokovia Accords was a great opening to cause dissent and infighting but they stood together and got them put on hold.
"No. No... this can still work. I just need to get those three to the Siberian base and watch them tear each other apart." I say trying to calm down.
"But I guess those frozen soldiers still have one last mission." I say packing my equipment.
Joint Counter Terrorist Centre meeting room (Toni POV)
"This is such a cluster fuck." I sigh finally out of my armor and sitting in an office chair.
"It's not so bad Toni, at least Barnes didn't escape." Nat say but I was hardly paying attention.
"I know this is karma from all the bad deeds I have committed in my past lives. All of those Pegasus ridding bitches waited till I was rich and successful before cursing me." I mumbled wondering when a piano was going to fall on me.
"What's she talking about." Wanda asks in a whisper to Nat.
"I don't know, It must be the stress catching up to her." Nat replies with a look of worry.
"I left one alive, doesn't that count for something... I'm not a bad person anymore, sure not the best but I try." I say sliding out of my chair onto the floor.
"Should we do something?" Pietro says looking under the table at me.
"Uh Jen would you mind?" Nat asks gesturing to my downed form.
"No problem." She says walking over to me and scooping me up bridal style taking me to the couch in the room laying me down.
"This seems to be a great time to sleep after being up for three days." I thought letting the darkness take me.
Same place same time (Natasha POV)
"Well that was something." I say quietly to not wake Toni.
"Is she going to be ok?" Steve asks.
"I think she's been running at a hundred and ten percent for to long and it just got her. Lets take a couple of hour for a break then we can fill her in on the details." I say getting nods from everyone.
"What about her armor?" Wilson asks looking at the black and green death machine.
"Don't worry we can pilot the suit while Boss lady sleeps, I will stay by her side until she wakes." Fridays voice says moving the suit over to stand by the couch.
"Ok let's meet back here in two hours, get food and rest because we have work to do." Steve says walking out of the room.
Wilson follows Steve out, Wanda and Pietro decide to nap in there chairs, Jennifer does the same but on a loveseat near the couch, Vision just stands there, I just get up for a snack if I can find one.
