Bucky helped you down the stairs and into the lab, so Helen could start getting the glass out of your back and side, there was some on your legs too. You couldn't heal yourself until all the glass was gone. Your heels abandoned; you swung your legs off the table while Helen worked. You were furious. Tony had promised you. You warned him about what was going to happen.

"All our work is gone. Ultron cleared out. He used the Internet as an escape hatch." Bruce said.

"He's been in everything. Files, surveillance. He probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Nat added.

"He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decided to access something a little more exciting?" Rhodey offered.

"Nuclear codes." Maria said. Rhodey nodded. "Look we need to make some calls, assuming we still can."

"Nukes? He said he wanted us dead." Nat said softly. "He didn't say 'dead'. He said 'extinct." Steve stated.

"He also said he killed somebody." Clint called out, a worried look on his face. "There wasn't anyone else in the building." Maria said from where she was picking glass out of her feet.

"Yes, there was." Tony threw Jarvis up into the room, or what was left of him. Steve sighed. "Jarvis was the first line of defense. He would have shut Ultron down. It makes sense."

"No." Bruce started. "Ultron could have assimilated Jarvis. This isn't strategy. This is rage."

You had heard enough, you jumped off the table and went after Tony, backing him up against the table. "You promised me Tony!" You screamed. "I warned you! And you promised me you wouldn't do this! I'm pretty sure I fucking said, 'Hey Tony, don't make a fucking murder bot' and you fucking did it anyway! What the hell is the matter with you!" You felt a rage inside you that you'd never felt before.

"You don't know what I saw." Tony started. "Except I do! Remember! I know all of this! I know what happens! I knew what to do to prevent it! All you had to do was listen to me! You don't listen to anyone! You don't like hearing anything other than the sound of your own voice!" You were shaking and something in Tony's face changed, it was fear. He looked down to your hands and you followed, gasping to see that they had frost over them. Steve pulled you back and looked at you. "Ally, your eyes." You looked in the window and your mouth dropped. Your eyes were a bright blue, almost white.

"What is that?" Steve asked. "I don't know. It's never happened before." You closed your eyes and calmed down, letting Steve take you back to the table.

"I don't understand." Helen started. You created this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Tony actually started laughing. Bruce was shaking his head at him, trying to get him to stop.

"You think this is funny?" Thor asked. "No? It's probably not right? This is very terrible. Is it so..it is. It's so terrible." Tony said, not being able to contain his laughter.

"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you didn't understand." Thor told him. "No, I'm sorry, it is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Tony replied.

"Tony, maybe this might not be the time." Bruce reasoned. Tony spun around. "Really? That's it? You just roll over, show your belly every time someone snarls?"

Bruce gave him a pointed look. "Only when I've created a murder bot."

"We didn't. We weren't even close. Were we close?" Tony asked him, Bruce nodding.

"Well, you did something right. And you did it right here." Steve spoke up. Helen was almost finished with the glass in your leg, and you winced, grabbing on to the nearest thing, which just happened to be Bucky's hand. You looked over at him and he had a look of concern on his face. He was worried about you. You squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile.

Steve spoke about being better than Shield. Tony brought up how he drove a nuke through a wormhole, and everybody groaned. He said how the aliens and whatnot up in space were endgame. "How did you plan on beating that?"

"Together." Steve said. "We'll lose."

"Then we'll do that together too." Steve said, you mouthed out the words at the same time. But you wouldn't lose. Not this time. This time, they had you.

"We don't have time for this." You said softly, finally able to heal yourself. "Ultron is building some kind of power thruster in Sokovia right now that can literally lift the whole country up into the air. Tomorrow the Maximoff twins will be in South Africa with Klaue, a scumbag who deals in vibranium. Made enemies with the people of Wakanda. Ultron also killed Strucker." You told them, hopping off the table. "We need to get there as soon as we can and stop Ultron from getting it."

You walked back to your floor, getting ready, again, for a mission that could have been prevented. Opening your door, you walked out into the kitchen, setting you weapons bag down on the island, having left them in there the other day. "Can we talk?" You head from behind you.

You turned and saw Bucky standing awkwardly in the living room. "I don't really have time to talk right now Bucky. And you made yourself pretty clear how you felt the other night." You grabbed the bag and turned to walk away, but he was standing in front of you. "Please Ally. I'm so sorry. It wasn't me. I mean…it was, but I wasn't mad. I don't know what happened. I don't blame you for what happened to me. I don't. Please believe that." He pleaded. You could hear the sincerity in his voice. "Okay." You whispered.

"Let me come with you." He said. You shook your head. "No Bucky, you can't. This girl, the Maximoff girl, she can mess with people's minds. She could get in your head and I don't ever want that to happen to you again. Please trust me when I say you are safer here." He looked down and nodded.

"Hey." You said, taking his hand and pulling him to you, wrapping your arms around his middle. "I'll be okay. Promise." You backed away and turned to leave, but Bucky stopped you. He pulled you in again and placed a kiss on your forehead. "Be careful." He whispered. You smiled, backing away, butterflies in your stomach. "Always am."

The fight on the boat went much like you thought it would. Wanda got into everyone's head. She made you see yourself in the room with the chair, while Bucky was strapped into it. He was screaming out your name, tears down his face, and then they wiped him. When they let him out of the chair, they activated the Winter Soldier and the last thing you saw was his metal hand coming for your throat before you blacked out.

You knew you were on your way to Clint's farm. Everybody had taken a hit except Tony. Nat and Bruce took the worst of it. After Thor left, you stepped outside. You just needed a minute. You hadn't expected Wanda to get to you, or to see what you did. You felt a hand on your shoulder and turned to see Steve. "What did you see?" He asked softly.

"Bucky. Well, it wasn't Bucky…it was the soldier. He was screaming my name and they wiped him, then turned him against me. He was going to kill me." Steve sighed and pulled you to him, wrapping his arms around your shoulders. "It wasn't real Ally. Bucky's not going to hurt you."

"The thing is, if someone activates the soldier, he can, and he will." You whispered. Until you could get Bucky to Wakanda, he could hurt you. He could hurt anyone.

After you showered, you went out to the jet to call Bucky. He was probably worried about you.

"Hello?"

"Hey Buck, it's Ally."

"Hey, I was starting to get worried. Where are you, are you okay?"

You smiled. "Not really Buck. The team took a hit, the girl played mind tricks on all of us, Bruce took it worst, Hulked out real bad. Were at a safe house now. I'm not sure when we'll be able to come home." You told him. You heard him sigh.

"What did she show you? The girl."

"It's not important Bucky."

"It was me, wasn't it. I hurt you, didn't I?"

"Bucky, it doesn't matter, whatever she showed me isn't true, I know that."

"But I could hurt you, that's the thing. Just like the other day. I'm not completely in control. I should leave, it's not safe for you to be around me."

"Bucky, please don't say that. You're not going to hurt me, I know that. Please don't leave. Please stay. We can talk when I get back okay? Just don't leave." There was a long silence and you weren't even sure he was there anymore.

"Okay. Just please come home soon okay? Come home to me."

There were a few seconds of silence and then the line disconnected. Come home to me.

Bucky wanted you to come back to him.
