You were sitting on the floor in between Steve's legs against the chair he was sitting in. You had your head leaned against his knee, and he was running his hands through your hair. Your Conversation from Bucky was still sitting heavily on your heart, and you hoped he was still at the tower when you got home. You weren't really listening to Fury as he talked.

"Dr Cho. He went to see Dr Cho. He took her hostage and forced her to make an evolved version on himself. It's in her cradle. He wants to evolve." Everyone looked down at you.

You were gonna go with Steve, Nat and Clint to get the cradle from Ultron. You knew where he was gonna be and you figured it was better to be out there, instead of going back to the tower just yet like Bruce had.

You and Steve ran as fast as you could, well, Steve ran faster than you did. You made it into the facility and rushed over to Helen, placing your hands over her chest, healing her. "He's uploading himself into the body."

"We know, it's okay Helen, you're gonna be okay." You told her. You and Steve ran out to find the truck. "We can't destroy the stone; it will level the city. We have to get it back to Tony." You said through the comms. Steve grabbed you and jumped onto the truck, skidding to a stop. Steve got knocked onto the door, which was now hanging on the side, dragging the street. Ultron blew Steve onto a car, then jumped up onto the top of the truck. You shot shards at him but he dodged them, coming closer to you. He grabbed you by the neck and hoisted you up in the air, you struggled to breathe, and managed to get your hand wrapped around his arm, freezing, causing him to startle and drop you on the truck, gasping for breath.

"What did you do to me! What are you?" He yelled, but you never answered because Steve jumped back onto him and heavy punches. By the time you were able to stand, Nat had dropped Steve's shield off and he was whacking Ultron with it.

You and Steve traded blows with Ultron. He tossed you aside and you managed to slip into the truck with the cradle, knowing Nat was on her way to do the same thing. You saw Nat jump in and run over to you. "They're gonna lift the truck. The bots." Just as you said it, they did it.

"I have a clean shot." You heard Clint say.

"Negative, Ally and I are still inside."

"What are you- "

"Just be ready." Nat said. You saw Clint pull the jet on front of the truck, opening it up. You and Nat both hung on to the cradle for dear life as it slid out of the truck and landed into the jet. You made it in the jet, but Nat didn't, Ultron had her. Steve ordered you to get it back to the tower, even after Clint argued with him. You knew you had to do it, that Nat would be okay.

"She's gonna be fine Clint, I promise. Ultron took her to Sokovia. We get her back." You told him. He nodded, never taking his eyes off the sky.

Bucky's POV

Bucky was in the gym when he got the notification from Bruce that Ally had returned, and that she was in the lab. He walked as fast as he could without drawing attention to himself. When he entered the lab he saw Ally and Clint leaning over a giant box, well it looked more like a coffin, trying to get it open.

"Ally." He choked out. He walked up to her and stopped, eyes wide when he saw the deep purple bruises on her neck and the gash on her face. "What's wrong?" She asked him. He just pointed to her neck. She realized what he was looking at and her eyes widened. "Bucky I'm okay, I just forgot to heal it. Ultron had me. I'm okay really. See?" She said, holding her hand over her throat, the bruises disappearing, along with the one on her head. She held her hand out to him, and he closed the gap in two steps, not caring if Tony or Bruce saw him. He wrapped his arm around her and breathed in her scent from her hair.

"Hey, I'm okay. I'm sorry, I didn't want you to see that." She whispered. He nodded and pulled back, looking over her one more time to make sure she was okay.

She sat down in a chair and pulled one out for Bucky to sit in next to her. She turned and started listening to Tony and Bruce banter, when Tony threw Jarvis back up in the middle of the room.

"Hey J man, missed ya." She told him.

"Hello Miss Allison, it is good to be back." The AI greeted.

"So, you want me to help you put Jarvis into this thing?" Bruce asked, as if it was the craziest thing in the world.

"No, Of course not." Tony started. "I wanna help you put Jarvis in this thing."

Bruce looked over at Ally, pleading with her to help. "I'm assuming you already know how this ends up?" She nodded. "Why didn't you tell us?"

She smirked. God, he loved it when she did that. "Because, when I know something is gonna happen, something good, I just kinda roll with it, let everyone find out on their own, tickles my fancy." Bucky hid his smirk as Tony rolled his eyes at her, which caused her to kick him in the shin.

"Ouch buttercup." He told her. She pouted and blew him a kiss. That didn't settle well with Bucky.

Ally was pacing in front of the cradle, she had called it, when Steve came in, with two other people Bucky didn't recognize. "I'm only gonna say this once."

"How bout Non-ce." Tony shot back.

"Shut it down!" Steve yelled.

"Nope, not gonna happen."

"You don't know what you're doing." Steve reasoned. "And you do?" Bruce shot back. "She's not in your head?"

"Steve, I know what I'm doing." Ally said, defending the scientists. His face softened.

"I know you're angry." The woman said, stepping to the side of Steve. "Oh, were way past that." Bruce told her. "I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade."

Everyone started arguing and Ally pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing heavily. Bucky wasn't sure he wanted to stay in this room much longer. There was a woosh around the room and the boy had unplugged the machine. Then the floor fell out from underneath him with a gunshot from Clint and everything went to shit after that.

Steve threw his shield at Tony but he blocked it with a gauntlet, shooting Steve backwards. When Steve went to Tony again, Ally was standing in front of him, pushing on his chest. "Steve, stop." She said sternly. He looked down her and his jaw locked. "I can't Ally." She rolled her eyes and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look down at her. "Do you trust me?" She asked him. Steve glanced up at Tony, then back at her, nodding. "Then stop. I know what I'm doing."

They didn't get a chance to do anything else because Thor came out of nowhere and landed on the cradle, striking it with lightning. What exploded out of it was something Bucky never imagined seeing. He saw Ally smile, and then the being, that's what he was calling it, attacked Thor, and got thrown through the glass in the other room. Everyone ran toward it, ready for a fight, watching as the being saw himself in the reflection for the first time.

He turned and came back to the group and apologized for the outburst. Thor started explaining something about Infinity Stones and Bucky didn't understand it. The being looked to Anna. "You've been waiting for me haven't you." Anna nodded and smiled. "I have. It's nice to meet you Vision."

Ally's POV

You listened to Vision explain Ultron and his opinions on what they needed to do next. You smiled when he picked up Thor's hammer and handed it to him, disbelief filling the room.

"Three minutes. Get what you need." Steve ordered.

Bucky pleaded with you to let him go, and with serious talk with Steve, you both decided to say yes. You weren't sure he should be around guns, but with the threat of Wanda gone, you thought it would be okay, but he was not to get near Ultron. He entered the armory in his black tactical pants and vest, the one he wore when he was the soldier. You didn't even know he still had it. He looked uncomfortable in it, and you wished you had something else for him to wear, but with short notice you didn't.

You strapped your guns into their holsters, knives too, and you also noticed that he went for knives and a long range semi-automatic. He twirled a knife in his hand and you gulped. Why did he have to make it so damn sexy. You looked away before he could catch you staring and headed to the jet.

You felt Bucky tense next to you on the jet, listening to Steve's pep talk.

"Ultron knows we're coming. Odds are we'll be riding into heavy fire. That's what we signed up for, but the people of Sokovia, they didn't. So, our priority is getting them out. All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not gonna happen today. But we can do our best to protect them, and we can get the job done. We find out what Ultron's been building, we find Romanoff, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters. That we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right."

You were smiling at Steve for another proud moment, and Bucky looked over at you. "So, I see he's still great at giving speeches." He whispered. You chuckled and nodded. "Well, I would think he had a lot of practice, what with the punching Hitler like forty-seven times."

Getting people to evacuate Sokovia was easy, there was just so many of them. Wanda was using her powers to make everyone think they had to leave, while you, Bucky, Steve, Pietro and Clint helped everyone exit the city. Bruce went to get Nat, and Thor and Tony went to see Ultron.

"Steve they're never gonna all make it out in time." You told him. You knew how this ended. He nodded, still trying to usher everyone. "I know, but we have to try." You heard the sound of the hundreds of murder bots scraping on the ground and shook your head and gave a heavy sigh. "Okay. Murder bot time." You said, finding Bucky. "Get ready." You told him. His mouth dropped when a spear of ice slid out from your hand. "New powers?" Bucky asked you. You smiled. "No, I just like to save my tricks for a party." You said as you lodged the spear in the neck of a bot. "This isn't a party Ally." Steve said from behind you.

You turned and shot a shard out of your other hand into the head of a bot behind Steve. "Aw, Steve, not having fun?" You asked in a sing song voice as you backed away with a hop in your step.

The city started shaking and you groaned. You had hoped you arrived soon enough to stop Ultron but guess not. "Shit."

You got hit from behind and landed into the side of a car. You groaned as you stood, seeing Steve in almost the same situation on top of another car. You saw Bucky out of the corner of your eye, pulling a bot apart.

"Stark, you worry about bringing the city back down safely, the rest of us have one job. Tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt them back. You get killed, walk it off." You shot a glare at Steve and rolled your eyes. The bots weren't stopping. It was like you killed five, five more appeared. You pulled out your guns and started taking some in the sky down. Bucky's back was at yours in an instant, your guns pointing up and it felt good. You turned to him and smiled, and he gave you a goofy grin.

Running back over to meet Steve, the three of you managed to put a dent in the bots. So to speak. "All clear here." Clint said. "We are not clear! We are very not clear!" Steve yelled. You managed to get a group of people to safety when Steve checked in with Tony.

"What do you got Stark?"

"Well, nothing great. Maybe a way to blow up the city." Steve and Bucky looked to you and you nodded. You knew there was no way around it.

"I'm not leaving this rock with one civilian on it." Steve said.

"I'm not saying we should leave." Nat told him. You felt Bucky's hand tug on yours, just like he did when you met him. You pulled him to you and rested your head on his chest. "We're gonna be okay." He pulled back and looked at you.

"Ally-" You shook your head. "No, you don't get to say things because you think we're gonna die. We're not gonna die. Okay?" He didn't get to say anything else because the roar of the Helicarrier. You ran over to where Steve and Nat were standing, pulling Bucky along with you.

"Fury you son of a bitch." Steve said. "Ooh! You kiss your mother with that mouth?" Fury told him. You laughed and squeezed Bucky's hand. "This is Shield?" Pietro asked. You nodded. "This is what Shield is supposed to be." Steve told him.

"This? Is not so bad."

You rushed to get people loaded on to the Helicarriers. You got several loaded before you heard Tony on the comms. "Alright Avengers, time to work for a living." You all ran toward the Church, meeting up with Thor, Vision and Tony. They weren't stopping and neither were you. You were getting tired; you knew Clint and Nat were too. Anyone that was human really. Bucky and Steve looked like they were having fun, tossing his shield between them.

"If Ultron gets a hand on the core we lose." You watched as the bots gathered around you. "Is that the best you can do!" Thor teased. You sighed and rolled your eyes as more bots appeared. Steve threw him a glance. "You had to ask."

They inched forward and you stepped out in front of everyone, closing your eyes and throwing your hands up, you screamed and thousands of shards flew out, taking down at least half of them, but they kept coming. Really it was amazing how the team worked and fought like a well-oiled machine. Tony, Vision and Thor went outside to fight Ultron. You needed to get out of there. You could tell it was getting harder to breathe. Wanda stayed behind to protect the core while the rest of you headed back to the lifeboats.

You saw the kid the same time a Clint did, which meant Pietro did too. You started to run over there, yelling at Bucky to get on the boat. You made it about the same time as Pietro did, pushing him out of the way of Ultron's bullets. You felt a sharp pain and when you looked down, your side was covered in blood. Your eyes went wide as you looked up at Pietro, unharmed. You could hear Bucky's screams in the background as you fell. You never hit the ground though, Pietro had caught you and raced you back to the lifeboat to get you help. The last thing you saw before the darkness took you was Bucky's tear stained face.
