Another chapter today. It will be a little shorter then the last few but I wanted to keep it from getting to long. I hope you all are enjoying this story.
"Hello Buck. How are you doing?" asked Steve.
"Steve, where am I?" asked Bucky.
"Your home Bucky, your home." answered Steve.
S/N
After Steve finished checking on Bucky he went to Phil's old office so he could contact Command. Natasha joined him. When they were behind closes doors he wrapped her up in a tight embrace.
"We did it." Steve stated.
"Yes we did. Lets rendezvous with Tony and get Bucky to Wakanda. Hopefully he will not have to stay there that long." commented Natasha. "Come on we need to speak with Fury."
Steve made the connection and saw Fury and Coulson "Fury, Phil."
"Captain good job on the extraction and the action against Hydra. Both the Secretary of Defense and the AG were impressed." commented Fury. "Natasha expect a request from Secretary Davis for you to do some training for his Special Operations guys. He was really impressed with you."
"Well this was my last mission till the baby is a few months old. So he can sends some guys over." Natasha commented "Let me guess though Ross could careless. He will probably try to blame us for all the damage caused, not that there was all that much. The police chief was happy with us. They hate Hydra just as much as we do but probably as much as Steve."
"We already got a request for help checking old Hydra bases for activity from the Austria government. Hill is working with their Minister of Defense on joint operations." Fury commented.
Phil jumped in "Steve Tony will meet you at the airbase in Riyadh. Once you arrive transfer Barnes to the Quinjet. Shuri has a team ready for Barnes. Banner already sent the data she would need."
"Thanks, the sooner he is back to himself and free of any triggers the happier I'll be." sated Steve.
"Captain don't worry, the AG is on his way to the White House to brief the President." Fury informed Steve.
After a few more words Steve ended the connection. He sat down on the couch and leaned back. Natasha sat beside him, taking his hand and laying her head on his shoulder.

When the Bus landed at the airbase they were directed to a secluded hanger were the Avenger's Quinjet was waiting. Steve and Rhodes who was back in his suit went and got Bucky out of the holding cell.
"OK, Bucky we are changing aircraft. You will need to remain in your restraints till we are sure you are safe. This is for your safety as well as ours." commented Steve.
"No problem, Where are we going?" asked Bucky.
"To a secure locations were doctors and scientist are going to help you get better. They are also going to see if your metal arm can be removed safely and fit you with a life like one." Steve told him.
Steve opened the cell and Bucky walked out. Both Steve and Rhodes took a arm and escorted him to the ramp of the plane. Waiting for them was Simmons and Fitz who would be going with them to Wakanda. They would be helping with building a new arm for Bucky.
Natasha and Sam had already deplaned, taking the teams bags to the Quinjet. They were greeted by Tony and T'Challa.
"Welcome Red, put your bags on the Quinjet and as soon as our guest arrives we will get going." said Tony.
Natasha just gave him a glare for the red comment. She followed Sam up the ramp and was met by to hugs. "What are you two doing here?" asked Natasha.
"We missed you and dad, so we talked Tony into letting us come." said an incent looking Sarah.
"Well I'm happy to see you but not sure how happy I should be or how your father will be. Since this is technically a mission." Natasha told then.
"Well technically you finished your mission we are just giving you a ride." explained James.
Natasha just glared at them that made both take a step back and slump in the nearest seats.
"Your father and I missed you two and I am glad to see you. Since you are already here there is nothing I can do but you are to stay away from Bucky." both nodded.

Steve walked down the ramp and saw Tony and T'Challa waiting in their gear. "Tony, T'Challa glad to see you two. Lets get Bucky secured and on our way."
Tony took Steve's place and he and Rhodes lead Bucky up the ramp. They had him sit in a seat towards the back and secured him to the floor. Steve followed and watched before he noticed his two kids toward the front sitting in seats looking like they knew they were in trouble. Steve walked to them and pulled them both in a hug.
"Do I even want to know how you two ended up here?" asked Steve.
James looked at his father and saw he wasn't mad "Well we kind of talked Tony into it since this was just a pick up."
"Yea we kind of used the excuse that this would be a good time to learn to fly the Quinjets." Sarah looked at her father with puppy dog eyes.
Natasha saw the look her daughter was giving Steve and knew he would cave. "We will talk about this later. Now if one of you is suppose to be flying don't you think you should be in the cockpit."
Both got up and started getting the Quinjet ready for departure. Tony walked up to Steve and Natasha.
"I know you two may not be happy with me but hear me out. If something did go wrong I figure you would need all of use to safely subdue Barnes. So the twins are to remain in the cockpit and fly. Both flew part of the way down here and are naturals. One of us can keep an eye on them but I think they can get us back safely." explained Tony.
Steve looked at Natasha and then turned to Tony "OK Tony you are off the hook this time. They need to learn and this part is not dangerous."
20 minutes later Sarah lifter off with her brother in the copilot seat and her mother behind her watching. Half way there James took over.
While the kids flew Steve went back to set across from Bucky. Tony and Rhodes still in their suits sat a couple seats down from them with Simmons and Fitz close to the Cockpit with T'Challa.
"So Punk, who are the kids?" asked Bucky.
Steve smirked "Junior Avengers and both could kick your butt so I would be nice to them."
A surprised Bucky ask "You got kids on your team?"
"They just train, no missions. They are doing their pilot training right now so you better hope your seatbelt is secure." Seve said while smiling at a pale Bucky. Steve knew Bucky hated flying.
Tony and Rhodes had to close their face plates to hid their laughter. T'Challa heard what was said and went to the cockpit and whispered to Natasha what Steve said. Natasha said something to James then held on to the back of both their chairs tightly.
The plane took a sudden drop before rising quickly. It did it a couple more times before flying smoothly. Steve looked over at Bucky and saw a green tent to the color of his face.
"You OK Buck you look a little green." asked an amused Steve. Bucky would have glared but was feeling to sick to his stomach.
They arrived a few hours later. Sarah took them in for a landing. When the ramp was down Tony and Rhodes got Barnes and lead him down the ramp behind Steve. the others following behind them. Okoye and a Dora Milaje guard waited.
"Captain Rogers welcome back. We have everything prepared if you would follow us we will escort you and your friends." Okoye commanded.
The Dora Milaje formed two lines on either side of them as they headed to see Shuri and the doctors. Bucky was a little worried but knew Steve would never betray him. They arrived 30 minutes later at the lab Shuri prepared or Bucky.
"OK, we will be keeping SGT Barnes here till we can remove any triggers that Hydra had placed in his mind. We will be doing short sessions as to not over stress SGT Barnes. When he is not being treated for his safety and ours he will be put in cryo. SGT Barnes do not worry my cryo chambers are light years ahead of Hydra's. Once the triggers are removed we will work towards replacing his left arm with one that looks just like his right. This way he will blend in better in public. My understanding is that Dr. Fitz has done this before to Director Coulson." explained Shuri.
"Yes he has an artificial hand that is as good as his real hand. I am still looking at ways to improve it." Fitz answered.
"Good we can work together and see what can be done to improve the research you have already completed." replied Shuri.
Simmons moved closer to Fitz. This did not go unnoticed by the others, who would surely be teasing her later.
After tell Bucky he would see him tomorrow Steve, Natasha and the kids headed to their suit to catch up. The twins spent the night telling their parents what they had been up to over the last week. After a while they got something to eat. They ended up falling asleep on the couch while watching a movie.
Over the next week Bucky went through test and treatments to free him from Hydra. He would spend the next few months in Wakanda. Simmons and Fitz would be staying and would be catching a ride back with T'Challa once they had a new arm for Bucky.
Steve and the others that were heading home joined the King, Queen and their children at a formal dinner. Many of the council and others from Wakanda were there too. They all had a good time but Steve wished Bucky could be there too.
Natasha sensing her husbands thoughts took his had and whispered "Steve try to enjoy your self. Bucky would not want you to mope because he can't be here. He will be free one day the we can celebrate with him."
"Thanks I love you Nat." Steve said before giving her a quick kiss.
The next morning those leaving boarded the Avenger Quinjet and left for home. James and Sarah got to fly again. When they arrived home it was early morning. Wanda and Vision met them when they came down the ramp. Steve knew something was wrong by Wanda's face.
OK so Bucky is safe in Wakanda and the twins manage to talk their way on the trip. Bucky will be spending time in Wakanda but Steve knows it is for the best and he has to go home with his family. Wonder what bad news Wanda has for Steve.
