They made it down there and there were dead soldiers everywhere. Chris picked up a gun and looked around for Bucky.
"Help me." The man that was interviewing Bucky struggled to say and Steve ran over to him.
"Steve."
"I know." Steve said and lifted him up off the ground before pinning him to the wall with his feet off the ground.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" Steve asked him.
Chris walked into the holding cell continuing to look for Bucky and his metal fist came flying at her head. Chris ducked just in time, so it would go through the concrete wall. She tried to hit him, but he blocked her blow. She pulled out the gun and aimed it at his head but was unable to fire before he knocked it out of her hand. He kicked her into the wall and then grabbed her neck and flipped her to the ground.
"Chris!" Steve yelled still holding up the man.
Steve let go of him and went after Bucky knowing he was the only one that could take his hits. Sam was pushed into the wall and left unconscious. Chris pulled herself up just as Steve caught Bucky's punch by the elevator. He tried to push him back, but Bucky just punched him through the elevator doors and Steve was gone.
"Steve!" Chris yelled and tried to run for the elevator, but her head was slammed into the wall causing her to fall to the ground unconscious.
"Chris. Come on, Chris. We gotta wake up." Sam said urgently to shake Chris awake and she woke up and ran to the elevator. Chris looked down and saw Steve climbing up the shaft.
"Go!" Steve yelled, and Chris smiled before following Sam up the stairs after the man that had done this to Bucky.
"You get him, I'll get Bucky." Chris yelled after Sam as they split on the stairway.
Chris saw Natasha and Sharon taking turns going at Bucky. Bucky had thrown Sharon onto a table and now had Natasha pinned to another with his hand around her throat. Chris pulled out the gun she had and aimed a shot for his arm. She knew it would ricochet off, but at least he had let go of Tash. Then the prince ran up and decided it was his turn.
"Tash." Chris said and ran over to her knowing that the Prince wasn't her biggest fan either.
"I'm good." She said with a cough.
"What are you doing here?" Sharon said and grabbed Chris' hand to pull her away from the fight.
"I'm stopping Bucky from killing you two." Chris defended.
"You are pregnant. Get out of here." Sharon said trying to push her away.
"No, the prince will kill him."
"We will make sure he doesn't."
They all turned to see how the fight was going and saw that T'Challa was standing there looking for Bucky who had disappeared.
"You two should go look for him."
"And you?" Tash asked.
"You guys are right. I need to get away from the action." Chris said and shook my head.
"Be careful. I'll see you at the compound after all of this is over." She said and hugged her.
"Yeah." Chris said and watched as they walked away.
She walked towards the door and suddenly Sam had a hold of her arm.
"Come on." Sam said and led her to a warehouse where Steve and Bucky were.
Chris saw Steve and ran over to him to hug him.
"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" Steve asked.
"I'm fine so I'm guessing the baby is too. Bucky?"
"He's over here. He was knocked out when the helicopter went into the river." Steve said and led her over to Bucky.
"Please tell me you weren't on the helicopter."
"Maybe."
Chris sighed and rolled her eyes walking away.
"Keep an eye on him." Chris heard Steve say to Sam before jogging after her.
"What's wrong?" Steve asked.
"Are we ready for this?" Chris asked looking up at him with sad eyes.
"Ready for what?"
"Parenthood? You're falling off of helicopter pads into water, fighting with enhanced individuals. We're constantly chasing terrorists and saving the world. That's a dangerous world to be having kids in. Are we ready to give up this life for children?"
"Who said we'd have to give up this life?"
"We can't have a child and know that one day we could not come home from a mission. Leaving that child without one or both of us."
Steve didn't say anything.
"We either have to give up the child or the life. And I don't think you could give up the life."
"Who said that I wouldn't give up the life?"
"Me, because I know you. You can't sit back and watch someone get bullied. Even if it means saving yourself or your family. It would drive you crazy."
"And you can?"
"If I knew it would keep my family safe, I believe so."
"Then know that I can too."
"Hey guys." Sam said, and they walked over to see Bucky waking up.
"Steve?" Bucky asked looking at Steve.
"Which Bucky is it this time?" Steve asked.
"Your mom's name was Sarah. You would wear newspapers in your shoes to make you look taller." Buck said with a chuckle.
"You can't read that in the museum." Steve said.
"And like that we trust him?" Chris asked skeptically.
"What did I do?" Bucky asked.
"Enough." Steve said.
"You knocked Sam out. Threw me over your shoulder and to the ground. Knocked me out after that. And dropped Steve down an elevator shaft. Oh, don't forget almost killed Tony, Natasha, and Sharon." Chris said making sure it wasn't going to be brushed off like Steve had wanted it to.
"I knew that this would happen. Everything HYDRA put in my head is still there, no matter how hard I try to get away from it. All he did was say the goddamn words." Bucky said dropping his face in his good hand.
"Who is "he"?" Steve asked.
"I don't know."
"The bombing, the frame job. All of that was to get 10 minutes alone with you. Why?" Steve asked.
"I don't know." Bucky said with frustration in his voice.
"Well, then you're of no use to us. We can turn you over to the authorities." Chris said turning around.
"Chris." Steve said trying to get me to turn back.
"Wait, he wanted to know about Siberia." Bucky said, and she turned around to walk back up to him.
"What about Siberia?"
"He wanted to know where I was kept."
"Why?" Steve asked.
"There are more. More Winter Soldiers." He said looking up at Steve.
"That would have been really nice to know." Chris snapped.
"Chris, calm down." Steve said softly.
"I am calm!"
"I killed the man that created the super soldier serum. They injected it into other subjects and we trained them to be like me, but they lost control. They attacked the doctors and guards. Killed them all." Bucky said not fazed by her yelling.
"Who were they?" Steve asked.
"The most elite death squad in HYDRA history. That was before the serum."
"Did they turn out like you?" Sam asked.
"Worse."
"Could the doctor control them?" Steve asked.
"Enough."
"He told me he wanted to see an empire fall."
"And with them he could do it. They speak thirty languages. They can hide right under our nose. They could destroy a whole country in one night, and you'd have no warning."
"This would be easier if we had the whole team." Chris said to Steve.
"We could call Tony." Steve suggested.
"He'd never believe us." Sam said.
"He'd believe you." Steve said looking at Chris.
"Even if he did believe us there's no telling if the accords would allow him to help us." Chris said.
"So, we're on our own." Steve said with a sigh.
"I know a few people we could talk to." Chris said with a smile.
"Okay." Steve said, and she pulled out her phone.
"Hello?" Came the answer after a few rings.
"Clint, how do you feel about a little reunion?" She asked with a smile.
"Will I need my bow?"
"Yeah, and I need you to pick something up on the way."
"Name it."
"Wanda's under house arrest. I would like her to be involved too."
"Does this have anything to do with that paper you won't sign and James Barnes?"
"Very good chance it does."
"I'm in."
"Awesome."
"I'll send you the address." Chris said and hung up.
"One down, one to go." She said smiling at the boys.
"Who don't you know?" Sam asked.
"Hank Pym," Chris greeted.
"Christine Carter, or I guess it's Rogers now."
"If I recall, your technology broke into my base and destroyed my wings last year. I think it's time we return the favor."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hank, I don't care what happened, but now we need your help."
"How can I assist the Avengers?"
"Tell your boy we want to meet."
"I'll get the word to him."
"Nice doing business with you, Hank."
"Anytime Mrs. Rogers." Hank said and hung up.
"That's two. Sam, I'll let you go meet him. You guys can hash out that embarrassment."
"Really? We just had to go there?"
"See ya." She smiled, and he walked out.
"You and I need to get Bucky to the rendezvous." Steve smiled.
"One more phone call." Chris said holding up her finger and dialing one more person.
"Why are you calling me?" Sharon said over the phone.
"I need our things. Text me a meet." Chris said and hung up before they could trace a call.
"Who was that?" Steve asked.
"Sharon. Come on let's go."
