Bucky runs fast, and Amnesia keeps feeding him energy even though he doesn't really need it. Suddenly some guy in a cat suit comes out of nowhere knocking Amnesia off of Bucky's back and sending them both to the ground. Bucky engages having found his bearings quick enough. Amnesia starts devising a way to help other than putting the "go" back pack on when she sees the helicopter. She narrows her eyes, picturing the particles running through it. She stops it and suddenly their engines are failing and they're falling down leaving Sam to miss when he goes to take it down. Amnesia's heart goes to her throat when she sees him and immediately starts worrying about Sam as well as her James.
Bucky pushes cat-guy off of him and grabs Amnesia, resuming the former piggy-back position and running with it, well, jumping, or falling with style. Amnesia holds on for dear life as Bucky jumps down onto a busy underground street then starts literally running over cars. He crosses into the other lane and shrugs Amnesia off when he sees a 'cycle coming towards them. He grabs it, pushes the guy off, flips it around and pulls Amnesia on behind him before taking off in the other direction it was going in.
"I like this car," she tells him trying to lighten the mood and he chuckles but knows they're not out of the woods yet. The cat guy makes a reappearance and faster than Amnesia can react, Bucky grabs him out of midair. Amnesia reaches to KO him but is thrown off by the tilt of the bike, thankfully the cat is thrown off too. They near the edge of the garage and Bucky throws a bomb onto the top of the archway and it goes off cutting off their pursuers but somehow the cat guy makes it through and pops their back tire sending the bike skidding.
Amnesia screams seeing the cat guy on top of her soldier, claws out ready to kill and thanks every deity out there when Captain America knocks him off of her soldier. She flies over to his side despite the pain from her ankle which is at the least sprained. She holds onto his arm as everyone else joins the party. Rhodes lands and puts up his arms.
"Stand down now," he commands and Amnesia smirks although she knows she's in for it now. A spark of worry goes through her though when she thinks of what this will mean for her soldier and her grip on him tightens. "Congratulations Captain, you're a criminal," Rhodes says and Amnesia realizes Sam too, is in a lot of trouble now. Bucky gives her a nod to say it's all right when they come and put them all in cuffs, she meets his gaze before it gets cut off and then Steve's but Steve's eyes are on the cat guy who seems to be the King of Wakanda.
"Hello Amnesia," Steve says once they force her into a different car than Bucky without handcuffs as everyone that had the intention to suddenly forgot they did and so no one got around to it. She holds out a hand deciding he proved to be an ally at least for now and he warily takes it. The message he receives is clear. She's going to get Bucky out and no one is going to stop her.
"I'm Amnesia," she says, holding her hand out to Sam who takes it without hesitation. She gives him back his memories of her and then gives them all the silent treatment. While Sam stares at her dumbfounded.
"You...you...spilled water all over me?" He finally settles on and Steve gathers that he remembers. She listens as they question the King about his alter ego but makes no move to say anything. Instead she plans out her and Bucky's escape.
"He didn't kill your father Luke Skywalker," Amnesia can't help but defend her soldier though, when Tchalla starts throwing accusations around.
"Have you seen all of those movies yet?" Sam asks.
"I've see two," she pouts.
"Don't give me that look, I'm still pissed at you."
"You got over it five minutes ago," she corrects.
"Guilty until proven innocent. Or innocent until proven guilty, how they do it in your country. Nonetheless, I think you'll find you're wrong. So I ask, how long do you think you can keep your friend safe from me?" He asks smoothly.
"Doesn't every King want to begin a reign with murder of the innocent," Amnesia mutters then hops out of the car first chance she gets. Straightening up in rage when she sees Bucky locked up like he's some sort of psychopath.
"Calm down," Steve says following her and setting a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes are torn from Bucky and she instead fixes Steve with an electrifying glare.
"I'll make Hydra look like Walt Disney's Studios," she mutters darkly yet somehow calmly.
"What's going to happen to him?" Steve asks some guy that looks like he's in charge.
"Same thing that should be happening to you," he replies. "Psychological evaluation, and we'll go from there."
"What about a lawyer?" Steve asks and Amnesia snorts as what's his face laughs and the blonde lady next to him explains who he is.
"That's funny. See their weapons are placed in lock up, we'll write you a receipt. Who's she?"
"No one," Steve explains before Amnesia can.
"I better not look out the window and see anyone flying around in that," Sam says and they follow onto the next room. Steve and Amnesia sparing Bucky one more look.
"It'll be okay."
Amnesia ignores him.
"You'll be provided an office instead of a cell and do me a favor and stay in it," the pompous hedgehog says and Amnesia recognizes Natasha slide up next to Steve.
"For the record this is worse," she says.
"I missed you too," Amnesia says sarcastically.
"He's alive," is Steve's only response. Sam leads her into another room and Steve nods her in his direction, following her.
"Consequences?" Steve questions Tony's phone call.
"Secretary Ross wants you all prosecuted," Tony says. "Nice to see you again Forget Me Not."
"I'm not getting that shield back am I?" Steve asks.
"Technically it's the government's property. Wings too."
"Oh that's cold," Sam says.
"Warmer than jail," is Tony's response.
"I missed more than Sam getting his ass kicked by an ant didn't I?" Amnesia asks and Sam stiffens.
"What?" Steve and Sam chorus.
"Oh yeah I saw," she explains to Sam. "So the compound got broken into and there was this guy and he totally laid Sam out, but get this, he was literally an ant. I got a kick out of that."
"I don't like him," Amnesia murmurs aloud. Eyes glued to the screen showing the interview. They tried to keep them out but Amnesia knows her way around a computer system and every monitor in the building is connected to the system.
"He might be help," Steve says hopefully.
"I don't think so."
"What does he remember?" Steve asks Amnesia.
"I gave him what I had. Except for his missions. He doesn't remember a lot of those...I-I couldn't...he already thinks he's a monster. I couldn't add to that burden. He can guess though. He knows his numbers. They drilled it into him," Amnesia answers shakily.
"And how did you know him?"
"He's my soldier," she says firmly yet faraway.
"Why would the task force release this photo to begin with?" Steve questions moving on.
"Get the word out? Involve as many agents as we can?" The female agent asks and Amnesia scoffs suddenly figuring out where Steve's going with this.
"Right, it's a good way to flush a guy into hiding. Set off a bomb, get your picture taken, you got seven billion people looking for you. The winter soldier."
"I'd bet my last chance at seeing James alive and breathing in front of me that the guy who planed it is sitting right in front of him now," Amnesia says thirty seconds later the power goes out.
"Amn, is this you?" Steve yells.
"No!" She shouts back annoyed at the accusation but lighting the room up like a Christmas tree.
"I need a location agent star eyes," Amnesia demands.
"Sublevel five, east wing."
"Once in a lifetime opportunity boys, you coming?" Amnesia asks letting the lights go out and running out of the room, soon following Steve as he takes the lead.
They reach the floor and see bodies sprawled out. Amnesia frowns but she can guess what happened. "He's got the book," she murmurs to deaf ears. They notice the psychologist on the floor and Steve immediately goes to help. Amnesia recognizes fake injuries though and watches carefully, looking out for her soldier as Steve pins him to a wall and questions him.
Sam runs into Bucky first and Amnesia flies into action catching Bucky's eyes. They widen, recognizing her and he maneuvers himself between her and Sam before taking care of Sam only to be challenged by Steve. Bucky pushes her back, protecting her, but unlike earlier, she knows it's only because of Hydra's programming. He tosses Steve down an elevator shaft and grabs Amnesia, looking for the best escape route. Amnesia knows the only choice she's got is to take him out, and leave them stuck here, or let him get them out of here where will eventually go to sleep and then it will wear off.
Amnesia stays close to him when he's engaged by Tony and Natasha but doesn't help nor hinder except when Natasha falls. She goes over as she catches her breath. "This isn't him right now. The psychologist had a red book with him. Everything on how to handle the winter soldier. Hydra's super soldier rule book. You need to track down the psychologist and see-" Amnesia says quickly but is cut off by the winter soldier deciding it's time to move on. Amnesia looks at Natasha and the widow nods, Amnesia settles a bit, her arms wrapped around the Winter Soldier's neck as he works on getting her out of enemy territory. He drops her when Tchalla engages but it's only a matter of time before they're taking off again.
He leads her to a helicopter and she bites her lip feeling somewhat guilty about leaving Sam and Steve but they fell behind. She could stop him, quite easily in fact, but there's no way to make sure that it's Steve and Sam that find them and not whatever organization that was previously holding them. She realizes Steve is just trying to look out for a friend, not a weapon like everyone else. He doesn't see Bucky as the Winter Soldier, he still retains hope that his friend is still alive, and that's why Amnesia trusts him. She'd never in a million years believe Captain America, the United States' golden boy, would ever choose a former Hydra weapon over the safety of the world, much less the country, but he wasn't Captain America.
Just as James Buchanan Barnes was brainwashed, Steve Rogers was as well, but to the opposite polarity as his friend.
The Winter Soldier starts up the helicopter and is about to lift off when Amnesia spots Steve bursting through a door. "I'm sorry my soldier," Amnesia murmurs in Russian, her hand brushing his cheek as she sucks the energy away from him. Leaving him to slump in the pilot's seat. Steve runs and opens the door pulling his limp body out and allowing Amnesia to follow.
"He'll be fine when he wakes up and I'll explain everything but we need to get out of here," Amnesia says and Steve nods.
