A Prologue - A day ago...
Far south of Mexico... Bucky was in position as he waited for his mission... It was a observation mission for recruitment and his target was... Commander Relic Raider. He watched her arrive riding her Mighty, Magic Black Shadow Steed to the ruins towards her mission. She dismounted as it disappeared into her shadow. Bucky smiled as he thought 'This is the closest I've ever gotten to seeing her in person.'
She looked around then she made eye contact to him, 'Oh shit I wasn't supposed to be seen!'
She caught up to him very quickly as she fought him, only that he kept up with her as her moves cancelled his. He decided at last second to try a different approach.
"Commander I'm not here to kill you." He spoke as they both needed to take a breather.
"I kinda figured that out halfway through our fight," She replied, "We've fought for how long..." She checked her watch, "A hour and a half? Damn... Dude I hadn't fought a guy this long in ages."
Bucky smiled, "You're good Commander, not many can spot me that easily like you can."
She chuckled, "Ah Thanks, I think. Why are you spying on me anyhow?"
"Observation."
She got up as she pinned him to a tree trunk, it surprised him she definitely was a lot more stronger than she looked. She looked serious, dead serious. "For what? Or are you a Fan of mine?"
"The Avengers wants to recruit you, and yes I am a fan of yours." Bucky spoke fast, hoping she'd wouldn't catch the second part. Her face softened as she let him go.
"See that wasn't so bad, Soldier."
"You've heard of me?"
"How can I not? Bucky..." She replied with a sexy smile as her face got closer to his...
Avenger's Tower
"Bucky wake up dude!" said Sam's voice as Bucky woke up in his bedroom in the tower.
"Awe... It was just getting good..." Bucky muttered, sarcastically. "Gee thanks Sam."
"No problem." Sam spoke, "Steve and Sharon got breakfast ready."
"I'll be there." Bucky groaned, as he got ready for breakfast.
"Hey Bucky you got some mail," Said Steve as he handed him both his mail and his breakfast, pancakes with all the fixings.
"Thanks," Bucky spoke accepting them as he then put the food on the table and opened the letter... It was an acceptance letter at the college nearby for G.E.D. course.
"What is it?" Asked Sharon as she looked at the envelope, "Hey this college isn't far."
"I was kinda wanting to keep it to myself, but ah I wanted to get my High School Diploma. Because of the war I never finished it, I think it's time to finish what I started."
"Buck," Spoke Steve, "I'm so proud of you. But how did you decide on to this alone?"
"I got inspired to."
"I sense a who?" teased Sharon, "I don't suppose you're seeing some lady?"
"Not exactly... I've picked up a novel series I put aside for a while."
"Would it have to be that book that was in your pocket that a bullet went through?" Steve asked.
Bucky blushed, "Ah... Maybe."
"What book was it?" Sharon asked.
"It was called 'The Light within the Dark' by Melanie Hansen Aka Commander Relic Raider." Steve said, "I asked Fury about her, apparently she and his niece Nikki are good friends."
"Fury has a niece?" asked Sharon, "Well I never expected to hear that."
"Yeah, Niki sent me a dossier of the lady and her twin sister."
"Sister? Did I hear the lady has a Sister?" Sam asked, interested.
"You heard right, Melissa and Melanie are twin sisters and they were both enhanced with a scrapped unfinished Super Soldier serum at it got completed over the years. A Cult group like Hydra tried to get the girls to convert to their side but somehow it always-"
"Backfired in their faces." Bucky finished Steve's sentence.
"Yeah, Melissa is working with Alpha flight using the code name Snow Mare. She can grow wings out of her shoulder blades."
"Ow that sounds like it hurts, would that mean she's a inhuman?"
"I would think so, she does have the gene but her twin doesn't. From what Nikki briefed me about her Melanie's fine with it."
At that second the tower's Alarms went off as they rushed to where the threat was as they saw a man with green skin... Bucky knew who he was as glared at Zavier who was using the time stone on Vision turning him back into a clumps of vibranium.
"Who are you?" Steve demanded.
"My plans do not involve you." Zavier said taking the mind stone, "But for now take a nap." Zavier used the mind stone to knock them all out then he escaped with his men. Bucky woke up first as he helped everyone out.
"Steve, Commander Relic Raider and her Sister are in danger."
"You don't have to tell me that twice," Steve spoke as he yelled out "Avenger Assemble!"
Wakanda, Hours ago
Bucky and the gang tracked Zavier down to the borders of Wakanda, thanks to T'Challa informing them he asked told her if she wanted to do an archaeological dig in Wakanda she'd have to go through a tomb of trials that was used to train his bodyguards. Her sister Melissa was already down as Sam picked her up in his arms.
"Whatever you do don't call dibs on her." Bucky spoke to Sam.
"And how do you know that, Buck?" Sam teased.
Bucky tried to avoid answering that with, "Just wait for the ladies reaction first."
"Ah my chance to be Prince Charming eh?"
"T'Challa was a prince he's a king remember?" Bucky joked.
"Fine with me." Sam said as he noticed Bucky looked nervous, "Dude I've never seen you nervous on a last minute mission before."
"I've read all her books, and I got Jarvis to hack into CAN SHIELD's database on her."
"Wait isn't that kinda creepy of you?"
"Not as much as Zavier is to her. The short version is that they've been fighting for years and she hates his guts."
"Ahhhh!" yelled out a Woman from a distance as the gang closed in to where it was coming from. They took cover as they looked in horror Zavier using the Mind and the Time Stone on the Commander.
"I will take you back to become the woman of my desires." Zavier spoke as Bucky felt his anger grow ready to explode.
"Like Hell She Won't! Zavier!" He yelled out as he ran to Zavier as he used the time stone to his arm then the mind stone on him...
