For All Intents and purposes of this story. I will only be putting the pronunciations of some of the other languages I am using in this story.
No offense is intended by it and doesn't necessarily reflect the views of the writer.
This is a crossover. Avengers x Twilight story.
Marie in this case is Bella's aunt.
This is Bucky x Marie.
No cheating fic. Though there will be several misunderstandings.
My chest ached as I quickly made my way through the tower, everyone had gone off on an important mission and had yet to figure out that I was gone.
I had been a part of the Avengers initiative since the beginning, along with Agent Coulson and Director Fury.
I was there helping Director Fury, and Natasha with Tony, when he was slowly being killed by the heavy metal poisoning. I provided Fury with the Lithium Dioxide that he handed over to Romanoff to help Tony until he could discover the new element to help him change within the Arc Reactor on his chest.
Every step of the way, including when Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D were compromised by Hydra.
Which led to us finding out Bucky Barnes was very much alive and under Hydra's mind control.
At first, we were all very wary of him, but then, Steve convinced me to give him a chance, and even though it took me a while to relax around him. He and I eventually formed an acquaintanceship of sorts.
It was that acquaintanceship that would lead us to form an alliance, and then camaraderie, before it turned into something more, but I am getting ahead of myself by stating this.
Skipping too many things and memories as I do.
The only thing clear to me now, is that it turned out that that chance would only lead me to the heartbreak I felt now.
And I don't know what hurts more. Knowing, or seeing it all collapse before my eyes.
Even as I slowly made my way out of the massive compound building, I knew there was a chance that I would run into one of them but how could they, if they were currently fighting amongst themselves over events created by someone they knew nothing about?
For a moment I debated whether the decision to leave was a good one or a bad one.
"No, you have to do this. This is what Wanda, Nat, and I agreed was the best thing I could do. This will be good for me. It has to be." I muttered to myself as I rolled my two suitcases out the door.
Nothing hurt more than to throw my suitcases into the back of my SUV as I drove down the long driveway.
"This will be good for me. This will be good for me." I chanted as I finally crossed the gate and slowly made my way onto the highway.
As I got on the highway, I finally allowed the tears that I had been keeping at bay to fall, realizing how bad it hurt to be alone for the second time in my life.
I had been hurt before but never like this. Not this deep.
I had allowed myself to open up, and this was the consequence of doing so.
As I listened to the newest music that played on the radio, hurt coursed through my veins as I drove.
When the call from Nick Fury suddenly appeared on my screen I immediately answered the phone, tapping my Bluetooth earpiece as I drove.
"Agent Marie Barton, report location." He said, in a no nonsense tone.
"Director, my location is not important any longer. I have already put in my two weeks notice, and asked for a transfer. As of this morning, I am no longer working with the Avengers, and I am on vacation." I replied in a calm tone.
"Transfer denied, Miss. Barton. You know as well as I do that without you the team falls apart, and you know it. Sure, Tony can do a few of the things you can, but no one else is trained like you. Not even Natasha. I know that these past few days there has been bad blood between you and Agent Barnes, and Carter but this doesn't mean the team doesn't need you. The world needs you. You can't let everyone down over a petty situation." He said, sighing.
"There is no bad blood between Agent Barnes, or Carter. I just need time away from all of this situation." I replied, tiredly. "There is no way around it. I need time to wrap my head around everything." I firmly stated.
"I will take this as your confirmation to stay in New York, and allow you three weeks paid vacation. Though I do need to keep in touch, you have no need to answer anyone else besides Agent Hill. Aside from that, forget everyone else." He finally said.
"Duly noted." I replied as I finally crossed state lines, crossing into Connecticut.
"We will miss you, Agent. Take care of yourself." He finally said.
"I will." I sighed, pushing the small button on the earpiece to hang up.
I traveled for eight hours straight, playing music in the background, to allow me to calm myself.
I cried, sang, and screamed when needed to, until the pain I had kept inside me, all but faded away into a dull ache.
Nat had promised me that she and Wanda wouldn't say anything, even Sam who had found out why I was leaving agreed to keep the secret.
Funny how people you least expect come through for you when certain situations arise.
No doubt, the situation would grow more farfetched as it unraveled. What with Steve and Sam being close friends with me and James 'Bucky' Barnes, oh yeah it was going to be like standing in the eye of the storm.
I almost groaned at the thought as I pulled into a hotel for the night, hoping that turning my location off and changing my cellphone number had been enough to throw them off my trail for a while, but I knew that if they needed to, they would send the best of the best to find me, and I was counting on that to help me get out of this state.
My body was sore, tired, and I was mentally and emotionally exhausted as the man sitting on the front desk slid my room key across the desk towards me.
The only room they had left was one with double beds in it. Both that it mattered as I dragged myself up the stairs to the second floor.
I had only just finished showering and begun to fall asleep when my cellphone began to ring shrilly, interrupting the little peace I had found in that room.
As I picked up the phone drowsily, I failed to check the number of who was calling as I flipped it open and pulled it towards my ear.
"Erm, hell—hello?" I answered, yawning.
"Arie? Oh thank God you answered." Nat sighed, as a door slammed in the background.
"Nat? What is it? What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up on the bed, fully alert now.
"Ari, it's Bucky." She said, sighing tiredly.
Panic filled my senses as I swallowed thickly. Taking a few deep breaths, before I summoned the courage to ask. "What happened? Is he alright?" I asked looking down at my free hand.
"Relax, nothing bad happened to him. He just— he just locked himself in his room when we arrived here to realize you had taken your things and left. Steve, Tony, and Clint are besides themselves, and are trying to find you as we speak…" She explained, as a loud thud was heard in the background.
"What in the hell was that?" I asked surprised.
She growled, before replying in Russian. "Eto on. On prosto voshel v trenirovochnuyu komnat." She replied somberly. ( It's him. He just walked into the training room.)
Another door slammed in the background before another voice was heard.
"Eto yeye?" A familiar smooth masculine voice asked. (Is that her?)
As I heard his voice I gasped in response, feeling my eyes well up at the sound of his voice, bringing back the memories I didn't want to think about.
"Net, ukhodi." She snarled. (No, go away.)
'Yes, keep me away from him.' I thought, as I silently cried.
"It is her. Give me the phone, Natasha." He growled back.
"No! Go rot in hell, Barnes." She growled.
"Nat, I need to speak to her, please. She needs to know." He begged.
"What does she need to know? That you cheated on her with Sharon, who also happens to be Steve's girlfriend? I think she already knows that Bucky, she doesn't need you to remind her of it." Nat retorted, icily.
"Oh for fuck sakes! It was a fucking kiss! I didn't do anything with her! I didn't even touch her. She fucking initiated it, and I pushed her off me." He growled.
"You pushed her off after Marie saw you. Not before, Barnes. The fact, that her brother Clint and Tony haven't castrated you is because they know if something happens to you, it would hurt her, but you fucking burned a lot of people with your actions, and if she left, it was because she needed time away from you." She finally said exasperated.
As I listened to them argue, I slapped a hand into my mouth to keep my sobs from escaping my lips. Tears flowing harder and faster than before. I couldn't stop them, even though I thought that I had, in the car before I arrived here.
Before I could hear anything else, I hung up the phone, turning it off soon after.
Letting the sobs escape once more.
