Mary was rushing inside the tents of the soldiers that just came back from the fight, they just attacked a base not far by from their camp site and of course Bucky was along the men fighting. She just prayed that he didn't come dead.

She heard coughing and turned around and saw Bucky coming in the tents helping another man inside who was much worse than Bucky.

She rushed to their sides and another nurse went to their side and started to tend for the other solider as Mary grabbed Bucky's arm and leaded him to another bad as she made him sit down and she pulled up a stool and started to get her bandages out and was looking at Bucky's face

"I'm good don't worry, focus on the others" Bucky coughed as he tried pushing Mary away but she ignored him and unbuttoned his shirt and Bucky started to chuckle

"If you wanted to undress me, at least buy me a drink" Bucky chuckled as Mary gave him a look and shook her head

"That girlfriend you told me about won't like the fact that you're flirting with another woman, Barnes" Mary said as Bucky sighed

"I can't stay away from you, I hope she knows that"

"James... I'm pregnant remember" She whispered to him and he narrowed his eyes and shook his head

"I know, I promised I would look after you while we're here and I'm keeping that promise until Steve is here.. Then you'll have the both of us" Bucky smiled as Mary shook her head

"I'm not your responsibility" She said as Bucky shook his head

"Mary, stop.. I promise I'll look after you and the baby, until the end" He said as he went in to kiss Mary on the cheek as she smiled softly but went on with her work.

"Lily's calling!" Riley said as she ran to Fury with her phone as Fury quickly picked up the phone and he heard Lily's cries

"Lily! What's going on?"

Riley saw that Fury was nodding as fast as he could, he was almost panicking since the girl he raised ever since she was four was now in danger from HYDRA as well, he knew Coulson and his team were also there for her but it seemed like everyone was in danger in their own way

"I promise I'll get to you as soon as I could Lily, just stay with Skye if you can.. What?! Lily you can't be" Fury whispered as his eyes widen and he sighed and shook his head

"I'll get to you, I'm going to protect the both of you" Fury promised as he hung up and placed down the phone and shook his head looking at Riley

"Lily is pregnant with Agent Ward's child" He said as Riley's eyes widen and Fury got up

"I need to make sure her and the baby are safe" He said ready to get up and walk off but Riley called

"We need you too Fury"

Fury was angry and wanted to just punch a wall but he slammed his fist on the table and looked up and sighed, he was about to ask someone for something he wished he could do himself

"Rogers!" Fury called and it was Natasha who answered him

"Which one?"

"The Viper!" Fury called as moments later S.J came into the main room and was in the process of putting on his shirt and soon Natasha came in with her hair messed up and her bra straps hanging on her shoulders and Riley's eyes widen and S.J just noticed and shrugged

"We were about to, until Fury called" S.J said as Natasha blushed and sat down on the desk trying to fix her hair as Fury shook his head but looked at S.J

"I wouldn't ask this from you, but I need some of your team members to help someone out.. Please she means the world to me she's like my daughter" Fury said as S.J raised his eyebrows and was about to say no, that he wanted his team members at his side at all the time until Fury spoke the next words

"She's pregnant, I can't be there to protect her and the baby right now.. The baby's father is missing I jus-"

"That's enough.." S.J raised his hand and Natasha looked over at S.J's pained expression, she knew in a way that S.J would never say no.. With a unborn baby involved too he couldn't say no.. It was his rule, He never said no to children.

"I'll send Janet, Sean and Jasper for you, Felix can stay with Hill since he's more technical out of us." S.J said as Fury looked in confusion

"Where are you going?"

"I'm staying with Nat, I'm not letting her go into the lion's den alone with only a facemask" S.J said as Natasha hopped off the desk and made her way to him and he looked softly at her as she touched his cheek

"Thank you" Was all she said before she leaned up and kissed him softly, he wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her in closer before Fury coughed and Nat pulled back despite a groan from S.J

Steve, Sam, Maria, Felix and Riley were making their way in the woods and Steve and Riley stopped for a second before he turned to her and brought her in for a kiss as she relaxed and welcomed the kiss, this was a way of Steve wishing her a good luck before this fight. Steve let go on Riley as she rushed after Sam, Felix and Maria as they were making their way to the building.

Steve knew in this moment Natasha and S.J were making their way into the building themselves disguised as council members and confront Pierce himself. He was worried a bit for Natasha but he knew his son would not let anyone lay a hand on her while he was there.

Steve knew once this battle was over he would have to talk to his son about their time apart from each other, Steve missed so much of S.J's life and he regrets it when he looks at his kid.. He did imagine a life with Mary but that dream died when he went into the ice all those years ago. Now today he felt like a change man and couldn't see himself with a family again.. But meeting and falling for Riley.. Maybe things could change?

He couldn't think of that now, not with all of this happening.

"Ready?" Felix said as he pressed a button and they heard some groans of the men that Riley and Hill were quickly taking out inside the building and made their way quickly to the nearest floor. For being a Snake with the killings and all, Felix was so useful and Steve was quite impressed with the man, he found out that Felix was born a few weeks before S.J in Felix's home country of Germany in a poor family's area but still was a nice child growing up with all of the mess happening after the war

The agents that opened the door looked shocked as Sam, Riley and Maria raised their guns at them as Captain America smirked and looked at them

"Excuse us" He said as the men backed away and Steve and Riley made their way to the desk before Cap looked at the microphone and com before he looked down and sighed. After this speech he won't know if Shield will stand by his side or just hunt him down, but he knew he would have his team on his side.

Riley would be on his side.

Riley grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers together before he looked up at her and she nodded to him before he sighed and pushed the button, allowing him to speak in front of the whole building

"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers. You're heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me and Riley down. But I think it's time to tell the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader." Steve said quietly but he felt Riley squeeze his hand, telling him she would still be there, she secretly prayed that wherever Sharon was.. She would listen and help too.

"The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot.. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been and it's a price I'm willing to pay.. If I'm the only one, then so be it..But I'm willing to bet I'm not." Steve said bravely and in that moment he felt at peace, like he knew that what he spoke was true.

"They took my son and brought him back to life after he passed away, but they wouldn't let him be in peace.. They took him and other children and raised them to be killing machines but they know better, they were brain-washed to kill, it wasn't their faults. If you stand against them you will be against me"

Once he was finished Sam smiled and placed his hand on Riley's shoulder as Riley cheered as Steve stepped away from her

"Did you write that speech or something?" Sam asked as Steve laughed and Riley smiled up at him and Steve saw happiness in those chocolate brown eyes and in that moment he just wanted to hold her.. But right now they had HYDRA to take down.

"Hill, Felix you stay down here and be our eyes and ears.. The three of us will take care of the chips" He said as Felix and Maria nodded and Maria took a seat in the chair ready to get to work before Felix stood behind her to watch her and also watch the door.

Steve grabbed Riley's hand before Sam and them were running out the door and out to the yard but first they heard gun shots and Riley wanted to stop and she knew that Shield was breaking out and trying their best to help stop HYDRA.. She wanted to help Sharon, her sister in arms but knowing Sharon she would want Riley to help Steve get those carriers down.

In that moment she wondered if Mary and Peggy would be proud of them, their little girls following in their footsteps and becoming agents in the same place that Mary and Peggy founded.. Would Mary and Peggy be proud that Sharon and Mary were helping not only Mary and Peggy's hero.. but also their hero?

"How do we know if they're the good guys?" Sam asked as all three started running outside, Steve and Riley looked at each other at first before it was Riley who answered

"If they're shooting at all three of us, they're HYDRA" She said before she saw they had to jump, Steve saw that too before he grabbed her tighter as they ran faster before Riley looked over and saw Sam was already spreading his wings and flew while Steve jumped off the edge with Riley in his arms before they landed on the carrier and Riley and Steve ran, of course Steve was faster but went ahead as Riley took out her gun and soon Steve stopped and held up his shield as Riley quickly hid behind him as HYDRA members started shooting at them, Riley had to remember to ask Steve later on to get some lessons on how to hold that shield because she knew one day she would need to use that shield but wouldn't even know to control it like Steve has.

As Steve drove through the barriers, Riley quickly ran after him and saw a man was ready to sneak up on him and kicked him in the stomach and as he was bending down in pain Steve hit him with his shield as they kept going but not without Steve taking a grenade and throwing it, hitting three men after them. Riley looked up and saw Sam flying around and dodging as much bullets as he could. She was quite impressed in how Sam could move so quickly in that suit, it was like Sam was actually a bird.

"Riley! Cap! Are you there? I found the bad guys" Sam said as he was flying through the bullets and Riley looked at Steve, worried for Sam

"Are you okay Sam?"

"I'm not dead Riley! I'll be fine"

Pierce was ready to shoot a council member for trying to sop him, he had some guards ready to aim and fire at everyone. S.J was ready to tackle Pierce and take him down but Natasha touched his hand for a second before he looked over and nodded at her. "

Once Pierce was ready to pull the trigger all of a sudden an older man grabbed Pierce's shoulder and slammed him into the wall while the older woman covered him by throwing these shock weapons as the guards as she pushed the council member away from Pierce and everyone was on their guard as they looked shocked that an old man and old woman could move so easily until the older woman spoke

"Aww.. I'm Sorry" She said taking off her facemask and was Natasha herself as S.J stepped away from Pierce and took off his facemask and smirked over at Natasha who was looking at S.J with soft eyes

"Did my Love and I step on your moment?" Natasha asked as Pierce wanted to kill her in that moment. He knew now that The Snakes weren't in his control anymore, it was only the Winter Soldier.

"We only have eight minutes left Cap" Felix said into his headpiece as he heard Riley they were on their way, soon Cap and Riley were fighting side by side as Riley did a flip and dodge a man while the man was distracted but didn't notice Steve behind her as he smashed into the guy with the shield, Riley looked up and noticed that Falcon was still in the air fighting as Natasha and S.J were in the middle of releasing all of Shield and Hydra's records onto the internet and in that moment she wished that she would be there with Lily.

She was wondering how the other Snakes were doing in protecting her friend and her unborn baby and was hoping that they got there in time as they must be going through a lot too.

Once Steve and Riley made their way into the first helicarrier Steve opened the main part of the carrier and took out a chip and inserted the one they had programmed to stop the attacks into the slot

"Right, we have the other one and Sam has to get his and we'll win this" Riley encouraged before Steve nodded and heard from Sam that he already made it to his carrier before Steve looked at Riley as she nodded and they both started running

"Hey Sam, mind giving us a lift?" Riley asked as Steve and her were running to the edge and soon Steve grabbed her waist as all of a sudden to they jumped over the edge and were in the air falling

"Yea, when do you need it?" Sam asked as he flew and Steve sounded like he wanted to sigh

"We just did!" He yelled and a few moments later they looked up to see Falcon flying down and after them before Cap stuck out his hand and Falcon took it as he yelled due to the wings not used to it carrying now three people as Falcon made the suit go to it's limits as they managed to fly to the carrier below the one they needed

"You guys are heavy" He said as Steve chuckled as all three of them ran "Had a big breakfast" He said and Riley was about to say something before she noticed something at the corner of her eye and pushed Steve away from her before The Winter Soldier ran at her instead and knocked her against the steel fence which easily broke and she went over the edge as she rolled off the ship

"Riley!" Steve shouted as he dove after her and Falcon ready to dive after the both of them if it wasn't for the Winter Soldier after him as well now.

Steve dove down as he caught Riley and turned his back so they would land on his back as they groaned in pain as they hit the hard metal of the helicarrier that they were suppose to land on

"Cap! Riley! Are you okay?" Sam asked a few moments later and Riley nodded and spoke into the headpiece

"We're fine Sam, how are you holding up?"

"I'm grounded.. I'm sorry you guys" Sam said disappointed as Steve shook his head

"You did a great job, we'll take it from here" Steve said as they carefully climbed the helicarrier making their way to the control system of the carrier.

"Give me one good excuse not to shoot you right now" S.J said calmly before Pierce chuckled darkly at him as he smiled brightly

"We took everything from you, we took you away from your home.. Your grave.. Your family.. Your girlfriend.. Your dead baby, You lost everything because of us" Pierce said happily as S.J took out his gun and pointed it at Pierce and Natasha came towards him with Fury behind watching them

"S.J, he's baiting you right now.. Don't do it" She whispered as Pierce just laughed coldly at her

"You think you can tame The Viper? No one can tame him, He's a monster that's waiting to explode.. You don't know him like I know him, You haven't seen his files like I've seen them, He has darkness in him and I'm not sure you'll be ready to see it when it's truly exposed" Pierce laughed as Natasha shook her head at him

"I know he has darkness in him, but so do I.. I won't give up on him, not ever" Natasha vowed as Fury stepped up

"The Viper and The Snakes will be protected by me, they didn't deserve this life.. They were meant to be dead but you woke them up and guess what? You give them a reason to live.. They had Vengeance" Fury said as Pierce laughed at them and shook his head

"You people are so stupid, you won't even see all of them alive by the next ten years." He said before everyone in the room scowled in confusion as Pierce spoke to them

"Before Zola passed away, A traveler came to him.. With powers and showed him something as she spoke.. She said to him

"One by one, They'll each fall. But with comes death comes life and one carries the legacy of the Snakes and Causing those five lost souls to earn their peace as they deserved" Pierce laughed as S.J frowned before realizing what that means.

Five Souls will earn their peace.. There's six Snakes.. Only One will survive and the other five will be dead.

If Alice was dead, That already counted as one Snake being down.. Four more needed to die now before the last surviving Snake could have their peace and the other five souls are granted their peace.

Jasper.. Felix.. Janet.. Sean.. Himself. In the end one of those five will survive.

Riley and Steve ran towards the control center of the third Helicarrier before they stopped short and saw who was in their way.

The Winter Soldier.

In that moment she wished S.J was along with them, S.J spent over 70 years with this man and was trained by him.. If anyone could stop him it would be The Viper but they knew it was good that S.J was with them otherwise one wrong move could have triggered The Viper to come out.

"Buck.. Innocent people are gonna die" Steve whispered to his friend who just looked at him and it was Riley's turn to speak

"Bucky.. You may not know me but I'm Riley Smith, I'm Mary's Granddaughter" She whispered trying to see that maybe Mary's name could snap him out of his state but it didn't work and Steve spoke

"Mary wouldn't want this Buck, she would want this to stop.. I know you loved her Buck and I loved her too.. Don't make me do this please" Steve pleaded and Bucky just stood there.. His expression blank and his eyes cold before Steve knew what he had to do before he threw his shield but Bucky dodged the shield with his arm before Riley pulled out her gun and started shooting but Bucky dodged them again by the bullets hitting his arm and it gave Steve the chance to get his shield and start hitting him with it but Bucky started shooting at the shield before he managed to get Steve in the side of the ribs and Steve backed up while Riley ran and slid under his legs and quickly got up and started throwing punches at Bucky, getting him in the face a couple of times before kicking his side and groaning in pain as he pushed her into the steel fence before knocking her off her feet as she held on to the bars

"Riley!" Steve shouted ready to pull her over but Bucky pushed him over with the chip in hand, Riley climbed back over and saw Bucky jumping and sliding down to get the chip and Steve going after him and soon Bucky started shooting at him and Steve was protecting himself with the shield

"Steve throw it!" She said as Steve tried throwing the chip but Bucky tackled him to the ground and the chip went on the floor and Bucky tried picking it up but Steve got a hold of him and had him in a lock

"Drop it!" Steve said as Bucky didn't move and Steve snapped his arm out of place and Bucky's scream echo the ship as Riley flinched and Steve looked heart-broken that he just had to snap his friend's arm

Steve got him to the ground and had him in a sleeper hold until Bucky passed out as Steve grabbed the chip and started running and climbing but as soon as he started jumping she heard a shot and Steve went down as he saw he was shot in the leg but Steve was a super solider one single shot could take him down like that.

As Steve started climbing Riley heard the shots more and Steve was missing nearly a inch before he made it to her and they heard Maria telling them they had only thirty seconds left

Riley looked over and saw Bucky was aiming at Steve once more and it looked like he was aiming for Steve's chest as she quickly went behind him and soon there was a shoot.

Steve flinched as he heard a body go down and he inserted the chip in quickly before looking and seeing what happened.

Riley just took a bullet for him.

"Charlie lock.."

"Alright, Cap and Riley get out"

"Fire now"

"What? But Steve?"

"Do it now!" Steve as held Riley close to him and saw the huge blow on her stomach and soon there were multiple shots fired as he picked up Riley bridal style and went towards the edge to jump but hearing Bucky's screams.. He just couldn't.

"What A waste.." Pierce looked out the window and saw the ships firing at each other but he looked over at Natasha and smirked

"Alright, We're leaving now.. Council Woman come with me" He said as he grabbed her arm and S.J went towards him but Pierce held the button

"You move one more step and I'll shock you both the death" Pierce threaten and saw S.J stood down as Pierce laughed

"You see what happened? You crossed Hydra the first time your girlfriend and child end up dead.. Now I'm taking her away from you too" Pierce said as Natasha and S.J frowned at each other and Natasha looked down and walked off

"You are gonna fly me to safety so your boyfriend here won't kill me" Pierce said as Fury looked down and sighed

"There was a time I would have taken a bullet for you" Fury said as S.J stood his ground ready for Pierce to make one wrong move.. He saw Fury pulling out a gun and a few moments later S.J saw Natasha taking out one of her tools and she actually shocked herself

"Hey!" Pierce said as Fury quickly threw the gun to S.J who did not hesitant and shot at Pierce who went straight through a glass wall and Fury ran over to Natasha and S.J walked towards Pierce

"Natasha!" Fury said as she was groaning in pain and Fury looked over at S.J who had a dark expression on his face

"You.. You're part of the group who took me away from my home, took me away from my family.. Killed my girlfriend and my daughter.. You made me and my friends weapons Pierce.. But now, We're free" S.J said calmly as Pierce laughed weakly

"You will always be known as a killer Steven-James, The Viper will never escape you" He said as S.J shook his head and aimed the gun at Pierce's head

"Hail Hydra" Pierce said weakly as S.J shot him in the head, he looked over at Natasha and rushed over to her and held her close to him

"I don't know what you were thinking my Love, but I don't know if to kiss you or kill you" S.J spoke in Russian and Nat chuckled as she looked up at him

"So kiss me then, Cause I'm proud of you" She whispered looking up at him, happy that he was finally free at last.

"Gladly" He whispered before leaning down and kissing her softly and Fury coughed at them

"We have another Rogers to save now" He said before S.J and Natasha nodded, The war wasn't over just yet.. They needed to save Steve and Riley and Sam.

Steve dropped down and placed Riley safely on the floor as he noticed she was still breathing, Steve made his way to Bucky who was struggling to get out and Steve lifted the huge metal part that was on Bucky and Bucky crawled out and Steve looked at him and shook his head

"You know me.." Steve said as Bucky was on his knees at first but he also shook his head as he got up a moment and punched Steve straight in the face

"No I don't!" Bucky yelled and Riley opened her eyes and saw their carrier was going down just like the other carriers and she couldn't move either since being shot in the stomach.. She was weak right now and she couldn't do anything to help Steve

"Bucky.." Steve said as he was breathing hard as he was recovering from the punch and looked over at Riley who just nodded, she knew this was important to him.. Even if it meant risking their own lives.. Steve had to make Bucky remember.

"You knew me your whole life.. Me and Mary were your child-hood friends" Steve said as he saw an inch of sadness once Mary was mentioned but it was covered up by coldness as Bucky yelled and punched Steve again and Riley saw they were going to crash into a building.. This was it for them.

"Your name is James Buchanan Barnes" Steve said weakly as Bucky shook his head and lunched forward to punch Steve straight in the face again

"Shut up!" He screamed as Riley flinched as Steve went down but Steve wasn't giving up anytime soon as he slowly but surely made his way up again and he shook his head at his former friend

"I'm not gonna fight you.. You're my friend" Steve said softly as he dropped the shield and Riley saw the shield going down into the water, she soon saw Bucky ran at him and started punching at him as Riley noticed that Steve was not fighting back at this point

"You're my mission" Bucky said as he started punching Steve in the face and saw that Steve's face bleeding and swollen but Steve did not fight back

"Then finish it.." Steve said as Bucky looked confused and Steve shook his head lightly at him

"Cause I'm with you until the end of the line" Steve said as Riley noticed that Bucky was frozen for a moment and something in him changed.. Like Bucky was remembering.

"Bucky... James" Riley called over at Bucky who looked right over at her and for a moment his eyes soften when he looked over at her

"Mary.." For a moment Bucky thought he was going crazy and instead of seeing Riley he was looking at his first love Mary and it was like the memories were coming back.

Steve, Bucky and Mary playing in the backyard as kids.

Bucky and Steve playing sports.

Bucky and Steve protecting Mary from the bullies in kindergarten.

Mary and Bucky holding hands as they watched Steve growing over his parents' graveyards.

Mary and Bucky at the beach, the sun was going down and they had their first kiss.

Mary's promise to Bucky.

Bucky going on a date with Connie, someone who he met in over a week and fell in love.

Although Bucky feeling bad for falling inlove with Connie he knew Mary was happy for him..

Mary..

Before Bucky could say or do anything there was a piece of metal that crashed down and broke the flooring as Steve and Riley both fell into the water, Bucky looking down at the two falling into the water.. Riley hitting the water first and Steve second and Bucky knew that Riley would drown first since she was the weakest following by Steve.. His best friend.

He sighed and let go as he dove into the water.

Author's Note:

One more chapter and we're done!

I wasn't proud of this story as much but I wanted to finish it.. I think I wanna come back to this story one day and re-write it but the changes I made from it was that Riley doesn't know that Bucky killed her parents as well, So The Winter Soldier killed Tony and Riley's parents and we will see how it goes in the future and see how close Tony and Riley will be since they're like cousins.

I also added that saying that One Snake will survive by the end of the series.

Last Chapter and We got our mini story before Age of Ultron Starts!
