Brother's Best Friend

Chapter Three

I've been waking up for a few months now to talk to Bucky, but he hasn't been there.

I heard everyone in the tower readying for the victory party that Tony was setting up because he got the staff that Loki used to mess with the planet. I walked down the stairs and saw Steve and his friend Sam,
"Wilson!" I yelled with a smile, I had already changed my clothes and I was in a dark blue dress,
"Is this the beautiful, charming Emily?" Sam said facing me with a grin,
"The one and only!" I said walking up and shaking his hand, Steve looked me up and down,
"We haven't found him yet, but we will." Steve said coldly, I looked at my brother,
"Steven Grant." I barked at him, he jumped at my tone and raised his eyebrow. Sam chuckled and then tried to cover it up with a cough,
"What?" He asked like a scared puppy,
"Are you annoyed because, I am involved with the finding of Bucky?" I asked crossing my arms as I stared at my brother,
"No, go talk to Nat." Steve said gesturing me away from him and Sam,
"Oo super hero talk." I mocked, before I walked away and sat at the bar in front of Nat who was mixing drinks,
"Here." Nat said softly as she slid a martini glass with a pink liquid inside. I sipped on the sweet drink and looked over at the group of people,
"I always feel like Bucky is missing." I said loud enough for Nat to hear as she leaned on the bar,
"I've been meaning to ask, since Bucky and Steve survived the ice because of the serum, how did you survive?" She asked, I looked confused and shrugged,
"Maybe we should test my blood." I said with a smile before Thor walked over next to Tony. They were squabbling about their girlfriends,
"Mine's better." Thor said, Nat looked at me and smiled causing me to giggle,
"Men." I mouthed, she nodded with a wink.

After a lot of people left we were all settled on the couches, I was beside Nat who was watching as everyone spoke, soon everyone was lifting Thor's hammer, or attempting. I heard clunking and all of a sudden I could see a robot thumping into the room,
"Tony." Steve said warning as he pushed me behind him, I took my knives out of my thigh holster. I spun them in my fingers and looked at Thor who gave me a nod,
"I am Ultron." The bot spoke before the Iron Maidens broke through the windows and started coming after us, I looked at Nat who grabbed my arm and put me beside Clint, as everyone else was battling I was covering Clint as we made it to the weapons case,
"Your brother." Clint said handing me the shield before he grabbed his bow and quiver. I looked at Steve,
"Steve!" I yelled as I threw the shield and started cutting wires and beating the rewired bots. The last bot was going after Steve, I ran and jumped over the railing and tore it in half, Steve turned,
"How long have you known how to do that?" He asked, I responded with a shrug. Finally all of the bots were down, I looked at everyone as we all made our way in front of the rambling Ultron. Thor looked at us before he smashed the bot with his hammer,
"So what is that?" I asked. Everyone turned to Tony and Bruce. Oh no.

In the lab where Tony and Bruce explained everything, Nat and I sat on a bench and watched the boys throwing a temper tantrum,
"Men." Nat whispered in my ear. I held back a laugh as they started planning to go through files,
"That's where I stay in my room, safe and sound." I said as I stood up,
"Sit down little Cap." Tony barked, I looked at him in shock,
"If she can do what Steve does and possibly more, she's of great value." Thor said pointing at me,
"And she's a girl!" Nat said grinning, I laughed.
"Emily would be safe here though." Steve protested, I looked at Nat,
"Drop the big brother act Steve, I am going with you and there is nothing you can do." I said standing toe to toe with my brother, he squared his shoulders and then Clint smiled at me, just behind Steve. Steve looked at me as I matched his stance,
"Welcome to the team Little America." He said with a smile before he picked me up and hugged me tightly,
"Alright enough of the initiation and let's get looking." Tony said, Steve put me down and we all went into a room full of boxes with files.

Before long there's a plan to go and stop vibranium from being stolen. Before we boarded the jet Nat handed me throwing knives,
"You'll need these more than the old ones." She said softly. I had my suit on and I looked at my holsters holding Bucky's old knives,
"When we get back, can we spruce up the old ones?" I asked as I put the old knives and tucked them into my suit,
"Why do you want to keep these old things?" Nat asked, the group was with us now,
"You should always want the newest product." Tony said looking at me, I took a deep breath as Tony looked at me before I pulled the knives back out and held them in my hand,
"Bucky." I said softly looking at Steve who nodded,
"Bucky was like our best friend, Nat you've seen him and he isn't like that, he's been trained by Hyrda to be an assassin. Sam Wilson and I have been looking for him. Emily had a special bond with him, he left his knives with her." He explained before I put the knives back,
"Then we'll improve them once we get back." Tony said, we all got in the jet and I sat buckling up,
"Sorry, I didn't know." Nat said, I smiled at her and shook my head,
"No one could, I don't talk about it." I said looking up at her.
