Find Me / Save Me (Bucky x Reader)

Seventy-Three

Steve's POV

Everything in my body aches. Somewhere in all this mess and destruction is the love of my life. A part of me is glad she's not here, not watching me lose against Thanos again. I stagger as I try to get up, tightening the remaining part of my shield to my cut up bloody arm. I wince at the pain and stand staring this giant in the face.

"In all my years of conquest– violence– slaughter– It was never personal. But I'll tell you now– what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet– I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much." He raises his hands in a signal and I watch, catching my breath as his army descends on the rubble that once was my home.

Thousands of creatures file out, poised to attack. Tony and Thor are knocked out, the rest of the team scattered beneath the ruins. I am alone. (Y/N). I can't let her sacrifice be for us to fail. I won't allow it. I will fight, till my last breath.

I'm about to take a step forward to my assured demise when I hear static over the comms. "Hey, Cap, you read me?"

I stay frozen in place, searching, praying I didn't just imagine what I heard. Then the comms crackle again. "Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?"

I hear a faint noise behind me, so soft it's practically imperceivable. But then the sound of the comms becomes loud and clear. "On your left." Turning slightly I catch Sam flying overhead and I can't help but let out an exhale of complete and utter relief. He's back. Their back...

Turning to the opened portal Sam flew out of I see them. Okoye, with Shuri and T'Challa, restored and ready to fight. Then suddenly portals start opening all around the battlefield. People filing in in droves. I'm in awe. I can feel myself well up with unshed tears as I catch a glimpse of Bucky in the far off distance. Everyone we lost. Everyone I care for. They are back.

My heart aches and wishes (Y/N) could see this. Could feel this energy that hangs in the air. For her we will end this. We will win this fight.

Suddenly Scott, giant in size emerges from the rubble. The remaining team in his giant hand. Nat makes her way to my side immediately, taking my hand in hers briefly. I can see in her glossy eyes she's thinking the exact same thing I am. Staring back at Thanos and his army I feel energized, revitalized. I smirk internally at his shocked expression. He will pay.

The energy is electric, I can feel everyone behind me poised and ready to pounce into action. Determined and ready, I call out to them. "AVENGERS" I summon Mjolnir to my free hand. "assemble."

Battle cries call out and we charge towards the opposing army. They begin to charge towards us as well. We clash, and the battlefield is complete mayhem and chaos.

Bucky's POV

The Soldier fights, ruthlessly and skillfully. Shooting any monster that comes my way with killer precision. As I weave my way through battle, I keep my eyes peeled for my Angel. I pray she is somewhere safe with Sarah, but if I know my wife, she will not be far from this fight.

Eventually I find myself fighting alongside the same racoon I had fought with earlier. No. Not earlier Barnes. It was five years ago. He looks towards me and smirks in recognition. "I'm still gonna get that arm!" He yells out. Before I could respond back his smirk dampens and he nods in my direction before taking off into the middle of the battlefield.

Slightly confused I allow the Soldier to continue his mission. I will kill everything in my path, destroy these monsters and beast that have plagued our world.

Over the comms a voice I recognize comes through. "Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?" Clint sounds out of breath, but I'm glad to hear him joining us in this fight. He hadn't been with us last time, since he was at home with his family.
