Blue || Bucky Barnes

33. Your Saviour Is Here

Narrator

Bucky wanders the farm trying his best to do something with his time. Wherever Leia went he's beginning to lose hope that she's alright. The region of Wakanda went into total lockdown as soon as they found out about Leia's disappearance. And they were keeping Bucky updated as they searched far and wide for her. They really did search everywhere. T'Challa made a promise to Bucky that they'd find her and he wasn't about to break that promise. But slowly the Wakandans start to lose all hope. They've scoured the planet, lord knows they have the resources to do so, and they cannot find the woman anywhere.

"Sergeant Barnes." Shuri has been dubbed into breaking the news to the White Wolf.
"Shuri!" Bucky's glad to see her, hoping she comes bearing good news. Her face falls with sorrow and it's like a punch to Bucky's gut.

"We can't find her, it's been months, we've looked everywhere, twice, left no stone unturned." Shuri says.
"What?" Bucky's heart drops to the floor.
"I'm sorry Bucky. We'll keep trying but..." She mumbles. Bucky stays mute unable to comprehend the information he's just been given.

Shuri isn't sure whether she should walk away or stay by him. But concluding he might need some space, the princess turns and walks away leaving Bucky in the middle of the paddock. He sinks to the floor not knowing how to feel. She can't be gone, there's no way. They were finally okay, finally starting to feel almost normal again.
Leia's little goat, Buttercup, walks up to him and nuzzles into his legs and that's when he lets the guards go. His walls crumble down and so do the tears. Not Leia. Not his girl.

"So where're you from exactly Leia?" Korg asks.
"Earth." Leia says.
"Oh cool, I've never been there." Korg grins.
"Alright let me ask you this then?" She starts. "What do you guys do in here. It seems rather boring."
"Not much really. We can sit down and have deep and meaningful conversations or run around like lunatics. It's really whatever you feel like doing." Korg's accent is enthralling.
"And what are these things?" Leia points to the device on her neck.
"My god you ask a lot of questions. But they're called Obedience Disks. We've all got one."
"I'm just trying to figure a way out of here." Leia says.

Korg turns to Miek who's sitting beside him. "Is that some sort of protoplasm, all the stuff that's coming out of you? Or are they eggs? Looks like eggs." Leia tries to stifle her laughter.
Then there's a sudden explosion and the door to the cell comes flying off and a woman stalks through holding a funny looking gun. Seemingly answering Leia's prayers the Obedience Disks that Korg was just telling her about drop off each of the prisoners, powering down.
"I'm looking for Korg and Leia." She says. They rise to their feet intrigued.
"Who's asking? Well I know you're asking, just is anyone else asking or is it just you?" Korg asks her.
"The Lord of Thunder sends his best." She smiles throwing Korg the weapon in her arms.
"The revolution has begun!" Korg announces and Leia grins, hands glowing.

The group of prisoners run through the building. Korg seems to know where he's going.
"This way." He says and they emerge into a large space with several ships inside, almost like a garage. We all walk in together and spot the biggest one.
"There she is! Our ticket out of here." Korg announces as they walk. Leia feels her foot kick something lightly across the floor and she looks down.
"Hey what's that?" Korg asks as she bends down to pick it up.
"I don't know." Leia says pressing the button curiously. They hear a groan and their heads all turn in that direction.

"Thank you." Loki looks at her before realizing who she is.
"Loki." Leia's tone is mono.
"Hey man, we're about to jump on that ginormous space ship. You wanna come?" Korg asks the prince.
Loki stands up and collects himself. "Well you do seem like you're in desperate need of leadership."
"Why thank you." Korg says.
Leia scoffs lightly. "Oh I'm wishing I didn't press that button." She mumbles.
"Pardon?" Loki steps towards her daringly and she holds the small remote up warningly. "Alright, alright."
She smiles victoriously and deactivates it, pulling it off his shoulder blade. "Don't make me regret this."
