When Powers Collide

Chapter 7 - Lost & Found

Y/N's POV

I could barely keep my eyes open as my head was still pounding from being hit, I tried to move but couldn't as I felt a stabbing pain coming from what I could only assume was a still existing needle mark, whatever they had given me had made my whole body go numb, I had to stay awake, thoughts of Wanda played in my head as my eyes grew more tired, I had no clue where I was but the faint smell of rusting metal and decaying walls filled the air, the distant noise of water hitting the ground was enough to drive anyone crazy. I wasn't alone, that is the only thing I knew for sure as I could hear the faint footsteps approaching, as one swift kick to the ribs was enough to make me finally shut my eyes.

Avenger's POV

It was 3am, the slight music of raindrops hitting the window was just loud enough to make Wanda stir in her sleep as she rolled over to reach for y/n but was met with the still made up side of the bed where they were supposed to be, panic started to set in as she leaped from the bed as she rushed to Peter's room, startling the already jumpy kid, "Jesus Wanda what time is it?" he rubbed his eyes as he could see the worry all over Wanda's face "Wanda? What's wrong?" a jolt of adrenaline filled his body just enough for him to get out of bed as Wanda's eyes began to swell up "Y/n t-they never came home, Peter what if-" her statement cut him to his core, as what she was insinuating set it, the Avengers had a lot of enemies as did Nat and now with her gone what better way to get to y/n.

"Hey hey shh its ok we will figure this out alright? Let me go get Stark and we will meet in briefing room to go over everything, maybe y/n just needed space, but we will figure it out I promise" Peter was trying to be optimistic as he scurried down hall to Starks room, leaving Wanda to fall apart on her own.

4 Days Later

No word or leads on where y/n was, even if they had needed space they would have still found a way to reach Wanda and deep down she knew that, but that didn't stop her from driving around in hopes of finding them somewhere just as she got in the car her phone lit up, an unknown number, her heart stopped as she answered it but before she could say anything they started talking "hello Wanda I will keep this short, I have the one person you love, so my question is how valuable is their life to you so lets play a game, you have 48 hours to find them with every hour that passes just means more pain for them" their voice was empty, cold even and unfamiliar to Wanda, "who are you? Where is y/n?" her voice panicked as she prayed for them to answer, "just ask Cap" the voice uttered before the call ended leaving the Sokovian panic stricken as she ran back inside the compound where Peter and Tony were talking, she didn't even wait for them to stop before her words poured out, "y/n has been taken...I-I just thought they needed space but I just got a phone call and we only have 48 hours to find them, Tony we have to find them...please" the desperation in her voice tore Tony's wall down just enough for his emotions to show, "what do you  mean taken? By who?!" Tony's voice raised a little as the sense of worry consumed him, had this been his fault? Tony was a popular guy but with that he also made a lot of enemies as did the Avengers, so the list of possibilities grew as his mind raced.

"I don't know all they said is ask Cap and since he is gone, I don't know what to do or who it could be...oh my God y-you don't think it could be..." her breathing was unsteady as she placed her hands on counter, the only thing holding her up, her eyes met Peter and Tony's as they all thought the same thing, Bucky.

"Wait you think Bucky is behind this? Isn't he a good guy? Like would he really hurt y/n?" the questions Peter was asking were questions they all had but none of them had answers to them.

"Normally yes but if Hydra is back again, we have a problem, they have taken Bucky before and flipped him, but he has never gone this far so if that is the case we have a problem, wait I have an incoming video coming from unknown source, I will sent it to main screen" his voice was uneasy as none of them knew what to expect in the video. As the video began to play the faint sound of Wanda gasping as she covered her mouth filled the room, the video played as y/n could be seen tied to chair, and tape across their mouth, the signs of a fight were all over their face, the bruising was quite noticeable and the dried blood that was trickling down their face, their eyes were dark indicating lack of sleep and exhaustion both physical and mental, they were breaking them slowly, the video zoomed in on y/n enough for Wanda to see the tears their eyes were holding in as her heart broke slowly.
