The Other Rogers

Chapter 12

Bucky sat strapped in listening to Steve as he gave another speech that made him famous during the forties. He couldn't understand a word he was saying, his mind was on getting Ultron. When not if but when they defeated the robot, they would get Anya back. Unlike the Avengers, that was his reason for fighting.

"All they want is to live their lives in peace, and that's not going to happen today. But we can do our best to protect them. And we can get the job done and find out what Ultron's been building. We find Romanoff and my sister, and we clear the field. Keep the fight between us. Ultron thinks we're monsters and we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him. It's about whether he's right."

Bucky watched as the twins huddled closely, their minds elsewhere. The sun was barely even coming up as they flew over the city. They were going to drop off the twins first, knowing that with Wanda's powers and Pietro's speed they would be the best chance they had getting the locals of the city to leave.

Standing up he walked over to Steve. "I'm going to join the twins. Wanda said that Ultron most likely has Anya in the church."

Without hearing his friend's response, he squatted in front of Wanda who looked up slightly startled.

"Can you sense her?" His voice was soft, he didn't want to alert the others.

Wanda closed her eyes and opened them breathing deeply, fear clear in her red orbs. She grabbed his hand and closed them again.

Closing his own Bucky gasped as he stood in a church, where there was a circular roofed courtyard. In the middle, there was a long cylinder mass of pure vibranium; but what scared him the most was that Anya was attached to it. Her blonde hair was streaked red with a lot of her own blood, and Bucky could see more of it trickling down her arms.

She lifted her head and gasped when she looked straight at him. "Ванда, я знаю, что ты рядом." She coughed and more blood came out, spraying on the floor. "Вытащите Джеймса отсюда. Возьми Джеймса и Стива и уходи."

Bucky cried and tried to run towards her, but he couldn't move. "Аня, мы без тебя не уедем."

With his words Anya frowned, shaking her head. He didn't know if she could hear him, but his surroundings startled to bleed and wash together until he found himself back in the Quinjet with a crying Wanda in front of him.

"She heard you. She wants you and Steve to go home. Natasha is being held above the church, Anya said you cannot save her as she is tied to the trigger; that was the large metal tank you saw."

Bucky growled, his anger escalating. He would save Anya and Ultron will not stop him. "I will not leave her there."

His statement caught Steve's attention. He came over to the trio and raised a brow at Pietro soothing a crying Wanda and Bucky fuming. "What is going on?"

Bucky sighed and shook his head. Pietro turned to the blonde soldier and pointed at his sister, "Wanda was able to communicate with Anya. She says to leave, there is no way to save her."

Just as Bucky had, Steve got angry, "So what she wants us to leave her there and turn around?" His eyes resembled a storm, calm but ferocious. Wanda looked up at him, her brown eyes watering.

"She wants you two to stay here. She says Ultron will make sure you two are dead before the rest of us."

Steve walked away and Bucky watched as everyone geared up. It didn't take long for Clint to land the quinjet, letting the twins and Bucky to run out along with Thor, Vision and Tony. Tony was going to go straight for Ultron along with Vision while Thor hunted for the stolen vibranium. When they had approached the city, the jet had located the mass of metal under the city.
