whatever it takes

Chapter 15: Wakanda Forever

*Song: Pray For Me by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar*

You were now sitting on the Quinjet going to whatever location Steve said could help us. Sam is piloting and the rest of us, Rhodey, Steve, Natasha, Bruce Wanda, and Vision were all in the back. Nat came to me to ask about Kylo but I couldn't speak without sobbing so I just sent my memories through her. I could see she felt bad but I could also sense happiness because she knew I found someone special. But none of that matters now because if you didn't stop Thanos you would be dead anyway. 

Sam broke me out of my thoughts when I heard him say to Steve, "I hope you're right about this, Cap. Or we're gonna land a lot faster than you want to."

I stood up and walked to the front to see what he was talking about. My eyes widen in horror as I saw the jet heading straight for a mountain. I closed my eyes and braced myself but then nothing happened. My eyes opened and we were now gliding through the airspace of the city I've only heard of, Wakanda. 

The jet landed on a landing pad and the ramp descended down. I walked out with Steve and Nat in the front. Bruce and Rhodey were right behind me. 

I heard Bruce ask Rhodey, "Should we bow?"

"Yeah, he's a king." I couldn't help but laugh because you knew this would be funny. 

"Seems like I'm always thanking you for something," Steve said while shaking King T'Challa's hand. 

I reached mine out and spoke, "King T'Challa I'm happy to finally be meeting you. My father speaks highly of you." 

"Miss Stark I am honored to finally meet the woman who put Tony Stark to shame."

As T'Challa spoke I saw in the corner of my eye Bruce bow. Which only made me laugh and I laughed even harder when Rhodey fakes innocence with, "What are you doing?"

"Uh, we don't do that here," T'Challa excuses Bruce then continued, "So how big of an assault can we expect?"

As we continued walking into the pathway to head inside of the building Bruce piped up, "Ah, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault."

"How we looking?" Nat spoke clearly getting into her fighter mode. Which we needed at the moment.

T'Challa spoke up clearly ready for what was to come. "You will have my King's Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and..."

As T'Challa started to tetter off at the end I looked over and saw the man that I had wanted to meet for so long. Bucky

"A semi-stable, 100-year-old man," Bucky joked while embracing Steve. It warmed my heart to see this. 

"How you been, Buck?" Steve asked. I could see he was relieved to see his old friend

"Uh, not bad, for the end of the world," Bucky said before looking over at me. "Wait is this her?"

I walked up to Bucky pulling him into a hug. I know he probably thought it was weird but I felt like I already knew him so well. When Steve couldn't sleep at night he would tell me stories of Bucky. 

When I pulled away I finally got a good look at him. He was surely handsome and very much in shape.

"Hi, Sargent Barnes. I'm Ophelia Stark." 

"Doll, it's Bucky to you. Also so you're the sarcastic brat everyone talks about. I don't know what I was expecting but certainly not someone who looked this sweet."

I chuckled at his remarks with a bashful smile but then it turned into a smirk. "Well Bucky I don't know who told you I was a sarcastic brat but just so you know I only get called that in the bedroom."
