The Winter Soldier and the Blue Phoenix (complete)

The Visit On Asgard

Your eyes go wide.

"I- No! No way I'm talking to a ghost! That's- That's impossible!"

"Ah, so Loki was right," She says, "You don't believe something even if you're seeing it with your own two eyes."

"Well, that wasn't offensive at all." You say sarcastically.

"Good, I was worried." She says.

You roll your eyes and look around.

"What are you doing? Looking for an escape?"

"No, I just- I want to know if Bucky's okay. I hurt him in the accident and I want to apologize." You explain.

"Well, then, follow me."

"What?"

"Trust me first." She snickers.

You follow her hesitantly.

"Sneak around, I have no use for it cause you're the only one that can see me."

You listen and tiptoe around, following Frigga. She brings you to a large prison hall. She leads you down, through a maze of golden, barred-off cells. She stops suddenly, in front of a special cell. Instead of bars, it had a golden yellow forcefield, no furniture, and in the middle of the cell, curled up in a ball, is Bucky. You stop dead in your tracks and straighten up. He looks depressed. You think.

"Bucky." You whisper, catching his attention. He looks up at you, with cuts and bruises scattering over his face.

"Y/n, You're- You're here, in front of me. You snuck out of your room." He says, half happy and half shocked.

"Yeah, I did. I uh, I came to apologize, about everything. Your arm- Your arms." You correct.

"Don't worry. The Winter Soldier deserved it." He snickers.

"Your arm-" You look down and see it's much worse than you anticipated. Bright red burns running up his arm, with boils and blue streaks flowing throughout the burns.

"I swear, I-I didn't mean to hurt you. I-" You stop yourself and run your hands down your face, covering your face from Bucky seeing the tears in your eyes, "I'm sorry."

"Listen, I know, your powers are new, so you don't have to be sorry, it wasn't your fault."

"You're right, but I should still apologize, I mean, it was my powers."

You realize you actually have powers and this isn't a dream. None of this is a dream. You notice you don't feel pain through your body anymore. You look down and pull up your shirt just to check. There's nothing but gold stitching, where the wounds used to be. You drop your shirt back over your stomach.

"This- All of this, it's amazing, isn't it?" You ask with a smile.

"Yeah, it is." Bucky smiles.

You look around the cell for a way to release him.

"Frigga! How do I get Bucky out of here!?" You whisper shout.

"I'm afraid I don't know how."

"You're the queen of Asgard and you don't know how to release prisoners!?"

"Who're you talking to?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Ask one of the guards, they'll know." 

"That'll get me arrested!"

"Possibly."

"No! Not possibly! Definitely!" You reply.

"Then go through all the buttons on that control panel over there." She points to a control panel by the other side of the cell.

You walk to the side and look at the digital panel. All in Asgardian. Of course.

"It's all in god damn Asgardian!" You state angrily.

"Just try to read it." Frigga rolls her eyes.

You look back down at the hexagon-shaped panel. Three circular buttons, all in Asgardian, which, somehow, you can read, just barely. They read 'Forcefield glow' 'Power'  and finally 'Open'. You push the 'open' button and the forcefield shatters like glass. You cover your head from the field. Bucky emerges from the cell, limping. You run up to him and bring him into a bear hug.

"Thank you." He whispers longingly in your ear.

"No, thank you. Thank you for not hating me due to my powers." You mumble.

Then you hear the stomping footsteps of guards echoing down the corridor. You pull away and see Frigga.

"Go! He's coming and he won't be happy." Frigga warns.

You assume she's talking about Odin.

"We need to go, now!" You grab Bucky's wrist and he winces. You feel bad but in order to save you both, you might have to hurt along the way. You take a hard right, dragging Bucky with you.

"Sorry!" You shout.

"Don't worry! Let's just get out of here!"

You end up getting lost. This prison hall is a massive maze. Not very good. You come to a fork in the road, two ways, left, or right.

"I forgot how to get out of here. Oh my god, I'm an idiot." You mumble.

"Y/n, just think. How did Frigga lead you in here."

"How do you know about Frigga?"

"Uh, you mumbled her name a few times," Bucky replies.

You close your eyes and think, How did Frigga lead me here? 

"Okay, um this way." You run left.

Bucky runs after you.
