Divided We Fall (Bucky Barnes)

Siberia Pt. 2

Steve and Anne watch Tony anxiously. Tony lunges towards Bucky, Anne flinches and protects Bucky, activating her powers.

"Tony. Tony." Steve says attempting to calm him down.

Consumed with grief and tears glistening in his eyes Tony turns and looks at Steve.

"Did you know?" He asks.

" I didn't know it was him." Steve lies.

"Don't bullshit me, Rogers! Did you know?" 

A moment of silence passes by and Steve gulps.

"Yes."

Tony steps back, his chin jutting upwards twitchy. Tony reengages the Iron Man helmet. He punches Steve to the floor and deflects gunfire from Bucky, disarming him. Anne attempts to keep Tony from Bucky but Tony smacks her in the head and she falls to the ground. He grabs Bucky and flies across the chamber. He slams him onto the floor, then jumps on his arms. Steve's shield hits Iron Man, distracting him. Steve barges him backwards, Iron Man shoulders him to the floor and shackles his ankles.

 Bucky punches Iron Man who just lifts him and slams him against a machine. Iron Man raises a fist but Bucky twists it. A rocket shoots out of Iron Man's arm, a fireball explodes. Anne stands and rushes to Steve, blood trickling from her forehead, and freezes the shackles off of his ankles as a towering structure of pipework collapses. Tony and Bucky are thrown down a level as twisted metal falls around them, showering sparks. Bucky and Tony are ripped apart from the machinery falling. Bucky stands up and looks at Anne and Steve.

"Go!" Anne yells.

"Get out of here!" Steve yells.

As Bucky bolts Iron Man fires, but misses. Steve lands in front of him. Bucky hits a control panel and the silo-styled door overhead starts to open.

" It wasn't him, Tony. Hydra had control of his mind!" Anne states.

"Move!" Tony says and flies past Anne and Steve.

"It wasn't him!" Steve yells and grabs Tony's foot in mid air and smashes it as Anne begins to run for Bucky. Tony blocks Steve by shooting down rubble, then falteringly flies up the tower.

"Left boot jet failing. Flight systems compromised." Tony's AI, Friday states.

"Ah crap."

Above him Bucky and Anne leap from platform to platform. With stuttering jets Iron Man gives chase, then kicks Anne and Bucky and takes aim, but the energy bold rebounds off Steve's shield onto himself. Iron Man drops like a stone and lands on a lower platform.

"He's not going to stop." Anne realizes.

"Go." Steve says to Anne and Bucky. 

They nod and run.

As Iron Man soars upwards, Steve leaps and shoots a wire which wraps around Iron Man's neck and drags him back down. He deflects Steve's shield, then tries to target Anne and Bucky.

"Targeting system's knackered, boss." Friday states.

" I'm eyeballing it." Tony says and his helmet retracts. 

He shuts one eye, taking aim at the opening hatch. He fires and hits the giant hinge which explodes, cutting off Anne and Bucky's escape route. Bucky and Anne fall to a nearby platform. Anne, being his number one prioroty, is grabbed by Bucky protecting her from the blast and fall. Tony flies up, blocks two swings from an iron pipe from Bucky, then grabs him around the neck from behind.

" Do you even remember them?" Tony asks.

" I remember all of them." Bucky says and pushes them from the walkway. 

Anne watches them fall from the platforms and jumps after them. Steve jumps into them to deflect their fall. Bucky and Anne land on a platform while Tony and Steve land on the concrete floor besides opening in the wall where snow drifts in from outside. Steve and Tony stand up. 

"This isn't gonna change what happened." Steve tells him.

"I don't care. He killed my mom." Tony says and jumps at him.

They trade punches and Iron Man ends up pinning Steve down. 

"Stay here." Bucky says to Anne, picking up Steve's shield. 

He leaps down to help. Anne, however doesn't listen and jumps down to help fight too. As the three of them fist fight with Tony the shield changes hands between them until Tony manages to zap Steve and Anne who are thrown back into the wall. Bucky struggles to hold Iron Man at bay as he unleashes an energy beam, then he forces Iron Man against the opposite wall and grips the glowing core in the chest of the Iron Man Suit. A blast of energy knocks Bucky down, metal arm completely blown away. Tony zaps him again. 

Anne stands and charges at Tony, the snow becoming violent. Her hands glow icy blue and she shoots sharp icicles at him. He deflects every one of them and blasts her in the hip, knocking her towards Bucky. She crawls towards Bucky.

Steve rushes him with his shield up and Iron Man fires right at it. Steve backs Tony up against a wall and they exchange punches.

"You can't beat him hand to hand." Friday states.

"Analyse his fight pattern." Tony orders Friday.

"Scanning!"

Iron Man's HUD flashes red as Steve lands blow after blow.

"Countermeasures ready."

He grabs his shield, stopping him.

"Let's kick his ass."

He flings the shield away then zaps Steve backwards, head over heels. Steve rises and Tony blocks his punches then zaps him to his knees, right in front of Anne and Bucky, who's lying on his back.

"He's my friend." Steve says.

"So was I." Tony says and punches Steve and then throws him back towards the gaps in the wall. "Stay down. Final warning."

Steve struggles to his feet, his face bloody and his gate weary. He raises his fists and stares Tony down. 

"I can do this all day." He says.

Iron man raises his left palm ready to fire. Anne grabs his leg and Tony spins, kicking her in the face. Steve grabs Tony and lifts him over his head, then throws him down, punches him and bashes his mask off with his shield before striking down hard on the suit's core. Tony looks horrified and glowers fearfully at Steve who pants for breath. Both have blood spattered across their faces. Steve looks back at Tony then shuts his eyes and slumps down. 

The shield remains upright, stuck upright in the center of the Iron Man Suit. When Steve struggles up again he takes hold of the shield, gripping the edge and pulling it free. He steps away from Tony who rolls painfully onto his side. Bucky lies bloodied but conscious, Steve reaches out and pulls him to his feet, holding him up. Anne helps as Tony looks on. They start to walk away when Tony speaks.

"That shield doesn't belong to you." He says and Steve stops." You don't deserve it. My father made that shield!" 

Steve raises his chin and then drops the shield and walks away with Bucky's arm around his shoulder, Anne on the other side of him.

a/n: Besties I might've cried during this. I literally cry at this scene every time I watch the movie because it's just so emotional.
