Ghost Whisper- Bucky Barns X Reader

The Beginning of Civil War

Play music Smell like teen spirit

Months had passed since we all said goodbye to Pietro. During that time Steve and Nat and a new guy that I meet a couple of times, destroyed Shield with the help of "Dead Fury" of course. Steve also found out that his childhood friend Bucky is alive. I kept Wanda company but with her training regime, and missions she got busy. I knew nat was training her to help her get her mind off Pietro. I didn't mind the slightest. They where currently on a mission.

I was at my antique store when I heard the television say something that caught my attention.

"FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: 11 Wakandans were among those killed during a confrontation... between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries... in Lagos, Nigeria last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandans were on an outreach mission... in Lagos, when the attack occurred.
"Our people's blood is spilled on foreign soil... not only because of the actions of criminals... but by the indifference of those pledged to stop them. Victory at the expense of the innocent... is no victory at all."
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: The Wakandan king went on to...
MALE PUNDIT: (ON TV) They are operating outside and above the international law. Because that's the reality, if we don't respond to acts like these. What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have... to operate in Nigeri...?"

I didn't even let the tv finish talking before I ran out the door, locked the shop, and got a cab to the compound.

When I got to the compound I walked into what I believed was a marriage argument.

"Secretary Ross has a Congressional Medal of Honour... which is one more than you have." Rhoady tells Sam.

"So let's say we agree to this thing.How long is it gonna be before they LoJack us like a bunch of common criminals?" Sam argues back.

"117 countries want to sign this. 117, Sam, and you're just like, "No, that's cool. We got it." How long are you going to play both sides?" Rhoady mocks sam.

"Whats going on here?" I ask as I look at who's in the living room area.

"I have an equation." Vision answers all of a sudden.

"Oh, this will clear it up." Sam rolls his eyes.

"In the eight years since Mr Stark announced himself as Iron Man... the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. During the same period... the number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurate rate." Vision points out.

"Are you saying it's our fault?" Steve says from the couch he is sitting on. He looks up from his lap to Vision to me then back to Vision.

"I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict... breeds catastrophe. Oversight... Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand." Vision says looking at everyone.

"Boom." Rhoady looks at sam as he makes a small bomb hand gestures towards him.

"Tony. You are being uncharacteristically non-hyper-verbal." Nat looks at Tony. He's just sitting on the couch with his hand over his face.

"It's because he's already made up his mind." Steve says accusingly.

"Boy, you know me so well. Actually, I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache. That's what's going on, Cap. It's just pain. It's discomfort." He walks over to the kitchen sink. "Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal? Am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?" He sighs. He puts something on the tv for all of us to see a boy.

"Oh, that's Charles Spencer, by the way. He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA... had a floor-level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first, he wanted to put a few miles on his soul... before he parked it behind a desk. See the world. Maybe be of service. Charlie didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't go to Paris or Amsterdam, which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer building sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where. Sokovia. He wanted to make a difference, I suppose. We won't know because we dropped a building on him while we were kicking ass. There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check! Whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept limitations, if we're boundary-less... we're no better than the bad guys." Tony tells everyone, he looked like he's giving up. He looked.... Broken.

"Tony, someone dies on your watch, you don't give up." I tell him.

"Who said we're giving up? We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions. And last I checked you weren't an Avenger. So you have no say." He points at me.

"Well I think she should be. And This document just shifts the blame." Steve defends me.

"I'm sorry, Steve. That is dangerously arrogant. This is the United Nations we're talking about. It's not the World Security Council, it's not S.H.I.E.L.D., it's not HYDRA." Tony argues with Steve, he paces back and forth.

"No, but it's run by people with agendas, and agendas change." Steve stares at him.

"That's good. That's why I'm here. When I realised what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands... I shut it down and stopped manufacturing." Tony sits back down like he proved his point.

"Tony, you chose to do that. If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose. What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there is somewhere we need to go and they don't let us? We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own." Steve's Voice gets rough as he talks.

"If we don't do this now, it's gonna be done to us later. That's the fact. That won't be pretty."Tony says as he shrugs.

"You're saying they'll come for me." Wanda quietly speaks as I head towards her to sit next to her and hug her.

"We would protect you." Vision next to us says.

" I will too." I whisper to her, she smiles at me.

"Maybe Tony's right. If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer. If we take it off..."
Nat says, I look at her surprised.

"Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few months ago?"Sam questions her.

"I'm just reading the terrain. We have made some very public mistakes. We need to win their trust back." Nat makes a face as she tells us.

"Focus up. I'm sorry. Did I just mishear you... or did you agree with me?" Tony asks surprise that Nat for once agreed with him. Ive never seen her agree with him on something.

"I want to take it back now." Nat said looking very regrettable on what she said.

"No, you can't retract it. Thank you. Unprecedented. Okay. Case closed. I win." Tiny claps his hands.
