The piece of metal was just hovering above your heads but Wanda wasn't anywhere near you anymore.

"What the hell is happening?!" Your hands were still in the air and you heard Bucky sigh.

"Y/n, listen to me, slowly move your eyes and arms to the right of us" you listened to Bucky and as you did what he said, you found that the metal followed your exact movements.

It was now floating next to you and Bucky rather than above you. "Right, now, gently lower it to the ground".

You were so dumbfounded, you lost concentration and turned to Bucky. The metal dropped instantly next to you, creating a huge dust cloud. Pieces of metal broke off and hit you and Bucky.

"Sorry".

Once the cloud disappeared and you could finally see again, you were shocked to find everyone staring directly at you.

"We're going home" That was all Tony said. "What about him" Bucky referred to the alien leader "he's dead" Nat replied bluntly.

----------

"Are any of you going to explain what the hell just happened out there?!" The silence irritated the hell out of you.

"Y/n-" Steve began to talk but Tony interrupted "she's not ready".
"She needs to know. Look what happened" they continued bickering quietly as if you couldn't hear them.

"HELLO! I'M NOT DEAF! WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"

"Y/n" Bucky's quiet voice came from beside you. The room went eerily dead. "Bucky... What's happening? Please".

Bucky moved closer to you until you could feel the warmth radiating from him onto your face. He leaned down and layed his lips on yours, kissing you slow.

At the mere touch of his lips, you were met with the same throbbing pain as previous times. Images flashed in your mind of things you don't ever remember witnessing. There were images of war... And rings... And Bucky.

You pushed him away from you "WHAT WAS THAT!? WHO ARE YOU!?"

"You really don't remember?" Bucky sounded hurt "remember what Bucky?!"

"She won't be able to, my powers are too strong" Wanda joined the scene, looking guilty as ever. All this talk that only you didn't seem to understand was getting too much to handle.

A tear formed in your eye as you lost your cool "what.. Is going.. On? Please, someone tell me" you sobbed.

"Ok. It's time" Steve nodded towards Bucky as Bucky rested a hand on your shoulder "y/n, I know you've been feeling weird about me since I joined, like you know me from somewhere" you nodded slowly, taking in every word.

"Well the truth is... you do. I know this will be hard to hear and comprehend but try and follow along" Bucky glanced over at Steve and Tony who nodded their heads back.

"We met back in World War II, you were working as a nurse in the soldiers ward, and I was a soldier, so was Steve. I obtained an injury and was sent to your ward where you nursed me back to health. We spent the days talking and getting to know each other. It was pretty much love at first sight. We spent the following days meeting up, having fun, and falling deeply in love. We got engaged. Until my final mission" he paused, taking a deep breath.

"Mine and Steve's final mission was on a train and the side of it blew up. I fell, announced dead straight after. Truth is, I didn't die, I was taken by Hydra who, as you know, experimented on me. Nobody knew I was still alive."

He stopped speaking and all you could do was stand there in utter confusion.
"But... How. You said that was World War II, I'm only 22 years old"

"I'll let Steve continue" Bucky stepped back, tapping Steve. He couldn't continue speaking.

"Y/n, we all thought Buck was gone, for good. Me, you, every other damn soldier, nurse, and staff that knew him. Me and you spent the rest of our days drowing our sorrows and trying to be there for each other. In the end you helped me on my mission to take down Schmidt, who was planning to destroy New York. Cut a long story short, our ship crashed into the ice and we were frozen together for almost 70 years, we only managed to survive because there was HYDRA confidential serum that we accidentally inhaled before the crash. Fury found us years later and took us in, he told Tony everything and asked if he would take you in. We agreed that the best thing would be to wipe your mind of any memories of your life before Tony, for your own sanity. Wanda done it, although reluctant. Seeing Bucky after all these years must've jogged something in your brain" his voice trailed off.

You were too stunned to speak, you were pretty sure you were experiencing every possible emotion at once. "As for your powers that you witnessed, Wanda's grandmother, is your mother. You had a sister who gave birth to Wanda, making you Wanda's aunt. You inherited part of the Maximoff powers. You can read and control minds, as well as objects".

"Wanda, is there anyway of getting y/n's memories back?" Nat broke the silence again.

"No, not now that she knows what powers she possesses. She will unknowingly block my magic"

"Wait so you've told me all these stories and bits of information but can't even give me back my memories of them?!" Your voice grew shrill and angry.

"So you expect me to just believe this and go about my day like normal?! Without even having any recollection of this so called life I once lived?!!!"

Bruce walked in "there may be one other way to do it". All eyes moved to him.
"Me and Shuri worked on an algorithm to wipe the magic Wanda has in y/n's head... But it will be excruciatingly painful".
