Bucky X Reader || Never Do That Again (COMPLETED)

Chapter 26

"Wha- how?!" You stared at Steve, stunned in place.
"Does it matter? He has it, which means he's one step closer to destroying everything".

Tensions were high as everyone cerebrated around how to stop Thanos.
In the heat of the tension, Tony stood up and left the building without any information on where he was heading. The only people left in the room were you, Nat, Steve, Vision, Wanda, Bruce and Bucky. As for the rest, god knows where they had gone.

"Listen, we have one stone right here" Nat broke the silence as her eyes fell upon Vision "we have to protect it".

Vision was leaning against the wall, isolated from the others "no, we have to destroy it" everyone looked to him in confusion "I've been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head. About its.. Nature" he looked to Wanda "but also it's composition. I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something very similar to it's own signature, perhaps" he slowly walked up to her, hoping to convince her.

"It's molecular integrity could fail" you saw the defense in Wanda's eyes as she stared up at Vision, speaking soft but firm "yeah, and you with it. We're not having this conversation" she shook her head, evidently uncompromising.

"Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can't get it" Visions's voice was quiet and apologetic but no decision this big was going to be made right now.

"That's too high a price" Wanda shook her head in disbelief before walking out of the room and causing the room to fall back into unnerving silence.

You looked from Steve to Vision who had now turned to face him. "Thanos threatens half the universe, one life cannot stand in the way of defeating him" you hated the words coming out of Vision, but this was something much greater than any of you.

"But it should" Steve dismissed Vision, gazing at the ground "we don't trade lives Vision".

Bruce walked closer to them both, as you watched him slowly reach out his hand "guys, there may be a way" he pointed at the stone in Vision's head "if we take out the stone, there's still a whole lot of Vision left, perhaps the best parts" both yours and Nat's eyes lit up in hope.

"Can we do that?" Nat asked, inching closer. "Not me, not here" your body deflated as though that glimmer of hope had been sucked out almost as quick as it came.

"We need somewhere, someone with much more advanced equipment than me, someone who knows more about this field" Bruce backed away, almost as if he felt guilty for even mentioning it.

After a long pause, Steve spoke up "I know somewhere".

The ship landed in a place called Wakanda, you had never been there but you had heard endless stories about it. The place looked even better than you had imagined.

The entrance to the ship lowered to where a group of soldiers stood waiting for your arrival. A man stood in front of them all as he greeted Steve before looking to you " welcome, you must be y/n, I've heard a lot about you" he held out his hand for you to shake "I'm T'Challa" you took his hand, nodding without saying a word.

They led you all to their lab, led by a girl named Shuri who took Vision under her wing and layed him on the table. Shuri and Bruce began uttering words that meant absolutely nothing to you as the rest of you stood around, watching.

Just then, the lady beside T'Challa pulled up a hologram of what you guessed was Wakanda, just as an alarm started to ring.
"Something has entered the atmosphere".

All of a sudden you all heard a massive crash outside as the floor began to shake. You ran towards the window to see meteor sized ships and material hurl towards the ground, each one creating a mass of destruction.

"We have to gear up! The protection won't hold for very long" T'Challa shouted, running out the room to gather his warriors.

You and the rest of the team made their way to the battlefield while Wanda stayed with Vision and Shuri. "Y/n, are you sure you're up to this?" Steve looked to your wounds, clearly concerned.

"Yes, besides, I haven't got much of a choice have I?" You sighed knowing this was going to cause a whole lot of pain for you so all that recovery process was for nothing.

Bruce had taken one of Stark's fancy suits while Rhodey and Sam flew around marking the area.

You made it to the ground and joined the warriors already lined up facing the wall; they were all chanting and banging their weapons against the ground which made you feel a little uneasy but you stood beside them none the less.

Aliens and enemies began dropping off ships and walking towards you, some with faces, some without.

"Wait here" Steve muttered to you and Bucky as him, Nat and T'Challa made their way over to the wall where two things stood waiting- presumably the leaders.

"You ready?" Bucky nudged you giving you a look that only showed nerves and guilt. You nodded, squeezing his hand for reassurance.

All of a sudden more and more creatures started piling towards you, all snarling and dragging their claws through the ground as they ran.

T'Challa and the others came back and fell in line with you all as T'Challa began to chant along with the others. It was something you had never heard before but the more they done it, the more you began to admire it.

The creatures crashed into the force field wall as they jumped over one another desperate to break through. Some arms broke in but were instantly cut clean off along with their bodies that penetrated the wall.

"It's not going to hold" you could only whisper to yourself as you watched more creatures appear. And you were right; eventually one creature made it through the force field and began racing towards you. It was soon joined by many more aliens that had also managed to break through.

You looked over your shoulder to see the warriors all taking stance and creating a shield made with the same protection as the wall.

"Now!" T'Challa yelled as his people shot explosives from their weapons robotically. Bucky began shooting at the creatures while Sam flew above them, releasing his drones.

Suddenly the enemies started to circle the wall, surrounding you all. "Cap, if these things circle the perimeter, and get in behind us, there's nothing between them and Vision" Bruce's voice came from inside the suit as Steve frowned.

"Then we better keep them in front of us".

Okoye spoke in a hushed voice to T'Challa "how do we do that" he looked at her with a hint of regret but spoke none the less.

"We open the barrier".
