Chapter 23

(y/n) POV:

Trying to get your mind off Tony, you began pacing through the hallways, trying to think of something, anything to help Tony. You have no idea where he even is, so portal-ing to him isn't going to work. As you were pacing, you bumped into someone, causing you to fall back, before you could land on your butt, a strong arm grabbed your wrist pulling you back to your feet.

"Bucky?!" You said, finally meeting his eyes.

"(y/n)! It's so good to see you. T'Challa told me you were here."

"Almost against my own will, I'd like to say."

"Something's coming, isn't it?" He asked you, watching you closely.

You nodded, "Yes, and I'm afraid we're all we have."

Before Bucky could say anything else, alarms started blaring through the hallways. The two of you looked at each other before beginning to run to the entry you came through only a few hours earlier. Meeting up with T'Challa and the Dora Milaje, you began walking from the entry where you watched a quinjet touch down, before Steve, Bruce, Nat, Wanda, and an injured Vision walk from the ramp.

"When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, this is not what I had imagined." Okoye stated to T'Challa.

"And what did you expect?"

"Olympics, maybe even a Starbucks." She said back, causing you to laugh slightly.

You watched the group as Bruce attempted to bow for T'Challa, earning him a dismissing hand gesture from the King, "We don't do that here," He said to Bruce, "So how big of an assault can we expect?" He asked the group.

"Uh, sir, I think you can expect a pretty big assault." Bruce said pushing himself to the front of the group.

"How we looking?" Steve asked.

"You will have my King's Guard, the Boarder Tribe, my Dora Milaje, and..." He trailed off, causing Bucky and I to step forward.

"A semi-stable one-hundred year old man." Bucky said.

"And a newly pregnant, ready to fight, mystic being." You said, causing a laugh from Wanda.

Bucky hugged Steve, and you hugged Wanda, also wrapping a protective arm around Vision. The group made their way up to Shuri's lab as they began to work on Vision's mind stone. Nat, Steve, and T'Challa pulled you into the hallway.

"You need to tell us everything you know about this fight." Nat said.

"You know I can't tell you what I've seen. If I tell you anything, it won't happen."

"Then what do you know about the stones?" T'Challa asked.

"Everything you already know. The major thing though, is I am literally born from the power stone. You need to let me take Thanos. There's no other way we're going to win this thing if you don't let me fight."

"Absolutely not. Do you know what Tony would say if we let you fight. You're just barely out of the first trimester, this is danger zone for you." Nat said crossing her arms over her chest.

"I'm pregnant, not paralyzed. Nat, I'm telling you, if I don't join this fight, we're going to lose." You said, begging the three individuals in front of you.

"Don't you think (y/n), if everything happens for a reason as you and Dr. Strange continuously say, that you're pregnant right now for a reason? That maybe, your child is protecting you from something bigger than you've seen?" Steve said, frustrated.
