It's Forbidden

Kidnapped

Everyone was in a panic. As they should be. Word spread quickly. The party was over. Everyone who wasn't on the team, left, as soon as Tony gave the word. He practically threw everyone out on their ass when Bucky, Nat and Wanda told him that Aspen was missing. Everyone was on edge, everyone rushed into the conference room when they got word about Aspen.

The entire team met in the conference room. Steve was the last one in. He was already suited up, ready to do whatever he needed to do to get Aspen back, to find her. And Bucky, was also suited up. While they were waiting on everyone he got ready so when they had a lead, they would go find Aspen.

Steve practically ran into the room and looked around at everyone, looked at Bucky. They both saw the pain in one another's eyes. And they tried to fight back the emotion, especially Bucky. He felt like a part of him was missing, and if anything happened to Aspen, he didn't think he would be able to survive. But he didn't want to let himself think like that, he wanted to try and stay optimistic, but due to their past, it would be hard.

"Aspen's missing?" Steve asks as he fully enters the room. Confirming this information with everyone, making sure he heard right. "We don't know if she's missing. Maybe she's just wandering and drunk." Natasha says. As soon as she says it, she realizes how unpractical it sounds. And how wrong it was.

She knew Aspen wouldn't have wondered off and she knew she couldn't get drunk, but she couldn't let everyone freak out. It would do no one any good right now, to get stressed and freaked out. "She wouldn't do that. She can't get drunk and she always comes back to me." Bucky tells her. He didn't care what Natasha said, she was wrong and he needed everyone to know.

"She told Bucky she was going to find you and Wanda. And come right back to him she wouldn't leave." Steve says, defending Bucky. He knew this wasn't like Aspen and he knew that she was missing. He could feel it too. Not like Bucky could, but after he was told something was wrong, he knew there was no making excuses for it, he knew she was really missing.

"Especially without telling me. She's missing. Aspen is missing." Bucky says angrily. He was frustrated they were sitting here talking and arguing over wether or not she was missing when she clearly was. Everyone knew so there was no reason to just be standing here. They should be going out and doing something and not standing here arguing. "Something happened to her. And we need to find her." Bucky tells them.

Peter was in the room and he could since the tension. He knew everyone was hurting and he wanted to try his best to deflate the situation. He wanted to help out as best he could. "I can go look for her around
the compound and stuff." He offered to Bucky. He thought it would help the situation a little bit, but he was wrong.

"She's not outside. She's not in the compound." Bucky yelled. Not at Peter, but at the situation. At everyone really. He couldn't fathom exactly why everyone was still standing there. "Aspen is missing and we have to find her." He yells louder. Everyone looked at Bucky and then to Peter. Nobody really knew exactly what to say, but Sam spoke up. "I get you're upset man. But don't yell at the kid." Sam tells Bucky.

And Peter knew Bucky wasn't yelling at him. So he didn't care. And he didn't know why Sam spoke up about it because he himself didn't care. Everyone was stressed and so far they had nothing to go on to find Aspen, which was the worst part about all of this. Steve didn't like how Sam spoke to Bucky, he didn't like how in this kind of time everyone was at each other's throats and picking fights.

"Well someone needs to do something. He has a right to be upset I'm upset. She's not here." Steve speaks up. His voice was not raised too. "He wasn't yelling at
me he's just worried." Peter says, standing up for Bucky. He was normal a neutral party, but he hated everyone fighting so he wanted to speak up and try to make the situation better. And thank god, Tony stepped in too. And he had answers.

He had gone and found the compounds surveillance footage from outside where Aspen was last seen. He looked at it while the team gathered together, walking in the room, he stood in-front of everyone. "Ok." He says as he enters the room. "I checked the surveillance.
You aren't going to like this." Tony says.

Bucky just wanted the bandaid ripped off. He didn't need sugar coating and neither did Steve. The both of them just wanted to know what happened to Aspen. They didn't want to be talked to like toddlers or like they were fragile and would break, they needed to know exactly what happened so they could do something about it and save her. Help her.

"Aspen was kidnapped." Tony says. Which they pretty much all already figured out by now, because where else would she be, what else could have happened? There was no explanation other than the fact that she was kidnapped. "You couldn't have said that a little easier Tony?" Wanda asks. "How else would you like
me to say it? Would you like me to take time out of this life or death situation to sugar coat it?" Tony asks.

He was just as worried as Bucky and Steve. He didn't have time for sugar coating, they needed to help Aspen. "Will everyone stop arguing and find my sister?" Steve asks. Finally putting his foot down. "Do we know who took her?" Bucky asks. "No, all that was caught on camera was someone in a mask coming up from behind her and putting a rag over her face." Tony tells them. "Then she passed out and they took her."

Bucky's phone rings suddenly and everyone turns to look at him. He takes his phone out of his pocket and looks at it, Aspen's name was on the screen. Aspen was calling him. He picked it up as fast as he could and he didn't waste a minute. "Asp? Baby is that you? Are you okay? What happened?"
