Chapter 22

2025- Avengers Compound

"Well, it's about damn time." I heard Sam's voice as I entered the compound and felt his body collide with mine.

"I missed you too brother." I hugged him tightly and patted his back rather roughly but he seemed okay with it.

"I wish it was under better circumstances but I'm glad to see you Sammy."

"It's good to see you too and all of you of course." Sam said to all of us and T'Challa gave him a nod.

"Come on, Tony is waiting for you in the lab." Sam said as he put his hand on my shoulder.

Sam directed us up the steps and swiped his ID card to allow all of us inside but before I stepped inside I grabbed Sam by the arm.

"Can I have a word?" I asked and Sam nodded.

"What's up?"

"I don't want Tony anywhere near the fight." I expressed and Sam's eyes widened.

"Why's that?"

"I didn't die so that he could live just for Wanda to reverse all that. I refuse to let that little girl live without her father. Tony will obviously help us plan for the battle but the night before he needs to leave the city. With Pepper and Morgan. Am I understood?" I said more sternly than I wanted but Sam nodded anyway.

"Understood." Sam agreed and we both entered the lab together.

"Did you become a leader while you were gone or what?" Sam asked with a smirk.

"When you know what's gonna happen it kind of just falls in your lap." I said. Sam and I both laughed a little until we turned the corner and all eyes were on us.

I looked around the room to see every set of eyes trained on me. It was weird because I think the feeling I was having was one Steve constantly felt and it was a heavy feeling at that. I looked at Sam who nodded at me to say something but before I could Tony spoke up.

"Welcome back, kid. You ready to tell us the mission?" Tony asked and I nodded.

"Yes but first, someone grab Yelena." I said and Sam retreated out of the room. Of course.

"In the meantime most of us know what's about to happen but for those that don't..." I began as Yelena walked through the door with Sam and her smile turned into a stoic look real fast.

"Something is coming. In 25 days time Wanda and Strange will be back in the city. A fight will break out in the heart of it, more specifically in the Brooklyn area. Your job is to contain it, in the days leading up to this event we will come up with a plan to contain the battle in one area and one area only. We will evacuate all surrounding boroughs, we need to minimize the casualties because I've seen what happens if we don't and it's...heartbreaking to say the least."

"Me, Strange, Agatha, Charles and Erik will face Wanda head on, she will pull out an arsenal on us that includes 2 more superpowered beings and... Vision." I saw the confused look on both Sam and Tony's faces.

"It is not the Vision you know, you'll understand when the time comes."

"As for everyone else, it'll take everyone remaining to clear out the surrounding area. Everyone's job is to protect the civilians. Am I clear?" everyone nodded simultaneously.

"Okay, let's get to work."

I moved towards Tony to have a word with him as Sam pulled up a map on the hologram.

"You won't be involved in the fight." I whispered to Tony but he shook his head.

"You need me, Wanda isn't just your responsibility. I made her an Avenger. I created Vision. I'm half the reason she's lost her mind because I'm the reason you died." Tony stopped abruptly to stop his voice from breaking and I put my hand on his shoulder for comfort.
