"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?"

Bucky looked down at himself in confusion underneath Sam's stare. Wanda glanced over, stifling a laugh behind the back of her hand.

"What is what?" Bucky gruffed in response.

"Man, I know you're upset about Valerie being taken and all but--"

"No, you fuckwad,"

"Fuckw--did he just call me a 'fuckwad'?"

Natasha bit back the biggest grin.

"It has a tracker in it, dumbass. Weren't you listening to me earlier?"

Sam squinted his eyes in confusion. "You can't just, like, carry it?"

Bucky snorted. "And when they infiltrate the tower, do you propose I kill them off with one hand? You know, since the other is holding the damn sweater?"

"I gotta say, cream suits you."

"I will kill you, and I will do it with no hesitation."

"Guys, stop, Valerie wouldn't want this," Natasha begged sarcastically. "She'd want you two to get along,"

"Quit talkin' like she dead," Sam rolled his eyes.

"The idea is Buck will wear the cardigan, hopefully lure them into the tower. If he's right and all they want is him, they'll have no problem returning Valerie in exchange." Steve explained, tightening the gear underneath his shirt.

"And then what do we do when you're back with MONA? You know, the entire reason y'all had a whole break up season in the first place?"

"The reason for their breakup was because he lied about having amnesia," Natasha pointed. "Not because MONA took him,"

"She honestly was ready to get on one knee when we broke you out of hypnosis--"

"Can we focus?" Bucky snapped. "Or shall we go down memory lane of my and Valerie's relationship first?"

"Well when you make it everyone's problem for like nine months--"

Bucky scoffed. "I don't make it everyone's problem."

He looked to Steve for backup, who simply looked down at his feet. Natasha and Sam stared, grinning, while Wanda sheepishly shrugged.

Bucky leaned toward Steve, his voice dropping low. "Do I make it everyone's problem?"

"Well--"

Suddenly, dozens of soldiers burst into the common area where they were all sitting. The team jumped up, ready for action, surveying how many were piling in. The soldiers donned all black with a simple red emblem on their sleeves: an eye with an M strewn through it--the mark of MONA.

"Avengers, common area, now!" Steve yelled into his comm system.

"There must be more coming," Nat yelled as she kicked through three men.

"Locate Valerie as soon as possible!" Sam replied.

Bucky tore through a dozen soldiers, his rage and angst fueling his fists. He knocked out several more, scanning the room for any sign of her, or him. As it became clear she wasn't going to be in this room anytime soon, he continued with fighting his way through. He ducked to dodge a punch, throwing an uppercut at the soldier guarding the common room door. He slid through it, finding himself in the empty elevator bank.
