Aftermath [winter soldier//Bucky Barnes AU]

Chapter Eight

SARAH'S POV

Bucky's dreams are often full of terror and torture. Mine are filled with voices.

"Hydra is coming," Wanda whispered to me, her thick Russian accent easy to identify. I saw glimpses of agents standing outside the Avengers tower, holding machine guns and clothed in full body armor. Already what looked like a hundred stood across the street from the entrance, and trucks kept coming in, dropping off more agents.

"You must get past them. Then, meet us in Sokovia. We will be waiting." She whispered.

Suddenly I was jolted awake and I sat up quickly.

The room was dark and quiet. I could feel Bucky breathing next to me, and I could just barely make out Calypso's form in the crib a few feet from the bed. After I got my bearings and took time to breathe, I leaned over and shook Bucky.

"What?" he grumbled, barely even opening his eyes. I shoved him again, and this time he opened them fully and sat up, a little bit annoyed.

"Sarah, what?" he asked, frowning.

"I think we are about to be attacked by Hydra." I said quietly, and he sobered up immediately. Bucky shoved the covers back and headed to the window, scanning for threats. A moment later his eyes went wide, and my suspicions were confirmed; Wanda really was trying to warn me through my dream.

i jumped up and hurried to the closet, shoving my clothes aside and reaching for my catsuit. Bucky grabbed his uniform and slid it on before I even had mine in my hand. The blue cursive on the front of the catsuit read Tempest, and I slid it on quickly, thinking the word over and over.

Tempest. I am Tempest. I thought, taking a deep breath before reaching over and gingerly picking up Calypso. She groggily opened her eyes, yawning widely and making my heart melt. I cradled her to my chest, hugging her tight, and kissed her forehead. Bucky's muscular arms then slid around me, encircling us both in his warmth.

We stayed like that for a few seconds before I spoke up.

"Where do we put her?" I asked Bucky, and he rubbed his stubbled jaw, thinking.

"Stark may have a safe room or a bunker or something we can put her in. Let's wake everyone up and then talk to him," he replied and I nodded.

Quickly, we ran from room to room, silently alerting them to Hydra's presence. The team suited up and soon met us in the kitchen.

It was me, Bucky, Steve, Natasha, Tony, Cara, Clint, Thor, Banner and John, all lined up and armed, with Pepper standing on the side in a robe, yawning. Tony got some extra weapons for Cara and John, and Banner had his headphones in his hand, ready to calm himself down if necessary. Everyone else clutched their weapons tightly.

"There are roughly two hundred or less soldiers out there," Bucky began. "As far as I can tell, they are equipped with machine guns, and they have helmets and bullet proof vests. I have no idea who is currently leading these Hydra agents, but I'm willing to bet that their mission is to kill us and take Calypso. And I'd sooner die than let Hydra take her."

I noticed that his features hardened every time he said Hydra, still harboring rage towards the ones that stole his mind from him. His eyes were dark with dread, and he kept glancing all around the room, expecting an attack any second now. I watched him from the corner of my eye, wishing I could fix him completely and rid him of this anxiety. But for now I had other things to worry about. Blinking, I turned to Stark.

"Tony, I need a place to put Calypso where she'll be safe. Do you have a bunker or some other safe room I can place her in?" I asked him, and he nodded right away, gesturing for me to follow him.
