The russian one

Chapter 54 : Are they two ?

Avengers' POV

     The following morning, everything seemed normal. Tony was working in the lab, mostly to get his mind off. Bruce was going through Y/n's medical results, trying to find a clue at how to change her mindset. Steve was training with Nat and Clint who just returned after the birth of his child. Y/n was in her room.

     Then JARVIS interrupted them, and talked in all the rooms.

"Sir, we have an unidentified aircraft approaching the base."

     Tony looked up.

"How close?"

"Very close, sir."

     Steve immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Can you identify it?"

"No, Captain."

     Tony stood up.

"That's never a good answer."

     The alarm suddenly went off. All the avengers and the agents got ready.

INTRUSION DETECTED.

     Everyone moved. Steve grabbed his shield. Natasha and Clint reached for their weapons. Tony activated his armor. Bruce stepped back.

"Where?"

"Main entrance," JARVIS replied. 

     Everyone got there as fast as they could. The agents had their weapons pointed towards the door. The Avengers were waiting, ready to fight whoever or whatever will enter.

     The doors exploded. A man walked through the smoke. Black clothes. A mask. A rifle. And a metallic arm.

     Steve froze. He knew that arm. He knew that face. Even behind the mask.

"Bucky..."

     The soldier turned toward him. There was no recognition in his eyes, but a little confusion.

"Don't call me that. Where is she ?"

     Steve's heart sank.

"Bucky, it's me." answered Steve, ignoring the question.

     The soldier raised his weapon. Steve lifted his shield. The bullet hit it. The impact pushed Steve backward. Natasha immediately attacked. She threw a punch. The soldier blocked it. She kicked him. He caught her leg and threw her to the side.

     Clint fired an arrow. The soldier caught it.

"Okay," Tony said as he watched the scene. "He's definitely not here to make friends."

     Tony fired. The soldier dodged. Steve charged. Their fists collided. The soldier was incredibly strong. Steve knew that strength. He had seen it before. He had fought it before.

"Bucky!"

     The soldier punched him. Steve blocked the hit with his shield.

"It's me!"

"I don't know you!" Bucky screamed

"But I do! You're James Buchanan Barnes. Brooklyn. The 107e. The Howling Commandos. Do you remember ? The train ? You saved me !" while Steve was talking, Bucky held his head in his hand and frowned but then he snapped.
