"So you like cats?"

"Sam."

"What? Dude shows up dressed as a cat, and you don't wanna know more?" Sam asked Steve.

"You're suit, is it vibranium?" Steve asked T'Challa.

"The Black Panther had been the protector of Wakanda for generations, a mantle passed from warrior to warrior. Now because your friend murdered my father, I also wear the mantle of King, so I ask you as both warrior, and King. How long do you think you can keep your friend safe from me?" T'Challa replied without looking back at Steve.

"That depends kitty cat, how long do you think you can keep yourself safe from y/n?" Sam shot back.

"Sam!"

"That was y/n?" T'Challa asked curiously, forgetting that you were even a part of the Avengers with how long you had been away.

"The badass who's leg you busted up and who's fiancé you're trying to kill, yeah, that was y/n." Sam told him, catching Steve's attention.

"Fiancé?" Steve questioned.

"Come on man, you can't tell me you didn't see that ring on her finger." Sam responded with a bit of amusement in his voice.

"I have no fear of y/n." T'Challa spoke up, changing the subject.

"You keep telling yourself that." Steve told him, causing Sam to smirk from behind him. The two of them would get you and Bucky out of this, they just needed a plan first.

After everyone had arrived, Steve and Sam watched with pain in their eyes, as you and Bucky were wheeled off into another room. Steve didn't mean to land the two of you here, and especially not like this, but he knew he needed to help both of you. Sam kept a closer eye on you then he did on Bucky, worrying a bit at the fact that you still looked to be unconscious, and still in your cuffs and collar as well as the glass cell that would shock you too. It pained him to see you this way, he had barely met you before you left with Bucky, but in that short time the two of you became close friends.

Now Steve was in another room talking to Tony, as he tried to convince him again to sign the Accords. He almost had him convinced, that is until he told Steve what would happen to you and Bucky. "Look, we can make the last twenty four hours legit. Barnes gets transferred to an American psych center instead of Wakandan prison. Y/n on the other hand is gonna be a little bit harder." Tony almost mumbled the last part, though it didn't slip Steve's notice.

"What about y/n?" Steve asked urgently.

"When I spoke to Ross, he told me that since she was hiding Barnes, she's gonna have to be in the cell for awhile. I was able to bring it down to a year if you sign." Tony spoke, sounding regretful in his efforts to free you from all of this. You were still like a little sister to him, but his emotions and the Accords didn't work well together when it came to the situation at hand.

"And if I don't?" Steve asked, his tone rising with anger.

"Then Ross says she can't be trusted, she's in there for life." Tony sighed.

"He can't get away with that. She had no part in what happened, all she's done with her life is help people, she was helping him!" Steve yelled as his emotions began to bubble to the surface a bit.

"Helping him hide after bombing Vienna!" Tony yelled back as he quickly stood up, pushing his chair back with a creak.

"She said he had nothing to do with it, that the two of them were in Romania the whole time! I believe her! Tony if you care about her, even the slightest bit, you'll believe her too and end this." Steve shot back in an almost pleading tone.
