This Is War

Chapter Six: It Just Got Worse

It was not even five minutes in the meeting and I heard someone scream.

"Everybody get down!" It was T'Challa. He ran towards his father who was on the podium. Natasha grabbed me by the arm and drug me to the floor, and I covered my head as there was a huge explosion. Glass flew everywhere and there was thick smoke in the air.

"Nat! Natasha!" I screamed. My ears are ringing and I couldn't hear anything. The smoke was so thick and dark. I saw a huge hole in the wall where the king once stood. Everyone was running around or knocked out. I jumped when I felt a hand grab my arm. It was Nat. It looked like she was trying to say something. I mouthed "what". She didn't seem to understand me as she looked very confused. I slowly stood up and leaned on the desk. T'Challa was holding someone very close to him, it was King T'Chaka. My eyes widen. I was shocked and scared at the same time. Natasha pulled me towards the door to leave, and we made our way out of the building.

I was sitting on a bench while T'Challa sat on the bench that was to my right. Natasha walked over and sat down beside me.

"I'm very sorry," Natasha said to T'Challa.

"In my culture death is not the end. It's more of a, stepping-off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veldt where you can run forever," he said.

"That sounds very peaceful," she replied.

"My father thought so," he put a metal ring on his finger, "I am not my father."

"T'Challa. Task force will decide who brings in Barnes," I said.

"Don't bother Miss Stark. I'll kill him myself." He walked away, and Natasha phone rang.

"Yeah?" She put him on speaker.

"You alright?" It was Steve.

"Ah, yeah, thanks. We got lucky." There was a siren somewhere around us and we both heard it on the other side of the call. I looked at Natasha and she noticed.

"I know how much Barnes means to you. I really do. Stay home. You'll only make this worse. For all of us. Please."

"Are you saying you'll arrest me?"

"No. Someone will. If you interfere. That's how it works now."

"If he's this far gone, Nat, I should be the one to bring him in."

"Why?"

"Because I'm the one least likely to die trying." The call ended. Nat cursed under her breathe.

"What are we going to do? He's not gonna stop. This will get out of hand," I said.

"I don't know. But what I do know is that we have to get back." She stood and we got in a large black car that drove us to the private jet.

We were back in the an office full on people on computers or running around. I was sitting in a glass meeting room alone. I knew something was off. Steve will try and find Bucky. Maybe I can find out where he is. So I got up and went to a computer room. The room was completely empty. I sat at a computer and searched Bucky's name in the database that was programmed on the computer. The database was a criminal based database, so every criminal that has a police report is in the system. He popped and all of the crimes that he had done were listed. His location was unknown, should have known. Then I remembered Sam. He would be with Steve if they were looking for Bucky, and he has Redwing. I could hack Redwing for their location. I searched for Sam's name in the database for "enhance individuals" and he popped up. There was a link to his suit. And for Redwing. I clicked on it, but the location was locked. Soon, after a few tricks my Dad had taught me, I found his location. They were moving. I got up and quickly left the room and returned to the main computer room. Neither Tony or Nat weren't in there so I made a break for it. I had on my suit under my regular clothes, so once I made it outside I ran down an alleyway.
