Winter's Revenge [winter soldier//Bucky Barnes AU]

Chapter Twenty Eight

*Bucky's POV*

Sarah woke me up the next morning, shaking me roughly. I groggily opened my eyes and she smacked me, ensuring that I was awake, which I did not take kindly too. Only she could wake me up by hitting me; anyone else should fear for their lives.

I sat up and glared at her.

"What?!" I asked through clenched teeth. She was lucky I loved her.

But the next words she said froze me in my tracks.

"Loki is here."

I sprang out of bed, immediately grabbing my suit and changing in the blink of an eye. As I grabbed my 5 caliber 500, I glanced over at Sarah, who was wearing her catsuit. She had evidently gotten a new one, because this one had the name Tempest scrawled on the pocket.

"Is Tempest your new code name?" I asked her, as I loaded my guns and attached them to my suit hurriedly. She nodded.

"Yeah. Do you like it?" She asked, and I smiled, leaning in to give her a short, sweet kiss. I pulled away a moment later.

"I love it."

She smiled again and put her guns in her holsters, instead deciding to turn to her ice powers. She flexed her fingers, stretching her arms out, and then turned to the door.

She looked over her shoulder at me, and I nodded. Hesitantly she turned the doorknob. The open door revealed an empty hallway, but I immediately heard shouts and the sound of fighting in the hallway to the left. I brought my finger to my lips, motioning for Sarah to be quiet, and I stepped slowly out of the door.

I crept at a snail's pace, moving silently down the hall. I clutched my gun tightly as I listened to the shouts and fighting. I'm almost positive I heard Steve's voice; and I definitely heard Loki's voice.

Sarah walked gingerly behind me, and as we neared the source of the noise, we hid beneath the stairwell.

I listened for a moment before determining the coast was clear, and we hurried quickly and quietly up the stairs. We were met with a violent scene.

The team was scattered around Loki, fighting him off the best they could. The bastard god had also decided to bring some agents of his own with him, making it harder to attack when someone's in your way.

I jumped into the scene, letting loose a million bullets, all intended for Loki's heart.

*Sarah's POV*

I took a deep breath as we climbed the stairs, letting my body temperature drop as the frigid chemicals inside me swirled around. I felt frost form on my finger tips, and got ready to show Loki exactly what I could do with my powers.

As we rounded the corner and took in the scene in front of us, I knew immediately that we needed to take out the agents guarding Loki. I thrust out my hand and icy arrows shot from my fingertips, imbedding themselves in one of the guards' chests. He fell to the ground and I thrust my hand out again, sending another piece of ice into a guard. Suddenly a guard lunged at me from the right, grabbing my arm and clamping down tightly with his meaty hands. I turned and hurled a ball of frozen ice at his face, and he slumped to the floor. I stomped my foot and ice spread across the floor towards the guards, making them slide and slip and make for easy targets.

Cap threw his shield, hitting several in the chest. Bucky, Tony, Natasha and Clint all began shooting at the guards, taking several out. One man tried to run, and I simply shot my hand out, freezing him on the spot.

A bright blue ball of pure energy suddenly whizzed by my nose, and my heart raced with how close I just came to death. I whipped my head around and narrowed my eyes at Loki, who just smirked, and I ducked as he shot another energy ball at me.
