When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
- Just The Way You Are, Bruno MarsWhen T'Challa's on a mission to hurt someone, there's no stopping him. People on the news claim that the attacker is Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier. In short words, Steve's friend from back in the day before HYDRA did...whatever they did to him. T'Challa is running around the city looking for Bucky. He's angry, he's furious, but he's not thinking clearly. I know how much Bucky means to Steve, from my readings and Tony's constant talking. If Bucky's in trouble, Steve would jump in and make things worse for us. He'll even get arrested if he interferes. And now I have to interfere before someone gets hurt. When have I become their babysitter? Can we just arrest Bucky and get it over with?
"I heard what happened, you alright?" Tony asked as soon as I called him through the communicator.
"Peachy," I answered as I flew behind T'Challa. "But I might need some backup."
"Well, I would love to, but little Miss Impatient took my jet."
"Tony!" I snapped. "If it's really Bucky, you know Steve is going to do everything he can to arrest him, no matter what."
"Fine. Let me see what I can do."
"Great."
"Would it kill you to say thank you once in a -"
"Bye, Tony." I shut my communicator off. I don't have time for this.
I found T'Challa climbing up the building before taking a big leap off the roof. He tackled Bucky to the ground, making them roll over. When he got up, T'Challa flicked the claws from his suit. Bucky tried to get around T'Challa, but he kicked Bucky away. Bucky threw a punch, but T'Challa ducked from under him and swung back. He managed to hit Bucky before he jumped up and kneed him in the chest. He was about to claw him again, but Bucky spun around to avoid the attack. T'Challa flipped Bucky over and was about to swipe again, but Bucky grabbed one of the rusted pipes and blocked T'Challa's claws. T'Challa broke the pipe and tried to sink his claws into Bucky's face, but Bucky was holding him back.
I looked up when a chopper was flying above us. They pointed their gun at the two and started firing. I swooped down and blocked the two before conjuring up a force field. The bullets bounced off it. I furrowed my brows when I see Sam coming in and kicking the helicopter away from us. I lowered the shield before I felt my legs getting sweep off from under me. My back landed first on the ground, making me grunt. Bucky grabbed his back and jumped from the roof.
"Raven -" T'Challa called back.
"I'm fine," I said as I got up. "Go."
He nodded before running after Bucky. I flew up a bit before following the pair. Steve soon joins the party and jumps in afterward, chasing T'Challa and Bucky.
"Raven, what are you doing here?" Steve asked while he ran.
"I ask myself that everyday," I answered as I followed them. "Stay out of it, Steve."
"You know I can't do that."
Bucky jumped through hole that led straight under the highway bridge. T'Challa and Steve jumped in after him as I flew down. Man, these guys are fast. I pushed myself and flew faster as Bucky ran past all the cars. A few seconds later a police cruiser came behind us.
"Stand down!" The officer ordered. "Stand down!"
Steve jumped in front of the cruiser and crashed on top of the hood. The car stopped before he yanked the door open and threw it towards me. My eyes widen as I flipped around it.
"Sorry, Raven!" Steve yelled as I flew past him, clearly annoyed.
T'Challa ran on top of Steve's van and followed Bucky. I grit my teeth together before I faze through the floor. I pushed myself more until I flew up and blocked Bucky's path. Bucky skid to a stop before we collided into each other. We both got up. I kicked Bucky in the chest before punching his jaw. He tried to punch me, but I waved my hands to create a small barrier before using more magic to push him back. I lifted my hand to send another wave of magic towards Bucky, but he rolled under it. He ran at me and tackled me to the ground. I thought he was going to punch me, but didn't when a motorcyclist came by.
Bucky got off me and ran towards him. He pulled the motorcycle off the guy and jumped on before speeding down the road. Why are these chases never easy? I got up, only to jump out of the way when Steve and T'Challa drove in front of me. I groaned as I flew up and chased these idiots. T'Challa stood up from the car and jumped off, landing behind Bucky as Sam caught up with me.
"Hey, Rae Rae!" Sam greeted as if we weren't on a mission here.
"Don't call me that," I snapped.
T'Challa had the bike tilted to the side. He brought his claws down and dug them on the road, hoping to stop the bike. T'Challa was about to swipe again, but Bucky kicked him off. I brought my hand up to create a little flying disk for T'Challa to land on. His back hits it. T'Challa crouched down and held on as I flew the both of us near Bucky. Bucky threw one of those grenades and threw it towards the entrance of the bridge. It created this small explosion, thinking it would be enough to distract us. I brought my hand back before pushing it forward. T'Challa jumped off and dodged the rubble before slashing the tires from Bucky's motorcycle. Steve jumped out of the car, making it flip towards the trio.
"Azarath. Metrion. Zinthos!" I chanted.
My magic grabbed the van, splitting it in half. Both halves went around the guys as Steve tackled T'Challa off. Police sirens were coming closer and closer by the second. Steve and Bucky were about to run, but I brought my hands up and trapped them together, lifting them up by a bit. Rhodey finally decided to show up and came down. He raised his arms and pointed the beams at the best friends, or whatever they are.
"Stand down!" He ordered. Steve motioned towards my energy field. "Put them down, Raven." I listened as I slowly put them down and stood next to T'Challa. "Congratulations, Cap. You're a criminal."
A few cops showed up and started arresting Steve and Bucky. One came out and had Sam in cuffs. T'Challa raised his hands before taking his mask off. He looked around the group before his eyes landed on Steve.
"Your highness," Rhodey greeted.
