Who's the Real Monster (Avengers Fanfiction)

The Calm Before the Storm

We patrolled the town for three days, there was no trouble other than the starvation and the cold.

Bucky had managed to find some supplies from a nearby base, he didn't tell me exactly where he went, but he came back with what looked like his old uniform, a rifle, and two pistols. He also fetched some citizen clothes from the town. We stashed them in an old building in the middle of town.

Bucky and I were padding through the center of town when a boy and a girl caught my attention. They smelled a bit... off.

I could tell Bucky thought the same if his quiet growl was anything to go by.

The boy seemed to notice, "Wanda," he nudged the girl, his eyes didn't leave us.

I nudged at Bucky's jaw with my nose, "Maybe they need help?" I questioned.

He huffed, "Or maybe they're HYDRA," he argued.

"Then you stay here and I'll invesitgate," I told him before I started padding over to the two.

The two stopped walking and watched me approach, I stopped a few feet away and stared up at them.

The girl was a brunette wearing a long sleeve black shirt with a red pull-over, the boy had white tips to go with his brown roots. He was wearing a black jacket with white stripes going down the sleeves.

I heard Bucky whine distantly as the girl crouched and made clicking noises.

I extended my neck and sniffed at her before I moved closer.

The boy crouched down with her after she started to scratch my neck.

I sniffed at him before letting him scratch behind my ear. I sat down and let my tail thump as Bucky whined from behind me, which gained the boys attention.

He made clicking noises directed at Bucky, who flattened his ears and stared at the boy. "I think he is shy Pietro," the girl commented as her gaze moved to Bucky.

Bucky gave a growl and stalked over, stopping a little bit behind me.

"I think he heard you," Pietro commented as he offered Bucky his hand.

Bucky sniffed at him, but didn't make a move to go closer.

It was at that moment, that a woman ran over to the four of us.

Bucky let out a growl, as she got closer.

"There is a man in the church, he wants to speak to you," she was slow to pronounce.

I assumed English was not her first language. The woman disappeared into the crowd after that, I tilted my head as the two stood.

Wanda gave my head one last pat before she and Pietro warily headed in that direction.

"We're following them right?" Bucky questioned, I waited for Pietro and the girl to gain a bit of distance before I got up.

I nosed CAT, who was hidden in my belly fur, nodding in their direction. CAT got the message and headed after them.

"Yep," was my answer before I rose to my paws and trotted after them.

I could distantly see CAT latch onto the back of Pietro's jacket.
