Freedom Is Never Free

4) Wakanda Rehab

Wakanda, Africa/ Palace

Anthony- Every time I got to come to Wakanda it was like my personal playground, especially because I got to work with Shari. (Smiles Brightly)

Steve- I had all I could do to reign Tony in. (Chuckles Amusedly) "I'm so sorry."

T'Challa- Looking down at my approaching friends. "Don't worry about it." Gracefully getting up from my throne, I descend the stairs to meet them. "It's been awhile, how have things been?" I lock eyes with lively grey. "How have you been?"

Steve- I didn't bother answering the King as his questions where for Bucky.

Bucky- Thinking over the questions. (Hums Thoughtfully) "Life has been good, I have been good."

T'Challa- (Nods) "I'm glad we could be of such great help." Glancing at Anthony whom is bouncing around with Shari. "What brings you here, I assume it is of importance?"

Steve- Gesturing to the girl beside Bucky. "We require the same help you gave Bucky, just not as extensive."

T'Challa- Looking the girl up and down. "Who is she to you?"

Bucky- Wrapping my arm around her waist protectively. "My wife."

Steve and Anthony- We look at the couple in shock, then give Bucky a look practically screaming; 'We are talking about this later'

T'Challa- (Hums Softly) "Shari, take her to Cryo and give her the same treatment given to Barnes."

Shari- (Bows) "Yes, brother." Taking the girl, I lead her to the lab.

Later That Night

Steve- Walking out unto the balcony, with Anthony beside me. "Wife, really Bucky?"

Anthony- (Snickers) "Since when, lucky bastard?"

Steve- I glare at my boyfriend.

Anthony- Giving Steve a kiss.

Bucky- I turn to face both Steve and Tony. (Sighs) "Two years after I was taken, she was brought in. Strucker knew since he had us both he'd be unstoppable. He had us married three months before our first mission."

Steve- I honestly didn't know what to say, not that there were any words for this situation.

Anthony- "You got her back Winter, that's what matters." (Smiles)

Bucky- (Nods) "Ya."

Two Weeks Later

Shari- Steve was definitely right, the Cryo treatment didn't have to be as extensive. After rewiring her DNA and healing the rest of her shattered mind, she's perfectly normal. "Alright Bucky, time to awaken her." My fingers fly across the screens as I awaken the girl in the chamber. (Smiles Brightly)

Bucky- I stand before the chamber that once held me for thirty years, bouncing on my feet rather nervously.

Anthony- (Chuckles) I toss a plum at the Soldier. "Calm down."

Bucky- (Glares) Having caught the plum, I throw it back at the scientist.

Steve- I catch the little fruit. "Hey, behave the both of you."

Raina- Having been awake for a few moments now, I watch them. (Giggles)

Bucky- Hearing that familiar and delightful giggle makes me turn quickly as I face mesmerizing emerald orbs. (Gasps Softly) "Raina."

Raina- (Smiles Lovingly) "James." Skipping forward as I jump into his arms.

Bucky- Wrapping my arms firmly around her petite waist. "Боже, я скучал по тебе"

Raina- Pressing my lips against his. "Скучал по тебе тоже"

Shari, Anthony and Steve- (Coos)

Half Hour Later

T'Challa- Shaking Anthony's, Steve's and Bucky's hands. "It is a pleasure helping you and come back anytime." I kiss the brunettes knuckles. "Stay beautiful."

Raina- (Blushes)

Bucky- "Thank you for the help."

Steve- "It was appreciated and we will return the favor."

Anthony- "We will most definitely be back."

Steve- Saying our goodbyes, I wrangle them all unto the jet.

T'Challa- Watching them leave.

Shari- "Brother, she is wanted by SHEILD, they would have been safer here." I hand him the paper, I printed.

T'Challa- Glancing over the paper. "Did they know?"

Shari- Shaking my head. "No, it's a private order that Fury is carrying out himself."

T'Challa- (Growls) "Take care of things while I am gone, I am going to New York!"

Shari- (Bows) "Of course brother." I watch my brother leave after our friends, praying that all goes well.
