Split Personality

Chapter Twelve

James' POV

"No, no, no! Put that down now!" I said to one of the goats walking around the area. He picked up tin can that was laying around, surprisingly I named that one Steve since he keeps doing stupid shit. I walked over and picked up a thing of hay before tossing it closer to the goat. I was breathing heavily since I have been doing chores for about three hours and only using one arm which is a lot harder than you might think. "James Barnes!" I turned my attention over to the person who called my name. "King T'Challa. What brings you over here?" I asked before walking over to meet him halfway. He had about four guards with him which had me a little worried since Okoye wasn't with him. "I need you to come with me. We have a little problem that you might be able to help with." I tilted my head at him while also raising an eyebrow, "What do you mean 'I can help you with it'? What is the problem?" I asked. "I'll explain after you get changed. We will be heading over to Shuri's lab when you are done." I nodded before walking into my little hut. "The hell can I help them with? I don't know much about anything!" I thought to myself before I got changed.

I walked back out after about 20 minutes. I thought T'Challa would have left but he was sitting down on a block of hay petting one of the goats. He looked up at me when he noticed I came out. "You ready to go?" He asked. I nodded my head "Ya I am ready. Also can you please explain to me what is going on?" I asked when he walked over. "Like I said before James, I'll explain everything on our way. So let's get moving." We walked over to his speeder but he stopped right in front of the door. "Just a heads up James, this is something you don't have to completely help us with if you don't want to." He opened the door and motioned for me to get in. When we were both seated I turned my head to fully face him, "Again what is the problem?" I asked trying not to sound annoyed which failed because one of the guards in the front turned around and gave me a death glare.

T'Challa's expression went from serious to sadening, "It is about Steve." I clenched my teeth not wanting to yell. "What about him? What happened?" He looked out the window before he continued. "He is missing. Along with Tony. We think Hydra caused this because they got into Steve's head about a month ago. Controlling him just like they did you. Which is why we need your help. If you can remember where they wanted you to go that will help us find them both." I felt anger build up inside of me, "Hydra. Went after Steve?" I think T'Challa could tell I was getting angry since he placed his hand on my shoulder, "James calm down. We will find him. We are just looking to see if they are in any Hydra base we know of." I slowly moved his hand off my shoulder since I didn't want to hit him and risk getting hit myself. "I know we will find him 'cause Hydra would just love to show the whole world that even the great Captain America can be controlled. They will brag and flaunt him off like a trophy. But if they needed Stark, then we can't wait for that to happen. Our best bet is to go to the base in Russia. That seems like the best place to take them." I said. We arrived at the castle right after I finished talking which was convenient.

T'Challa was the first person out and when I got out I saw that the quinjet was sitting behind us. "Who is here?" I asked, pointing towards it. "You'll see shortly James, just come with me. We have work to do." We proceeded to walk to Shuri's lab, which was on the other side of the castle. When he opened the door I could see Natasha, Sam, Clint, and Rhodey sitting around, most likely waiting for T'Challa. "There you are brother. We all started to get worried!" She saw me standing behind him awkwardly as usual. "Oh hey James. Did my brother get you so you can help?" She asked. I slowly nodded. Everyone then looked up at me. "Hey James! I didn't know you were awake!" Nat walked over and hugged me. I awkwardly hugged her back since I only have one arm. "Yea I got out about a week ago so this is all still new. Along with working with only one arm."

Shuri snapped her fingers, "Oh! That reminds me!" She ran over to one of the tables and picked up a suitcase. "If you are going to be helping us, you'll need two hands." She opened the suitcase revealing a black and gold arm. I ran my hand along it, it was cold and smooth. "You made this for me?" I questioned before picking it up. "Yes I did. It is made out of vibranium so you don't have to worry about it breaking." She took the arm out of my hand before walking to stand on my left side. "Here, let me put it on for you." When she was done I slowly moved it up and down while also bending the fingers. It was moving smoothly and it was surprisingly lightweight which is a plus for me. "Thank you Shuri." She nodded before walking back to her computer. "Now I do have an idea where Steve and Tony might be." Everyone turned their attention over to me. "Where?" Clint asked, his tone was curious yet scared at the same time. "In Siberia."

Nat and Sam both looked at one another. "That would make sense since that was the same place we found him the first time." I held my hand up at them, "Wait. This has happened before? Why did you guys come here if you knew what to do?" Sam walked closer to me and crossed his arms. "Well if you just listened to yourself you would have remembered that you said Steve AND Tony, idiot. Tony was the person who found Steve the first time but since he was also taken we were in the dark since even F.R.I.D.A.Y couldn't even find them." I growled at him, "Call me an idiot again and your foot will be shoved up your-" Nat threw a pillow at me. "Enough you two. We can't fight again. We have to find Steve and Tony before something terrible happens to either of them. Now let's get to Siberia" Sam and I exchanged some glares before we walked out the door.

I was the last person on the quinjet which isn't surprising since I didn't want to be next to Sam. T'Challa walked on after me, "I'll bring my own jet just in case they shoot yours out of the sky. Got it Natasha?" He asked. "Sounds great. Don't leave right after, wait a bit just so you don't get caught as well ok?" T'Challa turned on his heels before walking out, "Understood!" He yelled before the panel closed. "Next stop Siberia!" Clint yelled from the cockpit.
