It was an otherwise normal and peaceful morning leading into the afternoon. Most of the Avengers were awake and doing whatever they pleased as it was a lazy Sunday. Tony was in the kitchen prepping for the pot roast to slow cook for most of the day in time for dinner that night.

"Hey, Manchurian Candidate? Have you seen Son of Car yet this morning?" Tony asked, referencing the nickname Thor gave Carson that just sort of... Caught on in the tower.

"Hey, movie night went pretty late last night, I'm pretty sure he's still sleeping." Bucky replied off-handedly.

"I'm just saying, the teens have been up for an hour and they're usually the last awake."

"What type of modern teenager has a healthy sleep schedule?" Clint said as he passed by.

"Fair point, but it still stands. Come to think of it... Hey, Rock of Ages, where's the princess?"

"If she heard you say that, that roast would absolutely get shoved down your throat." Loki replied, dodging the question.

"If a woman is to marry a prince, she's a princess."

"She's better than that, she's a Queen. And to answer your question, movie night meant she had to start her "night shift" late. Of course she's still asleep."

"Guys, it's almost noon. Could you at least check on them?" Tony asked. Bucky and Loki both gave short nods and traveled up the stairs to the rooms still with closed doors. Olivia's door was closer, so Loki poked his head in first.

Oddly, she was nowhere to be seen.

Down the hall, Bucky saw a similar scene, the sheets strewn about but no Carson. On the pillow, Bucky spotted a crumpled piece of paper. He picked it up and uncrumpled it.

"Sacrifices must be made, soldat. Winter Soldier for Winter Soldier."

There was no signature, but there was a crude drawing of the HYDRA octopus. Bucky immediately put two and two together and burst out the door. Loki clamored out of Olivia's room at the same time, a panic stricken expression on his face and a similar crumpled note in his own hand.

"She's gone. It was HYDRA. Those bastards took her. They kidnapped my Queen." Loki hissed, gripping the doorframe with white knuckles. He punched the wall with such a force that his hand went right through.

"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down." Bucky tried, though he was hiding a similar state of panic. Loki rushed over and grabbed Bucky by the shirt, pulling him towards him aggressively.

"'Calm down?' You expect me to calm down, Barnes?" Loki snarled.

"Hey, in case you haven't noticed, Carson's missing, too. My Carson, who was held captive for most of his life by those people. What's the worst Olivia's been through?" Bucky snapped.

"Thinking I was dead!"

"There we go again, me-me-me. It's always about you, Your Majesty. Why don't you get off your high horse and think of others for once other than your precious 'Queen.' Or, better yet, how 'bout you fuck one and get us a way to find them."

"That was one time, Barnes!"

"What in the hell is going on up here?" Natasha asked, coming up the stairs to see Loki still gripping Bucky's shirt next to a hole in the wall with two doors open and two pieces of wrinkled paper at their feet. Noticing Nat at the mouth of the hall, Loki let go of Bucky and turned to face her fully.
