#hell is coming

Y/N stared at the screen on her phone. No word from Bucky or anyone else for that matter. She didn’t understand why he wouldn’t come see her or Steven. Maybe he was out looking for Izzy. At that moment, her phone rung….

Y/N: “James, where are you? Why haven’t you been down to the medical bay?”

Bucky: “Doll, m’heads messed up. It’s best for you and Champ if stay away.”

Y/N: “Wh-what? How can you say that? Our daughter was kidnapped, Steven is a mess and so am I. I need you!”

Bucky: “M’sorry, you don’t need to see me like this.”

Y/N: “Like what? You’re scaring me. Why can’t we see you?”

Bucky: “I need you to listen carefully, okay?”

Y/N: “Okay.”

Bucky: “We know who has Izzy...Rodney and Caleb!”

Y/N’s back hit the wall, fighting back the bile rising in her throat!

Bucky: “Babe, are ya still there? Talk to me.”

Y/N: “Y-yeah, I-I’m here. Buck, they’re dangerous alcoholic drug addicts. Izzy’s not accustomed to that atmosphere. Bring her home James….to me….to us!”

Bucky: “That’s my mission! I love ya. Give Steven a kiss from me and his sister.”

Y/N: I will. And James, bring an end to their worthless lives.”

Y/N’s  POV

My heart’s a hollow cavern; my head’s a whirling tornado; the world  has flipped off it’s axis! Rodney and Caleb are two pieces of filth

I realize James doesn’t want us to see him. I’ve never encountered the Winter Soldier but the stories told freezes my blood. I’m afraid for him….for us. His life’s different now. HYDRA no longer has a hold over him, James Buchanan Barnes’ no longer tormented by nightmares, trigger words, blood on his hands. Sure, there are moments of self-doubt, but one look at Izzy and Steven melts all the negativity away.

This is the man I’ll spend the rest of my life with; this is the man who stepped up and not only fell in love with, but gave our daughter his last name; this is the man who’d go down fighting to keep his family safe and secure; this is the man whose arms are home to us; this is the man  with the mega-watt smile. When Bucky enters a room, all darkness has to flee!

Without him, without my kids I’m a shell of a woman. They’re the loves of my life...the air I breathe.

THE DREADED PHONE CALL

Steve, Tony and Bucky sat in eerie silence around the conference room table. The rest of the team filed in one by one. FRIDAY announced an incoming call from a blocked number. “Mr. Stark, I’ll trace their location.”

“Put us on speaker,” Tony requested.

Rodney: “Lemme speak with Bucky.” Hatred dripped from his lips.

Bucky: “Where’s my daughter? I wanna hear her voice.”

Rodney: “YOU DON’T GET TO CALL THE SHOTS….I DO!”

Bucky: “Rodney, I want to speak to Izzy.”

Caleb: “She’s um, tied up at the moment.” Sinister laughter erupted through the phone.

Tony: “This is Tony Stark. What are your demands? We want Izzy home safe.”

Rodney: “Heeey Money Bags Stark. Nice of you to join the party.”

Tony: “You won’t get one dime if we don’t talk to Izzy.”

Caleb snatches the gag from Izzy’s mouth and she flinches at the pain.

Rodney: “Here ya go sweetheart. Let everyone know we’re taking good care of you.”

Izzy: “D-dad?”

The sound of a hand meeting Izzy’s face echoed. Her blood curdling scream shook Bucky to his core.

Rodney became irate. “HE AIN’T YOUR DADDY….I AM. DON’T YOU EVER DISRESPECT ME AGAIN!”

Bucky rose from the table. Steve motioned him to sit back down.

Caleb: “What’s wrong, Winter Soldier? Ya pissed? She sure is a pretty young thing.”

Rodney shoved Caleb away from Izzy. “She’s your niece asshole.”

Steve: “Enough chit chat. Name your price!”

Rodney: “Well lookie here. We got Cap’n ‘Merica on the line.”

Tony: “Name your price.”

Rodney: “ I, no we want 20 million dollars, small bills. Stay by the phone. I’ll call back with details.”

The call ended. FRIDAY gave the team the coordinates to where Izzy was held; Upstate New York, Catskill Mountains.

Steve cautioned the anxious Avengers they’d have to go in stealth mode. “There is no room for error. These guys are loose cannons.”

Bucky inquired, “What happens when they call for the dropzone? They’ll kill Izzy!”

Tony quipped, “Those two are ‘deliverance’ backwoods asses. I’ll have FRIDAY connect the conference room phone to my cell. Easy peezy! Let’s get our Izzy back!”

Strapping on various knives, guns and ammunition, Bucky grabbed his tactical face mask and night vision goggles.

“Buck..?” Steve’s blue orbs met his best friends steely gaze.

“Stevie, DON’T!”

Scott, Steve, Sam, Rhodey, Thor, Tony and Bucky filed into the Quinjet, with Clint already sitting in the pilot seat.

“Barton, set a course for the Catskills. Stealth mode! FRIDAY, what’re the coordinates?” Steve adjusted his shield as the AI piped Izzy’s location on the jet’s screen.

“Hold on baby girl, daddy’s on the way!
