Continuation of Ultron strikes back(Bucky x reader x Tony)
"(Y/n)..." Both Bucky and Tony said with disbelief lacing their voice.
Ultron's eyes narrowed, if possible. But a look of pure unsatisfaction clear on his face. He killed her before. So, how did she escape death?
Just as he was thinking that, he felt a presence behind him. Ultron quickly turned around and just in time did he catch the hand of Vision, who was about to place that antivirus device on Ultron.
Ultron threw that device away, again. But (y/n) was quick enough to catch it, "Not this time, Ultron."
At the same time, Vision used his mind stone to attack Ultron, sending him on the floor, on his back. Bucky was on his feet again and charged at Ultron at full power. Tony, too, was up and attacked Ultron.
"Enough!" Ultron roared and send off the sound waves, this time a bit too long. Vision wasn't affected but the other three were. They fell on the ground groaning in pain. Vision, tried to lessen their pain by distracting Ultron's attack but Ultron blasted Vision such that Vision was sent flying through the wall of the Tower and straight into Tony's lab.
"Bucky, give me your flesh hand." Tony said to Bucky.
They both held each other's hands and with the other, attacked Ultron but Ultron seemed to be unfazed. He just laughed mockingly and said,
"Do you, Stark, even know who set up my Contingency plan in me?"
Tony let his face plate be moved up so that the others could see his face, "Uhh.. No. Enlighten me."
"It was Hydra. And guess what, the person who brought them the contingency plan from your lab was none other than the man standing very next to you."
Bucky Barnes. Tony gritted his teeth. So much for trust. Again he trusted Barnes and again he turned out to be the one after all of this.
"Do... Do you remember, Barnes?"
Bucky closed his eyes, trying to concentrate. And then he opened his eyes. Oh dear. He remembers. He remembers it all.
"It... It was my last mission. And the person who allowed me into the lab... Was (y/n)." Bucky said in a low voice.
"And you betrayed her?! By stealing-"
"Your pendrive. The one which had the contingency plan. Yes." Bucky's voice was so low that one could barely hear it. But Tony herd it as clear as the day. Tony grabbed the collar of Bucky's red shirt and whispered, his voice dangerously low,
"Are you talking about that time, the first time (y/n) brought you here. On Stark Tower?"
"Yes.'' Bucky whispered softly, not meeting Tony's eyes.
Tony's grip on Bucky tightened, his jaws clenched, "Do you even know how much happy she was to finally have brought the man she loved to her home?!"
But Bucky didn't reply. He stayed silent.
(Y/n), who was on the ground, still recovering from Ultron's last attack, held the device tightly in her hand, and grimaced as she tried to get back on her feet. She placed her other hand on the side of her head, her head felt like it was run over by a truck. So much for being a normal human with training skills. The pain was too much. She struggled to keep her eyes open. But then the dispute filled in her ears. And she made her way towards the two men.
She stepped in between Tony and Bucky, separating them by placing a hand on their chest, and she said, "Guys, this is Ultron's plan to tear us apart. Don't you see the smug expression on his robotic face?"
Both Tony and Bucky looked at Ultron, he really was playing with their minds.
"We'll talk about it later." Tony said and flew towards Ultron. (y/n) swung a kick, hitting Ultron square on the face. Bucky sighed and charged at Ultron too, his metal arm going through Ultron's chest, and pulled it back, leaving a big hole in the robot's chest.
For a second, a glint of hope sparkled in everyone's heart but it was soon crumpled when the hole in Ultron's chest was repaired.
"Silicon technology." Tony scoffed. He should have known. Ultron would never come unprepared.
But just as the hole was about to repair fully, a yellow beam was thrown through it, widening and thus not letting the hole repair fully,
"(Y/n), now!" Vision shouted as he used his mind stone on Ultron.
(Y/n) nodded and planted the device on Ultron.
"Yes!" She said as the device started it's work. Ultron started to malfunction and the red glow in his eyes started to dim. And then it dimmed fully.
"Just do everyone a favour and never come back." (Y/n) said as she got out her g*n from her g*n holder around her waist and fired a bullet aimed at Ultron. The bullet hit the robot on the head and he dropped to the ground with a metallic clatter.
(Y/n) walked up to Tony. A soft smile on her face while a look of pure disbelief on his. The face plate of his suit was raised so that he could have a better look at her. And see if he was dreaming.
She touched his cheek with her hand, her palm pressed against his cheek. He closed his eyes and leaned into her touch. And then his eyes shot open. She is real. All so very real but-
"How?" His mind spoke and not him. Yeah he was happy that she is alive but he wanted to know how.
She smiled at him and said, "Just a little help from an old man who cares for us."
Nick Fury. Tony should've known. That old man has always got their back. No matter what.
Tony didn't waste another second in cupping her cheeks and pressing his lips to her's.
Seeing the two Starks like that, together, a certain super soldier realized something. He realized that those two belonged together. They were always meant to be. If only he hadn't stepped in her life, then Tony would have been (y/n)'s first choice. Bucky scoffed at his silliness. As if Tony isn't the first choice in her life.
Tony pulled away from the quick kiss and pressed his forehead on her's, "Never leave me like that again."
(Y/n) nodded. And then she pulled away from Tony. She needed to settle things with Bucky. Things which were unsettled, now, for 4 long years.
She walked over to Bucky and said, "Bucky, I forgive you." She needn't say for what. He already understood.
"Do you even remember them?"
"I remember all of them."
And that's when (y/n) felt something die inside her. Whatever love she had left for Bucky, died. The compassion she held for him, died as soon as those words left his mouth. How...how could he be so remorseless after being reminded that he had killed someone's parents.
Bucky gave her a soft smile, "Thanks." And he turned around, ready to leave, "And Tony, take good care of her and my daughter."
"Uh-huh. You are forgetting something, she's my daughter too, Barnes."
Bucky smiled. Everybody is safe now. He is assured that the love of his life is in safe hands. So, he can leave in peace. After all, he is sure that Steve had called him here, at New York, for this purpose.
"Hey Starks, if you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me." Bucky said over his shoulder and then went off. Probably returning to Wakanda.
