── SOKOVIA ACCORDS ──

── ☆ ──

It's been around five months since Bucky and Alessia arrived in Bucharest, Romania for their holiday to regain our memories. They were staying in an average apartment with cable tv and crappy wifi but they spent a lot of time talking about their nightmares and memories along with training. Steve had contacted them a few times to check-in, he had informed them that Darla was a Hydra agent after Alessia the whole time.

Despite the true intentions behind the sudden vacation to Bucharest, Bucky and Alessia had spent quite some time entangled under the sheets while giggling like a couple of teenagers. They had more understanding of each other's physical shells than the concept of their broken walls within the catacombs of their minds.

Alessia was currently writing in her journal with the TV playing in the background. Bucky was out getting some groceries as they were low on food considering super-soldiers have high metabolisms which meant they ate more than a normal person would. Alessia had just had another mission resurface in her mind and it was more draining than the other memories that consumed her almost daily.

I had my orders, they informed me of who my target was. He was a man in his late forties and he was a massive threat to Hydra. They told me about his connection to the known organisation, Shield and despite Hydra's infiltration of the organisation; there were many threats who were close to finding the traces of Hydra. They told me this had to be a point-blank kill, he had many enemies so solving the case would be difficult.

I was jumping across the buildings to get to my targets home, I started to notice the familiar feeling I was getting in this area. I dropped from the roof onto the balcony, I spotted my target getting out of a car saying goodbye to someone before walking up to the door of his home. I made my way into the room as I heard his footsteps coming up the stairs.

I was seated in the shadow of the room as the man entered, he was laughing and swaying, heavily intoxicated. He took off his jacket and sat down on the end of his bed, "So, they've sent you after me." I stayed silent and still, I wasn't expecting the man to know that I was there. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna fight back. I sealed my fate long ago, young one." I stood up and walked towards the target, standing in front of him.

I looked into his eyes, they held no fear, no sadness and no pain; just pure contentment. "You don't know me Alessia, but you will." I raised my gun, resting it against his head as he gave me a sympathetic smile. "It's okay Alessia, everything will fall into place. And when it does, you must accept the fate that you sealed." And with that, I fired the shot, left absolutely confused.

I left out the balcony door and climbed up on to the roof, making my way back to the compound when a sharp scream echoed through the streets from the very house I had left. I made a sudden decision to turn back and watch as the woman standing there cried, holding the dead man in her arms. "Daddy!!" She was barely seventeen as tears fell from her face.

The police arrived at the scene followed by an ambulance as they escorted the young girl out, "Did you see the person who did this?" An officer asked the broken girl and she shook her head, "I... I didn't... I... didn't even hear the gunshot..." She continued crying as the officers escorted her to their car, finally content with the scene in front of me, I returned to the compound.

Alessia heard the door open followed by the jangle of keys, she lifted her gaze as Bucky walked in. "Hey Bucky," he smiled at her as he put the bags onto the counter, walking over towards her before leaning down to place a loving kiss on her lips. "I'm still getting used to you calling me Bucky," I giggled at his expression, "You know you love it more than James."

He smirked before picking her up and putting her into his lap as he sat down, "At least you still call me James when doing a certain action." She slapped his shoulder lightly as the images of the passionate night before raced through her mind causing me to bite her lip. She watched as his eyes darkened slightly before he moved her to straddle his waist.

Alessia leaned down, connecting their lips as Bucky's hands gripped her waist pulling her flush against his body. Their kiss heated up as they moved their lips passionately together, both fighting for dominance which Bucky eventually won. She ran her fingers through his newly cut hair, his style was back to his look in the 40s, tugging slightly causing him to groan.

She began moving her hips against him as his hands moved under her shirt, his kisses moved to her jaw than to her neck where he began leaving his little 'love marks' as he so lovingly called them. She let out a moan causing Bucky to pull her harder against him before slamming his lips back onto her own. Then the phone started ringing causing Bucky to lean his head back onto the couch with an annoyed sigh making Alessia laugh.

She reached over to her phone and looked at the screen before answering, "Hey Stevie, you've upset Bucky." Alessia giggled as Bucky glared at the phone while Steve apologised for interrupting. Bucky wrapped his arms around Alessia's waist as she rested her forehead against his. "It's all good, what's going on?" Alessia asked as she wiggled her hips with a smirk.

She smiled at Bucky as his eyes closed in frustration. "Have you heard about Lagos yet?" Steve asked, defeat clear as day in his voice. "No, I haven't heard anything. What's happening Steve?" He sighed and she could tell he wasn't doing well. "Steve, do you need us to come to you?" Bucky made eye contact with Alessia as he listened to Steve explain the Rumlow situation that happened.

Alessia took a deep breath, "Poor Wanda. She was just doing her best to save your ass, but why'd you freeze? Bucky is here." He audibly sighed again, "He began telling me about how Buck remembered me after the bridge and explained what it was like seeing him being wiped..." Alessia could tell that Steve was hesitant in his explanation as Bucky had a sympathetic smile on his face.

Alessia gave Bucky a quick kiss before smiling, "Relax Stevie, we aren't fragile. So what's happening now then?" Steve began to explain the new order being put in place along with the Sokovian Accords which were signed by 117 countries. Alessia felt annoyed by this, they were back to square one, they were being controlled again and this could cause some serious issues.

They told Steve to keep them updated with everything and that they would be on his side no matter what. Alessia looked at Bucky who seemed very deep in thought, "What's up?" He smiled at her before pulling me into a kiss. "How do you feel about early retirement then?" Alessia giggled at his question with a shake of her head before kissing him again.

Later that night, Alessia was tossing and turning in her bed as more nightmares consumed her. She jumped up as Bucky began yelling in his sleep, nightmares drowning him too. Alessia let out a slow breath before sneaking out of the bed to her journal, she wanted to write it down;

I had the usual procedure before I was taken into a new room with people I had never seen before. I stood in place like I was ordered, watching them as they filled needles with different chemicals before whispering amongst themselves. My main handler, Brochelli, stepped in front of me with a sickening smile, "We are going to advance your mind." He spoke in Russian.

They tied me down onto the same chair that holds every memory, every tear and every nightmare. I watched as they prepared me for the new injection, one of the doctors approached me with a sympathetic smile on their face. As she wiped my arm, she looked at me in the eyes, "I'm so sorry for all of this..." I continued looking ahead of me like I'm ordered too.

I closed my eyes as they injected me with the first needle, my body relaxed uncomfortably due to the liquid causing my head to feel light. "Continue or die..." Brochelli spoke with anger in his tone. They proceeded to inject the new chemical into my body, at first I felt nothing then I was hit with so much pain I began thrashing around.

They held me down as my body screamed at me, my bloodstream felt like acid and my head felt like it may explode at any point in time. Suddenly, I heard a voice that was unfamiliar to me, "Hello my child..." I slowly opened my eyes and instead of being in the unusual room, I was kneeled down with millions of stars surrounding me.

I lifted my head to be met with a hovering chair, a giant purple being seated on it looking down at me with a smile. "Who are you?" My voice seemed so foreign to me as he stepped down from his chair. "I am a great titan destined for greatness and you, my dear, have no idea how powerful you will become." He smiled at me and I instantly became uncomfortable.

I stood up, ignoring the pain I felt that threatened to make me collapse, "I doubt some freak like you are destined for 'greatness' considering everything about you is making me not trust you." He chuckled at my words, "I will create balance and you can't stop that." I scoffed at his statement, "Are you sure I wouldn't stop you?"

His smile faded as he leaned down to me, "You may have some connection allowing you to be here right now, whatever you are, you cannot stop me." And on instinct I stepped closer to him, "You will see-" A sudden name came to my mind, "-Thanos-" He stepped back, "I will be your demise." Then my eyes shot open and I was back in the room and I knew, I was destined for something important.

Alessia put her journal down and crawled back into the bed, snuggling into Bucky's embrace. Steve had called them again the next day informing them about the rift in the meeting and about his decision to go against the accords which resulted in 'retirement' which made him laugh. He told Alessia and Bucky that he would come out and visit once things had calmed down, he also said that Sam had volunteered to join him.

Alessia felt extremely uneasy about all of this and her returning memories made her feel more uncomfortable and extremely on edge. Bucky was beginning to notice the small changes and the sudden defensive mode she was falling into, "Maybe we should up the training to help your paranoia?" Bucky suggested. Alessia sighed and nodded as she slumped down on the couch letting the newest memories flash through her mind almost as though it was taunting her.

The couple was currently watching 'Horrible Histories' as Bucky believed it was an 'accurate but comedic way to learn the history of the world' which only made him adorable. Alessia was snuggled up in his arms as the little spoon, drawing random patterns on his arm that was wrapped around her. "I guess that could work, it's just so weird not being on missions..." He huffed to himself, she knew he was enjoying the peace for once.

Alessia smiled as Bucky snuggled his head into her hair, "I love you Alessia." She turned herself around and slammed her lips onto his. Bucky used his strength to lift her onto him as their kiss heated up, his hands began memorizing every part of her body. Just as things are about to get so much better, Buckys' phone began ringing, "DAMN IT STEVE!" Alessia shouted making Bucky laugh.

Bucky grabbed the phone as she moved to straddle him seated, "Hey Pal, what's going on?" Alessia crossed her arms against her chest while Bucky smirked at her, "Alright then, we'll see you in a few." She let out an annoyed huff as Bucky hung up, she faceplanted his chest as he laughed. "Steve is on his way here with news," Alessia lifted her head slightly to look at Bucky, "Greeeeaat..."

Steve turned up with Sam and they began telling them about the Accords sighing which will be happening in Vienna, Bucky and Alessia agreed that it would be a good idea for her to go despite our refusal to sign them. She gave Bucky a kiss and then she went and packed for her trip to Vienna with Steve and Sam, the uneasy feeling returned to her as they got on the quinjet and she suddenly didn't like the idea of leaving Bucky behind.
