She has no words for Tony as he shifts onto his knees. The despair clear as day in both of their eyes. She could see the guilt in his eyes, but also the anger, the pure frustration and rage. She had to be cautious, but this was her son. He wouldn't hurt her. No matter what they had been through.

"Save your pity party for someone who cares." Tony snaps bitterly.

"I'm not here to pity you." Mary responds, her son's eyes looking up at her. "I'm here to ask why." She asks as she bends down, getting onto her knees slowly to be eye level with her son.

Tony scoffs, looking away from his mom. The guilt eating away at him for what he's caused. "Why? You're really here, after everything that's happened. You're here to ask why."

Mary nods slowly, "No matter what happened. You will always be my son, Tony. But that doesn't negate the fact that you tried to kill my brother and husband."

"He killed my parents." Tony snaps.

"The Winter Soldier killed Howard and Maria. Not James." Mary snaps back in her husband's defense. She was going to defend her husband until she was no longer on this Earth. She knew her husband felt every action he had done. But he also regretted every single one. Each trigger pull, each cut of the knife. He felt it all inside of him.

"It was still him." He snaps once more, neither party was going to convince the other and they both knew that. "It was still his hand that wrapped around my Mother's throat and killed her."

"He was being controlled by Hydra, Tony. You may not see it now, but that's the truth. What would you say if it was me, that i was the one being controlled by Hydra?" Mary asks. Asking her son to put her in Bucky's place. To try and see if he could see it clearer.

But Tony doesn't answer. And Mary knows no more needs to be said. She stands back onto her feet, her back screaming at her to stop moving but she still has to meet her brother, daughter and husband back at the quinjet. She looks back over her shoulder, seeing her son still on the ground, "I love you, T." She mumbles, "To the moon and back." She adds before leaving the room.

One week later

Mary shifts in her bed, snuggling deeper into the comforter as the light begins to shine through the curtains in her room. Her ears could pick up the bustling streets below where they slept. The goats in the distance calling to each other. She groggily opens her eyes, but closes them when she feels an arm pull her into another body. Her bandaged back softly collides with the firm chest of her husband. She smiles softly when she feels a chaste kiss being planted behind her ear, "Go back to sleep." The gruff voice of Bucky Barnes fills her ears. "We don't need to be awake right now."

"We have to get up eventually." Mary points out quietly. "Steve will be wondering where we are."

An audible groan rings through the room, causing Mary to laugh at her husband, "That punk can wait. I need time with my wife." Bucky states, rolling Mary off her side of the bed and onto his chest. Her arms rest on his bare chest as a pillow for her chin. Bucky wraps his only arm around her waist carefully, being mindful of the stitches and bandages on her back. Steve had left a few days ago after settling in where they are now to rescue his teammates from the Raft. He had taken Becca with him as backup just in case it was needed. They had only arrived back the previous night in time for what Bucky had planned.

The wife rolls her hazel eyes playfully, a large smile gracing her lips as she looks at her husband. She had trimmed his hair just a little when they arrived and she wasn't in too much pain. He also had trimmed the scruff of his beard just enough for Mary to be happy with it. They had married long before beards came back into style. Most men, like Steve, preferring to be clean shaven. But Mary had grown fond of her husband's beard. Finding it pleasing to her eyes as well as maturing him.

"You've had time with me. We've barely left this room since we arrived five days ago." Mary reminds him, Bucky huffs in a pout. They had arrived in Wakanda two days after the events in Siberia. T'Challa had expressed to Mary that he wanted to make amends for the wrongdoings he had done. Particularly his claw marks on her back. Mary knew that if they were going to be on the run, the safest place they could be was in Wakanda. "We are parents you know, our daughter will be curious as to where we've been." She points out, "Plus you agreed to do this, wanted to do it even." Mary adds, "And that's today."

The Barnes man sighs, but nods, "Alright." He states. Bucky opens his mouth to say more but he closes his mouth. Mary brushes his hair out of his eyes, she smiles softly when Bucky kisses her palm.

The comforted silence between the husband and wife lasted a little while longer before Mary lifted her head up slightly, "What?" Mary asks quietly, not understanding why her husband was simply staring at her with a small smile rested on his face.

"You're just so goddamn beautiful." He replies, "And you're all mine. How did i get so lucky?"

Mary feels her face heat up slightly, shaking her head as she leaves the comfort of Bucky's embrace to sit on her side of the bed. She pulls her knees to her chest when she looks over at her husband. Also pulling the sheet above her chest to cover herself. "I'm the lucky one." She states quietly. Looking down at her body, she takes in the fact that she can't see her ribs anymore, not like she had in the past. Her body had gotten healthier. And she was grateful for it. Mary had news as well, but she wanted to tell Bucky before he went under Cryo. "I need to tell you something." She starts, Bucky looking at his wife with intent when she speaks.

"Doll?"

"I didn't find out until the doctors here patched me up." She explains, then looks at her husband's blue eyes, the very same eyes as their daughter. "I'm pregnant."

The family of four were in the lab as doctors, along with Mary, prepped James Buchanan Barnes to go back to sleep in a cryochamber. Becca stood beside her uncle as Mary was beside her husband, finishing up with a syringe she was using on him. The wife had shared the news with her husband about their expectant child. He was over the moon, but the dread of him going back under was setting in his mind. What if he didn't wake up in time to see their precious little baby be born? Bucky would have missed yet another milestone in their family's life. He had already missed Becca's, and missed the birth and passing of their second daughter Winnie. He wasn't going to miss this one.

Mary places a cuff over her husband's metal stump of an arm. She pats it once it's in place and Bucky grasps her hand gently with his flesh hand, bringing her knuckles to his lips, and gently kissing them. Steve smiled softly at the exchange when he steps forward. "You sure about this?" He asks his brother in law, wanting to make sure that Bucky was absolutely positive about going back to sleep in a cryochamber.

The brother nods, "I can't trust my own mind." He states, looking over at Steve and giving him a soft but sad smile. The words that Hydra had put in place in his mind were still there, Zemo had taught them that. And if they wanted to make sure the world would stay safe, then the words would need to be removed. But they didn't know how yet. "So until they figure out how to get this stuff out of my head I think going back under is the best thing." Bucky continues, explaining his reasoning to Steve once more. He pulls his wife in between his legs, Mary now standing under her husband's head, his arm wrapped around her neck loosely. He looks down at his wife, his hand grazing her flat stomach, "For everybody." Bucky mutters.

Steve nods, then pauses, looking his sister over, "Mary?" He asks cautiously, not understanding what happening with Bucky and his sister.

Mary smiles softly, "I told him this morning.. that i'm pregnant." She says to her brother and daughter. Becca grins, rushing over to her parents.

"Mama, truly?" Becca asks softly.

The expectant mother nods, "I am. I found out when Shuri and her doctors fixed me up. I had no idea. But i know when it happened." She explains, smiling softly as she looks up at her husband. Bucky only chuckles under his breath as he presses his lips to her temple.

Steve smiles widely, wrapping his arms around his sister, "That'll be exciting." He says, "But that means you're staying here. In Wakanda, where T'Challa and the other here can keep you and the baby safe."

Mary nods, "I understand, i'll stay here. This is the safest place on Earth." She points out, "And i'll be staying with Ramonda and Shuri in the palace." Bucky and Steve both nod in agreement and comfort, knowing that Mary will be safe and taken well care of. Mary turns to her daughter, wrapping her arms around her, kissing Becca's forehead, "But you're going back to Queens." She states.

Becca's eyes widen, "What? Mama.. I can't."

"You can and you are." Bucky agrees, feeling odd for stepping in as his role as a father but a good feeling. "Despite people knowing who you really are now, Stark wont let anything happen to you. You'll be safer in Queens going back to school."

Becca sighs, messing with her nails as she leans into her mother's embrace, "But i don't want to see Benji. He was against us at the airport."

Mary shakes her head, "He was there to keep you safe. True it was misguided, but he was there for you. Because he loves you."

Bucky and Steve both glance at each other when they hear that Becca's boyfriend was at the airport. "Did we miss something?" Steve asks.

Mary's eyes widen when she realizes that she had just given Peter's identity away to her brother and husband. She had always been so careful, but with everything that had happened. She had slipped. Mary looks over, sighing, "It was bound to come out sooner or later." She mumbles under her breath, "Becca's boyfriend is Peter Parker, you both knew that. But what you didn't know was that he's also Spider Man."

Steve's eyes widen, "The kid from Queens that we fought on the tarmac is B's boyfriend?" He questions, and both women nod.

Bucky leans his head back as he takes in the information, "I really want to give that kid a piece of my mind now." He grumbles.

"But i still don't want to see him, Mama." Becca mumbles softly, "I don't know what i'd say to him, or anyone else." She states.

Mary sighs, "I know, Baby. But you need to go back. And things will work out as they're meant to. You may have to answer a lot of questions when you get back, but you'll have to push through that."

"Will you come with me?"

The mother hesitates, wanting desperately to be by her daughter's side. But she can't. "I can't, i gave up my cover as Elizabeth Bryne when you and your Pa were in the containment units. Well, actually you gave my cover up. But i don't really care at this point." She states, "it was bound to come out sooner now that your Pa had been found. I was going to give it up if i needed to anyways to save you both if i could."

Steve nods slowly, "We're outside the law now, B." He tells his niece, "You might not be though because of your relationship with Tony. He wouldn't let anything happen to you. The letter i wrote him asked that he'd look out for you."

Becca nods slowly, "Then what's going to happen to Captain America and Starlight?"

Mary and Steve glance at each other, "Captain America isn't me anymore. I can't be him and protect you all now." Steve answers, "Natasha as well, she has to go undercover because she helped us escape. And Sam.. but that's for us to figure out. You have to just continue being you." He tells his niece with a soft smile, placing his hands gently on her arms.

"And what if the bad people come after me? The governments don't like us now." Becca asks, looking at her peers. Her parents and Uncle. The three out of five most important people in her life.

Mary and Bucky glance at each other, nodding slowly, "Then i'll have to step in and talk to Tony if he doesn't already know about it. He's your best option at staying safe."

Becca nods, then walks out of her Uncle's arms and over to her father. She wraps her arms around his torso, snuggling her face into his chest, "I love you, Papa." She mumbles, "We'll stay safe here while you're asleep so you can come back and not need to worry about us." She states with a smile on her lips as she looks up at her father. His own smile staring back at her as he moves her chocolate brown hair from her eyes. He kisses her forehead as he steps off the table he was sitting on.

Mary walks over to her husband, standing up on her toes as she presses her lips to his own. When they break apart the couple leans their foreheads against each other. "Come back to me in one piece." Mary states softly, a wide smile on her lips, "I need my husband." She teases quietly, "And this baby needs his or her father."

Bucky smiles softly, squatting down to face his wife's stomach. He presses his hand on her stomach gently as he presses his lips to the fabric of her shirt over her invisible baby bump. "моя любовь к тебе бесконечна, мой драгоценный малыш." My love for you is endless, my precious little one. Bucky whispers to Mary's stomach before he stands back up and walks over to the cryochamber the Wakandan doctors had made for him.

The wife, brother and daughter watch as the door slides up around him, sealing in it's place. The gas entering the chamber and they watch as Bucky closes his eyes, going to sleep. Mary only hopes that it's peaceful.

When the now family of three step out of the lab, into a large room with a wall made of windows, overlooking the forests of Wakanda, they're met by T'Challa. Steve stands, looking out the windows with his hands in his pockets as Mary and Becca stand on either side of him, T'Challa walking up beside his friends. The King looks down at his oldest friend, Mary.

"If you say you're sorry one more time, T'Challa, i'm gonna lose it. I've already accepted your apology." Mary states jokingly before the King says anything, causing the man to chuckle at his friend. "But thank you for this."

T'Challa nods slowly, looking at his friend, "Your husband and my father, they were both victims. If i can help one of them find peace.." The King trails off.

"You know, if they find out he's here they'll come for him. For us." Steve points out, looking over his sister's head and at the man he can call his ally and friend now.

Mary notices a slight smirk on T'Challa's face as he looks out the widows, "Let them try." He states proudly. Mary looks out the windows as the fog over the waterfalls dissipate, revealing a massive panther statue made out of vibranium, truly signifying Wakanda's power and strength.

And with this chapter, Part 2 is done!

Like holy crap this was a lot, major things happened and things will forever be altered. If you haven't figured out what movie Part 3 is going to be, then i'll give you a hint.

Yep, Part 3 will take place within Black Panther. I'm so excited to see where this crazy journey goes for Mary. And she's having a baby. If you've read my one shot book, you'll know who the little nugget is already. If not, i wont spoil it for you, but i highly suggest reading my one shot book, Faultless.

I don't know when Part 3 will be posted, but it'll be sometime after Part 2 of Fearless is complete. If you don't know what Fearless is, you are sorely missing out. Fearless is Becca's own book, based around her and her adventures. Some scenes i left out here in Endless because they will be in Fearless. So Bucky and Sam facing off with Peter? That'll be in Becca's book.

Please give those two books some love while Endless is not being updated.
