(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why am I here?" I whisper towards Tony as I stood next to him behind the rest of the Avengers as we hung towards the back of the meeting room. Pietro was hiding out in his room, making sure to keep out of sight since he was still declared dead so no one is to know that he's alive and that I can bring people back to life or both of us are going to be experimented on.

"Cause he already knows you exist. I was planning on hiding you but no point." I give Tony a pointed look as I lean against the glass wall, my arms crossed. "I don't know (y/n)." Tony sighs out and I nod as we half-listen to what this old man was going on about some surgery or something.

"-but while a great many people see you as heroes, there are some... who would prefer the word 'vigilantes'."

"And what word would you use, Mr. Secretary?" Natasha speaks up and this secretary dude looks at Wanda then at me.

"How about 'dangerous'?" He walks to the side and a holographic screen of a world map pops up. He pulls up footage of all our major fights, New York, Washington DC, Sokovia and Lagos. He showed us footage of citizens all screaming in fear and despair as the avengers left behind destruction and chaos. Everyone around the table started looking grim and regretful.

"Ok that's enough." I pipe up from the back, noticing Wanda being the most affected by the footage.

"For the past four years, you've operated with unlimited power and no supervision."

"Ok and?" I put my hand up like I was in class and the old man looks at me while the others were shaking their heads for me to keep my mouth shut. "After each battle, I have personally screwed myself over to make sure everything is fixed and back to how they were."

"I understand (y/n) and I-"

"-I don't think you do. (y/n), out of everyone, constantly puts her life at risk. Even though I tell her not to," I give a sheepish look as Tony subtly scolds me.

"Agreed. She made sure the helecarriers never crashed into Washington DC," Steve speaks up and Tony brings up the footage of me dissolving the 3 large airships. I wince, remembering the torture I went through as I saw the dark version of myself fall through the sky.

"(y/n) repaired New York overnight," Rhodey adds and Tony brings up images of the day before and next, everything being back to normal.

"She showed tremendous strength in Sokovia when our original plan had failed," Vision says and I clench my jaw as I see my dark self once again.

"She mended my mistakes in Lagos." Wanda mutters softly and the video of me putting the building back together is shown.

"I understand and commend (y/n) for her abilities but she is the one deemed more dangerous." The secretary suddenly brings up multiple footage of me using my powers, of me killing creatures or putting the people around me in danger.

Stop...

"She can't control her powers." Videos of me wielding the multitude of my powers that almost took out villages easily if I lost control.

Stop...

I was bombarded by the evil version of myself appearing on-screen non-stop, the dark figure sneering and filled with rage and darkness as I stumbled back in shock. "Stop it." I gasp out, disgusted and afraid of the person I became in the videos.

"(y/n)." I snap my head towards Tony who I realised was holding my hand gently, soothing the streaks in my arm away. My hands were shaking lightly and I ignore the rest of the meeting, leaving the room to sit on the couch and just take a breather.

What's going to happen when I do lose control?

It's getting harder to keep my powers under control.

The others will have to put me down.

What if I hurt them?

I don't want to hurt them.

I didn't realise my leg was bouncing nervously when I jump slightly as a hand patted my knee softly. "Are you ok (y/n)?" Wanda asks as she sat next to me, the others starting to argue over the Accords.

I knew Tony already made up his mind, his guilt-ridden conscious speaking up for him as he ranted and made his coffee while showing everyone an image of a boy that died amidst the Avenger chaos. "There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check! Whatever form that takes, I'm game."

"Even if it means putting me away?" I sift through the documents and I saw my name pop up a couple of times. I look over at Tony and he kept his eyes downcast, ignoring my comment but I knew it threw him off as he gripped his cup tightly.

"If we can't accept limitations, if we're boundary-less, we're no better than the bad guys."

"If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose." Steve argues back after Rhodey and Tony go off at him.

"We lose our freedom..." I mutter out.

"They will come for us." Wanda holds my hand tightly.

"We would protect you both." Vision smiles at us softly but it doesn't shake the uneasiness. Steve grabs his phone when he gets a message and I know it was about Peggy passing away. He quickly gets up to leave as everyone just continues to argue.

"I'm going to my room." I whisper to Vision and Wanda and they nod, letting me go and I slink off easily without the others knowing.

I need to stay hidden under the radar for a while.

I quickly grab my backpack, heading down the stairs to leave the tower when I see Steve upset and leaning against the railing. "Hey..." I mumble out and he looks at me, eyes red and glassy. I give him a hug, wrapping my arms around his waist and Steve hugs me back. "I know, I'm sorry..."

It's been a couple of weeks now since I had left the Avengers Tower, hanging around in Vienna and making sure that no one knew where I was. I was living in a modest apartment, stealing money from the bank to use for basic necessities while I waited for the sign that Steve finds Bucky so I could join him.

I didn't want to sign the Accord and give my freedom away.

I was watching the news at the moment - not like I understood it - but I saw Steve, Sam and T'Challa chasing after Bucky in one of the highways. "Steve finally found him." I sigh out, getting up as I changed into my suit and stuff my cash and belongings in my bag before slinging it over my back. I flew out the open window, heading straight for the smoke and destruction in the far distance. I fly through the tunnel, fixing whatever damage there was on the way and shooting out of the entrance.

Bucky threw a grenade against the roof at the exit of the tunnel and it explodes, Steve jumping out of the car as it crashes through the rubble and flips towards the guys. I quickly land in front of the boys, throwing up a wall against the car.

"(y/n)!?" Steve gasps out and I turn around.

"It's you." Bucky mutters out and I'm surprised he remembered me. I suddenly hear the sirens of multiple cop cars and I drop the wall.

"And that's my cue to leave. Nice meeting you T'Challa." I salute the boys before splitting the floor below me and sinking through the ground to the underground train station, the rubble melding back together above me. I fly through the walls as they split apart for me, heading back out in the open and into the air as I followed the trucks that had the boys cuffed inside from a distance. 

I stayed far in the sky, using the clouds to keep me hidden as I followed the trucks heading to Berlin from Vienna. Granted, 7 hours was too long for me to fly so I lay on top of the truck for most of the journey. I could hear the boys speaking and I sit up, sinking my head through the roof.

"Holy fucking shit!" Sam screams out as I beam at him upside down and Steve just sighs in disappointment. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack!?"

"Sorry Sam." I shrug, my hair falling over as T'Challa just raises a brow at me. "Hi again."

"What are you doing here?" Steve hisses out lowly, trying not to get the attention of the driver.

"I had to hide from the others and the government. I didn't want to sign the Accord just to be locked away in a cage like an animal."

"So you are (y/n), the powerful being that has the ability to restore anything." T'Challa speaks up but I shake my head.

"Not anything, anything. I do have limits or I would be dead right now." He blinks at me at my words. "Also you haven't asked how I knew it was you behind your mask."

"We have been keeping an eye on you."

"That's creepy. Even Wakanda knows about me." I shudder.

"So why you here, like here. You gonna get us out or what?" Sam asks and I shake my head.

"You guys will be released soon. I'm just joining the ride. I need to talk to Bucky though."

"Why him?" Steve narrows his eyes at me.

"He remembers me. Don't tell anyone I'm here." Before anyone else could say anything, I pull my head out and dive to hide under the car as we got closer to the underground facility.
