"You need to kill, James Buchanan Barnes."

{•••}

It has been 2 years since Peter went missing. Tony spent everyday searching for anything that could lead him to his son. The other avengers were upset as well.

Steve had grown less patient. He was snappy with the others and lost his kind charm. He didn't draw anymore, just spent his time venting in the training room.

Natasha had gone back to her cold exterior. While Peter was around, she would be slightly soft and let her guard down, but now that he was gone, she was back to the heartless black widow.

Clint stopped cracking jokes and playing pranks. He was quiet and shut out everyone who tried to talk with him about it. Peter was like his favourite nephew that he would do anything for, and now he was gone.

Bucky, unlike the others, didn't change much. He would walk around the tower and try and make people feel better. Something that Peter would want him to do. He tried over and over again for his team to regain their family bond, but nothing would get them to understand.

One day he had just had about enough.
"Friday can you get everyone to come down here please?" Bucky asked. Silence followed for a few moments until Friday spoke again.
"I'm sorry Bucky, all the avengers say they are occupied." Friday replied.

Bucky rolled his eyes. 'Of course they were', he thought. Then he got a new idea.
"Friday tell everyone that the pizza is here." Bucky sighed. He knew this was the only way to get them to come out.

A few minutes later, a bunch of hungry avengers came walking into the living room.
"Wait where's the pizza?" Clint asked as he came into the empty room.

Bucky closed off the exits.
"Sit. Now." He said and motioned to the couch. Everyone knew they wouldn't get past him so they reluctantly sat down.

"What do you want Buck." Steve snapped. Natasha didn't say anything just rolled his eyes. Tony had his eyes glued to the Stark pad in his hands. Clint just sat there awkwardly fiddling with an arrow.

"What I want Steve, is to figure out what happened to us? Do you really think Peter would want this?" Bucky said sadly.

Tony looked up for the first time in ages.
"Would want what?" He asked.
"For us to all change just because he's gone! Nat you've gone cold, Steve you're so snappy, Clint you're too quiet and Tony, you keep your nose shoved in your tablet 24/7!" Bucky exclaimed.

He was about to continue when a window smashed and a figure dressed in an all black HYDRA uniform swung in. He turned his head to look at the shocked avengers standing in front of him.

"Peter!?"

{•••}

D.S went back to his living quarters to get suited up. He took off his training shirt and examined all of the scars that littered his chest area.

He had never failed a mission, but when he did not complete it as quickly as his boss asked him too, he was punished with torture. Or The Chair. He hated the chair. He knew he wasn't supposed to feel emotions, but he felt frightened every time Dr. Zola would strap him  into that chair.

The torture used to hurt. He used to scream. But now all his pain is numb. He lives to serve and to kill. That is his purpose. The only time he screams is when he is punished with the chair.

He slipped on his uniform, covering his scars, and headed out to kill his next target. He had an open comm with Zola so he could alert him of any changes occurring in the mission.

When he arrived, he burst through the window and saw not only his target, but three other males and a female as well. He felt a flicker in the back of his mind when the target spoke.

"Peter!?"

Who was Peter and why was this name causing such a distraction for him. He decided to ask his boss about it when he returned to base. For now, he needed to complete his mission.

He tilted his head and recited what boss told him to say every time his target interacted with him or there were others present.

"I am the Dark Slinger. I eliminate those who pose a threat to HYDRA. Do not interfere with my mission otherwise you shall become HYDRA's target as well."

{•••}

Tony couldn't believe what he had just heard. His sweet and innocent little boy was being forced to murder people! He swore that he would make whoever did this to Peter pay.

"Peter please, it's us!" Steve said.
"He won't understand, HYDRA wiped his memory..." Bucky said sadly.

As soon as Bucky spoke, they saw Peter's eyes shift towards him.
"Looks like Bucky is the target!" Clint exclaimed.

Peter/Dark Slinger charged at Bucky. Bucky dodged, narrowly missing the knife that was being pointed at his heart.

"I'm not gonna fight you Peter!" Bucky yelled. The other avengers circled around Peter.
"We don't wanna hurt you bud. Please, come back to us." Natasha spoke softly for the first time in ages.

They didn't expect Peter to charge at them but he did. They played defence and did their best to protect themselves without getting Peter hurt in the process.

They were actually shocked at how strong Peter was. He had managed to hit Clint hard enough that he had to sit out, and gave Natasha a few gashes on her arms.

Tony didn't have his suit, and he refused to fight his son, so he tended to the injured Clint and Natasha. Steve and Bucky were the only ones left.

{•••}

D.S had taken out most of the people in his way. He was only instructed to kill the one they call "Bucky", so he just hurt the others enough to make them not able to fight. He had one more guy to take care of before he could eliminate his target.

"Cmon Pete, please don't make us fight you." The one with blonde hair said. He couldn't understand why they kept calling him that. He wanted to ask, but knew he was never to speak on a mission unless directed by Zola or the boss.

He charged at the blonde one and held nothing back. The blonde got a few defensive hits in, but eventually gave up. D.S could tell the man was holding back, but that just made his job easier.

Now it was just him and the target. He finally gets to kill and stop holding back. He charged and managed to tackle his target to the ground. He grabbed a gun and pointed it at his head.

"Peter don't do this!" The man with a glow in his chest said.
"Fight it Peter!" The girl said.
"Peter you're not like this!" The man with an arrow said.
"Please Peter..." blonde haired guy said.

D.S ignored him and got ready to pull the trigger. His target closed his eyes so Peter assumed he was bracing himself. Just as Peter was about to pull the trigger, his comm went off.

"Dark Slinger, discard your assignment and return to base immediately!" Zola's voice rang loudly through his ear.

D.S was furious. He had never fled a mission and he didn't plan on this being the first. He broke the one rule of being on a mission. He talked back to Zola.

"Master, I have him right where we need him. I can kill him, why do you want me to flee!?" D.S said nervously. He knew he would be punished for this, but he didn't care.

Zola didn't respond, but instead a sharp jolt of electricity shot through his comm. He remained silent as Zola's sharp voice rang through his comm.

"Return to base, now."

D.S didn't speak again as he jumped back through the window and swung back to base where he knew punishment awaited him. However, he still hadn't forgotten his question,
Who is Peter!?

{•••}

The team was stunned after Peter just jumped through the window. Bucky shakily stood up and his team ran over to support him.

"Are you alright Buck?" Steve asked.
"Yea... but we really need to get Peter out of this control. Did you see what happened?" Bucky asked.

Everyone shook their heads and Bucky explained.
"HYDRA's number one rule on missions is that you never speak. When Peter was about to kill me, whoever is commanding him told him to go back to base, but Peter asked why. He was given a large jolt of electricity as a result which returned him to his robotic state."

"What does that mean?" Clint asked.
"It means, that Peter is gonna get tortured and probably have his memory taken again, so when he comes back to kill me, we need to do everything we can to not let him get out." Bucky explained.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Next time Peter came around, they would capture him and fix him. Before it's too late.

{•••}

When D.S returned to base he was given lots of torture for what he had done. He didn't get the chair, which was good, but the torture made even more scars.

He walked into Zola's office, since he still hadn't gotten to ask him who Peter was. He sat down and began to speak.

"Sir, I had a question about something that happened on my mission." He began.
Zola motioned for him to continue.
"Who's Peter?"

A bunch of guards ran in and were about to cuff him and do god knows what else, but Zola called them off.

"Peter, is the name of a boy you killed. He was your worst enemy and you shall never speak of him again, understood?" Zola said sternly.

"Yes sir." D.S replied. He left the room and was going to return back to his room, when he saw boss call him over.

"Dark Slinger, I need to speak with you." Red skull said. D.S walked into the all too familiar office.

"I am sure you are wondering why we pulled you out of your mission?" He asked.
D.S nodded hesitantly. He didn't want this to result in more torture.
"Well, we just wanted to see who was stronger and it is clearly you. Go complete your mission and eliminate him now." Red Skull said.

D.S nodded and left the room. He finally got to complete the mission. The thought of not completing it did not sit well with him. He suited up and headed back to avengers tower.

{•••}

The trap was ready. Once Peter swung inside, Tony's tech would disable his comm whole Steve and Bucky tied him up so they could figure out a way to bring his memory back.

Shortly after they finished, Friday announced his arrival.
"Sir, Peter is about to arrive." She said. The avengers all got into place.

Peter bust in through the window. He landed on the floor and Tony pressed a button which successfully disabled his comm. Peter was startled for a moment, and the two super soldiers took that time to tie him up and bring him to a secure room where he would certainly not escape.

Combined POV (like Peter still refers to himself as D.S but the avengers refer to him as Peter)

D.S tried to break free of the bonds he was in. He knew he had to complete his mission and get back to base, otherwise he'd be punished. He figured, however, since his comms were off he could speak to his captors.

"Let me go!" He shouted. His voice was dark and raspy from underuse. You don't speak much when you're a super soldier assassin.

"Sorry kid, but this is for your own good." Tony said. He couldn't bare seeing Peter like this. He wanted his kid back. All the avengers did.

D.S was scared. Not of the fact he was kidnaped, but of the thought of what HYDRA would do to him when he returned.

Bucky noticed how scared Peter looked. He knew why.
"They won't hurt you anymore Peter." He said with a small smile.
"You're safe now Pete." Natasha added.

D.S glared at the two adults.
"Peter is dead! I killed him! Whoever he is to you, doesn't matter because he's never coming back!" D.S yelled.

Everyone was taken back by his outburst. Tony walked up to him while Steve followed closely.
"No. Peter is not dead. You are Peter!" Tony yelled, "he is your uncle Steve, she's your aunt Tasha, he's your uncle Clint, he's your uncle Bucky! And I'm... I'm your dad Pete. Please, just try and remember us... remember you." He grew quieter as he spoke the last part.

Something clicked in Peter's head. Memories of him and his family began to fill his mind. All the memories of what he had done as the Dark Slinger were still there, but he had his mind back. He no longer felt controlled. Once again he was Peter Stark. And this was his family.

"Dad?"

One part left! I know this is a really long one shot but just bare with me here. I hope you all enjoyed this and thanks for reading!
