"I can't believe we are here with what half of our entire army? No, wait we have our entire army! I am left vulnerable! People will start to attack me! How will my kingdom ever survive this madness!" King Stark was distraught as they rode into the kingdom of Rogerteria in order to help his friend, after receiving a message the previous day. 

"My love," Queen Pepper started "We have our entire kingdom surrounded by borders, we have our kingdom, who I might add, go to training weekly in order to keep them safe, besides you have not been invaded for decades, I suggest you stop worrying, you are here to help your friends." She said sternly to her husband. 

"You know, I love Steven so much... he is like my brother, however, I wish he didn't have to be so vague, because all he told  me was that he needed my ENTIRE army and come to the castle as soon as possible." He complained. 

"If this upsets you so much why did you do it? You could have easily said at the kingdom." Pepper asked him as they pulled around into their courtyard, where Steven and his father were waiting. 

"I like to feel useful." He shrugged his shoulders, he looked out to see that King Nickolous Fury was also standing beside them, "Well this ether was to do with the wedding, or something big" He muttered before stepping out of his carriage, in his kingly attire. He turned to grab Pepper's hand and help her down as Steven made his way over to Tony.

"I can't thank you enough Tony for coming as fast as you did," Steve said shaking his hand before giving a chivalrous smile towards pepper, who was able to see the sadness behind the smile.  

"You know all you have to do is ask and I will be right here," Tony said as if he wasn't complaining about coming a few seconds ago. "Steven you message seemed urgent, is this some pre-wedding jitters." 

"There can't be any jitters if I am not getting married." Tony frowned at Steve's words, the last he had heard was that he and Natasha were to be married soon, as she had just turned the legal age for a princess to marry. "Events have occured, as Natasha was heading out to her kingdom to celebrate her birthday she was attacked and kidnapped, along with my sister." 

"Steven, I don't understand your greatest men were there and ready how could hydra have attacked?" Tony was confused because as cunning as they were the one thing Hyrdra was no was smart. 

"My guess is that they have been following her, waiting for the right time. I know they don't want Wanda, she is a way of getting Natasha's attention. And if I had been there to stop them I could have saved them both and-" 

"Don't do that to yourself, Steven," Queen Pepper said. "I have known Natasha for a very long time, she is so strong, and you can not blame yourself for this, she wouldn't have wanted this for you." 

"People keep saying that but had I just been there for her none of this would have happened, we would have been okay, and I- I  I don't know maybe I could have saved her. Seems like all I do is bring her pain."  Before Steve could finish the doors to the castle opened up and out walked King Thor with Coulson, Sir James, Sir Samuel and Sir Clinton came in a hurry. 

"Steven," James said. "We just received this, one of the villagers saw in the town square, she ran it up to us as quickly as possible" Steve grabbed the paper that was in his hand quickly. It was a paper royals would often use as invitations, stamped with the Hydra logo, Steve eyes quickly scanned over the paper as the frown on his face grew ten times in size. 

"Steve, what is going on?" His father sternly asked taking the paper away from him so he could see the trouble that was occurring. 

"Alexei, leader of Hydra, is announcing his wedding," Steve said gritting his teeth, everyone around felt their hearts sink. "His announced his wedding toward Princess Natalia of Romanavia" The hatred in Steve's eyes were growing, anything could set him off. 

"He can't marry a princess unless her father, the king is present!" Sir Clint yelled, he was extremely protective over Natasha, that this was getting him really angry. 

"Yeah well I don't think Alexei cares about formalities," James said, he was trying to read his best friend as the wheels in his head started to turn. Everything was falling apart, and somehow Steve was still standing, still doing what he thinks is right, even if inside he his dying. But soon he is going to fall, he going to need someone to help him. James wasn't sure he was that person to help anymore. 

"Change of plans." Steve said sternly, "If Alexei wants to play like this we are bringing the party to him. The wedding is in four days, I want all my scouts out looking for any sign of him. I WANT HIM FOUND" His yells startled the people around him. Steve had never been someone to yell, but this was different, this man has taken everything from Steve his sister, and his fiance. It was not going to end well. 

"Steve we have no plan how-" Thor was interrupted by Steve, who was acting like the king he was destined to become. 

"I am not asking for permission, now either you all help me or you can get out of my way! I am not going to stand here and wait while my fiance and sister lives are on the line. We are saving them before this wedding, so if you aren't going to help I suggest you leave NOW!"
