Tony's POV

I woke up to find myself sitting on a metal chair, with my hands cuffed behind it and my legs tied against the front legs of the chair.

I couldn't remember how I ended up here, but I could only assume that I have been kidnapped.

The last thing I remember was my argument with Y/N. Now guiltiness is spreading within me, taking over my emotions. Bucky must have felt this way, but even worse.

I must have gotten kidnapped when I was walking back to the tower.

But by who? What would they want with me?

"Tony Stark, you are finally awake." I heard a voice echo through the room.

"Who are you?" I asked immediately.

Then I feel hesitation.

"I am Laserface, an honourable agent of HYDRA."

I can't stop myself. I laugh so hard until my stomach hurt.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your name is, it's Laserface?"

Laserface huffed, "That's right."

I have to tell Rocket about this. I remember him telling me about a guy named Taserface, and Rocket was in the same situation as me! Well, nearly.

I laughed again.

"You're so dead." Laserface sneered.

And here comes my laughter.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry, I just keep imagining you waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and in all seriousness to yourself saying"- I then imitated his voice -"'You know what would be a really kick-ass name? Laserface!'"- I went back to my voice -"That's how I hear you in my head!"

My captor then punched me in the jaw.

I moaned in slight pain. He surely could punch.

"Man, take it easy! And tell me: why am I here? What do you need me for? So that I can build a suit for you? Man, someone tried that before, but he failed miserably." I told him as a matter of fact.

"You think it's all about you, don't you Stark? That's what's wrong with you," Laserface replied. "You are captured to indirectly lure someone here. One of our precious soldiers, to be more specific, and I'll tell you no more!"

My eyes widened. HYDRA is going after Bucky, I don't have to be smart to know that.

How am I supposed to warn him?

Maybe Y/N is smart enough to not let Bucky go with her.

The last thing I saw was a Laserface holding a gadget. A taser? Shouldn't he use a Laser?

All of a sudden, I felt extreme pain throughout my body.

Then I blacked out.

* * *

Bucky's POV

HYDRA had kidnapped Tony. I know it. And I bet Y/N knows it too.

I can also bet that they kidnapped Tony to get me back on their side, which would never happen.

"We need to find a way to rescue my brother." Y/N said with a hint of anxiety.

"How are we supposed to know where Tony is being held?" Steve asked.

Right on cue, my phone buzzed.

I took it out of my pocket and switched my phone on to see a message from an unknown number.

The message read:

On the day you regret the most.

At the time when he was taken.

In the place where you were trained.

I shuddered.

"On the day you regret the most"... This one is a bit tough. I regret a lot of things, but I regret killing Tony's parents the most, which happened on December 16, 1991.

"At the time when he was taken" could be talking about the time when Tony got kidnapped.

"In the place where you were trained" should be talking about HYDRA's Siberia base. No doubt.

There are a few people who know these facts: Me, Steve, Tony, Y/N, and last of all, Laserface. It's still funny thinking of that name.

However, I have all of their contacts, except Laserface. The name still sounds funny.

"Steve," I started after reading the message. "What day was December 16, 1991, on?"

"Let me check." Y/N volunteered. Y/N took her phone out and checked out Google, maybe I should've done that.

"It's on a Monday, why'd you ask?" Y/N inquired.

I ignored her question.

"Steve, at exactly what time did you find out Tony's missing?" I asked.

"Around 8:15 pm," Steve answered.

"Tony's in the Siberia Base. HYDRA wants me to be there this Monday at around 8 pm." I declared.

"No," Y/N said. "They'll take you away."

My phone buzzed again. Another message.

If you do not come, he'll suffer more than you did.

I shuddered once again and showed Y/N and Steve the message and their eyes widened.

"Y/N, I have to." I reluctantly said. Inside of me, I was frustrated. Stupid HYDRA ruining everything.

"No, there must be some other way." Y/N pleaded.

She clutched my right hand.

"There is," Steve said.

We turned to Steve.

"Here's the plan..."

* * *

Your POV

I was unsure about the plan that Steve had developed, it was a risk that Bucky had to take.

We drove to the Avengers Facility Upstate instead of the tower to suit up.

You see, I don't go on missions with them, but I do have the experience to fight, I take martial arts classes, and I'm getting my black belt soon.

So all I had to do was change into something easy to fight in, like-

"Natasha's catsuit!" I exclaimed.

I immediately put the suit on me, luckily it fit perfectly.

"Y/N, since Monday's four days away, we can use three days to train you and teach you how to use a gun," Steve announced with Bucky next to him.

"Cool!" I exclaimed. "But I'm keeping this on for the next four days."

So for the next three days, I practice my fights with Steve and learn how to use the gun with Bucky.

Thank god I was a really fast learner because, in no time, I could hit the direct centre of the target with the gun.

"Nice one Y/N!" Bucky shouted, even if he was standing right next to me.

I shot the target at its centre again.

Wow, I thought, who knew that I was really good with guns?

"Guys, it's about time we hop on that Quinjet to Siberia," Steve called.

* * *

Monday, 8 pm.
Siberia, Russia.
HYDRA Base.

Bucky's POV

While Steve and Y/N snuck into the base, I knocked on the front door.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure you want me!" I yelled after knocking a couple of times with no one answering.

Then finally, the door opened.

It was one of Laserface's goons.

He did a gesture with his hand and three other goons came up from behind him and grabbed me harshly.

"Bring him to Captain." Goon Number 1 ordered. I would bet he didn't want to say Laserface.

Goon Number 2, 3 and 4 pushed me in the base. They took a different route than the last one me and Steve (plus Tony) took to Zemo, and it the route led to a small room.

In the room, I saw L- their Captain.

"Hey! Captain! Look who turned up!" One of the agent's goons called, leading three other goons who were holding me as I was pretending, and I mean pretending, to struggle from their grip.

"Soldier." The agent said as he spread his arms wide, like a 'warm' welcome. "You've finally come back home."

"I don't remember living here, Laserface. Maybe it's because of the fact that my memories frequently get wiped out by a guy named Laserface, so my brain wants to willingly forget about it." I mocked.

I could hear Y/N holding back her laughter. I could swear I heard Steve do the exact same as well.

I spotted Steve and Y/N, who were hiding in the shadows in the room were Tony was kept. Laserface was dumb enough to not triple security. Thinking that I would turn myself in that easily was the worst and last mistake he'll ever make.

Laserface punched me in the gut hard because of the tease. Y/N winced, but I didn't show any signs of pain. It didn't hurt at all. He surely couldn't punch.

"Lead the soldier there," Laserface commanded. The goons began to force me towards who knows where.

"Tut tut tut!" I cut off. "Before you do that, let the billionaire go." I then gestured at an unconscious Tony.

Laserface then smirked.

"Unfortunately, I had not stated anything about letting Stark go in the message, so-"

A second after hearing this, I elbowed one of the agents in surprise with my metal arm, causing the agent to pass out. Then, I ended his life by shooting him directly in the heart with my gun.

Less than a second after that, Y/N and Steve jumped into action.

Y/N held her gun out, aimed it at Laserface and pulled the trigger. The bullet landed in his gut. His body went limp on the ground and I assumed he was dead.

What a useless agent of HYDRA. I thought. Who in their right mind would want to hire a useless agent, much less named Laserface?

It didn't take long for Steve and me to take out the rest of the agents while Y/N untied Tony.

All of a sudden, Tony woke.

"Y/N, you're here..." Tony managed.

"Of course I am!" Y/N said as she got her brother to stand up.

"I told you this would work, Y/N! Let's get out of here!" Steve announced.

Then it all happened in slow motion.

Laserface miraculously happened to be alive. He weakly took his gun out and shot the bullet towards Tony's spine (or back).

Crap, I thought. Tony would get paralysed if he gets hit.

When Laserface shot the bullet, Y/N and Tony braced themselves. I immediately jumped in the way of the bullet without a second thought. As soon as the bullet hit me, all I felt was the pain.

I knelt on the ground and gritted my teeth to keep myself from screaming in pain and going unconscious. A groan of pain managed to escape my lips. Unfortunately, the black spots that formed in my eyes got the best of me, and I went unconscious.

Second Person POV

You opened your eyes. Much to your relief, Tony wasn't hit.

Then you hear a groan, then the realisation hit you like a truck.

"Bucky, no!" You shrieked as you saw Bucky going unconscious. Out of vengeance, you immediately shot Laserface until all your bullets ran out, ensuring his death.

Bucky lay on the ground. You realised that when Laserface shot, he immediately jumped in the way of the bullet, eventually letting it hit his stomach.

"We need to take him to a hospital ASAP, Tony, you can walk right?" Steve asked quickly.

"Yes, I can, Capsicle. Let's go."
Tony confirmed, looking at Bucky with guilt and regret.

Steve and Tony carried Bucky to the Quinjet and put him on an emergency stretcher.

"Shit!" Steve cursed halfway through the flight.

"Language!" Tony immediately said while piloting the Quinjet.

"Can't this metal piece of crap go any faster?! Bucky's bleeding to death!" Steve yelled, ignoring Tony. "Why couldn't we just go to a Siberian Hospital?!"

Tony's eyes widened in realisation. He should've done that. "Ummm, it's too late to turn back now... It's a miracle your friend's surviving, be thankful for that."

You just sat next to the stretcher, staring at Bucky while Steve tried his best to treat the wound. You but your lip, you feared this would happen.

"Bucky, don't leave me. Please." You whispered to him.

* * *

Bucky ended up (still) unconscious in the hospital, but at least he wasn't dead. His wound was treated and the doctor reported that you only needed to wait for him to wake up.

You, Steve and Tony, sat next to Bucky in the hospital. Steve and Tony sat to his right and you sat to his left, holding the cooling surface of his metal hand. All three of you put on your worried faces, even if Bucky was confirmed to be alive.

"He was hit badly in the Stomach. However, by some miracle, your friend is confirmed to survive. He just needs some rest and he'll wake up good as new." The doctor said from before.

"Doctor, can I ask you something? What would happen if the bullet hit your spine?" You asked.

"You would be paralysed." The Doctor replied grimly. [I'm not sure if this would happen, but don't blame me if I'm wrong, I'm no doctor.]

Tony would've been paralysed if it weren't for Bucky.

"Look, Y/N, I'm really sorry about Thursday... the thing with Bucky... I was just... being an idiot. I'm so sorry." Tony apologised.

"I'm not the one that needs an apology and a 'thank you'." You replied. "But I forgive you."

"Punk, wake up!" Steve shouted a little too loudly, tears forming in his eyes. Call him dramatic.

"Steve, the doctor said he needs some rest, calm down." You told him.

"H-Hey, I'm... the jerk... You're the punk..."

Your eyes widened.

"Woah, Bucky, careful." You warned as Bucky tried to sit up. "It's not everyday when you take a bullet for someone that hates you."

Steve chuckled at what Bucky said. Tony looked down in remorse.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"This isn't the worst wound I received. I've been through worse." He replied weakly.

"Bucky..."

You all turned to Tony.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be at your place instead, in an even worse state. And I'm sorry, Bucky. I should've forgiven you a long time ago." Tony apologised.

"Not everyone's perfect, they all make mistakes... like me, and I'm sorry about your parents," Bucky answered.

Tony just nodded, not knowing what to say.

"May I ask, exactly what are you all talking about?" Steve asked, extremely curious.

"Well..." Tony started.

"That's a story for another time." Bucky finished.

<><><><><><><><>

I feel this sucks. Maybe because it really does suck.

Anyways, I hope that you are the type that enjoys horrible imagines and stories.

<><><><><><><><>

Here's some sort of 'Post-Credit Scene', hope you like it! (Still think it sucks, though.)

<><><><><><><><>

You and Bucky returned to your apartment while Tony and Steve when back to the Tower, or the Facility if they changed their minds.

Your TV was still paused at the exact same image, Human Torch's face.

"Y/N, I think I know who resembles that guy," Bucky said as he pointed at Human Torch.

"Really? Who?" You asked.

"Steve."

There was a long pause.

Then you came to your conclusion:

"Nah."

E N D

Yaaaaaayyyyyy, it sucks!
