(Three days later)

'Enough waiting. Let us speak to him!' You storm up to Fury who was holding a meeting with the others.

'No' Fury says back bluntly and you scoff. 'This is ridiculous! He's mine and Steve's bestfriend'

'He's an assassin! Has been for seventy years, he's dangerous'

'He's locked in a cell!'

'I said no'

'All due respect, you may think that you lead the avengers but you sure as shit aren't the boss of me'

Fury raises his eyebrows at you. 'Watch your tone'

'I'll take my chances, let me see him'

'Me too. We go together' Steve announces as he enters the room. Wrapping an arm around you.

'You honestly think I'll just let you because you said so?' Fury mocks.

'We can do it the hard way if you want too. But if you remember correctly me and Steve were the ones who took him down. Not 'Earth's mightiest heroes' No offence', just honest' You look at the others and they all nod and grin.

'I agree with them' Tony speaks up and everyone looks shocked.

'Daisy went through a windscreen and still managed to take him down...' Bruce also says quietly.

Loki just smirks at you, admiring your confidence.

'Besides. I have an idea, on how to get him to communicate, or...'

'We think he's been brainwashed' Bruce confesses and you feel your heart chip away another piece.

Steve immediately grasps you a little tighter and you try to compose yourself.

'Let me talk to him, see what I can get out of him'

'Natasha Romanoff tried and failed. What makes you think you're any better than...'

'I don't think I'm better. But I KNOW Bucky. There's a difference. I don't plan on comparing myself. We're apples and oranges Fury'

Fury grits his teeth and reluctantly hands you the keys to the room.

'He stays in the cell. You stay on the outskirts of it, don't step a foot inside'

'I didn't plan on it. I'm not an idiot, hate to disappoint'

You whirl the keys around your finger and give the avengers all a grateful nod.

As you and Steve make your way to the room you take a deep breath.

'I never should have left him Steve...' You say sadly.

'Hey...' Steve pulls you into a hug and kisses your forehead. 'You had no choice Daisy. That's what you told me, remember?'

You nod and squeeze Steve a little tighter before fumbling with the key and unlocking the door.

Once you're both in you close the door Firmly behind you both.

The big domed cell in the centre of the room. Bucky sitting down on the chair. His long hair falling infront of his face as his head hangs.

'Bucky?' You say softly and he immediately snaps his head up to look at you.

'Why do you keep calling me that?!'

'It's your name...I mean, technically its James'

'James?' He says to himself in confusion.

'Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes' Steve now announces hopefully and Bucky groans out in frustration. 'I don't have a name!'

'Yes you do, you're our bestfriend'

'Stop' He grunts as he gets up. Pacing the room back and forth.

You look up to see Fury and the others watching you closely as you and Steve work on your tactic.

'You were on a mission with me and Steve when you were captured by hydra'

'Hail Hydra!' Bucky spits at the cell glass and you look at him carefully.

'They've brainwashed you, this isn't you'

'We know everything about you Bucky'

Bucky goes silent. He was listening. You knew he was.

You and Steve exchange a small glance and continue.

'I make blueberry muffins every Sunday morning without fail and you always come and eat some before work' You start off slow.

'I beat you at monopoly and you claim I cheat every time' You carry on.

You hear Bucky struggling as he stops pacing as comes forward to the glass. Looking at you and Steve. You see the flicker of light flash across his eyes. It was working.

'When my father died I came to live with you. I caught you having sex with some blonde woman'

'Wait what?' She frowns.

'You promised me you'd walk me down the aisle'

'I...I...' Bucky stammers and you wait patiently. He falls to his knees and let's out a painful shout.

'We have a saying!' Steve now shouts out. 'Til the end of the line...'

'H-help me' Bucky whispers before he collapses to the floor.

'Bucky!' You run to the cell but Fury sirens and you and Steve are shoved out of the room by guards.

'What the fuck Fury?! He asked for our help!'

'You can't just let him out because of that! What if it was a tactic?!'

'It wasn't!'

'How are you so sure?!'

You stand and think for a minute.

'It doesn't matter what I say, does it?! You won't believe me!'

'Daisy I...'

'Loki' You say carefully and Loki looks up at you. A menacing look in his eyes. 'I need your help'

'Whatever do you need pet, I am here to help your every need...'

'Watch it' Steve hisses but Loki just continues closer towards you.

'I need you to get into his mind' You explain.

'Y-you trust me?'

'I do'

Loki falls silent for a minute. 'I would need the witch to accompany me'

'Because calling me a witch is they way to get me to cooperate' Wanda tilts her head and looks at him angrily.

'Wanda. Please' You beg and you see her contemplating for a moment.

'If Loki is sincere. Then I will help'

Loki smirks and you you take Loki's hand. 'Please Loki'

'And what do I get in return?' Loki asks as he now pulls your arm so you're barely an inch apart.

You could feel the heat of anger rippling off Steve and his fists clench.

'What you've always wanted. Someone to trust you'

Loki let's go of you snd you smile at him. Bingo.

'Are you SURE you want my brother to do this?' Thor speaks up.

Loki immediately looks at you, more insecurely this time.

'I'm sure' You say without a shadow of a doubt.

'We will need time to prepare but, we could do it tomorrow?' Wanda questions and Loki agrees. 'Yes'

'Thankyou!' You shout out in relief. Wrapping your arms around Loki and pulling him into a hug. Loki stands there frozen for a minute before he hesistantly hugs you back. You could feel him trembling from the contact.

Once you let go of him you run over to Wanda and hug her too. She immediately accepts the hug.

'Thankyou both' Steve says sincerely but still sceptical.

'I haven't authorised this' Fury clears his throat and speaks up.

'I didn't ask for your permission, I don't need your damn authorisation. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help' You say to Loki and Wanda who both nods at you and you leave the room.

'She did not just speak to me like that!' Fury says outraged. 'Captain! Teach your woman some damn respect'

Steve squares up to Fury. 'Respect is earned Fury, and you haven't earned it'

Steve follows you out and Fury huffs. also leaving in frustration.

'That's me settled. I love her' Nat Chirps up and everyone laughs.
