She was hyperventilating. Hard.

It had happened occasionally in the realm. But up there, there had always been angels on hand to lay a soothing hand on her arm and she would instantly be calm again, clear of doubts and ready to tackle whatever issue had happened to trigger her anxiety.

But here there were no other angels with healing powers. Here there were just humans repeating words they didn’t know would work in an attempt to soothe her as she paced around the room. Sodrov was behind the glass, a proud smirk still stretching across his face, and each time she paced towards him, Y/N had to squeeze her eyes shut, changing direction as her breathing spiked again.

Bucky watched helplessly, unsure of whether he could approach her or not. She was muttering under her breath, a blur of words he wasn’t entirely sure was English. He glanced at Steve and Natasha occasionally and they gave him the same look of despair he was sure he held.

Nobody but Y/N knew what was going.

Suddenly though, Y/N stopped and looked directly at Bucky, into his eyes. He held her gaze, watching her expression change from one of adoration, to misery. When she looked into his eyes, she knew what she had to do. What they would all do for each other. For her. There was no other option. It was when she let out a gasping sob, crouching on the floor, Bucky instinctively ran to her side.

Not thinking, he reached out and lay a hand on her arm to soothe her, except instead of transferring comfort to her, she transferred something else to him – the feeling of defeat, the feeling of loss and the feeling of agony.

Bucky gasped in reaction, squeezing his eyes shut as the feeling rushed to his brain and linked to memories. He stumbled back, snatching his arm away from her. Y/N calmed down instantly when she heard his pain, an impulsive need to make him okay overriding her panic attack.

Slowly approaching him, she focused her energy on soothing his anguish, fingers delicately tracing over his forearm until his eyes were no longer squeezed shut, just resting closed gently. Bucky let out a relieved sigh, eyes opening and settling on hers with concern.

“Are you okay?” He asked but she ignored him.

“I’m sorry.”

Bucky just shook his head, reaching out his metal hand to rest on her cheek. She leaned into it, relishing in the coolness against her hot skin.

“Y/N… we need… we need to know what he means,” Bucky whispered, focusing on the task at hand. All he wanted to do was drag her back to her room and tell her that everything was going to be okay. That nothing was going to hurt them anymore. That they were safe.

But he knew in his heart that that was far from the truth.

Y/N sighed, nodding slowly as she stepped away to face Clint, Fury, Natasha and Steve, Bucky standing a little behind her.

“Ophiataurus is a… fan of the realm let’s say,” Y/N started. She materialised a figure out of stardust in her hands, the golden formed face of the feared leader materialising in the tiny particles. “He rules a planet called Chaos, across the galaxy, but a couple of hundred years ago, he was travelling near earth.”

The dust changed to show the galaxy, a ship hovering over Earth, suddenly the skies parted and bright stardust filtered out of the gap, disappearing to show a figure falling.

“Lilith was a guardian angel, except she was reckless. She used her powers for evil. Pure evil with no reasoning. She played with lives and thought nothing of the consequences. It greatly disturbed the balance of humanity and so… she was banished from the realm. Ophiataurus picked her up and left back to Chaos where presumably, she told him everything.” Y/N sighed as the image zoomed in on Lilith’s face – beautiful and pure, except with eyes that betrayed her disposition.

“Ophiataurus tried to use Lilith to access the realm. We, as angels, are keys to this realm. Except when Lilith was banished, she lost her powers. Ophiataurus has stayed quiet for nearly two millennia… we stopped monitoring that side of the galaxy centuries ago, I… They… We didn’t know he and Lilith were still…” Y/N trailed off, the images she had conjured up disappearing into thin air.

“So now you’re here… with all your powers… and he has the ability to…” Steve filled in the blanks. Y/N nodded sadly.

“If he captures me, he will have full access to the realm of angels,” she confirmed.

“And what would he be able to do with that access?” Fury pushed, stepping forward in an attempt to intimidate the angel. Y/N stood her ground, standing tall and confident. She knew her role in this. She wasn’t going to allow him to devalue her.

“The realm is basically a control unit for humanity. If he was to gain access to that realm… well. He’d have control of humanity. He could use them for whatever he pleases… he creates an army, he could take over the universe.”

The room was silent as they processed what she was saying, fear spread across their faces for a moment before Steve stood forward.

“Y/N, we need to brief Tony. If Sodrov is right and they are on the way, then we don’t have much time.”

Y/N nodded and followed him out of the room, ignoring the glare that Fury was burning into her scalp. As soon as she was out of earshot, Bucky stepped closer to Fury, fists clenched in frustration.

“It isn’t her fault,” he growled but Fury refused to back down. He raised an eyebrow at Bucky, folding his arms.

“No? As far as I can tell, Earth was pretty secure until someone up there sent that thing down to protect you.”

“They didn’t have a choice,” Bucky stepped even closer.

“Everyone has a choice,” Fury snapped and Bucky sucked in an angry breath. He knew what he was referring to and he was practically shaking with rage now. He clenched and unclenched his fists, channelling his anger before storming out the room, slamming the door behind him.

“You know that isn’t true,” Natasha argued with Fury, shaking her head. “He didn’t have a choice in any of that and you know it. Y/N might be what this Ophiataurus guy wants, but it isn’t her fault he wants her. This is part of the job.”

“Maybe,” Fury shrugged. “But why did everyone up there take their eye off the ball.” Clint scoffed stepping towards the door with a shake of his head.

“Perhaps for the last two millennia, humanity has been problem enough for Earth.”

Tony was instantly anxious about the whole situation. Despite him controlling it well, Y/N could still tell. He paced as nervously as her, and his eyes darted around as if looking for the solution to this in the room. He eventually stilled, hands on his hips as he looked at the floor. With a sigh, he fell back onto a chair, running a hand over his face before gesturing around.

“This fight… it can’t happen on Earth.”

“Who said anything about a fight, Tony?” Steve argued but Tony and Y/N looked at him pointedly. Steve sighed. There was going to have to be a fight.

“We fought a big-headed alien once on this planet and that did not go as successfully as we wanted it to. We have to fight this out there,” he pointed to the sky, now hung with a star littered darkness. Y/N nodded in agreement but knew it was useless.

“Look… the only way to ensure defeat is… is for me to…”

“Y/N, no,” Steve instantly caught her meaning and shook his head furiously. “I’m not going to let that happen. We don’t trade in lives. And Bucky-“

“It will kill him, I know Steve. And I know you love him too. But I also have a duty to humanity. This is the only way.”

“But how?” Tony interjected, catching your drift immediately.

“I have to launch myself into a dying star.” Y/N said with a straight face and then laughed almost sadistically with the shake of her head.

“Ouch,” Tony muttered with a sigh. Steve winced.

“But, it’s no use.” Y/N hung her head and rested it in her hands, hair cascading around her like a waterfall, “As far as I know, you haven’t completely figured out the whole spaceship debacle here on Earth.”

Steve pursed his lips in thought and turned to Tony who was already reaching for what seemed to be a radio. He began punching in numbers, small beeps alerting Y/N to his actions. She looked up with a frown and Tony smiled sadly.

“No… but I know some people we can call.”
