Thread: In Search Of One Man [Defiant x Temptationist]

Bucky was planning on leaving the apartment behind even though she said she wasn't going to tell anyone. He didn't want to risk someone having followed her or a source she'd used to find him spilling the beans and leading another closer onto the right trail. When she said someone was there he frowned and was opening his mouth to speak when she mouthed the words 'trust me'. He didn't know what made him decide to trust her in that moment but he did and he kept his mouth shut. And he was glad since the knock sounded just moments later. He let her move him, figuring she had an idea on what was about to happen. As she leaned back against him his flesh hand went to her hip, just resting as a sort of anchor. He felt her hand against his bionic arm and took the hint. His eyes were glued to the door and his jaw clenched when he heard a man's name calling his. He saw the gun and the metal fingers curled into a fist but she was moving before he could decide which route to take and he stepped to the side, he was going to tell her to come on and they could take the fire escape but then the man was... shrinking. And turning blue. His brows furrowed as he stared at him. Then they were moving and the blue guy, who was standing and obviously female, now had a gun. Bucky glanced from the back of Penelope's head to Mystique's face then to the man who was walking in, he stared at the man. His get up was kind of ridiculous even by his standards. Whoever you people are, I'd advise you to both get out. While you can, he stated, his voice and face completely different than how he'd looked when it had only been he and Penelope. He took a step forward then he was thrown back. He grunted and began to step forward once more but his arm was pinned to the wall. His brows furrowed in confusion as he yanked on it once more but the bionic arm wouldn't move. I've heard a lot about this piece of machinery, but when it comes down to it. It's still only metal, Magneto spoke as he walked forward, elegant in how he carried himself. He dragged his fingers along the forearm of the Hydra tech. Bucky narrowed his eyes, glaring at the man. His gaze shifted to the blue woman. What do you want? He asked, but before either could answer, Mystique's gaze left Penelope's face and she met his eyes. He stared into her yellow eyes for a moment then his left foot shot out and he kicked Penelope at the top of her ass. The force propelled her forward and the angle of the kick pushed her down just a bit so if Mystique did fire the gun, she would hopefully go down just enough to not catch a bullet. But she did say bullets were useless against her. As soon as he'd kicked her his leg rebounded and he caught the man just under the knee. He dropped and when he was on his knee Bucky's leg lifted and he hooked his leg around his throat and pulled him back. He applied a pressure to his throat but the helmet combined with the angle kept him from applying enough to knock him out. Suddenly his arm was moving and pressing against his own throat. Bucky turned his head to the side, to take some of the pressure off and help keep the airflow going. Buck reached down with his flesh hand and yanked the man's helmet off and went to bring it down on the guy's skull but it hovered and his fingers slipped from the metal edged. Instead he brought his elbow down on the top of his skull and then another to put him out. The force controlling his arm let go and he could breath and with the arm no longer holding him up and the man between his legs unconscious they both dropped rather ungraciously to the ground.
