Summary:
Angels walk among us. They serve the people, aiding those who need it, guiding their chosen, and using their magical abilities to make the world a better place. Rosalie Archer thought she had it all. Once her two best friends, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, returned from World War II, she would bind her life to theirs, and the three of them would live happily ever after. Only Bucky fell from a train, and Steve crashed into the ice, and Rosalie had to find a new path in life.

Now it’s 2014, and unbeknownst to Rosalie, her secret has been discovered. HYDRA wants to harness the power of angels, and with the help of a demon with a grudge, their experiments are close to complete. When Rosalie goes missing, her old friend, Peggy Carter, sends Steve and Bucky after her. In a reunion seventy years in the making, how will Steve and Bucky react to Rosalie’s abilities? How will the rest of the Avengers react to a new comrade with wings?

And how far will demons go in order to see all of the angels destroyed?

A Stucky/OC Angels AU.

Notes:
Written as part of ~tilltheendwilliwrite's 7.7k Covid Sucks Prompt Challenge. Congrats on all the followers, T - you deserve all that and more! I hope you like what I've come up with for this challenge. ♥

This fic assumes that 1. Bucky was rescued from HYDRA, 2. the Accords never happened, and 3. everyone is living happily ever after(ish) in the Avengers Compound. What's canon? I've never met them. Takes place post the first Avengers movie.

Warnings for Chapter 4: Blood

Steve backtracked, clearing out the rest of the crates to find where the marks ended. There, barely visible among the cracks in the concrete, was a square outline in the flooring.

“Trap door?” Steve asked, already knowing the answer.

Bucky balled his metal hand into a fist and punched the floor. The concrete splintered along those perfect square lines. Shaking off the impact, he wiggled his fingers beneath a chunk and lifted it up.

Inside, a ladder led into the dark below. “Trap door,” Bucky confirmed. “Think Dr. Sterling was onto something.” He glanced up at Steve. “Do you want to check it out?”
