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 8: Violence, animal death, minor character death

“Do you know another way out, Rose?” Steve asked. He’d never been able to lift her before. Now he held onto her as if she didn’t weigh a thing. “We didn’t walk in the front door.”

She shook her head. “I was attacked in a warehouse,” she said. “And I woke up in that hellhole of a cell.”

“We can backtrack,” Bucky said. He leaned his head around the corner, looking down the next hallway. “But they’ll be expecting it.”

“There has to be another way.” Steve nodded to Bucky. “We clear?”

Bucky held up one hand. Then he flicked his fingers towards the opposite direction. “Not willing to risk it.” He met Steve’s eyes. “They’re coming for us.”
