Miami, Florida
Prologue Part 1…
The laboratories in Miami, were not the most secure facility, but they were next to the series of canals. There was only one way in and one way out, unless someone got creative. The sun was high and the humidity was high, the civilians walking on the sidewalk, were drenched in sweat and it was only ten in the morning. The facility had a light level of security, seven guards around the building, only one entrance with two guards at the main gate. There were cameras on every corner of the building, each one able to see the entire parameter. The main doors could only be opened with employee or security authorization. Inside, the laboratories housed three underground levels, the real work was being done below, with its main study was in rare metals. The job was easy, break in, take something, and then deliver it to the client.
Three longs streets over was a large van, in the back was three people, they were looking at all the screens that were hanging around the entire compartment. A fourth was standing, he was looking at the main screen. He had his arms crossed and he studied the screens and he saw his men moving in. He watched the live feed, he leaned forward and rested his hand against one of the chairs "Move in" he ordered.
"Copy" a voice said through a speaker. The man glanced at the screen with the live feed and he watched as the small group of men moved forward. He took a slow breath, he looked at the driver "We move in, in five"
The driver gave him a nod and put the keys into the ignition, waiting for the go. Rumlow had done this type of job hundreds of times. He watched the live feed closely "Jam their comms and knock out their cameras" he ordered.
One of the three men sitting pressed a button and it cut the feed of every camera in twenty-five blocks. Rumlow nodded "Go" he said. He watched the feed and his men took out the guards, one after the other. He smirked, he looked at the driver "Get moving"
The driver turned the keys and the van came to life, Rumlow felt the vehicle jerk forward as the gas petal was pushed on. Rumlow looked at his watch, they didn't have a lot of time before the cameras would come back on and then the noise would draw the authorities. He moved toward the back of the van, he stood in the small area that had his equipment. "Be there in four" the driver called back to him. Rumlow put his hands into two long Exo contraptions. They were a gift from the Spider.
He felt the metal hands hug his own, he just needed to press the buttons on the side of the index fingers for them to activate. He grabbed his rifle and he held it close, he stared down the barrel and cocked it back.
The van went over a bump and took a sharp turn, the wheels squealed and the rubber burned against the hot road and left its prints. The van went through the entrance and braked, the van slid sideways and the back compartment swung forward as the face of the van went toward the entrance, which was now the exit. Rumlow felt the van come to a quick halted stop and he kicked the door open. He walked out and he saw a guard on the roof and he aimed and shot him. The guard fell off the roof and smacked into the ground, his legs taking the brunt of the fall and breaking. Rumlow was met by his men, one was reloading his weapon. "Main entrance" Rumlow ordered.
They followed him as he walked toward the main doors, which had sealed shut. Rumlow sighed "Another blast" he ordered
He felt his comms fill with static, but since they were protected, they weren't cut off. The metal plating that had planted itself firmly in front of the doors, preventing them from entering, whine and lurch open. Rumlow fired a gas grenade out of the launcher that was attached to his under rail of his rifle. The grenade burst through the glass and hit the floor, it spun and skidded across the newly waxed floors. The large entrance filled with tear gas. Rumlow and his men put of gas masks and entered the facility. Rumlow took a moment and stopped, he looked around "Kill them all" he ordered.
Rumlow walked over to the main desk and he saw three people on the floor and they were coughing. He aimed his rifle and squeezed the trigger. He continued walking as he left the small amount of room behind the counter become full of blood. "Move toward the elevator" he ordered
He came to the large elevator doors, he looked at one of his men "The code"
The man walked over and he was holding a hand, just the hand. The lock had a code and a fingerprint scanner. The man pressed the correct code with the hand's fingers and the little light on the pad went green and the elevator doors opened. The man tossed the hand aside and they all entered the elevator. Rumlow kept his mind on target "Remember, we are hear for one reason only, a rare metal, the client wants it, so we deliver"
His men listened and they waited for the door to open, each had their rifle low, but aimed forward. The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. They saw over ten security guards and they opened fired upon them. The security guards quickly feel and blood splattered onto the walls and floors. Rumlow walked forward, his boots clinking against the bullet casings. They came to a large lab and Rumlow fired through the glass and he walked through the opening.
He was faced by two scientists, he aimed at them "Load it up" Rumlow ordered
They were horrified as Rumlow's rifle came at them. "What do you want?" one asked
Rumlow sighed "The metal"
The man frowned "What metal"
Rumlow shot the man five times in the chest and blood splattered onto the countless desks and consoles. Rumlow looked at the other man, who was considerably younger than the other "The metal" he said again
The young man nodded, he was sweating and he walked over to a large metal casing and he pressed numerous keys and it unlocked. He opened it the rest of the way and Rumlow walked forward. The young man put up his hands and stepped aside. Rumlow looked at the contents of the large metal casing, he saw a large amount of a silver like metal. He smiled and grabbed the large chunk of metal, it was surprisingly light. He turned and one of his men had a large briefcase and he placed it within it. The man closed it and locked it. Rumlow turned toward the young scientist. He nodded and shot the man to death.
Rumlow walked out of the lab and he followed his men toward the elevator. "That was too easy" one said excitedly
Rumlow sighed "The security just isn't the same"
Rumlow was soon outside and they were all getting into the van. Rumlow climbed into the van last and he looked back at the facility. He nodded and he pulled the doors closed and the van sped off and left the facility with smoke coming from it and dead bodies lying around, no living witnesses.
Rumlow saw one of his men look at the large chunk of metal. "Where is this thing from?"
Rumlow sighed "Not sure, but we're getting paid for it"
His men smiled and one gave a loud and exited whoop.
Rumlow did know what it was, but his men didn't need to know. He just had to deliver it to the Spider. He had an interesting relationship with the man, they never officially met, but he had finished numerous assignments for the man, all from the phone and wire transfers. Rumlow was being paid a hefty sum for the large chunk of metal, but he knew what it was and how rare it was. The thought about what his client wanted to do with that metal was a mystery to him, and frankly, he didn't care.
Later that day there was a news story about the attack at a facility that studied metals. Not once was the media told what metal they were studying, but it was enough for the media to run with. Rumlow was on a plane to Frankfurt, Germany at the exact moment that it was aired. He had the chunk of metal in hand and was ready to be rid of it for his money. The flight was nice, private, his preferred way to fly, ever since his face had been scarred from a building falling on it.
The plane was soon making its decent into Frankfurt's airport, Rumlow walked off the plane and he was met by a large black car. There was a man standing there, his hands were together and in front of him. Rumlow saw that his brown hair was slightly greasy and he had a scar that ran down his face, not to mention the spider tattoo on his neck. "You one of the Spider's men?"
"No, I am the Spider" Niko said
Rumlow raised his eyebrows "Oh, here you go, the object that you wanted" he said handing the large brief case toward him. He was surprised by how he looked, he was expecting a businessman.
Niko took it "The money is being wired to your account and the pilot is instructed to take you anywhere you want to go"
Rumlow nodded "I would ask why you wanted that metal, but then the answer would just get me in trouble"
"Yes it would" Niko said simply.
Niko watched as Rumlow walked back onto the plane, and it began to go back down the runway and lift off the ground. Niko turned and the door of the car opened, Yelena climbed out and walked toward him, she sighed "So you used him to" she said
Niko nodded "Yes, Crossbones is a good middle man, just don't trust him with anything too big"
Yelena sighed "So did you get your metal?" she asked
Niko nodded "Yes" he said glancing at the brief case in his hand, they both walked back to the car. They climbed into it and Niko spoke to the driver to take them to the nicest hotel in Frankfurt. Yelena was sitting calmly and she watched Niko closely. Niko opened the brief case and he saw the large chunk of metal. Yelena frowned "How is that going to help us?" she asked
Niko looked at her "When Sean Richardson attacked Captain America and the other Avengers, his shield was destroyed. When we find him, this will be my gift to him"
"A large chunk of metal?" she asked with a frown.
Niko looked at her "No, this metal is called Vibranium, it comes from a country in Africa, Wakanda. Captain America's shield is made out of this material"
Yelena nodded "So give the man who dresses like the Captain the final piece to his outfit"
"Yes" Niko said
Yelena sighed "Now we just have to find him"
Niko closed the brief case and he locked it "We'll find him, then, the plan begins"
Yelena and Niko both looked at each other as the car drove out of the airport.
New York City
It had been four months since he had faced Anti-Cap and New York finally accepted him. He was now the most liked hero by the general population in the city. Peter was standing on a building, he was perched on the edge of the roof and he was looking down at the line of cars, mostly yellow. He was just taking in the sights, and enjoying a very easy day. He's had plenty of hard ones, but once in a while, he would get a good one. Peter had taken Tony's advice and told his Aunt that he was Spider-Man. Like Peter thought she did not take it well at first.
After a couple of days, she warmed up to it, but those couple of days were dreadful, she was always worried about him, and she often could guess where he was, she saw him a lot on the news. Peter had been used to being alone in New York and every cop wanted to arrest him, but now most of them liked him. He had started a relationship that was a bit rocky at first, but now there was mutual respect and trust. Funny enough the cop he had talked to the night before he fought Anti-Cap was Jean DeWolff. A rising star in the NYPD. He wasn't on good enough terms just to stroll into the precinct, but at least when a cop saw him, they didn't point a gun his way.
Peter had to make some choices during those four months of the new fame, and one of those may have cost him a friendship, defiantly a relationship, but maybe a small friendship remained. Felicia Hardy, she was the one girl that could get away from him. She was always robbing a place, he was constantly trying to stop her. Months before they had started a relationship, of the sexual nature, he was right about how it would crash and burn, it did. Peter was now out of school for the summer and single, giving him all the time in the world to be Spider-Man. Peter had barley spoken to any of the other Avengers since that night, other than Tony. He still used his lab to improve his own tech.
Peter wasn't alone though, during the day he would spend it alone, but at night he was in a good old partnership with the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Peter would help him out on occasion, recently the infamous case of Frank Castle shook the city. Matt Murdock was now by himself and apparently freelancing, or at least that's what Peter called it. He was actually supposed to meet him later in the evening, as Peter Parker though. So Peter took the remaining of the day and watched out for the next crook, robber, bully, or a high speed chase. Funny right, New York City, so many taxis how would there be a high speed chase? Well believe him, there were plenty.
Peter being the one for lack of time following decided to look at his watch, he pulled back the fabric of his suit at the wrist and he looked at the time. His eyes widened slightly, he was supposed to meet Matt Murdock ten minutes ago. Peter lowered his head in defeat, he was always late when he was on Peter Parker time.
He jumped off the roof and fired a web to the far right, the web slacked then jolted straight and Peter held on as it pulled him to the right, a sharp right to make the change in street. He was in a hurry, his timing was impeccably bad.
He was soon rushing out of a building and he was in his normal clothes, his suit was underneath. The time it would spent to take it off was too long. He rushed onto the street and he pushed his glasses up on his face and jogged toward the court house. He made it to find Matt Murdock standing there with both his hands on his white cane and he looked over at him. Peter stopped a couple of feet before he reached him and walked toward him. Matt smiled "Heart rate is up a little"
"Sorry I'm late" Peter said
Matt cocked his head slightly, his glasses blocked out his eyes and it looked like he was staring past him, but Peter knew Matt knew where he was. "No apology, I get it."
Peter saw him walk away and he followed. "So what's up?"
Matt shifted slightly "Well since the past events"
"Yeah, well this would be the first time that Peter Parker has ever met Matt Murdock"
"Right" Matt stood still and held out his hand "Matt Murdock"
Peter took his hand and shook it "Peter Parker"
Matt chuckled slightly "Have you been keeping an eye on our feline friend?"
"Felicia, uh…my ties with her are cut at the moment"
"Broke up huh"
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Well" Matt said and smirked slightly "My firm is done and I am currently looking for a new form of work for myself, and I may have just secured it"
"What is it?" Peter asked
Matt shifted slightly "I have decided on working on taking down criminals as a lawyer instead of defending people"
Peter listened closely "So this new work venture, what does it consist mainly?"
"Oh the usual, I help someone who gets out of jail for catching a criminal"
Peter frowned "What?"
"I have partnered with a new arrival to New York, not the best partnership, but all I have to do is help"
"And what does this person do that gets them arrested?"
"They're a bounty hunter"
Peter heard the words "Like Boba Fett?"
Matt chuckled "Not exactly, they just help track down people and bring them in"
Peter nodded "Okay, so have you met this bounty hunter?"
"I have a meeting later today, a diner"
Peter chuckled "So a date?" he said teasingly
"No, work"
"Well not most people that work in criminal justice have official business in diners late at night"
"Bounty hunter" Matt said simply
Peter didn't have anything to combat that remark "Okay, so what does Matt Murdock want Peter Parker to do?"
They both stopped and Matt faced him "I want to get you a job"
Peter chuckled "A job?" he rubbed his head "Spider-Man is a full time gig" he said softly
"It may be, but you need your secret identity to have an alibi if you're near trouble"
"Okay" Peter said, not really grasping at the idea. Matt sighed "You're good with a camera right?"
Peter frowned "Yeah why?"
"Have you ever thought about being a photographer for the crime investigation team?"
Peter chuckled "Me in a crime scene, I don't think so"
"Then what could Peter Parker do that wouldn't warrant any suspicion that he might be Spider-Man?"
"I'm in school" Peter said with a frown.
"You only have what, two more years?"
"Yeah"
"Well Peter Parker needs to join society instead of hanging out in his room"
Peter took a breath "I'll look into it"
"Good, well if you need any help, call me"
Peter watched as he walked away, he took a deep breath and sighed. A job?
Washington
A ceiling of fog hugged the tops of the dense trees, rain was dripping through the trees, the leaves a vibrant green. The trees surrounded a single brown dirt road, the small amount of room only let vehicles stay in single file. The road had impressions of the constant traffic that traveled down it. The trees were close to the road, some branches were swung out over it and hung low from the weight of the water that they had accumulated.
Three large armored trucks rolled down the road toward the large base down past the large rock face. The rocks were a dark grey and sprinkled with browns and other colors of numerous rock that were mixed together. At the bottom of the rock face near the base was a large pool of water. Up above a small waterfall threw water over the edge and down into the dark pool.
At the top of the rock face, was a small area that had a broken tree that hung over the edge slightly. Large bushes hugged the downed tree, in the smallest of clear areas was the tip of the barrel of a rifle. The man holding the rifle was positioned well, he had entire view of the whole base. He was covered with dirt and rain ran down his clothes, he had spent three days in this forest, studying the base and its patrols. He stared down the scope and watched two guards that were on a smoke break, to their right was a large mound of sand bags and concrete where a large machine gun was planted. Up above that was two more guards that were watching the forest vigilantly, but not good enough. The man was too high for them to think that someone would be there, the rock face was one of the strong points to the base, but the man sitting comfortably above saw it as a weakness. He was breathing softly, it was a cold morning. He shifted slightly and he blinked then a voice filled his ear from his comm. "What's it look like?" a female voice asked.
"They're not expecting to be attacked today" he responded
"We are to the northeast"
The man shifted his eyes to the tree line that was to the far left of the base, they would come out to the main courtyard. He moved the rifle and the scope scanned over the area. The courtyard had over six armored cars and four machine guns planted in areas that he couldn't do anything to take them out from where he was. "I suggest coming in from the south" he said, the south was where he was, the road let out that way, and in.
"It'll take time"
"We have time, let's not get ourselves killed"
"Copy, we'll be in position in sixty"
"Copy that" he said and he took a breath "Be careful" he added.
There was silence, but he knew she got it. He pulled his face away from the scope and he sat up slightly. He left the rifle propped against the tree trunk with a bipod. He decided to eat something. He went into his pack and he found his last granola bar, he opened it and took a bite. He didn't want to take his eyes off the base for too long, but he had at least thirty minutes to himself.
He leaned back against the large stump that the tree had fallen from. He had slept there for two days. He had made himself a lovely little nest, even had a tarp up so he wouldn't have water hitting him constantly. He couldn't stop all the water though, he was still in damp clothes, he couldn't wait to be back home and in dry clothes. He finished his granola bar and he put the wrapper back into his pack. He moved back over to the rifle and looked down the scope. He watched the guards closely, there should be a patrol leaving the base soon, he saw the moment of happiness as two armored trucks moved out with a group of guards on foot. They would be problem when they had to leave, but he wasn't worried. He had left a little present for them on the road a day earlier, he just needed to press a button.
Thirty minutes went by rather quickly, the comms came back on. "We are almost there" the female voice said again
"I have my eye on the base, a patrol is just leaving we have four hours till they return"
"Well, good thing you did extensive recon of the whole area"
"You're making me blush" he said with a smile
"I know how to make you blush" she said back to him
He smirked and pieced his lips together "You gonna show me later?" he asked
"You bet I will"
Another voice interjected into the comms, it was another man "You guys know we're both still hear right?"
"Sorry you can't handle an adult conversation Allen"
"Oh I can handle it, but do you want me to film it?"
"Just shut up and keep your eyes peeled"
The man laughed slightly "Just wondering"
"We're getting closer" another female voice said
"How's the leg Carter?" Allen asked
"It's fine Allen"
"Just making sure"
"You like to make sure don't you?"
Allen laughed "yes I do"
"Well Allen, just don't get yourself killed"
"You know what Barnes, you are such a joy"
Bucky chuckled a she stared down the scope "Don't you forget it"
"Okay, cut the chatter"
"Maria, when we get home, lunch?"
"If you be quiet yes"
Bucky laughed softly as he watched the two guards who were smoking walked back into the base.
"Sorry, but Mrs. Barnes" Allen asked in a teasing voice
"What?" Hill asked
"Can you guys please stop talking about your plans, you're making me feel like I have no life"
"That's because you don't" Sharon jested
"I have a life, just not beyond work" Allen added
"Just shut up Allen, were coming up on the road" Hill said
"Copy" Allen said, not a hint of joking in his voice.
"Okay, Bucky keep us updated so we get in there unnoticed" Hill said
"Don't worry, I'll get you in"
Bucky looked to the right and far below he saw them below. The patrol was going right by them, he took a breath and stared down the scope. He zoomed out so he could see more activity. He saw that almost every guard was moving "I'll tell you when to move" he said
Bucky watched as the closest guards turned away and they were clear "Go" he said and he looked to the top of the base for any of the other snipers, but they were also busy. He looked at a screen to his right, it showed thermal imaging of the area, specifically Hill and everyone else they were constantly flickering though. He saw them stop, "Okay, waiting for your go" Hill said
Bucky studied the guards again and he noticed the ones they just passed were still oblivious. He saw an opening, but it was a tight one "Move, quickly"
Bucky kept an eye on the other guards that could get a shot off before they could. He saw that they still hadn't noticed them. He watched them stop on the thermal imaging. "Waiting" Hill said again.
Bucky looked, but he couldn't see an opening, "Hill, get ready to move as soon as the guy above you hits the deck"
"Hit's the deck?"
"Yeah" Bucky said aiming at the man's head. Bucky inhaled, he lightly squeezed the trigger and a bullet bolted out of the barrel and buzzed through the air and hit the man in the head and sent blood and brain matter onto the ground as he hit the deck. "Move" he said as soon as he fired. He watched Hill and the others run and they got into the base. "We're in"
"Close one" Allen added
Bucky exhaled and he looked at his communicator, which also showed the time, he studied it for a moment "You have fifteen minutes before the shifts change, hurry and get out"
"Copy" Hill said
Bucky hated this part, he couldn't do anything till they got back outside, and he kept his eyes on the others in case they saw the dead body. Over ten minutes went by, no one had noticed. Hill gave him five minute updates, the last one said they were almost out. Bucky saw another guard that was on the level above the dead one and he noticed him. Bucky saw him reach for his radio, Bucky aimed and fired. The bullet hit the man in the hand and went through the radio and out his shoulder. Bucky quickly squeezed off another one and it hit the man in the throat. He watched him hit the deck and blood flowed everywhere.
Bucky exhaled in relief as he just saved them from being noticed. He waited for a couple more minutes when suddenly he heard an alarm sound and flashing yellow lights went up everywhere around the base. Bucky widened his eyes "Hill" he said over the comms. There was no response. Bucky saw the guards below going ape shit. Bucky swallowed "Maria?" he asked again.
He heard gunfire enter the comms "We're going to plan B"
Bucky sighed "You almost out?"
"We're at the entrance"
Bucky quickly looked through the scope and started to shoot at the random guards running around. It wasn't long till one noticed, and pointed up at him. Bucky knew he only had a few seconds. Bucky shot three more guards and he saw a snipe and quickly shit him in the chest. Bucky looked and he saw a man with a rocket launcher. Bucky forced a breath and let go of the rifle and got to his feet. The man below fired the launcher and the rocket flew up toward the top of the rock face. Bucky ran and the rocket hit where he was and the tree exploded into shards of wood and all of his equipment that he had set up flew off the edge.
Bucky dove and rolled down a small hill in the dirt. He landed on his feet and took off running. He could still hear the alarms blaring, eh ran through the forest. He jumped down from a small over hang and landed in the shrubs below. He got to his feet and ran toward the single road that led out of the base. He saw the patrol was on its way back. Bucky quickly dove to the ground and slid under a fallen tree and a couple of bushes hugged the trunk to hide him. Bucky saw them getting close to his present, he pulled out a trigger and pressed it. Two large caliber rifles fired down at the patrol. The men on the ground got hit and blood went everywhere, the armored trucks though, the turrets on them quickly took out the present. Bucky cursed, they were auto-targeting cannons.
Bucky watched them continue on and he got to his feet and ran across the road and the dead bodies. He quickly entered the other tree line and he had another hill to run down. Bucky's feet planted themselves firmly and pushed off with just as firm power. He zipped past trees and he came to a large clearing. Bucky saw his Quinjet, he smiled and he quickly ran up the ramp and got to the cock pit. He hopped into the pilot seat and strapped himself in. He got the Quinjet to come to life, he spoke into the comms "Maria?"
"We're surrounded outside the base, they're coming in all directions"
"Armored trucks!" Allen yelled over the gunfire
Bucky grabbed the controls and he got the Quinjet to rise into the air. Bucky hit the throttle and he flew toward the base. "Extraction incoming, just be ready to get on"
They didn't respond, but Bucky knew they heard him. They were too busy to respond. Bucky saw the clearing and the base was below, he needed to get down there, but also be careful of those auto-targeting cannons, they would tear the Quinjet apart. Bucky put the nose of the Quinjet down and he flew down into the basin. He saw the armored trucks and he knew those cannons were targeting him. He pressed a button and rockets fired out of the Quinjet and hit the trucks and areas around them. Bucky pulled the controls back and the Quinjet stopped and hovered next to Hill and the others. Bucky hit the manual release and the ramp descended. Bucky pressed the trigger on the controls and the large caliber gun under the nose spun and fired. Dirt flew up into the air as the bullets smacked into the ground and hit numerous guards.
Bucky heard Hill and Allen climb onto the ramp. Bucky didn't glance back, he focused on the guards in front of him. Bucky heard Hill yelling, he glanced back and Sharon was climbing onto the ramp and Bucky saw her get shot at as bullets hit the ramp around her. Allen walked forward and fired at the shooters. Bucky saw Allen dove down to the floor as bullets hit the ceiling. Bucky quickly unbuckled his straps and he looked straight on and he saw one of the remaining armored truck's cannon aimed at him. He quickly jerked the controls and dodged the barrage of fire. Bucky felt himself leave the seat and he tried to stay where he was and he pulled the controls back and he fell back. The Quinjet moved up and flew straight up. Hill grabbed onto the co-pilot seat and Allen wrapped his arm in the straps on the side of the hull. Bucky flipped and hit the floor and rolled down toward the ramp. He heard Hill scream and Allen tried to grab him, but missed. Bucky rolled and he saw Sharon struggling to hold on with one hand. The Quinjet was gaining speed and as it flew out of the basin and above the forest. Sharon was gritting her teeth and holding on with all the strength she had, but the growing speed was pulling her down. Bucky came out of a roll and he saw Sharon's hand slip from the ramp and she fell back. Bucky grabbed the ramp with his metal hand and he grabbed Sharon's arm and he came to a halted stop. Bucky yelled in pain as he felt his shoulder that was metal pull against his own skin. Sharon was breathing heavily, as she quickly grabbed Bucky's arm.
Bucky clenched his jaw and looked back up the Quinjet "LEVEL IT OUT!"
Bucky groaned a she felt his shoulder aching, if it was just his own weight he would be fine, but himself and Sharon was too much. Bucky saw Hill climb into the pilot seat and grab the controls and level out the Quinjet. Bucky felt himself move slightly and Allen appear and Bucky lifted Sharon up and Allen grabbed her. Bucky groaned through the strain on his arm. Allen pulled Sharon into the Quinjet and Bucky moved his hand and grabbed the ramp, he pulled himself up and he laid down on the ramp. He was breathing heavily and adrenaline was pumping through his limbs. He steadied his breathing and Allen offered his hand. Bucky took it and Allen helped him to his feet.
Bucky gave him a nod and he saw Sharon trying to calm herself. Not every day you almost go free falling. Bucky gave her a nod as he walked toward Hill, she was looking back at him, her face telling him everything. Bucky decided to keep it off the job and they would talk about it later. "Did you get it?" he asked
Allen walked forward "Yeah, Fury will be happy"
Bucky sighed and took a seat in the co-pilot seat "Well at least we won't get a lecture" he said
They all looked at each other laughed softly. Allen took a seat next to Sharon and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Sharon was wiping happy tears from her eyes. Bucky looked at Hill and he took the risk of the teasing and he leaned over and gave her a long kiss. They came apart and Hill and Bucky smiled at each other. They were headed home.
