A/N: I'm back and I guess I should warn you that this chapter will end on a "WTF" note...you'll see.

Read it. Enjoy it... and please Review it.

Recalculating. That's what Katie was doing as she held her motionless brother's body in her arms. She didn't include this in her calculations... she didn't expected the unexpected and now she was paying for it. He had a pulse and that little thump she felt in his wrist was her hope that there was still a chance to get out of this.

"There has to be a way out of here, right?" She asked out loud hoping that talking to Matthew somehow kept him with her. She looked around the dark room unable to make anything out. It made the fear and the worry grow, so much so that it began manifesting itself in her chest. A heat began growing over her chest that was hot, like really-

"Wait, that's not normal" Katie muttered when she heard three beeps and that's when she realized what she'd forgotten. Katie unzipped her jacket and pulled out the tablet Rick had given her. "My key to the city" she smiled slightly. "I'm so going to kiss you Rick Mason" she sat Matthew on the ground before swiping away on the tablet. She got into the SHIELD mainframe and brought up virtual map of the building. She tracked the tablet's internal beacon and found out where exactly she was. "Ok there we are and...yes" the lock to the door was computer operated, which meant it could be hacked. "Just hold on Mattie" Katie said standing to her feet and walking over to the door. "I'm going to get us out of here."

Clint ran down the hall as gun shots flew past him. He glanced over his shoulder to see that the men behind him were not letting up.

"This is Hawkeye, I'm pinned down, how much time do we have?" he asked into his comlink as he turned down a corner.

"Ten minutes" Maria Hill replied. "How far away from the launch zone are you?" Clint stood with his back pinned against the wall as he peeked down to where guards stood posted outside of Insight's launch area.

"I'm looking at the door" Clint whispered. "Is there any word on Mason or Sparrow"

"Neither one have checked in with their status" Hill replied. "Barton-"

"I know the mission" Clint says before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a miniature explosive and rolling it down the hall. He dipped behind the wall until he heard the explosion and after that he was running toward the door. Once inside there weren't as many guards as he expected and getting them out of his way wasn't too hard. The only issue he saw were the carriers beginning to ascend. "I think your time line may be a little off"

"Damn it, Pierce must have launched a head of time" Hill said. "Are you able to get onto the carrier?"

"Yeah" Clint says as he pick up his speed as he heads to the carrier. "If I jump really high I guess"

"Well fly on Hawkeye" Hill replied when she spots HYDRA agents shooting their way into the command post she was currently residing. She stood to her feet as she pulled out her gun and shot the first intruder. The second ran inside, but was shot instantly, only not with her gun. Maria looked slightly confused when another man appeared, this one she recognized. "Mason, what are you doing here?" she looked over the man who looked completely battered. "And where's Sparrow?" Rick didn't say anything as he climbed the stairs and headed straight for the computer. "Mason!"

"I will find her!" Rick snapped looking over to Maria.

"No, she was your mission and you failed. There is no time for some spur of the moment rescue mission" Maria replied. "Time's running out"

"Alpha Carrier locked" Clint's voice spoke through the comlink. "I'm about to head up to join the party with the Captain"

"Copy" Maria replies.

"Any word on Mason or Sparrow?" Clint asked again and this time Maria looked over to Rick who was typing away.

"Mason's here" Maria said and the agent looked over to her. "Sparrow is MIA" Clint didn't say anything and Maria wondered if they'd lost the connection. "Hawkeye do you copy?"

"Yeah, I copy" Clint spoke. "I'm finding her"

"Hawkeye, your mission was clear-"

"And I've completed it. Now the importance is preventing as many casualties and getting as many people out of here, which I plan on doing as I find her" Clint replied defiantly.

"Fine, check in when you've found her" Maria replied before looking over to Rick. "Clint's going after her, you've failed" she reached and pulled out her spare weapon and tossed it to Mason. "There are a lot of guns upstairs, go try and stop it" Mason caught the gun and turned back to the monitor. "Mason, there's still a big picture here and it's covered with the faces of the millions of dead people that carrier is going to kill if it gets into the air." Mason simply shook his head before hurrying out of the room.

Katie looked down to the tablet and typed a couple of more keys. She grumbled at how long it was taking her. She figured after all this time, codes and access points had been changed. It took a while, but soon the screen she needed appeared.

"Alright" Katie says before typing in one final code and suddenly the door pops open. She smiles wide before sliding the tablet back into her jacket. "Alright, Mattie, we're getting out of here" she turned and reached down and tried picking up her brother. It was at this moment she realized just how heavy he was. "Dude, what have you been eating?" she bent down and grabbed his arm bringing it around her neck before using all the strength she had with picking him up. All of his weight seemed to be pressed into her side, but she held up. She took a deep breath before practically dragging him out of the room. The sound of gun fire didn't go unnoticed as she walked down the hall. She kept her eyes up and watching hoping she wasn't walking into the middle of a fire fight. Right now her only concern was getting her brother out of this building and to a hospital.

"You know when I first met you I thought you were a very weird kid" she said as she struggled to hold his weight. More guns shots were fired and she had no idea where they were coming from. "And then I got to know you and I realized that you were a very weird kid, but that I'm weird too and having someone to be weird with didn't suck so much" she looked over her shoulder to her unconscious brother whose head simply hung on her shoulder. "So if you can hear me right now I'm going to need you to just hold on a little longer, because I need my weird little brother." There was an elevator at the end of he hall and she hoped that it could lead to their salvation. She tried adjusting her brother's weight as she moved as quickly as she could toward the elevator. Her feet only stopped when the elevator bell rang when she hadn't even touched it. The doors slide open and appeared an agent. HYDRA or SHIELD... she wasn't sure.

"No you listen, there is no way out. We have to evacuate now!" His eyes landed on her and the moment his hand went for his gun her question was answered.

"Worm down!" a voice called from behind them. Katie didn't take anytime to look, she wrapped her arms around her brother and dropped to the floor. She closed her eyes as she heard the bullets fly above them. Once they stopped she heard footsteps coming closer. "You alright?" she opened her eyes to see Rick looking down to her.

"Yeah" Katie says before looking over to her brother. "Help me with him?" Rick looked over to Matthew's unconscious body and seemed hesitant. "He's still alive, we just need to get him to a hospital" Mason nodded before grabbing one of the man's arm while Katie grabbed the other and brought him to his feet. They carried him toward the elevator and waited for the doors open. "So did we win yet?" Rick looked over to her.

"Two carriers down, but one is still active" Rick replied and Katie looked back with wide eyes. "I think the captain's trying to get the blade in, but it's not looking good" Katie closed her eyes and sighed.

"How much time do we have?" Katie asked.

"I don't know, last I heard it was down to three minutes" Rick replied watching Katie. She was planning something. "What's going on in that head of yours, worm?" the elevator doors slid open and Katie looked over to Mason. "Katie?"

"If he's too late and INSIGHT gets into motion he won't be able to stop it" Katie replied she slid from under Matthew's grasp, letting his weight fall to Mason who didn't seem too effected. "I have to be there in case things go south"

"C'mon, Pierce probably created a back up plan just to prevent that" Rick replied. "That's why your brother is here. He knew you would be and knew you could be a threat, he-"

"Needed me distracted meaning I'm probably still a threat" Katie says before placing a hand on the side of her brother's head. "Get him out of here and to a hospital" she placed a kiss on Matthew's forehead before looking to Mason and placing a kiss to his cheek.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"For giving my key" she looked over to Matthew. "You probably don't know this but you saved us" she smiled and looked to Rick once again. "Thanks" with that she turned and ran down the hall.

"You have no weapons!" he yelled after her. "And this place is filled with bad guys who do"

"Don't worry, I'll be ok!" Katie called not turning around.

"I'm telling Hawk you kissed me!" he said, but she didn't say anything. He looked over to Matthew and shook his head. "Your sister is insane" he stepped on the elevator with Matthew in tow. "But she is something"

Maria let out a sigh of relief when she spotted Katie carrying her brother on one of the screens. But that relief turned to confusion when she saw Mason appear and save the pair, before Katie handed over her brother and and run in the other direction. She would've asked Mason, but it would seem he too was without a comlink.

"We have these things for a reason" Maria muttered before accessing the elevator's intercom system. "Where's you com?" Mason looked up and spotted the camera in the corner of the ceiling.

"You know I don't like things in my ears Hill" Mason replied before a cocky smile. "Well I like some things in my ear, but I'll tell you about that later"

"Please do, it'll give me a reason to kick your ass" Maria said. "Now where the hell is Sparrow going?"

"Up to help the captain" Mason said. "She said that if he's unable to insert the server blade, she wants to be there to try and manually override it"

"The damn things already in the air" Maria replied. "How is she going to get to it?"

"I'm sure she'll find a way" Mason said before looking over to Matthew. "Right now I need a medic asap, you think you could set something up?"

"I'm sure there's something I can do" Maria said before taking out her mobile device and sending out a message for a medic to be waiting outside of the building.

Katie was once again running. It was the one things she knew she was good at. Though, her feet came to a halt when bullets flew right past her head. She dipped back, pressing her back firmly against the wall.

"I know that's you Sparrow!" a voice called but she didn't recognize the voice. "I thought you would've been dead by now"

"Well you can't always get what you want!" Katie called back when more bullet flew in her direction. She reached into her jacket and pulled out her tablet. She began pulling up the building

s sprinkler system and when she found the point she needed all she had to do was hit the green activate button and suddenly water was falling from the sky.

"What the-" Katie tossed the tablet to the floor before looking around the corner to see the agent looking up to the ceiling in a state of confusion and that's all she needed.

"Now or never" Katie thought before running from behind the wall. The man looked over just as she came close to him. In a last attempt to gain control he aimed his gun, but Katie threw her leg up kicking it out of his hand. He threw a punch toward her head but she ducked before slamming her elbow into his chest. He stumbled back but before he could gain his composure, she kicked him hard in the chest causing him to slam against the wall. She watched as his body simply slid to the floor. "Distractions are your worst enemy" she said the man's motionless body before turning to run, but the moment she lifted her head she saw another HYDRA agent standing just a couple of feet in front of her, the barrel of his gun aimed right for her head.

"Good advice" he said his hand gripping the gun. "Too bad-" the man's words seemed to be ripped from his mouth when an arrow shot right through his chest. She watched as the man's gun dropped from his hand before he collapsed to the floor. Katie's eyes lifted to see Clint standing, his bow in hand. They stood there for a moment looking at one another before Katie walked over to him.

"That was an awesome shot" Katie said still looking to Clint with slight awe. Clint shook his head before placing a hand on her waist and pulling her close to him. She placed her hands on his chest. "I would love to have this moment, but there's no time"

"What are you talking about?" Clint asked.

"There's still one carrier active" Katie replied.

"And the Captain's handling it" Clint said.

"And if he can't then there has to be a back up plan" she replied stepping out of Clint's grasp. "I'm the back up plan" she grabbed his hand. "C'mon, I might need your bow"

"God, I wish you were being suggestive right now" Clint groaned as he let her pull him toward the stairwell that lead to the room. It only took a couple of flights before they were bursting through the doors of the roof to see the carrier hovering in the air. "How are you going to get up there?" he looked over Katie who glanced down to his bow.

"You brought Beatrice" Katie said looking down to Clint's bow.

"How did you-"

"Know you name you bow and arrows like a weirdo?" Katie asked. "Because you're not the only one good at spying on people." she placed a hand on the bow. "I know this arrow can get me from here to there"

"Yeah and I know that you just had a melt down climbing the side of this building,and now you're talking about repelling from an even greater distance to a carrier that's moving. Clint said with a firm shake of his head. "But the best part is that in the slight chance that you're successful you have a limited amount of time before Hill sets them to self destruct" Katie shook her head. "The answer is no" she grabbed the bow from his hand and pulled but he held on tight. "Kat, what are you-" he pulled even more, only for her to place her hand on top of his. The touch of her fingers on his skin made totally fall out of the moment and Katie used his distraction to pull the bow from his hands. "That was not playing fair" he reached for the bow but she jumped back out of reach.

"Bart, right now adrenaline is coursing through my veins, there's no fear anywhere" she said. "There's just a carrier over there about to murder a bunch people soon if we don't stop it in time." she leaned forward pressed a kiss to his cheek. "I know what I'm doing, trust me"

"How can I when you say that even when you don't know what you're doing?" Clint asked and Katie smiled before looking down to the bow. "The code is-" she had already typed in a few numbers activating the bow's zip line function. "I hate when you do that"

"No you don't, you love when I break your codes" she said giving him a wink before running to the edge of the roof. She rose the bow, aiming it toward the hellicarrier. The rise and fall of her chest slowed as she closed one eye. She mentally counted to three before shooting the arrow and hitting the side of the carrier. She wrapped the rope around her arm tight before stepping onto the ledge of the room.

"Don't fall!" Clint called and she glared over her shoulder to him. "Come back"

"You couldn't keep me away" Katie replied before turning and jumping off the edge of the building. Clint ran to the edge to see Katie swing toward the carrier before hitting the side with a bang.

"Hawkeye" Maria spoke through the comlink.

"Yeah, I found Sparrow" Clint replied already knowing what she was going to ask. "She's going to assist the Captain. Give him a heads up"

"I would but he's busy at the moment" Maria replied. "He's having a little reunion with an old friend" Clint stood there confused for a moment before realizing what she was saying. He peered over the side of the building to see Katie climbing up the rope into the carrier.

The moment Katie climbed inside of the carrier, she looked up to the massive space. The place was huge, but she could see the blade station up above her. She jumps and grabs the walkway above her. She keeps at until she reaches the very last one and pulls herself up and runs toward the station.

"Drop it!" Katie hears a voice yell. She turns to see Steve and Bucky in an intense battle, both seeming equally matched. She spots the blade in Bucky's hand and her first instinct is to get Steve's attention so he can try to toss it to her. She decides against that idea since distracting Steve right now probably wasn't the best idea. Steve gets Bucky into head lock until the man passes out and that's when she decides to make her presence known.

"Steve!" Katie yells as the man stands to his feet. "Hurry!" Steve nods before jumping on the side of the bridge and pulling himself up. She runs over to him as he tries to place the blade into the station. The moment his hand moves a shot is fired. They both turn to see Bucky now on his feet a gun in his hands. He fires another shot, this on hitting Steve.

"Steve!" Katie yells trying to catch the man who collapses to the floor. Her attempt to catch him is useless and they both fall to the floor. It's then that Katie see the blood seeping from his gut. "No!" She looks over her shoulder to see Bucky making his way toward them. "Shit!" she looks down to Steve's hand to find it empty. He dropped it. She looked around trying to find the blade, but it was nowhere in sight. "Shit, fuck, shit" she quickly stood to her feet to see the rest of the blades aligned and in that moment luck had to be on her side. She realized that the chip's pattern looked familiar. "Wait, I know this" she reached up and to anyone watching her would see her begin plucking seamlessly random blades from the station. But there was a reason to her madness. It was their placement that made them work and removing just a few blades could throw the entire thing off course. But you had to recognize that the blades that shared many similarities had differences and that only specific blades could be removed for this to work. She's only removed about eight, before the entire thing turned itself off.

"Katie" Steve moaned in pain as he made his way to his feet.

"Steve, it's done, let Hill know it' done" Katie said looking over to Steve.

"Charlie locked!" Steve said into him comlink. Katie watched as he listened to Maria before turning back to her. "You have to get out of here!" Steve grabbed her arm and pulled her with him.

"Steve, what are you doing?" Katie asked trying to pull out of the man's grasp, but even for a wounded soldier he was strong. "We need to get out of here together!" Steve eyes looked down to see Bucky pinned under fallen rubble.

"He doesn't die here alone" Steve said and Katie looked over to see Bucky as well. "I owe him more than that"

"Steve-"

"We're not that far, you can jump it" Steve said pulling her, but she pulled back.

"I probably could, but I would spend the rest of my life at this moment. Seeing you risk your life when it isn't necessary. There is another way." Steve turned his head as he listened to Maria who told him that he needed to get out of there before she activated the destruct mode on the carriers.

"Katie, you're getting out of here!" Steve said pulling her, but she slipped out of his grasp.

"No, I'm not. You're not leaving without your friend, and I'm not leaving without mine, so lets get a move on" Katie turned and jumped over the bridge to the windows below them. She hears Steve behind her and she looks over to him, this time he doesn't try to stop her.

"This place is about to be destroyed and-"

"It's not over yet" Katie interrupts. "I've survived being plopped into the middle of another realm, I can handle a little gunfire" as if on cue gun fire erupts throwing Katie off of her feet. She lands just a couple of feet from Bucky whose still pinned under debris. She looks up to him and for a brief moment, while surrounded by chaos they look to one another. Katie feels something on her forehead and then it's on her eyes. It isn't until she looks down to the glass she's lying on to see blood dripping and it's coming from her. She casts one final glance over to Bucky who she swears looks as if he's trying to free himself from the rubble. She never gets a chance to see if her suspicions were right because after his face came the darkness trying to overtake her.

It all seemed like a dream. That sounds very cliche, but it did. It was as if Katie was there, but wasn't there at the same time. It doesn't make sense, but nothing about the events of that day did. She was rolling around the carrier, Bucky and Steve were there and they seemed to be talking, but then fighting..were they fighting? Consciousness was hard to hold onto,but it wasn't the only thing. Soon she felt like she was flying. She could feel the wind on her skin and she could honestly say she wasn't afraid and so she finally just gave into the darkness.

Thirty six hours later...

Was there country music in heaven? It seemed like a strange question, but when the wailing sound of some poor soul singing about how some guy name Billy broke her heart at Walgreens, it seemed like a logical question. Katie's next question was why did her head feel like it had been sat on by an elephant. She knew none of her questions would be answered until she opened her eyes and so she did and saw the last person she thought she would see.

"Bucky?" Katie asked and he glanced over to her. She took her eyes off of him to see that they were driving in what looked like an old pick up truck. Outside she saw nothing but trees and that only made her worry more. She turned back to Bucky who seemed to be trying to split his attention between her and the road. "Are you kidnapping me?" he simply sighed before turning back to the road. "Well is that a yes?"

A/N: I know, I know... WTF! Don't worry we'll answer a lot of questions you probably have after reading this chapter, like why and where is Bucky taking Katie?...You probably have your theories, but I can promise you, you're probably wrong. You'll see next chapter.

Ps. Uhh 72 follows and 42 favs, but only 1 review for the last chapter...I know many of you are the silent type and I can understand that and I can even accept that, but you all have these great thoughts, ideas and theories that I just love hearing. That being said I still wuv you guys for sticking with me, silent or vocal and I can't wait to get started on the next chapter which will let me brush off my creative skills since I have no more movies to leech off of until next year. (CAN'T WAIT FOR AOU!) But I think I can carry this story for a while before we come to a hiatus. ( I know evil word, but at least it's not "Final Chapter"

...Well that's all for my little rant, thanks for reading!
