"And this woman," Bucky murmured, pointing to a picture. "Who is she?"

"I don't know," replied Steve. "I caught sight of her the last time I went down but we didn't find anything. Why, do you recognize her?"

"No, just curious," he responded. However, a look of worry passed through his face and then confusion, as if he didn't understand why he should feel such a thing.

"Well, then I guess that concludes everything," Steve said, looking towards Fury.

Fury sighed and then muttered, "Suit up then. Barnes, pick out whatever toys you want."

As Bucky went to look through his choice of weapons and the others got ready, Fury went towards Tony and said, "I'd get comfortable if I were you. It's going to take several hours at least and I do not want you messing up this base. Understood?"

"Got it mom."

Fury just glared and walked away. Several minutes later they left, leaving Coulson and Tony alone.

Sitting in a swivel chair, Tony swung around until he was facing Coulson. "So, last time I checked in you were dead. Clearly you got better."

"Yes, I suppose you could say that," responded Coulson with a smile.

Tony waited but Coulson simply returned to his work. "Oh come on? That's all I get? Seriously, tell me what you've been up too. Fury hasn't been working you to hard right? What about the team of yours? Must be pretty special. What—"

"I apologize if I'm not chatty but if you haven't noticed, I'm trying to make sure your team mates don't get killed," Coulson responded.

"Fine! Kill joy."

It was surprising that the next minute was in silence but after that Tony was talking again. Even though Coulson wasn't really paying attention, Tony kept his mouth running since there wasn't much else to do. He was about to start discussing another fight he'd had with a congressman when Coulson asked, "What's that?"

"Huh? Oh this," Tony said, stopping his monologue. He pulled out the device that Bucky had given him from his pocket. He'd forgotten about it after everything that had happened. "Yeah, not really sure what it is. We found it on the Hydra agents."

Coulson held out his hands and Tony willingly gave it over. Looking over it, a small frown appeared on his face and Coulson found a small corner of the device and pressed it. The item opened up and a hologram suddenly appeared.

Tony's blood turned cold.

Capture the Winter Soldier no matter the costs. He is the primary objective. Any other people do not matter. You will split into teams and come in through all sides on the house. On arrival you should…

The recorded message droned on and when it had ended, the hologram disappeared and then the device closed up again. Tony turned to Coulson and the look of shock and fear was mimicked in each other's eyes.

"He's dead though," Tony said slowly. "Red Skull is dead so what the hell is he doing in that damn message!"

"Yelling is not going to do anything so you might as well keep your voice down," responded Coulson despite the fact that this had shaken him just as much.

"We need to tell Steve."

"Not now! They're in the middle of a mission. Telling them could ruin it, especially if Barnes hears."

"So we just sit on this, watch them beat up some Hydra agents, and wait? Is that it?"

Coulson sighed. "I know it's not what you want to hear but it's our best choice of action." He turned back to the screen. "Besides, they've just now entered."

Leaning back in his chair with his feet propped up, he watched as Coulson began messing up the video cameras in the Hydra base. The small seed of fear in his gut remained however as Tony wondered what this would spell for the team and the world.

The fact that most of the men and women were simple scientists made it much easier to take control of floor one. However, there were still guards which led to several interesting fights. After every hostile was either down or tied up, Steve put his shield back in its place.

Floor one was above ground but the other two were below ground, meaning if any one new came for backup they'd have to go through Steve and Bucky first.

"I'm going to do another sweep of this floor," said Steve. "Stay here and make sure no one gets to that elevator."

Bucky gave a small nod, watching Steve leave before he began scanning the room again. At first everything was silent but then even his heightened senses didn't detect the person behind him before it was nearly too late.

Just barely he moved out of the way so that instead of a knock-out blow he got clipped on the ear. Regaining his footing and spinning around, Bucky came face to face with his attacker.

It was the woman that Steve had photographed but which they hadn't found anything about. She had bright red hair in a bob cut along with pail freckled skin. Her clothes were tight and revealing with hulking great combat boots. Two guns were at her side, several knives, and a metal baseball bat in her hand. Bucky was able to see the clearly outlined muscle on her form, reminding him of Natasha if it weren't for the maniacal grin.

"Hey Bucky boy," she said with a smirk. "Long time no see!"

She swung the bat again but this time Bucky was able to anticipate it and moved out of the way. The next time she swung it he got it with his metal hand and jerked the thing out of her hands. He drew his gun and fired but she dodged it, doing a backwards flip like a gymnast.

"What? Don't you remember me?" she asked as she grabbed a knife and threw it.

Bucky used his metal arm to block the attack and fired again.

"No words for your little pal Sin?"

"What kind of name is Sin?"

"So he does talk!" she cried with a laugh, moving in close and pulling out another knife.

Sin stabbed and Bucky dodged, their movements lightning fast. However, Bucky quickly noticed that, though strong, she was not as experienced as Bucky had suspected. And she talked to damn much.

"Still nothing else? I remember hearing your screams. They resonated across the walls. Do you—ack!"

She screamed as Bucky tripped her up. He brought his metal hand down but she rolled out from under it just as Coulson finally took notice of their fight.

Due to the more pressing matter of Nat, Clint, and Fury taking out all of floor two and three before they could gather any Intel, Coulson had focused all resources on them. Now he quickly contacted Steve saying, "Barnes needs help now by the elevator. It's the woman that you photographed. The red haired one."

"On my way," Steve said, halting and then turning back the way he'd come.

By the time he got there, Bucky had just grabbed Sin in a headlock when she shouted out, "Sputnik!"

Bucky dropped to the grown like a doll whose strings had been cut.

"Bucky!" Steve yelled as he threw his shield forward, catching the woman in the mid section.

Despite being winded, she managed to get up and pull out one of her guns, shooting at Steve who expertly dodged them. He grabbed Bucky, pulling him around the corner. As he took out his own gun, he checked Bucky's pulse but it was normal and the man was still breathing.

However, his eyes were opened and glazed over like he couldn't see anything and no amount of shouting would change that. Looking to make sure no one else was coming, Steve left Bucky to move around the corner but the woman was already gone.

"She left down the hallway on your right," Coulson said into the coms.

Steve quickly moved forward. "Warn me if Bucky gets up or someone else finds him."

"Got it Cap."

Steve then sent a message across all communication saying, "Bucky is down. Currently in pursuit of attacker."

He then ignored anymore words in his ear as he caught up with the woman, propelling himself forward to knock her down. They struggled only momentarily before Cap gave her one hard punch to the face. "What did you do to Bucky?"

Groaning, she growled out, "Nothing that won't wear off."

"Tell me what you did!"

"Well I did this one guy in a bar. Pretty handsome with—"

She was cut off as she was punched again.

"If you won't tell me what you did, then who sent you? I want a name. Something specific!"

"Daddy dearest did."

"And his name?"

"Really? You don't know? Daddy will be—"

But Steve punched her again, this time knocking her out. He tied her up and said into the coms, "I knocked her out but I don't know for how long. How's Bucky?"

"Still hasn't moved," Coulson responded just as Fury cut in, "We've got a problem."

"More hostiles?" asked Steve.

"No," Fury replied. "A fourth floor."

AN: Just wanted to say that Sin is another character from the comics and I'll probably bring in one more later on. Thanks for all the reviews!
