~1943 England, Military Base~
"Steve, you can't just barge in on Chester." Jinx told her husband; Steve was walking so quickly that it was hard to keep up with him. Jinx was feeling guilty in a way for not knowing that Bucky was one of the soldiers in the 107 divisions.
"Oh yeah? Watch me." Steve said as he walked into the tent Colonel Phillips was in, before Jinx could say a word Steve spoke again. "Colonel Phillips?"
"Well, if it isn't the star spangled man with a plan." Chester Phillips said as he looked up to see Steve standing in front of him. Chester then gave Jinx and Peggy a look before looking back at Steve once more. "And what is your plan today?"
"I need the casualty list for Rosano." Steve told the Colonel with any hesitation.
"You don't get to give me orders, son."
"I just need one name; Sergeant James Barnes from the hundred and seventh." Steve told the Colonel, his voice held such urgency. It was then that Chester knew that some information was given to him, he darted his eyes to Peggy and Jinx.
"Ladies, we are gonna have a conversation later that you two won't enjoy." Chester said pointing towards Jinx and Peggy. Jinx wanted to say something to him so badly but Steve gave her a look that told her that she should calm down and so she did.
"Please tell me if he's alive, sir. B-A-R…"
"I can spell." Colonel Phillips said quickly as he cut Steve off from saying anything else. Jinx inched forward a bit as she got annoyed with Chester's attitude, but Steve was the one who was quick enough to pull her back moments before she could do anything. Jinx looked at her husband in a way that told him to let her go but he also gave her a look that told her to calm down and not worry about it. Jinx didn't want to just be quiet and allow Chester to treat her husband the way he did, she thought it was unfair and unnecessary for the Colonel to carry some type of resentment towards Steve. Chester was still looking at the papers he pulled out and seem to have found nothing. "I have signed more of these condolence letters today than I would care to count. But the name does sound familiar. I'm sorry."
"What about the others? Are you planning a rescue mission?" Jinx asked speaking for the first time being in the tent.
"Yeah! It's called winning the war."
"But if you know where they are, why not at least…?" Steve asked in disbelief.
"They're thirty miles behind the lines; through the most heavily fortified territory in Europe. We'd lose more men than we'd save. But I don't expect you to understand that, because you're a chorus girl." Chester said to Steve. Jinx really didn't like his tone so once again she tried to walk towards him but Steve caught her by the wrist, holding her back.
"I think I understand just fine."
"Well then understand it somewhere else. If I read the posters correctly, you got some place to be in thirty minutes." As Phillips walked away Steve looked at the military map, which showed where the men were.
"Yes, sir. I do." Steve said mostly to himself with determination.
"We both have somewhere to be." Jinx told Steve after she caught on to what Steve was really talking about. Steve looked down at his wife and smiled for a moment, then they both walked out the tent with Peggy Carter walking after them.
"What do you two plan to do? Walk to Austria?" Peggy asked the couple that walked side by side.
"If that's what it takes." Jinx told her.
"You heard the Colonel, your friend is most likely dead."
"You don't know that." Steve said not really accepting the possibility of Bucky being dead.
"Even so, he's devising a strategy to take…"
"By the time he's done that, it could be too late!" Steve practically yelled at the Agent with chocolate hair and red lips. Jinx said nothing; she didn't want to make Steve frustrated at her by telling him to calm down. It was an odd feeling to have to worry about Steve getting upset because never really had to worry about it before today.
"Jinx, you told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?" Steve asked his wife as he turned to her.
"You know I meant every word." Jinx said as she stared into Steve's blue eyes.
"Then explain to Peggy why we have to go do this."
"Peggy…you have to let us go." Jinx told her friend that she's gotten very close to over the many months they've spent together. Peggy stood there for a moment and then nodded her head.
"I can do more than that." Peggy said with a determined smile.
"What do you mean?" Jinx asked her.
"Just meet me and Stark here in thirty minutes." Peggy said just before running off. Jinx and Steve watched Peggy run off.
"She's a bit strange, don't you think?" Jinx joked as she turned around to see her husband look in the distance, he was obviously in deep thought. Jinx stared at Steve; she took in his appearance and thought to herself. "You're going to need headwear."
"And where am I suppose to get this fine headwear?" Steve asked his wife; Jinx shrugged but then she saw one of the dancer girls with their helmet on and smiled.
"I have an idea, come on."
As told once before, the couple met Stark and Peggy at the area she told them to go. Jinx stole one of the dancer girls' helmets because she felt that it would go very well with Steve's captain outfit.
"You know, you two are gonna be in a lot of trouble at the lab." Steve said referring to Stark and Peggy helping them find Barnes and the other missing soldiers.
"And you two won't?" Peggy sassily countered back at Steve. Jinx smirked at Steve's face when Peggy spoke to him the way that she did.
"Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just shoot 'em."
"And they will undoubtedly shoot back." Jinx said with a small smile, she wasn't too thrilled about Steve going out on battleground but she knew that this was going to happen sooner or later. As long as they are fighting together, Jinx will have faith that everything will be fine.
"Well, let's hope it's good for somethin'." Steve told his wife, Jinx smiled at him and for a moment they all sat in comfortable silence.
"Agent Rogers, if we're not in too much of a hurry after you're done finding your friend. I thought we could stop off in Lucerne for a late night fondue; since we haven't had it in a while." Howard said with a grin. Jinx shook her head and looked awkwardly at Steve.
"Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen. He's mad enough to brave this airspace; we're lucky to have him." Jinx told Steve, as she got ready to strap her holster to her waist.
"So are you two…? Do you…? Fondue?" Steve asked, Jinx looked up to see a hurt expression on Steve's face. Jinx was confused as to why he looked hurt.
"Well, yeah, I mean…we use to all the time before I got busy with caring for the injured soldiers."
"Even though you're married, Jinx?" Steve asked after grabbing her arm to get her to look at him.
"Well, yeah. What's the problem in that? He's my friend."
"But I'm your husband." Jinx scoffed at Steve's words, she felt that Steve was trying to tell who and who not she could be a friend with.
"So, I can't have friends now?" Jinx asked as she jerked her arm away from his grasp, she couldn't believe the way Steve was acting towards her. "I'm not your object, Steve." Before Steve could reply, the plane was under attack; Jinx and Steve quickly got themselves together and prepared to jump.
"Get back here! We're taking you two all the way in." Peggy shouted at the super couple that was ready to go and find their soldiers.
"As soon as I'm free, turn this thing around and get the hell outta here!" Steve told the British young lady. Despite the fact that he's upset at Jinx for his own reason, he grabbed her by the waist so she was close to him.
"You can't give me orders!" Peggy shouted at the super soldier.
"The hell I can't! I'm a captain!" Jinx and Steve looked at Peggy and then jumped out of the plane. As soon as they were gone, Stark did what he was told and flew away from their current location.

I'm so sorry about my late update for this story! I've been going through a lot lately and had to put my writing life on hold. I do wish to write more chapters if possible. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. What did you think about it? I kind of wanted Steve to suspect Jinx cheating, which she isn't, but I wanted him to have that angry towards her and Stark so by the time Steve gets caught kissing another woman…they can really argue. But, uh, yeah…that's my plan. So, until next time… J
Wait! If you like the show "Supernatural" I do have a fan fiction where it's my own spin to the show. I haven't updated in a bit, but I do plan to update soon so…yeah! Thank you for reading.
Comments are always welcome. J
