Captain America just threw his shield in the air after noticing the explosive that attached to it. He was suddenly hit from behind and thrown. He turned to see Crossbones in his armor.

"There you are, you son of a bitch." The Hydra operative ground out. "I have been waiting for this." He walked forward and landed another hit launching Steve 10 ft through the air.

He tried to land an axe kick but Steve rolled out of the way and got up and blocked a punch before delivering one of his own to Crossbones helmet.

Crossbones through several punches which Steve blocked or dodged.

Crossbones finally landed an uppercut launching Steve into a wall which he recovered from before getting another hit to the head.

They got locked into a grapple trying to get the upper hand.

"This is for dropping a building on my face." Crossbones threatened. Suddenly blades came out of his gauntlet and he sent a punch to Steve's face which he dodged.

Steve was able to get the gauntlet away from Crossbones before another blade came out of the other one. Steve was once again able to block and landed a round house kick on him and sent Crossbones flying.

Crossbones took off his helmet as he knelt in the dirt and Steve approached the downed figure.

Steve grabbed his shoulder while being surprised at his scarred visage.

Crossbones chuckled. "I think I look pretty good all things considered."

"Who's your buyer?" Steve asked.

"You know, he knew you." Crossbones replied ignoring the question. "Your pal, Your buddy, Your Bucky."

"What did you say?" Steve asked angrily.

"He remembered you." Crossbones replied mockingly. "I was there, He got all weepy about it. Till they put his brain back in a blender. He wanted you to know something. He said to me 'Please tell Rodgers, when you gotta go, you gotta go.'" Crossbones chuckled "And your gonna go with.."

Suddenly a shot rang out and Crossbones head snapped back and he fell to the ground. Steve looked and saw blue veins stretching across his forehead and he turned to see a young woman lowering her gun.

"He had a bomb vest. Always check for bombs before questioning someone…. And I thought I was the rookie." She said under her breath not thinking about the super soldiers hearing.

She walked up and grabbed Crossbones. "You guys got the virus and we got him." She stated before dragging him away.

"Wait!" He said as he went to stop her.

Suddenly he hear a gun cock and saw an older Asian woman holding a gun on him.

"Calm down May." Natasha said as she walked up eyeing the only other woman in SHIELD that could keep up with her. "Let them go Steve. They are trustworthy."

The first agent nodded before dragging crossbones away.

May nodded and went to follow.

"I expect answers sometime soon." Natasha told her retreating friend.

"Sure. When you and Barton agree on what happened in Budapest." May said.

"Come on! You know he's too stubborn to admit he is wrong." Natasha whined.

"Pot." May snarked back as the two left.

"Who was that?" Steve asked.

"Allies." Natasha replied.

On a Quinjet a few minutes later

"The prisoner is secure. You can drop the act." May pointed out.

"Oh My God that was freaking Captain America! I can't believe I walked up and was all cool like that with him!" Daisy Fangirled.

May just rolled her eyes fondly at her protégé continuing to freak out.

"And then you pulled a gun on him like wopah!" Daisy said mimicking May.


AN: I am back. Sorry for the break. I have been house hunting recently and it takes up a lot of time. I hope you like the latest installment in this story and btw the wopah sound at the end is exactly like Chandler from friends trying to make a whip sound.

Thank you and leave a review for any questions or ideas.
