"The girls are in the Chambers"
A grin formed on Red Skulls face as he turned back from the monitors
"Good, Good, I would like to talk to them"
"Don't you wanna wait for James to come for them ? Lure him into a trap"
"Why would I do that ? Just for you to lose in a fight"
Red Skull saw as he clenched his fist only earning a scoff from the red head man
"Lower your first Son of Rogers, If it wasn't for your Numbers he would've beat you 10 times over. Even with the handed men The Perfect Child took out a decent number of them"
"Funny you call him a perfect Child when He's currently laid out in some Hotel Room"
"He will be back. He's Captain America after all. And Just like his Father he can't resist a good fight"
.
.
.
.
.
.

Immediately James was woken up with a slap to the face making him shoot up
"AH !"
The redhead got into a fighting stance but it didn't last long as he was soon shot back down as he felt 2 bodys hugging him
"JAMES !" Pym and Torunn exclaimed as James shook his head and confusingly hugged them back
"Guys ?"
"YEAH ! IT'S US ! YOU DON'T REMEMBER ! YOUR TRACKER ! IT TURNED ON AND WE WERE ABLE TO FIND YOU !" Pym squealed as he hugged James tighter
"James what happened ? Why were you unconscious ?"
"And what's with all the gas residue on the ground ?"
Right there and then James remembered what happened as he jumped to his feet and immediately began to look around the room frantically
"James ? what are you looking for"
"STACY ! AND AND…AUNT YELENA ! WHERE ARE THEY !"
"Who ?"
"THE TWO BLONDES ! WHAT….WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM !"
Raising his hands up softly Francis tried to calm him down
"Woah listen, we didn't see anyone else. When we got here the door was busted down and you were here unconscious on the ground while your nose was bleeding
James brought a hand up to his nose and sure enough he felt blood which he quickly wiped away as his eyebrows furrowed
Making his way to one of the bags James started to bring out more of the equipment while the others shared looks at one another
"James ? you gonna tell us what happened here ?"
"My Brother" he growled as he continued to empty his bag
Immediately in the blink of an eye everyone's face lit up as they all yelled
"WHAT !"
The news felt weird even coming out of James's mouth
"Yeah, it's news to me too"
"I'M SORRY YOU HAVE A BROTHER !" Pym exclaimed
"Apparently. he's the one who ransacked this place and took Stacy and my aunt"
"Your aunt ?"
Clicking his gun back and putting his pistol in the holster James spoke
"Apparently"
Grabbing his bracelets and strapping them to his wrist James turned back as he started to head to the balcony but was immediately stopped by a black metal rod
"Where the hell do you think you're going ?" Azari growled but James wasn't amused as he just turned the staff away
"Not in the mood Azari"
"YOUR NOT IN THE MOOD !"
Azari's anger began to rise as he stepped in front of the red head pushing him back
"I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR ! YOU ! YOU GO AWAY TO SOME FOREIN COUNTRY AFTER YOU TOLD ME NOT TO ! JUST TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY HERITAGE WHICH YOU TOLD ME NOT TO ! AND NOW WHEN IT TOOK US DAYS TO FIND YOU YOUR JUST GONNA UP AND LEAVE US AGAIN ! WERE NOT EVEN GONNA TALK ABOUT THE SUIT CHANGE ! HELL NO ! NO WAY ! YOUR GONNA GET YOUR ASS ON A PLANE AND WERE GOING BACK TO NEO NEW YORK !"
"I CAN'T !"
"WHY NOT !"
"BECAUSE I NEED TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED !"
"Why James ?" Torunn added as she stepped closer to him
Hesitantly James stepped back
"BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING I NEED TO DO !"
"What is it ? We're a team ?" Pym said
"I JUST NEED TO DO IT !"
"What is it Rogers ?"
"MY BUSINESS !"
"Why, why are you pushing us away James-"
"BECAUSE I'M SCARED OK !" he admitted in a practical scream as tears started to fall down his face
Dropping to his knees James began to full fledge cry as Torunn quickly hugged him
"Red Skull is back" James said causing a chill to run down everyone's spine
"He's back and I'm scared. I'm scared of what he could be doing to the only parts of my family that I know, I'm scared of Hydra and the red room. I'm scared of him and…and…and I know if I fail I would've let my parent's down and….and i'm just so scared"
He only hugged Torunn harder as everyone was in complete shock as they've never seen James like this. Usually he's the fearsome leader but now he was just a crying mess being held up by a half god and everyone felt so sorry for him
So sorry that Francis sighed as he walked away
James's crying continued as Torunn held him together softly rubbing his back as he continued to tremble in her arms
"Rogers get up" Francis said making James look up
Through the water of his tears James saw the platinum blonde lend out a hand and in his other was his shield
James stayed planted on the ground as he legs felt heavy but Francis continued to persist
"You think your Dad ever thought this was easy ? I mean he fought in a war for crying out loud. Or your Mom who's watched the light fade out of many people's eyes knowing she's the one who did it. You think they went on knowing they had to leave their son behind knowing they would be facing their death ?"
"Francis !" Torunn persisted but the archer just continued
"Your Dad flew a plane with bombs on it into a icy tundra knowing he would never see the sunrise again, Your mom had to unwillingly kill people for the same organization you're trying to take down"
"FRANCIS THAT'S ENOUGH !"
"You had to live without your parent's all your life, watch as the man who raised you ALL OF YOU ! DIED IN YOUR ARMS ! FIGHTING AGAINST THE MONSTER THAT KILLED ALL OF OUR PARENTS !"
Tournn was ready to forcefully stop Francis that was until she heard James's tears stop flowing
"BUT THIS ! THIS IS WHERE YOU BREAK DOWN AND START CRYING ! YOU DEFEATED ULTRON ! RECREATED SHIELD ! LEAD A TEAM OF NEXT GENERATION HEROES ! I'VE SEEN YOU TAKE ON AN ARMY OF ROBOTS FOR HOURS ON END AND A MAN WITH A RED SKULL MAKES YOU CRY ! THE SAME MAN THAT YOUR FATHER HAS PUNCHED IN THE FACE MANY TIMES !"
Angrily James began to clench his fist
"Look Rogers, everyone has moments where they're scared. I'm sure both your parents have felt that moment more times than you have. And that's ok. But what matters most isn't what you're afraid of. It's how you overcome fear. And most importantly who you have to help you. You know who taught me that"
Tournn felt James tense up under her so slowly she began to unravel from him. Once she was done James took Francis's hand as the blonde helped him up to his feet
A smile formed on the red heads face as he chuckled
"Using my own words against me"
Francis smiled back
"Thought you could use some of that Captain america guidance" he said as he handed James the shield in which he accepted
"You guys sure you wanna help me take down The red room"
"Well we came all the way out here mine as well punch something" Azari smirked
"Were with you James all the way"
Looking at the team. His team James couldn't feel more proud to be leading a better squad
"I wish I knew where the location of the base was"
"Actually I think I could help with that" Pym said as he rejoined the group and showed James his wrist. It was beeping and what Surprised James more was it was his tracker ?
"Seems like someone wanted you to be found"
"It's my aunt" James smiled
"Well now we know where they are so let's go save them" Tournn said as hit her palms
A smirk formed on James's face as his shield shined bright
"Well then, AVENGERS ! ASSEMBLE !"

The Chamber Door opened up and in came Red Skull as Stacy and Yelena were in confined chairs
They both had angry expressions in their faces as they tried to pry out of the chairs but nothing seemed to work as Red Skill walked towards Stacy with his hands behind his back
"Ms Barnes, why it's quiet a pleasure to meet you" he darkly smiled but Stacy wasn't amused
"Your Red Skull, tch you're even uglier in person"
"Such fire within you, just like your Father, took us a while to dig into his brain but we managed"
Red Skull knew how to push her buttons and he found it right as Stacy just contained to growl at him as she squinted her eyes
"Don't try with the mind games , we've injected you with a sensitive that should dull your Mutant Genes"
Bring his hand up to grab at her chin Red Skull chuckled
"Funny, to me Mr Barnes seemed fond of Ms Romanov"
"Heh, well you must be dumber than you look. Because I'm 100% a Frost"
"That you may be" Red Skull said as he let go of her chin "your powers will serve a satisfying purpose for our future soldiers. You don't know it yet Ms Barnes but you just changed Hydra for the better"
Stacy only contained her glare towards the German Villian before a voice spoke up
"Ahh shut your mouth Schmitt, you don't scare anyone. You never did"
Turing his head Red Skull smirked
"Ahh, Ms Belova, this must feel nostalgic. Your finally home"
"This was never my Home. It was a hell I was forced in"
"I see some of your Brother-in-law's spirit lives on in you"
"Oh trust me Schmitt. You better hope I never get out of these bindings because if I do I promise you I'll snap your neck in Steven's name"
"Interesting. Well don't worry Ms Belova. I have special plans for you too. You will serve a special purpose for these children. Your be the mother you never had"
"I didn't need one" Yelena growled as they were face to face Lee inches apart
"Ah yes, I nearly forgot you and Ms Romanov's relationship-"
"It's Rogers, hilarious. I always thought you'd remember one of the greatest things that happened to your sworn enemy. But then again you haven't been a threat since Steven kicked your ass when you tried to take over his body"
Red Skull merely shared a look at the assassin before turning back so he could get a full face of the females
"Enjoy these last moments of your will. Because soon enough we shall break them as you will become loyalist to Hydra"
"No one's scared of Hydra" Stacy snarled
"I assure you little girl Hydra has been around far longer than even your Father. Many have attempted to take down Hydra and most have failed. How do you plan on taking it down ?"
"Easy, I just have to kill you"
Red Skull simply didn't respond as he just turned back leaving the chamber
"You think James is ok ?"
"James will be fine, don't you worry"
"How can you be so sure ?"
"Because if he's anything like his Mother and Father than you should know better than anyone he doesn't stay down for long"
.
.
.

Using his binoculars James zeroed in on the facility. Red Skull was right the place was all the way up in the mountains
"Alright, a high combat facility with Hydra level security, a giant fortified wall on the exterior, and a couple hundred super soldier spies in training. Just a normal Tuesday right ?" Francis said
"We gotta play this smart. One false move and this whole facility goes Red, this is my one chance at truly ending the Red Room so I can't miss. Pym I need you to shrink in and find Stacy and my aunt. They should be being held captive within the place there both blonde can't be hard to find"
"Got it James" Pym said before shrinking down and zipping away
"Me and Francis are gonna drop from the roof. Infiltrate the base quietly and find a way to shut down the security. When we do that's your signal"
Torunn and Azari smirked
"Boom goes the dynamite"
Francis shot out a line arrow attaching it to the top of the base
"Alright we doing this ?"
With a quick glance to his shield James smiled before looking up at Francis
"Yeah. yeah we're doing this"
"Alright then Azari see you on the flip side Babe stay beautiful"
Tournn rolled her eyes as Azari chuckled and soon enough the two used two separate wires to zip down the line
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
James and Francis landed on the roof with a soft thud as Francis uncliped the line while James found the floor grate the could use to enter quickly prying it off
"Well ladies first" Francis said making James groan before he hopped in using his hands and legs to slow down his momentum as Franics soon followed through
It wasn't long until the two were traveling through the air duct going through turns in the metal contraption as they needed to head to the power station
"So, you're calling Frostbite by her name now ? when that happen ?"
"Francis can we not"
"Sorry it's just you were so keen on beating her now you're calling her by her first name. What did you sleep with her or something"
James didn't answer making Francis's eye go wide as he stopped moving
"Oh my god…You slept with her !"
"We were just caught in the moment ! it happens. Nothing too serious plus were staying friends so you don't have to worry about me running off with her"
"Oh i'm not, in fact after this mission I especially made a promise to kick your ass and get you back in america"
James chuckled
"So you stepped up while I was gone huh"
"Yeah and it wasn't easy"
"Now you know what I deal with everyday"
"Yeah but you're built for it. I'm not"
"Don't count yourself short. The team needed someone to fill my shoes. And you fit the bill. Being a leader isn't just about work, it's about keeping the team together and working as one big unit. Clearly that worked as you all banded together to find me. So i'm proud to know I have someone I can put in charge if needed
Immediately Francis was taken back
"Did….did you just give me a complement ?"
"Oh i'm really regretting it now"
"No take backs !"
Rolling his eyes the two boys continued their journey as soon enough they hovered over the power station
Pulling out his bow Francis got an electric arrow
"Ok the security room is just down the hall I short circuit the power room all lights go off forcing the system to reboot"
"Alright I'll stand clear of the security room and wait for your go" James said as he soon dispatched from Francis
"Pym what's your clear ?"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Found them James Cellblock C"
"Alright we're going lights out in 3, free them and wait until the lights turn out"
"Got it"
Shrinking down into the sub chamber Pym made his way to Stacy and Yelena
Using his beams Pym burned right through both of their straps that held them down freeing them Immediately making the two blondes confused as they felt their wrist and legs were free
"Did You ?"
"No, did you ?"
"No ?"
"I did !" a tiny voice said making the girls confused but quickly enough Pym grew to normal size and revealed himself
"I sprung you free, your welcome. Also hey Stacy we haven't truly met"
Yelena just confusingly looked at Stacy
"Oh this is Pym. Ant-Man and Wasp's son. He's a member of James's team The Avengers"
"James rebuilt the Avengers ?"
"Yep ! we came to rescue you"
"Wait we ?"
With a smile Pym nodded his head
"Me Azari, Tournn, Francis and James"
"Wait James is here ?!"
"Mhm"
Pressing a finger to his comms Pym spoke
"The girls are saved James"
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Great work Pym I'm above the security room right now. When the lights go out guide the girls to the main hall that's where we will meet up
"Ok"
James approached the crate above the security room and spotted tow guards in a seat watching the entire facility.
He had a plan of a attack as slowly he opened the grate and used his bracelet to deploy a line into the metal roof before slowly ascending down into the room below right behind the two guards keeping watch
James simply clashed their two heads together knocking them out instantly before moving thor bodies that was blocking the keypad
"Alright guys, going Dark in 5,4,3,2,,,,,"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Immediately the lights went out in the hallway grabbing his attention immediately
He already knew the person that could've created this and just gritted his teeth as he formed a fist
"Time for a family reunion"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"JAMES ! JAMES !"
Turning his head the Red Head saw the sight of a tiny neon light coming towards him and with him was Stacy and Yelena making him simile
"GUYS !"
Quickly he rushed towards the group and aimed to hug both Stacy and Yelena in a tight hold
"You guys ok"
"Yes, thank you James"
"Umm were here to ?" Francis commented as he had his goggles on in night vision mod
"I knew you would find us James, I'm glad your friend here was able to notice I picked up your tracker"
Pym gave a satisfied smile
"Alright we gotta get out of here Azari and Tournn can only distract for so long"
"Yeah you guys head to the garage exit which leads to the yard which is where Azari and Tournn are. From there Pym and Tournn can fly you out"
Immediately Stacy's eyebrow raised as she picked up the lack of him in that plan
"Us, what about you ?"
James avoided eye contact with the other's as he gripped his shield tighter
"I need to find Red Skull, I take him out I end the Red Room operation"
"What ?! JAMES THAT'S SUICIDE !" Yelena said in which everyone agreed
"Yeah look we came here to save them" Francis said as he pointed towards Stacy and Yelena "mission accomplished, let's leave while things are easy"
"That's the problem Francis, I can't take the easy choice. You were right. My parents did face moments where they were probably scared. But I can't call myself a hero, let alone Captain America if I take the easy way out. Red Skull can't be left here. I came here to end the Red Room in the first palace and that's what I plan to do"
Everyone was hating this plan with a burning passion including Yelena as she just groaned
"Completely stubborn just like your Mother. Alright were going with your plan, Tiny boy"
"Yes ?"
"You come with me"
"Ok ?"
Now it was James's turn to be confused
"What ? where are you going ?" James asked as Yelena and Pym began to leave the group
"Schmitt has Widow's I must free them"
James made a face trying to say something but before he could even get a word out Yelena and Pym flew and ran away
"Ok we're with you" Stacy said in which James immediately shook his head
"No guys this is my fight-"
"Ah shut that this is my destiny crap up" Francis said
"We're a team so we're gonna act like one where we going"
It was annoying be deep down James was glad to have some backup with him
"Follow me"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Grabbing a Hydra agent by his helmet Tournn smiled before chucking him into another pile of men
"TASTE THE MIGHT OF THE DAUGHTER OF THOR HA HA !"
Azari had an electric force field up around him deflecting the gunfire and bullets around him as he used his staff close range beating up the nearby Hydra agents around him
Using his black rod to trip a Agent he finishes him with a slam to the head
"Hey Azari new plan"
"Yeah, what is it ?"
"Were gonna go Kill Red Skull"
"Oh" Azari said completely being taken back by the news
"Ok"
"You and Beautiful good ?"
"Umm"
In the air Thor brought down lighting upon the Hydra agents as she was laughing while they were running away
"Yeah we're good"
"Ok Hawkeye out"
Finishing his Call Azari went back into the fight as Black lighting started to erupt around him
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
James had used his hands to pry open the metal door that lead to the giant room he knew was Red Skull's as when James, Stacy and Francis walked in they didn't expect the man himself to be standing right there on a black thrown waiting for them
He held such a sinister smile on his face as he was leaned in his chair
"James it's finally such an ho-"
Immediately James threw his shield Francis shot 3 arrows and Stacy threw a knife right at him all of which were deflected by some sort of red force field that stopped the attacks on impact as James just caught his shield back
"Manner's children. Did your parents not ever teach you that"
Immediately James picked up his pace as he got up to run at the man but he immediately hit the brakes in a halt as another Shield bounced in front of him making him stop as a figure jumped into action catching the Shield
James only kept his intense glare as he finally got to see full front of the Red Figure and he didn't like who he was posed as
"Red Guardian so glad you could join the fight"
Starting into his intense eyes James growled as he gripped his shield tighter
"You think that's his brother ?" Stacy asked
"Well besides the intense looks they give each other. I would say the Shield gives it away. Plus look at those muscles. He definitely has some sort of Super Soldier serum in him"
"Yeah well he's definitely older too"
James took a breathe before he spoke
"Are you truly my brother ?"
"Look for yourself" Red Guardian said as he placed the shield to his back
Sliding his hands up to his face he took off the mask revealing his face and almost immediately James went wide eyed
Blonde hair and blue eyes in all there no doubt stood a man who was Steve Roger's son. Only thing different was he had a scar gashing across his right eye
It took all of James's power to stay on two feet as words tried to form out of his mouth but he just couldn't
Red Guardian just smirked
"What's wrong Little Brother. Lost of words, no Hell or good to see you"
He clicked his tongue
"Yeah, that's what happens when your abandoned as a child"
"Your Mom…she's"
"Yeah. Sharon Carter, obviously she's no Natasha Romanoff as cleary Dad only cares about which woman can get his dick the wettest"
"HEY ! DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ON MY FATHER'S NAME !"
"HE'S MY FATHER TOO ! AN A SHIT ONE AT THAT !"
Anger started to resonate from his body as he growled
"ALL HE CARED ABOUT WAS THAT DAMN FRISBEE STRAPPED BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS ! AND NOTHING ELSE ! EVERYONE THINKS THEY KNOW WHO OUR FATHER IS BUT THEY DON'T ! THEY THINK STEVE ROGERS BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT ! STEVE ROGERS DIED IN 1945 AND ALL THAT REMAINED WAS A PTSD RIDDEN SOLDIER"
James angrily clenched his hand as he heard enough
"I hope you like the threads" he said as he was obviously hinting towards the Red Guardian costume
"Yeah I know all the shit the old guy did to your Mother and well…heh, I wanted it to spark up some old memories"
In a fury of blind rage James chucked his shield right at his half Brother an attack he Easily countered catching the Shield and throwing it to the ground with a clank before running towards James in a clash
Francis and Stacy too followed James but were stopped when a red laser was drawn at their feet
Looking up they saw 2 shadow figures approach from above only making Red Skull smirk
"I have a little gift for you. Something I like to Call the Taskmaster Protocol. Used technology from a long time ago something called a Sentinel
Stacy drew out a diamond spear throwing it at one of the figures only for it to be caught with ease and in a matter of seconds the figure dropped the spear to the ground and Stacy watched as it's whole body covered itself with the same diamond form before reverting back to normal
"Well great" Francis groaned before the two figures charged towards them
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yelena and Pym walked into some type of sleeping chamber as immediately they were drawn to see a group of Men and Woman in some type of sleep as a red light surrounded them
"What is this place ?"
"This is where they keep the Widows" Yelena sighed as she approached the console
"So how are we gonna wake them up ?"
"Like this"
Pressing the eject button Yelene opened up all the capsules releasing the trapped prisoners as slowly one by one they began to wake up stepping out of their singular spaces
Pym gulped as he hit behind Yelena who only gave a strong face
"Меня зовут Елена Белова. Висячий номер #2" (My name is Yelena Belova. Widow Number #2) she said watching as all the Widow's looked in shook
"Теперь ты свободен. Идите через гараж и бежать через автомобиль начала жизнь далеко отсюда" (You are free now. Go through the Garage and escape through the vehicle's start a life far from here)
The trains spy's all looked around at one another in confusion as Yelena just groaned
"Why aren't they moving ?"
"Because their still under control"
Taking Pym's hand Yelena brought him over to the laboratory as she immediately started to mess with the chemicals
"We need to make an antidote"
"Do you know how ?"
"It's a very old mixture one I haven't made in years"
"But it should work right ?"
"We will see"
That didn't sound very reassuring and that's all Pym could think about as he was helping James's aunt mix chemicals
.
.
.
.
.
.
Throwing a punch at Red Guardian the man quickly countered with a punch back knocking James backa little before sending a strong kick to his chest laying him down to the ground with a grown
"Names Ian by the way" he said before raising his foot to stomp on James
"Ian Joseph Rogers" lowering his foot James quickly rolled away before before flipping back to his feet
"Great your an asshole and your middle name is based off Dad's Abusive Father"
James found himself in a serious brutal fight with Ian as he gave 2 quick kicks to his stomach before grabbing his head landing with a serious knee before using the same move again kneeing him in the chin
Ian only chuckled about the hits as he wiped the blood from his lip
"Gonna have to hit harder than that Little Brother" he said before rushing to James again ducking under his attempted punch grabbing him from the behind ad he suplexed him
Francis and Stacy were dealt with their own fight as they found it to be quite the opposite of easy
Using one of his arrow's Francis shot at the dark figure only for his attack to mean nothing as the figure just caught the arrow
Grabbing another arrow from his quiver Francis shot it and again the dark figure caught the weapon but he was quickly zapped to the floor making Francis smirk
But his smirk faded as a surge of electrical energy surrounded his body
"FUCK !" Francis yelled before rolling out the way dodging a electrical counter
Stacy was in a sword fight as she struck her blade meeting the dark figure's
Sliding her blade down his Stacy did a twist flip as she struck again which was blocked before the two clashed blade after blade each hit she felt herself losing more and more of her grip as when she went overhead the dark figure went underhead slashing a cut in her leg making her yelp and drop to one knee
Francis turned his head to see Stacy locked in a hold as the dark figure placed his blade over her neck
"Damn it"
Francis grabbed an arrow from his quiver and steadied his shot but before he could let it go a knife was thrown at his hand slashing a cut to it
"AH !" he yelled as he dropped his bow before being dropped to the floor as the dark figure was currently stepping on his neck
A smile formed on Red Skull's face as he turned to James and Ian's fight
Ian held James in a chokehold one knee to the ground
Both were bruised and bleeding heavily injured as the blood coming from James's lip and nose matched his hair as both his and Ian's were messy
James tried to break free from the hold but it was no use as Ian continued to grip tighter
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"How is it coming along ?"
"Almost done" Yelena said as she mixed in the last toxin
"One whiff of this and they will be free from Red Skull's hold"
"We don't really have the time to go around passing sniffs"
Taking the silver antidote from the station Yelena handed Pym the vile
"That's why you're gonna release it through the air duct little one"
"WHAT !"
The Widow's eyes started to flash red before soon they stood in a fighting stance grabbing both their attention as Yelena said a russian slur before pulling out a baton that charged with red electric energy
"Wha…what's happening ?"
"Red Skull must've activated them you need to shrink into the air duct now and release the gas"
"I..I…I"
"You must go now ! I'll hold them off" a million thoughts were running through Pym's head but when Yelena yelled at him to go now in Russian he yelped and shrinked flying off as the Widow's charged at Yelena
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this." Pym told himself over and over again as he traveled through the built in air ducts
"Just have to go to the fan release this gas and hope to god this works so James's aunt doesn't die no biggie"
A shiver ran through Pym's body as he chanted I can do this all over again
But his monologue was cut off as he heard James, Francis and Stacy's grunts
Peering through the crack of the vents Pym's eyes shot up as he saw his friends stuck in the predicament they were in
"Crap"
Pym started to bite his lip as he began to think
"James's aunt is about a couple of seconds from getting jumped by Soldiers But the other's need my help. But I need to release this Gas. But the other's could die GAHHH ! WHY AM I ALWAYS LEFT WITH THE HARD DECISIONS !"
Gripping his hair tightly Pym took some deep breaths as he started to think
"Come on Hank Pym Jr think how could I kill 2 birds with one stone ?"
Pym continued to think hard as Ideas flashed through his mind but soon enough he landed on one that gave him a satisfied smile
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Pressing his foot harder on Francis's neck the platinum blonde continued to groan as he was starting to lose air circulation
His Bow was just out of reach from his hand angering him even more and his reach only started to grow more and more frantic as he saw the Shadow figure raise his sword up ready to strike
It wasn't until Francis saw the sword come down and he covered his face in fear that his body tensed up as he waited for the inevitable
Something that
Didn't come ?
Slowly unraveling his hands from his face Francis saw as the figure seemed almost stuck ?
With his sword raised in the air Francis grew confused as the figure didn't seem to move
"What the he-"
BLAM
Right there and then the dark figure's head popped like a balloon making Francis jump
"AH SHIT ! AH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK ! WHAT THE ABSOLUTE HELL !"
"FRANCIS ! FRANCIS CALM DOWN ! IT'S JUST ME !"
Growing back to normal size Pym appeared right in front of Francis's tense form as his eye were wide
"Pym ? did you ?"
"Their robots don't worry. But you need to use those Archer skills of ours and help Stacy because we're kinda on a time crunch here
"Right sorry"
Doing a quick roll Francis grabbed his Bow and arrow
"HEY ROBOTO !" Francis said causing the robot to turn his head
"Catch this asshole"
Letting the string fly the Robot used his free hand to catch the arrow with ease expect right there and then a diamond blade was pierced through the bottom of it's head and Stacy groaned as she threw the robot off of her before dropping to the floor
Francis and Pym came to her aid as they helped her up but their small victory was short lasted as a voice calling to them grabbed their attention
Red Skull had moved from his Throne as now he was on the same ground they stood on
Ian's hold on James only grew tighter As Red Skull continued to talk
"You Children fought well I Admit. But this child's play will not be tolerated any longer" Red Skull said as suddenly a swarm of Widow's surround the group
They were obviously out numbers and everyone just gritted their teeth as Pym was the only one to be confident about the situation they were dealt with
"You're right. It won't because in 3 seconds you will no longer have an army to stand with you"
Almost as if it was on que Red Dust emerged from above making everyone look up in awe. Well everyone but Red Skull his eyes only dilated as he knew what was coming
"NO !"
The widow's started to cough heavily as their eyes flashed Red and Ian seemed to be just as confused
James felt his grip slip so using the advantage he had James flipped Ian from above and landed a powerful blow right across his face knocking him out instantly as James just sighed
"You're no Rogers. Brother"

Being Held in a tight hold Yelena was trapped by the other Widow's as one send a punch to her face
Again the same widow was ready to strike again but was stopped when the same red dust came raining down from above beginning the mirage of coughs
A smile formed on Yelena's face as her arm hold was slowly unraveled as she could see the humanity come back in their eyes
"...where…..where am I ?" A Widow said
Rising to her feet Yelena placed a hand on her shoulder
"You're free"
.
.

Rising to his feet James picked up his Shield and growled towards Red Skull
"You're outNumbered Red Skull. Give up"
Looking around his surroundings he knew it was true as he saw everyone turning against him making him let out a scream of rage
"NO ! NO ! NOT AGAIN ! NEVER AGAIN ! I DID NOT SPEND OVER 90 YEARS FIGHTING STEVE ROGERS TO BE STUCK IN THE SAME ENDLESS CYCLE AGANSIT HIS SON ! NEVER AGAIN !"
Pulling a detonator from his coat Red Skull flipped the switch and pressed the button starting the timer as an alarm started to beep through the facility making everyone go wide eyed. Only Red Skull was smirking as he held the trigger in his hands
"IF HYDRA MUST FALL SO BE IT ! BUT LET IT FALL KILLING THE LAST BLOODLINE OF STEVE ROGERS WITH IT !"
Immediately James threw his shield at Red Skull knocking him back enough to drop the trigger. But it wasn't enough to keep him down as he quickly got up and started to run out of the giant room in which James quickly followed
"YOU GUYS EVACUATE THE BUILDING ! TAKE THE WIDOW'S TO THE GARAGE AND DRIVE TO SAFETY !"
"WAIT JAMES !"
"I SAID GO !"
With that James ran out the room following Red Skull as Francis let Stacy lean on Pym as he started to direct the widow's out of the room
"Wait…..where is James's Brother ?" Stacy pointed out as she noticed the spot he got knocked out in was missing
"If we're lucky that douchebag ran away. No time to think about it we gotta go come on"

Landing a roundhouse kick to the guards face Azari and Torunn had finished all the guards as they noticed the facility beeping
"Azari, Tournn come in"
"Pym ? what happened"
"Red Skull set the place to self destruct, we're evacuating the Widow's right now so we're on serious go time !"
"Yeah but James chased after Red Skull" Francis said as he joined the comms
Azari groaned
"Of course he did"
"Alright we're on our way"
.

Throwing his Shield again he landed it right on Red Skull's back making the man fall stopping him from his approach to the helicopter
Picking the shield back up James struck again, his fist landed right where Red Skull would've been causing a dent in the ground
"I'VE FOUGHT YOUR FATHER FOR OVER A CENTURY BOY !"
Red Skull threw a punch landing right at James Shield as the red head punched Red Skull again knocking him back
"SINCE WORLD WAR 2 I'VE WATCHED AS HE TOPPLED MY REGIMES ! SAVED COUNTLESS OF MY PRISONERS ! GAVE THE PEOPLE HOPE WITH THE SAME TOOL THAT YOU CARRY IN YOUR HANDS !"
Pulling a gun out from his coat Red Skull started to shoot as James blocked the fire doing a side flip to knock the gun from his hand before he dodged another punch sending his knee into Red Skull's stomach before doing a backflip kicking him right in the jaw
Red Skull groaned
"ONLY TO ENTER A NEW CENTURY FINDING OUT THE SAME MAN ! HAS FOLLOWED ME THERE !"
Red Skull rose to his feet as James just held a glare at the man
"Your Father was my rival. I spent nearly 3 lives trying to kill him. To recreate what made him him. He married Russia's greatest asset and produced the finest specimen the world has ever seen since Jesus died on the cross for our sins. For over 3 lives I've been fighting Captain America. For over a century I've seen that damn Shield challenge Hydra to its core AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND !"
Grabbing the gun from the ground Red Skull pointed it at James expect this time the Red head didn't attempt to counter
"HOW CAN A SINGLE MAN STOP AN ARMY ! HOW CAN YOU STOP MY ARMY ! NO MOTHER ! NO FATHER ! NO UNCLE ! YOU ARE ALONE IN THIS WORLD ! HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE TO FIGHT WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING !"
Strapping the shield to his back James got from his fighting position as he walked closer to Red Skull
With shaking hands Red Skull tried to pull the trigger but he just couldn't. It was as if he was seeing Steve Rogers himself
"You're wrong Shmidt. I'm not alone and my parents aren't dead"
Grabbing the gun from his hands Red Skull dropped it in fear as he started to step back
"They live inside of me every day. They live on in my spirit as I continue to fight people like you to defend the things they loved so much"
"DETONATION IN T MINUS 5 SECONDS"
Grabbing Red Skull by the shirt James growled
"And as long as people like you continue to plague the earth I will be here to fight them"
"BECAUSE MY NAMES JAMES ROGERS ! AND I AM CAPTAIN AMERICA !"
Raising his fist in a tight hold James landed a final punch right through Red Skull's face trying to break as many bones as he could as he knocked him out instantly right into the helicopter
"DESTINATION IN 3…"
Jumping into the vehicle James started up the chopper as fast as he could switching all the buttons and starting the blades
"2"
Lifting into the air James took off
"1"
"Hail Hydra"
BOOOOOOOM

Looking up into the view everyone watched the explosion erupt it was definitely massive
Yelena could feel herself get lighter as a smile formed on her face
Finally, The Red Room was gone. And it wasn't coming back
Ever
"You should be proud Natalia. Your son did good"
Slowly everyone began to hear the sound of a helicopter wiring in the distance as they looked up from the sunset a wide smile growing on their faces
"JAMES !"
Everyone watched as the black helicopter came down and parked itself near them and saw as James hopped out
No one hesitated to run towards them as everyone gave him a major group hug and James couldn't help but laugh and smile
"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN YOU PSYCHO !" Pym yelled and James just continued smile
"Don't worry, I won't need to. Plus I got what I came for"
Unraveling from the hug James opened the slider door revealing Red Skull unconscious
"Would you look at that? That's a sight for loving eyes" Francis quppied and for once everyone let out well needed laugh

Standing around at the airport hanger Pym and the other's were starting up the Jet as James was talking with Yelena and Stacy
"So. back to Neo New York with you guys huh"
With one hand in his pocket James scratched the back of his head and nodded
"Yeah. The World need's The Avengers. But most importantly it needs Captain America"
"And the world couldn't have a better choice if they tried" Yelena said adding on to James smile as she hugged him tightly not wanting to let go
It was as if Natasha was hugging her also and she loved every moment of it
"So what do you have in plan Aunt Yelena" James asked as they unravel from their hug
"With the Red Room finally gone Girls don't need to worry about the Red Room taking them. But there will always be evil so I decided I'm gonna open up a home for girls. Give them a safe sanction were they can feel safe and protected"
"That's amazing, got a name for it ?"
"Yeah, The Natasha foundation"
James smiled
"It's perfect"
Grabbing his bag from the ground James handed it to Yelena
"But Russia's gonna need a protector just in case criminals step out of line and I figured this could help you out"
Yelena gave him a confusing look but James just continued to smile and Yelena chuckled as she unzipped the bag
The Bag revealed a black catsuit with a red hourglass zipper and immediately Yelena recognized what it was making her go wide eyed as she looked at James
Tears started to form in her eyes and the two immediately hugged again
"Mom would want you to have it. It's about time for the Black Widow to bring hope to others"
Yelena couldn't even speak about how happy she was so she just continued to hug him tighter
"Thank you"
"No problem"
Soon enough their conversation ended as James picked up his bag putting it around his shoulders as he turned to Stacy
"So, what's next for Frostbite"
Stacy chuckled as she moved some hair out of her eyes
"I think it's about time I start looking for those Next X-men you were talking about. Who knows maybe I'll find out more about my past and maybe I'll find others like me. There has to be some mutants out there right"
Her answer gave James a satisfying conclusion as they just smiled before engaging in a hug with one another
Pressing a soft kiss to James's cheek the two looked at one another
"Goodbye James Rogers"
"Goodbye Stacy Barnes"
With a last look James, Stacy and Yelena held a final group hug before James walked off into the jet waving at his aunt and friend as the hatch to the hanger closed and the Jet started
Francis, Pym, Tournn and Azari were all in their seats as James too passenger next to Azari with a proud smile
"You guys ready for our next adventure" James smiled
Everyone shared looks with one another and nodded their heads
"Well then, AVENGERS ! ASSEMBLE !"
With chants and woo's the team took off ready to face whatever challenge they had next
