Chapter 8
Dorothy looked over at Peggy. "I'll go and talk to Howard." Dorothy said, patting Peggy's arm. "I'll meet the two of you at the airhanger." Dorothy moved quickly towards Howard's tent and quickly went inside of the tent. "Howard."
Howard looked up from a design that he was working on. "Dorothy, dear sister, what are you doing here? I thought we were going to meet up for dinner later." He questioned as he got up to his feet.
"Well, we need a bit of a favor, Howard…"
Howard's dark brows raised as he looked at his sister. "You look guilty… like you're about to do something utterly stupid."
Dorothy rubbed the back of her neck a little bit looking down. "Yes, probably."
"What is it?"
"We need to be flown in to where the 107th was taken."
Howard's jaw dropped a little.
"If you don't want to do it Howard, I can fly us in…"
Howard shook his head. "No, you're not doing it alone. I'm in."
CAFACAFA
Dorothy sat in the front of the plane with Howard helping him control the plane.
Steve buttoned fatigues over his cap shirt. The helmet with the letter A sat on the bench next to him.
"The Hydra camp is in Krausberg, tucked between two mountain ranges. It's a factory of some kind." Peggy said as she pointed at the map showing him what he needed to know.
Howard leaned back from the controls as Dorothy took over. "We should be able to drop you right on the doorstep."
"Just get me as close as you can." Steve told Howard. "You know, you're going to be in a lot of trouble when you land."
"And you're not?" Peggy questioned looking up at him.
"Yeah, but where I'm landing, if anybody yells at me, I get to shoot them."
"They're undoubtedly going to shoot back."
Steve showed her his shield that was strapped onto his back. "It's got to be good for something."
Dorothy let out a soft chuckle as she continued to fly the plane.
"Agent Carter, if we're not in too much of a hurry, I thought we'd stop in Lucerne for a late night fondue." Howard said with a grin.
Steve looked a little tweaked. "Why is he saying "fondue" like that? What's fondue?"
Peggy looked at Steve silently amused by the whole thing. "Stark's the best civilian pilot I've ever seen, and mad enough to brave this airspace. We're lucky to have him."
"Do you, are you two...fondue?"
"Take this transponder. Activate it when you're ready and the signal will lead us right to you." Peggy said, handing it to him.
Steve looked at the insignia, "Stark Industries'. "You sure it works?"
"It's been tested more than you have." Dorothy said with a scoff.
Suddenly the plane lurched to the left. Anti-aircraft guns hammered the plae.
Howard quickly joined Dorothy and executed evasive maneuvers to avoid getting hit.
Steve strapped on his parachute and threw open the jump doors.
"Rogers, get back here. We're taking you all the way in!" Peggy ordered him.
Explosions rocked through the air.
Steve hesitated realizing what he was about to do. He turned to Peggy. "ONCE I'M CLEAR, TURN THIS THING AROUND AND GET OUT OF HERE!"
"YOU CAN'T GIVE ME ORDERS!"
"THE HELL I CAN'T!" Steve said bracing in the doorway. "I'M A CAPTAIN!"
The plane lurched once more just as Steve jumped out of the plane.
Dorothy let out a soft groan shaking her head lightly.
Peggy caught a glimpse of Steve's chute. She swore under her breath and then signaled to Howard and Dorothy, who hauled on the throttle.
Dorothy shook her head lightly. "Next time let's not do this again brother."
Howard let out a soft chuckle. "You wanted to help out."
"I know but flying and getting shot at… is more of something that you would do brother dear."
Howard began laughing as they flew towards a safer area. "Of course you would say that. But dear sister, we're both a bit mad to be doing this."
Dorothy let out a soft chuckle and shook her head lightly as they made their way towards a safe area to land and perhaps get some food like Howard had asked prior.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
This is the end of Chapter 8. I hope you enjoyed this part of the story. I know I should've added more into this, but I did try my best. Did a few Howard and Dorothy moments which I love doing to try and get the sibling dynamic. I just hope that you guys enjoyed it. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. Reviews keep me going. I'll try to update soon. Until next time.
