Ten minutes later Steve re-entered. He looked relatively calmer, but still, there was some tension in him. And the spies understood. Just finding out that your bff from the early 20th century was not only alive but a brainwashed assassin was a kick in the gut. The only thing worse than that was your current crush and close friend knowing about your supposed dead bff all along but staying shut.

And Rose wasn't at fault, either. Brainwashed, yes, but Bucky Barnes had made assassination attempts on her. She had all the rights to be pissed. The only good thing was the absence of the older Stark. It would have been worse to control him, had it been him in Rose's stead.

He didn't say anything, just entered, and sat down. About 30 seconds later, Rose re-appeared, a black backpack on her shoulder

She took in everyone and then settled the bag on the kitchen island before she pulled her laptop.

"NYX, I want a global connectivity right now"

"Consider it done, miss"

The other three jumped at the sudden voice

"Who's that?"

"NYX, colleagues. Guys, NYX. next-generation AI. First AI to be fully functional in a magical environment"

"Wasn't that JARVIS?" Nat asked, taking a seat opposite to her on a stool

"JARVIS can work in a stable magic environment. A slight fluctuation and he'd short-circuit. NYX is a bit more advanced"

"Global Connectivity achieved, miss"

"Go through SHIELD files with a fine-tooth comb. Anything remotely resembling HYDRA, pop that up"

"Got it"

"Bucky wouldn't do that"

Clint and Nat looked at Steve and Rose just raised a brow, eyes still fixed on the screen, "Never said it was him. I blamed Winter Soldier, not Bucky Barnes. But that's just me. Not sure how dad would react," she deadpanned before looking at them, "You got anything else?"

Nat nodded and elbowed Steve, who produced a flash drive from his pocket.

"It's got a level 6 protection which will alert the authorities in nine minutes of connectivity," Nat wanted

Rose took the drive and nodded, "Nine minutes is more than enough time for me," she muttered, "NYX, put the HYDRA search on secondary drives. I need your primary focus here"

"On what, miss?"

"As soon as the flash drive gets connectivity, bounce the signal. All over the world. Don't stay at one spot for more than 10 seconds. I want every major hotspot in the world covered."

"Noted"

"Connecting, right...now," Rose plugged it and started working on breaking the drive's AI protections. Rose's fingers moved very quickly with practiced speed and her eyes never strayed from the screen. She was on her turf and she knew what she was doing.


Nat glanced at her watch. 4 minutes had passed and then suddenly Rose pulled the drive out and looked at them, "What's in New Jersey?"

"What?" Nat frowned

Rose turned around her laptop and showed them the place on the map. A deserted place in New Jersey.

"The file has self-destructing programming. After your first attempt to break through its firewalls, it transmitted all its data to the main server hub and just erased everything it had. I cannot retrieve the data but I figured where the data is heading for. And apparently, the data was retrieved from here as well. New Jersey. Exactly this place, here"

"I know this place," Steve muttered, "Or knew"

"Okay?" Clint leaned forward to look at Steve

"I was trained there," Steve replied, "During the war"

"That's great," Clint muttered, "It's a World War II training camp. A ghost camp"

"Why would it show that place?" Steve asked

"That's where the signal is transmitted from," Rose replied, "The algorithm on the drive is getting its data transmission from this..."

"Camp Leigh" Steve provided

"camp in NJ."

"Then we should check that place," Steve started, but no one else moved, "What's wrong?"

"It's a trap, Steve," Clint said

"What?" Steve frowned, "How can you say that?"

"Data transmissions like those don't happen by themselves. They need to be done manually at fixed periods of time," Nat deadpanned, eyes fixed on the wall opposite to her, "Whoever is transmitting the data will alert HYDRA as soon as we step into the camp."

"HYDRA was smart enough to thrive under SHIELD's nose for all these years," Rose added, "It won't be stupid enough to let out such a big hotspot open for anyone to trot in"

"And we are talking about HYDRA agents who work for SHIELD, that's a pretty deep end in itself. And SHIELD has a few hackers around the world that can break any firewall. The Starks are on that list. And let's say, even by a 20% chance they know that you'd ask one of the two for help and figure out the camp, they are gonna be there ready with an ambush. They won't take chances with you and Nat in the open." Clint added

"They are going to scout every single possible location in the country," Rose added, "Open ain't safe for you right now?"

"Then what?"

"We wait," Rose muttered, "We need an opening. Or some slip up from HYDRA. Or a bloody good reason. Anything. But we can't just up and leave," she looked at Steve, "and I'd rather you not step out of this building for a while, no matter what. I thought I told you that every single cop and camera in this fucking country is looking for you. But instead of listening, you had to get out and risk being seen. God knows what's wrong with you."

"What's wrong with me is that I just found out that you lied to me. About Bucky!" Steve replied

Rose faced him back with a glare of her own, which was very fierce, by the way, "I did not fucking lie! Keeping certain secrets is not lying! Grow up! Before I told you about Winter Soldier, you were acting all rational and strategic. But since the reveal, that strategic and mind rational mind is thrown out of the window. Now you are making emotional decisions and that's a risk we cannot afford right now"

"That's my best friend out there"

"Who is a fucking brainwashed HYDRA assassin!" Rose snapped, "for the love of God, Steven, try to understand that Bucky doesn't remember you. He won't even recognize you. For him, you are a mission. A mission he needs to complete and he will kill you without breaking a motherfucking sweat."

"You don't know that," Steve's jaw clenched

"You weren't on his assassin list, I was! And I've looked him in the eyes before I managed to escape. That's not Bucky in there, that's a goddamn killing machine!"

"He is counting on me!"

"No, he is bloody not!" Rose was pissed now. Why wouldn't Steve understand?

Nat quickly jumped in the mid, pushing Steve a little farther,

"She's right Steve. If he recognized you, he'd have done it that night when you pursued him. He's brainwashed. He doesn't know what he's doing."

"and that's why I need to save him!" Steve snapped at Nat

"Is he for real?" Rose muttered in shock when she heard Steve

"Afraid so," Clint replied, pulling her a little closer to him

"Steve we can't just barge out there to save him. We need a strategy"

Steve opened his mouth to say something but Rose cut him, "If you say what I think you are going to say, don't waste your breath. Bucky Barnes is dead. That out there, is Winter Soldier, a HYDRA Asset who can and will kill you on sight because you are HYDRA's biggest headache right now. So do us all a favor and shut the fuck up, Steven Rogers!"

Steve did. All the time he had spent around Rose, he had never heard her so angry. She was truly pissed.

"And do us another favor and think this thoroughly. I don't believe in trading lives, but if it were choosing between your best friend turned killing machine or millions of innocent people, who would you choose? Keep that thought in mind before you utter another word," Rose frowned, picked her laptop and her backpack "I'm going to program the chips. If you need anything, let NYX know"

And she walked off.


Rose wasn't someone who was prone to true raw anger. After everything she'd been through, she had developed had a tolerance for stupidity. But this, the whole of Steve's behavior was beyond a regular stupid which didn't look good on the Captain America of all people.

NYX had informed her that Steve had visited the gym floor. That was so typical to Steve. Always venting out at poor punching bags rather than facing the real people and real problems.

She spent the next thirty minutes writing a different program for the chips.

She exhaled. This was not it was all supposed to go. She cared about Steve. He was one of her close friends. She knew she could count on him to watch her back. She had confidence in him to keep a secret or two of hers. She trusted him.

"You alright?"

She looked up to see Clint standing at the doorway, arms and ankles crossed.

"Do I look alright?" she deadpanned

"You looked like you wanted to stab Steve right out there. Multiple times."

Rose snorted, "Few more sentences and I might have"

He chuckled and walked in, pulling a chair with him to sit opposite to her while she worked on her desk with the chips.

"He's on his time of the month"

Rose chuckled, "It's not that. I mean, we don't know what changes that serum did to his body. We can't say for sure."

Clint chuckled before silence spread over once again, "How come you've never said anything?"

"As I said before, I thought everything got destroyed in that explosion. I have the world's smartest and strongest AI. There isn't a firewall JARVIS cannot break. And I couldn't find a thing on winter Soldier or Hydra. I drew a massive blank. what was I supposed to do? I have other important things in life, Clint. I have a massive business, a father, a kid out there waiting to talk to me every day because I can't live with him. I wasn't going to give up everything to chase some stupid ghost story. That chapter was closed. I didn't see a point in revisiting all the time." she exhaled, running her fingers through her hair. She pulled a drawer and took a rubber band and then tied her hair in a ponytail.

"For the record, Winter Soldier ain't the only guy who has tried to kill me. I just don't like to talk about failed assassination attempts on me"

She reached and pulled out the chip from its slot and placed another. She went back to the laptop and rerun the software to reprogram the chips.

Clint reached and picked a chip, toying with it, "So we just get into Triskelion, somehow make it into the helicarriers and put these chips in the slots?"

"It isn't as simple as it sounds," Rose muttered back, "Pierce is gonna make that HQ nothing less of a Death Star, and with Red and blonde nationwide suspects, we are already quite limited."

Clint just took a deep breath. Then another, "The full body polish and massage I had in Hong Kong now kinda feel useless"

Rose looked at him with narrowed eyes, "You went to a Hong Kong spa and got stuff done without me?"

"What was I supposed to do?! I had two free days before you called. In fact," he used the chip to point at her, "I was in the middle of a sulfur soak when you called. And it was amazing"

Rose chuckled, going back to her laptop as she changed the chip again.

"How's Laura and kids?"

"Great. Laura asked if she could customize the backyard a little, and let's just say she's having a lot of fun."

"You have no idea what you have done," Clint ominously replied

Rose gave him a look, "I have magic and I have money. I have no problems with her running a little wild. Coop's getting a hang of magic and it is around him."

"Andy's been teaching him?"

"Most basic so when he'll attend the school, he won't be too overwhelmed. Lila's enjoyed the same too."

Clint nodded, "Which school do you think is best?"

Rose exhaled, "there's still time for that. Besides, you don't apply to school, magical school come to you"

"That saves me a lot of trouble"

"Yeah it does," Rose muttered and pulled the final chip, "there. All chips programmed"

"Why five chips?"

"Safety precautions," she shrugged, before going back to the laptop.

Clint collected the chips and got up, "I'll get the others, and then we can plan our grand entra-"

"We have to go to the camp"

Clint paused and looked at her, "What?"

"The camp. We have to go there"

"Why?"

She turned the laptop around as Clint back to her.

"I hacked into a military satellite, not a word, and have been checking that place since."

"Are these thermal scans?" Clint asked, zooming as certain spots

"Yeah. Not a single human whatsoever."

Clint looked at her, "What about those data transmissions?"

"Still going on. Has to be some kinda program that periodically doing the transmissions? I don't know, Clint. But there's something there. And I think we should check it out."

"It's a trap," Clint repeated

"I know. But look, there's no human presence in the 10km radius yet somehow those data transmissions are going on." Rose kept both her elbows on the table, "Besides if they really wanted this to be lowkey, why choose the camp that trained Captain America? There are more lowkey and secure places out there. SHIELD has tons of places. Even Triskelion"

"Triskelion would be a little obvious." Clint muttered, "Maybe there's something they don't want us to see"

"Or maybe there's something they do want us to see. Something about this place is weird, Clint. And maybe it can answer a lot of our questions."

"Questions like?"

"Questions like how the hell they are doing data transmissions without a manual touch. 'Cause if they can do this, we all are seriously underestimating what all HYDRA can do. We should check this out. And most importantly, this is a data hub. It is filled with data units. And if I can get in that data bank, I'll be hitting gold."

Clint took a deep breath, "alright" he stood straight, "the chips?"

"I'll leave them with Ginny and Luna." she closed the laptop's lid and stood up, "Let's get grumpy and red"


As she had guessed, Steve was beating the stuffing out of a poor punching bag while Nat just sat on a nearby chair. She noticed them enter and then looked back at Steve.

"That is not your face on the bag," she muttered

"I really don't care even if it was," Rose replied back and then raised her voice, "We have to check this New Jersey Camp"

Steve stopped, panting, and looked at her.

"Why?" Nat asked

"There's no one at the camp. No human presence. But the data transfers are still happening" Clint explained

"An AI?" Natasha asked

"Or something of that sort. Whatever it is, if I can hack into it, I can open every single dirty laundry of HYDRA's dating back to god knows how long ago." She put her hands inside her jacket's pockets, "And something about this camp kinda creeps me out. We should check this place out"

"When do we leave?" Steve asked

"Now's a good time," Rose replied


Their three-and-a-half-hour drive to New Jersey was mostly spent in silence. There were a few questions answered and a couple of jokes were told. But nothing to break the tension that they all were feeling.

"Well, that's alright, then you just make something up." Natasha snorted

"What, like you?" Clint scoffed, "Puh-lease"

"I don't know. The truth is a matter of circumstances, it's not all things to all people all the time. And neither am I." Natasha replied

"Agreed, sister." Rose chuckled, as she drove, eyes not straying from the road

"That's a tough way to live," Steve added

"Actually, that is a pretty good way not to die," Clint replied

Steve shot Clint a look, "It's kind of hard to trust someone when you don't know who that someone really is."

"Steve, we are spies. Anonymity and adaptivity come with the job description." Clint replied

"These guys are like onions. Layers over layers over layers. And they make people cry." Rose snorted, "they can be whoever you want them to be."

"Yeah." Nat chuckled, craning her neck to look at Steve behind from the passenger seat, "Who do you want me to be?

Steve looked at the three people, then back at Natasha, "How about a friend?"

Nat softly laughed. Clint chortled and Rose chuckled.

"In that case, you are in the wrong field," Rose deadpanned, "You don't make friends with spies and assassins. It's either an ally or a target. No third relation."

"Or family," Nat provided, "three relations, no forth."

Steve just rolled his eyes.

Rose pulled aside into a dirt road and killed the engine.

"We are not there yet," Steve noted

"Don't wanna take the risk. We are gonna walk the remaining 500 meters"

The four quickly piled out and started heading for the military base.

"Here we are," Clint muttered, as they reached the base

"This is it," Steve muttered

"The file came from these coordinates," Rose added, walking to the gate

"So did I." Steve muttered, looking around

"Thought you came from Brooklyn," Clint joked but it looked like Steve wasn't in the mood.

Rose looked around.

"What?" Natasha asked

"Nothing. Thought I'd use magic to bust any sensor or device around the camp," She replied, sending repeated waves of magic, and finally a Homenum Revelio, "we are the only four people here. That's creepy," she muttered

"So..." Clint drawled, "pickup ladies! Let's go! Double time!" Clint exclaimed in a loud deep voice

Steve folded his arms and frowned at him.

"Come on," Rose chuckled, swinging her arm around Clint's waist, "don't disturb him while he's being all grumpy. Let him act his age"

Clint laughed as the two walked away to explore on their own.

"Weren't we supposed to watch those movies together?" Rose asked

"Coop made me watch a couple of times with him" Clint snorted

"This camp is where I was trained," Steve noted

"Changed much?" Natasha asked

"A little." Steve shrugged

"Clint? Rose? Anything?" Nat asked

"Zilch!" Rose called back then turned around to face the duo, "What exactly are we looking for, anyway?"

Nat just shrugged in response and Steve too gave her a confused look.

Nat continued to look around and checked her phone, "This is a dead-end. Zero heat signature, zero waves, not even radio. Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off."

Steve noticed a building and walked a little ahead

"What is it?" Nat asked

"Army regulations forbid storing ammunition within five hundred yards of the barracks. This building is in the wrong place." He jutted his chin at the building

"Great. Let's open her up," Rose muttered, as the four banded together

Steve opened the lock with his shield and they entered inside. Clint turned the lights on.

"This is SHIELD," Nat noted

"This is where SHIELD started," Rose corrected, looking around before she looked at the three, "I've been here. A long, long time ago. Grandma Peggy once brought me here when she was babysitting me."

"How old were you?" Clint asked

"Couldn't have been more than 2 or 3. If I remember it right, she came here to collect some very old files"

"Here's your grandfather"

Rose turned around and walked to Natasha, who stood in front of an old framed portrait of Howard Stark. Next to him were Peggy and Col. Chester Phillips.

"Fuck him," she looked at Howard, "love her," she looked at Peggy portrait, "didn't know him personally," she looked at Col Chester Philips

"Thet's Peggy?" Natasha asked

"Yeah," Rose chuckled softly, "the best grandmother any kid could ask for"

"We can reminisce later. We got a job to do," Clint reminded them as the four walked inside

They found Steve stopped in front of a massive bookshelf

"If you're already working in a secret office..." Steve pushed pushes the bookshelf and slid it open to reveal an elevator behind it, "Why do you need to hide the elevator?"

"To hide some super-secret," Rose shrugged as she pressed the button on the elevator. It lit up. "Color me surprised. Still works"

The four got into the elevator which only had one other level, to which they pressed the button. The elevator dropped them in a room full of old computers. Which made Rose grin.

"My Christmas came early~!" she almost squealed and walked in

"Remind me to get her an old computer for her birthday," Clint muttered before he raised his voice a little, "be careful, Rose."

"I'll be fine," Rose replied, as the four looked around

"This can't be the data-hub, this technology is ancient," Nat noted

"Oh you bet your pretty Russian arse, it is the data hub," Rose replied, looking around the central system, "What do you think these boxes are? Old-time data storage. Somehow this whole crap of ancient tech is still functional."

"Here's a USB port," Clint noted from behind the main computer

"Here," Rose took out a flash drive from her pocket, "plug it in"

Clint took the drive and plugged it in the back.

"What's in that drive?" Steve asked

"NYX," she replied, checking the front of the computer and noted another USB drive and then turned to Nat and Steve, "give me your drive"

Nat handed it to her, which she plugged into the front slot which ended up activating the computer.

Initiate system?

Rose looked at Nat, "Could you start the system? I'll try to get NYX so she can retrieve all the data from these storages."

Nat nodded and took her spot, answering the system with a Y-E-S

"Y-E-S spells yes."

Nat smiled as the old computer started to cranks up

"Shall we play a game?" Nat asked, deepening her voice

Clint and Rose chuckled while Steve remained stoic.

"It's from a movie that..." Clint started explaining but Steve cut him off

"Yeah, I saw it," Steve replied

Suddenly they heard an accented and robotic voice speak, "Rogers, Steven Grant. Born, 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Born, 1928. Barton, Clinton Francis. Born, 1974. Stark, Rosalie Genevieve. Born, 1990."

Rose peeked from behind when the computer took her name, then looked at others, confused.

An old camera was moving above them, at 360 degrees, analyzing them.

"It's some kind of a recording," Nat muttered

"I am not a recording, Fräulein. I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me prisoner, in 1945, but I am."

Rose walked in front to join the others. On the screen was an old photo of a stout man in glasses.

"Do you know this thing?" Nat asked

"Arnim Zola," Rose replied before she looked at Natasha, "You've seen War Games, but you haven't seen Captain America movies. Shame on you, Nat"

"Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years." Steve answered

"The first correction, I am Swiss. Second, look around you. I have never been more alive. In 1972 I received a terminal diagnosis. Science could not save my body, my mind, however, that was worth saving on two hundred thousand feet of data banks. You are standing in my brain."

"This is way creepier than I thought," Rose mock-gagged

"How did you get here?" Steve asked

"Invited."

"It was Operation Paperclip after World War II. SHIELD recruited German scientists with strategic value." Nat answered

"They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own." Zola added

"HYDRA died with the Red Skull," Steve noted and Rose felt like slapping her forehead. She had already established that HYDRA was very alive. Why was Steve still in denial?

"Cut off one head, two more shall take its place," Zola replied

"How can we believe that you are telling the truth?" Clint folded his arms

"Prove it," Steve added

"Accessing archive."

The computer screen showed them old footage of Johann Schmidt/Red Skull, of how the original SHIELD was found,

"HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize, was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, SHIELD was founded and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside SHIELD. For seventy years HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed."

"That's impossible, SHIELD would have stopped you," Nat replied

"Accidents will happen."

Rose froze. Her breath hitched and pretty sure she had stopped breathing.

On the screen was Winter soldier, his metal arm very visible. And it was footage of him murdering Howard and Maria Stark and making it seem like a car accident. He literally strangled Howard and Maria, placed their bodies inside the car, and let it burn.

Followed by the recent assassination of Fury.

"No," Rose whispered, "You are lying"

"I'm a brilliant scientist mind inside a computer, Fräulein. I do not need to lie" Zola replied, "HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's new world order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your Life; a zero-sum."

Rose still couldn't believe it. Pretty much whatever was said or showed after 'HYDRA and Winter Soldier murdered Howard and Maria Stark' just didn't get to her. Her breath shortened as the news started settling in.

Clint jumped, startled when he heard a loud sound. He turned to see Steve had smashed the computer. that sudden reaction had startled Nat as well, but not Rose. Rose still looked shaken, her lower lip slightly trembling, and miles away.

"As I was saying..."

"What's on this drive?" Steve demanded

"Project Insight requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm."

"What kind of algorithm? What does it do?" Natasha asked

"The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it."

There was some creaking and Clint, Steve, and Nat looked to see the door they came from closing. Steve threw his shield as a way to stop the doors but it was in vain.

Clint looked at Rose who didn't look any better than she had 5 minutes ago. He kept a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"Rose! Snap out of it!"

She looked at him and sniffed once. She quickly ran her hands over her face and looked at Steve and Nat.

"He was stalling," she muttered, no emotion in her voice

"Yeah," Clint nodded

"We got a bogey. Short-range ballistic. 30 seconds tops."

"Who fired it?" Steve asked

"S.H.I.E.L.D," Nat replied, looking at them

"Grab your shield," She looked at Steve, who did it without any question. She reached and pulled out NYX's drive before looking at the main computer.

"Fuck you and your Nazi ways," And then punched the screen once. The entire screen shattered as her hand with elbow deep into the system

She took out her hand which was glowing a little and had slight cuts and blood oozing out. She pocketed her drive and held out her other hand.

"We don't have time. It'll be a little uncomfortable."

The other three quickly grabbed her hand and once she was sure they all were held on, she apparated.


They appeared right beside their car. Clint quickly got away, went to the bushes, and heaved out.

Nat winced, "You okay, Clint?"

"Give me a second"

Nat then turned her attention to the witch, "Rose?"

"It wasn't an accident," She muttered, "Howard and Grandma didn't die in an accident," she looked at her, green eyes turning red at the rims with unshed tears, "They were murdered."

"Rose, is th-"

She sniffed once, loudly and ran a hand over her face.

"They were murdered. Winter soldier killed them," her voice almost broke as she realized what she had actually said; as she realized the truth.

"I'm sorry," Nat reached and wrapped the girl in a hug, something she returned. She held her close and tight. She looked as Clint made his way back to them.

"It's gonna be alright. We're here for you"

As soon as Nat pulled, Clint grabbed her in a hug, rubbing her back, "I'm so sorry you have to find out this way,"

"Doesn't matter," Rose took a deep breath and pulled looking at the trio before her eyes settled at Steve, "I really don't care who's part of HYDRA now. It's going down in flames."

She took a deep breath, "Let's leave before someone decides to come and check up here."

The four quickly piled in the car, with Nat into the driver's seat, and drove off.

Before Steve could say anything, Rose's phone rang.

She pulled it, "It's Ginny" and she answered it, "Yeah Gin?"

She blinked twice before putting it on speaker, "Run that again?"

"There are people here in black gear with guns and stuff, trying to get in."

"SHIELD?" Nat asked,

"We guess." Ginny replied, "How did they know about this place?"

"Were you two followed?" Clint looked at Nat and Steve

"No. We were careful." Steve replied

"Fury." Rose sighed

"what?"

"I gave the address of that place to Nick. It was supposed to be just-in-case. He must have put it down in my file or something," Rose answered

"Just in case of what?" Clint asked

"Just in case his wife kicked him out," Rose replied

"He's married?" Nat asked

Rose chuckled humorlessly, "That's a running gag between me, dad, and Nick." she sighed, running her fingers through her hair, "You guys would be fine, right?"

"If the wards of this place are as strong as they are complex, we'll be fine inside. I called just to let you know"

"Thanks, Gin" Rose smiled, "Could you send those chips with one of the birds?"

"Right away," Ginny replied, "and hey, Rose? Take care. Please."

"Mm-hmm"

"Good. All the best, guys." and she hung up

"We can't go back there," Clint folded his arms, "Place's compromised"

"They would have sicced the Winter Soldier on us by now. We also need an extra to help us. Someone who isn't on SHIELD's radar at all."

There was a brief silence. Rose considered asking Ginny or Luan but she had already paid some heavy price so far while dealing with HYDRA. She wasn't going to lose anymore and not to some trash terrorist organization like HYDRA.

"I know someone who can help," Steve said


Not much to say here. Hope you like it. Stay tuned. And you know the drill.
