In a very anticlimactic turn of events, Fury turned out to be in a meeting when we returned. This led to me, Black Widow, Captain America, and The Falcon standing in a hallway for about forty minutes. Yeah, I know, thrilling.

Finally when we were allowed in I think Fury was ready to murder us. I have no clue what the meeting was about but by the look on his face when Steve entered all, I have something to tell you and it's the most important thing for you right now, I don't think the meeting had gone well.

"What it is that made all of you come up to my office, I hope it's important" Fury stared Steve down daring him to say anything less than the worlds on fire.

"We, or Allison, have somethings to inform you about, they are quite important" As much as I wanted Steve to do all the talking, I know that Fury isn't an easy person to convince and I really didn't want Steve to start saying anything while we were still at S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Director Fury sir, I've told them what I told you earlier and also more. I think this office is a little small for all of us to have this conversation in here. Is there anywhere outside of S.H.I.E.L.D that we could go to have this conversation, I just know this isn't the right place to have it." Please understand what I'm trying to hint at..

"Ok, follow me."

Apparently, "follow me" meant us all going through a door in the back of his office that led down to the street and then getting into a black probably all weaponized and tricked out car. Thank goodness the car had three rows of seats because it meant we weren't all squished up against each other. Fury drove while somehow I ended up in the passenger seat while Nat, Steve, and Sam went in the back. I've never really liked the passenger seat and having Fury be the driver while literal superheros were behind me didn't help at all. Most of the ride we sat in silence until Sam spoke up.

"So, where are we going"

"Somewhere we won't be overheard" came Fury's answer singlaning the end of the short lived conversation.

Once we arrived at the location, I think it was that base that they eventually went to in Winter Soldier and found out Fury was alive but I don't really know, I followed them all inside this very military looking elevator that brought us down to an underground base of sorts.

"So, is this the right place for our conversation? " Fury looked at me.

"I hope so"

We found a conference room type table and once everyone had pulled up chairs they just looked at me. It scared me for a second until I realized I was essentially the person who brought them here.

"The reason I wanted us to come here is because S.H.I.E.L.D is no longer, and hasn't been for a long long while, a safe place. Hydra is in S.H.I.E.L.D. They have people in all levels of the program, the ones I know for sure are Agent Rumlow and the S.T.R.I.K.E team, Jasper Sitwell, and Alexander Pierce. Project insight has been influenced by them and currently there program in those helicarriers that was created by the remaining consciousness of Doctor Zola and Pierce. We'll get to him later. Basically the program uses information on everyone in the world and uses it to predict the future of those people. If it thinks that any person would be a hindrance or could stop Hydras agenda, currently or in the future they will target and kill them instantly. Adults, children, anyone. Zola was recruited to a division of scientists that were a part of S.H.I.E.L.D when it was created. He recruited or convinced others and since S.H.I.E.L.D's inception hydra has been like a virus on the inside. Currently at the army base where Steve was trained is the mind of Zola saved on thousands of hard drives."

"Well, that is important. So what do we do now."

"Obviously we need to stop the helicarriers from being launched" said Steve

"Yes, there's also another thing. Are you familiar with the Winter Soldier."

"I've heard of him, but there is no proof that he's real" said Fury

"Well he is real because he's what's currently left of howling commando James Buchanan Barnes. After he fell during the war, Hydra took him and they've been modifying him and basically brainwashing him by tourtre and removing all of his memories. He has been injected with some version of the super soldier serum and he also has a mechanical arm so getting to him won't be easy but he is in there somewhere. The longer he is out of the cryo sleep they put him in the more likely that he will start to remember things. Barnes is and has been the longest prisoner of war in our nation's history, the Winter Soldier and James Barnes are not the same people they just share the same body. Because of that I really want to emphasize the fact that we are not going to kill him even though he may want to kill us."

"Well then, we need to create a plan."

I swear to god why does Fury just alway talk like that and point out the obvious. Like yes we need to create a plan, no shit.

"I propose that we divide up to take out project insight and then come together to find Bucky." Steve still looked a little lost every time he said Bucky's name.

Over the next what seemed like hours Steve, Nat, Sam, and Fury came up with a plan to override project insight's system and prevent the helicarriers from launching, and also alerting the people in S.H.I.E.L.D to hydra's influence. Thankfully because I was a sixteen year old with no powers or training whatsoever I was left to stay in Fury's car with Maria Hill and wait for them to return so that we could go off and find Bucky. Bucky was going to be difficult. First we didn't know where he was, all I was hoping is that either Sitwell, Rumlow or Pierce would know and tell us where he is. Sitwell I think would be the easiest to threaten and give in but I wasn't sure if he actually knew where they kept Bucky. Rumlow and Pierce definitely knew but they seemed like they would die without talking. Eventually Nat decided that they were going to try all three and she was going to head that part of the mission. Furry called up Maria Hill a couple times to alert her to the situation and get her on board with the mission. Finally after Steve and Fury had argued about the specifics of how to tell S.H.I.E.L.D half a dozen times we had a plan. Of course the Bucky half was a lot more vague but nonetheless it was a plan.

An hour later Maria arrived and we split up. Steve, Sam and Natasha were going to go in one car while Fury, Maria, and I went in another. The drive back to S.H.I.E.L.D was even more awkward than the drive down, if that was possible. I wanted so despretly to fall alseep becuase my body was really not likeling that I had even left that hospital bed, but my brain was simultaneously telling me that what the fuck was I crazy, I couldn't fall asleep now we were about to do a mission and this could possibly be dangrous also like why the hell did I think it was a good idea to fall alseep in a car with Nick Fury and Maria Hill, like damn sometime my stupididy really just shows itself. This left me to the happy middle ground of pinching my thigh every couple minutes and aggressively staring out the window trying to stay awake.

Once we arrived back in DC, Maria dropped Fury off a couple blocks away from S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters and we parked on a side street.

"How are you doing back there" Maria turned around to face me,

"A little tired from this morning but overall not bad, I don't know how much of my story you've heard but this whole thing is still really trippy"

"Hey, from what I've heard you traveled a long way so I think you get the right to be freaked out."

"I guess, I mean my best friend and I have watched movies about you guys for the past ten years and where I come from none of this is real, it's just a story so you think about it differently. Like in a movie not everything will go right and what makes a good movie and especially a whole franchise is the fact that not everything works out, characters go through major ups and downs, some even die. You also want a good villain because it makes the story better and more interesting to watch. But this is real now, these are real people and there are real consequences, it doesn't matter about the story now. I also can't really help, I'm just a kid who doesn't belong here."

"Wow, that's a lot. I of course have no idea what it must be like to know the future but if it helps at all, these people, the avengers, all these superheroes, they're celebrities in our world as well. The first time that Tony Stark came to S.H.I.E.L.D it was crazy, because here was Iron Man, he flew around in a metal suit, like that was crazy."

"Thanks, that actually helped a lot" It was nice having someone reassure you that you weren't crazy, the more time I spent in this universe the more I felt like some invasive creature, I wasn't a character here and here I was just trying to change and fix things left and right without knowing if they would work out in the long run.

About half an hour had passed before I heard gunshots from far away. I tensed up at the sound, obviously Maria was used to it and showed no sign of surprise but then again she knew how to use a gun and has used one many times before.

"They're going to be fine you know"

How could she be so sure of that, there were loads of hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D and we had already changed things from the original timeline, I wasn't sure what would happen. I was pretty sure that Steve was going to be fine but Sam and Nat were just human, no genetic enhancements. Yes they were incredibly talented and trained but also bullets are bullets.

It was about another hour until we heard something from any of them over the coms.

"This is Steve, all helicarriers have been changed, the chips have been replaced. Rumlow has not been found. Fury is on Peirce and we are about to find Sitwell, how's everything going outside"

"Nothing has come in contact with us, keep the updates and meet back when your done", she turned to me "Well that's good news, besides Rumlow I guess"

"Yeah" I wish I could say something smarter sounding but I had just received mission updates from Captain America and Maria Hill was reassuring me so hopefully you can sympathize with my lack of full mental capacity at the moment. Things were still crazy even when I was just sitting in a car playing piano tiles on my phone.
