The howling commandos were up in the mountains, they were waiting for the train that Arnim Zola was on. Elizabeth was standing next to her uncle and on her other side was Alexandria, just behind them was Bucky, James, and Lauren. Behind the three of them were the rest of the howling commandos, in many ways it seemed hard to believe that for the last year Elizabeth had been commanding the howling commandos alongside her uncle. She knows that two years ago that neither one would thought this would happen to them. She knows her uncle didn't expect to become Captain America, one of the hopes of winning the war. Elizabeth didn't expect to become Lieutenant America either, however that was her uncle's doing though. She had ask him of why he had decided to name her Lieutenant America when they were freeing the prisoners from the first HYDRA base that they had been on. Her uncle had told that he didn't want to put her into more danger than she was at the point in time.
Even though Elizabeth was there by choice, he didn't want to risk her getting captured or his enemies find out about her being a demigod and have powers of two god or goddess in Elizabeth's case. Not only that but he didn't want the enemy to have a leverage to capture him or use against him. He also said there was another reason but he never told her of what that reason was though. Elizabeth couldn't blame her uncle for that, there had been times when she had be close of being captured by she used her control over fire and plants to get away. Thankfully she could use her demigod powers to fight as Lieutenant America just like James and Lauren used their demigod powers to fight in the war. She had a feeling that the red skull may want to use her and would try to do that if he knows of her demigod powers. She figured that he knows about it since it was HYDRA soldiers that tried to capture her. From the one time she meet him and from what her uncle had told her of what he knows that he try to gain the power of the gods.
Elizabeth was one of his targets that has to be kept alive, instead of whatever else he had in mind for everyone else. Soon enough the train had entered their view and with their timing that Elizabeth, her uncle, Bucky, James and Lauren got onto the train. Elizabeth, her uncle and Bucky had went into one of the train cars, when Elizabeth and her uncle went into a different car that the doors had closed and one of the HYDRA soldiers and appeared. Her uncle used his shield while Elizabeth had used her demigod powers to fight the HYDRA soldier. They managed to knock the one solider out, than they went to help Bucky with the other soldier and it was her uncle who knocked out the other solider and they shot at the one soldier. However the other soldier had manage to get on his feet and shot at them, Elizabeth was behind her uncle when the solider had shot at the her uncle of used his shield. Elizabeth was knocked up against one wall and her uncle was knocked up against the wall besides her for the blast.
That blast had created a big hole in the train car that the three of them were currently in. Elizabeth and her uncle manage to get up as Bucky used the shield and shot at the solider. The soldier had shot at Bucky but it hit the shield and it knocked Bucky off of his feet and though the hole. Her uncle managed to use his shield to knock the soldier off hai feet once more, Elizabeth was about ready to climb out to help Bucky. But her uncle had pulled her away and gave her a look telling her would do it instead, Elizabeth remained in the car and watched as Bucky tried to grab onto her uncle's hand but the bar he was holding onto broke off. Bucky started to fall fast, Elizabeth had used the poppy and made it grow at a fast rate to grab Bucky. But Bucky was moving too fast, not only that but she was tired from using her powers earlier. Besides she was not as strong in her powers as she hope she would be and there was so much wind that she couldn't direct the poppy very well.
She had to stop growing the poppy and let it go back on the hair clip and watch Bucky fall to his death. Her uncle was still hanging on the part of the train that was hanging out and he was looking at where Bucky had been falling not a few moments before. Elizabeth had put her hand over her uncle's hand and he had looked at her before he went back into the car and hugged her as Elizabeth started crippling in his chest. As she cried her uncle hold her closer telling her it wasn't her fault and she did everything she could to help Bucky. But she wish that she was stronger with her powers had a few more years of practice under her belt. Otherwise she would be able to help and save Bucky, she wasn't even sure that the poppy was strong enough to hold Bucky's weight. Than and there that Elizabeth promised herself that she would practice her powers even more to make sure no one else would meet the same ending as Bucky.
After Elizabeth and her uncle manage to collect themselves that they went to the engine car of where Arnim Zola was at. James and Lauren were there holding their guns at him, when Elizabeth and her uncle and entered the engine car that James and Lauren looked back at Elizabeth and her uncle. They both had a questioning look on their faces, Elizabeth know that they were wondering of where Bucky was, when Elizabeth lowered her head that James and Lauren knew that Bucky had died. However they didn't say anything, instead they took Arnim Zola as a prisoner and headed back to the base in New York City. When they reached New York that Colonel Phillips was the one to question Arnim Zola, when he left the room of where Arnim Zola was that Colonel Phillips had told them of where the last HYDRA base was.
A week later that they were close to the last HYDRA base, Elizabeth had wanted to go with her uncle to knock in he front door. But her uncle had refused to let her, she knows that he has four reasons of why he didn't want her to join him. One he didn't want to risk her life even more than she was at the moment or any time in the last year. For this mission was the most dangerous one of the missions they had so far, Elizabeth knows that for this base would have more soldiers in it than the others. Two because the red skull may try to take Elizabeth with him if the red skull flees from the base. Three because this was his fight with the red skull and not her fight for if she was fighting the red skull than it wouldn't be equal ground. Four because the red skull would want to use her powers against her uncle, however there was no way that the red skull would be able to use her powers against anyone. Not unless if he had some sort of mind control, but that would still be tough for the red skull to do.
Her uncle had gave the signal after a few minutes and Elizabeth had went onto the base along with Agent Carter, Colonel Phillips and half of the howling commandos. Some of the howling commandos included their mascot, Alexandria as well as James and Lauren. The other half was lead by one of the other commandos in another area close to where the command center was on the base. When one the HYDRA soldiers had saw them that he shouted the same as the rest of the soldiers did when they entered a fight. "Cut off one head, another two shall . . ." The soldier didn't even finished saying that common saying for HYDRA when Colonel Phillips had fired at the HYDRA solider and the HYDRA soldier had exploded into a million pieces. At least that is what it seemed to look like to Elizabeth, Colonel Phillips had spoke up.
"Let's go find two more!" Elizabeth had shook her head and smiled when Colonel Phillips, he was about the only man that she knows that would do something like that. During the fighting on the base that Elizabeth had went into a different direction with Agent Carter and Colonel Phillips than James and Lauren. Alexandria was running along side Elizabeth as usual, many had ask of she manage to train the wolf. She told had told them the truth, that she didn't train Alexandria at all thought there are some who still don't believe that fact. That Alexandria just follows Elizabeth around and protects when it can as well as to try to protect all the howling commandos. She couldn't explain of why Alexandria seem so tame and yet not so take at times, for Alexandria was fighting she fights like how one would expect of how a wolf fights.
After a while she had reached the hanger as well as a good amount of the howling commandos. She had looked around and notice James not to far away fighting like a maniac, but she couldn't see Lauren. Elizabeth had figured that Lauren was fighting elsewhere in the HYDRA base and merely shrugged it off. Elizabeth had notice that a plane was taking off and that Colonel Phillips had got into a car as Agent Carter. Elizabeth had climbed into the back along with Agent Carter while her uncle got into the front seat. As they got closer to the plane that her uncle had told Colonel Phillips to keep the car steady. When her uncle was close of climbing out that Agent Carter had spoke up causing her uncle to look over at Agent Carter.
"Wait!" Agent Carter had took hold of one of her uncle's straps and pulled him towards her and she kissed him. Than Agent Carter had pulled away. "Go get him." Elizabeth was close of laughing at the look of surprise on her uncle's face and he looked over at Colonel Phillips. Colonel Phillips had glanced at her uncle before he had spoke.
"I'm not kissing you."
Elizabeth had to cover her mouth from laughing out loud, for she was close of danger zone of laughing. She wished that she had a camera just to record this moment and watch is whenever she wants to just for laughs. However her uncle and got out of the car and went to the very front of the car and he had to duck once. Than her uncle had jumped and he colonel had to turn the car sideways in order to stop the car in time. Elizabeth watched as the plane flew away from the base, Elizabeth had than climbed out and joined the fighting once more. Of which didn't take long, they had manage to gain control over the base, the only thing they need to know now was if her uncle had killed the red skull.
