Chapter 41-Arrival
Third Person:
Beni, Bucky, Steve, and Sam were instantly to their feet wen the intercom above them clicked on.
"Suit up, we're jumping out. The plane will be on autopilot and in camouflage mode waiting for us when we're done here. I'll meet you in the cargo hold where we'll be jumping."
They all looked at each other before all simultaneously deciding to go to the back like Widow had said. When they got there they only ad to wait about 3 minute before Natasha was joining them.
"Parachutes are on this wall," she said, grabbing on for herself. But there was a problem. Thee were only three chutes.
"Uh, we're going to need more," Bucky said as he strapped one of the three. Steve had the third on, and Falcon didn't need one because he had his wings. Beni held up her hand.
"No need. I'll just glide down," she said.
"How? With what?" Sam asked.
"Ever here of the Draco sumatranus?"
"English, please," Bucky said. She gave him a sigh, reminding herself that not everyone studied lizards.
"Gliding lizard. I made these clothes just so I could do that. All I have to do it stretch my skin and-"
"-I didn't need that in my head," Sam said, putting his hand up and shaking his head. Steve slammed on the button on open the hatch with his fist, and they were met with the warm air of Afghanistan, where the base was located. Neither Beni or Sam thought they would ever be here again, and the fact that it was almost welcoming was uncomfortable to both of them. But, like old times, Sam and Beni nodded to each other before running and jumping out of the plane.
"Has Beni ever tried to glide before?" Steve asked Bucky.
"No, but she tried jumping off the roof a couple times so she could see if she could do it," he replied, still looking outside. "And if she can't do it then Sam's there with his bird wings."
"You boys going to keep talking or are you gonna grow a pair and jump," Natasha teased, walking out of the plane as if she was walking down the sidewalk. Bucky raised an eyebrow at Steve, but nonetheless just shrugged and jumped out.
The wind felt good on all of them. It was familiar, and the rush was enough t make anyone grin. But none of them were as happy as Beni. Feeling the wind on those exposed flaps of skin felt way better than she thought it would as she dodged bullets as well as Sam was. Bucky saw her twist in the air in certain ways, and some of the shooting stopped as guys fell from the ground. Sam was just getting his guns out, and Beni couldn't shoot. He knew for a fact it wasn't him or Nat, and Steve couldn't aim worth crap. So he had no idea who it was. But at the same time Bucky didn't really have time to think about it as he pulled the strings on his chute and lurched upwards.
At this point Sam and Beni were on the ground now, taking down bad guys like none of them had ever seen. They worked side by side, sometimes shooting at the same time they punched or kicked. And with Beni's enhanced speed it made it even better to watch as he and Natasha shot the snipers that Sam and Beni didn't see.
When they made it closer to the ground, more than a few people either had bullet holes in their heads or spikes in their throats. Bucky raised an eyebrow at Beni, who just shrugged and gestured to her tail.
"Hey, they shot first. What did you think all the twisting was for?" She said with a smirk. She high fived Sam and the rest of them shed their chutes. Beni shot Bucky a lopsided grin, and Bucky just rolled his eyes. He wasn't sure whether or not he should be worried about being back on the field and killing people with spikes from the end of her tail. Natasha pocketed a few of the bloodied spikes and shrugged.
"They could be useful later," she said.
Natasha led them into a rather large room that was filled to the brim with explosives, food, clothes, and other things that might be useful to the HYDRA troops that stayed here.
"I thought HYDRA was in the ditch like S.H.I.E.L.D." Steve said to Natasha as he unhooked his shield from his back and placed it on his left arm. Bucky flanked his right, Beni his left, and Sam directly behind him. Natasha was in front of him, as they were all following her. Beni had a pistol in one hand and a very big knife from her boot in the other. Bucky had a rifle. Sam had his two pistols.
"HYDRA is still loyal, even if there isn't an actual head anymore," Widow explained. Cap nodded and put on a straight face, getting even more tense than he was when he jumped out of the plane. He was in his mission mode.
"I have a question. We have a clear objective," Beni said, almost to quiet for anyone to hear, "But do we actually have a plan to go with that objective? If not then I think I have one..."
"Wasn't really worried about a plan. I never am," Natasha said, stopping and turning around to look at Beni. "What's yours?"
"Well, we're going to be asking the place down, right? But we can't just go in and shoot people half-cocked without a plan. That doesn't make a team. And with all of the supplies in this room we could."
"Oh no," Sam said."
"To bad, Sam. You know it would help. So you guys go and defeat the boss, while I stay here and make things that go boom to bring down the castle."
"What if you get attacked, or caught?" Bucky said, giving Beni a pointed look.
"One, I have lizard powers. Two, look around. All the guys we fought outside were in this room, and more are probably on their way, meaning even if I did go with you, then we would be facing them eventually either way. They stopped moving stuff. That crane still has a box in its claw. That forklift still has weaponry. Those aren't the kind of things you leave like that. Now go, I'll start making the bombs."
"You were hanging out with Tammy to much," Sam muttered under his breath. Then he sighed. "She's not going to back out of that idea, and she's the most qualified person to do so. Watching our backs both with bombs and watching the front doors."
"Alright," Natasha said after a minute's thought. "Don't get killed. Let's go," she waved over her shoulder and Sam and Steve followed. They were all surprised Steve wasn't the one to oppose the idea, but that was also probably because he was a tiny bit afraid of Beni and her pranks, so no one really blamed him. Bucky lingered around for a few moments before nodding at Beni, who nodded back. It was a silent promise. Beni wouldn't die and in return Bucky would give them all hell to pay.
It didn't take long before they were all gone, and Beni was left to take the bombs, and to take down a place this big, they were going to need a lot. Bucky would probably plant some grenades here and there, but all of Beni's explosives would cause a chain reaction through all of the other chemicals and weaponry in the base.
By the time she had planted her seventh bomb, it was around three in the morning, and the others still weren't back yet. But Bucky kept her updated. They were taking down troops, trying to find the main control where the boss level would be. She didn't pressure them.
Part of Beni chose to stay because she could make bombs so they could all make a kickass getaway. The other was because she didn't trust her emotions if they ever came across Cain. She just had to many grudges for that guy, and it would be better if one of the others put a bullet in his brain over her. She would probably get some sick satisfaction out of it that she wouldn't want.
"Ah, I see the serum worked. It's good to see you again, Beni."
Beni's blood froze (Heh, coldblooded joke...) as she hopped off the wall she stuck herself to and landed a few feet away from who said it. She snarled and her claws extended slightly.
"Cain."
