Chapter 42-Not Sure if Complication or just Annoying
Third Person:
Bucky and the others couldn't help but be a little worried about Beni, but she gave them all time to do their thing, as well as updates on how many bombs she's stuck in place.
"Wow, she's kind of fast," Natasha said after the fourth one was planted. Sam just sighed.
"This isn't the first time we've done a plan like this," he said. "We spent to tours together. Us two and Riley used to go on missions like these all the times. She didn't have any wings, but she didn't really need them either. Then I left and Beni got accepted into the Howling Commandos. A special ops team that's saved countless lives on countless rescue missions, where I imagine she used her pyro skills half the time."
"Is that why you were so okay with her doing this alone?" Steve asked, a slight edge to his voice as he carefully looked around the corner. Sam just nodded.
"You never mentioned her like you did Riley."
"That's 'cause Riley was my partner."
"Then who was hers?" Bucky asked.
"Cain was, actually," Sam sighed. "Though they didn't like each other very much, and Cain could be a hot head sometimes. Always thought of himself before his team. They butted heads so many time it was pretty much normal. After a while Beni decided she wasn't going to try to be the adult in the situation anymore."
"When was that?"
"After Cain's stupid choices nearly killed a whole church of nuns and shit. Oh, she roughed him up pretty bad. Cain could barely stand a normal fight with Beni, but now? I hope she beats his scrawny ass into the ground."
Bucky's grip on his rifle tightened. Just hearing this made him want to beat Cain's scrawny ass into the ground, but worse. But he imagined that Beni would do that when she got the chance. Without really thinking, he checked a random door, only to find the security room. It was completely empty, so he walked right in. He glanced at the screen for the room Beni should be in, and is eyes widened in anger at what he saw.
"Is that Cain?" he asked Sam.
"Yeah, that's him," Sam growled. He had a mess of black hair and a perfect row of teeth. Sam had been right about the scrawny part. He was a twig with abs and muscles, and his size gave him more speed than most. As he tried punching Beni he realized that his fighting was perfect. He had no openings, and every move that Beni threw was blocked. When Beni finally managed to claw him, he smirked in satisfaction, and watched as Beni started beating the shit out of Cain, completely ignoring her bloody nose, and judging by her movements, possibly bruised rib.
"Come on," Widow said. she was standing by the door, watching the screens with them. "I think I finally found the control room."
The others quickly followed her out.
Beni:
I grunted with effort as I twisted Cain's wrist behind his back and heard the familiar sound of bones cracking. He bit back a scream and I kicked him forward and onto the ground.
"What are you playing at?" I growled. "What's your big master plan?"
"Maybe if you joined HDRA," he said, wiping away some blood that was on his chin, "We would tell you."
I glared daggers at him and pressed a boot to his chest, sending him back to the ground. Then I grabbed one of my guns and pointed it in between my eyes. My left hand went to my com.
"Tell me, Cain," I said my, voice had the sharpest edge to it. I knelt down and pressed my gun barrel against his face, right in between his eyes above the bridge of his nose. "You have two minutes. If you cooperate."
"F-fine!" he said, shivering slightly as he looked cross-eyed at my gun. "I'll tell you." He gulped once. Twice. I pressed the barrel a little bit and he whimpered.
"World War III," he said. "With rockets towards Russia with the U.S. emblem and toward the States with the Union's? The world will be chaos. HYDRA will take control through the chaos. They'll see our side, they'll see that anyone who doesn't agree wants chaos."
I narrowed my eyes at him and tilted my head to the side slightly.
"Serum in my blood was planned, by the way. Did you get all that?"
"Copy," Bucky grunted. I heard shots ring out and couldn't help but smirk as there were screams, silence, and relieved sighs from my team.
"I st-still remember giving you the offer, and I know that you remember, Beni," Cain stuttered, one hand creeping towards his left leg for his knife. He was going to try and stab me in the leg. I knew because had seen him do it when pinned like this several times. My boot pressed into his chest and he grunted in pain. "Despite..." he was having trouble breathing now. "...Despite everything the offer still stands. You can still be a member of HYDRA. All you have to do is say yes and kill your team."
"I've got a better idea," I snarled.
"Oh yeah?"
My finger found its spot in the trigger, and I was about to pull it, but his knife came up and went straight for my leg. I didn't flinch as the metal hit metal. The dumbass forgot which leg he had his men cut off. The blade skittered across the floor, and Cain paled a great amount.
"Yeah," I said, my voice never wavering. "After all, sending you back to hell will be my greatest idea yet."
I barely heard the gunshot through the blood rushing through my ears. I stood up, taking my boot off of his limp body.
"Status?" I said into my com.
"Crisis averted, but now we gotta head back. Keep making bombs, Beni, it might be a while," Sam said. I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me and took my finger away from the com. I sighed.
"Some sick satisfaction," I said as I grabbed a few wires. "Not even close."
