CHAPTER 5
Indonesia - 12:35 a.m.
Tony, Thor and Bruce are hiding behind a tree line right before the dock. There are several soldiers walking around and a lot of workers on the dock. A crane is loading the containers to the ship. There are two towers on each side, with moving lights and anti-air guns.
Tony, already is his Iron Man suit, turns to Thor and says: "You and I are going to take down those towers first to avoid the heavy artillery." He then turns to Bruce: "When you unleash the beast, try to clear the way to the crane and smash that thing." He then turns on his communication device and talks to Steve: "Hey Capsicle, we are ready when you are."
Steve and Natasha are on the other side of the area, hiding behind some rocks, near the pathway that leads to the backdoor of the big gray building in front of them. Steve hears Tony and takes his wrist close to his mouth to talk on his com with Clint: "Okay, they are in position. Are you ready Barton?"
Clint is just finishing climbing a rocky hill. Up there he has a panoramic view of the HYDRA´s facilities and it is within his range to cover Steve and Natasha on the back of the building. "I´m in place Cap." He answers inspecting the area, every soldier round was running as he had expected.
Steve looks at Natasha to see if she is ready, she only nods at him and then he talks on his com again: "Okay Stark, we are good to go."
Tony looks at Thor and Bruce: "Let´s start the show!" He flies out with Thor right behind him.
Bruce walks out from behind the tree turning into the Hulk, who smashes his fists on the floor with a roar and starts to runs.
The alarm goes off as soon as they spot Iron Man and Thor flying. The soldiers start to get into combat positions. Iron Man, shoots small missiles at the first tower before they can react to the sudden attack and the tower blows up in flames.
Thor heads for the other and hits the base of the tower with his lighting, breaking the wooden pillars that support it. Soldiers on the ground try to run out of the way as the tower starts to fall down, some not making it and getting crushed.
The Hulk punches a few soldiers out of his way, some of them start to shoot at him with machine guns, but it only makes him angry. He grabs a nearby container and throws it at the soldiers that are shooting at him, crushing them and clearing his path. He gets to the crane and starts smashing it down.
Steve and Natasha hear the alarm and see several soldiers who are nearby running towards the dock. Now only three stay behind, with their back at them, watching the others soldiers passing by.
Steve looks at Natasha and whispers: "Now!" She nods and they leave their hiding place.
The Black Widow grabs the nearest soldier wrapping her legs around his torso and shocking him on the neck with her Widows Bite, he falls unconscious.
Hearing the sound from the soldier falling behind them, the other two turn around only to see Captain America´s shield flying toward them, it hits one on his head, knocking him out.
The other soldier was about to shout when an arrow came flying from above, hitting him right on his chest. He is dead.
Another arrow comes flying and hits the camera above the metal door as Natasha and Steve stand in front of it. Natasha types the password Clint gave her on the lock. It beeps and a green light appears. The door unlocks, they walk into a narrow hallway. Steve throws his shield at a camera up ahead; it breaks the camera and bounces off the wall returning in his hand.
Natasha had studied the layout and knows where to go, she whispers to Steve: "The computer room is on the fifth floor, follow me." She silently walks ahead. They reach the end of the hallway, Natasha takes a peek and seeing the way is clear, she moves her hand for Steve to follow her. They turn right into a larger hallway and go to an iron door that leads to the staircase. They run up stairs.
Natasha was about to open the iron door from the fifth floor, when Steve grabs her arm and pulls her back: "Wait, I hear someone coming!"
They lean back against the wall behind the door. Steve overhears two men talking in German about the operation being compromised and getting away on a helicopter. The voices fade as they walk away. Steve then nods at Natasha and heads to the door opening it for her.
Natasha walks out, carefully looking around for any threats and leads the way to the computer room. Once inside, she goes to the computer and inserts a pen drive. She starts typing really fast as she speaks: "We should have about seven minutes before they detect that I'm hacking the system."
Steve stands by the closed door to hear if someone is coming. He watches Natasha´s eyes locked on the computer screen as she types. He can hear the noise of explosions coming from outside. He raises his wrist to talk into his com: "We´re hacking the system, how is it going out there?"
Tony answers almost shouting: "You´re missing the fireworks Cap! We just started to blow up the ship!"
Then Clint speaks in a lower voice: "I´m making my way to the oil tanks."
He puts his wrist down, glances at the clock on the wall and says: "Three minutes Tasha!"
She doesn't take her eyes from the screen as she answers: "Almost done...got it!" But when she is about to remove the pen drive, she freezes because she sees a file with the name: Winter Soldier. She starts typing again.
Steve furrows his brown noticing that Natasha moves her hands to the keyboard again. He glances at the clock, their time is almost up: "Natasha, what are you doing, we gotta go now!"
Natasha keeps typing, so Steve walks to her side grabbing her arm: "Natasha!" He stares at the screen and realizes what she is doing, she is hacking a file on the Winter Soldier. Steve hears footsteps down the hall. He looks at the door and says: "Tasha, let it go. It´s not worth it!"
Natasha is typing furiously and doesn´t even answer Steve.
The door starts to opens and Steve pulls Natasha down to duck under the desk. She looks at him with a pain expression on her face. He lets go of her arm, realizing now that he was squeezing it too hard.
Natasha whispers: "I just need to press enter!"
Steve shakes his head at her, he hears someone walking around the room.
Natasha can't let it go, so she stretches her arm up and starts to feel the keyboard for the enter key. She finds it and presses it.
Steve stares at her in disbelieve because she has such hard time taking orders from him.
The computer starts to load the file as the soldiers are walking around the room. They start to head out, when the computer makes a beep sound. The file is loaded and the soldiers come back inside.
Steve gives an angry look to Natasha. She mouths the word "Sorry" to him and seeing no other way out, she rises with her gun at her hand, loudly shooting the two soldiers down.
Steve stands up taking a deep breath and looking at the dead soldiers on the floor. The alarm of the building goes off. Steve glares displeased with the spy beside him and shouts: "What the hell Natasha, I told you we had to go!"
Natasha knows she messed up and it pains her to see how Steve is looking at her right now, but she couldn't miss the opportunity. She quickly removes the pen drive from the computer and looks at Steve, trying hard to show no emotions on her face: "I guess that one is on me…again."
Steve tenses his jaws before speaking in a lower tone this time: "Let´s get out of here, fast!" He turns on his com: "Barton, we´re leaving through the roof and we´re going to need back up!"
Clint is planting the bomb under the oil tanks, he responds: "Okay Cap, I´m on my way." He finishes fixing the bomb and stands up. He looks around, there no one in sight so he looks up the building and shoots a grappling hook arrow to the rooftop and starts climbing the rope.
Natasha and Steve are running on the hallway toward the staircase, but the iron door opens and soldiers start to come out.
The first soldier shouts a warning to the others as soon as he sees Steve and Natasha, and all soldiers start shooting at them.
Steve pulls Natasha behind him and they both duck behind his shield. Some of the bullets ricochet on Captain America´s shield, taking down two soldiers, but others come out.
Natasha grabs an explosive disk from her belt and makes it glide on the floor. It blows up near the soldiers taking three more down and giving time for Captain America to stand up and to run toward the guards. Steve bashes his shield on the first soldier, punches the next and kicks another back into the staircase, closing the iron door. He holds the door handle so they can´t open it and shouts to Natasha: "The elevator!"
The elevator´s doors are open on their floor, but when Natasha hits the buttons inside, nothing happens, it is disabled. She looks up and sees a trap door that leads to the elevator´s shaft. She grabs the upper frame of the elevator´s door and swings herself to get impulse to kick the trapdoor, it opens with a loud metal sound. She gets down and turns to Steve who is now pressing his shoulder against the door trying to keep the soldiers from coming in.
Natasha shouts: "Steve, into the elevator shaft!"
Steve lets go of the door, puts his shield on his back and runs to Natasha. A soldier comes falling down as the door abruptly opens.
Natasha starts shooting at the soldiers coming out of the staircase as Steve slides the rest of the way into the elevator. He jumps to grab the edge of the open trapdoor and climbs on the elevator. He extends his hand down: "Natasha, come on!" Natasha stops shooting and rolls into the elevator as enemy fire hits the wall beside her. She drops a disc that starts to release tear gas and grabs Steve hands. He easily pulls her up and closes the trapdoor. They have two floors to climb up to reach the rooftop.
Steve looks up and says: "The door on the rooftop is probably locked so I´ll have to use force to open it. Let me go first." Steve says as he holds the iron cable and starts to climb.
Natasha glances at the trapdoor as she hears coughing sounds from the soldiers but it soon stops and there are no more sounds. She gives a little smile, knowing that the tear gas had worked. She looks up and climbs after Steve.
PS: Tan tan tan! Are they going to make it out of there? I decided to make this chapter a cliffhanger, but don´t worry, I won't keep you guys waiting too long!
