Hey I hope you're enjoying the story. Just a heads up that after the movie storyline is over, I will continue this story but in my own way. It won't tie into another other movie from there on, it'll all be original, so I'll let you know when that's going to happen.

''Jess!'' Steve responded when he heard her screams over his earpiece as he ran.

There was no air left in her lungs for her to reply, the forceful wind taking everything out of her as she fell through the sky. Her legs flipped over her body numerous times as she tried to steady herself, hoping she could fall into the water below and somehow survive, but she was sure she wouldn't. Even if she did have a small amount of super soldier serum in her blood somewhere, it was nowhere near enough to save her life from a fall like this.

Sam flew over, immediately spotting her falling and used all that he had in his suit to fly down to her, hoping he was fast enough. The ground was getting closer and closer, the wind having blown her right off from the water and toward the hard shore. She braced herself the best she could, but before she felt any impact, her hand was jerked up into the air. Sam pulled her up into the air again, only a few feet off the ground. She winced in pain as she was sure her shoulder had just popped out of place, but she had never felt so lucky and grateful.

''I got her!'' Sam called back to Steve, glancing down to Jess and making sure she was still conscious after the frightful fall.

''Good, cause I'm gonna need a ride!''

''Let me know when!'' Sam called back before he saw the explosion on the helipad above, and then a falling man.

''I just did!'' Steve yelled.

Sam held on to Jess's hand tight and took off after Steve, chasing him almost to the ground as well and taking his hand. Jess didn't scream this time when they whooshed through the air at an alarming pace, but she was far from comfortable with flying. Sam groaned as he heaved them all back up to the other side of the helicarrier that high in the air.

They all let out a sigh of relief when their feet met with the hard surface. Jess held onto her arm and gritted her teeth as she pushed her shoulder back into place, earning a look of sympathy from both of the men who had no doubt done the same many times before.

''You okay?'' Steve asked, unable to ignore the cuts and bruises forming on her face and the holes beginning in her pants where she'd grazed along the concrete.

Jess nodded bravely, determined to keep going.

''Y'know, you two are a lot heavier than you look,''

Steve smirked as they began walking.

''I had a big breakfast,''

Before they made it any further than a few steps, Steve was tackled to the ground by none other than Bucky. He'd stolen a jet from the agent's he killed and made sure no one was going to get to this helicarrier. It was hard to understand how much Bucky would risk to fulfill Hydra's orders, but his mind was full of so many false things.

Steve rolled off the side of the helicarrier, catching onto it's side just before he fell completely off. He was dangling on the edge with one hand as he could hear voices from above.

''Steve!''

Sam and Jess both ran over to the side, Sam jumping and beginning to spread his wings, but Bucky grabbed them and ripped him away from the edge. Jess pulled out her gun and shot at him, this time not aiming safely, but trying to hit him anywhere. He was unstoppable. When he turned to her, his eyes were full of hate. Sam pulled himself up and was in the air again, shooting at Bucky before he got the chance to attack Jess as she ran out of the bullets path.

Bucky pulled out a device and aimed at Sam, the grappling hook catching on his wing and slamming him onto the concrete again. He groaned in pain as Jess watched on, and as his wing was ripped from his suit, she ran over to him. Pulling two knives out from behind her leg, Jess flipped them in her fingers a few times before tossing one toward Bucky, hitting his leg. He didn't even express any pain as he pulled it from his skin, throwing it back at her. Jess stepped back from the force as it sliced deep into her shoulder.

Sam stood up and panicked, knowing they were dangerously close to the edge and he wasn't going to be able to fly anymore. Bucky rushed over angrily as Sam put his arm out to push Jess to the side, but she wasn't going to let him just take the attack. She pushed back, standing right next to him as she pulled the knife from her shoulder and held it up as if it would threaten the man coming for them. Her attempt was almost laughable.

Bucky took no mercy as he knocked the knife out of Jess's hand and forcefully pushing her off the side, again, and kicked Sam off to follow her. Without wings, he wasn't going to be able to save them. He shouted out as he fell, looking over to Jess who was distraught once again. Then he remembered his parachute. Always prepared.

Sam pulled off the remaining wing that was making his swing around in circles through the air.

''Jess!'' he called out to her. ''Grab my hand!''

''Sam!'' she screamed, trying her best to reach out.

Sam made his body straighten, quickening his fall to grab her hand and pull her to him. The concrete below was getting closer as they were about to come into full contact with the ground just outside the Triskellion building doors, but Sam hurried and pulled the string of his parachute.

''Run!'' he told her as he saw there wasn't going to be enough time for them to float down safely.

Jess was running, her legs kicking before she hit the ground with a painful force. Sam done the same, running as they slowed down just enough to land without splattering onto the concrete. They were both full of relieved sighs and deep breathing as they tried to calm down. Jess dropped to her knees and rolled onto her back, closing her eyes as she steadied her breathing.

''My feet are never leaving the ground again,'' she shook her head, her voice coming out shaky.

''Cap! Cap, come in, are you okay?'' Sam spoke, hoping Steve hadn't fallen.

''Yeah I'm here!'' Steve's voice responded, easing both Sam and Jess's worry. ''I'm still on the helicarrier. Where are you guys?''

''Grounded, the suit's down,'' Sam told him, the disappointment obvious in his voice. ''I'm sorry Cap,''

''Don't worry I got it,'' Steve assured.

Sam pressed the clips on his suit, letting the broken straps fall off from around his body. He put his hands on his hips as he looked up at the sky, knowing that Steve was going to have to face Bucky on his own. He should have been more careful, Steve was depending on him.

''Hey, we wouldn't have got anywhere near this far without you,'' Jess told him as she stood up, her hand pressing against her shoulder where the blood was beginning to spill through her fingers.

Noticing the wound, Sam turned to the mess that used to be his suit and ripped apart some of the straps, walking over to her. Jess knew what he was doing, but she still hesitated when he reached for her shoulder. As he wrapped the tight strap around her shoulder and pulled to maintain pressure, he could see her silently wincing in pain as she waited for him to be done.

''Should stop the bleeding,''

''Thanks,'' she breathed when he moved away. ''He's got a thing for aiming toward shoulders,'' she remarked, remembering that Natasha had been shot in the same spot.

They hoped Natasha was okay during her part of the plan, but they knew she would stop at nothing to make sure she stopped Hydra just as much as they would. Natasha was currently in Pierce's conference room with the World Security Council members, having impersonated one of them to get there. She was going to expose everything to the world, all of Hydra and all of SHIELD.

But their real concern right now was Steve.

''He's up there with no support,'' Sam shook his head.

''It's not your fault. Besides, maybe this is for the best. Steve knows Bucky better than anyone, maybe he can get through to him,'' Jess explained.

''You don't think Bucky will try and kill him?''

''I'm sure he will, but no one knows what's going through Bucky's mind, something might change,'' she told him. ''I don't know, I'm just hoping neither of them die really and that Hydra gets blown to bits,''

''We're gonna make sure of it,'' Sam nodded.

They stood in silence for a moment, catching their breath still and looking over to the building, wondering what was going on inside.

''Falcon? Jess?'' Maria's voice sounded in their ears.

''Yeah,'' they both replied together.

''Rumlow's headed for the council,'' she warned.

''On it,''

It felt like the building was empty as Sam and Jess made their way up a flight of stairs, their guns pointed in the direction of their path, ready. Rumlow had shot down any SHIELD agent who tried to stand up to him, and the bodies made a trail to the room where Rumlow was headed.

As they continued, the silence was broken by an agent who came at them viciously with a taser. Sam lifted his gun, but before he needed to pull the trigger, Jess kicked the man's feet out from beneath him and twisted his arm until the taser hit against him instead. He fell to the ground in seconds and Jess looked around for any more, knowing they were all hidden and waiting. There would have been an alert that they were in the building, but if they didn't get to Rumlow soon, he would get to Natasha and the situation upstairs. Jess wasn't going to let that happen.

''Go, I'll make sure no one follows you,'' she nodded toward him. ''Go Sam! There's not enough time to debate this,''

Sam took a step away, preparing to leave. Jess wasn't a soldier or a spy or and agent, but her confidence assured him she could take care of herself and she had proved it more than once that day. She was right, they didn't have time to debate.

Another agent came out from around the corner, his gun up toward Jess. She put her arms up, looking at Sam as if to tell him to get out of here, but he reached around and shot at the agent, waiting until he hit the ground before looking back to her.

''Now I'll go,'' he nodded.

Jess watched as he walked up the stairs further, and then she began making her way down the hall. All the offices were empty, but she could hear footsteps around corners. They weren't exactly being stealthy, but at a situation like this it would be expected they were in a rush. Hydra was almost taken down, they had nothing left to lose. Which meant they weren't just looking for a fight, they were looking to kill.

As she walked further, caution in each step, a woman stepped out behind one of the doors, her eyes wide with fear.

''I'm with SHIELD!'' she put her hands up as she saw Jess lift her gun.

''Aren't you all?'' Jess shook her head. ''Why are you still here then?''

''I'm meant to make sure no one gets past this hall,''

Jess watched the woman for a moment, trying to think of why she was assigned such a task. Her biggest concern though was whether or not the woman was SHIELD or Hydra. It was hard to tell.

''Why?''

The woman stared at her for a moment, and Jess knew. But before she could take action against the woman who she now declared as being Hydra, a garrote was slipped around her throat by whoever was behind her. She gritted her teeth as the thick wire became right about her neck, watching as the woman smirked in front of her. Jess tried to slip her hand under the wire, but it was no use. She threw her legs down onto the ground hard, pulling the person over and in front of her, a move she was quite skilled in.

However he kept his grip on the wire around her throat, and it was getting tighter. Jess's face turned redder and redder as she struggled, air becoming a desperate need. Then, much to her surprise, she managed to get two fingers underneath the wire and began pulling. It shouldn't have worked, there was no way the man's grip could have been loosened, but Jess was now pushing the wire away from her throat. With only two fingers, Jess pulled the wire as far back as it would go until she could get her head out from underneath. The man's eyes widened as she did so.

This is what she meant about having spurts of strength she didn't normally have. She shouldn't have been able to do that.

''How...'' the man began, looking at her in what appeared to be fear.

Jess responded by throwing her fist at his face, watching his head loll back. When she turned to the woman, she had already began running. Jess was going to chase her, but it could have been another trap. No more hesitating around these people. They all wanted her dead, but she was going to get to them first. A good thing about keeping her past hidden and clearing her background was that no one knew what to expect, and she smirked happily at that fact. Hydra didn't know they were dealing with someone whose family had been torn apart by them, or with someone who was in direct relation to the Winter Soldier.

These were the last moments of Hydra, and Jess was going to make sure they got what they deserved.

Also for this story, Jess has obviously inherited super soldier genes, and I will get into that a lot more in future chapters, but I just want you to know that I'm aware the super soldier serum doesn't work like this in terms of aging or whatever, but for my story it does (it's fanfic, c'mon) and I'll try to make that as interesting as I can. Thanks for reading
