Ch.2 Modified
It was an ordinary day at the base of the allied forces. Well, as ordinary as it can get, since it was the home-base of the Howling Commandos after all. Currently it was surprisingly warm and sunny outside, and around the time of lunch. Yet, some of the soldiers ignored the good weather.
"So… what's the plan this time?" Jones raised an eyebrow as he, Dugan and Monty sat in the barrack, looking over the map and information they were given. Barnes was out, target practicing while Steve, Jim and Dernier were finishing their lunch outside.
"You know the tank Colonel Phillips said we could use?" Falsworth looked up at the com. specialist.
"The one Anderson and his team managed to steal from HYDRA?" Gabe raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, that one," Dum Dum laughed, remembering the arrival of a Nazi tank in the camp. It was a shock to say the least, and almost got Adam killed. But it all worked out in the end.
"Well, we'll be using it to get inside the base. Like a Trojan horse. We will be dressed as HYDRA soldiers naturally, and when we-" James talked, until Timothy cut in.
"Err…we only got one HYDRA tank right?" he was looking out a window as the other two shared a look.
"Yes why?" the Brit stepped away from the map and looked thought the window, Jones following.
"Wh-what?" Monty looked in shock. This was not happening.
"Oh… that might be… an issue," Jones said, but couldn't help but smile at that.
"Barnes' still shooting?" Jim asked, mouth half full with eggs – actual eggs, not just the powder. The last HYDRA base they blew up had controlled a village like the tyrants they were, and the villagers were more than thankful for being freed from them and gave them food, like eggs and milk, as thanks, even though they hadn't much themselves. War was war after all.
"Last I saw him," Frenchie drank the milk and shrugged.
"But it's been a while… and I don't hear the shouts anymore when he hits a target," Steve looked towards the target practice area, a ting of worry in his eyes.
"C'mon Cap, you're not his dad. Let him have some fun," Morita chuckled.
"I guess…" letting out a sigh, Rogers looked towards their barrack where the others were. And that's when he saw their tank. Well, currently their anyway. They knew about the mission, so when he saw someone moving around it, he got a bit suspicious.
"Do you see that?" he asked the two, not looking away.
"Who is that?" Jacques narrowed his eyes, trying to see better.
"It looks like Barnes…" the medic muttered, seeing the blue uniform.
"What's he doing?" the two asked, seeing he was holding something.
"…beats me," Jim shrugged, munching on another fork full of eggs.
"…I got a bad feeling…" Cap mumbled, standing up and going towards the tank. The other two shared a look before quickly finishing their meal and rushing after him.
"Okay, let's do this," Bucky smirked and quietly made his way to where the tank was parked. He made sure to let everyone know he'd be shooting for a while.
"I can't believe the guys are so boring," he grinned, shaking the paint spray can in his hand.
"…Yeah they're gonna kill me," he paused for a second before shrugging and using the spray. He got the idea to this not long after the chaos of an enemy-tank driving into their base had been solved.
"Big and seeable," he worked on his art, grinning like an idiot. He had just finished the first word.
"Wonder who'll lose it first," he chuckled, messing up part of the letter he was currently working on.
"Okay, okay… nice and easy," he went over some letters multiple times to make sure they're perfectly seeable.
"Almost done huh?" he smirked, setting in the last two letters, when he heard calls and shouts.
"Bucky?!" that was from Steve and Barnes couldn't stop smiling as he turned. He couldn't wait to see their reactions.
"W-What are you doing?" that was Monty. He knew, as he knew he'd be the most pissed.
"…You've got to be joking…" Jones was laughing, but holding his mouth, probably trying to not upset the Brit responsible for tactics any further by supporting Barnes' idea.
"Jimmy… you… oh God," Dugan was laughing in disbelieve, not really caring that Monty shot him a glare.
"Why? Just… why?" Jim was shaking his head, but grinning none the less.
"…Could have been worse yes?" Dernier actually seemed impressed – and got a glare for that from Falsworth too.
"What? Ain't it nice?" James laughed, stepping away so he could see his masterpiece.
The Howlers looked at what their teammate had done. It was written, big, colorful letters of 'Die Nazi Scum!' and they couldn't understand it. Why? When?
"You do know we needed that to infiltrate the base right?" Monty still seemed mad. Furious even.
"Yep! And don't worry, I got it covered!" Barnes grinned as the others looked in shock.
"I'll drive this thing right into their little nest. Keep them off you while you do your thing."
"…Are… isn't… why…" they were at a loss for words, wearing various expressions: some seemed just impressed, some confused, some amused, and one of them was actually pondering what Barnes had told them.
"Since when is it your job, to make stupid ass decisions?" Morita raised an eyebrow.
"What? I can't let him have all the fun!"
"Right. He's here. So the stupid never left…" Steve mumbled more to himself, thinking about a certain exhibition of the future, right before he had tried for the fifth and last time to enlist.
"…You know what? Do it," Falsworth nodded, hand on his chin.
"It's your idea – now it's your plan," the Commandos didn't know at which one they should be more in awe over. This was like some strange dream…
"I guess we're improvising," Jones shrugged.
"And before the mission even starts," Jacques laughed.
"If you're doing that, I want in!" Dum Dum smirked.
"We're all gonna die…" the others shook their heads as the two agreed.
Anderson, who just brought some papers to Phillips, originally had planned to just greet them and continue on his way to his well-deserved lunch, when he stopped and stared at the tank in disbelieve. He skipped the greeting and just turned to the Howling Commandos. "Why am I not surprised…this will end up in a big boom, I guess…" He stood there for another moment, looking at a certain sniper's masterpiece, before leaving to get something to eat.
"So… you know how to drive this thing?" Dugan asked as he sat at the cannon, ready to fire.
"Not really," Bucky answered, moving a lever and smiled when he felt the tank move.
"Roll out!" he called, pressing a switch that made the thing go faster.
"Wahoo!" Timothy's shout echoed in the tank as the two drove off.
"Monty said the east side is out best shot," Dugan looked down at the kid.
"Least guarded?" glancing at the older man, James was grinning.
"Yep!" looking though the scope, the transport specialist could see the base.
"Buckle up! It'll get bumpy!" going as fast he could, Buck drove the tank towards the fence.
"Ready and waiting!" Dugan set the missiles in and waited until they entered.
In the next few seconds, they could hear orders and screams as they drove into the fence, tearing it down like paper, and squashed a few HYDRA men under.
"Well… he wasn't joking…" Morita watched from their hiding place as the tank started coming, silently wondering if it really was a good idea to let Dugan and Barnes do this. They were known for trouble, sort of, after all.
"Why would you think he was?" Dernier looked up from his explosions.
"I don't know… the idea seems…" Jim didn't really know what to say.
"Unbelievable?" Steve answered from him.
"Yeah…" the medic saw the tank tore down the fence and they could hear shouts and screams.
"Let's move!" Falsworth looked at the others as they quickly but carefully made their way to the base. As you'd expect, the enemy was already shooting at the tank and didn't even think about covering the other side.
There were… few soldiers who didn't get to the tank fast enough and saw the Howlers, but they were taken care of quickly. The Commandos set their explosives and could hear the fire of the cannon and couldn't help but laugh. It worked. This was just too weird.
"Wonder what Phillips will say about this?" Gabe laughed as they ran to the tank to get a ride.
"Who knows? Today is just one strange thing after another," Monty sighed as they shot down men.
"Agreed. Let us never speak of it again," Frenchie jumped on the tank as the base blew up.
As Anderson had predicted, it was a big boom – said man's ears were ringing, and he just knew the Commandos just had blown up a base again. Amused he shook his head, ready to face the papers Phillips would undoubtedly throw at him. That was his punishment after bringing a tank into base without warning. He was assigned to do paperwork.
And that's it for this one. Hope you enjoyed and review =3 Till next time!
