CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it."
― Robert Frost
The night had just settled in and the sky was a dark shade of blue, the clouds still hovered high above and the patches of uncovered sky were filled with twinkling stars which illuminated the teams' path. Though the road was covered in a translucent mist which gave the road a sort of horror-esque aura which Summer - a girl who had watched way too many horror movies - slightly fearful.
The team currently consists of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes and Summer Scotts. Tony was dressed his suit, flying through the mountain range while Steve - also dressed up in his suit - was driving down the curving roads. Summer and Bucky were awkwardly sat in a Bugatti Veyron together. The car was actually Tony's but Summer had - annoyingly - stolen the car so many times from Tony's garage that it might as well have been hers. This being one of the times that she's stolen it considering it was much more useful than her slow mini cooper.
"I've spotted the van guys; it's about half a mile in front of you Cap." Tony said, speaking into his own communicator that was then echoed through their ear pieces. "So, what's the plan Cap?" Tony asks Steve, use to him taking the lead on missions by now.
Summer, who was also listening to the conversation through an earpiece while driving, scoffed and rolled her eyes. "You need to blow the tyres." She snapped into the earpiece, speaking for the first time throughout the whole drive.
"Are you sure SAIL will stay dormant through a crash?" Tony asked, beginning to question whether Summer's sanity had finally broken after 90 years of living. "You do realise that thing is a bomb right? When bomb gets ignited they kind of explode."
"Stop wasting time, Stark." She sighed, not even bothering to reply with a sarcastic remark. "Blow the tires and quickly retrieve SAIL, we'll make sure that none of the soldiers get in the way. That should be simple enough considering HYDRA lost all its good agents back at SHIELD, now it's left with the rookies." She explains with a bored sort of tone. "Just give me and Cap a second to catch up with the van."
"Okay, I'm ready when you are." Tony replied, slowing down slightly so that he doesn't overtake the van.
Bucky looked over at Summer proudly, she use to always hide behind the fear of being stereotyped when it came to commanding men. And now, she had the confidence to easily overpower any male authority. He obviously couldn't say any of the words from his inner dialogue as they were currently in the midst of an argument.
He knew that she wasn't mentally okay after going through a traumatic experience as a child, but keeping something like that a secret was simply cruel. He had a child and he wasn't even told about it when he finally got his memory back. How she'd been able to keep that a secret from him for so long was absolutely beyond him.
Summer looked at him in the corner of her eye after noticing his stares, but she still ignored him, now wasn't the time for confrontation.
"Time to go guys," Cap signalled as soon as he arrived behind the black van. A sudden light shot down from the sky and hit one of the van's tyres. The van began to swerve and both Steve and Summer urgently stopped their vehicles far away from the erratic van. It finally stopped and there was a momentary silence as everyone waited for whatever was going to happen next.
Bucky and Summer stepped out of the car with their eyes trained on the unmoving van. It was like the van held no life in it, though everyone knew that it was the complete opposite. Cap stepped off his motorbike and Tony lowered down on to the ground. The quartet stood in a battle formation, prepared for whatever the enemies' next move was going to be.
A few more seconds passed and the doors abruptly flew open with a bang, about five soldiers stepped out with machine guns raised. They instantly started shooting at the four partners and they instinctively ducked down to avoid the raging bullets that raced past them at nerving speeds.
Cap threw his shield at the soldiers' legs, though he only managed to knock one person over and onto the ground, Tony Stark assisted urgently by shooting two others down.
When the shooting went off, Bucky had instinctively wrapped his arm around Summer as soon as he had caught sight of the gleaming metal he recognised as machine guns. He turned the both of them around so that his body covered hers from any bullets.
Summer seemingly grunted in anger as she pushed his arm off her body, she then crawled off to the passenger side of the car. She opened up the door and reached underneath the seat, when she unveiled her hand this time it held two guns. She checked if they were loaded and once she had confirmed they were filled to the brim with bullets, she threw one of the guns to Bucky and he caught it easily. "I know you're use to a rifle, but you'll have to get over it." She muttered, looking over the hood of the car to choose her next target.
"I always get over things," he quipped with a small smile aimed towards Summer. She turned around with slight shock etched on her expression; it almost sounded like he was forgiving her.
She gave him a small smile in return, though it was more like an upward crease on one side of her lips that was supposed to be a smile. She returned back to aiming, quickly shooting down her first target in the shoulder - remaining to stick with her rule of not killing anyone.
Tony zoomed past the group of soldiers, causing the last remaining two soldiers that were standing to jump apart and land head first into the gravel. Once Tony had entered the van he was in it for only a second before appearing to slip out of the roof with a covered object in one arm, none of them got a really good look at the object as he'd zoomed off back to Stark Tower in only a matter of seconds.
"Alright guys," Summer yelled loudly, not bothering with the earpiece seen as they were all so close together. "Let's hurry up and get out of here."
All the soldiers were now on the floor looking as though they were unconscious so Summer went with her first judgement of getting out of there as soon as possible instead of burdening the useless soldiers anymore.
Cap returned to his bike after picking up his shield and Summer walked off back over to the drives inside of the sleek car while Bucky trudged his way to the passenger side.
What none of the fleeing team members noticed was the one soldier with silky brown hair stretching out to grab the gun which his companion held in his unmoving hand, he grabbed a hold of it and shoved it in front of his body. He aimed it and even bothered to form a sinister smirk on his face, though the effort made the pain all over his body boost momentarily.
This soldier was called Eugene Trump, his parents were both rich and both divorced. Every time he'd go to one of their houses he'd find a different partner that his parents were sleeping with, once he'd even come to find that his parents had accidentally shared a mistress. He hated his home life and his life working for HYDRA wasn't any better; he was constantly picked on for being the underdog but now those times were over - now he would make HYDRA proud, now he would be the bringer of justice and the blood on his hands would turn to gold.
"Hail HYDRA!" He yelled and seconds after there was a gunshot.
You know how they say that the moment you're about to die your life will flash before your eyes? Well for the person facing this metallic bullet, they saw everything they didn't want to see. A life they wanted so badly, a life they could have had if it weren't for them being unavailable, in hiding, for 70 years of their life. They saw children, a spouse, and a love that no one else could have imagined and there was even a hot tub pictured throughout the slideshow somewhere.
Only one out of the three partners in crime noticed whom exactly the bullet was aimed at and soon after the realisation they had jumped willingly in front of the speeding bullet.
Unluckily for them though, their body (though they had actually achieved protruding the bullet's course) wasn't quick enough to stop the bullet using their easily fixable organs as a shield. Instead, only their head had reached in front of the bullet in time.
This person fell to the floor harshly, a bleeding hole leaking on their forehead.
And just like that mad panic shot through everyone's heart, the sort of dreary silence no one ever wanting to experience filling up the highway. It was over, all of it was over. For one of them at least.
A/N: I WANTED TO PUT THIS AT THE TOP BUT THEN SPOILERS, Okay, so there's the ending that I hope you all hate me for because God knows when you'll get the next chapter. What I want to know, is what do you think? Who got shot? Who was going to get shot? What will happen next? DUN DUN DUNNNNN tell me and you'll get a free invisible unicorn.
