Forming a New Team
When they didn't hear anything from Annabelle after Bucky started attacking people after breaking out from his cell, Sam and Steve grew worried about the blonde. While both knew that she was safer there than getting involved in this battle, they couldn't help but worry about her.
"We should call her, make sure she's alright" Steve told Sam as he glanced back at Bucky, who was still unconscious.
"Do you know what phone number she's using at the moment?" Sam muttered looking at the super soldier who just sighed and shook his head "Didn't think so"
"She doesn't trust us does she?"
"I think that she wants to trust us, she just doesn't know how"
"I guess you have a point" Steve replied before the pair fell into silence again. When sounds starting coming from the makeshift holding cell that contained Bucky, the two ran into see the former assassin, who continued to stare straight at the blonde soldier.
"…Steve"
….
As the news of the Winter Soldiers escape from custody along with Steve and Sam going missing had been playing on a loop since it happened. Anna knew that the three males were all together, that there was nothing that would stop Cap from protecting his friend and Sam had been helping the blonde try to find his old army buddy. Gathering her belongings the young blonde threw them into a bag before heading out and to the car she had rented.
Pulling the car up to an abandoned factory Annabelle turned off the engine and got out so she could go find the boys. Walking through the halls until she was able to hear the tail end of a conversation
"They speak thirty languages, can hide in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, destabilise. They could take a whole country down in one night and you'd never see it coming"
"So that means everything's going to hell right?" Anna smirked as she stood in the doorway, as all three men looked at her. Not hearing Bucky whisper the name 'Celeste' when he saw her.
"Minus the assassination part they kind of sound like you Anna" Sam tried to break the tension, as he, Anna and Steve huddled around each other before getting serious "This would have been a lot easier a week ago"
"If we call Tony…" Steve tried to reason, trying to ignore the incredulous looks he was getting from the two.
"He won't believe us"
"Even if he did"
"Who knows if the accords would let him help"
"They wouldn't, there are dozens of clauses and legalities that will get them thrown in a cell if they even think about doing something without the Councils approval" Anna informed,
"When did you read the accords?"
"Better yet where did you get a copy of them?" Sam threw in, the young conartist shouldn't have had a way to get that information.
"I like being kept in the loop. Especially when it affects my baby sister, best friends and brother-in-law" the blonde explained like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Were on our own" Steve sighed as Anna and Sam shared another look "Will you two stop doing that?"
"I know a guy" Sam explained before his gaze fell back on the former con-artist "Anna I take it that you know someone?"
"I was thinking in calling some old friends, see if they want to stop a bunch of people who can cause a country to fall overnight"
"Sarcasm is not helping the situation"
"Sarcasm always helps the situation"
"Sam. Annabelle. Enough." Steve went into 'Captain' mode as his two companions started to bicker with each other, before going over to Bucky and got him out of the machine which kept him in place "We need to stop this from happening. Together." Once Bucky was free he continued to stare straight at Annabelle, never taking his eyes from the blonde.
"Buck? You okay?" Steve questioned his friend, not to sure why Anna was captivating the brunette's attention so much.
"He's probably just had a long day. We all have" Anna broke in as she avoided the line of questioning that Steve was going down "what we need is to figure out a plan of attack before the doctor finds these super soldiers"
"I can try and get my shield and Sam's wings back" Steve agreed with the blonde, starting to form a plan of attack "Sam watch Buck. Anna can you get us some backup?"
"I can make some phone calls" the blonde smirked as she pulled out one of her many phones and starting to dial the number of a person she trusted more than most others "Hey Kit-Kat, I need the location of a few people." Before she continued her conversation with the voice on the phone, she turned to Sam and Bucky, both who were glaring at each other "Boys, play nice. Once Steve and I make these calls we are getting out of this crappy abandoned factory"
…..
"So help me if you two don't get along so help me…" Anna trailed off as she hit them on the back of the head, before they turned their attention to Steve and Sharon … right as they kissed. Casting a glance at the two men in the car Anna rolled her eyes when she saw the looks on the face "Men"
Pulling out her phone when it buzzed she read over the message she received
'Got everyone. Meet at Airport Carpark ASAP.
W. says she will pay you back for Paris'
When Steve got back in the car he had barely even turned the ignition on before Anna spoke up "You need to get to the airport carpark. They are at area B6"
"Your contact came through?" Bucky questioned the blonde as she continued to tap away on her phone
"My contact always come through"
"And you were able to convince them to come to our aid?"
"People are easy to manipulate" Anna responded as she pocketed her phone and looked out of the window "You find their weaknesses, their desires, what they love, what drives them and you use it as strings to make them dance"
"I assume that's one of the cards in the deck?" Sam questioned the only female in the car.
"That's most of the damn deck"
….
"Look at this" Tony stated as he looked through some of the files trying to figure out the best way to stop the fighting before it went too far.
"She never mentioned it?" Natasha asked as she looked through the file that Iron Man had "You think Steve knows?"
"I don't know. But this could help us"
"You'd use this to win this argument between the two of you?"
"What choice do I have? This might just help"
"If this goes south Tony, it'll make everything that much worse. I hope you are prepared for that" the black widow warned as she went to go and find T'Challa, figuring they could use his assistance in the matter.
