Another filler-chapter. Action scenes always take a long time for me to write as there's a lot going on and what not. But we're nearly at the end, so I'm gonna go for it the upcoming week so that I have an update ready for the weekend :)

Once more, thanks to everyone who favorited and followed!

Love . Fiction . 2017: Thanks! :D

Chapter 19

The four heroes were two hours away from the airport, though it took them a little longer to get there seeing as they could not take the normal roads in case they were seen. Knowing it would take Clint some time to get to Germany with Wanda and Sam's secret guy, Steve parked a few blocks away from the airport out of sight from anyone so the four of them could get some sleep. Before night fell, however, Sam made sure to buy some food seeing as none of them had gotten much to eat since they had found Bucky. Luckily, the place Sam had gone to had seemed a bit shady, and he assured everyone that no one there either recognized him or would snitch on them.

They took turns keeping watch, in case a police car pulled up or someone else who could snitch. The past day, their faces had been all one could see on the TV and their names were mentioned everywhere. They had to stay out of sight until everything was done. And even after that, Maria had to make sure they still stayed out of sight. She was not that keen on letting her child get born in prison, or with its father in prison.

Then again, what sort of life would the child have if it had to be born while they were all on the run?

Thoughts like those and thoughts about how she would be able to fight and help Steve without getting herself hurt were racing through her mind, keeping her up as she rested her head against Steve's chest, his arm around her to keep her warm and safe. Her eyes were wide open, while Steve was asleep. Sam was the one on watch at the moment, which gave Bucky all the space (not that there was much) in the back to lay down and relax. Though through the rear-view mirror, she could see Bucky wasn't sleeping either; his eyes were wide open as he stared up at the roof of the car.

Although she was comfy enough where she was lying, resting against her soon-to-be husband, her legs were starting to get restless due to her not sleeping and simply staying in one position for no real reason. With a sigh, she carefully pried herself out of Steve's grasp, causing him to stir slightly, his eyes opening. She simply smiled and shushed him back to sleep before carefully exiting the car, not closing the door completely in fear that it might wake him up again.

"It's been two hours already?" asked Sam from where he was sitting on the hood of the car. She walked over to join him, shaking her head as she hugged herself, the chilly breeze of the night pecking at her skin and making her shiver. "This reminds me of my time in the army."

"You had to keep watch as well?" asked Maria quietly, sitting down next to him.

"Yup. Not as much as the other guys. We usually just had missions where we flew in, dealt with things, and retreated again. Though sometimes things would go wrong and we would have to wait for help. That's when we would take turns to watch during the nights," he told her. "This is different though. I mean, Stark and Nat, the people coming after us, aren't trying to kill us. Not to mention I'm with family now, not simple soldiers."

Maria smiled widely at his words, turning her head to look at him, "Family." She repeated the word before letting her smile falter slightly, "But not our entire family."

Sam scoffed, "For all I care, they ain't family no more."

Her heart broke slightly at his words, though she couldn't help but agree slightly. Natasha was her friend, a very close friend, and Tony had done things for her no one else would have done. They had both changed her life. But they were against them being a family the way they had always been. She knew she would never ever decline to help them should they need her, but at the same time, she feared she might easily be able to decline their calls for help.

A sigh escaped her lips and she looked away from Sam.

"What's keeping you up?"

"Secrets…" she mumbled as she lowered her arms so she was hugging her stomach.

"I'll make sure you're safe, if a fight does break out."

"I don't see how there won't be a fight," sighed Maria. "I'm sure they got some stupid orders from the government to get us back in our cages as soon as possible. And they know we want to leave the country seeing as everyone here knows our faces… They'll be there alright."

"But, they'll just be the two of them. Oh, and that cat-dude," reassured Sam. "We can handle them. Especially with our added help."

"Vision's on their side too… He'll be difficult to fight," sighed Maria. "Talking about which, who's your secret recruit?"

It was Sam's turn to sigh before he smirked, "Remember the break-in we had right after you returned to us? The man who could shrink?"

"Yeah?"

"I tracked him down. Like I said I would," gloated Sam before turning serious again. "I gave Clint his address and told him to say he owed me for what he took."

"He doesn't though… That was Stark's," smirked Maria, to which Sam simply shrugged.

"He doesn't have to know that."

"So, what's his name?"

"Scott Lang."

Silence ensued over them; a calm silence that comforted them both. The parking lot on which they were parked was surrounded by woods, the high trees shielding the view over Berlin they would normally have had from the airport. The night sky was filled with stars, no cloud being in sight. It was a beautiful night and a silent one. Though Maria doubted the silence and calm would stay during the next day. She feared things would turn nasty… Not only that, but she was afraid of what might happen once they reached the Hydra base and what they might find there.

"You of all people should get some sleep," said Sam, his eyes glancing down at his watch briefly, "There's an hour left until you're up."

"I really can't sleep…" mumbled Maria, shaking her head.

"Alright… Then, you can keep me company." Sam threw his arm over her shoulders, the two staying huddled up together the entire hour until Sam's watch was over and he left to sit himself down in the front seat to get some sleep. Alone, Maria's thoughts returned to those who had been keeping her up. And unfortunately, those thoughts kept her awake the rest of the night as well.

Steve parked beside a white van parked on the third level of the parking house that was the closest to the northwest part of the airport, just like they had agreed – it was the furthest away from the airport itself and the closest to the actual landing bay as possible. Due to its location, there were barely any cars there, and it was empty of any people too. In other words; it was the perfect location for them to meet up in secret.

The four heroes exited the old car while Clint and Wanda exited the white van. Maria quickly walked over to hug Wanda, asking her how she was and whether she was okay. Wanda simply nodded her head and it was clear that something had happened that she needed to talk about. Clint seemed the way he always had been. The only thing that was different was his suit, which had obviously been upgraded to a darker shade in colour and with, possibly, some new gear. The two hugged briefly before Clint turned to the others. Bucky stayed back, though both Wanda and Clint nodded their heads at him in recognition, Wanda even smiling at him.

"You know we wouldn't have called if we had any other choice," said Steve after he and Clint had greeted each other.

"Hey man, you're doing me a favour. Besides, I owe a debt," was Clint's only reply with a shrug.

"Thanks for having our backs," said Steve, his eyes now on Wanda.

"It was time to get off my ass," was Wanda's snarky reply, a smirk on her lips.

"How about our other recruit?" asked Steve, once more looking at Clint.

"He's rarin' to go. Had to put a little coffee in him, but… he should be good."

Clint's lips stretched out into a smirk before he turned around and opened up the back of the van, revealing a sleeping man on the backseat. Clearly enjoying this, Clint knocked loudly on the van's side causing the sleeping man to wake up with a fright. He fumbled slightly but managed to get out of the van, mumbling words about 'what time-zone is this' and more.

"Come on, come on," urged Clint before closing the door behind the man.

The moment his eyes fell on Steve, the man seemed to sober up. His eyes widened as Steve walked up to him, offering him a hand to shake. Although slightly shocked, he shook Steve's hand.

"Captain America," acknowledged the man with an amazed look.

"Mr… uh?"

"Lang. Scott Lang," introduced Maria before Clint could.

"Mr Lang," greeted Steve with a curt smile.

"It's an honour," said Scott, still shaking Steve's hand and not showing any signs of wanting to let go. "I'm shaking your hand too long." Whether Scott said this to himself or not, Maria couldn't deduce. Though it was a rather amusing sight to see the new recruit fangirl over Steve. "This is awesome! Captain America." Once Scott had let go of Steve's hand, he lightly touched Steve's shoulders, seeming to measure Steve with himself for a while before letting out a breathy 'wow.' "Ah, look, I wanna say, I know you know a lot of super people, so… Thinks for thanking of me."

Maria couldn't keep a soft giggle in, biting her lip. Scott was acting rather funny. Her giggle caused Scott to look over at her and his eyes widened even more.

"Mater Mortis! Cool!"

"Please, don't call me that," squirmed Maria, shaking her head before smiling at him, "It's nice to finally meet you Mr Lang."

"Ah, call me Scott," said Scott before lightly shaking her hand. "The rumours aren't true, right? One touch doesn't kill?"

"Who-!? Oh, the media," sighed Maria before she chuckled. She quickly hugged him, placing a hand on his shoulder as she took in his shocked look. "Are you dead? No? Well then, the rumours aren't true."

Scott relaxed before noticing Sam, "Hey man."

"What's up, Tic Tac?"

Steve glanced between Sam and Scott, clearly not understanding when they had met. Maria smirked at him before reality suddenly hit her in the stomach as she realized how much Steve was actually being let out from; how much people didn't tell him things in fear of how he would react or look at them. Whether this was something that happened when others loved you or looked up to you was something Maria was unsure of. She had never really been kept in the dark about things for those reasons before. Instead it had been to control her… though that was not the reason Sam and Maria kept things from Steve.

"Good to see you. Look, what happened last time when I-" started Scott, his eyes seeming slightly nervous about how Sam would react before Sam quickly cut him off, holding his hand up.

"It was a great audition, but it'll…. It'll never happen again," stated Sam, his eyes telling Scott that he in no way would be able to beat Sam a second time. Something in Scott's eyes told Maria that he had taken that as a dare, and she smiled again.

"They tell you what we're up against?" asked Steve, changing the subject from something he did not understand to the matter at hand.

"Something about some… psycho-assassins?" said Scott uncertainly.

Maria nodded, "That's another word for it."

"We're outside the law on this one. So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man," warned Steve gently, his eyes telling Scott that he had a second chance to turn around and walk away from everything. Though Scott puffed up his chest unconsciously, his eyes looking up at Captain America with something close to pride, before he shook his head.

"Yeah, well, what else is new?" he asked jokingly, causing Steve to smile and nod at his confidence.

"We should get moving," said Bucky from his position away from the group.

"We got a chopper lined up," said Clint, nodding over to the landing bay where, in the distance, a chopper could be seen standing ready next to a smaller building Maria was unsure of what was inside.

Suddenly, a crackling sound could be heard from the speakers, causing all seven heroes to look up at the ceiling as though they could see who was speaking there.

Dies ist eine Notsituation. Alle Passagiere müssen den Flughafen sofort evakuieren.

Maria glanced back at Bucky, unsure of what they were saying.

"They're evacuating the airport," translated Bucky for her before the speakers crackled again, the same words being said in English for those passengers who were not German.

"Stark." Sam bit down after he said it, glancing over at Steve.

"Stark?" asked Scott.

Steve sighed, "Suit up. They've found us."

As quickly as they could, Sam and Maria opened the back of their run-down car while Clint opened the back of his. Maria handed over Bucky's and Steve's suits to them while Sam grabbed his wings. Clint handed Scott his suit which he quickly began to put on inside of the van. While both Steve and Bucky had no problems getting dressed in front of everyone, Maria glanced over at Wanda who nodded her head and began to move away from the group with her.

The two stood a little away from the men, Wanda (who already had her suit on) shielding Maria with her own body as Maria got undressed.

"I have to tell you something…" whispered Maria.

"You're pregnant!"

"Sssch!"

Maria gently slapped Wanda on the shoulder, glancing over at the men to see if any of them had heard. Luckily, just as Wanda had made that deduction, the notice over the speakers had been heard again and none of the men had seemed to notice. Although she could not be sure… After all, Steve had super soldier hearing. Though Bucky hadn't seemed to react either, and as far as Maria knew, the two had the same hearing capabilities.

"What makes you say that?"

Wanda, with wide eyes, glanced down at Maria's belly. It was the first real time that she had looked at herself properly since finding out that she was pregnant; meaning the day before, and Maria furrowed her brow.

"What?"

"Don't you see it? I mean, it's just a bit, but I can see it," whispered Wanda. "You're showing – how far along are you?"

"I don't know, to be honest. Sam told me yesterday," mumbled Maria causing Wanda to raise an eyebrow.

"But you're showing. Surely you had some theories as to what was going on with your body?"

"I honestly didn't… And I sure as hell didn't think about babies. The doctor told me I couldn't get pregnant again," whispered Maria. "Anyway, it's a long story."

She gently placed a hand over her stomach. It felt the same as always. Then again…

A wide smile spread over Maria's lips as reality overtook her again.

"Congrats," smiled Wanda.

"Ladies! We don't have all day!" called Sam causing the two of them to look over at him and the others. Steve wasn't fully dressed yet and gave Sam a full-on glare who seemed to shrink slightly. "I mean – Take your time!"

Maria rolled her eyes, not missing Bucky doing the exact same thing.

"So, this is Barnes?" asked Wanda as Maria began putting on her suit, one leg each.

"Yup."

"He's kinda hot," smirked Wanda.

"Hey, you got Vision. Don't go playing other dudes as well," joked Maria, though her smile faltered as Wanda's smile vanished. "What? What happened?"

"Let's just say that Vision might not want me back anymore," mumbled Wanda.

Maria zipped up her suit quickly before hugging Wanda tightly.

"He'd be a fool to not forgive you."

A sigh escaped Wanda's lips as she hugged Maria back.

"I just wish things had gone different… I just wish the Accords had never been handed to us. We have Stark to thank for that."

Not wanting to talk badly about her friend, Maria simply nodded her head.

"Right now, he's not our biggest problem," sighed Maria as she strapped her belt around her waist, attaching her sword to it.

"He's still in our way," said Wanda as the two women moved over to the men waiting for them.

"Yes, but he's only got Natasha on his side as far as we know. We can handle them if we work together."

"Agreed," nodded Steve. "So… Let's move."
