Back with another chapter.

Hope you guys liked the last one. This won't be as exciting as last chapter, but it should hopefully be good.

Let's get to it.

Chapter 17- Tensions

Bucky stands perfectly still as the elevator descends to the bunker, still furious over his discovery. When the doors open, he stands there for a second before he walks out of the elevator.

Everyone looks over at him as he walks out of the elevator. They can quickly tell from the expression on his face that something is really bothering him.

After a moment, Laurel speaks up and asks, "Bucky. What's wrong?"

Bucky looks up at the team as he slowly walks over to them. He stops and looks at them for a second, then says, in a voice full of anger and hate, "It was Chase. All this time. It was Chase."

"Chase? What did he do?" Felicity asks, not catching on.

"He's Prometheus. Adrian Chase is Prometheus," Bucky says with fury. Everyone on the team looks shocked.

"Chase? He's Prometheus? But he was Oliver's friend. And he helped get Diggle released from prison. Why do all that if he was the one trying to destroy Oliver completely?" Curtis asks.

"Cuz he's crazy?" Rene suggests.

"Because he wanted to keep suspicion off him until he could fulfill his plan. And make sure that the betrayal hurt even worse," Bucky says angrily.

For a few moments, everyone is quiet. Finally, Diggle asks, "You gonna be okay, man?"

"I thought Chase was a friend. That he was somebody I could trust," Bucky says under his breath.

Laurel looks at him with sympathy. Then, she walks towards him and says, "Come on. Let's go grab a drink." Bucky slowly nods and lets Laurel lead him out of the bunker.

As everyone watches the two of them leave, Felicity's phone rings. Looking down at the screen, she recognizes the number. She answers the phone and asks in a low voice, "Hey, have you found anything?"

A moment later, she says, "Okay. I'll be right there." She hangs up, and looks up at everyone, who are looking at her.

"I need to go. A friend of mine may have found a clue," she says. And with that, she stands up and hurries out of the bunker. Diggle stares after her, a little concerned.

(Nearby bar)

Bucky downs another shot, just staring ahead. Laurel sits beside him, looking at him with concern.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Laurel asks.

"No. I'm not. I thought Chase was somebody who could be trusted. I thought he was a friend," Bucky says.

"I know. I have a little experience with betrayal. It's not something you can prepare for. And it's not something that's easy to get over," Laurel says.

Bucky nods, staring off into the distance. "I wish Steve was here," he says in a low voice.

(HELIX base)

"So, did you find anything?" Felicity asks as she hurries down the stairs.

Alena is sitting at her station, but as Felicity calls out, she turns around and quickly stands up.

"Yes, I did find something," she says, picking up a tablet and hurrying over to Felicity, tapping the screen a few times.

When she gets to Felicity, she turns the tablet so Felicity can see the screen. Looking at it, she sees some of the documents relating to Justin Claybourne's divorce.

"So, you mentioned that you think this Prometheus was linked to Justin Claybourne, and may be his son. So, we looked into his son's identity. And we were able to find out his real name. Simon Morrison," Alena says as she pulls up the birth certificate with the Simon Morrison on it.

"Okay. Do you know where I can find him?" Felicity asks Alena.

"We've tried. There is no record of a Simon Morrison in any recent records we've searched," she responds.

Felicity looks confused. "Well, then how is this information gonna help me?" she asks.

Alena smiles. "We found him already," she says.

Felicity feels confused. "What do you mean?" she asks.

Alena smiles even more. "We were confused as to why there's no recent records of a Simon Morrison, so we looked into where he went. And we found there are recent records of him. Just under a different name," she replies.

Felicity starts to smile, thinking she knows where this is going. "He forged a false identity, and he's using that identity now?" she asks rhetorically.

Alena nods. "Yeah. And we found out what that false identity is," she says. She then pulls up a picture of Chase as she says, "His fake identity is Adrian Chase. The DA of Star City."

Felicity tries to look surprised. "Seriously?" she asks.

"Yeah," Alena nods vigorously.

Felicity looks at the screen for several more moments. Then, she says, "Can you download this info onto a flash drive for me?"

Alena reaches into her pocket and pulls out a flash drive, which she holds up for Felicity to see. "I had a feeling you'd ask for that. Already done," she says.

Felicity beams as she takes the flash drive from Alena. "Thank you so much, Alena," she says, right before her phone goes off. Looking down at it, she sees several texts from Diggle, asking where she is and asking for her to come back to the bunker.

"Alright. I have to go. But thanks again," Felicity says.

"You're welcome. Oh, and one more thing. We have found a couple of pictures we think may give us a clue as to the identity of Prometheus. They need to be enhanced, which may take a while. But I'll call you whenever we get something," Alena says.

"Of course. Thank you again," she says before turning and walking out.

(The bunker)

Bucky and Laurel walk back in, wondering why Diggle summoned them back. As they enter, they see that Diggle is talking to Felicity, and doesn't look the most pleased.

"What's going on?" Bucky asks.

"Well, Felicity left her right after you two did. I thought she was being a little secretive, so I texted her to come back. And I found out something interesting when she did," Diggle says.

"What?" Bucky asks.

"She found some info on Chase. Albeit, some good info. But...she crossed a line in doing so," Diggle says.

"What?" Bucky asks suspiciously.

"What Felicity has neglected to tell us is that since you started working with Chase to get me out of prison, she's been working with an organization of cyberterrorists called Helix to get the information. And has had to do one or two things for them that are less than honorable," Diggle says.

Bucky looks right at Felicity, his eyes narrowing. "You what?" he demands.

"They had information that could've helped me find something to free Diggle. And I've been working with them because they're just as good as me, if not better. They reached out to me because one of them knew my old hacker ID, and wanted to meet me and help me out. I figured if I worked with them, I'd have a greater chance of finding info to help us take down Prometheus. And they gave me some helpful information," Felicity says defensively.

"And yet you worked for a group of cyberterrorists. All because someone was a fan?" Bucky asks, his voice getting more angry.

"I didn't realize everything they did at first. And then, I figured it wouldn't matter, because I felt anything they asked me to do was a small price to pay for finding out information that could help us stop Prometheus," Felicity replies.

Bucky just stands there for a moment, glaring at Felicity. Finally, he asks, "What information did they give you?"

Knowing it's not over, but glad they're at least temporarily on a different topic, Felicity holds out the flash drive Alena gave her and says, "They found evidence that Adrian Chase is a false identity. His real name is Simon Morrison. And, they said they may have some pictures of him that could help expose his identity as Prometheus, but they did time to develop and enhance them."

Bucky stalks over to Felicity and pulls the flash drive from her hands. "I will take this to Pike. The rest of you, go home for the night. Except you, Felicity. I need to finish our chat once I get back." And with that, he moves towards his uniform.

(Police station)

Captain Pike slowly walks out of the police station, ready to head home after a long day. Suddenly, he hears something on the fire escape above him. Turning around, he sees Bucky, in his full uniform, standing on the fire escape.

"The Winter Soldier. To what do I owe this visit?" he asks.

Bucy stands there for a moment before leaping off the fire escape and landing in front of Pike. Slowly standing, he reaches into his pocket for the flash drive, and hands it out to Pike. "THis flash drive contains some sensitive information. With the information on this drive, you can confirm that Adrian Chase is a false identity, and that his real name is Simon Morrison. We also have suspicion that he may be Prometheus, though we have yet to acquire any hard evidence. I'm trusting that you will know what to do with this. Keep Chase under surveillance, but do not try to engage. He will massacre whoever you send after him if he is Prometheus," Bucky explains.

Pike slowly reaches out and takes the flash drive from Bucky. He looks at it for a moment before looking back at Bucky and says, "Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely. And I believe I may have seen Chase as Prometheus. But, I know that my testimony won't fly with anybody else. Just observe him for the time being. Keep this knowledge limited to as few officers as possible. And don't engage," Bucky says before turning and firing off an extension cable, yanking him up to the fire escape, and quickly vanishing onto the roof.

Pike stares after him for a moment, then looks down at the flash drive in his hand, wondering if he should believe it.

(The bunker)

Felicity types away the computer, nervously biting her lip as she waits for Bucky to return. She knows whatever he says when he comes back, it's not going to be pleasant.

The sound of the elevator descending draws her attention. She looks over towards the doors. It's a few more moments before they open and Bucky walks out.

Bucky walks over to the computer station in silence. Felicity waits in agony for him to start talking. When he gets to her, he just looks at her for a moment. When he does start to speak, it's in a low voice.

"I will agree to let you work with Helix until we get that picture from them. After they give it to us, you're done with them," Bucky says.

"Bucky...you have to understand. We needed the information to find Prometheus," she says slowly.

"So far as you've told me, they have not given us any information we could have gone without. I'll admit, if they can give us those pictures, your working with them will at least yield some profit. But I can't believe you would think any of us, especially me, would be okay with this. I spent enough time being controlled by a terrorist organization. I will not work with Helix. They are too dangerous. You will not work with them again after they give us those photos, or your place on this team will be gone. Understood?" he says harshly.

"Crystal," she replies.

Bucky continues to look at her for another moment, then turns and stalks away. She stares after him, wondering if it was worth it to work with Helix after all.

And, I'll end there.

I hope this wasn't too bad. I wasn't entirely sure about this chapter, but I felt it would fill in a few holes in this story.

Next chapter will be where it really starts to get exciting. Hope you are as excited as I am.

Until next chapter, please review and give me your feedback, and stay tuned for the next chapter.
