A.N:Hope you like it!


First lines; Sam Wilson is jogging around Washington, D.C. when Steve quickly catches up to him and runs past him.

Steve Rogers:"On your left."

As Sam continues to jog Steve comes around again quickly after doing another lap.

Steve Rogers:"On your left."

Sam Wilson:"Uh-huh, on my left. Got it."

As Sam is still jogging Steve comes around again from behind him from another lap.

Sam Wilson:"Don't say it! Don't you say it!"

Steve Rogers:"On your left!"

The students burst laughing thinking that's funny.

"That as to be so annoying."Justin said.

"Oh, it was."Sam nodded and turned to Steve."Just so you know, one day I will get you back."

Sam Wilson:"Come on!"

Sam gets angry and tries to catch up to him but only after a few seconds he's unable to carry on and stops to rest.

As Sam is resting catching his breath sitting by a tree Steve walks over to him.

Steve Rogers:"Need a medic?"

Sam laughs.

"That as to be such annoying way to start a friendship."Terry said.

Sam Wilson:"I need a new set of lungs. Dude, you just ran like 13 miles in 30 minutes."

Steve Rogers:"I guess I got a late start."

Sam Wilson:"Oh, really? You should be ashamed of yourself. You should take another lap."

He hesitates for a moment before saying sarcastically.

Sam Wilson:"Did you just take it? I assumed you just took it."

Everyone chuckled.

Steve Rogers:"What unit you with?"

Sam Wilson:"58, Pararescue. But now I'm working down at the VA."

Sam lifts hand to shake.

Sam Wilson:"Sam Wilson."

Steve gives Sam a hand to rise.

Steve Rogers:"Steve Rogers."

Sam Wilson:"Yeah I kind of put that together. Must have freaked you out coming home after the whole defrosting thing."

Steve Rogers:"It takes some getting used to. It's good to meet you, Sam."

As Steve turns to leave.

Sam Wilson:"It's your bed, right?"

"Woah, that escalated quickly."Blaise said, making some chuckled.

Steve Rogers:"What's that?"

Sam Wilson:"Your bed, it's too soft. When I was over there I'd sleep on the ground and use rock for pillows, like a caveman. Now I'm home, lying in my bed, and it's like..."

Steve Rogers:"Lying on a marshmallow. Feel like I'm gonna sink right to the floor."

Sam smiles and nods his head.

Steve Rogers:"How long?"

Sam Wilson:"Two tours."

Awkward silence.

Sam Wilson:"You must miss the good old days, huh?"

Steve sighs, it's a question he's often asked.

Steve Rogers:"Well, things aren't so bad. Food's a lot better, we used to boil everything. No polio is good. Internet, so helpful. I've been reading that a lot trying to catch up."

Bucky nodded understanding Steve, Steve smile happy to have his best friend here with him.

Sam looks up to think and raises finger.

Sam Wilson:"Marvin Gaye, 1972, "Trouble Man" soundtrack. Everything you've missed jammed into one album."

Steve Rogers:"I'll put it on the list."

Steve gets his small notebook and pen out and notes it down on his list which also includes - in the American version of the movie - I Love Lucy (Television); Moon Landing; Berlin Wall (Up + Down) Steve Jobs (Apple); Disco; Thai Food; Star Wars/Trek (with Star Wars crossed out, indicating that he has seen it); Nirvana (Band); Rocky (Rocky II?)

"You're such an old man, Steve."Clint chuckled, he rolls his eyes.

"Steve, you know you can use your phone for that."Alex told Steve.

"I know that now." Steve sighs, mumbling to himself.

Steve gets a text message: "Mission alert. Extraction imminent. Meet at the curb. :)"

"You and your emoji."Clint said amused, Natasha rolls her eyes.

Steve Rogers:"Alright, Sam, duty calls. Thanks for the run. If that's what you wanna call running."

They shake hands.

Sam Wilson:"Oh, that's how it is?"

Steve Rogers:"Oh, that's how it is."

Sam Wilson: (He laughs.)"Okay. Any time you wanna stop by the VA, make me look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk, just let me know."

Steve Rogers:"I'll keep it in mind."

Sam Wilson:"Okay."

Just then Natasha and Alex pulls up in a car by the curb and rolls down the window.

Alex Romanoff:"Hey. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? We are here to pick up a fossil."

The great hall burst out laughing.

Steve Rogers:"That's hilarious."

"Yes, it was!"Dean said, still laughing.

Steve walks over to her car and gets in, Sam gives Natasha and her car an appreciative look.

Sam Wilson:"How you doing?"

Natasha Romanoff:"Hey."

Steve Rogers:"Can't run everywhere."

Sam Wilson:"No, you can't."

He watches as Natasha quickly pulls away and drives off. flying over the Indian Ocean the trio are with SHIELD agents, led by Brock Rumlow.

Brock Rumlow:"The target is a mobile satellite launch platform: The Lemurian Star. They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them, 93 minutes ago."

Steve Rogers:"Any demands?"

Brock Rumlow:"A billion and a half."

Steve Rogers:"Why so steep?"

Brock Rumlow:"Because it SHIELD's."

Steve Rogers:"So it's not off-course, it's trespassing."

Natasha Romanoff:"I'm sure they have a good reason."

Steve Rogers:"You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor."

Alex Romanoff:"Relax, it's not that complicated."

Steve Rogers:"How many pirates?"

Brock Rumlow:"Twenty-five, top mercs, led by this guy. Georges Batroc."

He shows them a photo of Batroc on the monitor.

Brock Rumlow:"Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties."

Steve Rogers:"Hostages?"

Brock Rumlow:"Uh...mostly techs. One officer, Jasper Sitwell."

Some of the Avengers scoffed at that name.

He pulls up Sitwell's photo on the monitor.

Brock Rumlow:"They're in the galley."

Steve Rogers:"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship?"

"Hydra's dirty work."Alex muttered.

"Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck with Alex and find Batroc. Nat, you'll kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get 'em out. Let's move."

Brock Rumlow:"STRIKE, you heard the Cap. Gear up."

As they are getting ready to dive off the jet; into his radio.

Steve Rogers:[talking into his wrist communicator]"Secure channel seven."

Alex Romanoff:"Seven secure."

Natasha Romanoff:"Seven secure, did you do anything fun Saturday night?"

Steve Rogers:"Well, all the guys from my barbershop quartet are dead, so... No, not really."

Pilot:[on radio]"Coming up by the drop zone, Cap."

Alex Romanoff:"You know, if you ask Kristen out, from Statistics, she'd probably say yes."

Clint chuckles, finding it amusing that mother and son team up to find Steve a date.

Steve Rogers:"That's why I don't ask."

Natasha Romanoff:"Too shy or too scared?"

Steve Rogers:"Too busy!"

Bucky snorted."Actually it's all three."

Steve jumps out of the jet.

STRIKE Agent:"Was he wearing a parachute?"

Rumlow smiles.

Brock Rumlow:"No. No, he wasn't."

After jumping out the jet Steve dives into the ocean and then climbs onto the ship, he then beats everyone on the deck swiftly before anyone raises the alarm when he's interrupted by one of the pirates pointing his gun at him.

"Man that was so badass."Seamus said.

"I know right!"

French Pirate #1:"Bouge pas! Bouge pas. (Don't move! Don't move.)"

He's shot dead by Rumlow as he parachutes down onto the deck behind Steve.

Steve Rogers:"Thanks."

Brock Rumlow:"Yeah. You seemed pretty helpless without me."

"Yeah, right."Sam scoffed.

Natasha and another agent parachute down onto the deck to join them.

Natasha Romanoff:"What about the nurse that lives across the hall from you? She seems kind of nice."

"You should be focusing on the mission!" Lily said, annoyed at her.

Alex Romanoff:"What nurse? If Steve declined I might want to give it a try."

Wanda narrowed her eyes."Nurse? What nurse?"

Alex flinched."No one! I was just joking!"He pulls her closer to him."And you know you are the only one for me."

Wanda sighs as she snuggles up to him, she knows what he was like before he met her and that's why she hesitated to go out with him. But hearing about his past conquests is something she'd rather not know.

"Are you two together?"Rose asked, been wanting to ask after seeing their interaction with each other.

Alex look at the Potters making sure that they weren't paying attention, having an idea that Lily would make a scene if she find out...

"Well, we are more then that."Alex says quietly, as Wanda shows her the ring.

Rose quietly squeal."You are getting married!? That's wonderful! You will invite me, right?"

Alex nodded, as Wanda smiles softly at her."Of course, but your mother could pose a problem..."

Rose sighs, knowing her mother, she can't help but agree with him.

Steve Rogers:"Secure the engine room, then find me a date."

Natasha Romanoff:"I'm multitasking."

Natasha Jumps down to the lower deck, Alex run toward the east side of the side.

Two pirates were unaware of Alex presence. He kicked one of them down, then attack the second pirate, he hit him in the knee then the face before roundhouse kicking him off the deck. The first pirate reached for his gun on the floor, but Alex stepped on his hand then kick him across the face. He move along.

Many of the boys cheered seeing Alex in action.

"Why don't you have your staff?"

"Because it wasn't necessary for me to use it for this mission."Alex answers.

Below deck we see the pirates are holding the ship's crew, including Sitwell, hostage.

French Pirate #1:J'ai dit à Batroc que si on veut que le SHIELD nous paye, commence à leur envoyer des corps maintenant !([subtitled] I said to Batroc, if we want SHIELD to pay, we have to start sending them bodies now!) [to the hostages]. Une balle pour quelqu'un ([subtitled] I have a bullet for someone). [shouting in English] You want a bullet in your head?! T'en veux une. Hein !(Do you want one? Eh?) [he kicks one of the hostage's leg]. Bouge ton pied. Tu veux une balle dans la tête ? ([subtitled] Move your leg. Want a bullet in your head?)

Meanwhile on the deck Steve moves quickly to find the hostages; in the control room.

Georges Batroc:"J'aime pas attendre. Appelle Durand. Je veux que l'on s'arrache dès que la ranson arrive."([subtitled] I do not like to wait. Call Durand. I want the ship ready to move when the ransom arrives.)

French Pirate:"Oui, Batroc"([subtitled] Yes, Batroc.)

He makes the call.

French Pirate:"Durand. Démarre le moteur."([subtitled] Durand. Start the engine.)

Durand:"Okay."

Durand puts the phone down, turns and sees Natasha behind him.

Natasha Romanoff:"Hey, sailor."

She quickly knocks him down and manages to swing down below deck shooting several of the pirates on the way.

Many were impressed by her skils.

To one of the hostages.

French Pirate:"Ferme ta gueule !"([subtitled] Shut up.)

French Pirate #1:"Bouge pas toi ! Mais qu'est ce qui se passe ! Tu veux jouer les héros, c'est ça ! T'as pas intérêt !"([subtitled] You don't move! But what's this? Want to play hero, is that it? You'd better not! )

He looks at the hostages who keep their heads down.

French Pirate #1:"Bon, j'ai trop attendu là."([subtitled] Well, I've waited long enough.)

He goes over to the locked door and bangs on it to get the attention of the pirate guarding outside.

French Pirate #1:"Hé, trouve Batroc, si j'ai pas de nouvelles dans deux minutes, je commence à les tuer."([subtitled] Hey, look for Batroc. If I do not hear anything in two minutes, I'll start to kill them!)

"It's kinda hard to keep up with those subtitle."Justin said, many agreed with him.

French Pirate #2:"D'accord. Je vais le chercher !"([subtitled] Okay. I'll find him!)

As the pirate turns to leave Rumlow, who's standing behind him with a stun gun, shoots him, on the other side of the door the other pirate senses something but dismisses it.

French Pirate #1:"Deux minutes."([subtitled] Two minutes.)

We see Rumlow and another STRIKE Agent places a bomb on the locked door.

In the control room.

French Pirate:"Silence radio du SHIELD, Batroc."([subtitled] Radio silence from SHIELD, Batroc.)

Steve watches them from the deck, we see another STRIKE agent getting in position.

STRIKE Agent:"Targets acquired."

Below deck Rumlow points his gun at the bomb placed against door where the hostages are being kept.

Brock Rumlow:"STRIKE in position."

Into his radio.

Steve Rogers:"Natasha, what's your status?"

We see Natasha jumping down below deck to knock out one of the pirates.

Steve Rogers:"Status, Natasha?"

"Mate, She's busy!"Harry said, Dean snorted at him talking to a screen.

Natasha Romanoff:"Hang on!"

As the pirate attacks her she quickly knocks him out; into her radio.

Natasha Romanoff:"Engine room secure."

Natasha grabs a pipe from the ground and knocks out one of the pirates

French Pirate #1:"Le temps est écoulé. Qui veut mourrir en premier. Hé toi ! Prend la fille." [subtitled] Time's up. Who wants to die first? [to one of his men] Hey, you! Take the girl.

Into his radio.

Steve Rogers:"On my mark. Three. Two. One."

The STRIKE team start shooting at the pirates, blow open the door and Rumlow quickly kills the head pirate.

Jasper Sitwell:"I told you, SHIELD doesn't negotiate."

Back to Alex, he come across three more pirates with their rifles raised. Alex quick dock behind cover as they fired at him. He run up at one of the pirate and perform a scissor kick takedown knocked him to the floor. Alex engaged the others two, he quickly caught the arm of one with a rifle and broke the arm, disarming him then swept him to the floor. As he did the sweep, he also kicked the gun out of the hands of the second pirate, but he managed to grab Alex. He quickly deliver an elbow to his head, before he wrapped his arm around the pirate neck and quickly bringing the pirate down, Alex then used the momentum to throw the pirate over the deck.

Many students cheered at how quickly he took down the pirates.

"That was amazing! Did you guys saw the way he just kicked the guy's gun out of his hand!"

"Harry your big brother's cool."Neville said as many boys nodded in agreement, making him smiles.

Rose bounced in her seat with enthusiasm, that made Alex, Wanda and Natasha smile."You were so awesome! You went hoowaah!"She proceeds to make some fighting poses and noise, which make them laughed.

Back in the control room one of Batroc's men tries to get hold of the pirate below deck.

French Pirate:"Halo ? Je pense que la ligne est morte.J'ai perdu le contact."([subtitled] Hello? Batroc, the line is dead. I lost contact with them.)

Just then Steve smashes in through the window using his shield but Batroc manages to escape.

To Steve as he goes looking for Batroc.

Brock Rumlow:"Hostages en route to extraction. Romanoff missed the rendezvous point, Cap. Hostiles are still in play."

Steve Rogers:"Natasha, Batroc's on the move. Circle back to Rumlow and protect the hostages."

There's no reply from Natasha.

"Where are you?"

"Probably working with the pirates."Lily said, everyone turned toward her looking at her like she was stupid.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you saw her fighting just a moment ago?"

Steve Rogers:"Natasha!"

All of a sudden, Batroc kicks Steve, and they fight. The former is faring surprisingly well against the super soldier, his fighting style includes acrobatic moves.

He performs a flic flac and halts the fight.

Georges Batroc:"Je croyais que tu étais plus qu'un bouclier."([subtitled:] I thought that you were more than just a shield.)

Steve puts the shield on his back and takes off his mask. Batroc smirks.

Steve Rogers:"On va voir."([subtitled:] Let's see.)

"That was hot." Lavender muttered as Ginny nodded.

They start fighting again. But this time, Steve quickly turns the tide in his favor. He kicks him in the right leg, the stomach, and then performs a downwards somersault kick to the face, knocking him down.

The great hall cheered as the more excitable students all cheered at once.

"He stood his ground pretty well."Kingsley said.

Batroc stands up with visible struggle. Steve smashes him through the door of a room and knocks him out with a strong punch to the face.

Natasha Romanoff:"Well, this is awkward."

Steve Rogers:"What are you doing?"

"That's what we want to know."Amelia said.

Natasha Romanoff:"Backing up the hard drive. It's a good habit to get into."

Steve Rogers:"Rumlow needed your help. What the hell are you doing here?"

Steve goes over to Natasha and looks at what Natasha is backing up

Steve Rogers:"You're saving SHIELD Intel."

Natasha Romanoff:"Whatever I can get my hands on."

Steve Rogers:"Our mission is to rescue hostages."

Natasha Romanoff:"No. That's your mission."

"Did you know about her mission?"Steve asked Alex.

Alex nodded."I knew, but I didn't know what it was."

She finishes backing up and pulls the flash drive out.

Natasha Romanoff:"And you've done it beautifully."

As Natasha goes to leave Steve grabs her arm.

Steve Rogers:"You just jeopardized this whole operation."

Natasha Romanoff:"I think that's overstating things."

Suddenly Batroc rises and throws a grenade at the two as he runs off, Steve deflects the bomb with his shield, grabs Natasha and jumps through a window before it explodes.

Natasha Romanoff:"Okay. That one's on me."

Steve Rogers:"You're damn right."

"Where's Alex during all of that?"Susan asked.

"There was some pirate left, so I deal with them before they could try to make an escape."Alex answers.
