Bucky silently slipped through the window of an isolated corridor. He quickly slithered down the hallway, reading the numbers on the doors until he reached his destination. Room 2012. He glanced around the hallway before pulling out a key card and sliding it into the door. The door unlocked with a beep.

     The air was heavy and stale, like the dorm room had not held fresh air in a long time. Bucky felt suffocated but  took it as a good sign. If the owner hadn't been around for that long, he wasn't going to return that night.

     The dorm room was larger than most, occupied with luxurious looking furniture and appliances. Bucky cursed the comfort the rich students got to live in before activating his ear piece. "Tony, I'm in." he said as his fingers pulled his mask off the bottom half of his face.

     "Great!" Tony's voice cheered. "It should be on his night stand. A little metallic box with light blue lines on it."

     Bucky found the mysterious item and stuffed it in his pocket. "I've got it."

     "Hurry!" His friend, and partner in crime, Nat's voice said through the receiver. She sounded uncharacteristically whinny, "The movie is gonna start soon!"

     "I'm coming out," Bucky grumbled. He was looking forward to the movie but of course Tony had to spring the mission on them last minute. 

     It wasn't everyday that the university's film club decided to project a movie and Bucky had no intention to miss it. 

     He made his way back to the door, making sure to avoid all the expensive looking furniture. Just as he reached for the door, it beeped.

     With a curse, he pulled his mask back over the bottom half of his face. His eyes scanned the area for a place to hide, but the only option was the coat closet. Bucky wasted no time diving in it. He closed the door seconds before the front door was pushed open.

        Whoever it was would probably hang a jacket where he was hiding. He silently slid his body to the back of the closet, placing the dangling clothes in front of him and pulled his goggles over his eyes. Surely, the door opened. Bucky tensed, not daring to take a breath. His heart thudded so loudly he was scared who ever it was would hear it. There was some rustling in the closet before the door swung shut.

     Bucky let out the breath he was holding. Of course the owner of the damned dorm, who hadn't been around for months, decided to return the day Bucky was robbing him. He instantly regretted telling Nat and Clint to wait for him downstairs. It was stupid of him to sneak into the alpha dorms by himself.

     He listened for the owner's footsteps, trying to figure out where he was in the room. Bucky pushed all the coats out of his face. A creaking sound sounded through the room and the footsteps ceased. Bucky figured that he was on the bed, the bed area was out of sight of the front door. He silently slipped out the closet and reached for the front door. Two footsteps echoed through the silent space. 

     Bucky hesitantly turned to see the owner of the dorm looking at him with wide eyes. Cold sweat  slipped down his forehead. "Who the hell are you?" the man asked. "What are you doing here?" He took a step forward.

     Bucky flung the front door open and dashed out into the hallway. "Hey!" the man yelled, but Bucky paid him no mind. He contemplated climbing out of the window he came through, but he knew he wouldn't have enough time to open it. As he expected, the angry voice followed him out.

     Bucky ducked into the stair way, sliding down the railings for two floors and landing on his feet. He ignored the questions his friends were spitting in his ear. The guy followed Bucky down the stairs, but he was slower. Bucky burst through the hallway and flew to the window. He hastily undid the latch and pulled it wide enough for him to slip out. The man burst through the stair way just as Bucky was climbing out of it. "Hey!" he yelled.

     Bucky shut the window from outside knowing the locked automatically when closed. He flew down the fire escape, skipping several steps. He chanced a look up to see the guy fighting with the window. 

     Bucky had always hated the crappy windows around the university until that moment. By the time the guy was able to wrestle it open Bucky had already landed on the ground. Eighteen floors away from the guy.

     "Go, go, go!" he yelled at his friends who were waiting for him. "I got caught!"

     "Stop!" the man stuck his head out of the window. Bucky glanced back. He had short dirty blonde hair and a very muscular frame. It was a good thing he didn't get caught Bucky thought to himself.

     "What an idiot, who would actually stop?" Clint, Bucky's brother and also partner in crime, asked.

     "Fucking hell Tony!" Bucky gasped for air, "You said no one would be home."

     "He wasn't supposed to be. But we're good." Tony spoke calmly, Bucky could imagine him leaning back on his thousand-dollar sofa. "He didn't see your face, and I got back what's rightfully mine."

     "Hurry!" Nat said. They slid into an alley and changed out of their all black attires into more casual clothes. Clint burst into fits of giggles and the two found themselves following suite. They snuck around in the shadows until they reached the entrance of the beta dorms. 

     It was bristling with life even though it was just past midnight thirty. The film club members were hard at work, setting up the projectors and distributing free snack. "It's not too late to tell your friends to come!" a member yelled as the trio past by her. "Everyone is invited!"

     Tony was already waiting for them at the back of the crowd of students, comfortably perched upon a leather recliner. "Hey guys!" He waved, Bucky noticed three other leather chairs besides him. "I saved you seats. The movie just started!" None of them bothered to question the seats. They each plopped on one, slightly out of breath from their dash across the campus.

     They sat in the back, but every one's attention was drawn to them. They did stand out in a sea of people on blankets or foldable chairs. Just like tony liked.

     Bucky silently handed Tony the object as Clint pulled snacks out of his bag and distributed them. "What is it anyways?"

     "It's the first arc reactor i ever made." Tony started but Bucky shot him a look, stopping him from delving into scientific terms that would fly over his head. "It's essentially compact energy, with this I can power my other inventions."

     Bucky nodded. He wondered how the owner of the dorm was able to obtain the miniature arc reactor in the first place, but characters appeared on the big screen. The sentence slipped out of his mind when a gorgeous celebrity strutted down a hallway in heels on the screen.

     Bucky likes to think that if he asked, then he would have been able to avoid a series of troublesome and embarrassing moments.
