Chapter 12: Ambush

AN: I'm sorry?

The two of them stared at the screens in front of them. They had tried to open one of the doors, but they wouldn't even budge. "So we are forced to watch." Bucky grumbled, looking at one of the screens, which showed Alice killing another batch of agents. "We need to get out of here." He groaned, before walked back to the door, trying to open it once more. He threw his whole body against the door, praying for it to give in, but again nothing. He turned around to look at the screens. "She is on a rampage. I hope she can really tell friend from enemy." Steve stated, still observing the screens or rather Alice's actions. "She can otherwise, Sam would have already dropped dead." Bucky grumbled, before he collapsed on the ground, leaning against the wall opposite the screens. "Fuck this!" He cursed, before he buried his metal hand in the wall he was leaning on, leaving a dent in it.

Steve watched Bucky with worry. They had to get out of this room as soon as possible, he scanned the room, looking for an opportunity to break free. When he found absolutely nothing, he punched one of the screens in frustration. Bucky jumped to his feet as soon as Steve's fist collided with the technical device. "What the hell?" Bucky cursed, walking up to Steve, who just kept glaring at the screen covered wall. "Look." Steve pointed to one of the screen, which showed Alice whipping around to face one of the cameras. She slowly walked towards it, before she stopped a few feet away. It was just now that Bucky got a close up on her. She looked tired and the black tint of her skin, which had before only come up to her wrist, now reached half way to her elbow. "We need to get out. Quickly. She keeps going and will probably drop dead." Bucky's frustration had invaded his voice. Steve started tracing every wall with his fingers, looking for some hidden door, knocking against the wall to check for a hollow space. He didn't stop until the sound of crashing filled the white room. He turned to see Bucky ripping the screens off the wall. "What are you doing?!" Steve screeched, trying to hold Bucky back. Bucky however just ripped himself out of his hold. "If there is no way out of this room at least we don't have to torture us with watching them." Bucky pointed at the screens, before hitting the wall behind the screens out of frustration. "Stop it, Buck!" Steve shouted, snapping Bucky out of his frustration. "You have to calm down, pal. We will get out and we will get to Alice before it is too late." Steve patted on Bucky's shoulder. "And I think you just found our way out." Steve stated, while pointing at the wall. Relief washed over Bucky, when the wall started to grumble after he had hit it again. After one last punch from Bucky's metal arm and a kick from Steve the wall gave in. Bucky flexed his metal fist, the limb was stuttering a bit, making Bucky frown at it. The two of them climbed out of the hole. "Where the hell are we." Bucky grumbled, before he walked down to one end of the hall. Steve followed and was pushed against the wall by Bucky's arm, when two agents walked down the next hallway.

Bucky peeked around the corner, before lifting his hand signalling to Steve that three agents, lingered just around the corner. Steve gave him a short nod, counting down from three using his fingers, before the two friends rounded the corner and attacked the agents. They had taken down the agents quite quickly, but as soon as they had caught their breath more agents run around the corner. "For fuck's sake." Bucky grumbled under his breath, before they started fighting once more until they were the only two in the hallway. Before any more agents could make their way towards them, they decided to find Alice. After all they had to stop her, before it was too late. They rounded another corner, but were stopped, when two voices filled the silence. "They said to keep off the sixth floor," Footsteps followed the voice. "The girl is totally freaking out and they would warn us when she got closer." The same voice continued. "I'm already looking forward to the final stage of the whole move." Steve shot Bucky a curious look at the agent's words. "She hasn't totally lost control yet, they are just waiting for her to find the videos. Morrison said they would be on the fourth floor."

Bucky shook his head at these agents stupidity, sharing such information so carelessly, when they knew that the two super soldiers were on this floor. Steve and him sneaked away from them to the closest elevator. "You'll go up to the sixth floor, find Alice and make sure she is alright." Steve started, "take her to the quinjet and calm her down. Don't come back until you are sure she is ready." Bucky gave short nod. "I'll get off at the fourth floor and make sure it is clear." "Alright, see you later, punk." Bucky pulled Steve in a short hug, before he got off. "Jerk." Steve smiled at him, while the doors closed.

Bucky took one last breath, before he stepped out of the elevator. The hallway was empty, but he could hear running, so he followed the noise. Soon enough a couple of Hydra agents run past the hallway he had just left behind him. Apparently they had tried to run away from Alice, who had just turned the corner. Her gaze was fixed on the agents, he saw her lifting her hand and thought it was best to step into her view, before she accidentally killed him as well. "Allie!" His voice directed her attention from the agents to him. She dropped her arm, staring at him in for another second, but as soon as he took a step closer to her, she rushed into his arms. He tightened his arms around her, pecking her temple. "I thought they would have taken you away or worse." Alice sobbed into his chest, her hands clutching the front of his suit. "I"m alright, doll. Everything is fine." He rubbed soothing circles on her back. The two of them had been so caught up in each other, that neither of them saw the agents with their syringes in their hands. Bucky felt Alice sacking in his arms, her body going limb, but before he could react his world turned black.
