[When Bucky is trying to pull out Tony's arc reactor, please tell me he's not mouthing Steve's Dead. Pleaseeee??]

When you and Steve had been sent to a HYDRA base for a simple data extraction, you thought it'd be easy. So did Steve.

The actual breaking in was no sweat; vaulting over the electric fence, scaling the building, finding the main offices, which, lucky for you, was empty.

But then you catch a flash of red and squint into the pitch black room, groaning when you see lasers along the ground.

"We can't touch the floor," You say, grabbing the rope Steve's holding and silently run to the end of the building, tying it around anything that looks sturdy and hurry back. "Damn,"

Steve looks towards you as you tug on the rope. "What?"

"It's not long enough," your eyes meet, and you think for a moment before grinning. "I have an idea,"

"This is uncomfortable,"

"I know,"

"I can't feel my feet,"

"Neither can I,"

"Are you almost-"

"Steve," you hiss. "Man up,"

He sighs into the empty room, trying to wiggle his toes but to no avail. Your brilliant had been to tie the rope around Steve's ankles, dangle him from the ceiling, but he was still too far away from the controls. And so, here you are, Steve holding your legs to his chest as you lean forward in a J sort of shape and download the data.

"(Y/n), I can feel the blood rushing to my head,"

You snort. "Good. Maybe that'll knock some sense into you," removing the flash drive, you hold it up with a smile and Steve sighs.

"Oh thank God,"

"Hey," a voice says, and you both freeze. "I think I heard someone in the control room,"

Eyes widening, you and Steve move abruptly, swinging around and you drop the flash drive. It feels like hours as the usb falls, landing right in between two red lines and you growl lowly.

"Nah. Don't be paranoid. Our shift ends in five minutes. We'll let the other guys know,"

Steve pats your leg and you nod, reaching forward and he slowly lowers you closer to the ground. Just as you grab the usb in your hands, an alarm goes off, the rope Steve had been hanging from snaps, and you both hit the floor with a loud thump right as an explosion goes off somewhere near the base.

"We've been made!" Steve hisses, untying the rope and stands, but you grab his wrist and tug him back down.

"No, we haven't. Unless we're the ones bombing the base, no one knows we're here,"

"Right. Let's get out of here,"

"Think you could give me a boost up?"

He hooks knots his fingers together and gives you a nod. Taking a deep breath, you plant your foot on his palms and he launches you straight into the air. You narrowing miss being splattered onto the ceiling, but land swiftly on the roof nonetheless. Steve joins you a second later.

"Everything good?" He asks, and you pat the usb drive reassuringly.

"Yup. Now all we have to do is make it across the battle field, a mile long trek, and then we're free,"

He chuckles. "You ready?"

Pulling out your escrima sticks, you grin. "Always am, Rogers,"
