Chapter twenty five - Disbelief.
Bucky shifted on his feet and turned his attention towards Amelia, noticing how much she was panicking. "Amelia, calm down."
"Why did we honestly think we could break into here without getting caught?" She said with regret, her breathing becoming irregular as her heart thumped rapidly. "We're going to die..."
"What? No, Amelia-" Bucky paused, moving away from Steve and moving towards Amelia. Amelia was left to support Steve by herself, his arm still around her shoulders loosely but Steve still had enough energy to stand on his own two feet. Bucky reached out his hands and gently grasped her cheeks, leaning in to give her a passionate kiss. Amelia relaxed more as his lips moved with hers, and then she forgot about supporting Steve as she released her grip over him and twisted her hands in Bucky's hair, pressing her body against the length of his. Steve stood there awkwardly and widened his eyes in shock as he looked at the two kissing, arching over weakly as he stood achingly on his feet.
Finally, after a few seconds, Bucky pulled his lips away from Amelia's, but stroked his thumb across her cheek lightly as he smiled assuringly at her, "We're not going to die, I won't let that happen, okay?"
"Okay." Amelia responded breathlessly, nodding her head slightly in agreement. Bucky smiled again and pecked her lips one last time before facing Steve.
"Sorry about that." Is all Bucky could say, reaching for Steve's arm and putting it over his shoulders again. Amelia did the same.
"Uh," Steve swallowed, his jaw hanging open in disbelief. He was so confused.
"Let's go." Amelia announced, picking up her feet and rushing towards the way they came in with Bucky. Evan continued to panic down the phone to her, telling her that the agents behind the door were getting angrier and shouting threats.
Bucky, Steve and Amelia turned a corner and nearly bumped into a bunch of agents- six, to be exact. When they knew it was them they immediately held there weapons up and began firing, and Bucky and Amelia let go of Steve and dodged the bullets, going behind the agents and fighting them. Steve could only duck, but kicked one of the agents legs so they were on the floor. He did whatever he could to get his adrenaline pumping.
Steve then punched the man on the floor in the face, then switched his body position and kicked him in the face. When he looked up he saw that Amelia and Bucky were fighting the last guy off. Amelia elbowed him in the face then pushed him towards Bucky, who just swung his leg up and kicked his jaw, causing the agent to fall down helplessly to the ground. Amelia huffed, then looked down at Steve.
"What you doing down there?"
"Helping."
Amelia smiled and held her hand out to help him up, but he shook his head, making Amelia and Bucky frown in confusion.
"No, I can do this."
"You're too weak-"
"I can do this." Steve repeated, cutting Bucky off from his sentence. Bucky and Amelia stood there impatiently, wanting to hurry up and get to Evan before the guards got to him first. Steve groaned in pain but pushed himself onto his feet- hobbling on one leg at first, but he managed to pull through. He stretched out as another groan slipped his lips.
"You okay by yourself now?" Bucky inquired, staring at Steve with hope. Steve nodded, finally feeling happy that he had some strength back. Being stuck sat on a chair for days didn't do him no good, but he felt much better now he could walk and get his energy back. He was kind-of super-human after all. He could do things no other ordinary person could.
"I'll do." Steve replied.
Meanwhile, Evan stepped back away from the door as guards continued to crash it open, trying to speak to Amelia but getting no reply as he heard her fighting someone.
"God damn it, Amelia-" Evan cursed, but then began to hear static. He winced as the loud noise beamed through his ears and he pulled the phone away from him, looking down at his phone with confusion, "-the hell?!"
He cursed under his breath when he realised that whoever Amelia was fighting had kicked her phone, causing her phone to break. "Oh god." Evan mumbled, his voice trembling as he worried about the healthy of the others and himself. Are they going to die? He thought. Am I going to die?
Evan now regretted that he didn't take the offer of a gun.
"Come on then, you bastards." Evan muttered, holding his hands out in defence, ready to fight whoever was outside the door, "I'm ready!"
As if on queue, the door fell open and two muscular guards slowly stepped in, a grin on there faces as the looked down at the small, fragile figure in front of them. One of them let out a low chuckle and clenched his fists at the easy target in front of them, but Evan just bounced on his feet, ready to attack them.
"What you waiting for? Scared?" Evan questioned, even though he was scared himself. The two guards glance at each other for a moment and laughed, before staring back at Evan. Thye go to step forward but suddenly there's a loud bang. A sound that can only be described as someone hitting their heads together.
Evan closes his eyes and waited for them to beat him up, but when nothing happened to him he opens them, peeking at the two guards in front of him to still stood there, frozen in place with a dazed facial expression on their faces.
A second later, they both fell forward and onto her faces, unconscious. Evan stood back as they fell, and looked down as they made impact with the hard floor. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked up to see who had knocked them out, and seeing the one and only Captain America standing in front of him, looking down at the two guards he just accomplished to defeat.
"I hate bullies." Steve said confidently.
Behind him was Amelia and Bucky, and Evan still had his arms out, ready to attack.
"Oh my..." Evan muttered in disbelief, letting his arms relax by his sides as he stared at Steve Rogers. He felt as if butterflies were going off in his stomach, he was so happy to see him.
"I would like to stand here and chat," Steve started, giving Evan a polite look, "but I believe we have an exit to make."
