Chapter twenty three - Ready.

Amelia pulls out Evan's card that had been sitting in her pocket next to her phone for the last two hours. All three were now dressed in opulent and classy clothes that they had bought from a immaculate shop near by and well, let's just say the money on Evan's card was nearly gone. Amelia was dressed in skinny, high-wasted  black formal trousers, a white polo shirt that was tucked into her trousers and a black blazer. She didn't want to wear any heels so just stuck her black converses on, hoping no one thought anything of it. Bucky and Evan were already wearing black jeans so they just bought a white polo shirt, a tie (well, Evan wore a bowtie,) and each wore a black blazer. They too didn't even buy any shoes so Bucky just wore his combat boots and Evan wore his black pair of vans.

"Here goes nothing," Amelia says, swiping her card across the key card reader hesitantly. They all then turn their heads around and all engage in conversation, acting casual so no one got suspicious. Bucky wondered what he would do when security come. There was CCTV watching so he would have to grab their key cards from a place where he wouldn't be in camera's view. It didn't take long for the security to come. Bucky heard a metal door open and close from around the corner where he knew that's where the security were coming from. His heart began to race, like his heart was on a racing track and at the finish line was Steve. Thing is- he wasn't sure if he was ready to compete with everyone else, I mean, was he really ready to face HYDRA again? After all they done to him?

"Wait here." Bucky instructs, so again CCTV don't think they're up to something. He alone rushes around the corner of the building before the security men could turn the corner and meet the others. The two security men stop in their tracks when they see Bucky, wondering why he would come around the corner to greet them first before the security men even reached it. They had no idea who Bucky was, suppose they didn't recognise him.

"What's going on?" The one inquires, folding his giant arms over one another. Before they could say another word Bucky grabbed one of their heads and pushed it down forcefully onto his knee, instantly knocking the security guard out. The other looks startled and quickly reaches for his walkie-talkie to inform the other HYDRA agents about their attack, but Bucky swings his leg in the air and collides his foot with the security man's face, the leather of his boot smacking right of the man's temple. The man falls to the floor helplessly and closes his eyes as unconsciousness fell upon him, then Bucky crouched down beside them both and took one of their key-cards.  

Evan and Amelia waited patiently for his return. He was back in under a minute, but didn't hold up the card in case the security watching CCTV were looking. He walked in front of Amelia and Evan and waved the card in front of the key-card reader. A flash turned green and suddenly the automatic doors opened, causing Amelia, Evan and Bucky to glance at each other.

There was no turning back now. They were going to find Steve.

"I can't believe we're doing this," Evan comments in a quiet voice as they walk through the building, passing reception and a few people who were carrying briefcases, "I can't believe I'm doing this. I don't think I can- I need to go back to my car. Guys I'm going to fuck this all up."

"You're not going to fuck anything up," Amelia tells him, being careful to keep a straight face as they walked into the elevator, "calm your tits."

"No." Evan hisses back as all three of them turn on their heels and face the view where they had just walked. The elevator doors slowly close, blocking all sounds from the outside as it started to raise higher, "Does anyone even know where the CCTV room is?"

"We'll find it." Bucky replies, trying to reassure him although it did nothing to control Evan's heart beat that was slamming against his ribcage like a wild Northern Cardinal was trying to escape the cage it had found itself in.

Finally, the doors open and they find themselves on the second floor.

They're surprised that the corridor was empty. There were quite a few rooms on each side of the wall so Amelia figured that people were busy in there. She didn't even want to know what they were doing in these rooms. They silently walked along the quiet corridor, looking at each of the rooms, seeing if it had 'Control Room' or 'CCTV' written on. Two visored guards came round the corner, which made the three stop what they were doing and start to immediately try to act normal. 

The guard squinted his eyes at Bucky as he walked past, knowing he had seen his face from somewhere. Suddenly he stopped and slammed the other guards chest with his hand to halt him, "Isn't that Zola's experiment?"

Amelia and Evan didn't know how to react. Amelia gritted her teeth at the name they used to address Bucky as, but the three carried on walking- sticking to the plan to be casual.

"Hey, you!" The one called. They all stopped walking and slowly they turned around, reviling themselves. The two guards walked up and examined them, taking in all their features.

"And that's that girl that was with him!" The one quickly realised, and reached for a weapon that was kept in a holster. 

Before the men could react or call for backup, Amelia's head lurched as she dodged to the side and slammed her forearm into her attacker's throat, then delivered a kick to his head. She looked down at his body as he fell roughly onto the floor, noticing he was unconscious. Bucky finished subduing his own opponent and glanced at her, a small smirk playing on his face.

"I guess the moves I taught you did come in handy."

Despite the situation they were in, Amelia couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle. Evan, however, was still shocked by what happened and his breathing had quickened, "I wish you taught me those bloody moves."

Amelia and Bucky shook their heads, a small smile on their faces. Bucky then checked one of the rooms, opening it and peeking inside to see who was in there. He opened the door wider when he found that it was just a store cupboard, and then told Amelia and Evan to grab one of the bodies and put them into the small room. Amelia and Evan quickly grabbed one of the guys, struggling to hold his weight and then they literally chucked him into the storage cupboard. Bucky took the small, throwing knifes that the one guy had and kept in his holster for himself in case he ever needed them, and also took his hand gun just in case. Then Bucky through the guard over his shoulder like the man was as light as a feather, then chucked him in the storage cupboard along with the other guard as well. After locking up he looked at Evan and gave him the gun he had picked up, knowing Evan would need it more.

"I- I don't know how to use it." Evan admits, staring at the gun hopelessly.

"You work for S.H.I.E.L.D and don't know how to use a gun?" Amelia asks him, unbelievably. 

"I was the computer guy!" He justifies. Bucky holds the gun up so Evan could see it and starts to show him how he should use the lethal weapon.

"It's pretty simple. You just do this," he pauses, moving the gun to show him how to use it, "then you aim it and pull the trigger."

"...I think you should keep a hold off it." Evan says, pushing the gun back towards Bucky. Bucky shrugs, then buries the gun in his back pocket.

"Suit yourself. Those guards had badges on from the control room, we took out four so now there should be at least one left. Shouldn't be far now."

And it really wasn't. They all moved forward and continued their mission, carrying on down the corridor and turning right instead of left, and then seeing a dead end with one door that simply has the words 'CCTV room' plastered on. Bucky puts his hand on the door handle, looking at the others to see if they were ready. Amelia and Evan nod, then Bucky quickly opens the door to see one last security guard as expected. He was sitting on a wheelie chair, with his arms crossed lazily until Bucky opened the door and startled him. 

"Oh my go-" Before the last guard could even finish his sentence or holds his hands up in defence, Bucky raises his leg and full on kicks him in the face, making the man fly off his chair and onto the floor. The three then just stare at him for a moment, as if he would wake up in any second, but it was likely that he wouldn't be awake for awhile after the kick Bucky just gave him.

"And what if he wakes up?" Evan questions, still staring at the guard on the floor. Bucky raises his eyebrow and reaches his hand to his back pocket and holds up the gun again, not taking his eyes of the guard.

"And it's still a no."

Bucky puts the gun back in his back pocket. "Alright then, from here you can see every room in the building- except for the private ones as it's top secret. That's why we can't see Steve, but if we look here," Bucky points to a screen on the wall, showing live footage of six armed guards blocking an entrance to a door, "I'm taking a wild guess that Steve is in there."

"Well, one, that's on the top floor. And two- anything could be in that room."

"There's a man in there who they can turn into a master soviet assassin, of course it's going to be armed. He's strong, and they're trying to get information out of him for my return. So yeah, that's my wild guess. Unless they're training monkeys to kill in there."

Amelia pulls her phone out and sticks her earphone in her ear, and Evan does the same, ignoring Bucky's comment and clicking her contact number, ringing her, "So now you can tell us where to go and such, and tell us where more guards and agents are so we don't run into them."

"I've never had so much responsibility before." Evan comments, feeling excited and powerful, "I won't muck this up."

"You better not, bruh." Amelia warns, patting his back, "We're going to lock the door now so people can't get in. You all set up?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine."

"Okay." Bucky says, grabbing the key that was on the table in the room. Amelia steps out of the room and both of them smile a goodbye at Evan before Bucky grabs the door handle.

"Good luck!" Evan quickly says, before the door is shut. Bucky puts the key in the lock and twists it, successfully hearing a click before shoving the key in his pocket. He glances at Amelia, who could hear Evan through her earphones. Amelia put her phone under her shirt and tucked it in her bra so it wouldn't fall out if she was fighting someone. The wire of her earphones were also tucked under her shirt, so it just came out of the collar of her polo shirt and into her ear.

"Ready?" Bucky questions, badly wanting to touch her cheek with his thumb to reassure her that it would be fine, but he restrained himself. Amelia smiled and hesitantly nodded.

"Ready."
