Maria sets off a high frequency towards the control room to lure one of the technicians out of the room. The door opens to Sam, Maria and I pointing our guns at the technician and his eyes widen in fear.

"Excuse us" Steve smiles politely.

The technician holds his hands up in surrender and moves out the way, letting us walk into the room without a fight. Steve heads straight towards the PA system and holds down the button.

"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers" Steve announces "You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth"

Steve looks up at me and I nod encouragingly for him to continue.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control"  Steve explains "They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them"

"I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not" Steve finishes and I smile at him proudly.

"Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?" Sam asks with a grin.

"That's my best friend" I coo, hitting Steve's back playfully.

"Follow me" Steve orders.

Sam and I listen, following Steve out of the building.

"They're initiating launch" Maria declares through our earpieces.

"Shit" I curse.

"Hey, Cap, how do we know the good guys from the bad guys?" Sam asks as we jog towards the helicarriers.

"If they're shooting at you, they're bad" Steve replies simply and I snort in amusement.

Sam's wings come out and he flies off to one of the further away carriers while Steve and I leap onto the closest one. We're immediately shot at and Steve covers us with his shield until we reach a bunch of storage units.

I feel a presence behind me so I turn and immediately throw a punch, hitting the agent in the face. He stumbles back and his friend tries to grab me but I sweep him off his feet, sending a kick to his ribs. I bend down and press my fingers onto a pressure point, sending the man to sleep. The first guy recovers, throwing a punch at me and I duck, punching him in the stomach. While he's distracted, I use the same pressure point on him and he slumps to the ground.

An explosion catches my attention and I turn, running towards Steve.

"Hey, Cap, I found those bad guys you were talking about" Sam jokes.

"You okay?" Steve asks.

"I'm not dead yet" Sam replies vaguely.

"That's great then" I reply.

"You and I have two different definitions to the word great" Sam retorts, making me roll my eyes with a smile.

A group of five agents run at Steve and I, firing at us. Steve puts up his shield and I grab the closest agent to me, using him to shield myself from the rain of bullets.

"Ana!" Steve scolds me.

"He's already dead!" I defend myself.

The firing stop as they reload and I use the break to drop the man I'm holding, running at the agents. Steve and I take them all out, fists pummelling into them.

"Falcon, status?" Maria inquires.

"Engaging" Sam replies "All right, Cap. I'm in"

"Oh, shit" He then adds as I run across the deck of the helicarrier, knocking out every agent that gets in my way.

I grab two agents, smashing their heads together so hard their helmets break and they collapse unconscious.

"Eight minutes, Cap, Novikov" Maria informs us.

"Working on it" Steve assures her.

We enter the carrier and as fast as we can, we make our way to the core of the ship. I cover Steve as he replaces one of the original chips with Fury's.

"Alpha lock" He declares and pats my back.

We sprint back out to the deck, getting ready to fight once again.

"Falcon, where are you now?" Maria asks.

"I had to take a detour" He answers and a few minutes later he says "I'm in. Bravo lock"

"Two down, one to go" Maria announces "Charlie carrier is 45 degrees off the port bow"

"Six minutes" She adds.

"Thanks for the reminder" I grumble, kicking an agent off the carrier.

"Hey, Sam, gonna need a ride" Steve yells, tugging me as he runs past.

I notice a bunch of agents pointing a large looking gun at us and my eyes widen as I start running with Steve.

"Roger. Let me know when you're both ready" Sam tells us as we jump off the carrier.

"He just did!" I shout, falling through the sky.

I'm scooped up into Sam's arms before he grabs Steve's arm, groaning at the weight. He drops us onto the deck of the last carrier before landing next to us.

"You know, you're a lot heavier than you look" Sam states sassily.

"I had a big breakfast" Steve defends himself while I shrug.

"How else do you expect me to flip trucks?" I retort, making Sam roll his eyes.

All of a sudden, James appears and Steve is thrown off the carrier, my eyes widening in shock.

"Steve!" Sam yells, trying to fly down and get him.

James grabs one of Sam's wings, flinging him backwards. Sam pulls out his guns and starts shooting at the man while I look over the edge for any sign of Steve.

I hear a loud groan from behind me and I turn to see James pull Sam onto the decking, ripping off on of his wings. He then kicks the man off the carrier and my heart drops.

"Sam!" I gasp.

I spin around to James and he glares at me through his cold steel eyes.

they've wiped him again

I run at him, ready to put up a fight but he just grabs my arm and flips me onto my back. A groan escapes my lips but he doesn't stop, he kicks my body so hard that I'm sent tumbling over the edge. A scream rips through my throat as I fall but it gets caught in my windpipe as someone grabs my hand. I look up in surprise to see Steve.

"My hero" I breathe out and he smiles warmly.

"Cap! Ana! Guys, come in. Are you okay?" I hear Sam ask through my earpiece.

"Yeah, I'm here" Steve responds, pulling me fully up "We're still on the helicarrier"

"Where are you?" I ask in concern.

"I'm grounded. The suit's down. Sorry, guys" He apologises.

"Don't worry. We got it" Steve assures him.

"Rumlow's going for the council" Maria snaps.

"I'm on it" Sam replies.

Steve and I reach the core of the ship and my heart thumps against my chest in anxiety when I see James blocking our path.

"People are gonna die, Buck" Steve declares "I can't let that happen"

"Please don't make us do this, James" I plead.

He shows no signs of surrendering, my heart dropping as I realise what happens next.

Steve throws his shield at the man but he deflects it with his metal arm before shooting at us. I narrowly miss the bullet, dropping to the ground as Steve throws a punch at the man.

James continues shooting at Steve who misses them by using his shield and I pull out my own gun, firing at the metal armed man. He fires back at me, Steve using that distraction to punch him in the face but James recovers quicker than he expected shooting at him. The bullet grazes Steve's side and he retaliates by hitting the dark haired man with his shield.

James is sent flying backwards and I run forward to check Steve is okay. He gives me a reassuring nod before I decide it's my turn.

"Come on, big guy. Show me something new" I taunt him and he pulls out a blade, running at me "Well that's certainly not new"
