Haunted || Bucky Barnes

Chapter 11

A/N: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER EPISODE 3 SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! So remember when I said I was trying not to fall behind too much with the series? Yeah... me too... but life said nope and here we are the day episode 6 came out (I'm still crying. It's fine, I'm fine, everything's fine!). Hopefully you all still are enjoying this book despite the slow updates (Thank you for over 1k reads by the way! That just doesn't feel real still)! I'm debating writing a prequel to this once I finish it and possibly even continuing the story rather than ending it the same way as the season did (because let's be real, I have so many ideas of things that could happen and want to explore it!). PLEASE let me know if you all would be interested in either of those ideas or tell me any feedback you all may have for me. I'd love to hear your thoughts/what you're liking about this story so far!

"With that bounty on your heads, the longer you're in Madripoor, the less likely you're going to be leaving." Sharon stated as the group weaved through shipping containers. Alyssa was constantly looking over her shoulder as she walked at the back of the group. She had an uneasy feeling in her gut from being out in the open. She could tell that Bucky felt the same way as he looked around, making sure there wasn't any sudden danger approaching.

"He's in there. Container 4261. I'll keep an eye out while you guys talk to Nagel, but hurry. We're on borrowed time." Sharon explained, giving everyone ear pieces.

"I'm staying with Sharon. I have a feeling she'll need the back up." Alyssa announced and Sharon nodded, already going to lookout.

"Are you sure?" Bucky asked quietly, grabbing Alyssa's arm before she could follow.

"I'm sure, Buck. Be safe." She said, giving him a reassuring smile. He simply nodded. She quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek before they headed in separate directions.

The boys entered the container just as Alyssa got to Sharon around the corner. She walked beside the agent as they scoped out the perimeter.

"Hey Sharon, you sure this is the right one? It's completely empty." Sam said, a slight echo coming through over the coms.

"Positive. It has to be." She replied. There was silence on the other end in response as they investigated the unit further.

"You make sure to bring enough weapons with you?" Sharon asked as she glanced around a corner before turning.

"Come on, Sharon, when have I ever been unprepared?" Alyssa shot back with a laugh. Music started playing into the coms indicating that the boys must have found something in the container.

"Just didn't know how out of practice you were given that you were retired not too long ago. Those two recruit you for this death wish of a mission?" She had lots of questions today.

"Retirement just didn't suit me, I guess." Alyssa shrugged, looking over her shoulder. She swore she could've heard movement from not so far away. "But yeah, Bucky and Sam needed me so I stepped up."

"I think you should've stayed out, but that's just my opinion. This is a dangerous game they've gotten involved with. The Power Broker isn't someone you want to mess with." She said turning to her. She could see the concern and a flash of annoyance on her face, but couldn't place why. She assumed it was because they had somehow managed to drag her into the mess in their typical fashion.

"Well, they are kind of drawn to danger, but then again so am I. We work well together so it kind of makes sense for me to tag along. Also I keep those two from killing each other half the time." Alyssa replied with a shrug.
