"How could have this happened? I thought this building was suppose to be the most secure place in the world?" Panted Sam, feeling very out of breath

"I don't know but we need to get down there now. And fast." responded Steve

Steve raced down the corridor accompanied by Sam and of course Bucky.  Bucky found himself wondering how he had gotten himself into this mess.

Up until 30 minutes ago, the three of them had been enjoying a relaxing afternoon, with the occasional bickering from Sam and Bucky, when Steve abruptly received a call from Fury asking for them to come into the new SHEILD Head-quarters.

Upon arriving they were greeted with not a hello, but with a tablet broadcasting CCTV camera footage being shoved under their noses. Quite literally. It was the footage from SHEILD's underground storage facility, Where all sorts of thing were kept , from guns from the chitauri's attack on New York with Loki, to confiscated illegal mass weapons of destruction.

  Bucky thought that this was quite rude since they had come here with no notice at all, while all Sam could think about was how cold it was in Fury's office.

Watching the CCTV footage on the iPad that had been pushed into their hands, showed Guards that were patrolling the corridors suddenly trip over what appeared to be nothing. Their guns were snatched from a guard and bullets went off trying to hit this invisible force. It was chaos. Bullets going off accompanied by the occasional yell from the guards. The invisible force didn't appear to be very strong as they watched it struggle to drag the lid off one of the crates, hoping to acquire something new.

Bucky's eyes widened suddenly became aware of his own breath. He had only seen something like this once before, but he had never told anyone about it. Not even Steve

This began to happen to a second crate's lid when Steve asked, "Is this live?"

The look in Fury's eye was all they needed to jump into action.


And this was how they found themselves, a few minutes later, sprinting down the corridor leading to the storage facility. 

The lights flickered overhead when they suddenly went out. The dim red glow that illuminated the path in front of then was all they needed to know that they were in trouble.

"What the hell was that?" asked Bucky

"Someone's cut the power, those are the back-up generators on" replied Sam, continuing to sprint at an even faster pace. It was hard trying to keep up with two men.

They burst through the door to the storage facility ( well I say 'door' It was rather a large metal clunky gate - but having 2 super solider on the team really helped ) only to be greeted with the sight of destruction. Bodies were strewn everywhere, groaning in pain. Bucky winced, thinking about how painful that would be.

The red light shone down on the three men. Bucky peered into the darkness trying to see what lay ahead. At first what he thought was the size of a room, turned out to be the size of a warehouse.  Thousands of crates and metal shipping containers filled the room. Trying to find their way through here was a no-go, it was like a maze, and while Sam could fly, the others could not.

"Hello?" asked Sam, his voice echoing through the warehouse rather loudly

"Well done, you've just alerted our presence to the enemy" said Bucky sounding rather annoyed. Sam was always like this.

"Alright metal man, just trying to do my job here" clapped back Sam

"Guys, now is not the time" chimed in Steve sounding exasperated. It was like trying to babysit children. Except the children were from hell, and all they did was argue.
