Nat and I pull up to where Steve is, she rolls down the window as we both look out at him.

"Hey, fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is?" Nat starts to joke.

"We're here to pick up a fossil." I finish the joke, as we both give each other a high five.

"That's hilarious." Steve laughs, as he gets into the car. While the person he was with comes up to the car and greets us.

"How you doing?" He asks.

"Hey." We simultaneously reply.

Steve pokes his head out to speak to him. "Can't run everywhere."

"No, you can't." Nat pulls off of the curb and drives away.

The trio stood around the screen with some other SHIELD agents and began to listen when Rumlow started talking.

"The target is a mobile satellite launch platform: The Lemurian Star. They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them, 93 minutes ago." He started.

"Any demands?" Steve questioned.

"A billion and a half." He responded.

"Why so steep?"

"Because it SHIELD's." He informed them

"So it's not off-course, it's trespassing." Steve sighed.

"I'm sure they have a good reason." Nat pointed out.

"You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor." He continued.

"Relax, it's not that complicated." I replied, rolling my eyes.

"How many pirates?"

"Twenty-five, top mercs, led by this guy. Georges Batroc. Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties." Rumlow explained.

"Hostages?" Steve asked.

"Uh, mostly techs. One officer, Jasper Sitwell. They're in the galley."

"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship?" He questioned, no one in particular. "Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc. Nat and Tabbi you'll kill the engines and wait for instructions." He explained.

"'Cause I'm in charge." I whispered to Nat, making her snort at the comment. Everyone looked over to the ex-assassins but continued when they had no idea what the two were doing.

"Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get them out. Let's move." Steve continued, looking to the duo to see what the said but he just got ignored.
