"How's it going with Schmidt?" Steve asked over the communicator to Bucky, the sounds of him fighting someone in the background.

Bucky sighed, fighting his way out of the facility. "Well, Baileys a fucking dumbass." He said, shooting his way through. "Everyone get to the truck, we have an issue."

The men all agreed and made their ways out of the facility after blowing it to dust, meeting in the truck like usual.

Steve was the first to notice baileys absence, about to take out his communicator to get to her. Bucky immediately stopped him.

"Buck what are you-"

"No." He said, "nobody try to contact her. She came up with this last minute plan and it's going to help us get Schmidt."

Dum dum looked at Bucky confused. "Don't tell me she went with him."
He said, "you let her go with him?!"

Bucky sighed, taking a deep breath. "I didn't exactly have a choice. Schmidt wanted to take both of us, but Bailey made him only take her." He said, running his hand through his hair. "She said that the staff and the communicators have a tracker, which would help us find her if the train isn't the next stop."

Steve nodded. "So she's being the human bait?"

"Exactly."

Pinky was sat up front driving while the others were in the back discussing the plan. Bucky was definitely on edge with fear, worried that he made a big mistake of letting her go.

"We get to the train.. then what." DumDum asked, "there's not exactly an easy way of getting on a moving train."

"Which is why me, Bucky, and Gabe will zip line down to the top of it." Steve said, "Gabe, your on Zola patrol. You find him and bring him right back to the truck. Bucky and I will focus on getting bailey back and safe."

Gabe nodded. "What if zola tries anything to get away?" He asked, "that guys an evil scientist. Anything's possible."

Bucky shrugged. "Not with him. He's not the fighting type, more of the manipulation and mind games type of guy." He pointed out. "Just don't let him get into your head."

The men continued discussing the plan when a small static of noise came from Steve's communicator. "St..ve I'm go..ing to tra...in." Baileys voice cut in and out of service.

Steve immediately took out his communicator and pressed to speak to her. "Bailey where are you?" He asked

"I'm in a trunk of a car." She whispered more clearly. "I think we are going to the train."

"Bailey I cant believe you." Bucky whispered into the communicator.

Bailey sighed. "James I cant believe me either." She whispered, sounding annoyed. "Next time, don't let me make impulsive decisions."

Bucky sighed and let out a small laugh. "There better not be a next time." He said, "can you hear anything?"

The line went silent as bailey listened for anything helpful, pressing her ear against the trunk door.

The voices of Schmidt and Zola speaking filled her ears the slightest bit. Their plan being spoken of.

"They want to kill me." She whispered, "it's a trap."

Bailey felt her anxiety starting to kick in, something that hasn't happened in a while. Her breathing grew to become heavy and shaky.

"Hey hey, calm down." Steve said over the communicator. "We are going to meet you at the train and make sure you don't get killed, alright?"

The girl nodded, even though she knew they couldn't see her. "Steven I'm counting on you right now." She said, "I better not fucking die."

Steve let out a nervous laugh. "Great.. I'm not feeling pressure at all." He said, trying to joke around but failing. "Ok ok, bad joke."

"Bullseye listen to me." Dumdum said, grabbing the device. "Once we get to the train, be ready to fight. After this last mission, we go back to the camp and prepare for the last facility."

"Mhm." She nodded. "And for gods sake, don't contact me unless I get to you first. It'll blow my cover, along with yours."

The men agreed. "Bails be careful." Bucky whispered, his stress level sky rocketing as he processed what was going on. "Promise me you'll be careful."

"I promise." She whispered. "I have to go before they notice I'm speaking. All of you boys get your rest. I'll try to as well but no promises on that."

"We'll be there soon darling." Bucky said before the line disconnected, a small sigh escaping his lips.

Each of the howling commandos were in high alert as they drove their way to where the train would be going, looking out for any sign of Schmidt.

Steve had forced Bucky to get some extra rest before they went into battle again. The only time that Bucky had actually slept between their missions was the previous one. All the other times he had just stayed awake for all twenty four hours of the day.

Bucky had argued for the first few minutes, saying how he was too worried to sleep. But Steve was able to shut him up by telling him that the mission would be at a high risk of failure if he didn't sleep.

"Your such a punk." Bucky sighed, moving his hat down to cover his eyes.

Steve smirked. "And your a jerk."

"And I'm hungry.. anyone have a snack?" Dum Dum said, each of the guys looking over to him. "Ok, too soon. Got it."
