As she runs up and up the stairs, to the emergency exit, Marcella's eyes widen. The sound of a helicopter fills her years. She speeds to the top level and opens the door to see Captain America himself, holding down the helicopter from flying away.
Well, god damn. What a view.
Marcella runs over to Steve and jumps up to grabs a hold on the helicopter too. He looks at her, as half of the stress on his body his released. She helps him pull it in, almost to the ground.
"I have to wake him up from this and get him away from here!" She screams to Steve. "This isn't his fault!"
Steve doesn't get the chance to nod before Marcella's letting go of the helicopter and reaching for the door. The only way to get out of here is to either drag Bucky's ass out or jump in with him and hit him really hard in the head. Both equally as dangerous. Through the window she sees Barnes's face. She knows was he's going to do, she can read it off him.
"Don't you dar—"
There's practically a smile on his face as he lets go of the stick and turns it towards them instead. The sound almost blows her ear drums as the helicopter wings hit the cement building.
"Get down!" Marcella yells as she pulls Steve down before the wings almost slice them.
When the dust settles and everything stops, Marcella breaks away from Steve and looks closer at the window. The Winter Soldier was waiting. Bucky's hand, the titanium arm, breaks through the glass and wraps around her throat. Her airways are cut off as he digs the prosthetic fingers into her skin.
There's a shift of weight and the helicopter starts to slip backwards itself backwards off the building. Marcella hits at the window and hits at Barnes arm. "James!" She wheezes. The Winter Soldier holds on almost tighter as the helicopter starts to go down. Steve was trying to keep the helicopter up but gave up to help Marcella. He grabs Barnes's hand and finally pulls it free from Marcella's bruising neck. Marcella sucks in a huge breath of air. Her head felt dizzy and her vision was blotchy. She feels a hand push her back onto the roof, she barely makes it before the helicopter completely falls.
Bucky had let go of Marcella's neck, only to grab Steve's shirt instead, pulling his old friend down to the water with him.
Marcella runs to the end of the ledge and looks over it. There's a large crashing noise as the helicopter falls into the water below. Her throat aches and as she tries to learn to breath again. She searches for any sign of Steve and Bucky. When there's nothing, something inside Marcella makes her feel a sort of pain she hadn't felt in a long time. Not since that mission, the night she remembered everything, the night when they made those promises.
