Rollins moved first, his electroshock staff igniting as he turned quickly, hoping to stab Steve. Steve grabbed his shield first though, causing the metals to collide and Rollins to be pushed against part of the Strike team. While most of the men moved towards Steve, two of the men with briefcases next to Annabelle swung them and they collided with her face and stomach, sending her against the glass wall before their handles detached and pinned her wrists to the wall with the magnets. Some of the other men grabbed onto Steve, each holding an arm or his waist, one arm around his neck, as Rumlow stopped the elevator. Another electroshock stick turned on and collided with Steve's stomach while one of the men carrying the briefcase quickly detached the handle, using it to pin Steve's wrist to the side of the elevator. Steve managed to pull away from the wall right before it stuck, kicking one of the men holding him in the knee before jabbing another's throat. He kneed the man holding his other arm in the face, the second briefcase handle flying onto the wall above the now unconscious man's head. Annabelle ducked as one of the members of the Strike team aimed a punch for her head before she kneed him in the groin and kicked his stomach, sending him across the small space in the elevator, causing a few of Steve's attackers to end up on the ground. She pushed off of the wall next, lifting her lower body just enough so that she could get her calves and feet around one of the men's necks before twisting her body and flipping him to the ground, the hard floor rendering him unconscious. With an arm still around his throat, Steve kicked another man away as he rushed towards him with a few others, jabbing another in the face and knocking him into the window before slamming his head back against the person behind him, causing the man's head to collide with the glass wall before Steve flipped him over his shoulder and onto the floor. Before he could engage Rumlow, Rumlow kicked Steve's arm with the briefcase handle still attached, causing his arm to be pinned to the wall. Steve quickly grabbed his arm and tried to pull it off, but he had to turn away as he hit away the electroshock stick as Rumlow swung before he swung again, nailing Steve in the back with the electric current. Steve let out a yell of pain before swinging his elbow back and landing it on Rumlow's nose, sending him back across the elevator where Annabelle was still stuck. She pulled herself up using the magnets around her wrists so that she could wrap her legs around Rumlow's body, squeezing as tight as she could before twisting her body and sending his head into the glass beside her. She looked up to see Steve hit his last attacker to the ground before looking at her, both of their chests heaving. The look only lasted a moment before a few of the Strike team members stood back up. One of them went at Steve with the stick which he caught the hilt of, shoving it into the chest of one of the other men before using his pinned hand as leverage and pulling up on it as he jumped and kicked the two men in their chests, sending to the walls of the elevator and then to the ground. Annabelle focused on her next assailant, headbutting him as he came closer before grabbing his electroshock stick with her feet, attempting to curl her body up enough so that she could grab it with her hand. Steve caught the fist of another, twisting it before sending his head into the glass wall. Steve used the break as an opportunity to put both of his feet on the wall and pull his pinned wrist away before flipped off as it released. He landed in the middle of the elevator, elbowing a man in the face before punching the gut of another.
"Whoa, big guy," Rumlow said as he stood up, the electroshock sticks in his hands held out in front of him. "I just want you to know, Cap," he breathed out, "this isn't personal!" Rumlow shouted as he went to attack Steve again. Steve leaned to one side as the electroshock stick went past his head, Steve catching Rumlow's other arm. Rumlow stuck one of the sticks into Steve's stomach, making him grimace as he continued to fight back his other hand. Annabelle grunted as finally was able to get the shock stick into her hand, slamming it into the chest of one man as he stood back up before he went crashing to the ground again. Steve slammed his hand into Rumlow's elbow, the latter ducking as Steve tried to punch his face before being hit in the stomach again with the electric current. Annabelle suddenly thrust her feet forwards, managing to hook one of her legs onto Rumlow's knee, pulling it back and making him fall. Rumlow slammed his fist into ankle making her shout in pain and let go, giving Rumlow enough time to thrust the shock stick back into Steve's stomach. Both men yelled before Steve managed to land a punch on Rumlow's face, sending him to the ground before Steve picked him up and threw him to the ceiling, lights flickering as his body landed.
"It kinda feels personal," Steve panted.
"A little help here," Annabelle spoke up, twirling her wrists around to show she was still stuck.
"Right." Steve stepped on his shield, making it fly up to his arm. He hit the metal restraint on his arm off first and then undid her restraints, allowing her to fall to the ground.
"Geez," she let out quietly as she rubbed her ankle and Steve pushed a button on the elevator and she grabbed her staff. She turned as the elevator door opened to show a battalion of armed guards with their guns pointed straight at them.
"Drop the shield and staff and put your hands in the air!" one of them yelled. Steve glanced at Annabelle before twisting around and slamming his shield into the cables on the side of the elevator, causing them to drop rapidly. Finally, the emergency brakes kicked in between two floors and Steve pried open the doors, closing them again when they saw guards running towards them. He turned and walked towards the glass wall, looking out of it.
"Give it up, Rogers! Get that door open!" some guard yelled while pounding on the door.
"Please tell me you're not thinking what I think you're thinking."
"You have nowhere to go!"
"Steve," she tried again.
"Have a better idea?"
"Well I'd prefer one that doesn't involve us falling to our deaths!" The door started to groan as it was slowly pried open.
"Don't have time for another," he told her before turning and jumping through the window. Annabelle walked towards it, watching as he fell through another layer of glass on the building below.
"You gotta be kidding me," she let out before running and jumping after him. She squeezed her eyes shut as she fell through the layer of glass, feeling a few cuts already bleeding on her body. She opened her eyes in time to use her staff's hook to catch onto one of the ceiling beams and swing herself the rest of the way to the ground. She landed a few feet away from her brother who was slowly pushing himself up from the floor. "You good?" He only forced a smile and held up a thumb. "Then what are you waiting for?" she asked and they took off towards the garage, both of them climbing onto one of the motorcycles and barely making it through the closing bay doors. They continued down the street, looking up as a large ship made their way in front of them, guns coming out of the sides.
"Stand down, Captain Rogers. Stand down. Repeat, stand down." Steve only went faster, weaving through the bullets they shot.
"You gotta make a path through!" Annabelle shouted over the deafening sounds.
"Then you drive!" Annabelle climbed around him and took the wheel as he reached for his shield. He threw it, hitting one of the turbines on the side. "Hold it steady and meet me on the other side!" he yelled before standing and jumping onto the jet, ripping his shield out as Annabelle sped up and went under the jet as it started losing altitude. The ship suddenly flipped over and Annabelle glanced over her shoulder to see Steve being thrown to the other side before catching himself as he wedged the shield into the metal.
"Come on!" she shouted, moving closer and he flipped himself back up, hitting both of the engines before jumping off and landing on the ground next to her. "Come on! Let's go!" she shouted and he got on behind her and they took off.
So, major fight scene. Hope you liked it! Sorry it's a few days late, I'm on vacation.
