Running Fearless ( Avengers Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Katie always thought it was strange how emotions could make themselves manifest physically of their own accord. She tried sleeping, but it seemed her mind wanted to stay awake. When they finally made it to Jersey for some reason she got nervous. They were moments away from possibly finding out what SHIELD was hiding and she was nervous. Her mind went to all the possibilities and none of them put her at ease.

The moment they pulled up in front of the camp, everything seemed to get quiet. No one said a word as they stepped out of the truck and walked toward the gated building. Katie glanced over to Steve who couldn't tear his eyes away from the dilapidated building, his shield gripped tight in his hand. She figured that seeing this place, seeing where it all started for him must have been strange.

"How you doing Steve?" Katie asked walking along side of him.

"It's still a little strange," Steve said looking up to the building. "I remember being here like it was yesterday, but here it is ninety years later." he looks back down to Katie. "I guess I will always be a man out of time."

"The file came from these coordinates?" Natasha asked looking back to Steve and Katie.

"Yeah," Steve replied with a nod as he looked back up to the building. "So did I."

"So, how are we going to get on the other side?" Katie asked looking to the tall gate. Both Steve and Natasha look back at her as if it were obvious. When she finally did catch on she turned back to the fence and let out a sigh.

"Don't worry," Natasha said walked up to the gate and beginning to climb. "If you fall, I'm sure you'll die on impact."

"Thanks for those reassuring words." Katie said walking over to the fence.

"Don't worry, I'll be right behind you." Steve said and Katie gave him a nod.

"Just don't get distracted by the asses and I'm sure I'll make it over this fence alive." Katie said as she began climbing the fence. Steve stood there a moment a little shocked by her words before shaking it off and climbing the fence. He found himself trying not to look above him as he did.

The camp was big, and they soon found themselves losing daylight as they searched for whatever they should be finding.

"This is a dead end." Natasha said holding up her cell phone looking for any sign of life the could've been here. "Zero heat signatures, zero waves, not even radio." she looked over to Katie. "Whoever made the file must have made a router to throw people off."

"Possible." Katie replied letting her eyes scan over the camp.

"Or you got it wrong," Natasha said and Katie turned to the woman. "Which is also possible, seeing as you did suffer a head injury recently."

"Natasha-" Steve said his tone full of warning.

"What is your problem?" Katie asked angrily as she stalked toward the woman. "I have done nothing but try to make sense of all of this and all you seem to want to do is bitch and throw around these snide remarks."

"Guys can we not do this now." Steve said walking between the two women. "I get we're all a little tired and frustrated, but-" Steve eyes caught something that shouldn't be. "That's not suppose to be there." without further explanation the man just walks off. Katie and Natasha share a look before following after him.

"Mind sharing with the rest of the class, Steve?" Katie asked as they walked over to one of the buildings.

"Army regulations forbid the storing of munitions within five hundred yards from the barracks." Steve said. "This building is in the wrong place." They walked to the door all searching for a way to open it, when suddenly Steve sent his shield into the lock.
