All of the new recruits were on board with the plan of going against the accords in order to try and stop the unknown man from reaching the other Winter Soldiers. All kinds of hell would break loose if he were to win. Well, everyone was on board except for Wanda, who didn't know that there was anything to be on board with yet, Clint would explain everything to her when he went to pick her up. Hopefully, she would follow him as Wanda would be a great asset to the team, plus Eleanor wanted to be able to clear the air with her before their likely run across the country, even if Steve says that won't happen. Though the group did feel guilty about dragging two of their friends into this mess, but it didn't feel like there was much of a choice if they wanted society to keep running as it is now.

Scott Lang, aka Antman, agreed and was on his way over to Clint, and Sharon was risking everything to give Steve and Sam their gear back. Eleanor had been expecting her to decline and use Steve's call to track them, she was a CIA Agent, after all, that would be the protocol that she would have to follow. But she decided to help them out, knowing that Steve wouldn't be asking her to stick her neck out for no reason.

So, the small Berlin group crowded into the tiny old car that they had arrived in and started heading over to the agreed-upon meeting place with Agent Carter. Unfortunately, Eleanor had been shoved in the back next to the super soldier who took up 95% of the backseat space. Sam pointed out that because she got to be in the front on the way there, it was only fair that he got to be in the front on this journey. Her face scrunched initially, wanting to argue her way into getting the front seat, but she knew that he was right. It was only fair.

So, she clambered into the backseat after Bucky and had her entire body shoved up against the side, his Michelin man sized body not leaving much room. Her face was completely void of emotion as she stared at Steve's headrest in front of her, trying her hardest to try and mentally remove herself from the space so that she can survive for the next hour whilst being turned into a pancake.

She had managed to successfully zone out for fifteen minutes before her attention was brought back by Sam saying her name in a sentence and laughing, she leaned over Bucky and popped her head in between the two front seats as best as she could, "Hm?". Sam turned to face her slightly with a smug smile, "Oh I was just saying how comfortable the front seat is and how lovely you are for swapping with me".

Her face formed a deep scowl, not appreciating the taunting after she had been so kind as to hand the seat over without so much as a rock, paper, scissors contest. So, she sat back in her seat and muttered "asshole", causing a slight smile to form on Bucky's face, but he also felt slightly guilty as he took up so much space. It really was a tiny car, they all cursed Steve for hijacking such a tiny one but apparently it was the first one he saw. Eleanor just wished he had turned his head even one degree to the side to see if there was another one nearby before picking up a car the size of a marshmallow.

Though she couldn't sulk for long, as the railway line that they needed to follow soon came into view, and Steve pointed it out to the group. They followed alongside of it for ten minutes before reaching the bridge that Sharon said she would be parked under, and soon enough the Audi that she had driven in came into view, and Eleanor wished that she was sitting in those comfortable seats.

Steve slowly pulled the car under the bridge and to a slow stop behind Sharon's car. Eleanor cracked her back as Steve and Sharon got out of their respective cars and walked over to the boot of her car, Bucky gave Eleanor a disturbed look as the loud crack of her now relieved spine sounded through the vehicle, and she just gave him a 'really' look considering he had seen terrible things as his time as the Winter Soldier.

The trio in the car couldn't hear what was going on between the two outside, so it was a rather boring thing to witness. It wasn't as though she could even get out of the car to stretch her legs as there were no back doors and the seat in front of her was stiff to move without Steve's strength, so unless Sam moved his ass she was trapped, and it wasn't likely that Sam was going to get out, the risk of Eleanor stealing her seat back was too high.
