Didn't take much time we got our hands on Sitwell without any problems. Me, Steve and Natasha took him top of the roof of very high building. The look on his face was priceless when he realized I'm the one with the two of the Avengers. Sitwell didn't seem to cooparate with us so well, playing all dumb. The door slams open as the super-soldier push him to the ground. "Tell me about Zola's algorithm." Steve demands and walks towards him. Us girls walk right behind the Captain. Sitwell quickly gets up and put his glasses back on;"Never heard of him." and starts walk backwards. "Doesn't sound very convincing." I stare at him with a smirk corner of my mouth. God how much I'm enjoying this. He stops right at the edge of the roof, almost loose his balance, but Steve grabs him by the coat, giving very intimidating look. Weak smile raises on Sitwell's lips;"Is this signual that you are going to throw me off the roof? C'ause it's not really your style Rogers...".

For a second Steve keeps looking at him in the eyes, and his face softens a bit;"You're right... It's not." and slowly takes his hands off of him. Sitwell starts smiling. Steve takes a step aside, revealing Natasha behind him;"It's hers." and she kicks him off the roof. Sitwell screams as he falls. Damn! My eyes widens as I watch this all happening. Then all three of us just stand there, hearing how his scream fades away. "How about that girl from counting? What was her name again..?" Natasha starts all of sudden. Steve puts his hands in his pockets;"Lillian? The one with the piercing?". "Yeah, she's cute." she says. "No, I'm not ready for that." he says. What on earth? They are talking about dating while there's a person falling down the building..? I love it.

Sitwell's scream gets louder. "Oh, here they come..." I cross my arms. Falcon flies over our heads and drops the screaming man to the ground. So cool! Sitwell raises himself on his knees, shaking from fear:"Zola's algorithm is a program! It's choosing its targets..." he whimpers. "What targets?" Steve keeps stern tone. "Anyone who's a threat to HYDRA... Now and in the future." he tries to settle his breathing. "In a future? How could it know?" Steve frowns. Sitwell lets out a laugh and shake his head. I take two intimidating steps towards him. He flinches:"How could it not?!" and gets up. "20's century is digital book. Zola told HYDRA how to read it." he says. All four of us look at him little bit confused what was he talking about. "Your back records... Medical histories, voting patterns, e-mails, your damn phone calls." he tells. "Zola's algorithm valuetis people's past to predict their future...". Steve first looks at Natasha and back to Sitwell:"What then?". Sitwell stays quiet for a moment, then starts to panic:"Oh my God, Pierce's going to kill me...". Steve takes a step towards him:"What then?" raising his voice a bit. Sitwell start to backup, but Sam stops him by grabbing by his coat. "Then the inside helicarrier scrach the people off the list. Half million at a time". What?! This is way bigger than I ever thought..!

Our Falcon quickly got up on his wings to inform Stark everything after Steve told him to. We took Sitwell with us in the car. I'm driving, Steve sits next to me and Natasha in the back seat with the bold man. Driving on a highway, towards the building where they are going to launch the helicarries. There is no time to waiste, so my job for now is to take the Avengers there and they'll deal with it. "So what now? They are lauching in 16 hours... We are kind of running out of the time." Natasha leans forward. "I know, we're using by past the dna scans to access the helicarriers directly." Steve says. Me and Natasha nod. Sitwell raise his eyebrows;"What?! Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible idea.". Rolling my eyes:"Oh shut u..-", a heavy thud comes from top of the car. Huh?!

No time to react; a window shatters and Sitwell gets yanked out of the car. "WHAT TH-?!" I yell eyes wide. Natasha sees pair of legs climbing back top of the car. "What is happening?!" I ask in panic, trying to focus on driving at the same time. Who ever that was starts shooting thru the sealing. With quick moves Natasha unlock the seatbelt and jumps to the front seat on Steve's lap. The shooter tries to shoot Steve and me, but Natasha quickly covers Steve's head against her chest and kicks my head out of the way. Bullets goes thru both of our headrest. "Fuck!!" I yell and yank the handbrake and the shooter goes flying. Hitting their back once on the hard concrete, making a backflip. A loud metal squeak comes as they slide while holding one of their hand against the ground.

All three of us now stare in shock the person in front of us. Don't tell me..! They slowly get up. Their face is covered with some goggles and black mask. My heart drops. The Winter Soldier!!! "Steve..?" I ask. Steve stays still, as shock as rest of us. Natasha pulls out her gun from her jeans and aims. Much bigger car hits back of our vehicle, the sudden impact makes me let out a scream. Natasha drops the gun to the floor. It wasn't accidental hit, the car behind us won't stop. Must be HYDRA! Trying my best to keep the wheel straight. Our car gets pushed forward, towards The Winter Soldier. Oooh shit, shit, shit, shit. Just when the car is about to hit, The Winter Soldier jumps up high in the air and lands on top of the car. The roof presses down a bit and rearwindow shatters. "Aah!!" I scream. In panic Natasha starts to look for the gun.

Then the metal arm goes thru the sealing and snatches the wheel out of my hands. All of your eyes widens, "SHIT!" I shout. Finally Natasha gets the gun and starts shooting at the direction where the enemy is. They jump off, landing on the car right behind. Our car starts to loose its balance. Cold sweat starts to raise side of my head;"Guys..!". The car hits side of a betony wall. Steve gathers me and Natasha in his arms:"Hang on!". The Captain pushes the door next to him with the shield. Just when the car starts to flip, all three of us drop out of it and land on the solid ground. Holding on to Steve for my dear life as all three of us slide on his shield. Natasha looses the grip and flies off the ride. The shield slides few more seconds before it stops. "You're alright?" Steve asks quickly and helps me to get up. "Yeah..!" I say in shock.

Enemies car stops and some men gets out of it. The Winter Soldier jumps off it and starts walking towards us. One of the guys hands him a big gun. That's not good..! He aims and shoots right at us. Steve pushes me out of the way:"Move!" and goes behind his shield, taking the hit. BOOM-! "Steve!!!" I scream and see how he flies off of the bridge. Having no time to stay still I run hide behind one of the cars that is left in middle of the road. Bullets starts flying as the enemy approaches. They have at least seven shooters along with the Winter Soldier. Fuck, fuck, shit. Natasha also hides behind one of the cars. We lock eyes from distance, both of us thinking what's next? I have no weapon against them. Then Natasha makes run for it. She runs thru the bullet rain to me. "Go, go, go!" she keeps yelling at me to start running with her.

Both of us run behind another car to take a cover. "Here. You know how to use it." Natasha hands me one of her guns. "Yeah." quickly I load it. Then I peek out from our hide for a second and get two guards down. "You sure you're not the assassin?" she teases. "Haa-haa, very funny." I say sarcasticly. Natasha sees they are about to shoot with the big gun once again. "You trust me?" she asks all of sudden. I lift my eyes on hers:"Huh?". The Soldier aims at us. "I take that as a 'yes'." she gives me a quick smirk and pulls me into a hug. What the- ? Then we jump off of the bridge. My heart drops and eyes goes wide:"NAAAATT--!!!", we are falling down. The Winter Soldier shoots at the car and it exploses. Quickly Natasha shoots a hook out of her wrist, it sticks under the bridge and we both land properly to the road underneath it. My legs feels like a jellow right now. "...Don't ever do that again!" I hiss confused. Then Natasha turns to look at the end of the bridge:"Steve must be in there somewhere.". There's a bus that has fallen down. That must be where Steve flew when he got hit. We start running towards it.

Then something catches my eye, I stop immediately and place my arm in front of Natasha to stop running too. She says nothing but turns to look at me confused. There is a shadow, right edge of where the bridge ends. The Winter Soldier is looking down, ready to snipe us if anyone comes out. Soldier's eyes lifts to the bus, thinking the Captain America must still be inside. He gets ready to shoot, but a bullet comes out of nowhere CLINCK-! and quickly he goes hide. "Nice shot (Y/N)." Natasha gives a quick, aproving smile and continues to run towards the bus. Hope that'll keep him away. I run after her. The Winter Soldier is sitting down and takes off his goggles. There is fissure on them. Eyes fills up with rage. He gets up and starts shooting rapidetly with the gun. "I think you made him more angry..." Natasha says mischievously. "Shut it!" I snap back. The fear inside me keeps growing.

HYDRA's agents tries to shoot us, but we are too far. "Keep your distance and go hide. I'll get Steve." Natasha orders and continues running the other way. "No problem!" I keep running forward. This is not how I wanted to spend my Thrusday! The enemy stares on the bridge at us for a moment. He sees how we've split up. "Go get those two. I'll get the girl."  Winter Soldier orders the agents in Russian. Then he jumps off the bridge, landing on a car. His eyes full on focus coming after me. There are few people running and screaming on the streets. With very limited hiding places I go behind a car. Trying to keep my breathing steady and quiet. God, it's been a while last time I ran like this...
