The Assassin Shadow - Bucky Barnes

Chapter 12

We walk to a small hidden parking lot with only one car. The vehicle is very old, I'm pretty sure it's from Steve's and papa's years. We get inside it. Uncle Stevie is driving and Sam is in the passenger seat. My dad is in the back with me on his lap. The engine starts to run and we leave. It has been a long time that we are driving and Sam's asleep.

"When do we get there?" I ask.

"Soon, don't worry, sweetie." Stevie answers. "Oh, before I forget when we arrive I have a surprise for you."

"Really? What is it?" I ask, excited.

"It's not a surprise for nothing, doll." My father says to me with a chuckle.

"But I just want to know!"

We all start laughing. I finally feel happy again.

"Jeez, laugh louder, it's not like I'm asleep."

We all laugh even more and Sam rolls his eyes. I think that I found my favorite people. Of course, papa is my number 1. We continue driving until Steve parks under a bridge near a black car. Captain America gets out of the car when a blond girl comes out of the other car. But I know this woman. It's Sharon! They start talking. I feel that there is an uncomfortable feeling.

"Can you move your seat up?" My dad asks Sam.

"No."

I don't understand anything but my father sighs and moves a little so that his legs don't get squeezed anymore. We all concentrate on Steve and Sharon again. At some point, Uncle Stevie leans towards the woman and kisses her. Disgusting.

"Finally!" Sam says.

"EWW!" I say right after Sam.

My father and our new friend laugh. Sharon goes back to her car while Steve looks at us. My dad and Sam nod as they approved what he did but I just fake a gag. What's the point of kissing someone? It's just disgusting. Steve rolls his eyes. I don't know if it's because of the boys or me. Or maybe all three of us. He gets back in the car and there's an awkward silence.

"So?" Sam asks.

"Since there's a child in this vehicle, I will not say anything." Steve answers.

"Alright, stop talking and drive before you say anything else." My father says while putting his hands on my ear so that I don't understand anything.

"Right. Let's go."

We drove for a while again before entering the parking lot of an airport.

"Alright, Lydia, we didn't have any child suits that's why Sharon didn't bring any but I got someone to make you one because we're going to fight, okay?" Steve says, turning towards the back of the car.

"Wait, she's 7. She's not going to fight for something that isn't even her battle." My dad says.

"Papa, I have to. People are in danger and I'm powerful, you guys are gonna need me."

"If anything happens to her, I'll hold you responsible, you know that?"

"I know. I don't want her to fight either but we really need her powers."

A van comes next to us. A man and a young lady come out.

"That's our friends, we can get out."

Uncle Steve gets out of the car and follows Sam, my dad and I. My dad stays behind the car but I follow Sam in front of the car.

"That's a child?" The guy that was talking to Stevie says looking at me.

"I didn't ask for a child's suit for nothing."
