Steve blasted through the trees on his motorcycle. The cold wind hit his face and dried his lips. Up ahead Steve saw a wire laying across the road, he knew it alerted Hydra that someone had entered the premises. Without hesitation, Steve road across it. This was all part of the plan.

In his mirrors he saw two Hydra soldiers on motorcycles cashing after him, the wire having alerting them to his presence. He pressed a button on the bike that sent flames shooting out of the exhaust and left a train of fire behind him. The nearest soldier caught fire and veered off into the trees. Steve could just make out the soldier driving off a cliff.

The final rider pulled up along side Steve and pulled a grenade out of his saddlebag. Steve reached across them and yanked it from his grasp. The man fought against him but Steve punched him in the jaw. The Hydra soldiers helmet fell in front of his eyes, blinding him and causing him to slow down. Steve pulled the pin out of the grenade and threw it at the Hydra bike. A deafening BOOM went off as Steve road away.

Up ahead of him was the Hydra base. Alarms where blaring, alerting the entire compound to his presence. But Steve didn't care, again, this was all part of the plan. A soldier shot at Steve but he quickly returned the fire and the man fell back, dead.

Barb wire completely surrounded the building, but that didn't deter Steve. There was a gun emplacement to his left, he speed up his bike and jumped off it, landing on the other side of the barbwire. Upon landing, Steven crushed one guard and another lay motionless from the whipping barbwire.

Another guard aimed a bazooka at him but Steve brought up his shield and deflected it. The shot bounced back at the guard and killed him. In all the chaos, Steve didn't notice a guard shoot his tires until it was too late. He fell forward over the handle bars.

It took him a moment to stand up and find his bearings only to discover that he was surrounded by a dozen Hydra soldiers who quickly attacked him from all sides.

But was okay, it's all part of the plan.

The guards dragged him into a room that appeared to be the main part of the base. It was cut out of rock and had huge windows that looked out onto the Swiss Alps.

Red Skull stepped out of the shadows and approached them, "Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait, but I will say you do it better than anyone else." He sneered and leaned in towards Steve, "There are limits to what even you can do, Captain. Or did Erskin tell you otherwise?"

"He told me you where insane, that seemed like enough," Steve insulted him with a smug smile.

"He resented my genius and tried to deny what was rightfully mine. Yet he gave you everything," he paused and looked Steve up and down, "What made you so special?"

"Nothing..." Steve raised his head and looked into Red Skull's eyes, "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn."

Red Skull seethed and punched Steve hard in the face. The guards held him in place as he punched him, again and again. Beating him and bartering him. Finally he stopped and stepped back. Steve caught his breath and then looked up at him. To Red Skull's surprise, he was smiling.

"I could do this all day," Steve grinned.

"I believe you can but I'm on a schedule," he pulled out a gun and held it to Steve's head.

"So am I," Steve smiled into the barrel of the gun.

A sudden thunk, thunk, thunk was head from the window. Red Skull whipped around to see three specks in the distance flying towards the window. He turned back towards Steve and was about to pull the trigger when Steve pulled one of the guards in front of him and he was shot instead.

Just then Dugan, Falsworth and Jones blasted through the window. Steve knocked out the other guard that wasn't shot. Red Skull backed away towards the door, shooting a few times but never hitting anything, finally he reached the door and made a mad dash down the hallway.

They go out into the hallway just as Red Skull turned a corner. A sea of allied troops had blasted through the door and where fighting every Hydra soldier in sight.

Falsworth cut down a guard and took his shield. He threw it to Steve who yelled, "thanks."

"Cheers." Falsworth smiled.

With the shield strapped onto his arm he chased after him. Steve was just about to catch up to him when Red Skull turned around and fired his gun at him. Steve barely had enough him to block the shots with his shield.

Schmidt raced passed an intersecting corridor and hit a button on the wall. The blast doors began to close but Steve quickly calculated his speed and the speed of the doors and then threw his shield at them. It landed between the doors and held them open.

Steve was just about to slide under the blast door and continue his chase when a Hydra soldier with a flamethrower stepped in front of him. He began to raise the barrels of the flamethrower to a defenseless Steve when suddenly the tanks on the soldiers back exploded.

The man fell down to reveal Agent Carter standing there, shot gun in hand.

"You're late." Steve quipped.

"Tell me you're not complaining," she nodded towards the blast door, "weren't you about to... ?"

"Right." He ran and slid under the door, grabbing his shield on the way.

Steve ran down the hallway but stopped short when it opened onto a huge hander. A deep rumbling shook the room as a plane way bigger than anything Steve had ever seen rolled down the runway.

He quickly ran after it. Up ahead the doors of the hander opened to reveal the snowy mountains of the Swiss Alps. The plane began to pick up speed when a car pulled up next to Steve. Behind the wheel was Colonel Philips.

"Get in." He told Steve.

Steve jumped in, Peggy sat in the backseat loading a shot gun. They chased after the plane as it approached the end of the runway. Steve made his way onto the windscreen of the car and steadied himself.

"Closer!" Steve yelled over the noise of the propellers.

The Colonel pulled up along side one of the planes huge wheels. Steve was just about to climb on when Peggy yelled, "wait!"

Peggy grabbed him by the neck and kissed him, "I'm coming with you."

Steve was hesitant at first but they where quickly running out of room on the runway and he knew there was no point in arguing with Peggy Carter. "Okay come on," he helped her onto the hood of the car.

Just then they burst out of the tunnel and into broad daylight. They only had a few feet of runway left, "we have to jump!" Peggy yelled.

Together they flew through the air and grabbed onto the landing gear just as the plane flew off the end of the runway. They both hoisted themselves up the landing gear.

"What's the plan now?" Peggy asked, her voice almost drowned out by the wind.

Steve was about to answer when the wheel of the plane slowly went up, bringing them inside.
