Agent 20: Astryd Carter (Descendant)

14. Civil War (Ready To Comply)

"Hey," Astryd get inside Bucky's room where his pod is. "Wazzup! Wassup!" She enthusiastically greets Bucky just to make him feel not scared even though they are not sure of what the accords decision will be. "They let me talk to you so you will cooperate with your evaluator later." She crossed her arms against her chest as she rolled her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Bucky worriedly popped up his head as he saw Astryd. "Sorry, I was occupied earlier. I didn't see you bleeding." Bucky said, noticing the bandage on Astryd's left arm.

Astryd makes raspberry again. "I'm fine." She tosses her head back. Boastfully like nothing happened. "Maybe I should be the one to ask you that." Astryd said with a smirk.

"ha. ha. Funny. Look. What do you see? Am I doing fine?" Bucky sarcastically remarks and tried to wiggle in his pod.

"Well, you look great though," She said and walked around the pod. "You look aesthetic and come off like they are scared of how you are going to tumultuously riot to get out of that pod," Astryd said. "Hey, guys! You hear us?" Astryd waves at the camera with her mischievous smile and glances at Bucky. "You know, they are listening to us." Astryd pointed at the camera.

"She's like that? How old is she?" Ross asked Natasha as they observed the control room. Seeing the two converse like kids.

Nat let out a sigh and just gave Everett an approving nod. "She makes the team together. Just like that." Nat said.

Bucky throws his head back as he let out a short chuckle. "You always made fun of me. How I will miss those words of yours, Astryd." Bucky said, looking down at Astryd.

Astryd eyes soften again, hearing those words from her friend who committed crimes that he didn't want to execute. She felt sorry for Bucky but she dares to help him. "Bucky," Astryd reached Bucky's pod. "Dude, you'll be fine. Everything will be fine if things got into place." She took paused to have a deep breath as her voice are attempting to crack. "I will burn every freaking word you will say." She gave him a reassuring smirk. "You know I agree with the fact that sometimes doing the right things gets ugly." She added. "So, just talk later. Okay?" Astryd leaned at the glass cell of Bucky and make a fog on it as she draw a smiling face. She let out a soft chuckle, making fun of what she did.

The red bulb blinks, indicating that someone will enter the room. Astryd glances at the door and back to Bucky who nods and confirms from Astryd's eyes that asking him to take off. "And also," She faces Bucky once again. "...I have compassion for myself. I trust myself. So you must do it too. It's beneficial." she winks.

Astryd presses her lips together, smiling at Bucky and waves away from him.

A man with a suitcase crossed paths with Astryd as she nodded at the guy who must be the evaluator.

The evaluator sits at a desk facing Bucky's pod. Inside, Bucky's still restrained.

"Hello, Mr Barnes. I've been sent by the United Nations to evaluate you. Do you mind if I sit? Your first name is James?" He politely asked.

In an office with Sam and Steve. Sharon hands them a piece of paper. "The receipt for your gear." She said.

"'Bird costume'? Come on." Sam lamented.

"I didn't write it." Sharon tilts her head as she then pushes a button to switch the restriction on the audio from Bucky's evaluation to broadcast it in Steve's room.

Steve checked their perimeter if someone is looking as then Nat suspiciously notices it and she just didn't mind what Sharon did.

"You listened to Astryd and Bucky's conversation, didn't you?" Sharon said turning at the two.
