Tragedies of Betrayal

09

Sam drove them to the Triskelion and Sitwell said, "HYDRA doesn't like leaks."

"So why don't you try sticking a cork in it," Sam retorted.

"Insight's launching in sixteen hours, we're cutting it a little bit close here," Natasha warned.

"I know," Steve said. "We'll use him to bypass the DNA scans and access the Helicarriers directly."

"What?!" Sitwell cried. "Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible idea."

Suddenly, the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress landed on the car roof, he pulled Sitwell out through the window and threw him into the oncoming traffic, killing him, then started shooting at them until Steve pulled the brake handle, making the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress drop down onto the street as another car smashed into their car and pushed them along. The Winter Soldier jumped back onto their car, smashed through the windscreen and pulled out the steering wheel. The Ivory Enchantress froze the ground around the car.

"Shit!" Sam yelled as Natasha started shooting at them, but the Winter Soldier jumped onto the vehicle behind them while the Ivory Enchantress darted away. As their car was being pulled off the road, Steve held on to the car door.

"Hang on!" Steve yelled as he broke open the door. Holding onto Natasha and Sam, they slid on the car door through the streets.

The Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress were joined by HYDRA agents and started shooting at them. The three scattered and ran off in different directions with the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress shooting at Natasha, but she managed to shoot them in their eye goggle masks. The Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress removed their masks to reveal a blank glare before standing.

"Она моя. Мы позаботимся о ней. Найти его," the Winter Soldier said.

(She's mine. (We'll take care of her.) Find him.)

The Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress went in pursuit of Natasha as the HYDRA agents went after Steve and Sam who both managed to fend them off as they shot at them. Steve then noticed the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress in pursuit of Natasha.

"Go, I got this!" Sam told Steve.

The Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress thought they'd found Natasha hiding behind a car as they could hear her voice.

"I make an LZ, twenty-three hundred block of Virginia Avenue," Natasha's voice said. "Rendezvous two minutes. Taking fire above and below expressway. Civilians threatened. Repeat, civilians threatened." He rolled a bomb towards where he thought she was hiding. As the bomb rolled behind the car, Natasha wasn't actually there, but a recording over her voice was being played back on a phone. "I make an LZ, twenty-three hundred block at Virginia Avenue. Rendezvous two minutes." As the bomb exploded, Natasha jumped onto the Winter Soldier's back and tried to kill him, but he threw her off. She started running off as the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress went after her.

Natasha said to the civilians as she tried to get away from the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress, "Get out of the way! Stay out of the way!"

Natasha got shot in the shoulder. She fell and looked around her.

As the Winter Soldier and the Ivory Enchantress came up from behind to shoot her, Steve jumped in and attacked them. They fought and in the process, the Winter Soldier took Steve's shield and threw it at him, but Steve managed to avoid being hit. After battling it out more, the Winter Soldier's mask, as well as the Ivory Enchantress's, came off. They looked around at Steve who was shocked.

"Bucky? Kata?" Steve called.

"Who the hell is Bucky?" the Winter Soldier asked.

The Ivory Enchantress's face scrunched. "Who is Kata?"

Bucky and Katarina went to shoot at Steve, before they could shoot, Sam flew in and kicked Bucky and Katarina aside. Bucky and Katarina took aim again but before they could shoot, Natasha used the grenade launcher Bucky dropped earlier to shoot at Bucky and Katarina who vanished in the smoke of the explosion. The three heard sirens after which they were surrounded by HYDRA agents being led by Rumlow.

"Drop the shield, Cap!" Rumlow ordered. "On your knees! Get on your knees! Now! Get down! Get down!" Steve held his hands up. "Get on your knees! Down!" He kicked Steve's leg and Steve knelt down. "Don't move." Rumlow looked at the helicopter flying above them and warned Rollins who was holding Steve at gunpoint. "Put the gun down. Not here. Not here!" Rollins lowered his gun. The HYDRA agents took Steve, Sam and Natasha into custody.
