Beyond Saving Bucky

You're free

Nat's POV:

Steve: "hey can you hand me my phone"

Nat: "here, they take him to set up?"

Steve: "yea"

Nat: "nervous?"

Steve: "yea, he is...he needs this to work..."

Nat: "I meant you...." He eyes me with a confused look on his face.

Steve: "why would I be nervous?"

Nat: "...no reason..." I reply.

T'Challa: "they have him far out in the east side, away from the people. Just in case"

Nat: "Thank you. We will head there now."

I take my seat in the pilot position, and watch as Steve sits back in the corner of the jet. He opens his phone, and before he hits the call button, he take a deep breath. What is this boy thinking? I watch him quietly as he hits the call button, and see the smile on his face when she answers.

Olivia: "Hiya Super Soldier! Still in your costume I see..."

Steve: "It's a suit...what are you up to crazy?"

Olivia: "nothing since all of you ditched me...so thanks for that!"

The rest of the group boards the jet, and Steve stays on the phone with her, moving to the other pilot seat while everyone gets situated so we can take off. The east side isnt within walking distance, so this will get us there faster.

Steve: "Yea...sorry about that...." He says to her, giving her a tired smile.

Olivia: "hey, you look exhausted Stevie. Are you ok?"

Steve: "yea, I'm uh....im good. I just...I wanted to show you something..."

Olivia: "...ok....? Is everything ok?"

Steve: "Just stay on the phone me, ok?"

A few minutes later, we land. We all move to be deplane, but Steve stays for a moment with her.

When we step outside, we see Ayo sitting with Bucky in the field. She walks him through the process, even though it sounds like he's done this before. Poor guy looks nervous....

Sam: "he looks like he's gonna hurl..."

Nat: "Wouldn't you if your freedom depended on this?"

Ayo looks at me and gives me a nod. They're ready. I quietly step back on the jet, and whisper to him.

Nat: "Steve...hey...it's time" he looks at me and gives me a nod.

Steve: "Liv...do you trust me?"

Olivia: "...yea...but Steve...what's going on?"

Steve: "Just...stay with me, ok?"

He stands and makes his way off the jet. He moves through the group, setting up in a clearing with a direct line of site to Bucky. I watch him as he kneels, and brings the screen back to his face. Shes trying to say something to him but he slowly shakes his head, and brings his fingers to his lips, silencing her. He flips the camera to she can see Bucky, and Ayo begins.

Ayo: "let's begin..."

Bucky nods in agreement.

We all watch in silence as she starts.

Olivia: "Steve..." she says, her voice shaking
