Sam Wilson had the same routine every morning, or almost. Get up, go for a run then come home and drink his orange juice. Today, he did the first three easily but before he could sip his juice, there was a knock at his door. 

It could have been anyone really (most likely his mother), but he didn't expect it to be four of the most wanted people in Washington who looked like hell and were really desperate for a shower. He opened the door quickly and Steve sighed.

"Hey man." Sam greeted him.

"I'm sorry about this," The soldier apologised sincerely. "But we need a place to lay low."

"Everyone we know is trying to kill us." Nat said bluntly.

Sam pursed his lips before shaking his head. "Not everyone." They walked inside and he looked around before closing the door.

Cassie sat on the bed drying her face with a towel when Nat walked over and they sat in silence for a moment. "So, Natalia Alionovna?" The blonde asked with a smile.

"I haven't heard that name in a long time." Nat chuckled.

"It's a beautiful name Nat." Cassie rubbed her back but the red-head sent a teasing smile back.

"I knew your full name was Cassandra, but where did Freya come from?" She shot back.

Cassie sighed. "I was named after my older sister, Freya, she died before I was born. Since Rebekah had my mother's name, it was my father's choice to name me after her. Surprisingly though, I don't know much about her."

Nat hummed. "Well, there must've been something about baby you for your father to name you after her."

"Either that, or he wanted another child named Freya considering we've all been disappointments."

Sam walked in before the conversation could continue. "I made breakfast, if you guys...eat that sort of thing."

They walked out and saw Steve and Lee already sat at the table eating food. Nat, however, noticed there was no blood so she took a knife and cut her wrist so blood poured easily into a glass.

"Woah, what are you doing?" Same asked in concern.

Cassie's eyes widened and she understood what Nat was doing. Before taking the glass, she gave Nat some of her own blood to heal the cut, which it did. Cassie then gulped her own glass down and suddenly felt stronger than she had in the past 24 hours. Sam was still watching.

"Has no one told you?" Cassie asked him but he looked around while the others smiled. "I'm a vampire, one of the oldest on earth. Pleasure."

Once they ate and introductions were formerly made they made their way to the dreaded conversation of Project Insight.

"So the question is, who at SHIELD could launch a domestic missile strike?" Nat asked collectively.

"Pierce." Steve realised.

"Who happens to be sitting on top of the most secure building in the world." Cassie pointed out.

Lee shook her head. "He's not working alone. Zola's algorithm was on the Lemurian Star."

"So was Jasper Sitwell." Nat concluded.

They all looked at each other and Steve sighed. "So, the real question is how do the four most wanted people in Washington kidnap a SHIELD officer in broad daylight?" He asked.

"The answer is, you don't." Sam walked over and threw a file down on the table which they quickly opened up.

"What's this?" Lee asked him.

"Call it a resume."

Cassie picked up one of the papers and read it, recognising the mission. "Is this Bakhmala? The Khalid Khandil mission, that was you?"

Nat took it, also recognising it. "You didn't say he was a pararescue." Nat turned to Steve as she passed him a picture of two men.

"Is this Riley?" Steve asked, looking up at Sam who nodded solemnly.

"I heard they couldn't bring in the helicopters because of the RPGs," Cassie remembered. "What did you use? A stealth shoot?"

"No," Sam shook his head and opened the other file. "These."

Steve's eyes widened as he looked at the photo. "I thought you said you were a pilot."

Sam chuckled. "I never said pilot."

Steve shook his head. "I can't ask you to do this, Sam," He told him. "You got out for a good reason."

"Dude, Captain America needs my help," Sam shot back with a smile. "There's no better reason to get back in."

Lee took the file off of Steve considering he was reluctant about the whole thing. "Where can we get one of these things?" She questioned.

"The last on is at Fort Meade. Behind three guarded gates and a 12-inch steel wall." Sam informed them all.

Cassie, Steve, Nat and Lee all looked at one another and shrugged.

"Shouldn't be a problem."
