southampton, new york;

Steve gave Brooke an uneasy look as they waited for the signal for the interrogation to start. "You sure you wanna do this?"

Brooke looked from the glass to Steve, giving him a small nod. "Yeah."

Ross looked at the officer standing by the door, nodding for him to let Brooke and the lieutenant in. "Let em in."

As the door opened, an evil smirk took place on Rebecca's face. "You made it. Yay!"

The lieutenant stood by the door, nodding for Brooke to sit across from Rebecca. "Where are they?"

Fake confusion took place on Rebecca's face as she tilted her head. "Who?"

"My kids, dumbass." Brooke rolled her eyes in annoyance as she leaned back in her chair. "I know you're working with Brock Rumlow and I know you paid him to take my kids."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Rebecca flashed a smile of false innocence before she leaned on her hand. "I don't know anyone named Brock."

Brooke let out a scoff as she stood up, kicking the chair away. "Bullshit!"

"She's getting ornery." Tony shared a glance with Steve. "This isn't gonna be good."

"Nope." Steve agreed with a sigh as he crossed his arms. "No, it's not."

"That seemed a little unnecessary." Rebecca looked from the chair back to Brooke.

"Tell me where they are." Brooke demanded as she leaned forward on the table.

"I told you that I don't know." Rebecca reminded as she looked at her nails.

Brooke slammed her hands on the table, startling Rebecca. "Tell me the truth!"

"I am!"

"Tell me the truth!"

"I am!" Rebecca yelled back as she stood up. "You wanna know the truth, Brooklyn? You're a sadistic monster who shouldn't be a mother and if your kids are dead, it's your fault!"

Brooke used her powers to push the table into the wall before she charged toward Rebecca, pinning her to the wall and choking her. "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Fuck." Tony mumbled to himself before everyone ran into the room. "Brooke!"

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Brooke promised as she pushed Rebecca back into the wall again.

"Lynn!" Steve called, him and Bucky managing to pull Brooke back, the latter standing in between the brunette and Rebecca.

Rebecca held her throat as she tried to get some air, a sadistic smirk on her face. "That was fun."

Ross marched into the room, making Brooke roll her eyes and Rebecca smile triumphantly. "Out. Rogers, out. Now." Brooke let out a huff before she left the room, heading toward the lobby with Ross on her heels. "You really think the military is gonna look for your kids after you pull something like that?"

Brooke watched Ross walk away before she rolled her eyes at the man. "You weren't looking for them anyway."

"Hey." Darlene called as she caught up with the youngest Stark. "You okay?"

Brooke pulled out her phone and looked at it, seeing the numerous texts she was getting from Rumlow. "Brock keeps texting me from Hailie's phone."

Darlene looked at the messages before handing the phone back to Brooke. "Think you can track it?"

"That's like asking if I can breathe." Brooke reminded, playfully rolling her eyes at the blonde.

"I can't." Darlene said with a small shrug. "I have asthma."

Brooke chuckled before she nodded for the door. "Let's go."

"Mmhmm."

"Hey!" Before the duo could get too far, the boys turned the corner and called for them. "Where are you two going?"

"Ice cream."

"Beer." Darlene answered, Brooke sending her a duh look. "What?"

"You can't have beer. You're pregnant." Brooke reminded, her eyes widening with realization as the boys jaws dropped. "Darlene, it was an accident. I didn't mean it."

"That's okay, Bunny." Darlene put a hand on Brooke's shoulder before she looked at Bucky. "We can talk about this later."

Bucky nodded before he looked at Steve and Tony. "I feel weird."

"—like you're about to have a heart attack, but you're not?" Tony suggested, making Bucky nod.

"Yeah." Bucky rubbed his heart, looking from Darlene to his friends. "Is this normal?"

"Yep."

"Yeah." Steve said with a chuckle and a nod. "I almost had a real one."

"What?" Bucky's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "When?"

Brooke wore an amused smile. "—when he found out there was a Tyler and a Sarah."

"Yeah, he passed out cold right there in the doctor's office." Tony laughed at the memory. "It was so funny!"

Steve rolled his eyes at his brother in law. "Not for me, it wasn't."

The group watched as armed officers and Ross's soldiers ran by yelling orders. Tony caught Ross's attention before the man could leave. "What's going on?"

"Stephenson escaped."

Everyone looked at each other before Tony gestured to them. "What can we do?"

"Nothing. Go home and stay there." Ross ordered, him looking directly at Brooke. "If I find out you interfered with this investigation in any way, I'll put you in prison."

Bucky watched Ross walk away before he looked at Brooke. "That man really hates you."

"Thank you, Buck." Brooke let out a sigh as she looked at Tony. "Now what are we supposed to do?"

Tony thought for a second before an idea popped in his head. "Why don't we look for Rumlow? We find Rumlow, we might find Rebecca, too."

"If we don't find Rebecca—" Darlene started to add. "—he might know where she's going."

"—but how are we gonna find Rumlow?" Steve asked as he looked at everyone. "He's been off the grid for years."

"I have an idea where he could be." Brooke spoke up, making Darlene and the boys look at her.

"What?" Tony's eyebrows furrowed in confusion before he realized what Brooke was talking about, him shaking his head at his sister. "No. No way! Non ci vado!"

I'm not going there!

"Bubba, devi!" Brooke said with a roll of her eyes. "We'll be in and out in ten minutes."

You have to!

Tony rolled his eyes at his sister. "Ti ho detto che aprire quel posto era una cattiva idea."

I told you opening that place was a bad idea.

Bucky looked from the siblings to Steve, a look of confusion on his face. "—opening what place?"

Tony sighed before he nodded reluctantly, making Brooke smile triumphantly. "You'll see!"

Happy, holding two puppies: i have to do everything for them. i think i'm gonna name them brooke and tony.
