The Winter Soldier; Against All Odds

Finding Steve

Once we reach the other opening we stop and I climb up to the top of the ladder, open it and peak up to see if there is anyone there. Luckly there is no one but they probably have spy's all around the city to find us. I drop down a step and look at him,
"Its clear but I think we will need something else to wear cause in pretty sure they have spy's around the city to find us."
"Okay but where exactly do you think we will find other clothes to wear?" I nod.
"Well here's got to be a clothes store around here some where and I have money." He gives me slight as to say, okay. I reach into my pocket and check to see if I still have the extra rounds and the money and I do. I look back at him and he look as if in distress.
"What?" And as if to answer he looks at his arm. Fuck I forgot that. Come on Eli you can figure this out.
The it hits me. I take out the money and about five extra rounds from my jacket and give it to him.
"Here wear this. Its a extra large and its in guys it should fit," I say as I hand it to him. He hesitates but takes it and puts it on. And I was right. It fits perfectly.

"Okay then are we ready?" I say quickly not knowing if anyone has seen me yet. I climb up first and he comes up right after me and closes the hatch. I wave him over to stand next to me and we slowly get out of the wood line and quickly find a shop. We get inside to find no one there, luckly.
I go over to the Woman's section and find a pair of dark jeans,a black tank top, a blueish red flannle, a black pair of combat boots I look for a jacket but don't find one so I go over to the guys section. I find a black army guys jacket with a Hood. I get them all in my hands and go to find Bucky. I find him grabbing all his stuff and worrying about his arm.
"Its okay. Here these will help a little," I say as I grab a pair of gloves.
We both get up to the register and pay. Immediately we go back to the changing rooms and change. I get into the clothes and lucky they fit perfectly. I throw the other clothes under the bench and then get out and wait for Bucky. He comes out just a couple minutes later and he is wearing jeans, a black long sleeve tshirt, grey nikeys, a green fabric army jacket, a hat and one black leather glove to cover his hand.
"Ready?" I say looking at him as he tries to cover his arm as much as possible.
"Yeah. But can you see my arm?" He says kinda nervously. I look then wall over to him and put my hand up the sleeve of his jacket and start pulling it down. As I do my finger tips touch his metal arm. It doesn't scare me it just..surprises me. Its kinda, oddly, warm. When I get the sleeve down all the way I put it under his glove. I step back and look. Nope cant see it. But I look at his collor and its not even. So I walk up to him and he flinches.
"Your collar..." I say as I trial off and walk up closer to him as I fix his collar till its even.
"There now you look better," I say with a reassuring smile. We walk out of the shop and look for a way to get out of the town. Bucky speaks up,
"There's a train station that looks like they are boarding."
"Okay then we will take that," I say as I start walking towards the station. But quickly stop in my tracks. One of the HYDRA agents just came out of the station and he is going to look this way.
"Bucky. Problem." I say undermining breath. He looks at me then at the direction of the guy. He grabs my arm and dragges me behind a building.
"What the hell are we going to do. Fight?" He says quickly hoping no one followed us.
"We cant fight. Then they would really follow us. Just..follow my lead and play along. Okay?" He nods.
We walk out and the guy is still there. He starts to look around and I panic.
"Bucky. Help." I say quickly. He looks at me then at the guy. And he does the unthinkable.
"Hey does my collar look straight to you?"
I stop dead in my tracks and turn to look at him and start to fix his collar. After about 30 seconds of doing that we look back and the guy walks away. I look up at him and give a slight smile.
Once we get inside the station we go right up to the desk and get two tickets to New York.
"So why are you two going to New York?" The Desk Lady asks with a curious tone.
Think Eli.
"Oh me and my fiancee are just going there to tell my parents about our engagement."
Facepalm.
She gives a slight smile and gives us the tickets. I take them and turn towards Bucky and I give him a look as to say
play along or I will kill you. Surprisingly he puts his arm around me and we walk off.
"Nice cover Eli," he says as he takes his arm from around me.
"First think that came to mind," I say as I shrug. He chuckles a little. 
We get to the line at the train and wait. We get about halfway through the line, which took about thirty-minutes of waiting, and then we see them. A team of four, all guys. I hit Bucky's arm and he looks.
The guys are walking twards us and I habe no idea what to do. Turning to crystal very quickly the light reflects and they close their eyes long enough for us to pass.
I can feel Bucky nod as we board.
Two hours later.

I must have fallen asleep because before I can realize I feel someone shaking me. And my eyes open to find Bucky standing there. But I cant move. I cant do anything but sit and wait.

*flashback*
Smoke and pain. Someone is carrying me past fire. Blood drips down my body, cold and heavy. Going into a metal building people rush over to me and lay body on a metal table. Guards rush over and take my arms and legs, holding me down.
"We must do this!"
"She can DIE!"
"We've brought her back before."
A knife hits the light then intense pain erupts through my body, skin burning, then the feeling of drowning.
*end of flashback*
I breath again and feel relieved. I've had these before. They come back in floods , mostly in dreams so this one was diffrent. But it was obvious by the incident earlier.
Standing up I get out. I wait for him and his look is puzzled.

We walk for a while then I stop. Standing there in silence. A taxi comes and I stop it.
  "So what are you two going?" The taxi driver says.
"Brookline please," I say in a sweet tone.

After about maybe ten minutes sitting in silence. Which dont get me wrong I like silent car rides just not today. Because it leaves me with my thoughts and right now. Thats not a good idea to do that. Thank god its over now though. We reach the first street and he dropps us off and leaves with about $20 of my money.
I watch as the driver leaves then I look up to see the appartments. But for a split second I see it as what it was before. Brookline when it was new. It quickly fades and I look at Bucky. He smiles ever so slightly and smile back.
We get into the 3rd building on rhe top floor just south of where we were before on the street. We walk down the hall and I am starting to feel anxiety radiating off of Bucky. I stop and turn to bucky.
"Relax," I say looking up at him. He kind of gives me a look of,
Can you not do this now. I glare him down and he breaks.
"What if he doesn't want to see me? What if he tries to kill me?"
"Bucky! Its okay. I promise. He will want to see you," I say trying to give him a slight smile and he seems to relax a little. We get to appartment 2248 and I just stand there and look at Bucky.
"Ready?" I say. He nods and I knock.
"BE RIGHT THERE!" Steve says not even two seconds later. I hear him walking up to the door and unlocking it. Before I known it the door is open and I am face to face with the famous Super Soldier Captian Steve Rogers.
