A War Has Many Casualities

Chapter 3

Bucky's POV

I sat on the ground with my back leaning against a tree, the night was so clear with the Stars shining brightly and the moon above I felt at peace. I sat there watching the sky and before I knew it, I noticed the night becoming lighter and it was becoming morning, I had better get back, before they notice me gone, I thought to myself.

I race back the way I came and once I checked if there was anyone around I quickly climbed the fence and I was in the camp. I walked towards the tent, as I enter the tent everyone is asleep but Steve. He is sitting nervously on the bed,

"Where have you been?" he asked directly.

"I told you walking" I said as I removed my jacket.

"That was four hours ago" he said

"Well I'm back; did you seriously stay up waiting for me?" I asked

"I woke up about an hour ago, I was worried" said Steve, showing his puppy dog eyes. I could hear moaning coming from where the Commandos were sleeping. "You guys want to keep it down" Gabe said with a tired tone, "Yeah, I am trying to finish my beauty sleep" Dum Dum Dugan added. Before anyone could say anything else, a soldier came into the tent "Rise and shine, Colonel Phillips wants to talk to all of you" he said which caused the Howling Commando's to moan, but they finally sat up in their beds.

The soldier left our tent, "what are you chaps talking about anyway?" James Falsworth asked as he stood up and stretched. "Nothing" I answer before Steve can say anything, "Don't sound like nothing" Jim Morita. We get dressed in our new army uniforms and make our way to Colonel Phillips "office" tent, where Agent Carter and Colonel Phillips are awaiting us.

Steve's POV

We enter the tent where I see Agent Carter, we exchange smiles and I realized we are not alone. I snap back to reality, but not before Bucky gave me a smirk. I was worried about Bucky, but I know he wouldn't want to worry me about what was happening with him. "Captain Rogers, we want to form a team of elite soldiers to take down HYDRA threats, so we can once and for end this god forsaken war" Colonel Phillips said, which confused me coming the man who told me I would about result to nothing then turning around saying I could help stop the war.

"I am sorry sir, I don't understand" I said in a confused tone.

"Since your stunt with the weapons facility, the government think that you will lead us to a new and brighter era where there is peace not war, and take down HYDRA. You are the team to do that" He said.

"Well, as long as we can get this war over and done, I'm in" Dum Dum Dugan said and the others nodded with Bucky staying silent. "Looks like it is official, Captain Rogers?" he asked, "I will do what is right" I answer, Peggy smiled at me and I smiled back. We are dismissed from the tent, and sent on our way. We spent the rest of the day wondering around the camp and playing cards in the tent, we were all bored to death.

3rd Person POV

The Howling Commando's sat around a small table in their tent; they looked at each other intently.

"You cheated" Gabe said in shock, as he looked at the card James Falsworth placed on top of the stack of cards placed on the table.

"I did no such thing" James Falsworth replied in disgust

"You did so" Gabe retaliated

"You are just angry because I won fair in square" Falsworth replied with a calm tone, unlike Gabe.

"Gentlemen, settle down before someone loses a limb" Dum Dum intervened.

"I say let them go at, it's entertainment for all of us" Jim Morita said, Dum Dum Dugan gave him a glare.

"Are you guys seriously going to have an argument about a game of cards?" asked Dum Dum, after a long silence Gabe apologized for the accusation and James accepted. They began to play again when Bucky, who was lying on his bed with his eyes closed but with ear listening inattentively. "You guys sure like your card games" he said.

"Well when you have nothing else to do, cards are the only way" Dum Dum Dugan replied, the others snickered.

"I going to go have a shower" Bucky said as he grabbed my stuff and left Steve and the Howling Commando's in the tent while he headed to the showers.
