AVENGERS CIVIL WAR

Chapter 1

Hi lovelies! I hope with all my heart you enjoy this. Thank you for reading this! It means so much to me. Xx

His fists pounded the punching bag as he was lost in thought. He and Tony Stark had not gotten along on an Avengers matter; again. Steve disliked arguing with Tony, but he couldn't help but express his thoughts on the matter. Now Steve was just frustrated and full of pent up irritation. He slammed his fist on the bag, taking out his inner anger. He barely heard the door to the practice room open.

"Cap, we've got a code red."

Maria Hill's voice shook Steve out of his thoughts. Her commanding tone bringing him fully alert. He turned around, loosening the tape around his fists.

"Where?" He asked, coming over to her, catching his breath.

Maria's fingers flutters over the touch screen. Steve still didn't know how to negotiate technological devices very well and was secretly amazed at her swiftness. "We found some footage on Twitter that may interest you." She held out her tablet and pulled up some footage.

Two scientists with headlamps made their way through a cave, talking to the camera in rapid Japanese. They swung the camera around and shone their lamps on an alien looking pile of metal. Steve didn't know what they were saying, but he could tell the scientists were excited.

"Chitauri?" Steve guessed.

"Bingo. We don't know how it got in a cave in Japan, but we're sending a team to get to the scene before anyone else does. Especially Hydra. Are you in?"

"Of course. Anyone else going?"

"The whole team except Clint and Rhodes. Tony is going to run some tests, the rest will be there for back up. Since the second this hit the Internet, Hydra has known about it. We have to get it away from the scene before they get there. And if they do get there...they won't be coming in lightly. We'll need the backup."

"Do the civilians know we're coming?" Steve has seen on their many missions that some crowds were less receptive than others, to the Avengers arrivals.

"They do know, I'm not quite sure about their standing with you all yet. It's for their own good to get this cleared away though."

Steve nodded. "I'll be on the quinjet in five."

"Copy that."

As the quinjet flew towards Japan, there wasn't much to do but wait. The mood was surprisingly mild and calm despite the earlier argument.

Sharon Carter ran her fingers through her long blonde hair and tapped her laptop keys. She scanned through the SHIELD data files, using key words. She'd been searching for days. No one on the entire internet even mentioned the guy in a text. She was narrowing her search now, sticking with SHIELD files and documents. Most SHIELD intel was hard copy; mostly to prevent hacking but also because Nick Fury was a bit old fashioned. The rest of any possible information was protected behind hundreds of passwords and scans that Sharon couldn't break into.

Winter Soldier. James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky Barnes. Russia. Nick Fury death.

No files came up. No one had even searched his name in the database recently. Sharon gnawed on her lower lip, thinking. Finally, she typed in a totally different search, one she had put off searching. One unprotected hit came up and Sharon looked it over. She raised her hand to her lips and she abruptly got up, snapping the laptop shut. She spotted the redheaded agent Natasha Romanoff immediately. The agent was strapping on her wrist weapon, Widows Bite.
