Chaos | Steve Rogers

Chapter 11

My thoughts churned as I walked by Sam in the hotel lobby. I still couldn't believe it. Steve will be devastated.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Sam elbow me.

"Ow! Quite it!"

Sam rolled his eyes as I resisted the urge to smack him into oblivion. "He's over there Mal."

I followed Sam's line of vision to see Steve talking to Sharon. They were smiling and I could see a light in Steve's eyes that I haven't seen before.

"Malia if you keep grinding your teeth they will fall apart." Sam lectured a smug little smile on his smug little face.

And he wonders why I called him twelve.

I resisted the urge to smack him once more and headed over to the smiling, happy, blonde couple.

"Hey Steve," I called, "there's something you gotta see."

¤¤¤¤¤¤

I stood silently with Sam and Steve watching the TV as Sharon ranted on her phone to some poor bastard.

"Over seventy people are injured, at least twelve are dead including Wakanda's King T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect whom they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes: The Winter Soldier. The infamous Hydra agent linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assasinations-"

"I have to go work." Sharon said.

And all the whole I can't help but think how "The Winter Soldier" would be a great name for a movie.

Sam and I were trying to sheild our faces and look as invisible as much as possible. He was wearing a red baseball cap and some sweet shades while I was wearing a large beach hat which covered most of my face. Cause you know, a beach hat in Vienna doesn't draw attention.

Steve walked in sporting a blue baseball cap and, you guessed it, sunglasses! I really need to teach Sam and Steve some creativity.

"She told you to stay out of it?" Sam guessed taking sip of his coffee. "Might have a point."

"He'd do it for me."

"You sure?" I butted in, "Cause the last time you saw him, he was beating the crap out of you."

"What Malia means is that he would do it for you in 1945 maybe." Sam explained. "I just wanna consider all our options. The people who shoot at you, wind-up shooting at me."

"And me. Don't forget about me."

"How can we with your constant commentary and sass." Sam snorted."Don't even get me started on the sarcasm."

I was about to fire a witty retort, cause I am witty, when low and behold, Sharon walks in.

"Tips have been pouring in since that footage went public. Everybody thinks the Winter Soldier is going to their gym. Most of it's noise except from this." She hands him a file.

"My boss'll expect a briefing. That's all the story your gonna get."

Steve swallowed thickly. "Thank you."

"You're gonna have to hurry." She warned. "We have orders to shoot on sight."

And with that happy news, she left.

"You know, I hear Hawaii is wonderful this time of year."

Sam rolled his eyes. "I love you dearly Malia but you gotta shut up."

AN:Who watched Agents of SHIELD season 4 premier? I loved Gabriel Luna's portrayal of Ghost Rider. But I have one question: WHO THE HELL IS THIS NEW DIRECTOR OF SHIELD?!??!!?
