Chapter 25

   We just arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. I'm not really a big part of it. I'm just here to help Agent Hill with the helicarriers. What a dangerous mission.

    We finally find the computer room and knock at the door. When the tech guy opens it, Agent Hill has a gun pointed at him. He lets us in and I head towards the computer. Captain Rogers grabs a microphone, turns it on, and starts speaking into it.

   "Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the past few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by Hydra. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. team and insight crew are Hydra as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, Hydra will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not." Captain Rogers said.

   Wow. He's right. That was pretty amazing.

   "Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?" The man asked. Captain Rogers just smiled in response.

   Then they both rushed out and headed to the helicarriers.

   I opened the computer and started my job.

   "They're initiating the launch." I informed through my ear piece.

   I typed away as Agent Hill watched me in awe. Probably the first time she saw a nine year old work at a computer like a professional.

   "Satellites in range of three thousand feet. Falcon, status?" I asked as I looked at the computer screen.

   "Engaging." Falcon replied and flew towards his assigned helicarrier.

   "Eight minutes, Captain." I said. "Working on it." He answered and headed to his helicarrier.

   "Alpha locked." I heard Captain Rogers say minutes later. "Falcon, where are you now?" I asked the man. "I had to take a detour." He replied.

   "Bravo locked." Falcon says as he flies away from the helicarrier.

   "Two down, one to go." I inform.

   This is way too easy. I expected this to be quite difficult.

   As if on cue, I catch a glimpse of something in the security tape.

  Oh crap.

   "Bucky." I said as I got up from my chair. "What about him?" Agent Hill asks. "He's here. Do you think you can handle the rest?" I ask as I make my way to the door. "Yeah, where are you going?" She asks in return. I don't respond and leave the room.

   "Falcon, can you fly me up to the helicarrier?" I ask as I wait on top of the building.

   "I could, why do you need to be on the helicarrier?" He asks.

   "Don't question me. Just do it." I reply.

   "I don't think Steve will approve of th-"

   "Catch me." I interrupt and jump off the building.

   Falcon quickly catches me and takes me up to the helicarrier.

   As we land, Bucky is there. He kicks Falcon while he's still in the air. I run off and look for Captain Rogers. When I look back, I see Bucky ripping off one of Falcon's wings.
