A/N: Okay so here is the (almost) final part, sorry you guys had to wait so long for me to update! Hope you enjoy! Also, HA, you wish it was Steve at the door ;) I'm hoping to update 00 : 00 : 00 : 00 next. Sorry this is so short, but it felt awkward when I added the ending, so I just broke it in half!


"Nick?" You asked in surprise as your old director shut the door behind him, his expression grim. "How did you-"

"I might be dead, L/N, but I still got connections," his eyes (eye, more like) moved over Natasha and Bucky, who were both a little shocked. "Barnes. Romanoff. Hope you don't mind my help."

"Not at all," Natasha said, a small smile on her face. "What kinda help?"

"I know someone who can get you in and out and in Wakanda without the guards waking up till you've crossed the northern African borders."

"Who would have that kind of power?" Bucky asked incredulously, causing Fury to grin. 

"Phil Coulson."

"He's dead," you said quickly, "We watched him die."

"You watched me die, too," he looked to Natasha, who frowned. "Coulson is alive and running what's left of SHIELD as it's new director. And he's offered to give us all his resources to get the rest of the Avengers out and safe in Wakanda."

You frowned, "You're rebuilding SHIELD, after everything Steve did to stop HYDRA?"

"You can get annoyed at me later," Nick promised, moving to an empty chair and sitting down. "Right now, we need to worry about getting the team out of that prison."

"I'm assuming you know a thing or two about it, don't you?" Natasha asked. He nodded, folding his arms.

"I knew about the plans to build it. I didn't know they had done it, of course, as I was dead when they built it. What I do know is that Coulson has resources to get a chopper in there and out, and has someone who can hack just as well as you can, L/N."

You raised an eyebrow. "So we can hack it together, make the process faster and easier, is what you're saying."

He grinned. "His side can hack on the outside while you do the inside work. It'll be ten times easier to shut down their security from both sides, save you enough time to get out of there in case anything goes wrong."

"And we won't have to hijack their helicopter, you're saying this Coulson can get one for us that won't blow our cover?" Bucky asked, a slight look of disbelief on his expression.

"It'll be easy. And plus, when you guys get to Wakanda, Steve will be waiting."

Your heart skipped a beat. "Steve? He's alive? How do you-"

"I know a lot of things, Y/N," Nick stated flaty, "And of course Steve is alive, I don't think anything can put that man six feet under. He's been hiding out in Wakanda since Tony chased him out of Russia. He's unable to leave without the CIA or any agency, really, discovering. T'Challa has been gracious enough to allow all of you to hide out there, after this."

You were still in slight shock at this news. At least now you knew why Steve hadn't come. It still slightly hurt that he told Nick this, but not you or even Bucky. 

"How long will we have once we leave with the rest of the team?" You asked, trying to keep the emotion out of your voice. 

"Well, Coulson's agents can keep security down for an estimated six hours after you guys break in," he replied. "It will take you around ten minutes to get through the guards, and extra ten for both Y/N and Coulson's agent to hack security. Another ten to get everyone out, I would assume. So half an hour total to be done in the prison. That leaves five and a half hours to head for Wakanda."
