INFINITY'S POV

Im laying back in my seat as Rumlow tells the shield team what is going on.

"The target is a mobile satellite launch platform: The Lemurian Star. It was sending up their last payload when pirates took them, ninety-three minutes ago." He says as I twirl a piece of blue hair around my finger.

"Any demands?" Steve asks the man with a serious expression.

"A billion and a half." Rumlow replies to him as I stand up from my sitting position.

"Why so steep?" Steve asks him as I place my hand on his arm.

"Because it SHIELD's." Rumlow replies as I nod my head.

"So it's not off course, it's trespass." Steve says as he pats my hand before moving closer to the back of the plane.

 "I'm sure they have a good reason." Natasha says as I snicker.

"Yeah. A good reason my left butt cheek." I mutter making one of the SHIELD agents laugh himself.

 "You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor." Steve says making me pay attention to what they were talking about.

"Relax, it's not that complicated." I tell him as I strap my weapons onto my black suit.

 "How many pirates?" Steve asks Rumlow while pretending to not hear me.

"Twenty-five, top mercs, led by this guy. Georges Batroc." He shows a picture of the guy.

"Ex-TGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's "red notice". Before the French demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties." Rumlow says as my eyebrows lift. 

"I would love to get a chat with him. Swap technics." I whisper making Natasha nod her head as well, agreeing with me.

"Hostages?" Steve asks with a serious expression.

"Uh...mostly techs. One officer, Jasper Sitwell." Rumlow replies as he pulls up a photo of Sitwell. "They're in the galley." Rumlow says putting the photo away.

"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship? Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc. Nat, you'll kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to life pods. get 'em out. Infinity, do what ever the heck you do. Let's go." He orders getting ready for the jump.

"STRIKE, you heard the Captain. Gear up!" Rumlow yells as they quickly move to complete the orders from Bugle Boy.

"Secure channel seven." Steve says into his radio.

 "Seven secure." Natasha replies into the radio before turning to Steve. "You do anything fun Saturday night?" She asks him as I look around for an extra radio.

No extra radios. Why do I not get one?

 "Well, all the guys from my barbershop quartet are dead, so... No, not really." Steve replies with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Coming up by the drop zone, Cap." Rumlow yells out as the back door lowers.

 "You know, if you ask Kristen out, from Statistics, she'll probably say yes." Natasha tells him as I walk up to them.

"Don't do it. She would only say yes because you're Mr. Muscles and have good hair. Oh don't tell Tony I said that." I say, covering my face.

"That's why I don't ask." Steve says winking at me.

 "Too shy or too scared?" Natasha asks him as I behind Steve making him stand on the very edge of the plane.

"Too busy!" Steve yells as I Sparta kick him out the back of the plane.

 "Was he wearing a parachute?" An agent asks with slight panic in his voice.

 "No. No, he wasn't. Neither is she." Rumlow says as I fall backwards out the back of the plane with a smile on my face.  

I turn onto my stomach as I fall, watching as Steve lands and beats up some of the pirates.

I look to see a pirate hold up a gun to Steve behind his back. Before I can say anything, Rumlow shoots the man as he lands. They seem to share a quick word as I teleport from falling down to running across the deck before coming to a stop. I wipe off some fake dust as I walk up to Steve.

"What about the nurse that lives across the hall from you? She seems kind of nice." Natasha says making look at her and shake my head while dragging a finger across my neck.

"Secure the engine room, then find me a date." Steve tells her,  not even seeing my hand movements.

"I'm multitasking." She says as she hops over the railing. At that I wink at Steve before going poof in front of his eyes.

I appear next to a computer and get a little curious. I break through the firewalls like they were butter and start reading information. What I read makes my eyes widen. Hearing someone coming, I quickly close everything and erase any sign I was there. I lean back against the wall across the room when Natasha walk into the room.

"Well. I shouldn't be surprised.": She says when she sees me leaning against the wall.

"Not really. This is me we are talking about." I reply as she walks over to the computer and starts to download what is on it.

I walk over next to her and lean against the controls to look at the screen as she types. 

"You know I could do this faster." I tell her just as the door is smashed in and Steve holding Batroc down lands on the floor.

"Well, this is awkward." Natasha tells Steve as I nudge Batroc's arm with the toe of my boot.

"What are you doing?" Steve asks Natasha as kick the man again.

"Backing up the hard drive. It's a good habit to get into." Natasha replies at the same time I reply with, "Kicking people."

"Rumlow needed your help. What the hell are you doing here?" Steve asks Natasha as we walks toward the computer to see what she was backing up. I go to tap the man's arm again but stop when Steve slaps my leg away from the man.

"You're saving SHIELD Intel." Steve says as he finally sees what she is downloading.

"Whatever I can get my hands on." Natasha says as I go to kick the man one more time.

"I don't think she's saving puppies and kittens, Steve." I whisper under my breath.

"Our mission is to rescue hostages." Steve says, giving me a 'really' look.

"No. That's your mission." Natasha says, pulling the flash drive out and tucking it away. "And you've done it beautifully." She continues as she turns to leave. Before she can leave, Steve grabs her arm.

"You just jeopardized this whole operation." Steve growls at her as I start to see Batroc move. I teleport to the other side of the glass wall that was next to me and duck under a desk.

"I think that's overstating things. Wait. Where did Infinity go?" Natasha asks when Batroc stands and throws a grenade at the pair. Steve deflects the bomb with his shield while grabbing onto  Natasha and jumps through the glass window before it explodes. The bomb goes off at the same time glass flies everywhere. I swear as I brush off glass and check myself for cuts.

"Okay. That one's on me." Natasha says as I look up and glare at her as I find a cut in my leather jacket. The wound already healed up underneath.

"You damn right." Steve says, walking away in anger with me following him, shaking my head slowly. I am getting to old for this shit.
