The Dragon Princess (Bucky Pairing)

5

Peggy, Ashley and Steve in a plane piloted by Howard.

"The Hydra camp is in Krausberg, tucked between these two mountain ranges. It's a factory of some kind." Peggy explains.

"We should be able to drop you right on the doorstep." Howard offers.

"Just get me as close as you can." Steve corrects. "You know, you two are gonna be in a lot of trouble at the lab."

"And you won't?" Peggy inquires.

"Where I'm goin', if anybody yells at me I can just shoot 'em." Steve jokes.

"They will undoubtedly shoot back." Peggy smiles.

"Well, let's hope it's good for somethin'." He knocks at his shield. Ashley comes over, checking all her equipment. Shes wearing black boots and skintight leather suit. Two silver swords peak out over each arm while two pistols and daggers, with diamonds in the hilt, are at her hips. "Your not going."

"Of course Im going." Ashley snaps as she braids her hair. "Youll need a distraction."

"It has to be a big distraction." Peggy points out.

"I can do big." Ashley and Peggy share a look.

"Agent Carter, if we're not in too much of a hurry I thought we could stop off in Lucerne for a late night fondue." Howard suggests. Peggy looks awkwardly at Steve who's getting ready to parachute.

"Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen. He's mad enough to brave this airspace, we're lucky to have him." Peggy offers.

"So are you two...? Do you...? Fondue?" Steve inquires.

"This is your transponder. Activate it when you're ready and the signal will lead us straight to you." She ignores Steves awkward and confused rambling.

"Are you sure this thing works?" Steve asks.

"It's been tested more than you, pal." Howard answers. As their plane is being attacked Steve goes towards the opened door of the plane to jump.

"Get back here! We're taking you all the way in." Peggy argues.

"As soon as I'm free, you turn this thing around and get the hell outta here!" Steve orders.

"You can't give me orders!" Peggy scowls. Ashleys smirks and jumps out first.

"The hell I can't! I'm a Captain!" He looks at her and then jumps out of the plane after Ashley.

Ashley glances at the fence and frowns, trying to figure out a strategy. She smiles as a plan forms in her head... Well more of a rough idea. The skeleton of a plan. The backbone. She shifts into a spider and creeps under the fence, doing her best not to get stepped on. A Hydra agent walks by, alone. No one else in sight. Ashley shifts back to her human form and slits the agents throat with one of her daggers. He goes down, gurgling, as Ashley proceeds. She can hear footsteps. Many. And multiple scents. Allied prisoners shuffling through the building. Well its now or never. She takes a deep breath and shifts into a bird before flying into the sky. Then as she reaches the clouds, she shifts into a dragon, her black and red dragon form making her almost invisible against the night sky. Suddenly, a light hits her, reflecting of her scales. More join in, illuminating her entire body. Her yellow eyes scan the ground as she roars at the sudden light. Shouts from the Hydra agents as she swoops down and lands. Some come closer, circling her as he head swings from side to side. One of the braver agents shoots her but the bullet bounces off her scales. She turns to him with a somewhat raised eyebrow before she lunges forward. The other agents cry out as she grabs the agent between her teeth and shakes her head before throwing him away. They starts shooting, the bullets bounce off her, harmlessly, and she roars before spewing fire all over them. Once she has managed to take out all of them, she replaces herself with an illusion. A very realistic illusion as she shifts, now invisible to everyone, and slips inside the facility as illusion Ash spews fire over the area and causes chaos.
