The Dragon Princess (Bucky Pairing)

6

Allied HQ in London

"The fifth one was here in Poland, right near the Baltic." Steve marks it on a map. "And the sixth one was... about here, 30, 40 miles west of the Maginot Line." A soldier takes the map away. "I just got a quick look."

"Well, nobody's perfect." Peggy smiles. They walk over to Phillips and another map.

"These are the weapon factories we know about. Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map." Steve explains.

"Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base." Phillips orders.

"What about us?" Peggy inquires

"We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass. What do you say, Rogers? It's your map, you think you can wipe Hydra off of it?" Phillips asks.

"Yes, sir. I'll need a team." Steve observes.

"We're already putting together the best men." Phillips agrees.

"With all due respect, sir. So am I." Steve smiles.

In a bar, Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, James Montgomery Falsworth, Jim Morita, Dernier and Steve sit around a table.

"So, let's get this straight." Dugan begins.

"We barely got out of there alive, and you want us to go back?" Gabe questions.

"Pretty much." Steve shrugs.

"Sounds rather fun, actually." James comments.

"I'm in." Jim belches. Dernier and Gabe start speaking French, Dernier laughs, they shake hands.

"We're in." Gabe offers.

"Hell, I'll always fight. But you got to do one thing for me." Dugan states.

"What's that?" Steve asks.

"Open a tab." Dugan laughs. Steve gets up.

"Well, that was easy." Jim admits. Steve goes over to the bar.

"Another round." Steve sighs.

"Where are they putting all this stuff?" The barkeeper jokes. Steve joins Bucky and Ashley at the bar counter.

"See? I told you. They're all idiots." Bucky huffs. Ashley chuckles.

"How about you? You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?" Steve mocks.

"Hell, no. That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him. But you're keeping the outfit, right?" Bucky teases.

"You know what? It's kind of growing on me." Steve admits. He glances at Ashley.

"Dont even plan on making me stay." She warns. "You know what happened last time you tried to stop me."

"Wasnt planning to." Steve chuckles. Ashley guessed that he liked having his organs inside his body.

"Good." Ashley nods with a smile.

"Youre coming?" Bucky inquires.

"Well since you seem unable to stay out of trouble then you obviously need me." Ashley smirks around her whiskey. Bucky chuckles and wraps his arm around her waist, pressing a kiss to her lips. Steve smiles watching his two best friends. The singing in the bar stops as Peggy in a tight fitting red dress walks in.

"Captain." Peggy smiles.

"Agent Carter." Steve greets. Bucky and Ashley separate.

"Ma'am." Bucky offers.
