"HYDRA doesn't like leaks." Sitwell voiced from the backseat of the car.

"Then why don't you try sticking a cork in it?" Sam sassed.

"Insight's launching in 16 hours. We're cutting it a bit close here." Astra informed, sticking her head in between the two seats in the front.

"I know, we'll use him to bypass the DNA scans and access the helicarriers directly." Steve revealed the portion of the plan.

"What?" Sitwell exclaimed. "Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible idea."

"Not as terrible as your face is gonna be if you don't shut up." Astra threatened, tired of his voice.

Right after she spoke there was a thud on the roof and the window was shattered. An arm grabbed Sitwell and threw him to the other road. Causing him to get run over by a truck.

Astra noticed the familiar arm and quickly moved to the front on top of Steve to avoid the bullets being shot threw. Steve acted quickly and put the car on brake. The Winter Solider was flung off the car and used his metal arm to skid him to a stop. They all stared at him as he stood up, but no one noticed the black van zooming towards the car until it crashed into them.

"Sorry." Astra mumbled to Steve, who was still under her as she tried to regain some balance. Sam sped the car forward as the Winter Soldier stood on the hood. He smashed the front window, tearing out the wheel. And finally Astra let her marking show and her hair change color as she created a knife and threw it. If the Winter Soldier didn't move so quickly he would have been struck.

The black van smashed into the small car again, steering it to the side. Steve grabbed a hold of his shield. "Hang on!" He grabbed onto Astra and Sam, so while the car was midair the door fell and they slid separately from the car. Sam rolls off a bit early, but Steve keeps a hold of Astra. So, when they stopped sliding the alien girl stood up immediately.

But, not a moment passed and the Winter Soldier shot a bomb at them. Steve pushed Astra aside, the bomb hitting his shield but throwing him off the bridge. That idiot. Astra judged in her hear. She ran behind a car, in attempts to not get shot.

She created a knife in one hand and peeked over. Once she found a target she threw it, landing exactly where she wanted.

She ducked under the car to avoid a bullet then creating another knife and threw it. Jumping on to the opposite side of the road when the Winter Soldier fired at her. She rolled to avoid a passing car and then slid on top another. She jumped off the bridge to avoid a flying car, creating a whip and swing on it safely down.

She sprinted to the other side. Seeing the Winter Soldier's shadow she got to a certain distance and stopped. She threw a few throwing stars, you know those little weapons that look like stars and are really sharp. She threw 5, none killed him unfortunately, but got him off guard. While he hid behind the side Astra ran to the side of an ambulance.

She kept shelter until the Winter Soldier fired a machine gun. She ran. You know what I want? A bazooka. She thought to herself while scolding herself for not being prepared.

As she ran she took out her phone and put on a voice recording. The youngest Stark set it down and ran to the other side. tricking the Winter Soldier to walk up, hearing the voice from the recording. He gently rolled a trigger bomb under the car as it rolled slowly. It gently hit the curb next to the telephone. The Winter Soldier held up his gun, aiming at the trigger bomb and took his shot, causing an explosion.

Astra made her my move, jumping off a car and kicking his gun away. She created a whip, trying to choke him, like he did her mother. But he threw her off and she landed with a thud as he grabbed his gun. Taking her bracelet clip that could stop machinery and threw it at his arm. Making her escape while his arm laid limp.

"Stay out of the way!" She yelled at civilians while she ran for her life. There was a quick shot and a bullet hit shoulder all too fast. She collapsed on the ground and sat up while her physical appearances normalized. Holding her hand on her gun shot wound and tried to catch her breath, as she was in shock.

She looked around for the shooter, behind her the soldier jumped on a nearby car, ready to shoot. Luckily, Cap showed up. Catching the Winter Soldiers attention. Astra watched them go at it a bit, throwing punches and blocking. She found the power in her to push past the pain and stand up to grabbing the gun.

Right before the Winter Soldier shot Steve, Sam swooped in, knocking him off his feet. Astra then took her shot. Off aim, but it managed to scare him away. Steve looked back at her leaning on the van as the supposed S.H.I.E.L.D vans pulled up. Guns pointed and everything. 

They were  outnumber. Some agents carefully walked up to her with cuffs and an injector. She didn't fight them, she was too smart for that. But she looked at the injector with fear as they injected the serum in her. It's purpose it to put her powers at ease. Basically meaning she can use her powers They were lucky that a news helicopter showed up, because if not, then Steve would be dead.

The Hydra agents shoved them all in a van with agents sitting close by. "Should've aimed better." Astra muttered.

"It was him." Steve voiced sadly. "He looked right at me, he didn't even know me.

"How's that even possible?" Sam questioned. "It was like 70 years ago."

"Zola." Steve answered. "Bucky's whole unit was captured in 43. Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall, they must have found him."

"None of that's you fault, Steve." The brunette affirmed.

"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky."

The pain in her shoulder started throbbing a sharp pain, the serum even kept her healing ability to work less efficiently. She bit her lip and rested her head behind her. "We need to get a doctor here." Sam noticed. "We don't put pressure on that wound she's gonna bleed out here on the truck."

The agent didn't seem to care, instead they threatened Sam to be quiet. A second later the agent stabbed the one to their left, knocking them out. The three all stared as they took their helmet off. "Ah, that thing was squeezing my brain." Hill complained. "Who's this guy?" She then asked, referring to Sam.
