Things We Lost - Bucky Barnes Fanfic

5. Saving the 107th

Steve, Jessie, and Peggy were riding in a plane that was piloted by Howard. Peggy was showing the Captain and Sergeant a marked map.

"Hydra camp is in Krausberg. It's up between these two mountain ranges. It's a factory of some kind."

"We should be able to drop you around the doorstep," Howard remarked. 

"Just get us as close as you can," Steve replied. "You know you two are going to be in a lot of trouble when you land."

"And you won't?" Peggy questioned.

"Where we're going, if anybody yells at us, I can just shoot them," Jessie said, showing Peggy the rifle.

"And they will undoubtedly shoot back."

"Well, let's hope this is good for something," Steve replied, knocking his knuckles on his shield.

"Sergeant Evans," Howard spoke. "If you're not in too much of a hurry after this, I thought we could fly and stop off in Lucerne for a late night Fondue." He smirked. The three in the back of the plane were silent, Peggy and Steve looking at Jessie. She took a deep breath.

"Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen," she said, breaking the silence. "He's mad enough to brave this air space. We're lucky to have him."

"So you two?" Steve asked Jessie, referring to her and Howard. "Do you? Fondue?"

"Stark, I thought you always said that work was more important than women," Jessie yelled to Howard.

"This is your transponder," Peggy said handing Steve a remote looking box. "Activate it when you're ready, and the signal will lead us straight to you."

"Are you sure this thing works?"

"It tested more than you, pal," Howard replied. Shots were fired at the plane from below. Steve and Jessie stood up heading to the door, parachutes on their backs.

"Get back here, we're taking you all the way," Peggy said.

"As soon as we jump, turn this thing around and get the hell out of here," Steve replied, opening the door.

"You can't give me orders."

"The hell I can't. I'm a Captain." Steve jumped out of the plane and was soon followed by Jessie. Both of them released their parachutes and landed on the ground a few feet from the entrance of the base. They heard trucks and motorcycles heading their way on the road. They hid behind bushes and waited till the last truck drove by. When it did, they ran after it, jumping into the back. Two Hydra guards sat there staring at the two.

"Fellas," Jessie said. The two guards got up to attack Steve and Jessie, but they beat the guards up, throwing them out the back of the truck. Once the truck was parked inside the Hydra base, a guard came walked to the back of it and lifted up the fabric. Steve was hiding behind his shield and hit the guard in the face, making him fly back. Steve got out of the back, and helped Jessie. They began to run trying to make their way to the prison block. They hid behind tanks when guards walked by. They got to the main factory room, hiding behind missiles and capsules. They found a Tesseract powered device. Steve picked up a small device, putting it in his pocket. The two made their way to the Prison block. On the skywalk was a lone guard. Jessie walked in sniping the guard in cold blood. The prisoners from the 107th were down below and saw the guard fall. Jessie ran over to him and took the keys.

"Jessica?" an African American prisoner asked. Jessie knew the men in the cell to be her trainees and friends. She recognized the voice to be Gabe's.

"Hey fellas," Jessie replied.

"And who are you?" he asked Steve as he walked to the door of the cell. Jessie tossed him the keys through the bars and began to head to their level.
