My hand rested on the handle of the gun in my holster, not daring to leave it in case an enemy tries to ambush us. Ms. Hill placed her hand on my shoulder reassuringly, she speaks with her gaze and I nodded.
I take my hand off the handle and continued to trek through the green woods that led to the Potomac River, it delivered a cool breeze with each step, not at all humid. We arrive at an opening and see in the distance the Triskelion in all its glory, not that the glory is going to last long after this mission ends.
My last mission before I can rest, and I remember one thing that the trainers back in HYDRA told us: Failure is not an option.
I turn around and see Rogers several feet away from us, he stared at the Triskelion with determination and a sense of courage, but I could see that he was afraid- even if it was just a tiny bit. "We can save him," I said all of a sudden, my tone optimistic, Rogers looked at me and nodded, knowing exactly who I was talking about.

"Climb up to the vents?" I repeated as Mrs. Hill tasered an armed security guard, we were only a door away to the control room.
"Yes. I meant what I said," Ms. Hill handed me a type of remote control, it was small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, and only one button. "Climb up and crawl straight until you get into the control room, press the button and it'll interrupt their signal and disable their communication devices. They'll think to open the door to fix the dish."
"Got it," I replied, it was only fit for me to go because I was the smallest. I pointed to the air vent on the ceiling, a large metal cover stopping any entry. "Uh- but how do we detach the cover?"
Rogers threw his shield up at the air vent cover and it fell right off, bent and deformed, the shield flew down and he caught it effortlessly.
We all looked at each then back at Steve.
"What?" Rogers shrugged innocently.
"Give me a boost will ya?" I resumed to the topic, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Rogers gave me boost up and I managed to get into the vents, I laid flat on my stomach and began to crawl forward, looking down at the small openings when I saw inside the control room.
"I'm right above, you there yet?" I whispered to the earpiece, the mask that was given to me didn't muffle my voice, but made it much clearer.
"We're right at the door, on my count press the button." Ms. Hill's voice buzzed in reply.
"3, 2, 1."
I pressed down at the button and the workers at the panels and monitors gasped, taking off their earpieces.
"Must be the dish," one of them told the other, as he tried to press a few buttons on his side of the panel.
"I'll go check it out." a worker volunteered, getting up from his seat and pressing is I.D badge at the scanner.
My eyes narrowed as I climbed forward to get a better look at the door where the three others were going to enter.
"Excuse us." I heard Rogers say, I was relieved that they entered without any difficulty.
I scooted back and fisted my hand, and punched hard on the vent cover. It plummeted down and the screws flew away, it startled many of the workers who were being threatened by Wilson and Rogers to leave.
I jumped down and landed perfectly on my feet, crouched down, the old skills were coming back. I tossed the remote to Ms. Hill and she caught it effortlessly, then tucked it onto her belt.
