Whiplash- Book 2

Chapter 12

"Because I'm not the only winter soldier," Bucky replies with a wince. He stood up and rolled his shoulders back.

"Who were they?" Steve asks with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Their most elite death squad. More kills than anyone in HYDRA history. And that was before the serum," Bucky says, making you look down in thought.

"They all turn out like you?" Steve asks.

"Worse..." Bucky trails as he glances at you yet again.

"The doctor could control them?" You ask with a slight fear glimmering in your eyes.

"Enough," Bucky gulped as he took a step towards you.

He figured you'd flinch away, but you weren't even fazed by it.

"He said he wanted to see an empire fall," Steve says as he looks down.

"You talked to him?" You ask as you turn towards Steve.

"For a minute before he escaped," Sam replies.

"With these guys he could do it. They speak 30 languages, can hide in plain sight, infiltrate, assassinate, destabilize, They can take a whole country down in one night. You'd never see them coming," Bucky says, talking about the other winder soldiers yet again.

"Wait Wait I've heard of these people. They were put on ice after everything went down weren't they?" You ask Bucky. He nods, surprised you knew.

"Steve these guys are bad news. I glanced over their list of abilities and skills, it's not very good for us," you say as Bucky takes another small step towards you.

"This would have been a lot easier a week ago," Sam says as he rubs his face.

"If we call Tony-," "No, he won't believe us," you cut off Steve.

"Even if he did-," "Who knows if the Accords would let him help," Sam cuts Steve off.

"We're on our own," Steve says as you smirk.

"Not necessarily," you say as you pull out your burner phone. Steve shakes his head with a smile.

"I know a guy too," Sam says with a toothy grin.

"Then let's get to it..."
Meanwhile-

"I don't suppose you have any idea where they are?" Secretary Ross asks Tony over the phone.

"We will. GSG-9's got the borders covered. Recon's flying 24/7. They'll get a hit. We'll handle it," Tony replies as he leans on the table.

"You don't get it, Stark. It's not yours to handle. It's clear you can't be objective. I'm putting Special Ops on this," Ross says with a snappy voice.

"What happens when the shooting starts? What, do you kill Steve Rogers?" Natasha asks Ross as she sits in a chair next to Tony.

"If we're provoked. Barnes would've been eliminated in Romania if it wasn't for Rogers. There are dead people who would be alive now. Feel free to check my math," Ross says confidentially.

"All due respect, you're not going to solve this with boys in bullets, Ross. You gotta let us bring them in," Tony pretty much begs Ross.

"How would that end any differently from the last time?" Ross asks, talking about the Bucky incident.

"Because this time, I won't be wearing loafers and a silk shirt. 72 hours, guaranteed," Tony says, hoping it would work.

"36 hours. Barnes. Both of the Rogers. Wilson," Ross says as he hangs up.
