Life of the Rogers #1

Chapter 7

"For an 18-year-old, you sure are childish."

"Fuck off you're only a year older."

"And a year wiser."

"You still don't know what a hallpass is."

Chase scoffed, "I know what it is, I just don't know the use of it, wether you give a kid hallpass or not they're going to ditch school one way or the other, just don't waste paper."

Alice mocked him, "Pass me the eraser."

Sat on top of the dorm building the two young adults passed time by doing whatever they could think of, in their case, doodling, and Alice had been childish the whole session.

Chase sat opposite her, one leg dangling off the edge as he observed her, shoulders way too relaxed, slouched, constantly chewing of bottom lip, fidgeting with the pencil and so forth.

All the things she does when stressed, well not these many just a few when stressed on camp but this is too much.

"Okay pencils down," Chase spoke, stealing Alice's pencil from her, her glaring in response, "What's wrong with you? You're fidgeting."

"YOU'RE fidgeting."

Chase sighed, "Really?" Alice shrugged mumbling.

"Spill. What's going on?"

"You know how I went to visit my friends a few weeks back," Alice started, "so I did something stupid, well not stupid, I got a pretty great response if you will, but still stupid enough, so stupid that I haven't gotten one letter-"

"Okay! You're rambling, deep breaths monkey." Chase took a breath himself, rambling Alice is no good.

"Okay I'm good, so I-"

"Alice! Chase! Get down from the terrace, briefing room, 10 minutes." Bucky called from downstairs, Alice and Chase groaned, "Okay 10 minutes!" Alice yelled down, getting up and organizing her stuff.

"Tell you later?" Alice spoke, getting him on his feet, "you bet," Chase replied following her downstairs.

Walking inside the briefing room, Alice and Chase took their seat as the colonel walked in, Steve already in front of the room.

"We got intel from one of our associates in HYDRA," Colonel spoke, "There's a train full of HYDRA weapons and intel en route to the main base, while this is a good chance to find the base, we will not be doing that, we will be taking control of that train."

"Just control?" Alice asked, "I mean if we've got a train full of HYDRA weapons and intel en route to the main base, shouldn't we find out the location of the main base through this?"

Colonel shook his head, "too risky," he pointed to the map, "The route the train will be running on is an extremely dangerous route, it's covered it snow, making it cold and slippery, one misstep and the whole operations gone and so is the team, I won't afford that."

Alice slumped back disappointed, this was not what she was hoping to do, but the Colonel had a point, they couldn't risk injuring the team or worse.

Guess they were taking control of a HYDRA vessel.

Alice stood to the back as she watched others do their assigned task.

Steve, Bucky, Pietro and Alice would be the ones boarding the train, the others off to the side of the mountain waiting until the four got hold of the train.
