AVENGERS: The Switch.

PART 9.

CLINT POV:
We sit and wait as someone tracks Barnes down. I'm curious as to how they're going to find him, because Russia is so large and depending on the transport he's managed to find, he could be a long way from the apartment by now. I'm also trying to stop myself from dozing off in this comfy chair, I feel Cap's head land on my shoulder, he's out. I notice Tasha constantly yawning, but I know she won't allow herself to let her guard down in a place like this, even after a promise from the boss.

When the boss and Galina enter the room, I push Cap off me, making him wake up as he hits the armrest. He glares at me, then sees who's entered and sits up straight. I notice Galina trying not to laugh as her boss speaks "He's been found." Cap speaks "You found him already? How long was I asleep?" "It doesn't take us long to locate our own people." "But there must be billions of cameras throughout Russia." "We didn't use the cameras. Each of them have a tracking device implanted when they start working for us, so that even if they're killed we can locate their body." A little chill runs down my spine.

That's great, but also very disturbing at the same time. They'd know where all of them are at every second of every day. There's no privacy.

She hands Galina some paperwork and explains to us what it is, having probably already explained it to Galina "He's on a bus, you have the bus route and the most recent stop he has passed. I've also included times, so you can match it up and meet him at a bus stop." Cap stands and holds out a hand to her "Thank you, Ma'am." She doesn't shake his hand, but nods politely "You should go, if you don't find him first, I may be tracking a dead body next."

We need to hurry, I've heard that if a soulmate dies during the switch they both die, I've also heard that if one dies the other gets permanently trapped in the wrong body. Honestly I hope we don't have to find out if either of those are true.

We hurry out of the building, we're going to head to the quinjet, but Galina grabs my arm, shaking her head. She guides us back to her apartment and I speak "We have to hurry, we don't have time to do anything else." Tasha retaliates "Well, you definitely can't fly the quinjet in your condition, you're knackered. I saw you trying not to fall asleep with Cap." "You're tired too." "I know. Galina isn't though, she was asleep before becoming Barnes, she's actually had rest." "So, where are we going?" "She said she has a car." As soon as we get to her apartment, she unlocks a beautiful red Packard Clipper, we get inside. Tasha navigates with a map and the paperwork we've been given, as Galina drives “You guys should take a nap.”
