five.

"We've got a problem," Stark bursts into the training room. Bucky and I stop our mock fight, breathing heavily as we turn to him.

"Aida," He starts, "She went full crazy robot."

"That's such a surprise," Bucky grumbles. He glides the back of his hand against his forehead, wiping away the sweat from our training session. Stark adds, "It get's worse."

"We're listening," I cross my arms over my chest.

"They have Agent May. Radcliffe sent in an LMD of himself and May. I don't know what his endgame is, but I swear to God this man-"

"Whoa," Bucky puts his hand out, "LMD?"

"Life Model Decoy; an android," Stark explains, "And to make it even better, Radcliffe teamed up with a Russian mob and they captured Director Mace."

"Why would he do that?" Bucky asks, before shaking his head, "Also, when did Radcliffe become a bad guy? I thought he was helping SHIELD?"

My heart falters, "The Darkhold."

"That book?" Stark asks.

"Yes," I sigh, "Radcliffe glimpsed at it and it must of been enough for it to take him over, like Eli."

"Well, he still has it," Stark admits, "He sent in the May LMD to retrieve it. Now he can create whatever he wants."

"How has all of this happened and we haven't heard a thing?" Bucky asks, annoyance lacing through his voice.

"They've known for weeks. They didn't tell us that they had a robot invasion-"

"Tony," I stop him, "You really can't blame them, can you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ultron ring a bell?" I ask. He groans loudly, and dramatically might I add.

"I've created revolutionary tech, am one of the biggest superheroes in the world, saved thousands of lives," He paces, frustrated, "And I'm known for my rebellious robo-kid."

"Why did they finally let us know?" Buck changes the subject.

"Because they need backup, of course," He shakes his head. "Barnes, you're going in with Steve, Romanoff, and I. Everyone else is on their separate missions."

"Why aren't I going?" I question.

"Politics," he answers simply, "Senator Nadeer wants your head right now. If you're out in the field after Mace paraded you around in front of the press, she's going to find a way to tear you down with them."

"So?" I scoff, "I don't care about-"

"Ade, he's right," Bucky sighs, "This situation is because SHIELD played with something they shouldn't of. If they catch sight of this in general, it'll be a bloodbath. You being involved doesn't just jeopardize the Avengers and SHIELD, it jeopardizes all Inhumans."

I cross my arms, "That's just not fair."

"I know, Flora," Stark says, gripping my shoulder, "Coulson's team found the Russian base that Radcliffe is on. We have to head out now."

"Alright," Bucky answers, before we're all leaving the training room.

Bucky and I get to our room. "I should be going."

"I know," he goes to his closet and pulls out the pieces of his suit. He goes into the bathroom and the shower turns on, "Believe me, I wish you were."

"Then help me convince them to let me," I walk into the bathroom, hearing the water run down his body and hit the floor. He waits a few moments, considering as he washes the sweat from our training session off him.
