The following morning, after getting home from his morning run, Sam Wilson went straight towards the fridge and got out a bottle of juice.
Just before he could even take a sip from the bottle, a knock sounded at the door, causing him to walk over and open up, revealing Steve and the Danvers twins.
"Hey man." Sam greeted the blonde.
"I'm sorry about this." Steve began. "But we need a place to lay low." He looked at his new friend.
"Everyone we know is trying to kill us." Artemis added.
"You two maybe, I have nothing to do with this." Azar piped up.
Sam paused for a moment, looking at the three heroes. "Not everyone." He replied and let them in.
Once Steve, Artemis and Azar were all cleaned up, they sat at the table in the kitchen, eating the breakfast that Sam had made.
"So, the question is: who in SHIELD could launch a domestic missile strike?" Artemis asked.
"Pierce" Steve answered.
"You guys do know he's sitting at the top of the most secure building in the world, right? Just to be clear." Azar said, as she leaned forward, taking a sip of her orange juice.
"But he's not working alone, Zola's algorithm was on the Lemurian Star." Steve answered the younger twin.
"So was Jasper Sitwell." Artemis replied as she now took a seat between Steve and Azar.
"So, the real question is: how do the two most wanted people in Washington kidnap a SHIELD officer in broad daylight?" Steve asked as Sam made his way over to the heroes.
"The answer is: you don't." He said as he dropped a file in front of Steve.
"What's this?" Steve asked, looking at the man as he stood to his feet, opening the file.
"Call it a resume." Sam joked as he watched the three heroes go through his file, Artemis picking up a picture.
"Is this Bakhmala? The Khalid Khandil mission, that was you?" She looked from Sam to Steve. "You didn't say he was a para-rescue."
Steve took the picture from Artemis, looked at it and turned his gaze to Sam. "Is this Riley?" He asked. "Yeah." Sam answered softly with a nod.
"I heard they couldn't bring in the choppers because of the RPGs. What did you use, a stealth chute?" Azar asked, continuing to look through his file.
"No. These." Sam answered while he handed Steve another file.
Azar got to her feet, as Steve opened the file, to take a look as well.
"You're kidding right?" The younger twin asked.
"I thought you said you were a pilot." Steve looked at Sam who smirked slightly in response.
