Pilots took to the roof where the jets were grounded. "All SHIELD pilots, scramble. We're the only air support Captain Rogers has got." A SHIELD pilot said, speaking into his radio before a jet exploded above them.
Bucky emerged from the smoke and began firing his gun at the various agents and pilots, killing them.
Quickly grabbing a fallen grenade, the Winter Soldier tossed it into a jet causing the aircraft to explode before it could take to the sky.
A pilot began shooting at Bucky, who blocked the bullets with his metal arm before knocking him out.
Another pilot had already aimed his gun at the soldier only for him to be kicked back into a plane's engine as it began lift off.
Making his way on top of a jet and startling the pilot inside, Bucky shot at him and climbed inside before taking off with the jet.
"Disabling the encryption is an executive order, it takes two Alpha Level members." Pierce stated.
"Don't worry, company's coming." Artemis smirked slightly.
As the brunette said this, a helicopter landed on the helipad, just outside of Pierce's office.
To his surprise, he sees Fury step out alongside the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff.
Fury and Natasha both enter the building and walked into the office, the Director glaring directly at Pierce.
"Did you get my flowers?" Pierce asked only for Fury's glare to become colder. "I'm glad you're here, Nick." He said.
"Really?" Fury asked. "Cause I thought you had me killed." He stepped closer towards Pierce.
"You know how the game works." The senior official answered.
"So why make me head of SHIELD?" The Director questioned.
"Cause you were the best and the most ruthless person I ever met." He responded.
"I did what I did to protect people." Fury stated.
"Our enemies are your enemies, Nick." Pierce said. "Disorder, war. It's just a matter of time before a dirty bomb goes off in Moscow, or an EMP fries Chicago. Diplomacy? Holding action, a band-aid. And you know where I learned that; Bogota. You didn't ask, you just did what had to be done. I can bring order to the lives of seven billion people by sacrificing twenty million. It's the next step, Nick, if you have the courage to take it."
"No, I have the courage not to." Fury replied and took Pierce over to the retinal scanner while Natasha aimed her gun at him as Artemis activated the scanner.
Pierce chuckled slightly. "You don't you think we wiped your clearance from the system?" He questioned the Director.
"I know you erased my password, probably deleted my retinal scan, but if you want to stay ahead of me, Mr. Secretary.." Fury trailed off and removed his eyepatch, revealing his scarred, dead eye.
"You need to keep both eyes open." He finished and they both turned towards the retinal scanner, Fury using his dead eye.
"Alpha Level confirmed. Encryption code accepted. Safeguards removed." The computer spoke as Fury and Pierce looked at one another.
"Charlie Carrier's forty-five degrees off the port bow. 6 minutes." Maria's voice chimed just as Azar flew towards the last carrier, her body engulfed in a glow of cosmic energy.
"On my way up." Azar responded.
"Sam, get me to the ground. I'm headed to Artemis and Fury. You stop Rumlow from getting anywhere near close to that office and keep him away from the Council." Steve instructed as she neared the Helicarrier.
"Copy that." She heard Sam respond.
Upon landing on the carrier, Azar looked around and saw no signs of any potential threats.
She narrowed her eyes as she walked across the deck slowly, eyeing her surroundings very carefully.
The brunette didn't like this one bit. It was way too quiet, way too easy for her liking.
Slowly making her way inside, she once again, checked her surroundings only to be met with the silence that really unsettled her.
She made her way up to where the targeting blade system was located but came to a halt at who she saw standing in front of her, a soft gasp leaving her mouth as his empty, icy blue gaze stared coldly at her.
Keeping her stare on him, she raised her hand slowly, bringing it to her ear. "Guys.." She said calmly speaking into her earpiece. "We have a problem."
"What's wrong?" She heard Sam's voice respond to her.
"He's here." Azar replied.
"Sam, get me up there--" Steve instructed but was quickly cut off.
"No." She said and let out a heavy breath that she hadn't realised that she was holding.
"I've got this." She responded into her earpiece and slowly brought her hand down to her side as she stared at Bucky.
She took a slow step forward. "People are going to die, Bucky." She began. "You know I can't let that happen."
The brunette was met with silence, the soldier staring at her with cold, emotionless eyes, his face void of all emotion.
Shaking her head slowly, Azar knew that he wasn't going to back down so easily.
"Don't make me do this, please." She begged softly but Bucky continued to stare at her with no emotion.
His silence was all she needed to know what was about to happen next..
