"Barnes. B-a-" "I know how to spell." Colonel Phillip s said, flipping through papers.
Cassandra stood silently behind Peggy. Looking at her hands as the man went through the papers, praying that her brother wasn't gone. When there was no reply, a tear slipped out of her eyes, and fell to her shoe, much to her dismay. She wasn't supposed to cry.
Steve walked away, and she followed him, Peggy in tow. She let Peggy go in front of her, wanting to be alone. As alone as you could be in an army base.
Her head picked up when Steve mentioned "going to save them." Cassandra stood in front of him, making herself as tall as she could.
"I'm going with you."

"Stark is the best civilian pilot I've ever seen. He's mad enough to brave this airspace, we're lucky to have him." Peggy said to Steve and Cassandra. "So are you two, do you, fondue?" Steve asked, pointing between Peggy and Howard.
Cassandra started laughing, but she immediately stopped when Peggy shot her a look. But she could still feel the big smile on her face. Peggy ignored him and handed him a tracker.
"This is your transponder. Activate it when you're ready and the signal will lead us straight to you." "Are you sure this thing works?" "It's been tested more than you pal," Howard said.
Cassandra strapped on a parachute, walking towards the door. She almost fell over when their plane began being shot at, but Steve caught her, pushing her back up. Steve threw the plane door open, and Peggy ran to the both of them.
"Get back here! We're taking you all the way in!" Peggy yelled, tugging at Cassandra's arm, trying to pull her back. "As soon as I'm free, you turn this thing around and get the heck outta here!" Steve ordered. "You can't give me orders!" "The heck I can! I'm a Captain!" Steve yelled before jumping out of the plane, Cassandra following close after. "Sorry Peg."
The wind blew past Cassandra, her stomach dropping. She almost forgot to pull her parachute.
"Agent! Parachute!" Steve yelled at her over the wind.
Cassandra tugged on the cord, releasing the parachute, and being blown back as it caught the air. She floated down, landing on the ground softly. Her boots touched the damp leaves, squishing underneath her feet. Steve waved her over, and pointed to a few Hydra trucks going by.
