Split Personality

Chapter Fourteen

James' POV

I sat in the back of the quinjet so I wouldn't be in everyone's way. My head was spinning when I kept thinking about what is going on with Steve and Tony. 'What are they doing to them? What is going to happen to them? Why do they need Tony?" I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder, I looked up to see Sam standing there. "You ok Bucky?" He crouched down to be eye to eye with me. I slowly nodded since I didn't know what to say. He got up and sat next to me, "It will be ok Bucky. We will get them back. Don't worry ok?" I slowly nodded again before placing my head on my hands.

Sam shook my back and I looked up at him in confusion. "Let's go. We are here." I quickly looked up and saw that he was right. I picked out my gun from the rack before following everyone outside. "What is the plan?" Rhodey asked. Clint shivers before talking, "Well we have to wait for T'Challa to get here then we can travel up the mountain to the base." Sam rubbed his hands together, "In the meantime, can we wait in the quinjet, it is freezing out here." Clint and Nat nodded their heads before walking back, I just stood outside since the cold didn't really bother me. "You coming Bucky?" Sam asked. "I am going to stay out here, when T'Challa comes I'll get you guys." He nodded and closed the door. I haven't been back here since the fight with Tony. I never really wanted to come back here but getting my friends back is more important.

It was about 20 minutes before T'Challa's jet landed near ours. I walked over to the quinjet and banged on the side to signal for them to come out. "Barnes, what are you doing out here? I thought you would be inside with your group." T'Challa stated. "I am used to the cold. I also wanted to make sure they knew you were here." The rest of the group came out. "Bucky, how do we get up there? I don't think Rhodey and I could carry everyone." I laughed a bit as I walked over to the side of the mountain, I felt around trying to find the handle. I felt it under some ice, I took my knife and cut the ice away from the handle. I could feel everyone staring at me while I did it. When I opened it I felt a wave of heat fall out of the corridor, "Well, this is an old passageway I used to take to get in and out quickly. It will take us to a, hopefully, empty room. When there, we will have full access to the building if everything falls into place."

They all walked over and stood around, "Well lead the way since you know this better than we do." Nat said. I walked in first but turned around to make sure the last person in closed the door, thankfully it was Sam and he did. The passageway was full of twists and turns leading to different parts of the building or hidden rooms underground. Just walking takes 10 minutes to get to the room but if we run we would get caught. "One more left and we will right under the room we need to get in. Stay quiet and don't run, they will hear us if we are not careful." I said loud enough for everyone to hear me but not the people upstairs.

I took the last turn and stopped walking when I neared the ladder. Everyone filed into the room and looked at me. "So. Do we go up or do we stay here and not do anything." Sam asked. I gave him a glare before I stepped on the ladder, "You guys stay down here for a bit. I need to see if anyone is upstairs. I'll give you a single when it is clear to join me." They all nodded and watched me as I ascended. I opened the hatch as quietly as I could, which almost didn't work since it was rusted over but I managed. I looked around the room and saw a few desks and chairs that were not there before. It looked like an office now, which is strange because there is a blood stain in the far right hand corner of the room.

I heard someone walking towards the door and I quickly ran behind the nearest desk. The door opened and two people walked in. "Do you think Mr. Bennett will actually kill the Captain if he hurts Stark?" "You know him, he will. Mr. Bennett will hurt or even kill him if he doesn't follow orders." "That just doesn't seem right. We need him, we took him for a reason and if he just messes up one order and kill him, we wasted all that work!" "Well we can't do much. All we can do is follow orders or we will get treated the same way that Mr. Bennett treated Mr. Turner. Just stay quiet and just follow orders ok."
