Sergeant Higgins/ Iron Man Lovestory

Bullet hole

Lenna was again on her way to Novi Grad. Her coat's ends flew in the wind created by the fast speed of her motorcycle and the coldness threatened to freeze her nose so she ducked it inside of her turtleneck sweater for warmth.

"Vitali, my man." she greeted him. "Leonid, hello." Vitali nodded. "I just wanted to say that I got myself a radio station so we can keep contact if you need me." Lenna said while looking from Vitali to the translator. "It could help us. Talk to Vladim, Vitali's brother, he'll give you the radio channel we use." the translator suggested. "Thanks."

"Leonid, Vitali wanted you to meet his right hand. He can speak English also so I won't be the only translator if you need anything." the translator nodded toward a man nodding at something that Vitali was telling him. "Name?" Lenna asked quietly. "Call him Baron."

Lenna bought some food that should last long time. She loaded up her backpack when the translator ran towards her. "Leonid! Hey! We need your help!"

Lenna dropped her bag next to her motorcycle and ran with the translator. "What happened?"

"The hostile gang came and there is shooting." the translator blurted out, clearly in stress. Lenna pulled out her pistols and jumped behind a dumpster with the translator when she saw a grenade thrown their way. She ripped her coat open and covered the translator and herself with it. "Thanks." the translator mumbled before standing up again and brushing her coat clean from the dust. "You okey?" Lenna asked and took a hold of the translator's arm. "Thanks to you." she smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Lenna blushed because normally other girls didn't kiss her cheeks but right now she was Leonid so it should be normal. "Let's get you to Vitali." Lenna muttered out before running away again.

In the midst of shooting she pulled the translator close to her. "You don't shoot?" Lenna asked while offering her the other gun. "No. I talk, Vitali shoots." the translator explained. "If I may know, what's your name?" Lenna asked. "Alisa." she answered shyly. Lenna nodded and pulled her forward to find Vitali.

"Vitali! Where the fuck are you?" Lenna shouted over the gunfire. A hand waved at the distance and she started sprinting towards there with Alisa in tow. "Vitali. I got her back. Where is the enemy?" Lenna asked quickly while pushing Alisa towards him. "Thank you, Leonid." Vitali said while kissing Alisa's cheek. Alisa explained something to Vitali before getting back to Lenna. "They are over there. In the old factory. Take Baron with you." Lenna nodded and started shooting while running towards the huge building with Baron following her. Vitali shouted something but she couldn't understand what.

"He ordered us to kill the leader when we see him." Baron said. "Um thanks man."

Lenna entered the building and took immediately cover. Baron followed her. They moved in the shadows until they found some members of the hostile gang. Lenna could have taken them out with ease because of her advantage over them. But with the first shot it was known that they were inside and they had to act quickly. Lenna shot one guy then jumped up on a table from where she pushed herself into a jump while she took out three guys. Baron took out a man and held him up infront of him while taking out two other guys.

They moved up the stairs and found someone who looked very pissed off. He shouted and waved around with his gun. "Enough of this bullshit." Lenna shot straight through his forehead. With ease they took out the four guards around then. "Nice work man. We'd make a good team." Lenna smiled at Baron who nodded at her comment. Lenna quickly lit up a cigarette, offering one to Baron too, but he said that he didn't smoke.

When Lenna came out of the building a shot rang through the air towards her. "What the fuck man?" she called out and looked down at the bullet hole. "Are you alright?" Baron asked while looking at the man who had shot Lenna. "Leonid! Are you alright? He shot you!" Alisa hurried to her side with Vitali. "I'm fine. Wait... I'm not fine, where the fuck is my cigarette?" Lenna chuckled while looking around. "Your cigarette is the smallest problem. He shot you!" Alisa scolded her and took a hold of her leg. She burrowed her brow and grabbed it from different places. Vitali looked between Lenna, Baron and Alisa. "Mmm... Leonid?" Alisa asked. Lenna sighed and lifted the edge of her trousers showing them her metal prothesis. "A little advancement." she joked and winked at Alisa. "I see..." she was still shocked. "If you don't mind I'll go home now." Lenna smirked and walked away while putting her guns in their holsters and lighting up another cigarette.

"There's some mystery in this man." Alisa mumbled to herself and ignored the confused look that Vitali gave her.

"That could have gone better." Lenna mumbled while stitching the bullet entry hole in her pants shut. She leaned towards the table and turned on the radio station wishing to hear that stunning voice again. After a long silence a very polite British man started talking.

It is you again. I'm afraid I don't know your name and your connection has weakened.

"Well, um... I can't tell you my name."

Very well, sir. I'm afraid I must send out an alert.

"Can't we do this any other way?"

After some time of silence, someone started talking again.

Hello, who ever you are.

It was that male voice again.

"Hey... Look I'm sorry that I spied on you like a week ago."

How can you operate such an old thing, man? Like how's it possible that thing still works?

"Good luck and some old TV part?"

Very well. I'd like to see that.

"No can do. I'm kinda in hiding."

Well, hide all you want. But I'll find you someday.

"Someday doesn't work for me. Could we reschedule it on the Friday after someday?"

Oh, I have to ask my assistant. Hey, Cap! Come say hi to this stranger that has a radio station as old as you.

Lenna was afraid that Steve might identify her. She tried to assure herself that the voice changer worked well enough and he had no reason to think that it was her.

Umm... Hello?

"Hi."

I'm not sure what to say...

"No problem, Cap. I must go anyways. You know make fire and sew my bullet hole shut."

Bullet hole? Sir, do you require medical attention?

"Nah, man. It's nothing I can't handle."

Sir, are you sure?

"Completely."

Lenna shut her side off before Steve could convince sending her a doctor. She laughed at the idea of what a doctor would say if she would show them her pants with a bullet hole.
