Hail Hydra

I'm Sure

       "What do you mean that you used to?" "Steve, it's a long story that we don't have time for at the moment," Bucky tried to explain. Steve hesitantly nodded and turned to Sam and Bruce, who had made small talk.

       "You guys wanna continue talking or should we head inside?" Bruce looked up at Natasha and cut himself off. "Umm....inside, right?" Natasha started walking towards the abandoned building, everyone turning to follow.

       Instead of going inside, the Natasha let the group to the parking area. "Uhhh...Nat? Didn't you say we were going inside?" "I have a surprise for you guys, first." They walked up a few levels and stopped on the fourth. On the other side of the floor, there was a blue Beetle, and to black motorcycles. Sitting on the hood of the Beetle, was a blond haired woman.

Sharon Carter.

              "That took you longer than I expected."

              "Well, you can't always be straight to the point."

       "It's nice to see you guys, again," she said, while pushing herself off the vehicle. Sam and Steve nodded, while Bucky put his head down. "Well, most of you." "Yeah, about that—" "Don't. Okay? I'd rather not hear about it." Bucky nodded, meekly. He wanted to explain his situation to her, maybe become friends, but didn't want to make her upset.

       Sharon walked around the to the back seat and opened the door. As soon as she did so, a holy, salty smell filled the air. "Anyone want Chinese food while we converse?" Everyone immediately nodded. After Sharon handed each person their meal, they each found a place to sit, their plan to head inside now completely forgotten.

              "What do we know so far?" Sam asked, who, somehow, was sitting on the roof of the car.

       "Hydra has taken over S.H.I.E.L.D., and are working on reaching their safe houses. Stark Tower has been overrun by Hydra Agents, and the rest of the Avengers haven't been heard from since," Natasha explained from her bike. "And Nick Fury?" Sharon asked, who was sitting on the hood of the car again. Natasha shook her head. "Nothing. No messages, no location, we......we just have to hope for the best."

       The group went silent. There wasn't much that they could do. They're just a group of soldiers and spies. Sure, some of them had special abilities, but in the end, they were regular people. They seemed.......helpless. 

       Suddenly, Bruce, who was standing on the other side of the car, got an idea. "You guys keep thinking! Natasha, come with me!" Before anyone had a chance to respond, Bruce had grabbed Natasha's hand and pulled her along with him. Through a full mouth, she yelled back, "Nobody eat my food if you want to live!!"

       "What was that about?" Steve shook his head this time. "No clue." "I guess you can never know with scientists..." Buck, who was in the backseat of the car, responded in an attempt to get a laugh, but only earned a chuckle from Steve.

       "What we need to do is send someone into Stark Tower. It's a really big building, so there has to at least be some important information in there," Sharon started. "So we need a spy? Like, someone on the inside?" Sam inquired. "Yeah, basically."

              "I'll do it."

       Everyone still there turned to face Bucky. "Are you sure about this, Buck? This is Hydra. The same guys that had you under their control. It wasn't even that long ago." "If he says he can do it, then he can do it. We just need to make sure he's prepared," Sam answered for him, but Steve ignored him.

              "Are you sure?"

       He hesitated to answer, but ultimately said the words,

              "I'm sure."
