Changed (Captain America)

Chapter 16

I ride behind Steve on his motorcycle. My arms wrapped around his waist as we zoom down the road towards HYDRA. Trees fly past us and disappear from my vision in a blur. My eyes scan the surroundings for any of HYDRA.

Steve and I turn a corner in the woods and six HYDRA motorcycles join us on our journey through the woods.

"Steve, six behind us." I say in his ear and he nods that he heard me. "I'll tell you when and what to release." I say and another nod. I watch behind and I front of us. I watch blue beams burst from guns and at us.

I look forward and see two trees ahead of us parallel to each other. I look behind and watch the bikes behind us and I quickly turn forward.

"Wire in 3...2...1..." He fires and a wire from the bike hits the two trees. The first four motorcyclists duck just in time and the last to get caught in the wire, knocking them off their bikes and their bikes running into a tree exploding. I let out a little cheer. "Four left." I say to him and he nods.

I watch behind us for a minute and the bikes catch up. I think the fire would be a good choice. The fire would melt their tires so I decide not to use my fire to prevent people from knowing what I can do.

"Us the fire now." I say to him and he lets it go. I hear yells from the men when they see the flames and it burns through their uniform. Their bikes flip and the two behind it smash into their bikes. I cheer.

"Two ahead of us." Steve says and I look ahead of the bike. I see two bikes there and a gap in between. I smile and notice they have grenades on the back.

"Steve, go faster and in between the bikes." I say to him and he looks back at be like I'm crazy. "Do it." He nods and does as I say. I grab a grenade and flick loose the pin. The men look at us and I give them a friendly wave. "Faster." I say to him and throw the grenade behind me.

It blows up and I shield Steve from the heat. After a few minutes we come up upon the beginning of the base. Steve places his shield in front of the bike, blocking the hits from hitting him.

Blue blast dissipate on the shield as we continue through to the middle. The bike skids, avoiding blasts from hitting us. We get close to the door and Steve presses a button to keep it going straight and up right.

Steve turns around and grabs me around the waist. He jumps off and we roll across the ground. I quickly jump up to my feet along with Steve. We run along the ground, side by side, knocking people out and two the ground.

My daggers slice into people's skin as I stab them. Steve slams his shield into their body and knock them back. He sees two people coming our way and he throws his shield. He knocks one down and the shield hits another. It flies back and he grabs it by his arm. He slides it on his arm.

Suddenly there are two men with flames coming out of a machine on each arm. We both stop, even though I can absorb the flames, Steve can't and I don't want to show off my powers. We back down and the men put us in cuffs.

We are dragged into a laboratory and shoved in and to a stop. I see the Red Skull standing there and I don't hesitate to send him a death glare. We don't speak up as he walks over to us, looking at us.

"Arrogance may not be a uniquely America train, but I must say you both do it better than anyone." He walks around us. "But, there are limits, to what even you can do, Huntress, Captain." He says, his German accent standing out clearly. "Or did Erkstein tell you otherwise."

Now that comment really gets my anger going. I was supposed to protect Erkstein and it was my fault he died and now this moron has to bring him up in the midst of a battle. He doesn't know that gives motivation to me.
