"Oh, you gotta stop the Nazis!"
“The fifth one was here in Poland, right near the Baltic. And the sixth one was about thirty to forty miles west of the Maginot Line.” Steve said looking up at Peggy after someone took the map he marked up. “I uh.. Just got a quick look is all.” Peggy smirked slightly and raised an eyebrow at him. “Well, nobody’s perfect.” She nodded with her head to follow her as she walked away. “Come on. You have a few others to talk to.” Steve nodded to himself as he trailed behind her. They met up with Phillips who sent a few men off to do god knows what. “Rogers, report. What do we know.” Steve glanced at Peggy, who gave him an encouraging smile before he returned it and began to speak. “These are the weapons factories, at least the ones we know about. Sergeant Barnes and Captain (Y/N) both confirmed that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn’t on this map. Captain (Y/N) believes that he may know where it’s located but would like to do some research on it before he leads a wild goose chase with no end.” Phillips nodded for a moment and looked over to them before he made his way around the table. “Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every Allied eyeball lookin’ for that main Hydra base.” They followed behind him as they listened to him speak. “And what about us, sir?” He turned to them with a small smirk. “We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt’s ass.” he said as he took the papers from the blonde next to him. “So, what do you say, Rogers. It's your map. You think you can wipe Hydra offa it?” Steve stood up a bit straighter and nodded. “Ye, sir. I’ll need a team.” he glanced up at Steve for a moment. “We’re already putting together the best men.” Phillips said before flipping through the documents. “With all due respect, sir, so am I.”
Steve looked around at the men he sat in front of with a small smile. “So let’s get this straight.” Dugan started after he put down his mug. “We barely got outta there alive, and you want us to go back?” Jones said and Steve tilted his head a bit then nodded. “Pretty much.” Falsworth laughed softly before nodding. “Sounds rather fun, actually.” before Morita belched and gave Steve an appraising look. “I’m in.” Dernier sat up a bit straighter with a smirk and stated, “Je combattrai jusqu'à ce que le dernier de ces bâtards soit mort, echaine ou bien qu’il pleure comme un nouveau-né!” Jones laughed softly before replying, “J’espere tous les trois!” The two of them laughed together, shaking hands before Jones looked up and cleared his throat a bit, clearly embarrassed that he forgot no one around him spoke french. “Uh, we’re in.” Steve nodded with a smile at them, mentally reminding himself that he needs to learn French at some point. “Hell, I’ll always fight. But you gotta do one thing for me.” Dugan said as he drank the last of the alcohol in his mug. Steve smirked a bit. “And what’s that?” Dugan lifted up his mug a bit towards him. “Open a tab.” Everyone laughed at his comment before Morita said “Well, that was easy.” when Steve got up and went to the bartender with the empty mugs. “Another round.” Steve said and the bartender shook his head in disbelief. “Where are they puttin’ all this stuff?” Steve laughed and shrugged, leaving the small gang behind to go and search for Bucky. When he rounded a corner and saw him sitting at a bar side, Bucky laughed softly. “You look happy. Told you so, huh?” Steve shrugged and sat next to him as Bucky drank. “They said they would fight.” Bucky downed the last of his drink. “They're all idiots.” Steve rolled his eyes and turned to him a bit as he spoke. “How ‘bout you? You uh.. Ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?” He said with a small smirk. Bucky let out a small laugh. “Hell no. That lil’ guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight. I'm following him.” He said with a small smile and a fond look as his eyes left the table and met Steve’s. He held his gaze for a moment before looking away with a smile of his own. “But you're keeping the outfit right?” Bucky teased him a bit, causing Steve to let out a deep sigh and look back at him. “Ya know what? It’s kinda grownin’ on me.” After a few moments the singing from the other room stopped abruptly. Steve and Bucky leaned back to see what happened, only to see Peggy walking in wearing a stunning red dress with her lips painted to match. “Captain.” she said with a fond smile. Steve stood up to greet her properly and gave her a small nod. “Agent Carter.” Bucky stood up as well and not so subtly checked her out. “Ma’am.” he said as she looked over to him briefly. “Sorry I’m late to the party, I had to bring in the guest of honor.” She said, leaving the two very confused before (Y/N) walked in, wearing a clean uniform, close to Steve’s. “Cap. Serge.” (Y/N) said as he took his place next to Peggy. “Had to pull him away from Howard’s side. Convincing these boys to take a break is a difficult task. Speaking of, that’s the reason I'm here. Well mostly. The boys have some equipment for you to try. Tomorrow morning?” (Y/N) gave an unbothered shrug as Steve nodded slightly, a bit dumbfounded by Peggy’s appearance. “Of course. Sounds good.” Peggy took a moment to look into the next room before looking back at Steve. “I see your top squad is prepping for duty.” Bucky gave (Y/N) an amused look but he shook his head at him. Bucky decided to ignore his silent warning. “You don't like music?” Peggy hardly spared him a glance as she held eye contact with Steve. “I do, actually. Might even, when this is all over, go dancing.” she said, giving Steve a small smile that he reciprocated. “Then what are we waiting for?” Bucky said with a small smirk as he stared at her. “The right partner. 0800, Captain.” she said softly as Steve’s blush rose to his cheeks, giving them a nice pink hue. “Yes ma’am. I’ll be there.” she glanced over at (Y/N) for a moment before looking back at Steve. “Cohen. You as well. Howard wont shut up unless you’re present to showcase your designs to the boys.” (Y/N) let out a gentle laugh. “Of course Peg. I’ll be there.” she nodded in acceptance before finally breaking eye contact with Steve and walking out of the room, leaving the three with each other. “I'm invisible. I'm turning inta you. It’s like a horrible dream.” Bucky said with a slightly joking tone but (Y/N) knew he was at least slightly serious. “Don't take it so hard. Maybe she’s got a friend.” Steve said as he patted him on the shoulder and sat down with him. (Y/N) let out a small laugh. “He’s just upset that his Lothario charm didn’t catch her. Then again, it doesn't help that she has a type.” Bucky raised an eyebrow at him before it clicked and he laughed with a slight shake of his head. “Wow. I never thought I'd live to see the day.” he mumble but Steve heard him anyway. “Live to see what, Buck?” He said a bit confused with a raised eyebrow but Bucky shook his head. “Nothin’ Steve. Just thinkin’ is all. She’s a lot like Dottie huh?” Steve let out a small laugh as (Y/N) leaned against the table, accepting a drink from the bartender who silently passed it to him. “Yeah, I suppose she is, isn't she?” Steve said softly with a smile. “And here we have our own Stevie, completely doll dizzy folks. What a sight it is, folks. What a sight.” (Y/N) said in an announcer voice that cause Steve to groan in annoyance and Bucky to let out an amused laugh. “You shut your mouth (Y/N). It’s not.. It’s not like that and you know it.” Steve tried to argue but (Y/N) shook his head a bit. “Stevie. You and I both know you like her, what's stopping you?” Steve sighed softly. “I dunno.. Maybe when the wars over it might be somethin’ I pursue but until then it's only a dream for me.” (Y/N) sighed softly but nodded, patting him on his shoulder. “Okay. I won't push but I think it’s fair to tell you, she feels the same.” Steve looked up at him from his seat and watched him down his drink before carefully setting the glass down. “I got some work to finish up but you know where to find me if you need me.” He sent them a wink before making his way out the same way Peggy left. Bucky let out a small sigh as he watched him leave. Steve nudged him slightly with a raised eyebrow. “I’m fine Steve.” He said before sipping on another drink the bartender provided. “You don't look fine. What's eatin’ at you.” Bucky shrugged a bit before swirling his drink in his hand slightly. “You think he and Howard are.. You know..?” He said, leaving the question open, letting Steve fill in the blanks. Steve shook his head a bit before talking in a low voice to prevent anyone from listening in. “Buck.. (Y/N) is so heels over head for you that I would be shocked if he wanted anyone but you.” Bucky nodded a bit before Steve got up, giving him a small pat on his back. “I’ve got some things I gotta take care of but I’m here if you need me Buck.” He just nodded a bit as he stared into his glass with a bit of a far away look.
When morning came, (Y/N) walked into the “lab” area, only to be met with a loud explosion going off. He sighed deeply before going to the source of it, only to find Howard being helped up by one of his assistants. “You really couldn't help yourself huh?” Howard looked up at him a bit but gave him a big smile. “Science waits for no man, (Y/N). I wasn't about to wait for you to drag yourself here before I start doing tests.” He said before he passed him and went for his papers. “You are insufferable, Stark.” he said with a small smirk that he returned. “So, I finished part two of our gift to the boys.” Howard raised an eyebrow at that and looked away from his papers. “Already? You haven't even been on it long.” (Y/N) shrugged a bit. “When I told you I was a mechanic for my uncle until I moved out, I wasn't lying. It wasn't that hard gettin’ it all together.” Before he could ask any other questions, Peggy came in with Steve and Bucky in tow. (Y/N) gave them a small smile but it dropped when he noticed the tension between Peggy and Steve. (Y/N) gave Bucky a questioning look but he just shrugged a bit. “Captain Cohen. A word.” (Y/N) gave the boys a small “Be right back, sorry.” before he trailed after Peggy to talk. When they got far enough away from Steve, she stopped and sighed softly before turning to him. “What happened Peg.” he asked softly and let her hug him. He gently patted her back as she took the time she needed to, to compose herself. “I caught Steve snogging some.. Blonde private.” she said softly and (Y/N) gave her a look of shock. “My Steve.. Really?” She sighed and nodded as she crossed her arms. “He made some odd comment about Stark and I and fondue. This boy is just.. Has he always been like this?” (Y/N) shook his head a bit. “Yeah.. he's a bit rough around the edges when it comes to women, especially ones as beautiful and smart as yourself.” he said with a small smile. “Do you think throwing something at him will make him understand i’m upset?” (Y/N) paused for a moment before letting out a small laugh. “I would surely think so, Peggy. Just take it easy on him, maybe talk it out? He’s never been with someone before so he’s gonna get a bit.. Lost.” He said with a kind tone. Peggy looked up at him with a small glare. “We are not together.” (Y/N) raised an eyebrow at her. “But you’re jealous he kissed someone.” Peggy just avoided his gaze before standing up a bit straighter. “It’s not jealousy. Captain Rogers can do what he wants, with whomever he wants to.” she said, trying to convince herself more than him. “Whatever you say, Peg. Whatever you say.” he said before giving her a small smile and walking back to Howard and the boys. “The moment you think you know what’s going on in a woman’s head is the moment your goose is well and truly cooked.” (Y/N) heard Howard say as he rounded the corner into the main part of the lab. “Me, I concentrate on work, which at the moment is about making sure you and your men don't get killed.” (Y/N) let out a small laugh as he picked up one of the many knives that littered one of the tables. “Howard, you neglect your own health to work. I think you should start focusin’ on oh, I dunno, maybe getting more than two hours of sleep in a three week period and making sure you eat somethin’ that isn't junk.” (Y/N) commented, making Howard turn to him with a slightly annoyed look. “You’re a laugh, aren’t you. He’s lying, he’s lying.” he said, giving (Y/N) a pointed look that made him raise an eyebrow in response. “No no, i think i'm correct in the assumption that you get the barest minimum sleep you can.” Howard sighed and shrugged, raising his hands in defense as (Y/N) toyed with the knife before putting it back, giving Bucky a small wink. He huffed slightly and gave him a smile before he turned his attention to all the people rushing about, ignoring Howard for the most part. “Rogers. Carbon polymer should withstand your average German bayonet, although I doubt Hydra will be attacking you with a pocket knife.” he said as he started to go down the line of items he had on his table. “I hear from some reliable sources that you're kind of attached, hmm?” He patted the shield Steve used when he broke into the Hydra facility. “It’s handier than you might think.” Howard ignored his statement as he walked to the shields he had prepared for him to view. “Well, I took the liberty of coming up with some options.. well, we both did.” Howard backtracked when he saw (Y/N) raise his eyebrow at him, knowing damn well he had asked (Y/N)'s input while he was busy with his own project. Steve tuned him out and accidentally cut Howard off when he picked up a shield that looked deliberately hidden from him. “What about this one?” Howard waved the question away as (Y/N) smirked, coming to stand next to Bucky, who was looking over the weapons that were laid out. “No, no, that’s more of a prototype than a finished product.” Steve raised it up a bit, getting a better look at it. “What's it made of?” (Y/N) took a seat on the table Bucky was busy with. “Vibranium. I told you he’d want that one, Stark.” Howard sighed softly and gestured to the shield. “It’s stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It’s completely vibration absorbent.” Steve tried on the shield and smiled softly when it fit like a glove. “How come they aren't standard issue?” He said in confusion. “That’s the rarest metal on Earth, Stevie. Can’t find that stuff anywhere.” (Y/N) said loud enough for him to hear and Howard nodded in agreement. “What you’re holding there, that's all we’ve got left.” Steve raised an eyebrow at that. “Left? There was more?” Before (Y/N) could answer, Peggy rounded the corner. “You quite finished, Mr. Stark? I’m sure the Captain has some unfinished business.” Peggy said with a bit of annoyance in her voice. (Y/N) raised an eyebrow and leaned back a bit when she stopped directly next to him and Bucky. Steve being none the wiser, turned to her fully and held up his shield with a small smile. “What do ya think?” She paused for a moment before taking the gun Bucky was holding out of his hands and fired four rounds at Steve, hardly giving him any time to block the bullets. Everyone but (Y/N) and Bucky took cover and watched the scene unfold. Steve slowly peeked out from behind the raised shield and looked at her with a bit of hurt and confusion. She held the gun out to Bucky, while keeping eye contact with Steve as he took it. “Yes, I think it works.” she said with a forced smile before walking past him. (Y/N) let out a low whistle and Bucky put the gun back on the table he got it from. Howard slowly went to stand by Steve as they watched her leave. “I uh.. Had some ideas about the uniform.” he said before passing him a sketch. Howard took the paper from him and nodded slightly. “Whatever you want, pal.” he said as they stared after her. In admiration or shock, (Y/N) couldn't tell. He slid off the table and clapped his hands, bringing the attention to him. “Well, on that event I think it’s time I show you what I have for you two.” (Y/N) said in a happy tone, like he didn't just see Peggy try and shoot his best friend. “If you lot will follow me, it's a real treat.” he said before making his way out of Stark’s main lab and towards the section (Y/N) was granted to work in. When they arrived he gestured to the two large things covered with a beige tarp. “So, Stevie. The first one is yours. I call it the Patriot. She’s got enough horsepower to pull a tank and is extremely durable.” He said as he took the tarp off the first one, revealing a motorcycle. “She’s a beauty ain't she?” he said as he watched Steve walk over to it nodding. He gave Bucky a small smile before walking over to his. “And yours, I call Valor. She has a state of the art electric engine. Perfect for stealth because it’s so quiet.” he said before uncovering his bike. Bucky immediately went up to it and started checking it out. “Wow (Y/N).. these are amazing..” (Y/N) blushed slightly and nodded, keeping his head down a bit. “Ah well.. Stark helped a bit. It's the reason that we don't have any left over Vibranium. Stark helped me incorporate what was left of it into the bikes so they’re able to last as long as possible. The only thing left is the paint job.” Bucky put an arm around his shoulders, pulling him close. “We appreciate this, really. I’m sure you’ll help us come up with the colors. I’m thinkin’ black?” (Y/N) smiled softly and rolled his eyes. “Now that this is outta the way, whos ready to prep to stomp some Nazi scum?” Howard nodded slightly before he went to get the shield and everyone's uniforms ready. Bucky snuck a haste kiss before he pulled away to follow Howard. “That boy is gonna be the death of me, Stevie.” he said as he looked after Bucky, missing the look Steve gave him. “I’m sure you’ll survive. Come on. We got work to finish.” he said softly, gaining his attention. He blinked a few times before sighing dramatically. “Of course Cap. Let’s get to it.”
As they prepared for their departure, (Y/N) made a detour towards the section where he knew a few secretaries would be. “(Y/N), you do know that we need to be leavin’ soon right?” Bucky said as (Y/N) led them through the halls. “I know I know, just give me a few minutes.” He said before leaving Bucky and Steve behind a bit. When he approached the lady at the desk he gave her a kind smile. “Hello Ma’am. Captain (Y/N) Cohen, friend of Dorothy. I was wonderin’ if you might be able to help me with somethin’.” He said softly but it was enough for her to give him a moment of her time. “Of course sugar. What can I help you with?” she said sweetly as (Y/N) gestured for the boys to come closer. “I was wonderin’ if you could be ever so kind and make a copy of our tags? Just one of each would be more than enough.” he said as he took off his tags and gestured for Steve to give him his as well. “(Y/N).. come on.” he was shushed and Steve begrudgingly gave over his as well. She laughed softly at them before accepting the tags. “Of course dear. Want me to make a copy for the wives as well?” (Y/N) sent her a grateful nod. “If it’s not too much trouble.” she waved her free hand, dismissing his worry. “Nonsense. I’ll be right back.” she gave them a small smile as she stood up then went to the back room to make them copies. “(Y/N), we could get in trouble for this.” he just shrugged a bit and Bucky let out a soft laugh. “What’s one more rule to break? We seem to have a knack for it if you ask me.” Before Steve could let out another complaint, the lady came back with several copies for them. (Y/N) held them for a moment and said a small, “Thank you.” then clipped each one of their tags to Steve’s chain and his to their own before slipping them on. He kept Steve’s extra tags before giving one of each back to the lady. She tilted her head slightly at him. “Did I make too many?” he shook his head. “No, I was gonna ask if you could ship these with a small note home? I’m sure they would appreciate havin’ them just in case.” he said softly and she nodded as she placed them in her desk to mail later. “Of course. I’ll make sure they get them.” He held his hand out and she hesitantly gave him hers. He placed a small kiss on her knuckles before releasing her hand. “Thank you. I will forever be grateful for this.” She gave him a small laugh and a slight shake of her head. “Just win the war, Captain. That would be payment enough.” He chuckled a bit before nodding, letting Steve lead the way back to where they were meant to be. “What was all that about?” Steve asked, lost as usual. Bucky rolled his eyes a bit. “He got us copies so we don’t lose each other. She a Bambi?” (Y/N) nodded. “I know one when I see one. I’m just happy she actually helped us out really.” Bucky shrugged a bit. “Gotta stick together huh?” Steve huffed a bit. “Bambi? Was that her name?” (Y/N) shook his head and gave him a small pat on his shoulder. “No, she’s a lesbian Steve. That’s what Bambi means. And before you ask, no I don't know a Dorothy. It means I’m “gay”. It’s a close community and people outside of it usually don’t know the terms.” he shrugged a bit before holding out his tags to him. “Here. Give these to Peggy. Don't fight me on this, I’ll just give them to her myself if you refuse.” Steve looked like he was debating before he actually took the tags. “Thank you.” (Y/N) gave him a soft smile before walking ahead of them. “Alright, no more sappy stuff. Let’s go bash some heads.” He said as he walked ahead of them, oh their way to meet up with the team. When they reached their team, Peggy and Howard were giving everyone the rundown on how to use the new weapons they were provided. (Y/N) clapped to get their attention. “Let’s move out boys! We got some Nazi’s to kill!” he said, causing them to cheer in agreement. He ushered them on their transportation, letting Steve have a few moments with Peggy. He sat next to Bucky, his leg touching his as subtly as possible as he watched Peggy and Steve. A small smile made its way onto his face when he saw her hug him before he pulled out the tags. She looked like she was about to cry when he put them around her neck and kissed her hand how he saw (Y/N) do with the lady they met earlier. When Steve made his way on, he gave him a knowing smile that caused Steve to blush softly. (Y/N) got comfy, resting his head back as he prepared for travel. It was going to take a while and they needed all the rest they could get before burning all the bases to the ground.
