Captain America, Supergirl, Black Widow, and Falcon vs. The Winter Soldier
As they drove down the highway, the trio discussed a plan to stop the Insight’s attack on the planet. So far, nothing they had come up with would work.
“HYDRA doesn’t like leaks,” Sitwell told them, still fearing for his life.
“Then why don’t you try sticking a cork in it?” Sam suggested as he drove. “Cap, you get ahold of Kara yet?”
Shaking his head, Steve looked at his phone. “No. Which is weird, considering we both have something to lose in this.”
Leaning forward from the backseat where she sat next to Sitwell, she looked at Steve. “Insight’s launching in sixteen hours. We’re cutting it a little bit close here.”
“I know,” Steve told her. “We’ll use him to bypass the DNA scans access the helicarriers directly.”
Sitwell freaked out upon hearing this new plan. “What? Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible-”
Before anyone could fathom a thought, the back window on Sitwell’s side was broken, and he was thrown from the car. The trio watched as his body flew into the other lane and was hit by a semi-truck before realization hit them.
Only a second later, Natasha rolled onto Steve’s lap, pulling his body to the side while simultaneously kicking Sam away with her foot. Then the bullets hit their headrests, and they knew they were in for a bigger fight than expected.
Hitting the brakes, they watched as their car skid to a stop, and the body of the Winter Soldier flew off the roof. He rolled for a second before his hand dug into the ground and slowed journey. Natasha lifted her gun to shoot when the back of their car was plowed into by an unmarked bulletproof vehicle belonging to SHIELD
They were pushed across the road at high speed, and no amount of effort was stopping them. Just as they thought they had no other options, they felt the weight behind them ease and looked to see that the car had been pulled from on top of them.
“I thought you could use a little help,” Supergirl told them smugly before throwing the car at the approaching Winter Soldier.
Suddenly the car hit the median and was thrown into the air. Grabbing on to his friends, Steve prepared to fall. “Hang on!”
Pressing against the passenger side door, the trio felt it come loose as they fell to the asphalt. Upon hitting the ground, Natasha held tight to Steve while Sam felt his body start to detach from them. Just as he prepared to slide across the ground, he was grabbed by Supergirl and wrapped in her cape as they rolled, protecting him from being inured by the asphalt.
“Thanks.” He said as they stood and looked around them.
“Watch out.” She grabbed him again and pushed him behind her as bullets started spraying in their direction. “Get behind that car!”
He did as she told him to and ducked as the bullets started to hit his new shield. He watched as the alien used her heat vision and freeze breath to get the agents off of him before hurrying to his side. “Are you hit?”
“No, I’m good.” He told her honestly, looking around for other threats.
They heard a loud bang and looked up in time to see Steve fly off the bridge. “No!”
“He’ll be okay,” Sam told her. “He always is.”
“Yeah, I know, but still.” She replied. “By the way, if you have a plan, now would be a really good time to get started.”
“I do, but I also need to get in touch with our techie, so she knows what’s happening.” He said quickly, grabbing a discarded gun from the ground.
“Something tells me she already knows,” Supergirl smirked. “You good here?”
“Yep, I got it. You go cover Cap.” Sam told her, already starting to shoot at other hostiles.
Without replying, Kara shot into the air, blasting some of the men as she went. Flying to the ground, she heard the Winter Soldier speak to his comrade in Russian.
Она у меня. Найдите его.
She knew that he was saying he would be going after Nat, and Kara couldn’t let him do that. As he landed on the car below him, he hit the ground in front of him, denting the asphalt. He jumped down off the car and threw a punch at her face that hit, but barely fazed her.
"Слово совета: если вы собираетесь ударить меня, ударил меня сильнее. Потому что, если вы собираетесь нокаутировать меня вам лучше сделать это в первый раз ".
(“Word of advice: if you’re going to hit me, hit me harder. Because if you’re going to knock me out you better do it the first time.”)
The soldier’s eyes widened a bit at that, and it gave Kara the perfect opportunity to kick him with enough strength to make him fly into the side of the bridge. Nodding in victory, she heard the creak of a bus near her and turned in time to see three guards rapid firing at her boyfriend as he flew out one of the windows and grabbed his shield.
Using her super speed, she raced over and covered him before blowing everyone back. Then she reached behind her, grabbed his shirt, and threw him forward at one of the men. She quickly followed behind to attack the others that were advancing on them.
Just as she took down the second soldier, she heard Steve’s voice whisper from far away. “Go help Nat. I got this.”
Without hesitation, she flew off into the sky to locate her friend. The second she saw her, she also saw the Winter Soldier headed in her direction and grew angry.
“This guy is seriously starting to piss me off.” She said aloud to only herself.
She heard Nat’s voice fill her ears about a rendezvous point, but as she looked at the woman, her lips didn’t move. Smirking, she knew the redhead had set a trap and waited to see what would happen. She watched as he fell for it, thinking he’d gotten her, but then realizing the truth.
When Natasha made her appearance, Kara shot down to help. The fight didn’t last long, but it did result in the unfortunate bullet hole in Nat’s shoulder. Waving her away, Kara distracted the man just long enough for him to lose sight of her.
Knowing now that his bullets wouldn’t harm her, he tripped her up and grabbed her around the neck with his metal arm. As she went to rip it off, she saw Steve racing over, and then her body was thrown through the air before it crashed into a heap of deserted cars.
Groaning, she lifted herself on one arm and watched as the men fought each other. It was only when Steve got the upper hand and knocked the other soldier away did his mask fly off, and he hesitated.
Speeding over to Steve, she crouched next to him. “You okay?”
“Been better.” He said truthfully. “You?”
“You know I am.”
They watched as the Winter Soldier slowly rose from the ground before turning to look at them. She felt Steve’s body tense immediately and looked at him in concern. His face was pale, and his eyes were sad.
“Bucky?”
“What?” Kara whispered to herself as she looked back at the man.
The soldier stared at them. “Who the hell is Bucky?”
The couple stood in shock, and as the soldier raised his gun to shoot, Sam flew in out of nowhere and knocked him away. Realizing he was outnumbered, he raised his weapon at them, causing Kara to block Steve. Then he shot at the truck behind them, causing a distraction big enough for him to escape.
Turning, they saw Natasha injured and hiding behind another car as she made her way over to them. In the distance, but growing ever closer, they heard sirens, and Steve turned to Kara. “Get out of here.”
“Steve…”
“Go. We’ll figure this out.”
Knowing they were caught, but also knowing she couldn’t do anything about it, she growled. “Fine. But at least give me this.”
Grabbing his shield, she shot over to Sam ripped the pack that held his wings off his back. Ignoring his complaint, she watched as the cars pulled up before shooting into the air and disappearing faster than they could think. Though they held their guns in her direction, no one fired anything, knowing it would not have any effect on her.
Then they turned their guns to Sam, Steve, and Natasha. These three they had cornered.
“It was him,” Steve told his friends as the sat handcuffed in reinforced steel in the back of a SHIELD armored van. “He looked right at me like he didn’t even know me.”
“How’s that even possible?” Sam asked. “It was, like, seventy years ago.”
“Zola,” Steve muttered. “Bucky’s whole unit was captured in ’43. Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and…”
He trailed off as Natasha spoke. “None of that’s your fault, Steve.”
“Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky.” He said sadly.
Natasha leaned her head back in pain, and Sam saw the blood flowing out of her shoulder. “We need to get a doctor here. If we don’t put pressure on that wound, she’s gonna bleed out here in the truck.”
The agent closest to them lit up a HYDRA weapon that had Sam cringing back. Then they swung the taser around and stung their fellow soldier until he fell to the floor.
Taking off her helmet, Maria groaned. “Ah…that thing was squeezing my brain.” Then she saw Sam. “Who is this guy?”
“A friend,” Steve told her. “God, am I happy to see you.”
“Do you guys just know like, everybody?” Sam asked incredulously.
Smirking at his confusion, Steve shook his head. “What do you say we get out of here?”
