Battlefields and Inn (Pt2)
With the interview over with the owners of the Cashtown Inn, everyone got to work with distributing the equipment. Just like the previous night, they investigated long and hard. The following day, Darcy went and reached the property before Steve and Natasha talked to the client. When they were done with the Cashtown Inn, everyone went and got ready for the next location.

"As everyone can see... we are at the battlefield of Gettysburg. So that means that everyone needs to be involved. You will be carrying voice recorders, hand held video cameras and regular cameras. Do I make myself clear?", said Tony. "Yes", everyone said in unison. With everything that they needed to investigate, everyone went off into pairs. Steve and Natasha went north on the battlefield. Bucky and Darcy went east. Jane and Thor went south. Tony and Rhodey went west. And then Sam and Clint wound up going to a nearby cemetery as Happy looked over the cameras at base.
"Are you able to get anything?", Steve asked Natasha as they broke into the tree line. "Oh, yeah, definitely. You know, the usual just amplified. Hurt, sadness, death, misery", Natasha said. Steve raised an eyebrow at her, but continued to walk.
"You got anything yet, Platypus?", Tony asked. "No, Tony. Not yet", Rhodey sighed. "Ok... But you'll let me know, right?", Tony then said. "Yeah, Tones. I'll let you know", Rhodey confirmed. "Cool. Cool", Tony said.
"Watch out for any roots, doll", Bucky said as both he and Darcy entered the tree line as well. "That was one time", she grumbled. "Darce, you had a broken ankle for a month", Bucky said as he faced her. Darcy looked down at the ground, "I know." Bucky tipped her chin up. "I just worry about you", he said. "I know. And I appreciate it", she said. Bucky smiled at her before giving her a chaste kiss. "Alright, doll. Let's go hunt some ghosts", he said before walking again.
"Hawks", Clint said. "Falcons", Sam said. "Hawks", Clint said again. "Falcons", Sam responded. "Dude. There is no way that falcons are better than hawks", Clint said as they were walking into the cemetery. "That is your personal opinion. But mine is that falcons are better than hawks", Sam said as he panned his hand held camera. "Whatever, dude", Clint mumbled. "Whoa, dude! Hold up!", Sam suddenly said. "What?", Clint asked. "Dude, come on! I just saw something", Sam said as he led the way.
"Tonight's such a good night to look at the stars", Jane said as she looked up at the night sky. "Yes, it would be, my love", Thor said also looking up. "They are so beautiful", Jane then said. "Not as beautiful as you", Thor said as he looked down at her. Jane blushed and grabbed his hand for them to continue searching the south part of the battlefield.
After a couple of hours, everyone regrouped before going to different places.
"This is Darcy and Bucky. We are headed for the cemetery", Darcy said to her hand held camera. "And supposedly Sam and Clint saw something here earlier", Bucky commented. Darcy nodded at the information. Bucky was about to say something when he saw movement a few feet away. "Darce... I just saw something", he said. Both Darcy and Bucky walked to where he saw something. Suddenly Darcy saw an apparition of a Union soldier slowly walking towards a grave. "Bucky... Are you seeing this?", she whispered. "Yeah and I'm taping it", he softly said. The apparition then disappeared. They then went to where the soldier was. Unfortunately, they didn't get the answers that they wanted on the gravestone.

Union Soldier

"Ok, let's do an EVP session", Bucky said. "Yeah, sounds good", Darcy said in agreement. "We saw you over here by this grave marker. Is this you? If so, what is your name and rank?", Bucky then said. They stayed quiet for a couple of minutes. "If you are hesitant to speak to us, please don't feel like you can't. Bucky here was also a soldier. He knows what it's like to go through that trauma", Darcy said. "Darcy's right. I was a soldier. In fact, I was a sergeant. So as an officer, I order you to tell us your name and rank, soldier", Bucky said in a demanding way.
They stayed at the cemetery for an hour before heading back to base where everyone was waiting. After packing everything up, they all went back to the hotel and slept.

In the morning, Darcy, Jane, Happy and Sam went through all the evidence. After hours of going through the evidence, Sam got Darcy's attention.
"Hey, Darce. This is you and Bucky at the cemetery", Sam started to say. Everyone turned to listen to him. "Now watch and listen to this", he continued to say. Everyone watched on the big screen as they saw the apparition show up and disappear. They continued to watch as Darcy and Bucky did the EVP. "I order you to tell us your name and rank, soldier", Bucky said. "Corporal John Barnes, hundred and fifth", a soft male voice said. "Holy shit!", Darcy said. Everyone was amazed by the evidence. But they knew that they still had more to cover. So Darcy put it in the back of her mind to do more research on Corporal John Barnes.
When the evidence was done, everyone joined together. They were all amazed by the proof of several apparitions and voices. But when they got to the one with Darcy and Bucky, everyone was floored. Darcy then told them of her research and found out that it was indeed a distant relative of Bucky's. With everything done, Tony was ready for the next case.
"Alright, everyone. Good job. Now I know that you guys are ready to go to the next town. But I was able to get us the Jennie Wade House. Are you guys okay with that?", Tony said. Everyone nodded and got ready for the next case.
