VI

Bucky and Adalyn headed north and entered an abandoned building. They walked around and Redwing came up behind them.

Bucky and Adalyn swatted at Redwing, the latter jumping in the air to try to get him, who moved out of the way and Falcon said, "Oh-ho-ho. Don't hurt him."

When the two found Sam, he was looking at footage Redwing had captured.

Without looking up, Sam said, "You're both doing the staring thing again." Bucky and Adalyn shot a dirty look to Sam who jerked his head to the right. "They're in there."

"Where's the guy?" Bucky and Adalyn asked, glancing at the footage.

"I don't know. I think they're smuggling weapons, though."

"Well, I think you could be right," Bucky replied.

Adalyn took a moment to think, studied the footage and her surroundings. "Hmm. But there's only one way to find out. I see a clear path. I say we take it."

"We're not assassins," Sam reminded them.

"This is the only clear way I can see to go in."

Bucky looked at Sam. "Ada and I'll see you inside or not."

Adalyn and Bucky walked away.

Sam, still looking at the device on his wrist, said, "Hey, come on, man, Ada. I'm just messing with you two. Come back. Look at you two. All stealthy. I can see why you two love each other." He chuckled.

"Shut up," Adalyn retorted. "Romance and the mission are separate things."

"You and Bucky clearly seem find time for some sort of romance during missions. A little time in Wakanda and you come out White Panther and Dark Dove."

"It's actually White Wolf," Bucky corrected.

"It's Shadow Dove," Adalyn said.

"Huh?" Sam asked.

Bucky and Adalyn took one way around while Sam took another way, found by Redwing.

"All right, Ada and I are inside. Therefore, way ahead of you."

"It's not great, but very doable," Adalyn added, seeing Sam. "Huh?"

"Hello," Bucky greeted sarcastically as he looked around in slight surprise. "How are you?"

"Good. What did I miss? Nothing," Sam shot back.

Adalyn scoffed lightly. "All right, let's go."

Sam stopped them and said, "No, wait."

"I got a Vibranium arm," Bucky argued. "Ada's a Super Soldier. She and I can take them."

"And I can fly. Who gives a shit? Wait. I want to see where they're going."

Adalyn squinted as she looked across the way and said, "There's two people. Buck, agree?" Bucky nodded.

"You two only see two?" Sam shook his head.

"That's what Ada and I saw," Bucky replied.

"Let me see what Redwing sees. Let me see."

"All right," Bucky and Adalyn said as they rolled their eyes.

"Let's see what Redwing... Oh, look at that. How many people you two see now? One, two... Oh, here it comes again." Bucky sighed and Adalyn huffed. "Four. Five."

"Yeah, five," Bucky stated. "Yeah. So they're strong. Whatever. All right, let's go." The two Super Soldiers tried to move again.

"No, no, wait," Sam protested, hitting something which caused a loud clatter. "Shit."
