Virus (Sequel to Glitch)

The Incident

"Not to my face. Why? Did you hear something?"

"Oh!" I say happily, "I said that! But don't worry, I only said it because it's true." 

"Eyes on the target, folks." Steve says suddenly and I perk up, "This is the best lead we've had on Rumlow in 6 months. I don't want to lose him."

I scoff as Sam speaks my mind,

"If he sees us coming that won't be a problem. He kind of hates us."

I look around me at the bustling streets, all the people rushing around, shopping. I remember the days I lived in Manhattan, worked at a Steakhouse, and lived in the attic of an old farmer's market. I look at myself now and see how far I've come, how long it's been since I've stolen someone's wallet.

"Sam, see that garbage truck? Tag it." Steve commands and I take another sip of my beverage.

"That truck's loaded for max weight. And the driver's armed." Sam reports and my eyes widen in realization.

"It's a battering ram."

"Go now." Steve says and I stand up, casually downing the last of my tea as Wanda speaks,

"What?"

"He's not hitting the police."

As I start jogging to the direction the garbage truck was in, I speak in my comms, "I'm going to get a head start."

"Okay, stop them." Steve says as I teleport through people, arriving at the Institue for Infectious Diseases in no time. I see a bunch of yellow trucks park outside by the overturned garbage truck and I rush over to the armed, gas masked men.

I kick one in the gut as others enter the building, throwing gas into the hospital.

"There's too many," I grunt as I knock out a guy, "I can't get to them."

"Focus on the ones inside, we got the others." I nod and grab a gas mask off a man, strapping it over my face and teleporting inside. Through the green gas I see bodies lying on the floor and rush past them. I sneak up on three guys and knock them out, trying to see through the gas to find the others.

Sam's voice comes into my ear as I look around for signs of people, "I make 5."

Wanda speaks, "Sam."

"Four. Rumlow's on the third floor." Sam says and I nod my head.

"I got him." I teleport up there just in time to see Steve break through the window, knocking out a guy. I nod to him and he distracts the men as I teleport off to find Rumlow. 

I find a room that's been broken into and walk through it. Seeing the stolen vials I sigh.

"He got here before me, he has a biological weapon." 

"I'm on it." 

Walking to the window, I look out and see Nat throw her motorcycle from underneath her and kncok out a lot of guys before she gets attacked by Rumlow.

"I'm coming down." I say as she tries to zap him, but it doesn't work. Instead, Rumlow grabs her and throws her into a truck, closing the hatch after chucking a granade into it.

I teleport inside the truck, and grab the grenade, winking at Natasha before glitching out and throwing it into te air. It explodes as I hear Nat knock out the guys in there.

"Thanks." She says and I smile.

"All in a days work."

I turn around and see Rumlow firing at Steve through the building and then driving off.

"I got him." I say and teleport to the truck, grabbing onto the back as it drives off.

"It's dangerous." Wanda says and I smirk.

"That's a first." I grunt as I adjust myself into the back of the vehicle. Unfortunately, I'm not fast enough to get inside before he crashes into the scarf shop from earlier. I go flying off the truck as a couple of guys rush out.

Coughing, I get up slowly and groan, "Shame, I really liked that shop."

"Guys they're splitting up, five of them."

"I got the two on the left." Nat says and I sigh, rushing in the direction the single guy went.

"I've got the one guy." Jumping over cars and over barrels of fruit, I catch a glimse of the black suited man I'm chasing.

Shouting at people to move, I catch up to the man and flip off a car, landing on his shoulders. As we fight hand to hand, people rush out of the way, screaming and shouting. 

I knock the man out with a quick kick to the head and he falls to the ground. Searching him, I find his pockets and other compartments empty.

"My guy's empty as a cookie jar on Thankgiving." I say.

"What?" Wanda says and I sigh.

"What, you've never had Thanksgiving in Scotland?" 

"Hazel you are one weird dude." Sam mumbles and I laugh, beginning to make my way to the commotion and screaming I hear.

"He doesn't have it. I'm empty." Sam sighs in disappointment.

"Yes Sam, but is he as empty as a cookie jar on Thanksgiving?" I question and Sam chuckles.

I hear noise from Nat's end and listen closely. After a while, the grunts stop and Nat speaks.

"Payload secure. Thanks, Sam." I sigh in relief and Sam speaks.

"Don't thank me." 

"I'm not thanking that thing."

"His name is Redwing."

"I'm still not thanking it."

"He's cute. Go ahead, pet him." 

"He's just like a little puppy," I say after chuckling, "Except, you know, the fact that it's metal, it flies, and it's a drone."

Sam gasps, "I'm hurt. And so is Redwing. Apologise now."

"Your right, I'm sorry Sam." 

"Don't apologize to me-"

"Ya know what, I'm going to find Cap." I turn my walk towards the distant screams I hear and teleport through the crowds.

"-you gotta go, you gotta go." 

I hear Rumlows voice and teleport through more crowds.

"And you're coming with me."

I break through the crowd and see Rumlow holding onto Steve and a bomb. I act quickly as he activates his bomb and am about to teleport when I see Wanda send a cloud of red to contain the explosion. I watch as she lifts him into the air where the explosion finally blossoms, devastating entire floors of a nearby office building. I gasp as it explodes, sending fire through the windows and destroying the office floors.

I watch as Wanda covers her mouth and can't help but feel a little guilty with her. I should've been here, not talking wih Sam. I could've helped Steve, instead I was fooling around, something you never do on missions.

As I stare up with my mouth open I distantly hear Steve in my earpiece, "Sam... We need Fire and Rescue on the south side of the building. We gotta get up there."

I stay where I am, staring in devastation at the scene before my eyes.
