"This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said, 'Peace wasn't an achievement, it was a responsibility.' See, it's stuff like this that gives me trust issues," Nick Fury said.
"We have to stop the launch," Natasha said. Colour was back to her face since she was no longer losing blood.
"I don't think the council's accepting my calls anymore," Fury said, opening a case containing three chips.
"What's that?" Sam asked.
"Once the Helicarriers reach three thousand feet, they'll triangulate with Insight satellites becoming fully weaponized," Hill explained.
"We need to breach those carriers and replace their targeting blades with our own," Fury added.
"One or two won't cut it. We need to link all three carriers for this to work, because if even one of those ships remains operational a whole lot of people are gonna die."
"We have to assume everyone aboard those carriers is HYDRA. We need to get pass them, insert the server blades, and maybe, just maybe, we can salvage what's left..."
"Were not salvaging anything," Steve interrupted their explanation. "We're not just taking down the carriers, Nick. We're taking down SHIELD."
"SHIELD had nothing to do with it," Nick said, his tone suddenly defensive.
"You gave me this mission, this is how it ends," Steve told him, his tone definitive. "SHIELD's been compromised, you said so yourself. HYDRA grew right under your nose and nobody noticed."
"Why do you think were meeting in a cave?" Nick commented. "I noticed."
"And how many paid the price before you did?" Steve asked.
"He didn't know about Barnes," Nina suddenly spoke up. "No one in SHIELD did."
"And you did?" Steve asked her, feeling betrayed. Nina let out a light chuckle.
"You know, all those years you were under the ice, I didn't spend them playing scientist for SHIELD," she said.
Natasha looked down. Nina didn't seam to remember it, but she was there on the red room. She had been there for a couple months, as she helped train the 100 candidates for the Black Widow program. Stuff happened and, in the end, The Winter Soldier and her helped her escape. She was the only one who survived.
" What?" Steve asked. In the room, only Fury and Natasha knew what she had been through with Hydra.
"In 1943, when Bucky fell from that train, he didn't die," she said. "He had already been thought half of what me and Stark did you back in the day. He lost his left arm in the fall, but Hydra found him. And then they found me."
"And you didn't think about telling me this?" Steve asked her again. Nina's brows knitted in a frown.
"When was I supposed to tell you this?" She asked angrily. "How am I supposed to tell you that your dead best friends is not dead but was abducted Hydra - he thing you died to destroy, by the way - and he is now the Winter Soldier, responsible for dozens of deaths throughout the twentieth century?"
Natasha wondered how Nina had managed to say all of that without raising her voice. She was definetly very angry and very mad, but her voice sounded way too calm, making it a little dangerous to be in the same room as her. At least she isn't mad at me, Nat thought.
Anyway, Steve nodded. He seamed to understand that there was no good time to drop a bomb like that one.
"Then are we agreed?" Steve asked, changing the subject. "SHIELD, HYDRA, it all goes." Nick was about to object when hill interrupted him.
"He's right," she said. Fury looked at Natasha, who nodded. And then his attention slided towards Sam.
"Don't look at me," Sam said, putting his hands in the air. "I do what he does, just slower." He pointed at Steve. Nick Fury sighed. He had been defeated.
"Well captain, looks like you're giving the orders now."
