"A savior. A protector. A manipulator of the Tesseract. Take that away Miss Collins and what does that leave you with?"

"Enough skill to kick your ass back to Sokovia"

Dropping us on a snowy mountain I internally thank Tony for ensuring my suit is a thermal material. Gazing over the base tucked into the snow blanketed mountain, I take note of the iron door which seems to have already been cracked opened. Since there is a Quinn Jet here and a huge snow shoveling truck I think it's safe to presume we're last to the party. Giving Tony an uneasy look I walk inside first, glancing around the dark interior which immediately has me on edge.

My fear of the dark creeping up I peer over my shoulder to Tony, silently asking him to take the lead. Nodding Tony strides past me, his suit supplying some illumination until we reach a wall. Noticing a leaver to my left I yank hard on it, two elevator doors opening up with a deafening squeal. Sighing I haul up the cage door, mumbling "Why is there always elevators?"

"What?" Tony questions me as we step inside "Don't like them?"

"Last time I took one to a secret underground lair I had a Swiss HYDRA Nazi scientist try to blow me to pieces", I reply to Tony, shooting him a sarcastic smirk "Forgive me for being skeptical."

I can practically feel Tony raising his eyebrow behind his helmet "That's a story I've got to hear."

"It's too long and complicated to explain", I inform Tony as the elevator glides to a halt "Buy the movie." Heaving up the cage, I pull the lever to open the doors. When they remain closed Tony tries to get a grip between the doors, his chunky metal fingers having no such luck finding a grip. Rolling my eyes I tap Tony's plated shoulder "Move."

"And what if there are five super soldiers out there waiting to pounce?" Tony questions me cautiously as I stretch a field out before us.

Tilting my head to the side I state dismissively "Steve and Bucky are already here. I'm think it's safe to say our cover is already blown." Swirling my arm back I give a swift flick of my wrist before sending the golden field straight through the elevator doors. With the entire metal elevator doors blown off their hinges with a mighty bang I step through the frame and further into the bunker. Spotting Steve and Bucky perched defensively on the stairs as I arch my eyebrow, "A little bit of a frosty welcome don't you think?"
