Clementine's P.O.V
"I can't believe this Sam" I seethed, ripping another 'Caps Back' poster down from the wall "I thought I was doing the right thing" Sam signed, his hand landing on my shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. I turned to face him with a small smile "I know Sammy, I just wish there was something we could do" I breathed out, Sam held a bag out to me "let's start off by checking out the Flash-Smashers okay? I've got your tactical suit packed away for you, I can't imagine you trying to fight in that" He sassed gesturing to my outfit.
I look down at myself, I chose high-waisted black jeans, a black cami, and my leather jacket "there's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing" I shot back at him, Sam glanced down at my heels "can you run in those?" I didn't answer him, snatching the bag out of his hands.
"You ready guys?" Torres chucked his camo backpack over his shoulder as he led us to the plane "thanks for doing this on such short notice" he looked back at me "no sweat Clem, I'm just finishing off the checklist you'll be all good to go once we land in Munich" Sam clapped his hand on Torres's shoulder as they stopped in front of another poster "thanks man"
I left them standing there as I headed down the stairs first, I got so distracted with my bag that I collied with someone at the bottom. Hands shot around my forearms, steadying me "careful Dove" my head shot up at the familiar nickname. Bucky's big blue eyes stared down at me "what are you doing here Bucky?" I stuttered, I could hear Sam making his way down the stairs.
"You shouldn't have given up the shield Sam" Bucky boomed, his hands still holding me close. Sam stood behind me "It's good to see you too Buck" he quipped walking past us, I slipped out of Bucky's grip as I followed "this is wrong" Bucky snapped, his steps falling in sync with mine.
"Hey look, we're working, alright? So all this outrage is going to have to wait" Sam resorted, Bucky raised his eyebrows at me "you didn't know that was going to happen? I mean he's practically begging to meet you" Bucky hissed pointing to the poster. I stopped and turned to him "no of course we didn't know that was going to happen, does it look like I want to meet him?" I sassed back, hands on my hips as I glared at him.
Bucky signed stepping closer to me, his hand brushing mine "you think it didn't break my heart to see them march him out there, and call him the new Captain America" Sam added, his voice cracking slightly "Steve didn't want this" Bucky whispered back, the sound breaking my heart.
"What do you want me to do? Call America and tell them I changed my mind? Yeah right, great reunion buddy" Sam snapped patting Bucky on the back and walking ahead "you had no right to give up the shield Sam" Bucky growled catching up to us.
"Here's what you're not going to do, you're not going to come here in your overextended life and tell me about my rights" Sam hissed stepping closer to Bucky, I wedged myself between them, forcing a bit of distance. Bucky's chest pressed against my shoulder as he glared at Sam "arguing isn't going to solve anything, we have bigger things to deal with right now" I reasoned.
Bucky's gaze flicked down to look at me, his face softened as he edged a little closer "what could be bigger than this Dove?" he murmured, I signed turning to face him as I pulled out my phone and showed him the video "this guy, he's connected to rebel organizations all over eastern and central Europe, and he's strong. Too strong" Sam informed showing him more pictures.
"And?" Bucky rolled his eyes at us, Sam huffed in frustration "and, he's be connected to this online group called the Flag- Smashers. Redwing traced them to a building outside Munich and that's where we're going" Sam added bluntly, shoving his phone back in his pocket.
"Well, I don't trust Redwing" Bucky resorted, I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips. Bucky's always hated Redwing "you don't have to trust Redwing" I reminded him, nudging him gently.
I have a feeling there might be a part of the Big Three" Sam finally stated, I squinted my eyes at him waiting for him to continue "what 'Big Three'?" Bucky questioned equally as confused, Sam stared at us in disbelief "the Big Three" he stated waving his hands about. Bucky and I shared a look "what 'Big Three'?" we asked again. Sam huffed "Androids, Aliens, and Wizards"
I snorted a laugh as I watched the serious look on both men's faces "that's not a thing" Bucky grunted "that's definitely a thing" Sam countered. I tilted my head watching them argue "every time we fight, it's one of the Big Three" Sam reasoned looking at me for backup, I shook my head. I'm not getting involved in this "so who are you fighting now? Gandalf?" Bucky sassed back.
"How do you know about Gandalf?" Sam quizzed raising his brows at Bucky "I read the Hobit, in 1937, when it first came out" I giggled to myself at the hidden brag in Bucky's tone "Ah so you see my point?" Sam gushed, Bucky looked over at me "do you see his point Doll? because there is no such thing as wizards" I shrugged at him.
"Doctor Strange"
"-is a sorcerer"
Sam cheered loudly "exactly a sorcerer is a wizard without a hat, come one think about it" he mused, proud of himself. I scoffed and patted both of their chests as I pushed past them "I can't take much more of this so I'll be on the plane" I declared walking ahead.
................................................................................................................................................................
Bucky and Sam glared at each other the entire flight, we had suited up already. I couldn't help but notice how good Bucky looked in his tactical gear, the tight leather jacket that stretched over his chest was enough to make me blush. "Right guys one minute till drop off" Torres announced looking down at his watch. I jumped off the crate I was sat on and stretched out my limbs "so whats out plan" Bucky asked grabbing the his ear-piece out of the case.
When no one answered him, he grunted dramatically "great so no plan" I chuckled and pulled my long hair into a high ponytail "thirty seconds" Torres shouted from the open door. Sam grabbed his ear piece "enjoy your ride Buck" he mused turning away "no, you can't call me that" Sam rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest "why not? that's what Steve and Clem call you" he resorted.
"Steve knew me longer and Steve had a plan, Clem can call me whatever she wants" Bucky barked back, looking over at me with a smirk. "Fifth-teen seconds to drop" Torres continued, I rolled my eyes at the men in front of me "he has a plan Buck" I offered as I made my way over to the open door, Sam following close behind "really? What is it?" I didn't stick around long enough to hear the rest as I launched myself out of the plan.
I avoided the trees on the way down and landed perfectly on my feet, suddenly the was a wailing sound as the branches above me broke and fell around me. With a loud thud, Bucky landed at my feet "shit! are you okay?" I knelt down next to him, my hands on his chest. Bucky nodded stiffly as Redwing appeared above us "I have all of that on camera, you know that right?" Sam laughed in to the coms.
"Get out of my face Sam, or I'll break it" Bucky groan, I giggled grabbing his hands and pulling him to his feet, he swayed slightly "you could have landed on me and crushed me" I joked brushing off my knees. Bucky's hand shot out tugging something out of my pony tail "I wouldn't have crushed you, but you have twigs in your hair" he mused.
"Stop flirting and head north" Sam instructed, using Redwing to lead the way, I stuck my tongue out at the camera before following Bucky. The buildings were covered in graffiti and rubble, I stepped over another broken wall as Redwing flew close to Bucky's head "oh-oh-oh don't hurt him" Sam chuckled when Bucky tried to hit Redwing away.
I could feel Bucky's stare on the side of my face, while we watched the footage Redwing was picking up "you're doing the staring thing again, she's not going to disappear" Sam commented still looking down at the screen, Bucky glared at him as my cheeks flushed slightly "their in there" he added.
"Where's the guy?" I wondered, peaking my head around the corner "I don't know, I think their smuggling weapons though" I nodded, pealing my black gloves off "well, I think you could be right, but there's only one way to find out. I see a clear path, I say we take it" Bucky observed, his voice low. I shoved my gloves into the pocket of my skin tight suit "I agree" I mumbled looking back up at them, Bucky smiled at me "we're not assassins" Sam countered.I squinted at him "we'll see you inside, or not" Bucky spat, gently nudging me to follow him "come on man, I was just messing with you, come back" Sam pleaded laughing to him self.
Bucky slid across the wall, his foot steps light. I followed closely behind "look at you two, all stealthy. Little time in Wakanda Buck, and you come out White Panther" Sam snickered, Bucky stopped causing me to bump in to him. His hands wrapped around me "It's actually White Wolf" he muttered back as we continued through the building.
Bucky's front pressed tightly against my back as we hid behind the metal shelving, watching them load shipments in to the lorries "right, we're inside. Therefore way ahead of you, its not great but very doable" he whispered. His breath tickling my ears making me shiver, I jumped back against Bucky as Sam suddenly appear next to us. Bucky huffed, his arm wrapping around my middle as he glared at Sam "hello, how are you?" he mocked, Sam chuckled "I'm good, what did I miss?"
"Nothing" I hissed back at him, I glanced back counting how many people I could see "all right, lets go" Bucky ordered, getting ready to go "no wait" Sam demanded. Bucky rolled his eyes "I got a vibranium arm, I can take them" he pointed out holding up his arm "she can create fire and burn people, and I can fly. Who gives a shit? I wanna see where their going" Sam resorted, looking bak down at the screen on his arm.
"Theres two people" Bucky protested pointing to the man and woman outside the lorries "you only see two? Lets see how many Redwing sees" Redwing fly around the building above us "1...2...3..4...5."
"Okay fine, they're strong, whatever"
"All right, lets move out" the woman announced closing the Lorry doors, Sam glared back down at the screen "there's an eighth person, I think they have a hostage" that was all I needed to hear before I took off running, Bucky following close behind.
Bucky leaped on to the first lorry, opening the loading doors and slipping inside. I caught up to the lorry behind and leaped on the the ladder at the back "their stealing medicine, vaccines" Bucky told us through the ear piece, I was still on the back of the lorry, slowly making my way up on to the roof.
"I found the hostage"
"SHIT"
I leaped on to the roof as Bucky was dragged up front the windscreen, two of them held Bucky while a third punched him. I grabbed her shoulders forcing her backwards, landing a punch to the side of her face. She cried out before he leg shot out kicking me on to my back, I gasped for air as two more men appeared out of no where and pinned me to the ground "get your hands off of her" Bucky snarled, fighting against the ones who held him back.
Redwing flew towards us firing bullets, the girl jumped up in to the air and snatched Redwing out of the sky and smashed him against her knee "I always wanted to do that" Bucky commented as they threw another punch at his face.
I place my hands on the chest of the guy above me, letting my hands heat up and burn into his flesh. He cried out in agony as I shoved him away from me and pulled my elf up to my feet "I'll burn you" I warned as he charged at me again, fire engulfed my hand as I through him backwards.
Sam appear knocking the girl down "good of you to join the fight Sam" Bucky sassed kicking his foot out against one of his opponents, I ran towards them skidding across my knees as I knocked one of them to the ground, giving Bucky another time to get free. My body temperature was running high, I didn't want to burn anyone alive but I still needed to hurt them.
Suddenly the shield appeared hitting several people and John Walked jumped out of a helicopter, landing almost too perfectly. Another man hung from the helicopter, kicking down Sam's opponents "you've got to be shitting me" I hissed looking over at Bucky, who was already staring at me.
"Clementine, Sam, I'm John Walker, Captain America" he called over to us "Lemar Hoskins, you guys looked like you could use the help" his friend added, the shield was thrown again as everyone continued to fight. Arms wrapped around me from behind, pining my arms down and throwing me on to my back "shit" I cursed loudly, another girl appeared above me holding my hands down against the roof, my only option was to let my body temperature sky rocket.
"She's burning me" he cried out, trying to keep his grip tight around my body. I threw my head back connecting it with his face "bitch" he seethed, letting me go. I rolled on to my front and forced myself on to my knees "I can turn you in to ash" I threatened, wrapping my hand around his throat, burning his flesh "but I won't"
I kicked him back as he rolled to the back of the lorry "Clem, Bucky's hanging on to the bottom of the lorry, I need to get him" Sam grunted in to the comms, I peaked my head over the side to see Bucky "that little girl kicked your ass" Sam teased filching next to him "ahhh" Bucky growled back.
I was too distracted to see the girl behind me and just as I turned to face her, she landed a kick into the centre of my chest, I spun through the air and landed with a thud on the patch of flowers by the side of the road "ouch" I grumbled, laying flat on my back. Closing my eyes.
"Dove are you okay?" I opened one eye to see Bucky's face hovering over mine, Sam's just over his shoulder. I closed my eyes again and huffed "yeah, just wanted to lay here and sulking in my broken ego. We just had our asses handed to us, they were super soldiers" I admitted with a pout, I felt Bucky grab my hands and pull me up. "Tell me about it" He agreed, I picked out a crushed daisy that had got stuck in the front of my suit and scrunched my nose up at it "we should get moving" Sam mumbled checking his watch.
I walked ahead pulling down the zip at the front of my suit, to let the air touch in. Due to my Pyrokinesis temperatures didn't really affect me, I didn't get cold or overheat and I could withstand even the harshest of environments. It was a blessing and a curse, when I use fire or burn people, my body heats up and sometimes my suit can't handle it.
"Did you just check out her ass?" Sam whispered from behind me, clearly unaware I could hear him, I couldn't see them but I could feel the look Bucky just gave Sam. Did Bucky really just check me out? get a grip of yourself Clem.
"I'm sorry about Redwing" Bucky spoke, breaking the silence. Sam chuckled "no you're not, whats going on in that big cyborg brain of yours?" he asked, I slowed down so I was walking beside them "It's computing" Bucky remarked.
I giggled making him smile over at me "you know what? I can actually see it. I can see the gears turning, Oh they're malfunctioning, shutting down. Yep they're on fire" Sam continued, I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I snorted. Bucky rolled his eyes ignoring us "we gotta figure out where the serums coming from" his tone serious.
"And how in the hell, after 80 years there are eight super soldiers running loose" I added crossing my arms over my chest. A car honked from behind us as a truck pulled up, Walker and Hoskins in the back "well that didn't go as planned, huh?" Walker called out, opening the door for us. We keep walking ignoring them "okay, lets keep going" he mumbled closing the door again.
"Look at least we know what we're up against now, huh?" He added, I looked over at him and tilted my head "yeah, eight super soldiers" I snapped as we continued to walk. Walker smirked at me "shit, super soldiers.For real?" Hoskins gawked, eyes wide "wow okay, then we need to work together" Walked started. Bucky was quick to stop walking and scowl "that's not happening" he snapped, the car came to a stop just ahead of us.
"Look I think we stand a much better chance if we all just-" Bucky shook his head angrily "just because you carry that shield, doesn't make you Captain America" he raged, his body shaking slightly "I've done the work okay-" Walker defended.
"You ever jump on top of a grenade?" Bucky interrupts, I felt my insides squeezed the hidden meaning behind his question. Walker looked at him smugly "I have actually, four times, theres this thing I do with my helmet-"
"I could melt your helmet with my bare hands"
This time it was me who cut him off, hands on my hips as I glared at him. Walker signed as he looked down at me, he opened the door once more "come on, it's 20 miles to the air port, you guys need a ride. Clementine, guys please just get in"
This was going to be a long 20 miles.
