Nat, Steve, Sam, and I were sitting at the table as we were discussing what to do
"So the question is, who at S.H.I.E.L.D. could launch a domestic missile strike?" Nat asked.
"Pierce." Steve replied in realization.
"Who happens to be sitting on top of the most secure building in the world." Nat said.
"But he's not working alone. Zola's algorithm was on the Lemurian Star." Steve said.
"So was Jasper Sitwell." Nat said.
"And if that wasn't confirmation enough, he was the one leading all the agents towards us as we were escaping the facility." I added.
"So the real question is, how do the three most wanted people in Washington kidnap a S.H.I.E.L.D. officer in broad daylight?" Steve asked.
"Well there's always my Facial Transmogrification Device." I replied.
"There's no guarantee they wouldn't be prepared for that somehow." Nat replied as she and Steve had pondering looks.
"The answer is, you don't." Sam said as he walled over and placed a file on the table in front of Steve.
"What's this?" Steve asked.
"Call it a resume." Sam replied
"Is this Bahkmala? The Khalid Khandil mission, that was you?" Nat asked as she opened the folder.
Sam nodded.
"You didn't say he was a Pararescue?" Nat questioned Steve as he looked at a photo that was in the file.
"Is this Riley?" Steve asked.
"Yeah." Sam replied with a somber tone.
"I heard they couldn't bring in the choppers because of the RPGs. What did you use? A stealth chute?" Nat asked.
"No. These." Sam replied as he handed Steve another file.
"I thought you said you were a pilot?" Steve asked.
"I never said pilot." Sam replied with a grin.
"I can't ask you to do this Sam, you got out for a good reason." Steve said.
"Dude, Captain America needs my help. There's no better reason to get back in." Sam replied.
"Where can we get our hands on one of these things?" Steve asked.
"The last one is at Fort Meade. Behind three guarded gates and a twelve inch steel wall." Sam answered.
"Not a problem." I interjected with a grin

(Streets of DC)
Jasper Sitwell had just finished a conversation with a Senator that was a member of HYDRA when he got a phone call.
{Yes sir.}
{Agent Sitwell. How was lunch? I hear the crab cakes here are delicious} Sam said over the phone.
{Who is this?} Sitwell asked.
{The good looking guy in the sunglasses, your 10 o'clock} Sam replied.
Jasper started to look around in the wrong direction.
{Your other 10 o'clock. There you go.} Sam said as Jasper turned and saw him and Sam waved
{What do you want?} Jasper asked
{You're gonna go around the corner to your right, there's a gray car parked two spaces down. You and i are gonna rake a ride.} Sam said.
{And why would i do that?} Jasper asked.
{Because that's a really nice tie, and I'd hate to mess it up} Sam replied as Jasper looked down and saw a red dot on it as if he was being targeted by a sniper.
Jasper looked around fearfully but he couldn't find the sniper.

(A few minutes later)
Jasper was thrown roughly through a door that placed him on a roof as Nat, Steve, and I walked out, Steve looking pissed.
"Tell me about Zola's algorithm." Steve questioned as he walked towards him angrily.
"Never heard of it." Jasper said as he was backing up.
"What were you doing on the Lemurian Star?" Steve asked.
"Throwing up, I get seasick." Jasper replied as he backed up until he almost fell off the roof where Steve grabbed him and lifted him up menacingly.
"Is this little display meant to insinuate that you're gonna throw me off the roof? I'm sorry Rogers, but I don't think that's your style." Jasper replied smugly.
"You're right, it's not." I said as I grabbed him with telekinesis and threw him against the building wall
As I walked up, claws extended from one of my fists I placed my other fist near his neck, extended two claws fully which hit the wall by his neck and the third claw slowly extended until it barely pierced his throat.
Jasper swallowed fearfully, his Adam's apple causing his skin to be punctured a little bit more. All the while, Nat and Steve were just talking casually.
"Oh, wait. What about that girl from accounting... Laura..." Nat began to ask.
"Lilian, lip piercing right?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, she's cute." Nat proffered.
"Yeah, I'm not ready for that." Steve replied.
Jasper finally broke.
"Zola's algorithm is a program, for choosing, Insight's targets." He started to explain.
"What targets?" Steve asked.
"You! A TV anchor in Cairo, the Undersecretary of Defense, a high school valedictorian in Iowa City, Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange, anyone HYDRA deems as a threat, now, or in the future." Jasper replied fearfully.
"The future? How could it know?" Steve asked.
Jasper laughed slightly then stopped, remembering his situation.
"How could it not? The 21st century is a digital book, and Zola taught HYDRA how to read it. Your bank records, medical histories, voting patterns, emails, phone calls, your damn SAT scores! Zola's algorithm, evaluates people's past, to predict their future. " He explained
"And what then?" Steve asked.
"Oh my God, Pierce is gonna kill me." Jasper said.
"I wouldn't be worried about Pierce right now if I was you." I said as the claw extended a little more.
"What then?" Steve asked more forcefully.
"Then the Insight helicarriers scratch people off the list. A couple million at a time." Jasper finished.

(Later in a car on the freeway)
Jasper in the back seat spoke up.
"HYDRA doesn't like leaks."
"Then how about you stick a cork in it." Sam said from the driver's seat.
"Insight's launching in 16 hours. We're cutting It kind of close here." Nat said to Steve.
"I know, we'll use him to bypass the DNA scans and access the helicarriers directly." Steve replied refering to Jasper.
"What? Are you crazy? That is a terrible terrible idea!" Jasper said and just then, there was a thud on the roof of the car and the window was smashed as Jasper was grabbed and thrown off the bridge. I wanted to be the one to kill him so I secretly used my telekinesis to make him hit the ground harder. I always hated that smug bastard.
It was the Winter Soldier or Bucky, as he began to shoot through the roof of the car, I created a force field to protect us and Steve quickly used the gear shift to stop the car and send him flying off of the roof. He quickly stopped himself using his metal arm to slow himself down as he slid on the ground.
We stared as he stood up and we got ready to make a move and at that moment, I heard a car rushing towards us and used my telekinesis to stop it and throw it off the bridge into the grass on the side of the road.
"Hit the gas Sam!" I shouted as Sam quickly put the car in gear and began driving at Bucky.
I stopped Bucky with Magneto's power and at the same time accelerated the car and we hit him and smacked him down the road until he hit a car. He was incapacitated for a while, enough for us to try to get off the freeway by driving past him only to get hit by another car that pushed us towards him.
'Damn butterfly effect' I thought to myself in annoyance as there wasn't another car at that point in the original movie.
As we got closer to Bucky, he jumped on the car and punched through the windshield and ripped the entire steering wheel off. We started to swerve on the road and the car behind us was still pushing us. Sam slammed on the brake and Bucky jumped off on to the roof of the car behind us.
As I could see the car was about to flip I looked at Steve and he knew what I wanted him to do.
"Hold on!" He shouted as Sam and Nat grabbed onto Steve as he pushed through the side door with his shield and I put a force field around us to protect us from the impact as the door was sliding along the road.
We finally stopped sliding and we got up from the door just in time to see the other guy get out of the car and hand Bucky a grenade launcher.
"OH COME ON!" I shouted in anger as I had to quickly put a force field in front of us as Bucky sent a grenade our way.
The explosion didn't hurt us, but I was sent flying off the bridge. Obviously Bucky knew he had to take care of me first and he knew I'd protect them from the grenade. He ignored me for the moment and he and the other HYDRA agents started to fire at the others. Steve had a similar thing happen to him and was sent flying off the bridge after blocking a grenade with his shield.
They quickly took cover and as Nat had to jump off the bridge she quickly grappled to the side of the bridge and swung down beneath it just in time to intercept Bucky who went to shoot at me as I had recovered in the air and was flying back to the bridge. Nat had shot him in the face and ended up cracking his goggles.
He quickly took cover and then had his team shoot at me. He then got up, took off the goggles and grabbed a gun from one of the agents.
He then gave orders in Russian.
~Take care of them, I'll go after him~ Bucky said refering to me.
I was flying around hitting different HYDRA agents and he sent a grappling hook in my direction that I didn't see immediately. My spidersense kicked in and I turned and grabbed the grapple line, he caught on and used the strength of his metal arm to pull me down. I still wasn't that used to fighting while flying with my wings as I had kept them mostly a secret. He pulled me towards him and began to shoot. I used telekinesis to stop the bullets, but then something I never expected attacked me.
I giant body jumped at me and tackled me to the ground and then threw me into a nearby tree. I had the wind knocked out of me and when I recovered, I saw.....
"Okay this is getting old, why is the goddamn JUGGERNAUT here!!" I shouted in anger.
That's right, it's the Juggernaut. He came running at me and he was shouting in....Russian
'NO FUCKING WAY! A BRAINWASHED JUGGERNAUT!?!?!?'
