Steve's POV:

Clint, Nat, and I meet Wanda and Bucky at the hanger. They don't know much right now and they need to know everything that has been going on. From what Natasha got out of both Yelena and Melina to those files Fury found and how the Red Room has been tracking their every move for years now.

We take them to Fury's office where we explain everything, Bucky doesn't seem too surprised that the Red Room and KGB still has tags on him but Wanda looks mortified by what we told her. "But I was never at the Red Room." She looks over to Nat.

She takes a deep breath before continuing. "We think Hydra and the KGB were working together for quite a while, so when Hydra fell the Red Room got ahold of their files and have been tracking you ever since. They just... never stoped with us." Natasha gestures to Bucky and herself. It doesn't make too much sense to me but, there's not much I can do about the situation.

"What do they want with us?" Bucky asks the group without looking at anyone.

Clint mutters, "I'm guessing they want to make you their super secret pet psychopath again." I shoot him a glare, "Why do people keep looking at me like that?" Nat rolls her eyes.

"No, that's fair." Bucky says, Clint gestures like it proves his point. Nat and I both stare at him now.

"You've been spending too much time with Tasha." Clint tells me, I roll my eyes at him and turn my attention back to Wanda and Bucky.

"We have a plan to infiltrate the Red Room. It's pretty simple, take in the leaders blow the place to hell." I say hoping to get some input.

Bucky shakes his head in negative, "That wont work, anyone who has some form of importance has overly secure offices where they are the entire time unless they have a mission or... other things." Buck diverts his gaze to the floor, we all know what he means. "Besides how were you planning on getting in?"

Natasha answers before I can, "With a plan that's even stupider then the last one."

"It was your idea." I remind her.

"Doesn't mean I thought you were going to take it." She folds her arms across her chest.

"Do you have a better idea?" I ask.

"No,"

"We're doing it."

"We are not, doing it."

"Sorry to interrupt your little squabble but," Wanda interrupts us, "Are you going to tell us what this plan is or are you just going to tell us how stupid it is?"

Natasha opens her mouth to tell them her plan but I cut her off before she can say a single syllable. "I don't like it, Nat."

"Well you don't have to. But it's the only plan we have, Steve." She looks at me with many different emotions on her face.

"Doesn't mean it's a good plan."

"The plan is fine, Steve."

"The plan is going to get you killed."

"Oh then I'm with Steve on this one, Nat. Sorry." Wanda chimes in, my head snaps in her direction. I forgot the others are in here.

"She's right, Natasha." Fury walks into the room with Maria, when did she get here? "We can't risk losing you."

"Thanks Fury, but I can take care of myself." Nat replies. I don't take my eyes off her.

"That's the thing." Bucky says looking up from the piece of flooring he was staring at, "You don't have to. Drop me off at the front steps as the Winter Soldier. Get some agents to go undercover to drop me off and I'll take care of it. I know my way around all their bases."

This time Wanda shoots him a look, "No, no. Let's sacrifice Natasha." Nat lets out an offended noise and I stare at Wanda. "James you're not going in there alone."

"I won't be alone." He's looking straight at Hill who raises an eyebrow at him.

"James, don't do this." Wanda grabs ahold of his arm, begging for Bucky to stay. I divert my eyes and wrap an arm around Nat's waist, she leans into me and I kiss her hair. "Please, I have faith in you, I do. But this will undo everything you've worked so hard to get rid of. Please."

"What if we compromise?" I look down at Nat and furrow my eyebrows at her words.

Natasha's POV:

"What if I go to the front door," I see Steve open his mouth to protest but I cut him off before he can, "But I bring Bucky with me. He can seem to be in Winter Soldier mode, and that file says nothing about him being in Wakanda so they wouldn't know that all that junk is gone. This way we can have each others backs and call for back up when we need it."

Steve looks at me with a worried look, no matter how we do this he isn't going to like it. "Well what about your leg?" He asks me.

"What about it?" I furrow my brows in confusion, he gives me a look that says everything he needs to say. "I've got FitzSimmons working on something, they'll be here in an hour. Besides the brace Stark made is just a prototype."

Wanda speaks up, "How is that a compromise?" I shrug my shoulders, not really knowing what else to say. "Also, where do I fit in to all of this?" I'm not sure what to say so I don't say anything, hoping someone else will answer. When no one does Maria speaks.

"I don't know, Natasha." Hill says from her place beside Fury, "It still seems risky."

"That's the point." I state crossing the room to look out the window, "It has to be risky or it wont work and it can't be so risky that it will get us killed. I think this is the right balance." I turn back around and make eye contact with Steve.

"But how will we know if it's not?" Steve stares into my eyes making me feel all kinds of guilty.

I can't say anything, Bucky speaks for me. "We wont know until we're there." Wanda pleads for Bucky again and Steve walks over to me.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Steve places a hand on my waist and the other cups my cheek. All I can do is nod slightly and give him a small smile.

"Clint," I call out and look around the room. "Where the hell is Clint?" 

I know he came into the room with us, but when he left and how he left without any of us noticing is another question. I walk towards the one vent in Fury's office, the screws are loose. I open the door and listen for any movement coming from above. There's a small rattling sound not far away. I grab a broom from a storage closet and hit the ceiling with the handle. There's a muffled curse as Clint realizes I'm there, "Damn it, Barton! Get out of the vents!"

There's shuffling from above and then Clint's head pokes out from an exit, "Screw you, Romaonoff!" He tucks his head back into the vent as I run towards it, I jump onto a desk and use the momentum to propel myself towards to opening.

I'm halfway in the vents when someone grabs my leg, I kick hard to get them off and I hear them cry out as my foot makes contact with their face. The victim of my foot curses before yelling at me to get out of the vents but at this point I'm already chasing after Clint. I come to an intersection in the vents and pause not knowing which way the hawk went. "Well, well, well. Look who's in the vents now." A voice behind me says. I roll my eyes and do my best to turn around in the tight space.

"I'm guessing you already know the plan?" I ask him and he smiles at me.

"Of course, why else would I be in the vents if not to listen in on conversations I'm supposed to be apart of?" I roll my eyes again and he smirks back at me.

"I'll keep in touch as best I can. It's going to take a while for them to trust me again though so it's going to be slow. I'd be surprised if they don't put a camera in every room I'm ever in. I can't promise anything." I shake my head and look down at the metal bottom of the vents.

"I know." I look back up to him, "But does Steve?" I shake my head again, knowing I wont be able to tell him that I wont be able to make contact for a long, long time.
