Chapter 48 - Super Soldiers

James yells out and scrunches his face in anger. The bar he was holding onto starts to break, I fly and tackle him, we hit Sam. All of us rolling in the grass.

I land on top of James, straddling his waist with his hands on my waist. "Could of used that shield." He growls at Sam.

"Shut up."

I get off of him and purposely kick his leg as I walk. "Those were all Super Soldiers, guys."  James says.

"I know. You're welcome, by the way." I put my hands on my hips.

"Sorry about Redwing." James says as we walk down the road.

"No, you're not."

"Fuck...I could fly off right now...but I have to stay with you losers." I sigh.

"Then leave." Sam smiles.

"Hmmm.. you guys are pretty helpless without me." I joke.

"What's going on in that big cyborg brain of yours?" Sam turns to James.

"It's computing." James says.

"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."

"We gotta figure out where the serum's coming from." I say.

"Yeah. And how in the hell after 80 years are there eight Super Soldiers runnin' loose?" Sam says.

I look over and frown as I hear a car honk. "So that didn't go as planned, huh?" John says as he opens the door, we continue to walk. "Okay." He grunts and closes the door. "Let's keep going...Look, at least we know what we're up against now, huh? And we're pretty sure it's one of the Big Three, so..."

"Aliens, androids, or wizards?" Sam asks.

"Pretty sure." John nods.

"There's no such thing as wizards." James raises his voice.

"Then it's aliens, or androids..."

"Or Super Soldiers." Sam says.

"Shit. Super Soldiers, for real?" Lemar asks.

"Yeah."

"Wow. All right, well, then we gotta work together." John nods.

"That's not happening." I chuckle.

"I think we stand a much better chance if we all just..."

"Just 'cause you carry that shield, it doesn't mean you're Captain America." James yells.

"Look, I've done the work, okay?"

"You ever jump on top of a grenade?" James asks.

"Yeah. Actually, I have. Four times. It's a thing I do with my helmet. It's a reinforced helmet. It's a long story, but, any... Look, it's 20 miles to the airport. You guys need a ride. Guys. Gary, stop. Get in." I fly up into the car as the two get in. "Okay, so we've got eight Super Soldiers on a bulk supply run. Why?"

"They say their mission is to get things back to the way it was during The Blip. Maybe they're just trying to help."

"They had a funny way of showing it." James says to Sam.

"That serum doesn't exactly have a great track record. No offense." John says to James.

"We need to figure out where they're going. How'd you track 'em here? The Flag Smashers?" Sam asks.

"Uh, no, we didn't track them, we tracked you, uh, through Redwing." Lemar says.

"You hacked my tech?"

John chuckles, "Sorry. It's not exactly hacking. It's government property. Kind of the government." He looks at James and I as we give him a cold stare,  "Do they always just stare like that?l

"You get used to it."

"Okay, look, you know, things have gotten kind of, uh..."

"Chaotic." Lemar finishes John's sentence.

"Yeah. The GRC, they're doing the best they can to get things up and running smoothly, post Blip." John nods.

"Reactivating citizenship, social security, healthcare. Basically just managing resources for the refugees who were displaced by the return." Lemar says.

"The Global Repatriation Council does all that. I get that. So why exactly are you two here?" Sam asks.

"Well, they provide the resources and we keep things stable."

"Yeah, violent revolutionaries aren't usually good for anyone's cause." John nods.

"Usually said by the people with the resources."

John looks at us. "We got a lot of resources. If you guys, if you joined up with us, we could..."

"No." James says.

"I got mad respect for y'all. But you were getting your asses kicked till we showed up." Lemar says.

"That's funny. I was winning until you showed up." I tilt my head.

"Who are you?" James asks.

"Lemar Hoskins."

"Look, I see a guy hanging out of a helicopter in tactical gear, I need a lot more than Lemar Hoskins." Sam says.

"I'm Battlestar. John's partner."

"Battlestar? Stop the car!" James yells.

"Look, I... I get it, okay? I get the attitude, I do. You didn't think that the shield was gonna end up here. I get it, Bucky." James gets out as John talks. "And I'm... I'm not trying to be Steve. I'm not trying to replace Steve. I'm just trying to be the best Captain America I can be. That's it. It'd be a whole lot easier if I had Cap's wingmen on my side."

"It's always that last line." Sam chuckles and gets out.

"Wait, Sam." I stop him and unclip Mjolnir. Sam stands behind me and watches. I use my power to return it to its full size. "Captain America could lift this....let's see you try."  I smirk as I set it down. John looks at me for a moment before trying to lift it. I laugh as he fails, "Your not Captain America. Never will be." I fly out, I hold the hammer up and create a lighting bolt, showing off its power.

John stares at me as I walk off, flipping him off.

"Why the hell didn't you use that?" Sam asks.

"Didn't feel like it."
