Final Experiment ?

"you're welcome Tony."

"I got it handled!"

"You sure did..."

I glared at the man with red, white and blue coloured shield.

That guy was strong, I'll give him that.

There was and air of calm confidence around him, he was determined to win this battle. Well, over my dead body. I knew I was outnumber, but that didn't mean I'd lose. Those... Those agents were odd, but that didn't matter in my line of job. I had to take them down.

I sized my three opponents up, there was the metal man, howering slightly off the ground, the man with shield who was in fighting stance and at the tree line a man was sitting in a tree, keeping a close eye to my movements as an arrow was aimed at me. I had to watch out for this one, even though seemingly not that harmless, the man with arrows could do a lot of damage. Considering how good his aim had been last time that he shot me, he was perhaps the most dangerous one for me.

My eyes flickered back to the man with shield as he had inched closer, his eyes looked contact with mine and I glared at him, showing off my pointed teeth as I raised my upper lip. He raised his shield, still not looking away from my glowing eyes.

Why isn't he looking away?

They were just... Standing there. None of them tried to attack as they stood some distance away. Yet, the man with shield didn't back down.

I growled at him again in warning, but nothing happened. He lowered his shield an inch, showing me his face as he had calm expression. His blue eyes looked gentle.

I didn't like it.

Was it some kind of new battle plan?

"easy, we are not here to hurt you nor your friend, alright? Just take it easy, we are friends. We just want to help." he spoke gently to me, as if I was a spooked animal.

Think again, animal-whisperer.

I didn't move as my eyes were fixed on his blue ones. I was fairly good at detecting emotions, especially human emotions. Therefor I was searching lies as I looked into his eyes. To my disappointment I saw nothing but honesty in him.

"why are you talking to it, cap? It's a beast." hearing my name coming from the small comm from the man's ear, I knew who that voice belonged to. My eyes flickered to the tree line behind the muscular man, landing on the archer. He seemed startled by the sudden glare,yet his arrow didn't falter.

"Don't anger it Clint, Stark and I believe it has an intelligent mind. Hey, eyes here comrade." I snapped my eyes backs to the blue eyed man, narrowing them slightly.

He did not just call me a comrade.

"very good, now, would you please let us pass? We'd be very grateful if you'd let us help our friend. Alright? We just want to get Bucky out of there as well. He is my best friend. Will you please let us?"

The sincereity in his voice made me lower my wings, he was.. This man was very sincere with his words. Noticing my slightly lowered wings, a small smile played on his lips, it wasn't the annoying, cocky smirk that most agents wore when they acted to be amused. No, it was the grateful kind.

Did he call Soldat Bucky? Bucky.. It was awfully familiar, but where had I heard that name before? No, they are wrong. Soldat is not Bucky.

Noticing my tensing shoulders and hunched back, the man immediately stopped inching closer. "hey, easy now. I promise you, we truly wish no harm. Just let us help." I took a bold step closer, head lowered to show I didn't mean to attack, well, not suddenly at least.
