In the air ducts
“This is were we split,” Cap says as he and Falcon reach an intersection. The news that there was a bomb in the basement had gone over like a lead balloon. That coupled with the news that these men had some kind of connected to the Kobra cult had added even more to the sense of urgency to this mission. Both men double check their watches before Sam takes a right at a four way intersection.
“How are things coming downstairs,” Cap whispers into his com. There is a short pause before Moon Knight answers.
“We’ve got things under control down here.”
“More or less,” Deadpool adds. “The device doesn’t look that complicated but I’m not entirely sure what they were putting into it. It was defiantly some sort of bacterial agent.”
“Has any kind of timer been set,” Fury asks over the com.
“I’ve got the timer switch turned off but it looks like it can be activated by remote.”
“I’m sending in a specialist and a hazmat team, just make sure they’re clear.”
“I’m on it,” Moon Knight says.
“What do you want me doing,” Deadpool asks.
“Move up the stairs to help me and Falcon,” Cap replies.
“Steve I found the hostages,” Sam whispers into his com.
“Good, were are they?”
‘They’re all dead…”
In Ambassador Lao’s Office
“I believe your usefulness to me has come to an end,” Jubai says with a slight smile. The ambassador is kneeling on the floor in front of his own desk bruised, bleeding, and battered. Even if he wished to stand, one of his legs has been broken. He holds his head high as the blood from his nose and the cut beneath his eye stream down his face.
“You may kill me but you will never kill...”
One of the guards behind him quickly kicks Lao in the back which sends him crashing forward to the ground. Jubai smiles and motions to the men that they may leave him with the captive. They both exit leaving the ambassador and Jubai alone.
“Your defiance is admirable but I’m afraid it is about to end,” Jubai say drawing the pistol from his holster.
“You know that once you kill me you have no bargaining chips. You will have no hope of walking out of here alive.”
“I swore to give my life before I ever stepped foot on American soil,” Jubai responds as he slowly aims his gun. As Lao stares into the eyes of the man about to kill him, he sees sudden movement above him. The large metal grate in the ceiling slams into the terrorist leader sending his shot astray. From the hole in the ceiling drops Captain America to land on the desk. As Jubai looks up Cap delivers a kick straight to his jaw, knocking him back and out of the chair.
“Get down sir,” Cap says as he pivots to face the door. Cap sends his shield hurtling across the room just over the man’s head as he ducks. The doors open and the two guards are slammed by the shield as it ricochets off one and into the other. Steve leaps off the desk and hits the door, grabbing his shield on the way. “Get under the desk and stay there until I get back.”
The next room is already in chaos as Sam has hit the ground already. With a 9mm in each hand, Falcon has already taken down several and has the rest pinned down. Quickly sizing up the situation, Cap sends his shield spinning at a pair of men that are firing from behind an upturned desk. The shield does it’s job knocking one man into the other and jarring the guns from their hands. Steve follows the shield up with a fist for each man taking them both out of the fight.
There is a sudden silence and both Cap and Falcon peer out from behind cover. Cap approaches one of the terrorists who lay on the floor. There is foam coming from the man’s mouth and he twitches slightly. Lean closer, Steve inhales the faint smell of burnt almonds. “Cyanide…”
In the Basement
“Are you done playing with that thing,” Moon Knight asks with an annoyed tone. Moon Knight stands at the stairs leading up watching for more men. Deadpool is still going over the device that sits on the floor. The timer is no longer lit up, but there is a small red light on the control panel.
“Moon, which color do you like better blue or salmon?”
“Are you kidding me” Moon Knight replies angrily.
“You’re right, It’s more of a straight up pink, sorry.”
“Do you take anything seriously?”
“Depends on how much I’m getting paid.” Wilson then begins to hum rhythmically and move one finger back and forth between the wires. He stops on the blue wire and picks up his wire cutters. He quickly clips a wire. “Oh f@*k, I knew it was yellow.”
“Cap, we’re a go here in the basement,” Moon Knight calls over the com.
“Double time, I found a hostage still alive,” Cap’s reply comes.
“Hey, I didn’t think I hit him that hard,” Deadpool says. “Didn’t we leave at least a few of these guys breathing?”
“What are you babbling about, we’ve got to go.”
“All these guys are dead.” Gunfire from above ends any further discussion before it can even start. Both men charge up the stairs, Deadpool pistol in hand and Moon Knight a scarab dart in each hand. Moon Knight kicks the door and knocks it off of it’s hinges. He sends the two darts hurtling at a man who is bringing his gun around towards him. The darts hit the man in the chest and drop him.
“S^%t,” Deadpool says as he makes his way into the room. With the exception of the man Moon Knight just dropped, no one else is in the room. “They better save a few for us,” Deadpool says as he runs past Moon Knight and towards the gunfire. As they move from room to room, the gunfire stops suddenly. “Crap, both Cap and Falcon got nailed, or we missed all the fun…”
The few days later
“This is a bunch of bulls&^t and you know it,” Cap says slamming his fist into the desk. Sam and Steve had just arrived at Nick Fury’s headquarters after spending the last couple of days in Washington. After spending some less than quality time in the company of Tony Stark at SHIELD headquarters, Steve was summoned to answer question in front of the House Armed services Committee.
“I told you when you took this job, that you and Falcon would be the birds on a wire here.”
“I handled everything just like you told me and I still ended up getting grilled.”
“It didn’t help that you did a little grandstanding at the press conference.” Nick watches his comment hit Cap like a stiff jab to the chin causing Steve to get even madder.
“I don’t know why you’re trying to prod me Fury but you’re about to get knocked out. When I said I was going to find the scum that calls itself the Crimson Path and make them accountable, I meant every word. I could care less if you like my comments or not.”
“And you wonder why you were in Washington,” Nick mutters. “While you were gone, Moon Knight went after what we think was a Crimson Path cell here in New York.”
“Why in the hell didn’t you wait…”
“I had no idea when you would be back. Deadpool flaked and Sam was otherwise engaged.”
“Why would you send them on separate missions, are you trying to get someone killed?”
“I’m spread about as thin as can be here. Moon Knight hasn’t reported in since last night, so I thought you could try and pick up his trail.”
“What about Sam?”
“Sam is still working…”
