Andi sat beside Wanda at a coffee table. The small cafe they were at was quaint, and out In the open, allowing them a good view of the streets nearby. It was the optimal place to keep an eye on the situation around them, in case things went south. And, of course, this was supposedly where they would find their target. Or some sign of him at least.

For a mission, Andi was dressed relatively normally. This was mainly to blend in. She had been using the suit that Tony made for her for training, but not today. Now, she was dressed in a simple t shirt and a pair of cotton shorts, to allow her to move around easily. She also sported a blue jacket that was not entirely an ordinary jacket. It looked normal from the outside, but the shoulder pads were lined with an empty space for her to store things. Well, small things.

In Andi's case, it held seeds, for the purpose of demonstrating something she had been working on for a while now. And, of course, the jacket had been a gift from Tony so the whole seed idea was his. If she used it today — which would be her first time doing so — Tony wasn't going to be there to see it.

Through the earpiece, Andi heard Steve's voice. "All right. What do you see?"

He was speaking to both Wanda and Andi. As the newest members to this whole dangerous game, this was more a test of what they'd learned through training. Wanda had been on more missions before this, but for Andi it was the first, so she was determined not to mess up.

"Standard beat cops," Wanda answered, idly stirring the coffee in the mug in front of her while she got a better look around. Andi followed her gaze to identify things as Wanda listed them off. "Small station. Quiet street. It's a good target."

"There's an ATM on the south corner," Steve continued. "Which means?"

"Cameras," Andi answered almost immediately, remembering a few sessions of hers with Nat. "And both streets are one way so, compromised escape routes."

"Which means our guy isn't afraid to make a scene or make a mess on the way out," Steve added. "You see that Range Rover halfway up the block?"

Andi vaguely wondered which building Steve was hiding out in, but he obviously had the same view as them.

"The red one?" Andi asked for confirmation before Wanda piped in.

"It's cute."

"It's also bulletproof," This time it was Nat who spoke into Andi's ear. "Which means private security. Which means more guns, which means more headaches for somebody. Probably us."

"Okay, keep your eyes on the target, folks," Steve spoke. "This is our best lead on Rumlow in six months. I don't want to lose him."

"Huh," Andi recognised Sam's voice through the earpiece. He was likely stationed up high somewhere. "If he sees us coming, that won't be a problem. He hates our guts."

There was a bit of silence for a few moments before Steve spoke again. "Sam, see that garbage truck?" This time, Andi couldn't see what Steve was talking about so it must be further down the road, where a building blocked her view. "Tag it."

"Got it, Cap." After a few moments, Sam spoke again. "Yeah, the truck is loaded for maximum weight. And the driver's armed."

So that was their target. But what was he doing with an overloaded garbage truck?

"It's a battering ram," Nat spoke, and only then did the realisation dawn on Andi.

"We've got to move, now," Steve said.

"What?" Wanda was surprised, and so was Andi, because this was happening quicker than she expected. Nevertheless, she got to her feet and began to move, alongside Wanda, to the facility that was down the road. She heard the crash before she saw it, and as she and Wanda got closer, And could see where the garbage truck had toppled over, leaving the pathway open for large vans to enter and storm the place.

From afar, Andi saw as men with guns started to flow out from the back of the vans, immediately beginning to shoot at any security personnel on sight.

Wanda and Andi took a turn, deciding to launch over the walls to take them by surprise as they entered the place.

Andi couldn't fly, and she didn't have powers that could vault her over walls, but Wanda and her had been practising this — and since Andi was small, it worked easily.

Andi stood by the edge of the wall, and Wanda used her powers to lift her up and onto the other side, allowing her to land with a small roll to the ground. She managed to deflect two bullets that came her way because she fortunately noticed them in time. All she had to do was lift a hand and jerk it to one side and the bullet mimicked that movement.

By then, Wanda had landed beside her, and Andi sensed Sam flying overhead to help Steve, who had already landed on top of one of the trucks and dealt with a few of the armed men.

Men began to notice both her and Wanda now, so a rain of bullets came their way. Wanda simply lifted her hands, and a reddish forcefield formed in front of them, blocking any bullets that came their way, and allowing Andi to focus on the armed men. One by one, with a bit of concentration, she was able to yank the guns out of their hands using her control over metal.

There were many of them but she managed, using the butt of their guns to knock the men out at the same time so they didn't have to deal with them at all. Anyone that Andi missed, Sam took care of. The whole ordeal probably took a minute or two but it felt like much longer for Andi.

For the time being, nobody else was around, except her, Wanda, Steve and Sam. Sam was busy controlling his remote drone — or as he liked to call it, Redwing — and after a scan was done of the building by the drone, Sam spoke up. "Rumlow's on the third floor."

Steve nodded and looked to Wanda and Andi. "Just like we practised."

Wanda nodded. "What about the gas?"

"Get it out," Steve said, getting into position right before Wanda used her powers to launch him up and into the third floor. He used his shield to break his fall before running further into the building and disappearing from their view.

"Andi." Wanda's voice made her look back to her, and she realised they needed to work on getting out the gas. She knew immediately what she needed to do so she nodded and ran to the nearest window pane. All she had to do was press her fingers to the metal of it, and the entire sheet of glass began to vibrate before eventually shattering due to the intensity.

As the glass broke, Wanda used her powers to draw out the gas, keeping it as controlled as she could. While she worked on releasing it into the sky, Andi helped Sam take out a few more armed men. Sam used guns, and Andi used her abilities, at one point, using the car they were taking cover behind as a battering ram to push them against the wall behind them. It'd be enough to trap them for a while, which was all Andi wanted to achieve. These may be bad people, but Andi didn't quite think she had it in her to actually kill them. She couldn't do that.

"Rumlow's got a biological weapon." The fact that Steve was saying that meant that Rumlow was no longer within his view. Which had to mean he got out of the building, and probably through the back, since Andi, Wanda and Sam were at the front and nobody else was there.

"I'm on it," Nat's voice came, and it wasn't long before Andi began to hear the telltale sounds of a fight. "They're getting away."

Sam took that as his cue to fly off into the air so he could track down whatever car they were in. Andi, like Wanda, moved on foot, out of the facility and into the streets to see what they could do.

"I see four of them. They're splitting up," Sam's voice came in through the earpiece. Andi couldn't see the four that he was talking about because they were still further ahead than Andi and Wanda, so the two of them continued running. From what Andi could hear through the earpieces, she had gathered that Sam went after one pair while Nat went after the other. And Steve... Steve was fighting directly with Rumlow not far up ahead. Andi could see the destruction that was a result of it.

"I've got nothing," Sam's voice came not long after. The men he'd been following had just been a decoy, which meant Nat had better luck.

As Andi waited to hear some good news, she and Wanda were nearing the place where Steve and Rumlow were still engaged in combat. Andi hadn't been told the whole story. What she knew was that he worked for Hydra, and that was more than enough to get Andi on board with getting rid of him.

"Payload secure," Nat's voice came suddenly. That meant that their mission was almost done with. All that was left to deal with was Rumlow.

She and Wanda had arrived at the scene and came to a stop. Steve was just a few feet in front of them, fighting with Rumlow, till Steve was backed into a corner, against a wall.

Rumlow held his hand out, and from it, a blade shot out, and just the sight of it made Andi's heart begin to race because she could only assume what he was going to do to Steve with it.

"This is for dropping a building on my face," Rumlow was saying, but Andi acted on instinct, reaching a hand out in that direction. In seconds, the blade flew off his hand. This was sudden enough to cause Rumlow to turn and look at her in surprise, which gave Steve the opening he needed to push Rumlow off and send him to the ground with a hard punch.

When Rumlow got up, Steve just gave him a kick, sending him spinning through the air till he landed on his back, on top of a nearby table. It broke underneath his weight, and Rumlow didn't get the chance to get up fully because Steve was in front of him now. He was kneeling, and Steve's hands curled around the collars of Rumlow's suit.

"Who's your buyer?" Steve asked him, looking him right in the eye.

Rumlow took his own sweet time in responding, but it wasn't the answer they were looking for. "You know," he began. "He knew you. Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky."

Steve's fists clenched and he pulled Rumlow closer. "What did you just say?"

Andi was not sure why that name struck a chord with him, but she attempted to move closer, with Wanda doing the same from the other side. This time though, Rumlow didn't look to Steve when he spoke. He turned, his gaze locking onto Andi, which made her freeze. "I've got quite a bit of dirt on you too, kid," he said with a sadistic smile on his face. "Your mom told me I'd probably run into you. And she said not to hesitate to take you down."

"Don't look at her," Steve spat, shaking him by the collar to get his focus back onto him. All Andi could think of was how this man knew her mother. And of course, there was the mild surprise of knowing that her mother was still alive and out there somewhere. Part of her always suspected it, but actually hearing it, having her suspicions be confirmed, was a different thing.

Rumlow was speaking to Steve again, taunting him. "He wanted you to know something," he said, and Andi forced herself to concentrate instead of letting her mind wander back to her mother. If Rumlow's intention had been to distract them, he was so far proving to do a successful job. Andi was still kind of frozen, and Steve's face fell, the initial anger vanishing, his expression now reading only concern and a bit of surprise.

"He said to me," Rumlow continued. "'Please tell Rogers, when you gotta go, you gotta go.'"

That didn't make sense to Andi but Rumlow then continued. And Andi only noticed in the last second that his hand had been moving toward his waist to grab something.

"And I'm taking you with me," he said with a grin, fingers clasping around what Andi identified as some kind of detonator. He was going to blow himself up.

"Wanda!"

The yell was enough to alert the other woman, and she had her hands at the ready. Before the explosion could spread beyond where Rumlow was, to reach Steve, Wanda had enveloped it in a kind of forcefield, keeping it contained to Rumlow.

For the time being.

Andi knew that she had to let it go, and because she was caught off guard, she also knew she couldn't hold it much longer. Knowing that launching the explosion into the sky and away from everyone else was the only way to do this, Andi acted fast, reaching into her shoulder pads to bring out a few seeds. She quickly tossed it to the ground, near Rumlow, and held her hands out.

All it took was a second of concentration, and, feeling a tug in her gut, the seeds shook for a few moments before sprouting, large and fast. Thick vines carried Rumlow up at full speed, still surrounded by Wanda's energy.

Andi had intended to lead the explosion away from the civilians, but in the process, she hadn't been able to fully control the direction in which the vines grew. The began to lean, just as Wanda was letting go of her hold on Rumlow, and the very moment Wanda dropped her hands was when the vines pushed Rumlow, and the impending explosion, right into the side of a building.

Glass shattered, people were screaming, and smoke filled the air. Steve was speaking, calling for fire and rescue. But all Andi could do was stare at the flames that filled at least three floors in the building, while thinking about all the innocent people she just killed.
