"I've said this before an I'll say it again, this is stupid." Alex said as he whispered to Falsworth and Morita.

"Hey this was your idea." Morita said with a grin.

"Yes I distinctly remember you saying, I know this might sound crazy, but I've got an a idea." James said as he joins in the ribbing.

"Oh come on, I did say it was a stupid idea. I was expecting someone, anyone, to say, hey right no thanks that a insane plan. Not yup lets go with that." Alex said as he trew down the rope over the cliff.

"Come now old boy, everyone else were stump on how to get to Steve, after he gets capture. Your idea just seem to give us the best chance. And it seem quite fun as well." Falsworth said with a dare devil smile.

"Yeah cheer up we'll get first shot on those bastards." Gabe said in a very good mood.

"It official, I'm surounded by crazy." Alex said with a sigh, as he look down the cliff hoping he got the right length of robe calculates.

James snorted. "Please everyone knows that your the crazies of us all."

"No Im not, I'm the most sane among all of you." Alex said in an insulted tone.

"I do hope your kidding, because you are the most insane one among use, and thats why we are here with you." James said in an almost pitying tone.

"Ok fine just name one time I went off my rocket." Alex said in a confident voice.

"Sure, what about that time you rush in head first in building filled with hydra, alone." Gabe said smirking.

"Hey, that doesn't count, one of those f***er blew up a museum, they deserve an immediate execution. They burn down all those precious treasure from history." Alex said in a righteous tone.

"And the time you drove a explosions filled jeep right into a tank." Gabe said as he looked to Alex as he readied his gear.

"What could I do, It was going to shot on a library I had to stop them." Alex said his voice less righteous, he began to wonder if he was really the odd one here.

"Uh hun, then their was that time with le poulet." Said Dernier as he put his back to the cliff edge.

"Hey, all of you wore grateful for the chicken if i remember correctly." Alex puff up his chest as he regain some vitality towards his reputation in the troop. He also move to the edge of the cliff.

"Yes, true we where very happy, until you told us you got it from an enemy convoy. You killed all of them for a chicken just because you were sick an tired of battlefield rations." Falsworth said in sarcasm at first only to go into exasperation next.

"See we could go on, cause we got a million of your crazy quirk. But we got a job to do." Morita said as he patted Alex shoulder that were now hunch down in defeat.

"Oh no, your right Im crazy." Alex said in a sad voice.

"Don't be sad, you migth be crazy, but if what were about to do is any indication then your just the quirkier crazy among us." James said as he laugth and slam his hand on Alex's back.

The men slowly descended from the cliff all the way to the base. As they move closer they spotted some roofs top guards, fortunately none had look up yet. They continues slowly down, about tens of meters from the roof one of the guard look up. Alex shot him with his silencer, Morita and Falsworth followed shortly by shooting the other guards. Lucky for them the wind was muffling the small sound the silencer made as they cleared the roof. The next step was clearing the guard off the small watch tower. It was set directly in front of the main base as a sort of sniper outlook.

It also provided the exact high for a quick zipline attack directly into Schmidt main office, all thanks to Zola description of the base layout. With how long the howling commandos had been fighting Schmidt, they understood that Steve charging in like he would do. It would definitely fuel Schmidt arrogance, he would no doubt have him escorted to his office with his guard down.

Taking out some binoculars, they all settled down and waited. Alex and Gabe work on the hydra radios making sure to answer so that no one would suspect that the sniper nest had been taken. The rest keep a lookout for Steve's big entrance.

It wasn't long before they heard the roaring of Steve bike followed by an exploding tank in front of the main wall. They watch as Steve came flying off the wall and jumping off his bike creating chaos among the hydra troops. The bike keep on going smashing in the entrance an blew up the main hanger doors. Morita sent a signal over the radio to alert the general that the first step of the plan was in motion.

"Let set up the harpoons." Alex said as he got to work, the other howlings mimicking his movement.

It really was a boon in having Howard Stark as your personnal weapons smith. The man was a genius, all they had to do was ruffly explain what they needed, and the next thing they knew was that Howard brought out a new toy to play with. Secretly Alex called him santa gears, the rest just rolled their eyes at his terrible nicknamed sense.Once everything was set up, they waited for Steve to be brought in Schmidt office.

"Mes amis, I see him." Dernier said as he quickly put away his binocular and pick up his gun, he move to his harpoon.

"Alright bubs, this is for Bucky let give them hell!" James said as also move into position.

"Let them know no quarter, grind them down into nothing." Falsworth said as he also ready himself to battled.

"For Bucky." Gabe said in a firm tone.

"For the capt, let them rue the day they cross any of us." Morita said with a little anger in his voice.

"Let make those bastard crawl back into their mothers and regret ever coming out!" Alex said.

"?....Ok new plan, at least one of us stays with Alex." Gabe said with a chuckle.

"I take offence at that. You bunch of back stabbing Sicilian." Alex said with a grin.

They all fired their harpoons, the small spear tip was tied to a steel wire flew across with breakneck speed. It slam into the concrete right over Schmidt office. They hook themself of the zipline an rush toward the windows, once they were close using the inertia from the zipline they keep on going firing a few shots at the windows, they came in guns blazing.

Falsworth shot the guard that was holding Steve shield, he continiue to advance once he'd reach it he bended down. "Rogers! You might need this!" Trowing Steve shield to him.

"Morita call it in!" Alex shouted as he gun down more guards.

"We’re in! Assault team, go!" Morita said into the comms.

The team keep shooting the hydra guard down, once all of them were dead, Steve look around.

"Great timing, but I got to go after Schmidt." Steve said as he turn.

"Steve, watch your back, and get him." Alex said knowing that this might be the last time he would ever see his friend.

"You own me a beer after this Alex." Steve said with a smile as he rush out of the office after Schmidt.

As Alex keep going around the base shooting hydra soldier, he couldn't stop thinking about how could he change anything to save Steve and stop Schmidt. He came up with one idea he would try and get on the plan that Steve would have his final battle on. So he gave his team a heads up as they moved toward the runway.

By the time they got their, they were just in time to see the general driving with Peggy and Steve, chasing one of the planes. He mist it, looking around to vent his rage for a target, he failing once more to save his friend from destiny. He spotted a buch of hydra going into another plane, he rush them firing wildly he hit a few making the others turn around in surprise. As he came closer finaly two woke up from their daze an rush to the plane, the rest staid put only to be gun down by his rage. He didn't get on the plane he took out a grenade an toss it in the engine, running away after. The blast blew up half the plane, the grenade had explodes exactly at the same time that the engine ingnighted, causing a chain reaction.

It only took a few more minute to after that to win the day. Hydra had crumbled quickly as they had lost their leader, the general Peggy and the howling commandos made their way to the comunication room. Once everyone arrive after a few tense moment the finaly got into contact with Steve. After that everything happen just like the movie, except no one move an remain quiet listening to Steve and Peggy last moment.

Alex was crying, in the movie he always cried at this part but living it being in the room knowing what was going to happen next. Almost broke him, he felt a hand on his shoulder he look over to see James Howlett, with eyes filled with lost, sorrow, anger and understanding. For a moment Alex understood James pain, he was bless and curse with a power were he would watch anyone he loved grow old and die. With time he had to learn to move past the pain and keep on going. Alex nodded his silent thanks at James and stood up proud of having been friends with Steve Rogers, as tiers came down his face he stood in the room with everyone listening in on the last words of a good man.
