Grey watched the Quinjet dock from a couple hundred feet above and behind. He'd arrived a little bit before it, but given that it was relatively hard to unload any large amount of people if there was already a jet docked, Coulson had elected to keep him in the air. He waited a couple minutes, then tapped the screen on his brace and brought the Zephyr to a hover. Grey brought his jet into a hover slightly ahead of the Quinjet already on the Zephyr. He lowered the cargo ramp, then unhooked his oxygen line and grabbed his bag from the floor. He whistled, and Huginn and Muninn flew to his shoulders. Jumping down from the ramp a couple feet above the top of May's jet he tapped the screen again after his ravens followed. His jet raised its ramp and flew off as a hole opened in the top of the jet he was standing on. He grabbed the edge and swung down, then proceeded towards the hole still open in its belly and walked down the stairs as the roof closed up behind him and the Zephyr began to move forwards again. Grey slid his visor up, then unbuckled the oxygen mask and hung it on his flight suit before pulling off his helmet and tucking it under his arm. Huginn and Muninn fluttered to his shoulders as he walked forwards. "So, Coulson, what's the big—" He stopped speaking as he saw the group surrounding Coulson. "—deal. Never mind, I guess that question has been answered. Huginn, Muninn, go." The pair of ravens let out a caw as they took off, heading for Grey's bunk.

Natasha listened to the whole story. Her brows furrowed, lips pursed. She looked- a bit annoyed. However, her emotions were more surpressed than that of Steve’s and her annoyance grew. Looking at Coulson, she had to close her eyes for one brief moment. Yes, she was happy her friend was alive- and yes, she was happy he was leader of shield.
But this whole explanation meant 15 minutes less of life their objectives have.
“Coulson,” her even voice finally broke the air, hand reaching forward and gently settling on the makeshift ‘Captain America’ shield. “I am glad you are alright- and that everything you’ve done is taken cared of,” she inhaled, “But i was hoping we would meet in better circumstances.”
Clint sharply inhaled from the side.
“We requested help because America isnt America anymore. Johann Schmidt- as you should know who it is- is our dictator,” she paused, “and he kidnapped a valuable friend of all of us.” She let silence settle for a second before she continued, “We need to head towards the white house- or something. Though, I can’t guarantee you that you can safely drop us off.”
Clint then piped in softly, “She’s a very dear friend.. especially to Bucky and Logan,” he gestured to the okder man with good mutton chops. “And her brother who used to be a traitor to shield, kinda took it upon himself to disappear with her at the same time. Past history says he betrayed the good guys. Suspect says that he sided with Johann... again.”
—
Borya stared at Rei for a long time. “I have to be serious,” he told them softly, his fingers brushing their hair back. “I want to know if you can keep her safe where I failed to.. i dont want her to end up like me.” His voice was soft, the deep soothing tone like honey and his evergreen hues half lidding. He looked exhausted; his bruises confirming what he felt. “If I still live... we can still have little seals of silver and black..”

Cap:
Steve listened to Coulson's explanation, his head spinning slightly. All the while they'd been on the run and fighting the bad guys (or being the bad guys), S.H.I.E.L.D had still existed - the real S.H.I.E.L.D, or what was left of it - and it was being run by someone they all thought had died. It was a lot to take in, and he felt a sensation similar to the time he had been stuck in the ice seventy years and ended up in present-day New York.
"Well, I'm glad you're alive, Coulson, and still with good humor. It's nice to see a familiar face, but I must admit I was not expecting this. None of us were." He glanced over at the others, his brows furrowed, and then back at Coulson. "I'm also glad that you're the one Maria sent us to see. When she said we were meeting someone we could trust, I was hesitant. But you're one of the few people in the world I know I can trust - even if you did keep all this a secret."
He then listened to the others explain their situation and asked, "So, you think you could help?"
Bucky:
Bucky stuck his hands in his pockets. He had a hard time trusting anyone - including himself - after what he'd gone through, all the messing with his mind and such, but he knew these people must have been the good guys. Still, he hoped they were as good as told - not just in personality, but in being able to help. Alyona was like a little sister to him, and he still felt like he was responsible in some way that she was gone.
Logan:
At the mention of his name, Logan gave a slight wave.

Coulson retracted the shield. "The Red Skull is masquerading as the president? Wow. Well, we should be able to get you there. Grey, can you do that?" Grey nodded. "Frankly, Coulson, I'm insulted that you had to ask. Romanoff might not be able to guarantee a safe drop-off, but I certainly can. We'll need a new Quinjet, since the one we use will almost certainly be destroyed, and once they know we're there, they'll bring in too many big guns to make an aerial extraction feasible, but getting there shouldn't be a problem." Coulson looked back at Cap. "Fighter pilots are generally extremely cocky, but if he says he can do it, he can do it." Grey spoke. "Before you agree to anything, I'd like to say this: I will be extremely surprised if none of you vomit on the flight in."
(Also: I will FIGHT you, Tals)

Natasha listened to them, cracking a smile at Coulson’s jab to grey before she looked at Steve. A little elbow nudge, her gaze finally settled on the Pilot. “A very headstrong pilot, with a warning to gag,” she mused, glancing over at the large Mutant known as Logan. “I dont think we would, except that tough guy.”
Clint gave an indifferent shrug, his attention now turning to his weapons. His head turned, looking as Natasha grabbed the bag she had in her hands and gave a sigh. “Im sure we’ll be back,” she mumbled to herself, tossing it to the side and looking at where it landed so nicely in a corner.
“How are you gonna know Alyona can detect you?” He suddenly questioned.
“Alyona is a tough kid. You’ll see when we get there,” Natasha answered. Standing upright, her head tilted to Grey.
“After you.”
Alyona shifted slightly. Faint- every energy and vibe she picked up was faint. Several were familiar, but they were too far to even identify. Legs shifting, she sat up from her spot and looked at her brother with a sad look. This would be one big misunderstanding wouldnt it?

(ROBBIE)
Grey shifted slightly, then spoke once more. "Well, first we're going to need to steal a jet from the military. Any of our jets can be traced back to us if they find the wreckage. You guys up for some grand theft aviation? We've got some parachutes and oxygen masks in the back, and we're passing over an air force base in ten minutes. We should be fine without you, but it would be nice to have some backup. We don't know how secure the new Quinjets are. If you want, there's time to put your stuff in a bunk before we reach the drop zone."

Logan:
Logan cast a glare at Natasha, but he knew he wasn't being subtle in the least. It was clear that he was the only uncomfortable one when it came to flying. "Hate to admit it, but the redhead's right," he said, his eyes moving towards Grey. "If anyone's gonna yack on the way in, it'll be me. Big tough mutant ain't so big and tough after all." He rolled his eyes.
Cap:
"Grand theft aviation?" Steve lifted his eyes, interest shining. "Not to fond of stealing, but I have done a lot of 'borrowing' back in the day, if you know what I mean." He winked and then dropped his bag off his shoulder and motioned towards the others. "I'm in. What about you, Buck? Nat? Clint? Logan?"
Bucky:
Bucky shot Steve a glance that said he was crazy for having to ask. "You gone soft in your old age, Steve? Usually I'd be the one to ask you if you were up to it. Of course I'm in." He shrugged his backpack off his back and held it in one hand. "Director, where are the bunks?" He cast a look over his shoulder. "Those them over there?"
Logan:
"Jumping out of a plane?" He let out a laugh. "Why not?" As if my legs aren't shaking as it is.

Coulson followed Bucky's eyes. "Yeah, those are the bunks. We should have enough spares for all of you. It's a little more cramped than the helicarrier, but that was really expensive to maintain. We put it back in storage." Grey moved back towards the bunk his birds had gone into with his bag. "Hey, if they don't blow it up, I'll give it back. It's their own property they'd be destroying. Doesn't affect me. And if you don't like flying, you are absolutely going to hurl, big guy. Although on second thought, it'll be a lot easier to get us all on the Quinjet if it's on the ground, so unless you guys are willing to go back to our base first, everybody going to D.C. needs to be jumping. Does everybody here have enough experience with parachutes to land where they want, and/or some other accurate method of getting down? If not, you'll have to jump tandem."

“We dont have no time to go back,” Natasha intervened, her gaze shifting to the area. “At this point, we jump.” Her gaze shifted to Clint, who turned to put on his mask and parachute. The man was all ready- simply waiting for what they needed to do. Jumping was easy, especially for Natasha. Now for the others? He couldn’t speak for them. His eyes lifted, looking as Nat sent Logan a little look that said he’d regret his little glare later.
Natasha pulled her hair up into a small, thick ponytail, small curls falling from her temples and brown gaze settle on the floor. Or, what looked to be the floor. She was doing something with her wrist, fiddling with a screen and giving a little snort. “Bon-hwa figured out we’re getting to the area. We have to act fast or his drones are going to take us out.”

"Okay then. I'm going to go put on my suit." Grey went into his bunk with his bag. Daisy opened a cabinet, then turned to the Avengers. "These are ICERs. We have pistols and M4s. They have a dose of dendrotoxin that will knock somebody out immediately for several hours. We've got weapons in the surrounding cabinets. Grab anything you want and strap it on. We've got a few minutes until we reach the drop zone. When you jump, aim for the northernmost Quinjet." Daisy grabbed an ICER and strapped it on, then slung the bag with her laptop over her shoulder. She was pulling on her gauntlets as Grey reappeared, dressed in a very similar style, but with dark red highlights, instead of dark yellow. His ravens were perched on his shoulders as he strapped on a pair of matte black greaves, then slid on matching bracers. He strapped an ICER to his hip, them trapped one of the ICER M4 carbines and several ammo clips, then straightened up and turned towards the rest of the group.

Bucky:
"On second thought, I'll take my bag with me then," he muttered, looking around at the others. He didn't want to let it out of his sight, plus he'd been so used to traveling around with the thing it would probably seem empty without it. He pulled the straps back over his shoulders and clicked the strap in the front.
Cap:
"Great. I thought we were being quiet. Can't we get a break?" Steve shook his head, staring at the ground. He didn't like that Bon-hwa already knew they were coming. He let out a breath and put his hands on his hips. His gaze moved until it rested on Grey. "Well, for our sake and theirs, let's hope they don't get shot out of the sky," he said.
He grabbed a few parachutes and handed one to Bucky and the other to Logan, who was muttering to himself about needing a drink or two after all this was over. He then grabbed an icer and tucked it in his belt. Beside him Bucky was stocking up on a fair amount of weapons as well.
Upon staring at him with his eyebrows raised, Bucky shrugged. "You never know what we're going to need," he said. "Besides, I know you don't like weapons, preferring to work with your hands, but weapons are where I excel."
"Can't argue with that," Steve said. He then began to put on his parachute. "I've jumped out of planes without any parachutes," he said. "Not so much with. This'll be fun."
Logan:
"Northernmost quinjet. Right." Logan quickly strapped the parachute on and watched the others. At the mention of this being fun, Logan let out a laugh. "Fun? Maybe an adventure. I'm not so sure where the 'fun' comes in." He once more rolled his eyes. "In all my life, flying just isn't something I can get used to, no matter how many times I've done it. My feet prefer to stay on the ground."

"You just worry about how we're going to get back out," Grey said, strapping a Sig Sauer to his left hip. "I can get us in just fine. We're almost to the drop zone, by the way." He slid open a door in the side of the Zephyr. A red light illuminated near the door as he pulled on his helmet, then shouted over the sound of the rushing wind. "As soon as the light turns green, we all jump!" Having dispensed all relevant information, he spoke to the ravens, which had relocated to a seat near him. "Huginn, Muninn, follow." Grey strapped on his oxygen mask, slid down the visor, and connected the air hose. He then picked up the M4 and waited for the light to turn green. After a few seconds, it did, and he followed Daisy out of the plane, the two birds close behind as they plummeted at terminal velocity towards the tarmac, over five miles below.

Cap:
"That's where we'll come in, I'm sure," Steve said, grinning slightly. As much as taking a break from stunts and fighting was great, he could already feel the adrenaline coursing throughout his veins with the excitement that came from getting back into the field. He put on his oxygen mask and did a thumbs up to the others. When the green light flashed, he found himself smiling. Just like old times. He took one step and then jumped off the ramp and into the air, wind screaming in his ears.
Bucky:
"Well, better get moving bugs," he muttered to himself, thinking back to the day he 'died'. It was bitter-sweet. The last day he'd spent with Steve and the howling commandos. The day they'd taken Zola hostage. It had been a turning point in their war for sure, but it had also been a turning point in his life, the day he'd changed forever. With a quick shake of his head to rid the thoughts, he pulled on his mask and jumped out of the plane.
Logan:
He pulled on his mask and without allowing himself to think about what he was doing, he jumped. In a way, though, jumping was better. He just didn't like being stuck in a plane. At least this was freedom.

Grey plummeted towards the earth. A couple hundred feet off the ground, he flared his wings out and swooped towards the Quinjet. Angling up, he killed most of his forwards velocity, and with a quick flap, Grey settled onto the top of jet. He immediately dropped onto his stomach and wormed towards the back, nestling between the engines. He racked the charging bolt on his M4 as Huginn and Muninn swept down, landing on the engines, then peered through the sight, aiming at the nearest building.
Daisy thrust her hands forwards and slowed her descent, landing just in front of the left wing. She dropped down and rolled under the jet. Pulling her bag out from underneath her, she extracted an electric drill and unscrewed a panel on the belly of the bird. Daisy set this aside and pulled out her laptop and a USB cable as she rolled over onto her stomach. She plugged one end into a slot she had just exposed, then stuck the other into her laptop and opened it. Daisy began to type, working her way around the jet's security measures as she waited for the rest of the team to arrive on the ground.

Cap:
It seemed like only a few seconds and the thrill was over. He pulled up and then let his feet touch the ground before rocking slightly and coming to a slow. He unstrapped the parachute and let it fall to the ground, pulling it behind him as he rolled it up and crouched towards the jet where the others were. He watched Daisy typing away at her computer and had to awe at how well she was with technology. If you needed help with some old WW2 technology, he was your guy, but when it came to 21st century technology, he still could barely figure out how to use his phone.
He dropped down beside her and nodded towards her typing. "How long's it going to take until we're back up in the air?" he asked the S.H.I.E.L.D agent.
Bucky & Logan:
Bucky dropped down next to Steve, and Logan came down a second later, blowing a puff of breath out of his mouth as he landed. They both unstrapped their parachutes and rolled them up as they walked towards the jet. Bucky noticed how quiet it was and hoped that any noises they made wouldn't alert anyone that they were there. He could just imagine the amount of security cameras that were watching them like spies and kept his hand trained on an icer strapped to his belt just in case he needed a quick shot. As Steve talked quietly to Daisy, he turned around and let his eyes scan the clearing, his ears listening for any bit of noise that wasn't of his crew's creation.

Daisy looked over her shoulder at the captain. "Should just be a couple minutes," she said. "I had a zero day in the targeting systems, but unfortunately, they've patched that. That would have been much quicker. I'm decrypting a start-up log to get an access key, so once I've got that, we're good." Grey saw a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye. Turning slightly, he saw a door by the guardhouse shut, and moments later noticed a figure making its way towards them. Evidently, somebody on duty had figured out there wasn't supposed to be anybody out here, and was wandering over to check on them. "Heads up. We've got incoming," he said over comms. "One target, heading this way from the south."

Borya stared at Rei for a long time. “I have to be serious,” he told them softly, his fingers brushing their hair back. “I want to know if you can keep her safe where I failed to.. i dont want her to end up like me.” His voice was soft, the deep soothing tone like honey and his evergreen hues half lidding. He looked exhausted; his bruises confirming what he felt. “If I still live... we can still have little seals of silver and black..” -I will fite u nite; nicholas cage and samuel elliot are the real ghost riders //tackles//- "Yes." Rei sighed out, "I know I can, Borya." they admitted to him while they closed their eyes for a moment or two, trying to at least savor his voice. They were almost tempted to at least fall asleep for a little bit, just to savor... Ah... They bit their lip softly while leaning into his touch, not wanting to admit how much they constantly craved that. "Seals..." they giggled weakly, "Ah, goofy little seals that will surely drive us crazy." they mumbled while stroking his face slowly.

Cap:
Steve nodded as Daisy spoke. "Good thing Coulson's got you on his team," he remarked. He wanted to say more, maybe ask how long she had been on the team or what it was like working in the dark, but he felt like he should probably just let her work in peace. It was still a shock to him that Agent Coulson was alive, nevermind the fact that he was the new head of S.H.I.E.L.D, which wasn't even supposed to exist, by the way. With a small breath, he shut himself up. There'd be more time for questions later once their team was rescued and they weren't stealing - no, borrowing - quinjets.
Bucky:
"Oh, great," he muttered, catching the movement at the same time as Grey. "Company." He honestly wasn't surprised that they'd showed up. In fact, his only surprise was that it took them that long to notice that a bunch of runaways were taking over their planes. He lifted his icer and aimed it towards the guard. "Got em'." If there was one thing he didn't doubt, it was his shot. He let the icer bullet fly. It glided across the lot and a second later there was a thud as the guard dropped cold. Bucky wiped his hand over his forehead and then said, "I don't know if he managed to call any backup before I got him, but he's down."
Logan:
He'd let his claws slide out, but it was clear that they were trying to make as little noise as possible. He slowly let the claws slide back in. When he was needed, he was sure they'd let him know. Still, he hated being under the command of others.

Borya smiled to them, nosing their hand as best as he could. Though, the doors opened and the robotic sentries whirred to life. They left the couple alone, instead grabbing Alyona as Borya was too weak to move. She qrithed, flailing her legs as her wrists were bound up and she was dragged out into the hallway. Settled down, she glared at Bonhwa as a little camera flickered to life.
Through this whole thing, Natasha and Clint followed as quietly and closely as possible. The only movement or noise they made was went a small drone dropped a sort of screen that flickered to life. “Yo guys-“ Clint voiced out as the drone flew away without any more regards to them.
Tucked below the quinjet and looking to make sure that Daisy had it covered, Natasha heard Bon-hwa’s little amused chuckle.
“I got your package right here- too bad Borya couldn’t fight like she did,” the Korean laughed.
Natasha glared at the screen. “What is it that you want? Whats your point in showing us her?”
“Is it not to make sure your plans aren’t a failure? Your attempts at saving someone a flop? Y’see-“ He gave a weird noise, Alyona headbutting him and knocking him to the side. She looked upset, broke and hurt. A black eye was visible, and she had to use her shoulder to support herself.
“Where are you?” Natasha asked seriously.
“Its.. the white house.. i think...” Alyona muttered in answer, sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor in exhaustion.
Clint was riled up. “Nat, Bon-hwa is mine.”

Grey heard the shot echo across the ramp and sighed as we watched the sentry drop like a rock. “Did it not occur to you to maybe let him get a little closer so we’d have as much time as possible to get the jet up in the air?”
Inside the guardhouse, an aging lieutenant looked up at the unexpected noise. “What was that?” he muttered to himself, then went to the window. It was at that point that he saw the prone form of the man that had gone to check on the group of people near the northernmost Quinjet. He scrambled for the phone. Seconds later, the alarm klaxon went off.
“Daisy, how much longer?” Grey asked tersely. “Couple more seconds,” came the reply. Daisy tapped the enter key, and the ramp started to lower as more soldiers began to appear. Grey squeezed off two quick shots from his rifle, then stood into a crouch and ran for the back end of the jet. He dropped down to the concrete, then pivoted and ran up the ramp towards the cockpit. He slapped the Engine Start button, then quickly set the rifle on the copilot’s seat and strapped himself in as the turbojets began to spool up and the two ravens fluttered in through the opening in the back. Underneath, Daisy unplugged her computer and screwed the panel back on. She returned the drill, laptop, and cord to her bag, then slid an ICER out of her hip holster and tugged back the slide, clambering a round with a satisfying click. It had been a while since she’d used any kind of weapon other than her powers and her body, but she figured it was a bad idea to close in to the range at which either of those options would be useful. “Stay outside for now, it’s going to be at least thirty seconds before we can get going, and we need to stay maneuverable.”

Cap:
Steve's attention was quickly snapped to the sound of a bullet, and then a moment later he heard the sirens going off. He glanced over at Bucky, who was still holding the icer at his side, and then he looked over at Grey. He was going to say that his friend knew what he was doing, but then he saw the drone and he froze, his eye focused on that instead. "We have a heading," he said after a moment, blinking at Alyona's condition. "Now we know for sure the White House is where we're going."
He then braced himself as soldiers entered the area. He didn't have his shield, but he had a few icers if he needed them. Otherwise, it was hand to hand combat. He stood by Bucky's side as the sirens roared and the quinjet's engines warmed up.
Bucky:
"I can handle it," Bucky grunted, glancing from Grey to the guardhouse. He hated that his little stunt made him seem like a fool. He knew he had acted too quickly, but he knew what he was doing. He had his icers and he had his knives. Maybe the point was to get in and get out quietly, but the guy had already noticed them and they were going to be lifting off soon anyways. But, then, perhaps Alyona was on his mind. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. There was no time for a plan or thinking. When the next round of men came, he knew he could handle them with a flick of his fingers. Besides, working under pressure was something he was used to. He listened to the shots being fired and then silence when Grey disappeared into the quinjet. "We got this out here," he told Daisy. "Just let us know when you're ready." And then beside him, Steve said, "Just like old times."
Logan:
"Great. Look what trigger fingers over there got us into," he muttered with a roll of his eyes. He watched the men pool from near the guardhouse and stood beside the others, ready to fight if need be. Although, for once he was actually waiting to get back in the air. The quicker they were off, the quicker they could get to Alyona and the others. And she didn't look too good. As he braced himself for the fight, his heart began to race at the thought of his old friend being tortured.

Natasha took a quick glance at the group of men heading their direction, hearing a quiet laugh escape Alyona when she heard Logan’s comment. It warmed the older female, happy to hear the melodic noise for once as Clint readied his arrows. “Is that all you want us to know?” Natasha asked softly.
A little hum as Alyona croaked out, “Red Skull is here... And theres a lot of bots.. just stay safe.”
“We will,” Natasha smiled slightly, throwing a glance at the men and growling out, “Ready for Skull?” Her wrists met, a soft crackling noise filling the air as tasers started to work.
“Hurry up in there!” Clint shouted into the jet, furrowing his brows

“Do I look like I can psychically control how long it takes for an engine to spool up? I’m going as fast as I can. Just try not to kill anybody in the next few seconds before we get going.” The scream of the engines grew louder, and as they reached the normal idle RPM, Grey shunted power to the rotors, which began to spin within their aerodynamic shroud, and pushed the throttles to the stops, trying to get as much power as possible available to divert to the rotors. After a few seconds, he called out over the comms, “All right, everybody, time to go.” He grabbed the rifle off the copilot’s seat and put it in the locker behind his seat. Daisy pulled the trigger of her ICER several more times, before the slide locked back on an empty chamber. She ran for the ramp and sat back against the inside wall of the Quinjet. She thumbed the release, and the the clip dropped out. She slammed a new clip in and racked the slide back, then rummaged through the weapons locker. She pulled out an MP5, thumbed off the safety, chambered a round, and laid down some suppressing fire, careful to aim over the heads of the soldiers. After all, they were just doing their jobs, and in almost any other circumstances, she would have tried to stop anybody in her position.

Cap:
"Ready for this all to be over is more like it," Steve said as Natasha's cuffs began to crackle. "But, yeah. I've been ready for a long time. I thought we'd eliminated Skull 70 years ago. I'm not going to let him get away with anything else. It's time he went in the ground for good." He slowly began to back up until his feet were touching the edge of the ramp and then at Grey's call, he turned around and ducked into the quinjet and took a seat. Staring out the opening, he saw the soldiers duck at Daisy's warning.
Bucky:
"Right that," he said to Steve as they backed up. "Red Skull's already ruined our lives and the lives of all our friends. It's time that ends." He then followed his friend into the quinjet and sat down beside him, letting his icer rest on his thigh.
Logan:
"Try not to kill anyone?" he muttered, a low laugh escaping his throat. "Can't make any promises." But the fight never came. Only moments later Grey was calling back to them to let them know it was time to lift off. He gave one last look at the soldiers as Daisy let off a few warning shots above their heads and then he ducked into the quinjet beside her. He took a seat and held onto the straps.

Grey clicked the button for the intercom. “Good evening, folks. This is your captain speaking. The weather is a balmy 55 degrees. Please be seated, and if at any point on this flight to Washington, D.C., the blood rushes from your head and you feel like you’re going pass out, just tense all your muscles, and the feeling should abate. If you feel nauseous, do try not to vomit on your fellow passengers, as we will not be providing airsickness bags. That concludes our pre-flight briefing. We should be lifting off in a few moments. Thank you for flying the friendly skies with Air Grey.” That being said, he tapped one of the Quinjets many screens, then scrolled down. “Nice,” he said to himself, as he made a selection. Van Halen’s “Panama” began to blare our over the sound system as he waited for the remaining two members of the team to board. They were former S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, and probably had a great deal of experience flying in a Quinjet.
(kind of have to wait for tals now)

Clint fired off an arriw, smoke coming out in a plume at the group’s feet and hiding their lift off. He rushed into the plane, Natasha hot on his heels and the duo plopped into their respectful seats. They sat there, Natasha holding up the screen that still had Alyona on it. The blonde didn’t say anything for another moment, gaze focused on the man she had taken down before murmuring something.
“Natasha..”
“Im here,” she stated, despite the blaring music.
“If-“
“Im not going to have that discussion. I know what youre going to say and Im going to refuse it,” Natasha frowned heavily. “Just stay strong and focus on our signatures.”
With that, the camera died and Natasha stared blankly at the screen. She was afraid yes- but she had to remain strong. Looking at the pilots and then the group, she inhaled softly then.

As the pair reached the ramp, Grey flipped a switch, and it began to raise instantly. As her firing field shrank, Daisy popped out the magazine and fired the round in the chamber, then set the gun back in the locker and ran forwards, strapping in to the copilot’s seat. The moment the ramp shut, Grey flipped a switch, and the panels covering the lift fans retracted into the wings. The Quinjet shot skywards, and as it climbed, he gradually shifted the power back to the engines. He raised the landing gear and activated cloaking as the jet went vertical, still accelerating. As it passed Mach 1, he began to pull back on the stick more, and went past vertical. He moved the stick to the right, and the craft flipped upright, still climbing at a 45 degree angle, on an intercept course for the Zephyr. “Daisy, take the stick for a moment.” he said. “My airplane.” “Your airplane.” Grey slid up the visor, unbuckled the oxygen mask, and pulled off his helmet. He stowed both in the locker behind him, then pulled a pair of silver mirrored aviators out of a pocket and put them on, then put on a headset, then put his hand back on the stick. “My airplane.” “Your airplane.” A few minutes later, the hulking form of the Zephyr became visible. The Quinjet pulled up underneath, and with a flick of a switch, the refueling probe extended, to catch the drogue flying from the Zephyr. They connected, and Jet-A began flowing into the tanks of the Quinjet.

Logan:
Logan felt like the pilot's words were directed towards him, but he just rolled his eyes and let out a deep breath. His knuckles were already turning white from holding onto the straps of the seat and they hadn't even taken off yet.
Bucky:
Bucky stared across the quinjet at the screen that Natasha was holding and tried to make out the words that the girl on the other side was speaking. When the noise finally died, a hum compared to the quinjet's engines, his eyes lifted up towards Natasha, but he kept them slightly downcast. "How's she holding up?" He didn't want to ask, but he had to. This is all your fault, he chastised himself. She's there because of you, being tortured because of you...
Cap:
Steve cast Natasha a worried look. "We'll be there soon," he said, trying to convince himself as much as the others. He was supposed to be the strong one, the one to hold the team together. But it was his old enemy - the red skull - and he felt like this was his fight, a fight that he'd dragged his friends into. He didn't want anyone else getting hurt because of a man who should have died a long time ago. His hands tapped anxiously on his seat as the quinjet took off, and he stared towards the windows beyond the pilots. Red Skull, your time is up - and by my hands.

Grey watched the amount of fuel creep upwards, and as soon as the tanks were full, he nudged the throttles back and drifted away from the Zephyr, then retracted the refueling probe. As he dropped back, he pushed down on the stick, then swung out from behind the massive black jet and pushed the throttles forwards, gently pulling back to climb to the best cruising altitude. He set the autopilot, then got up and wandered back to the cabin. He stood in the entrance to the cockpit, then crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and spoke. “Hey, guys, I have an idea for how we can get back out.”
”Let’s do Get Help.”
