[Ohio AU] the heart of winter

Coulson had been called away on something for Fury before they'd gotten more than halfway to wherever his locker is and the set of trading cards stored within it. Without anything else to do, Bucky makes his way back to the quarters he's been given. It's either that or explore the rest of the helicarrier on his own, and that seems like something that can wait safely enough.

He swings by the mess on the way back. As he'd suspected, it's not placed too far distant from what serves as a commissary on this boat. He requisitions a couple of notebooks, a couple of pencils and pens and takes it all with him.

Might as well start with a report on the other Soldiers, he decides. That's likely to be more important in the immediate future than anything else.

Sharon laughs, putting the cap back on her bottle of water and massaging the spot on her thigh where she'd inserted the needle. This stuff works fast, thankfully.

"Not impressed, huh? Not even by the god of thunder?"

"This one definitely did," Clint grumbles, as Nat gives him an amused, indulgent glance and shakes her head.

Sharon smiles, then looks over at the tracking display. "Forty minutes to landing," she says. "Everybody go do whatever you need to do to get ready."

"Just remember, you're the buyer," she tells him. "And we're here on Karpov's recommendation."

She nods to Bucky. "And Bucky will be acting as though you're his Command."

"Noted," Coulson says, in a way that makes Sharon think he doesn't plan on giving Bucky any orders at all if he can manage without. She catches the glance Clint slants Nat's way, and can almost hear Tony's teeth grinding from here, but they can't address it right now. There's nothing they can do about the programming in the next half hour.

"All eyes are going to be on you," she tells Coulson, instead. "With any luck, they'll barely notice me, and they should be used to the Winter Soldier. So you're the one who's going to be getting us deeper into the facility."

"Do you think any of the Soldiers can think cohesively enough to unfreeze the others?" she asks him, thinking through what she can.

"Would they be able to assess the situation well enough the determine whether they needed backup?"

"That's what it sounded like to me, too," Sharon agrees. "But on the off chance whichever one gets defrosted wakes up with some critical thinking skills, we'll need to be ready for it."

She looks over at Bucky, frowning slightly. "What is your signal for Tony and the others?"
from_the_outside: (this debutante don't dance)

Her frown furrows a little further before she shakes her head. "If you wanted a rocket launcher, you should have told me before we left the helicarrier. I could have requisitioned one."
from_the_outside: (not doing a damn thing you say)

He probably will, at that. She shakes her head and presses on. "What if we aren't anywhere near the button for the silo opening?"

It's still possible, especially if she and Coulson get caught against the opposite wall and Bucky has to chose between hitting the button and protecting them.

She doesn't bring it up. If he hasn't already considered it, then they'll make that call in the moment. "Fine."

Sharon looks over at Tony, pacing off to the side. "Remember you'll be bringing in Agents Romanoff and Barton, Stark. You can't just burn in like a missile."

"If the Soldiers break loose, we'll need all hands on deck fast," she reminds Stark. "But you have a point. Nat, you split off and make your own approach. You can clear us a secondary exit in case we get penned in, and collect whatever intel you can on the way. Barton will go with Stark."

"That's plan Z," Sharon tells him, as Barton gives him an arched-eyebrows look and goes back to sorting through his arrows, sliding them one by one into the quiver. "If we have to distract them, let's try doing it with something else."

Nat is very carefully showing no expression through this litany, but she notices Clint removing a few of the arrows from his quiver and replacing them with new ones.

"Concussive force I can do," Tony says. "Electroshock too, if a few other things are in place."

"Good," Sharon says. "And, Tony, you may be on the hook for getting Bucky out." With that arm, he's too heavy for any of the rest of them to carry.

She exchanges a glance with Nat, then gets up and opens a mirror in one of the lockers, touching up Irma's perfect red lipstick and wiping away a smudge of eyeliner beneath one eye. "Okay," she says, closing the locker door and wishing she were able to arm herself better.

She reaches for the warm coat she'll be wearing and nods to Coulson to get himself ready, too, as Nat goes to set the Quinjet down. "Everybody know what they're doing? Time to go."
