Semper Fi Ch.7 (Captain America: TWS)

I am wearing a black sports bra and loose fitting khaki pants as I wait for the procedure to begin. Steve stands at the door of the lab, not looking at me, being polite I think, whereas Tony comments on how nice my tits look. I shoot him a filthy glare. Bruce sticks a needle in my arm and I assume it's penicillin.  I'd been given enough of those shots being in the Military. They didn't want to change any variables when it came to this experiment; Steve had gotten penicillin, I would too.
 "Are you ready Major?" Asks Bruce. I nod.

I want to leave the lab when I hear Diana scream. There is only one scream however. I should have known that the hard headed Diana wouldn't like to show her pain, which worried me and impressed me. I still turn away. Bruce comes to stand beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
 "She'll be fine. It worked for you. It will work for her." Bruce says. I nod. I look at the pod which Diana is in and immediately regret it. I remembered being baked by that bright light to 'stimulate muscle growth' and Diana was no different. She let out another cry of pain before falling silent again. And just like that, it was over. The pod opened and Diana stepped out. She had grown a few inches and was now even with my chin instead of with my chest, and her muscles were more defined and toned. She maintained her womanly curves, and Tony gave Diana a cat call  when he saw her.
 "Thank God you didn't turn into a muscley freak!" Tony exclaimed. Diana gave him a look full of mirth. She had a sheen of sweat on her skin and a tired look on her face.
 "How do you feel?" Bruce asked. Diana got to her feet, legs wobbly, and smirked.
 "Fantastic." She said. I chuckled, stealing another glance at her.
 "I think your uniform might need to be reworked." Tony said. He went about that quickly, tapping a few things on his glass contraption that sort of resembled the Iphone in my pocket.
 "Let's head down to the gym and see if you are fighting fit." Bruce said. Diana nodded her agreement. The serum had healed her wounds already, and she looked healthier. I followed.
 "Mind if I join you?" I ask. Diana shakes her head.
 "Not at all Steve." Diana says.

 "Let's do a jog on the treadmill. How long could you run before this?" Bruce asks. I think for a moment as he puts the heart monitor on me.
 "At top speed? Twenty minutes easy. Half an hour straining. At a jog, hell I could run for miles." I say. Bruce nods and sets the treadmill to ten. I am up to speed in seconds, my legs propelling me forward to match the moving ground beneath me. At the end of the half hour, I am not even sweating.
 "Amazing." Says Bruce. Steve nods in agreement. I lift weights, and find that the highest setting on the machines is not enough for me. I feel stronger and fit as a fiddle. Bruce clears me for duty and I thank him. He leaves Steve and I alone in the gym.
 "Diana," Steve says, "How do you feel?"
 "Tired. Hungry. Ready to fight." I reply. Steve nods and he returns to the punching bag. He looks distracted.
 "What's wrong?" I ask.
 "Have you seen the reports on the Winter Soldier?"
 "Yes," I say, nodding and leaning against the metal table in the gym.
 "Our Intel says that he might be where Braddock is being held. He's a part of HYDRA as far as we know."  
 "Are you worried he'll be there?" I wonder.
 "His real name is James Buchanan Barnes, and he used to be my best friend." Steve says sadly. The name is so familiar, and I have no idea why.
 "Why do I know that name?"
 "He's the only man on my team that I lost." The Captain says. I nod slowly, realization dawning. I knew his name because John and Clay had often spoken of a James Buchanan Barnes. They were related somehow. Through a sister or something.
 "But he's alive?"
 "And very, very confused. HYDRA brainwashed him. The Winter Soldier made an attempt on Fury's life and when I chased after him, he turned. I know those eyes, Diana. It's him. I think he remembers some things now, but not everything." Steve explains. He is worried, and with good reason. I would be worried too. Steve paces the gym, he is restless.
 "We need to bring James back." I say.
 "Bucky."
 "What?"
 "Bucky. Everyone called him Bucky." Steve says. I nod slowly, grab a datapad and open up the strategy app. I upload the map of the compound and I try to see which entrance would be best.
 "Braddock," I begin, "I imagine... will be held here. It's central, with one entrance and one exit. It would be easy to defend. I did a rescue at a similar compound in Afghanistan. It will be a heavily guarded door. I think that infiltrating their ranks would be the best course of action."
 "Allow me to assist you here." Tony says, grinning wickedly. "We just got our hands on some sweet new tech. I think you'll want to see it." Tony presents Steve and I with our new suits. Mine is similar to the one that got damaged, scaled up for my new body, and heavily armored over the vital organs. Steve's is very much like the antique Cap suit, but made of a heavy Kevlar material. It is dark, dark blue with white accents popping against the dark, and an almost burgundy red for the leather gloves, belt and boots. Tony places the glove of my suit against his shirt and my suit shimmers and changes appearance to look just like what Tony has on; a black shirt, jeans and Converse.
 "Oh my God." Steve and I say at the same time.
 "Cool huh? It lasts until you cancel it by voice command, and it doesn't actually change shape. The armor is still there, so you'll still be one hundred percent protected. Diana, we added more protection over your heart. Don't wanna end up like me." Tony says, tapping the Arc Reactor in his chest.
 "That is awesome, Tony. That will help a lot." Diana said honestly. "I would have killed for tech like this on this one mission..."
