[Continued from here]

Right. Just don't bring Sam, I really don't need him to remind me he saved my ass like a damsel in distress again.

[Truthfully, he doesn't mind if the new Cap is coming too, if it means getting out of this place, but he needs to spend his frustration on something, and Sam is an easy target, no matter how much he likes the man.

While he waits for Nat to figure out where he is, Bucky looks around with the light of his phone, trying to figure out how to get out of this place.]

Looks like I'm a silo of some kind? The walls have no corners. Think there might be a hatch on the ceiling, but I can't really make it out this high.

[It helps, to try and be proactive and focus on what could help Nat find him, because he can't let himself panic. He hasn't felt this trap since Berlin, when Zemo had started to say his code words.]

[Bringing another person was the last thought on her mind. Natasha didn't need help to rescue anyone, least of all James. Hacking into the system, she fights her way through the normal security, and then through all the layered encryption. There's no small amount of cursing she issues when the newest firewalls fight against her older program.

It still gets her through. She's going to have to remember to get in touch with someone and update her software. Getting in touch with the other members locations, even when they are supposed to be hidden can mean the difference between life and death.

Nowhere Arkansas is not where she expected him, but the jet still makes it in an hour and change. He was right. There's a grain field around him, but there's also some other things that make it seem a little suspect. Wiring and redlights tip Natasha off to larger security on the property. ]

Hey, James. Can you hear me. I'm here, but I gotta take care of some stuff out here before I can spring you. I think this was meant to blow, or do... something if someone tried to get too close. You must have been onto something. Take a few more deep breaths and I'll have us back home in two shakes.

[An hour and some change feels like an eternity to Bucky. He uses his cell phone seldomly, wanting to preserve the battery as much as he can, in case Nat tries to contact him for more info. Instead, he paces in a circle, feeling the walls with his human hand, sometimes knocking on the metal with his vibranium one, trying to get a feel of the thickness of the metal trapping him there. There's something strange when he taps on it, feeling as if the echo isn't echoing as it should, and it's what's been keeping him from trying to truly punch his way out.

When he hears Nat from the outside, he can't help but let out a sigh of relief. He knocks on the wall so she knows exactly where he is in the silo:]

Hey Nat. I can hear you. [He frowns when she mentions the explosives:] I guess it's a good thing then that I didn't punch my way out.

[There's a huffy chuckle that escapes his lips, even as he thinks of the few cases him and Sam have been on lately:]

You mean this is not the result of my wonderful and charming personality?

[He'll have to check with Cap about this, because they've been rattling a lot of terrorists' cages lately, and he wants to make sure Sam knows to keep his guards up. And to look after Sarah and the boys.

He's feeling less panicky now that Natasha is there, and maybe he does breathe a little bit easier: he knows she'll be able to let him out quickly.]

Thanks. Be careful.

[More time passes, but Natasha assures him as often as she can while she fixes the cameras and makes sure that no one will be alerted when she lasers him out. There's also the few not so small land mines placed in concentric circles around the silo. With a warning to Barnes, Nat blows them from a distance. ]

Who the hell did you piss off with your charming personality. I'd expect this as my welcoming present, but wow, you've done well for yourself, gorgeous.

[Knowing that this has him shaken, she tries for a lighthearted flirt as she brings out the machine that will finally free him from captivity. ]

Only a few more minutes now. Stand back when you see the glow. I don't need you deep fried. I doubt you'll taste good that way, and I happen to already be addicted to what I know.

[They may have only started something, but it was more than enough to whet her appetite. James is not a person to be given up lightly. Natasha doesn't date. She has work, and occasionally used her body for that, and was very good at it, but this is far different. He's a close friend and no matter what, she's going to treasure that above all else.

Once she's got a small door carved, she knocks on the silo knowing that he can knock out the metal frame now that it's completely burned through.]

It's all you now.

[The silo trembles lightly when she blows the land mines and Bucky can't help but to frown as he flexes his metal hand a few times. These are serious measures to make sure he can't get out, or be extracted easily. He's pretty sure this whole setup has been planned as a trap for anyone coming to rescue him. Whoever managed to kidnap him did leave him with his phone, meaning that they expected him to call for help. He wonders for a moment if this was meant for Sam, seeing as the landmines were probably placed to explode when he'd landed to help him out. The whole thing pisses him off to no end, but luckily, Nat's playful flirting breaks through his anger, and while he works at pushing down the thoughts that growing closer to her might put her in even more danger, her words still manage to make him smile:]

What can I say? I tend to leave an impression on people.

[It's a good thing that he's in the dark and that she can't see him, because that definitely brings heat to his cheeks, and he laughs lightly:]

All right, I promise not to let myself get barbecued. Not that it would change anything.

[He'd heal fairly quickly anyway. But still, he moves aside as Nat lasers a door for him, and once she calls him out for it, James reels back with his left arm, and punches the opening with more force than necessary, spending out some of that frustration. Vibranium hits against metal and the carved piece is thrown back almost a hundred feet before Bucky emerges from the silo, his human hand coming up to shield his eyes from the harsh light outside.

Once his eyes get accustomed, he drops his hand and looks at Natasha with a warm smile, the scent of fresh air already helping him to calm down:]

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes, doll.

[All James wants is to pull her into his arms, but he stops himself, not trusting that are not watched by whoever set the whole thing up.]

We should get out of here, I wouldn't be surprised if people were coming for me.

[There's no small amount of worry that runs through Natasha's mind as she goes through the process of freeing James from the Silo. It's a whole lot of trouble that he's rolled himself up in, and someone really wanted him to stay there. Not only that, they were counting on his rescue team being pretty smug and not too careful. They were not counting on Natasha. She's riled up more than a little by the time that piece of metal comes flying out.

Nat's off to the side as the piece gets blown out into the haystacks. Taking her time she comes into view to meet his smile with hers. It only grows when she hears his relaxing tone of voice. It's no longer tight and pinched. Her shoulders drop about ten degrees and she can feel her breathing start to regulate again.

There might be people checking up on the joint, and Nat knows they don't have a long time, but she takes a step forward to pat him on the chest. It takes touch to make sure he's all in one piece. ]

You're a sight for mine alright. Good thing to see you in one piece. See that arm of yours still doing all the good it can.

[Nat reaches down and takes his gloved hand in hers and tugs at it so that she can bring him over to the plane. Once they get up in the air they'll have a few seconds to talk and maybe find out what's been happening and who might have the means to set up something so advanced to take out Bucky.]
