Taking A Break (No They Aren’t)

Not sure if i will come back and change the path this plot has taken, buuuut we'll see how y'all like it.....

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

During the night, a few military jeeps drove in slowly and smoothly.

At this time most are asleep and resting for tomorrow, but there are still soldiers that are awake and on guard.

The reason the vehicles came in smoothly was because the Captain America was the one on the front jeep.

One of the vehicles drove straight to the barracks, while everyone was going to report their small mission.

The men on this mission were the Wardogs and Commandos, and their assignment was a rescue mission.

The rescue of Captain Alfred McBride.

No one knew anything of it since Alfie's status wasn't made aware publicly, so it was a secret mission for the two groups.

And as they were planning to all head to the commander in charge to report him of the successful mission, Alfie who was only wearing pants and dried blood on his told Bucky who was the driver to head straight for his resting place.

Alfie soon got out ready to head in when the three bombarded him with questions.

"How are you still okay? How could you survive a fall that deep?" Steve asked.

"That's your first question?"

"No, my first question was "Are you alright?", now I'm asking how surviving a fall like that is possible?" Steve continued adamant on his question.

"My first question was why was he inside a dead bear?" Bucky asked.

When they found Alfie, he was inside a small cave, what they saw was Alfie inside a bear bathing in its warm blood.

It was a bit disturbing to say the least, but before they can say or ask anything Alfie already rushed them to hurry back.

"Well the inside of the bear was warm with it's blood and I was cold, the cold was getting to me so God sent a bear my way, I had to improvise." Alfie said as he got inside his small tent soon telling a recruit to bring a few big buckets of water.

"You had a fire in that cave…" Bucky said.

"Yes yes I know, but the warm blood substituted for a warm shower, hehe, oh I don't sound sane…" Alfie said.

"Anyways, I was lucky enough to fall on deep snow, getting out was harder than falling in." Alfie said as he started taking off his clothes not worried one bit about the three inside the tent as well.

"Sorry, we thought you were…"

"I know Steve, I know, stop beating yourselves over it, but thank you for coming and hearing my calls, I wouldn't have made it far if it wasn't for that."

"It was all James, even if we didn't hear the call coincidentally he would have still headed to the mountains to look for you." Steve said as they all looked at James who just avoided their looks and growled.

"Aww, I didn't know you cared so much James." Alfie teased, but James didn't get embarrassed or anything.

"I don't, I just knew you wouldn't die so easily." James said.

"Well thank you anyways."

A few soldiers came in with buckets of water for Alfie to wash himself in.

The others walked out to let Alfie take care of his needs and all.

Bucky and James went out to look for something to do as Steve went to report as the officer in charge of the small rescue mission.

An hour and some later, Steve came back to see a relaxed Alfie.

They spent the night with Steve asking about many of the things he was curious about, and many more things.

One of the things he asked about was the ninjas in the train, and about this woman who sent them, who Alfie seemed to have an intimate relationship with some time ago.

And so excluding magic, Alfie told him as much as he could, though he didn't bring up things Steve didn't ask for.

••••••

Two days later in the morning….

Alfie and James prepared to have some break in the city.

The day before Alfie came to talk to the recently captured Head Scientist Zola, and he tried to play bad cop but he went overboard so he was kicked out and wasn't allowed to go anywhere near Zola or the interrogation rooms again.

Zola was slowly talking, though baby-steps, which was why Alfie went overboard.

So the Colonel told most of the men to take some rest as they got information of the Red-Skulls' whereabouts from Zola.

Which brings the two for a walk and more.

"What are we actually gonna do?" James asked, thinking there might be more.

"Eat a lot, drink and get drunk, maybe find a woman to have some fun with, then get drunk again." Alfie said.

That was the plan, but One-Above-All had different plans for the two.

"I like this plan." James said with a wide smile.

"Right?! HAHAHA, come on Jamesy, let's go cause havoc on this little country." Alfie said as he led the way.

The two weren't dressed with their military uniform, James had brown pants, boots with some shirt and a black overcoat on him.

Alfie had dress shoes, black pants, black suit shirt and a grey vest on while on his hand was a cane.

"What's with the cane?" James asked.

"Hush, let me enjoy myself Sergeant, I wanna feel classy today." Alfie said.

As the two walked out of the base they greeted a few soldiers saluting to them before they called for a taxi and headed for downtown.

Alfie would have invited Steve, Bucky or even Rolo and Jon but they had their own things to do...mostly.

And their first stop was an expensive restaurant, that was the plan but realizing how little and "fancy" their food was, the two left and went for a more common restaurant.

One that actually serves full meat to eat and some alcohol.

The two took their time there having more than a normal amount of plates served to them, there were also a few that recognized them including and mostly kids.

So they signed a few things for their fans before they paid and burped walking out of the restaurant.

As they roamed around the city they noticed some scent and presence following them, though they didn't do anything since they didn't, it was also daytime so the chances of something happening was low.

After some time they entered a bar called "Harry's Bar".

It was something simple, they sat on stools and ordered two fizzling mugs with hard alcohol on the side.

The two spent some time drinking and talking about their younger days until a man with big built here and there walked up to the two.

"Hello, you are not from around here are you?" The big man said with some accent.

"No, what gave it away?" Alfie played along.

"Your accents, hehe."

"Well no, we are not, how may I be of help, interrupter?"

"You look like you have some pretty pennies on you, how about we have a drinking contest?" The man asked.

Alfie raised an eyebrow and looked back at James with a maniac smile that the man didn't see.

"Has anyone ever come up to you and asked such things, James?"

"No, this is a first." James said with a bit of amusement.

They've had some contests between their men at times but no stranger ever really came and asked, with a bet on it as well.

"Very well, let us begin."

Alfie walked and sat on a squared table as the big man sat on the other side.

"So, you say there is a bet? How much?" Alfie asked.

"Hehe $5." The man said excitedly.

"Five d-?!" Alfie almost yelled out.

'Oh right...forgot I was in the mid-1900's' Alfie thought.

"What? Is that too much for you? Hahaha, it's just the starting bet, wanna back down?" The man asked.

"No no, definitely not, I was just...glad you are a man with money as well." Alfie said, he was glad he didn't say what he had in mind.

Because he had the thought of betting at least $40 dollars on it, and a dollar right now was like $20 back in the modern days more or less.

"But I've been drinking up there for a while now, don't you think it's a bit unfair?" Alfie said with a smile.

"Haha, now worries, I started drinking before you even walked in, I was just watching you for a while." The man said.

"I see, you're confident...so how does it go?" Alfie asked.

The man replied with mugs, and with every mug they will drink shots after.

The big man seemed to have fans, or friends which were grouped up behind him cheering him on to outdrink the rich bastard.

Rich bastard meaning Alfie, most likely because of the way he fancily dressed.

It started and the first mug was downed easily, though slowly, they then took a shot, another easy one.

James sat in the counter and looked out to the table as he already drank more than someone should be able to handle.

The bartender would have stopped giving him drinks long ago but James looked fine, but the man behind the counter eyed James in case he does need to stop it.

As the other two drank nonstop, Alfie wondered how strong ones immunity system have to be to be able to still keep up with him, and the big guy seems like a normal human too.

"Hahahaha I admit friend, you can hold your liquor, I've never had anyone able to keep up wi- *burp*...with me, you're a real mann!!"

"Don't get too happy big guy, I'm here for a few bucks, I'm not here to make friends." Alfie said, but his words seemed to have gone to deaf ears.

"Hahahahahaha, I am called Luca, and you are?"

"McBride."

"McBride? Hahahaha like Bride?!"

The big guy seemed to be friendly the more he drinks, and so Alfie got a bit curious, can he break this friendly guys drunk personality right now?

•••••••••

In an alley in Italy, a group of 6 people appeared out of nowhere.

Under them was a circular metal tech with blue lights lighting up here and there.

"Urgghkkk!! I'm never gonna get used to that." One of them kneeled and started yakking.

"We won't need to do it again if we just get the bastard right now." A black bald man with a big build said as he tried not to throw up as well.

"Well what now? We've tracked the guy here but we still can't find him, he has to be in hiding now waiting for the right time."

"We have to split up,because he doesn't have just one but two targets, and if we don't hurry then he will really mess things up in this timeline." A young woman with brown skin said, she seemed to have a leader air around her.

"Well we know that, but where do we look for them? For all we know they aren't even in Italy during this time…"

"That's where Fitz comes in, he'll do his thing and track the two, if anything we can sneak in disguise and find out their whereabouts, keep in comms and don't…" The black man said as he was the leader.

They made their way onto the streets before heading particularly nowhere, needing a place to sit down and get more deeper into their plans they tried to walk in a bar.

But-

*Crush*

*CRASH*!!!

The group couldn't make it far to the bar door when two men were thrown out of the door breaking it, and in front of the group, a man considered a living legend walked out with a cigar in his mouth.

This man was the reason there were two men thrown out breaking the wooden and glass door.

"That just pisses me off, Bub." James said as he walked up and stomped his foot on one of the two still conscious, knocking him out.

James then got low and patted the two before taking out a small case that contained cigarettes.

Not long two more bodies were thrown out of the bars window, both men already unconscious, another minute the man named Lucas was thrown out as well with a bloody face.

James looked back into the bar and spoke.

"You just had to provoke him, didn't you?" James growled out.

"I was just testing what kind of person he was, he looked kind and nice man but he was just a buffoon, he liked calling himself a man but likes to hit women for the reason of being dominant...plus he was big and looked like a good fighter, he provoked me first." Alfie walked out with his cane as he patted himself down.

"We have to go before we get caught, Colonel would get our ass for causing trouble during our break." James said.

Alfie came down on Lucas and took the money he owed from the small contest previously, but he caught James gaze at him.

"What? It's what he owes me, hehehehe and can you believe he was nice enough for a few drinks?" Alfie said, ignoring James' look.

Alfie then looked back to one of the bar's workers and told them that the man Lucas will pay for the damages, and the two started to walk when they paused.

The whole thing was caught by the eye of the 6 newcomers.

The 6 knew about these two, about most of their life, but for some reason the two seemed to also pause and glare at the 6 of them as well.

James bend his whole body low ready to punce, his hands clenched and ready to sheath his claws while Alfie had a millisecond of surprise before just staring at the group.

To James he had almost peak superhuman senses, his nose had the highest senses and he could tell these people are different, not only because of some weird smells he was getting but because they had a new smell that people don't have in the current time, it was a future modern smell.

And for Alfie? He saw Phil Coulson, Agent Coulson, Nick Fury's right hand man.

But everyone else he doesn't recognize, though one face seems familiar.

"McBride…" James lowly growled out, not taking his eyes off the group.

"I'm guessing you sense it too James? Yeah, these people don't belong here…" Alfie replied back.

The conversation between the two shocked the group even more, because they didn't think the two would be this intuitive.
