"No, I'm..." Steve hesitated. "I'm not technically deployed in active service, and I was only here for a show. I found out Bucky was captured and I came out here on my own so no one else would get hurt if I failed."
He paused to be sure of his footing as the building shook again. "We've got to get out of here." He turned a corner, and there was the Red Skull.
Johann Schmidt didn't acknowledge Brock any more than he had done with Bucky under normal circumstances, but there was a slight flicker to the eyes, a note of suspicion. It was too late to capture Captain America - but he was trusting this strange HYDRA agent to complete his mission before the Captain could, and that trust came uneasily to Schmidt.
Still, after some bantering, Schmidt left them to their fates. Maybe they would die in the explosions.
Steve sent Brock out onto the rickety bridge first. "Go, go. I'll follow you."
