The teenagers had been really grateful to Steve and Bucky before that moment, Bucky had pulled them out of a half collapsed building and kept them safe from various looters before they reached the subway entrance, but they just wanted to be rescued and so they kept calling out to the soldiers.

Bucky didn't move, his entire body tense. The soldiers surrounding their area took point with guns out too, now that they'd found a potential hostile, at least seven military men and women all with high powered handguns trained on the subway entrance.

"Come out with your hands on your heads, do it now!"

"They're not-- they're not our extraction. They're here to catch us."

"I said get out here right now!"

One of the teenagers, a fifteen year old girl called Sandy who had bonded with Steve over asthma, suddenly made a break for the entrance to try and run to safety.
