**********************

As Agent 13 and the informant infiltrated the castle, Ian remained on guard, silently taking down any HYDRA soldier who crossed his path.

The sound of Ian's dagger-piercing flesh echoed as he swiftly eliminated another enemy.

* SPLURT *

With a quick flick of his wrist, he wiped the blade clean on his clothes and discarded the lifeless body.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rocked the castle, shaking the very ground beneath Ian's feet.

* BOOOOM *

Amidst the chaos, the sounds of panicked shouts and frantic footsteps echoed through the halls.

Ian quickly assessed the situation and saw a HYDRA vehicle parked in front of him. Moving swiftly, he searched the dead soldier's pockets and found a set of keys. With a quick turn of the ignition, the vehicle roared to life.

* VROOOM *

Ian arrived at the designated spot and stepped out of the vehicle as he kept the engine running. The sounds of explosions and gunshots were getting louder, echoing in his ears. With his assault rifle in hand, he cautiously made his way toward the castle.

* BOOM *

* BANG *

The gunfire was getting more intense, and Ian knew he had to act fast. Then, he saw two figures running out of the castle, Agent 13 and an old man who seemed to be Dr. Erskine. The scientist was clutching a briefcase and looked frightened. Ian aimed his rifle, scanning for any threats that might be chasing them.

* BANG *

Bullets whizzed past Ian's ears as he opened fire on the HYDRA soldiers who were pursuing Agent 13 and Dr. Erskine. He saw Agent 13 turn around and shoot back at their attackers, buying them some time to escape. Ian gestured for them to hurry toward him, and he kept shooting to keep the HYDRA soldiers at bay.

* BOOM *

Suddenly, Ian felt the ground shake beneath him, and his eyes widened as he saw a HYDRA soldier wearing an advanced exoskeleton charging toward Agent 13 and Dr. Erskine. Ian fired his rifle at the soldier, but the bullets seemed to not affect the metal suit.

Ian's mind raced as he continued to fire at the exoskeleton and HYDRA soldiers. 'How did Captain America destroy it?' he thought, trying to find a way to defeat the seemingly invincible machine. Suddenly, a memory struck him. 'The joints!' he realized. 'The exoskeleton armor had a fatal flaw in the joints!'

Ian quickly changed his aim and fired at the joints of the armor.

* BANG *

The HYDRA soldier operating the exoskeleton screamed in agony as his arms and legs were crushed due to the joint at the arm breaking and the joints at the knees causing the machine to fall to the ground.

"Go! Go! Go!", Agent 13 hurriedly helped Dr. Erskine climb the vehicle. With them in the back of the vehicle, Ian slammed on the accelerator as they made their escape from the HYDRA castle. The engine of the vehicle roared to life as they smashed through the gate, sending debris flying everywhere.

* VROOM *

* BANG *

But their escape was short-lived. Gunfire erupted from behind as HYDRA soldiers chased after them in motorcycles and vehicles.

* BANG *

* BOOM *

Ian could feel the heat from the bullets whizzing past them as Agent 13 returned fire from the back of the vehicle. The sound of gunfire mixed with the roar of the engine, creating a chaotic symphony of noise.

* BANG *

Suddenly, one of the motorcycles swerved off the road and crashed into a tree, the impact causing it to explode in a ball of flames. Another motorcycle lost control and flipped over as the driver was hit in the head.

* CRASH *

* BOOM *

The danger was far from over, but for now, they had managed to evade their pursuers.

Ian struggled to keep the vehicle steady as he swerved to avoid the debris and obstacles that littered the muddy road.

* THUD *

The sound of the vehicle hitting the rocks and broken pieces of wood echoed through the air. Meanwhile, the HYDRA soldiers pursued them again relentlessly, firing their weapons without any signs of slowing down.

Agent 13 reloaded her assault rifle and fired back, but the sheer number of enemies proved too much for her to handle alone.

* BANG *

"Aagh!", Ian's ears rang as the bullets whizzed past him. He felt a searing pain on his left cheek and realized he had been hit. He gritted his teeth and focused on the road, determined to keep the vehicle moving.

Despite the pain, Ian's anger boiled inside him. He screamed inwardly, cursing the HYDRA soldiers who attacked him 'Fucking pieces of shit!', he thought.

Ian's heart was pounding as he closed his eyes for a brief moment to compose himself. When he opened them again, he grabbed his assault rifle and aimed it at the left side. With his right hand on the wheel, he fired a single shot.

* BANG *

The bullet hit its target, piercing the head of the HYDRA soldier driving the motorcycle. The vehicle rolled over on the road.

* BOOM *

Two motorcycles behind it collided with the first one and exploded, killing all of the HYDRA soldiers on them.

Ian shifted his attention to the right side and ordered Dr. Erskine to keep his head down. With his left hand on the wheel, he fired two shots.

* BANG *

One of the bullets hit the driver of a vehicle, causing it to swerve and crash into a tree.

* BOOM *

The motorcycles following it couldn't avoid the wreckage and crashed into the vehicle, resulting in an explosion that killed all the HYDRA soldiers in the area.

The other bullet found its mark too, striking the driver of another vehicle following them. The vehicle rolled on the road and exploded.

Ian relentlessly kept firing his assault rifle without taking his eyes off the road, determined to keep himself and his companions safe. The sound of gunshots echoed through the forest, as he aimed and shot at the HYDRA vehicles chasing them. The number of vehicles following them began to decrease as Ian's sharpshooting skills started taking their toll on the enemy's morale.

As Ian continued to shoot while keeping his eyes fixed on the road, Agent 13 and Dr. Erskine stared at him with awe and curiosity. Dr. Erskine, who had just met Ian, was astounded by his exceptional marksmanship skills. He couldn't help but wonder how someone could shoot with such accuracy while driving a vehicle at high speeds. Meanwhile, Agent 13 was surprised to see Ian's extraordinary skills in action, despite having read about his past achievements in marksmanship. She couldn't help but wonder how he was doing it and how he had honed his skills to such a high level despite being a corporal.

His remarkable marksmanship was a result of his exceptional intelligence. It wasn't just about inventing or discovering something, it was about instantly processing thoughts and making calculations on the fly. Ian's mind worked like a well-oiled machine, analyzing and adapting to the situation as it unfolded.

He didn't need to look to know where the enemy was firing from. His exceptional intelligence allowed him to process information at lightning speed. He had calculated the frequency and velocity of the bullets, determined the type of weapon, and pinpointed the location of the shooter. Also, he determined the precise angle required to hit the enemy, all while still driving the vehicle.

Ian needed only one second to calculate all of it due to his intellect.

Ian pressed on the accelerator, gritting his teeth as he shot a few more rounds to keep the HYDRA soldiers at bay. The muddy road disappeared as they entered the dense forest, the trees surrounding them and casting eerie shadows on the ground. As they sped through the forest, Ian's eyes scanned the area, looking for any possible danger.

Finally, they reached their destination, and Ian brought the vehicle to a screeching halt. They quickly got out of the car, their eyes darting around for any signs of HYDRA. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupted, and the SSR agents emerged from their plane, firing at the HYDRA soldiers following them.

With adrenaline pumping through their veins, they rushed into the plane, scrambling to get aboard. The roar of the plane's engines filled their ears as it lifted off the ground, soaring high into the sky, leaving the HYDRA soldiers far behind.

Dr. Erskine let out a heavy sigh, his pain apparent on his face. The SSR agents quickly ushered him to another room, where they could attend to his wounds.

Agent 13 cautiously scanned the area and realized that she and Ian were alone. After a moment of hesitation, she summoned the courage to remove her mask, revealing her face. She anxiously searched for any hint of disappointment or disapproval from her partner, hoping he wouldn't judge her for her gender. She glanced at Ian, relieved to find that he seemed indifferent to her true identity.

Unbeknownst to her, Ian was bubbling with excitement inside, as he realized that his hunch was correct. 'It's Peggy Carter!' he thought to himself, as he looked at the elegant, brown-haired British agent.
