OOM: near the Baltic Sea, 1944

The good news is, there are no snow drifts here and the snow is thin on the ground enough that Captain America and the Howling Commandos barely leave footprints.

The bad news is, while it's still snowy, the air is warming as winter creeps to its end. Warm air and cold air colliding means mist; mist means low visibility; low visibility means extra caution and slowing their advancement to the next HYDRA factory.

Steve leads the way, every footstep careful, as he represses the urge to shiver. He's not going to lose his cool because of a little fog.

He hopes.

He doesn't like the terrain.

It's flat, it's filled with trees, the mist is thickening and as it does his distance sight's going to hell even more, which means as a sniper he can't do his job, can't spot anything hunting them, can't see it coming, can't--

Get a grip, Barnes!



Bucky grits his teeth, audibly, and moves a little quicker.
