Thea Roger's POV

"Is she out?" I hear Alexander Pierce's annoying ass voice.

"Yes sir. I believe so," I hear a voice right next to me.

I open my eyes, jump from my chair, punching the dumbass doctor next to me. Multiple guns are pointed at me and I roll my eyes, sitting back down, "Calm your tits. I was just stretching."

"Oh Datura. Always trouble," Alexander signals for the numbskulls to put their guns down. I swear their nothing more than just dumb hunks. No brains or shit.

I fold my arms, "That's me. So, what year is it?"

"2017."

"Damn. 12 years? That's a record."

Pierce ignores my comment, "Your mission is to kill Captain America."

He pulls up a picture of a man in a blue, red and white suit. I recognized the face but I couldn't place it. Whatever, probably tried to kill him on an older mission or something.

"Didn't he die in like '42? Can't exactly kill a ghost, dipshit."

"No. He crashed into ice. Recent intel shows that he's alive. Not to mention that he took our best assassin."

I raise a brow and Pierce sighs, "Second best."

"Mhm. Okay. When do I go?" I shift in my seat, showing he has my attention.

He walks away and comes back with a box, "You will be going to New York, America. This is your suit. Same as usual. There is a large skyscraper there called the STARK tower. The super soldier will be there, but he will have backup. Superhuman backup. I suggest you attack them in a covert manner."

I nod in understanding, "Got it. I'll go tomorrow."

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

Damn this place is big.

I pick the lock and enter the tower. I see a man with, a glowy chest? This was the future? Damn, robots. Nice. Looked very real too.

I duck behind a table as he passes and continue to move.

I watch the robot dude exit the building and I move into the elevator. I see an option saying "training". That sounds like a place where a super soldier would be.

I hear the elevator ding as the metal doors open, revealing a gym. I see two men, one with a metal arm and the man from the photo. Jackpot. I recognized both of them from somewhere I swear. Like I said before, probably an old mission.

"Hey boys," I get their attention.

My target looks at me, "Thea? Is that you?"

He starts to run at me and I grab my knife out, I cut his bicep and he holds it. I kick him backwards, "I'm Datura. I don't know who the hell Thea is but I'm only here to kill your ass. Promise."

"Thea? What are you-?" the other guy, metal arm, walks over to me and I throw my other knife at him. He dodges it, "Okay. We're doing this now."

He runs at me and attempts to punch me in the face. I move from the metal fist and punch him in the gut, he stumbles a step backwards and the other one, meh, Popsicle, yeah. Popsicle lunges at me, pinning me to the ground, "Stop Thea. Stop."

"I'm not Thea."

I wrap my hands around his throat and squeeze as hard as possible. I use my momentum and lift myself up, so now I was pinning him down. He grabs my arms and pushes me off. He coughs, trying to catch his breath and Metal Arm once again runs at me and I crouch down, swinging leg under his and making him fall. I jump on him and repeatedly punch his face until his nose starts to bleed and he's knocked out. I move my attention to Popsicle again, who was talking into a comm, "I need backup on the training floor NOW."

Shit. This was the backup that Pierce told me about. The superhuman one. I run my throat and jump out the window, some small shards penetrating my skin. My hand catches the top of the next building, and I lift myself onto its roof.

"Thea!" I look back and see Popsicle staring through the broken window.

I watch him run back and then out the window, landing next to me. I grab my gun and shoot it at him multiple times. He ducks and throws his shield at me. I move aside and it clatters next to me. I grab it and hit him his stomach with it, causing him to hunch over for a moment. I take this opportunity to point the gun at his face, ready to complete my mission.

He grabs my free wrist, "Thea please. No."

I look at him for a moment. I swear I could recognize him and it wasn't from a mission...

I look up and see a large red robot thingie flying at us. Fuck. I immediately pull the trigger, but nothing but an empty click comes out. Double fuck. I conk him over the head once and run away.

Pierce was not going to like this.
