19. Shield Compromised

4 months later I get used to the new world. The encounter with The Winter Soldier had gone by. Helen Cho helped me with my hand and gave me 6 stiches the mark was still there but I was going away.

I walk with Steve back to his apartment, he just visited Peggy and he didn't have a ride home so I took him home. We walk past a woman on the phone, she has a Landry basket in her hands.

"That's so Sweet. That is so nice. Hey, I gotta to now. Okay. Bye, bye." She hangs up the phone and sends us a smile. "My aunt, she's kind of insomniac."

"Hey, if you want, you can use our machine. Might be cheaper then yours." Steve offers but the woman shakes her head.

"thank you but um.. I already have a load in down stairs, and, uh.. you really don't want my scrubs in your machine. I just finished my shift in the infectious diseases ward so" She is about to leave " Oh and I think you left your stereo on."

"Oh right thank you." Steve nods and we shared a looking. He hasn't used his stereo someone might have broken in. Steve goes threw the window and i walk threw the front door. In case of an intruder, We sneak into the living room. I almost flinch when i see Fury on a chair.

"Are you kidding me?" I say lowering my hand. "Do you want to get killed? Do that again and I wont hesitate. Also Since when did you have a key to Steve's apartment?"

"do you really think I needed one? My wife kicked me out." He tell us. I turn on the light noticing his injures. he shakes his head and motions for us to be quiet. I know that something is wrong.

"Didn't know you were married." Steve mumbles and Fury writes something down on his phone, showing us his phone. Ears everywhere.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." He writes something down on his phone again. SHIELD compromised. I stare at this message and Steve and I shared a look.

"Who else knows about your wife?" I ask quietly.

"Just... my friends." You and me. As fury got up He was shot, the window shattered open. he was shot three times. collapsing to the ground and blood spattered out of his chest. Crawling to fury I dragged him into the kitchen.

"Steve! follow the shooter your faster then me!" 

Steve nods and he grabs his Shield and jumps out the window and smashing into the next buildings window. I grab a towel and keep pressure on his wounds. He Grabs one of my hands and puts a flash drive. "Dont... trust.... anyone" He struggles to breathe.

The door bursts open and the woman I just saw was holding a gun "Miss Beckett?" I hear her voice. "Nicole, I'm agent I'm Agent 13 of Shields special service, I'm assigned to protect you." I hide the flash drive in my pocket.

She grabs a radio, contacting Shield. "ox trot is down, he is unresponsive. I need EMTs. Captain Rogers is in pursuit of shooter.

Everything goes so fast. Steve returns. The drive  in the ambulance. Fury being rushed to ER. I watch the operation threw a glass pane,  my hand covered in Fury's blood. Steve joins me.

"Tell me about the shooter."

"He's fast and strong, had a metal arm."

"Metal arm?" I raise an eyebrow and Steve nods. I remember The Winter Soldier, he had a metal, but I couldn't be him. Right?

Maria Hill enters the room.

'The Bullets were soviet made. Three lugs, no rifling and completely untraceable, combined with the metal arm I assume it the winter solider. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists. 

Fury's sate suddenly deteriorates, the doctors do there best to keep him alive, the serval attempts to revive him failed. "Time of death 1:03 am"

I walked out the door kicking the wall on the way out leaving a dent. Steve follows me.

"Nick are you alright?" He asks stopping me in my paths.

"We have to catch him, the winter soldier. We have to do it alone. Fury told me to not trust anyone. especially not Shield."

***

As i hope in the elevator, Rumlow stops the door closing and steps in "forensics" Rumlow order and the computer accepts.

"Um... I'm sorry about what happened to Fury. Messed up what happened to him." he says as more people enter the elevator. 

Steve nods. I notice an agent is sweating it not warm and there is air conditioning. the elevator is crowded may ten people inside. Me and Steve share a glance. We're trapped.

"Before we get started." Steve says glancing at me. "does anyone want to get off?" 

The guy in front of me starts his taser and tries to attack me I dodge him and use my powers to hit his head on the glass making him fall. Steve fights a bigger group of people trying to put his hand on the ceiling. two other men manged to get my hands on the ceiling. They grab there tasers and gab me with it. I let out a yell. I use my legs to knock them to the ground. Steve manages to grab his Shield and  take off the things on my hand, allowing me to move. I bash two guys head's together and Steve knock more people out.

"You okay." Steve asks.

I rub my rib cage were to tasers got me. "Yeah I'll be fine."

Steve pushes the button and the doors open a team of strike agent point their weapons at us. "Drop the shield! Put your hands in the air!" they warned us and Steve used his shield to cut the wires. I hold on the the bar and clench my teeth as we drop at full speed and my heart almost jumps out of my chest. 

The elevator halts to a stop. Steve opens the door with force. 
"Give it up Rogers and Beckett! Get that door open!! You have no where to go!"

Steve looks out the window then looks at me.

" Oh no, I'm good I'll die right now." I say stepping back.

"Too bad." Steve says as he grabs by waist. He puts his shield over us. "hold on tight." I grab him as he jumps out the window. Glass cuts my skin as we fall down at incredible speed, we smash into the glass ceiling and crash  as we hit the ground, I groan as I let go of Steve.
