Y/n stark

Chapter 17 - Mission

As my annoying alarm buzzed I knew it was time to get up, but I was just so comfy in bed. I looked over to the alarm as it displayed the time 5:00am. I reached over and turned it off as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I have an hour to get ready, plenty of time of a quick coffee. I thought to myself as I dragged my body to the kitchen. As I was pouring out my coffee I could feel that someone was behind me so I carefully reached down for the gun that was kept at the side of the fridge and turned around and pointed it at the mysterious figure that was lurking around.

"Please, don't shoot me" Steve said as he came into the light. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing it was only him.

"Trying to give me a heart attack before I leave?" I ask him

He laughs as he says "no, just going to train"

"Train? I question "it's five in the morning" I say quietly

"Yeah well early bird and all that" he whispers back

"But the second mouse gets the cheese" I quickly reply. I can see his face thinking about what I just said.

"Anyways" he says shaking his head, "be carefully out there today yeah?" He asks

"Don't know, I'll think about it but no promises like" I joke. As I scan Steve's body language I notice him becoming more tense and a worrying look in his eyes as he steps closer to me.

"I mean it y/n, be careful." He pleads

"And what if I'm not?" I tease as I step forward, closing the space between us so we are standing only a couple of centimetres apart.

"Then I won't get to do this again." He states. I look at him confused for a second then all of a sudden I feel his lips pressed against mine. I can't help but lean in for more. I feel his arms wrapped around my waist as he pulls me in more. My hands make it to the back of his neck. I feel his tongue on my lips trying to gain entry but I refuse until I feel his hand grab my ass. After what feels like forever I pull away.

"I have to go" I say before turning. As I walk away he grabs my hand and pulls me back

"Promise me you will be safe out there?" He whispers in my hear as he holds my wrist tight.

"I'll try my best" I reply before walking back up to my room. I look at the time and it displays 5:40. I quickly grab my bag and throw everything I need into it. All my guns, amo, bombs, while I slip into my suit.

"So I don't need to tell you that we all only have one objective, get in, set this hydra base to blow, and get out before it does. Everyone understand?" Grant states to the swat team and myself as we are gathered in the jet, to which he gets a few mumble of yeah's and  understand's in reply. "Okay, we land in 5, get your shit together" he adds as everyone turns to get walk away.

As I make sure my guns are all ready to go and I have enough bullets, I hear someone calling my name.

"Hey" Grant states.

"Hey" I reply in a confused tone. This guy does knows we're about to be attacked by hydra in less than 2 minutes right?

"So I saw your interview thing, it took guts to stand up and speak out, you should be proud of yourself." He says as he checks his guns himself.

"Thanks" I reply.

Not a second later the jet had landed and were making our way inside the base, fighting off the hyrda soldiers that clearly knew we where coming. It was an ambush. There was too many of them compared to us. I had made my way to the centre of the base where I was fixing the bomb, making sure it was already to go.

"We have 2 minutes until the bomb explodes" I shout into the coms. But no one seems to reply.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Got it" I hear from the coms, along with some static crackly noise.

As I make my way back down through the dirty concentre hallways I'm met by a hyrda agent. Just my luck. "You should know, I was the one who pulled the trigger 6 years ago" he laughs I feel my body freeze for a second before he charges at me at full speed as I run towards him too. He hits me a dig in the left ribs that's going to hurt later. As I punch him in the jaw. I quickly plant my left hand on his right forearm as I spin around him and plant my right arm over his right arm. I move with the adrenaline and twist my legs around his neck and let gravity do the work. I do a forward roll out and back to my feet and run off. "Looks like I'm the one pulling the trigger now!" I say as I shoot him twice, once in the shoulder and once in the stomach I run as fast as I can to get out of the base before it explodes. As if on queue, as soon as I get out of the base the base exploded sending my flying towards the jet.

"Come on, get up," I hear. I look up too Grant and some other shield members pulling me into the jet. I sit in silence the the whole way home, I feel a sense of relief as it feels like I finally got justice for Josh.

~~~~~~

As we arrive back at the SHEILD HQ, I can feel my ribs starting to hurt now. I grab my side as I lift my bag over the other shoulder and walk out of the jet.

"I've got it." Grant says as he lifts my bag for me. I can feel his eyes looking at my hand which is holding my left side. "Let's go get that checked out" he says

We make our way down to the Medbay. I look in a mirror and I see my face is all cuts and somehow I have a black eye. No idea how that happened. After getting checked out I'm told it's just a couple of bruised ribs and to just rest before the mission next week, I'll be fine though.

~~~~~

An hour later I finally get back home it's dark and cold, just like it normal would be in the autumn months. I step inside the elevator and hit 15, the floor my room is on, for now. I quickly jump into the shower and wash my hair which I then throw up into a messy bun, and climb into bed.
