𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐒 - 𝐍. 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐅𝐅

01 - 03

They pulled away from the camp, the only place that had been ruined was the secret bunker and the car wasn't destroyed. As they drove back to DC she just thought about what had happened that day. The images on the screen. Johann Schmidt making a speech and people raising their arms saying 'Heil HYDRA'. Captain America attacking the base. Howard Stark and Maria Stark's death. Arnim Zola's S.H.E.I.L.D card. Newspaper reading 'German scientists recruited by S.H.E.I.L.D. Protests. Bombings. Nick Fury's file with a giant red 'DESEACESED' stamped across the photos. Satellites being launched to track everyone's every movement. Security cameras within paces of each other. Pictures of Captain America on magazines. On newspapers. He mind was swarming with information. If she knew HYDRA was growing in S.H.E.I.L.D she would have left, maybe told someone.

She opened her eyes, watching the trees turn into vast fields and vast fields into cities. Once they arrived in DC Jayden leant forward in her seat, Natasha and Steve were in the front and Jayden was sitting in the back once again.

"Steve, where are we going?" She asked out of curiosity.

"A friends." He simply answered, his eyes still focusing on the road even if it was six in the morning.

"How do we know he's not HYDRA?" She didn't want to trust anyone, even if she was HYDRA herself.

"We don't but if he tries shooting, he's HYDRA." He replied. He didn't know himself but it was true. From now on, if they shoot they're HYDRA.

Jayden leant back in her seat and watched the birds flying around. She placed her hand on the seat next to her when she noticed it starting to face in and out. She cursed under her breath and reached in her pocket for her pills which she had secretly brought. Jayden placed a pill in her mouth and she then took her Homicidal Insaneness one in case she suddenly started attacking them. She rested her head against the seat and waited until she got told they were there.

"We're here." Steve demanded a minute later, he had parked the car and started climbing out. Once Natasha had got out she opened Jayden's door and waited for her to get out before she followed Steve up the steps to one of the houses. They stood behind him as he knocked the door. The wooden blinds rolled up, revealing an African-American man who looked as though he would be in his late 30s. He pulled the glass door open and looked at Steve who was covered in soot.

"Hey man," The guy spoke, probably expecting an explanation of why he was covered in soot. Jayden grabbed her arm which started throbbing with pain but acted like nothing was a problem.

"I'm sorry about this. We need a place to lay low," Steve explained, "Jayden, Sam." He pointed at them both and Jayden gave a small nod as if to say 'hi'.

"Everyone we know is trying to kill us," Natasha added after Steve had introduced them both. Sam looked at them for a moment before answering.

"Not everyone." He stood to the side letting the three of them head inside. Jayden winced in pain as Sam pointed out two bathrooms. Jayden walked through the small living room which was joined onto the kitchen and found one of two bathrooms. She walked inside and when she shut the door she realised there was no lock but she didn't mind, hopefully no one would walk in. She had taken of her leather jacket in the car before leaving for New Jersey and never put it back on. Instead she just wrapped her arms around her.

Her t-shirt had been ripped when she jumped inside the whole and it had cut into her skin slightly, making the once white shit now a mix of red and grey. She pulled her t-shirt of and grabbed a tissue to wipe away some of the blood from her arm. The door latch clicked open as Natasha walked in. Jayden was going to hold her top against her but instead left it in a heap in the sink and leant against the sink.

"You alright?" Natasha asked. She had placed her hand on Jayden's who darted her eyes up to Natasha's face.

"Yeah. I will be," Jayden smiled weakly. Natasha damped a tissue and placed it on the wound gently.

"Did you know you cut your lip?"

"What?" Jayden looked into the mirror to see a minor cut on her bottom lip to the right and she placed her finger where the blood was trickling out slowly.

"Here," Natasha removed Jayden's hand and wiped away some of the blood. Her hand slowly moved to Jayden's neck and pulled Jayden towards her, kissing her lips softly. Her other hand briefly held onto Jayden's hip. They separated after a moment and laughed nervously. Jayden bit her lip softly, she did it every time anything like this happened.

Natasha walked out and grabbed a shirt that Sam allowed them to use and came back in, passing a plain black t-shirt to her. Jayden pulled it over her head and followed Natasha out to the living room where Steve was already sitting on one of the chairs.

"I never got your surname..." He commented when Jayden had sat down.

"It's because I don't know it...I have been growing up in this facility my whole life. I don't know anything really. In a way I think I was born there..."

"Where's the facility?" Natasha asked, "we could use it to help us take them down. Properly."

"I don't know, I've only travelled from there twice and I was asleep one of the times and the other time I was creating a disguise so I wasn't paying attention." It was true. All she knew was it's in the middle of nowhere.

"Who owns the facility? Any big teams?"

"Yes. Two that are joined at the hip." The other two looked at her.

"HYDRA and STRIKE."

"All of STRIKE is HYDRA?" Natasha asked.

"Pretty much, and anyone who isn't they would have killed."

"I've made breakfast!" Sam had entered the room and Steve, Natasha and Jayden's gaze had fallen on him instantly, "If you eat that sort of thing..." He turned an left for a few minutes.

"We need to focus on who, at S.H.E.I.L.D could launch a domestic missile strike, " Natasha stated. They thought about it as they walked into the kitchen to start eating. It was Jayden who provided an answer.

"Pierce is the leader of HYDRA in a way. He is the temporary leader of S.H.E.I.L.D. He would have millions of authority and if he is the one in charge of HYDRA it would make sense..."

"We need to kidnap a S.H.E.I.L.D officer that knows about HYDRA in the middle of the day. How do we do that?" Natasha asked, "Oh and also, we are wanted."

"Well me and Sam aren't? We could deliver him to you. He will trust me because I am presumably HYDRA." Both Steve and Natasha shrugged but Natasha was the first to agree.

"Sure."

"Sam, you up for it?" Steve looked at him.

"Oh I am always ready, for a friend." They shook hands.

"I'm guessing I need to say, thanks. Friend." She added with a smile.

A/N: So I hope you are enjoying this, I am definitely enjoying writing it :) I am planning on maybe making a trailer but I don't know any good websites or FREE apps to use so if you have any recommendations I would love that! Or if there aren't any good quality ones I could send you requirements and how I would like it made!
