Remembering You | B. Barnes / S. Rogers |

Chapter 5

You strapped the knife to your thigh looking in the mirror you smiled softly, the future wasn't as bad as you thought it to be in the beginning. The things they've given you were things you wished you had when you were helping take Hydra down back in 1945. Fury had briefly spoke to you about the mission, The Winter Soldier was your target— who happened to be a total ghost story. He was the cause of over a dozen assassinations in the last fifty years. You breathed out softly as you looked up into the bathroom mirror, your hair tied back into a pony tail, baby hairs falling to frame your face. You'd be lying if you said you weren't nervous, your first mission in seventy years, you'd only been out of your coma like state for about a week now, a tad rusty with your skills.

Opening the bathroom door Natasha greeted you in the large living room, sending you a soft smile she crosses her arms over her chest. "Rogers is in the car downstairs waiting for us. You alright?" She could read you, to a T. You shrugged your shoulders, a soft chuckle leaving your lips as you two begin the walk to the elevator. "I'm okay, just a tad nervous, a lot has changed in the time Steve and I were in the ice. I'm not fully up to speed." As the elevator doors closed Natasha sighed, she knew what you meant, when she had been recruited for the first time she felt that way. "Y/N, Steve sang praises about you when you were in a coma, you were all he talked about. All the missions and all the kick-ass agent stuff you did was what made me like you the most. Us ladies have to stick together y'know?" You laugh, her words slightly calming your worked up nerves slightly. The elevator dinged, opening its doors you walk through, Steve waiting in the black car just outside the glass doors. He sends you a soft smile, your heart easing slightly as you got inside.

The car ride was silent for a few minutes, so many questions about who you were after. You cleared your throat looking over at Natasha who was sitting in the passenger seat, "So we are just supposed to face this Winter Soldier assassin with knowing absolutely nothing about him?" Natasha gulped slowly, a sigh leaving her lips as she shifted in her seat, looking over her shoulder at you she smiles softly. "Not the best plan Fury has ever had.. Just stay close to Steve and I, you'll be okay." You laugh softly and shake your head at the red head. "Natasha, I think I'll be okay. I might be a tad rusty but I was the best in combat in my unit." Steve smiles at your words looking over at Natasha. "She's does have a point Nat, she used to be able to kick not only my ass but Bucky's too."

You laugh together for a second, looking out the window at the traffic you calm down finally. A loud thud could be heard throughout the whole car, Natasha looks in your direction as a gunshot rang out. "Shit!" Covering your head with your arms you jump in the front seat with the other two, heavy breathing was the only thing that could be heard until the sound of breaking glass filled your ears, slamming on the breaks a man flies from the top of the car. Your eyes widen when his metal arm stops him in the middle of the road. Standing to his feet his eyes were shaded by his sunglasses, "Looks like we didn't have to look to far when he was looking for us too." Your words were breathless. A large SUV slams into the back of the car shoving you guys forward causing your gun to fall from your hands, your heart rate quickens. The man jumped upward crashing onto the top of the car once again, no matter how much Steve pressed the breaks the car continued to hurdle forward. "Y/N now would be a good ass time to shoot!" Natasha yelled in your ear as you searched the floor for the pistol. "I'm trying! My pistol fell on the ground!" Finally feeling it on your finger tips you grab it swiftly.

The sound of shattering glass filled your ears as you watched his metal arm reach in and rip the steering wheel not only out of Steve's grip but out of the car entirely. You point your pistol at the roof of the car and shoot several times, ears now ringing the car began to tip sideways. Steve grabbed both you and Natasha tightly. "Hold on tight alright?" He shouts as he slams the car door causing it to fall off the hinges, you hit the ground and look up slowly panting. "You okay?" Steve whispers he softly moves stranded hairs from your face as you softly smile at him. Nodding you both look up The Winter Soldier pointed his gun in your direction, Steve swiftly put his shield up. "Go take cover Y/N!" He yelled as they began to shoot. You grabbed his arm and shook your head, "No not without you!" He grumbled something before pushing you behind a car with Natasha.

As he pushed you he placed his shield up being blown back and off the freeway your pulsed quickened, blood boiling you grab a grappling hook and threw one to Natasha, as you run to the side shots could be heard behind you. Looking over at Nat you nod, jumping at the same time you land a few feet from each other. "Go find Rogers! I'll deal with this asshole!" You draw the pistol from your side and begin running forward-- It finally felt like you were an agent again.
