Finally you came into my life 🤍

Chapter 15 ~ A.I.M.

Reader's p.o.v.

Steve, Clint and Nat were in the room, interrogating that agent for about an hour, but it was pointless. He wasn't talking.
Me, Bucky and Sam were behind the glass, listening and watching.
"This is pointless." I said.
"It's never easy in the beginning. Give him time and he will talk." Bucky said.

"Who are you and why you were in the weapons room?" Steve asked him once again.
"We want to make it easy for you, man." Clint said. "If you talk we promise you that you'll have our protection."
"I have a request." He said and we looked at each other.
"So, he can talk." Sam said sarcastically.
"Which is?" Nat asked.
"I will only talk to the lady who shot me." Steve widen his eyes and I gasped.
"What the hell?" Bucky said confused.
"That's not gonna happen." Steve said.
"Why her?" Nat asked suspiciously.
"I've heard so much about her and she have some nerve." I raised my eyebrow.
"Only if I'm in this room too." Steve told him.
"What's the matter, Cap? You have a soft spot after all." I gulped and Bucky put his metal arm protectively around me.
"Steve tell her to come in." Clint simply said.
After few seconds, Steve cursed under his breath and he came to me.
"I'll be right here and watch." he told me and I nodded. 
"Don't be scared, you got this. He's traumatized, he can't do anything to you." Sam reassured me.
"I have faced criminals thousands times. This one won't be different." I said. 

When I entered the room, he looked at me and gave me a creepy smile.
"Finally! Some nice company." he said and I sat opposite of him.
"First of all, how you know me?" 
"I can't answer that." I narrowed my eyes.
"You said that you'll talk to me."
"I can't tell you that." I just looked at him.
"Who are you then?"
"I'm an A.I.M. Agent, name 087." I widen my eyes.

Steve's p.o.v.

When he said that he was an A.I.M. Agent, I panicked.
"I'm an idiot!" I said and I hit my hand on the wall.
"Steve, calm down." Nat told me.
"How can I? I let her alone with a dangerous man."
"Don't worry! Y/n can handle this, she has proven that million times." Clint said.
"Let's see if we'll earn something." Bucky said.
Y/n was making questions on point, but the guy wasn't cooperating.

Reader's p.o.v.

"You were looking for something at the weapons' room. What was that? Obviously, if you hadn't been disturbed by my phone ringing, you would continue searching for what you wanted."
"I have a mission." he simply said. 
"Which is?" he chuckled.
"A.I.M. is an organized of a group of brilliant scientists whose sole dedication is to acquire and develop power through technological means." I winden my eyes.
"And you want Stark's weapons."
"It's not me who I want them. I just came here to take a look." he smirked.
"Then speak! Tell me, A.I.M. wants Stark's weapons and inventions? Or you cooperate with someone else as well?" he simply laughed.
Then, even though he was handcuffed, he managed to reach his right ear and after few seconds he died.
"Oh my God!" I said as I got up from the chair. Steve, Bucky, Sam and Nat entered the room too.
I checked his pulses.
"He's dead." I said. 

We took him in my lab and after the biopsy I understood what happened.
"He died from a heart attack." I said.
Tony was worried, while Steve and Bucky were angry.
"He caused this to himself so we can't force him to talk." I said.
"He just gave us some clues." Tony said. "But we can't find anything."
"Nat can find about him." Bucky simply said.
"I believe that they cooperate with Hydra as well." Steve said. "Fury and Sharon gave us report."
"I'm curious to find out how he knew about me." I said.
"That was suspicious, indeed."

Later, Steve gathered the Avengers in a meeting.
"We won't talk to anyone about it, at least for now." Steve said.
"What about Fury?" Sam asked.
"We have already sent him a report." I said. "But no one else must know about today for now."
"Got it." Clint said.

Later me and Steve went for a walk to calm down.
"I gotta say, sweetheart, I am proud of you. I might have been scared, but you never stop to amaze me." Steve told me and kissed my forehead.
"Thank you, Steve. It's important to me that you trust me. I did what I thought it was right.
"I love you!" He whispered.
"I love you more." He kissed me deeply.
"What about a date tomorrow morning? Just me and you." Steve asked me.
"Of course! Let's go to this new coffee shop, that also makes sweets and plays a soft jazz music." I said excited and he chuckled.
"Deal. What about 10?"
"Sounds amazing."

Steve's p.o.v.

The next day, I woke up early to go for morning run and after I took a bath, I started getting ready for my date with y/n.
Then my phone rang and I saw Sharon's name on the screen. Confused I picked it up.
"Sharon?"
"Good morning, Steve. Everything's alright? Here in SHIELD, uh... they are talking about an intruder at the Avengers Compound." I narrowed my eyes.
"Who said that?" She wasn't talking for a few seconds.
"You know, they talk here a lot." She simply said.
"Everything's alright, Sharon. Don't worry."
"Oh! Great, ok." We hang up and I was confused.
"That's strange."

When I met y/n, my mood immediately lighten up. But I couldn't stop thinking this weird phone call with Sharon.
We sat at the table and we made our order.
"Are you alright, darling? You seem a little down." She asked me.
I told her what happened and she was as confused as me.
"Did Fury talk to her?" I shook my head.
"I talked with him. He said that he is not going to talk to anyone."
"That's strange indeed. Neither Fury lie to you, something impossible, or Sharon is watching us or something." She told me.
"I'll tell Nat and Bucky to keep an eye on her, just to be sure." She agreed.

Later, when we arrived at the Compound, immediately we met with Bucky and Nat.
"Can you do it?" I asked them.
"Absolutely. Peace of cake." Nat said.
"And why did she call Steve and not someone else?" Bucky asked.
"I don't believe that this has something to do." Y/n said. "Even though, I don't like that she calls you." She smirked and I kissed her hand.
"If we found anything we'll tell you." Nat said.

When they left, I looked at y/n.
"We make a great team, sweetheart." I kissed her.
