King of Hearts (A Steve Rogers x Reader Fic)

Chapter Three

YN and Sam were, once again, on a roof. Her AA12 in hand and two hand guns strapped to her thighs, YN waited for her queue. The back door opened shortly after, letting YN and Sam into the building. As they made their way down the steps, a familiar voice echoed through the speakers attached to the walls.

"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA." YN and Sam picked up the pace, heading toward Steve's position. "Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building." The hairs on YN's arms stood up at the words.

"God, if we die it's your fault, Sam." She whispered, making Sam scoff

"They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want." He paused for dramatics, making YN roll her eyes. "Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

Sam and YN entered as Steve wrapped up his speech, Sam laughing as he caught his breath. "Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?" YN asked, Sam's laughter coming back in full force.

A loud beep echoed throughout the room. "They're initiating launch."

YN cursed under her breath at Steve's words, grabbing the chip and running off with Sam as he grabbed his own. A shot rang out and YN thanked her lucky stars it flew past her as she ran. "Hey, Cap? How do we know the good guys from the bad guys?" Sam asked.

"If they're shooting at you, they're bad." YN chuckled, picking up her pace as Sam took flight.

"Shit!" YN shouted, ducking behind a beam when she spotted men with guns headed her way. "Hey guys, I think I found those bad guys you were talking about."

"You okay?" Steve asked, worry pricking at his skin.

"I'm not dead... Yet." She added, firing her gun and making the men fall backward with the explosion. "Sam, you better catch me." YN flung herself out of the building, Sam grabbing her arms with a huff.

"You know a 'hey Sam, I'm going to jump off the fortieth floor, please catch me', would be nice." YN laughed, grunting as she was dropped onto the carrier.

"Sam, YN, status." The captain called, his voice ringing in Sam and YN's ear.

"Engaging." YN responded, running toward the entrance. "Oh shit." She whispered, seeing the Winter Soldier sneaking by. "Sam, hang right." She said quietly. "He's here."

"YN, get out of there." YN watched as he passed by the Alpha Carrier, and the Bravo that Sam was working on.

"He's headed for Charlie carrier," She called out, getting a grunt of recognition from her captain over the line. Running to the center of the helicarrier, YN slipped the chip in. "Alpha lock." She grunted, letting out a breath.

"Falcon, where are you now?" She heard Steve ask.

"I had to take a detour." Sam responded, letting YN's heart beat normally. "Alright I'm in. Bravo lock."

"Two down one to go." YN said, running out of the helicarrier, Sam collecting her from the edge. "Drop me at the communications room, I want to see what's going on around us. I can launch the sequence from there too!" She yelled to Sam, the flying man nodding in agreeance.
