Finally you came into my life 🤍

Chapter 18 ~ Rescue Plan

Steve's p.o.v.

I narrowed my eyes at Sharon.
"Sharon?" I asked. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"You got some nerve miss." Nat told her with cold tone.
"Cap, give the order and I'll shoot." Clint said, holding his bow tightly.
"Tony what is she doing here?" Bucky asked angrily as he entered the room.
"Honestly I was expecting worst." Sharon said sarcastically and I scoffed.
"Guys, listen to her." Tony said and I gave him a look. "She is with us."
"Tony, you really must understand to separate your allies from the traitors." Nat said coldly as she looked at Sharon.
"No, guys, Tony is right." Wanda entered as well, her eyes red. "Sharon has something interesting to say."
I took a breath.
"Ok. Talk." I said.
"I am not a traitor. Me and Agent Hill thought of a plan of how to destroy A.I.M. from the inside." Sharon said.
"Go on." Clint said.
"I am an ally of the A.I.M. and I wanted them to trust me and earn my loyalty. So, the only way to do that is to give them what they want."
"And that was y/n and Fury? They must be in serious danger right now." I said, my voice raising and my breath went faster.
"That's why I came to you now. What A.I.M. wants is to see you Steve suffer and S.H.I.E.L.D. disappear. I told them everything about y/n and your relationship, so they can trust me."
"So, you know where they are?" Bucky asked and Sharon nodded.
I felt a light again and hope.
"Where are they?" Nat asked impatient.
"In an A.I.M. submarine. The security there is unbreakable and the prisons... not so pleasant." She said and I bit my lip. "This is their base, so they can keep a low profile. Once we destroy the submarine, the rest will be easy."
"Your plan better works and y/n not be sacrificed for nothing." Tony said.
"I'll tell you everything that you need." Sharon said and we started making a rescue plan.

Reader's p.o.v.

I woke up, not knowing how many hours I've been sleeping, my body aches everywhere and I felt blood in my mouth.
I couldn't see anything, because it was dark, with no windows. Next to me was a tray with a small piece of bread and a cup of dirty water.
I don't know how many hours or days I've been here. All I know is that I miss the Avengers, my home and him.
"Where are you Steve?" I whispered and few tears rolled down to my cheeks.

Then the door opened and I pushed myself closer to the wall.
"Finally you're awake." Baron Strucker said and I gulped. "You didn't eat anything, dear. Aren't you hungry?"
I didn't answered. I was afraid that if I open my mouth, I'll start crying and I didn't want to show how weak I was right now.
"Here's the deal. You'll help me with destroying Captain Rogers and the Avengers and you'll be the new Baroness. Imagine it! You'll rule A.I.M. and of course Hydra. What Red Skull has begun, you will continue his legacy."
I wanted to puke. Not from the pain or the smell, but from what I was hearing.
"You're sick." I managed to say and he slapped me hard, making me hit my head on the wall.
"You're ungrateful. Didn't you hear anything? Baroness! We will end the Avengers."
"Do you seriously think you can beat the Avengers? How will you win Thor or Scarlet Witch? I will like to know that."
He grabbed my chin, making me moan from pain.
"I don't like it when they mock me."
He was about to hit me again, but an agent came in.
"Baron, there's an emergency at the control room." He said and Baron threw me on the floor.
"I'll come back." He told me and when the door closed, I left a few tears.

The minutes were passing and I was trying to draw anything with a small rock.
Suddenly, I heard steps and I got up, scared and terrified. The door opened and I saw an A.I.M. agent. He stood for few seconds looking at me and then he grabbed me and we started walking the corridor.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked, but nothing. We were alone and I saw it as a chance to escape.
"Let me go!" I was trying to escape, but he was much stronger.
Finally he made me stand still and tood of his mask. I widen my eyes and started crying.
"Steve?!" I got lost in his hug.
"Sweetheart, what happened to you?" He held my cheeks "I saw you and I couldn't recognize you."
"Just hold me." I hugged him tightly and more tears were rolling.
He hugged me back, but I left a small scream.
"Oh my God, y/n. I'm so sorry I couldn't find you earlier, sweetheart."
"You're here, darling. That's all that matters." He carefully kissed my lips, that were full of blood.
"I'm gonna make sweet love to you tonight sweetheart." He whispered tenderly and I hugged me again.
"How did you find us? Where's Fury? The Avengers are here as well?" He chuckled.
"I'll tell you everything at home. Yes, the Avengers are here. All of them for you and Fury." I smiled.
