The atmosphere in the Rogers household was tense, and Ellen Lynne Rogers found herself in a situation she never thought she would be in. She had spent weeks investigating a serial killer, a killer who was actually her husband Steve, yet there was one element she knew she could use to her advantage: her favorite dish. She knew that if she wanted to catch this monster, she needed to do more than follow his trail; she needed a trap.

Ella had devised a risky plan. To lure Steve, she had prepared her famous apple pie, which had enchanted Steve since the first time she made it for him, but this time with a special twist: a dose of the medicine he administered to his victims. She knew she had to act fast before he could do more damage and that her brother Clint was nearby in case anything went wrong.

While in her mind, she went over every detail of her plan. She had to be ready for anything. Ellen walked out of the room, leaving Steve with the word in his mouth. She knew he wouldn't leave things like this, but the pie couldn't be in the oven anymore.

When she heard the familiar sound of the kitchen door opening, her heart skipped a beat. She knew the time had come.

"Is it ready, dear?" Steve asked with a smirk, unsuspecting of what awaited him.

"Sure, and I assure you it came out delicious," Ellen replied, keeping her composure as her heart pounded in her chest.

As he approached, the temptation of pie was too strong for him.

"Mmm, smells good," he said, leaning closer.

"It's your favorite," she commented, smiling. "But be careful, it might be a little... spicy."

Steve laughed, taking a piece of the pie and popping it into his mouth.

After a few minutes of eating more pie, Steve noticed that he had finally realized that he had underestimated his wife and could no longer control her.

"That won't work on me, Ellen," Steve scoffed. "Super soldier serum, do you remember?"

Ellen frowned, her plan beginning to crumble.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Steve."

Realizing that the poison would have no effect and that Steve had already figured it all out, she decided to act. Without a second thought, she pulled out one of the special knives she usually used on missions, which she had hidden in her dress.

"If I can't stop you with this, I'll do whatever it takes."

"Do you really think that will work?" Steve sneered again, but before he could react, Ellen attacked him. Steve, however, was quicker. In an instant, he knocked the knife out of her hands with ease, pinning Ellen against the wall.

"Have you lost your mind?" he said, holding her firmly, pinning her arms behind her back.

Ella resisted, trying to break free, but he had her firmly in his grip.

"Are you capable of killing your daughter's mother, by any chance?" She taunted, turning her head to look at him defiantly.

Steve frowned, feeling puzzled, but he wouldn't fall into another trap again.

"You know what you did with Rumlow isn't so easily forgotten; how do I know that little girl is really mine?"

Ellen looked at him with disdain. "Sarah is your daughter. I wouldn't cheat you out of something like that. I wouldn't risk even her; believe me, I don't forget everything you did to bring her into existence; besides Steve, I know you're Captain Hydra. I've been following in your footsteps. You're not a hero; you're a serial killer. And I won't let you hurt any more people."

The tension in the room was palpable. Steve felt hurt by her words, but at the same time he wasn't going to let his wife mock him.

Clint suddenly appeared, taking advantage of Steve being busy, shot one of his arrows at him, and immediately lunged towards him, pushing him against the wall to subdue him so he wouldn't escape again while Ellen took a deep breath, trying to catch her breath after the intense confrontation.

"Lyn, are you all right?" asked Clint, looking at his sister with concern.

"I'm fine, Clint. I'm just...I'm fine."

"What the hell were you thinking?" Clint asked without taking his eyes off Steve.
