'Do you happen to know where Sirens come from?' You ask him, your fingers moving as smoothly as they can to make your question clear to him.

You're sitting in the grass while Steve lays on his side. He shakes his head in response. Those blue eyes filling with the need to soak up more knowledge about you, you smile at that.

'Many believe that we are these maidens.. maidens who have become victims of the sea, thrown overboard by pirates, killed by men who sail those seas... and some of them were... but us three? We used to be part of the royal army, a long time ago...'

'Army?' Steve asks confused.

You nod. 'We come from Arcania.. we fought for Queen Margaret... my sisters and I were her most trusted actually... we fought against Hydra, like you are doing now...'

'What happened?'

'We lost... after their former king managed to slaughter the queen, many betrayed her and went to their side... when Rumlow found out we were her most trusted... he vouched told have us executed...and he wanted to do it himself...' You wince at that memory.

Steve takes your hand in his and gives it a light squeeze. You give him a small smile before continuing, effectively pulling back your hand.

'He found burning wouldn't be as exciting as he wishes for, neither was a simple beheading, he wanted us to suffer... so he dragged us to this very lake...' you turn to look at the now peaceful lake behind you.

Steve now sits up, his brows furrowing in both anger and confusion. Confusion about how a man could do something this horrible, even though he hadn't met you yet, he can't help but feel the anger rise.

'First it was Natasha, she didn't put up that much of a fight... then there was Wanda, she was scared, she cried and begged...he wouldn't... he wouldn't relent... and then.. he killed me...I yelled out in rage and the next thing I know... I wake up as this... so what everyone belies is a lie, we are warriors... knights..'

'Did you ever try to go after him?'

'No...' you shake your head. 'We didn't think anyone else was left to fight.. so we hid.. we promised each other we would fight to the death if he ever came here.. we kind of expected you to be his soldiers..'

'I'm glad I found you...' he signs before his hand moves up to touch your cheek. You lean into it while a small tear gathers inside your eye before it rolls down.

You move to take his hand and slide it to your neck. He can feel your pulse through his fingers, his touch makes it more rapid.

His eyes move to find yours, a small smile on both your lips as they do.

'I love you...' you say out loud.

He can feel the deep rumble of your vocal cords, how they move to say the words he needs to feel every now and then. That's why you move his hand to your neck, because some phrases can be felt.
