Ghost Story

Steve and Costia walked into Sharon Carter when they walked towards the conference room Steve was supposed to be at. Costia smiled at the woman, Steve kept a straight face.

"Captain Rogers." she greeted as she walked past the two. "Neighbour." Steve said dry.

"Oh. Captain." Pierce said as Steve and Costia approached him, "Agent Reyonoff."

"I'm Alexander Pierce." he said as he shook Steves hand. "Sir, it's an honor." Steve said.

"The honor's mine, Captain. My father served in the 101st. Come on in." he said as he nodded in the direction of the conference room, "If you would just wait outside." he turned to Costia.

"Sure." she said as she gave him a sweet smile. After he turned back around she rolled her eyes.

She was about to go when she heard Pierce talking from inside. It wasn't really talking. She heard him in her head. Like she would think his thoughts.

'Why was Nick in your apartment last night' she stopped in her tracks immediately and kept standing infront of the office door. "What in gods name..." she mumbled. She couldn't just 'hear' Pierces thoughts but also Steves.

'I don't know' that came from Steve, but somehow Costia knew it was a lie. The true answer had to be somewhere else in his mind. Costia was interrupted by Rumlow who suddenly stood next to her, "What are you doing here, Reyonoff?" he asked as he looked at Costia.

"Uhm, waiting." Costia gave him a sweet smile. "Waiting for who?" he asked, he wasn't believing her.

"For Cap." Costia said shortly, "He's currently in there with Pierce. Told me to wait here."

"But why are you here?" Rumlow asked, Costia saw a concern in his eyes. "Why don't you already go downstairs and wait for Rogers in the lobby?" Rumlow asked. Cosia looked confused at him, "Why would I do that?"

Rumlow was about to convince her again that she should go when he heard steps from inside the room. He quickly walked away. Costia looked after him.

"You're still here?" Steve asked as he stepped out of the room. "Oh my god," Costia exclaimed, "why is everyone bothered by my presence?"

"Sorry," Steve said as the two started to walked towards the elevator, "I didn't mean to upset you." he said apologetically as the two stepped in the elevator.

"No worries." she muttered.

Costia really loved this elevator because it had a great view over most of DC.

"Operations Control." Steve said as the doors began to close. 'Confirmed.' the computer voice from Shield said. Costia looked confused at Steve who was facing the city, "Why would we go there?" she asked.

Steve didn't get to answer because Rumlow squeezed through the doors, "Keep all Strike personnel on site." he said as he walked through the doors along with some other agents.

"Understood." one of them said while another one asnwered with 'Yes, sir.'

"Forensics." Rumlow said to the elevator, the computer voice confirmed again.

"Cap, Reyonoff." Rumlow greeted again. "Rumlow." both of them said.

After they drove down a few levels Rumlow spoke up, "Evidence Response found some fibers on the roof they want us to see. You want me to get the tac team ready?" he asked the Captain. As always he didn't even acknowledge the woman.

"No, let's wait and see what it is first." Steve said. "Right." Rumlow turned back around.

Costia nudged Steves shoulder as she nodded towards one of the Strike agents, he had his hand on the holster of his gun.
