Forever and Always

Chapter 19

I was awoken by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes seeing Bruce, I groaned wiping my hands over my face. "The quinjet is here, we have to go" I jumped up excitedly making Bruce chuckle. We got into the quinjet and we were greeted with Phil. "Ready to go?" I nodded enthusiastically. Phil wasted no time leaving the compound. I took a seat not being able to stay still. I can't wait to see the team and Steve. I just want to kiss his lips and have him hold me in his arms telling me it's going to be alright. Vile needs to be taken down and I hope there is enough 'evidence' at the tower for them to be able to bring them down and this can end once and for all. 

The flight wasn't long at all before we touched down on the Heli-pad. As soon as the quinjet doors opened I ran out and was immediately greeted by Tony. From what I could see behind him the tower was still destroyed. "Where's Steve?" Tony gave me a small smile, "I missed you too kid" I felt bad so I gave him a tight hug and he returned it. When I let go he handed something to me. "What is this?" I was looking at a silver bracelet, very simple, no diamonds. "It has a tracker in it. Each team member has one. I developed it after you were taken" I put it on and smiled at him, "Thank you Tony" he crossed his arms and looked at Bruce, "Nice outfit. Anyway Steve went to his flat to clean up. He can grow a beard quick" I looked at him questioningly, "okay?"

I quickly made my way to the elevator and to Steve's flat. I had to be careful as there was still debris everywhere. When the elevator doors opened I walked out and my heart picked up its pace. "Steve?" Looking to the living room I froze, unable to speak or move. "Hello again." I was met with the person in the black hood from yesterday. "Where's Steve?" he chuckled, "he's alive for now" I was trying my best to keep myself under control, "what do you want?" He clasped his hands together, "You lovely." I took a step back as he took a step toward me. "If I go with you willingly will you let Steve go?" He stopped taking steps toward me, "No fighting, no resisting if I simply let the Captain America go?" I nodded, "That's right." It was silent for a moment and then I felt a cloth bag go over my head. It took me off guard but I didn't scream, I couldn't let anything happen to Steve. Someone was tying my hands behind my back and as soon as they were done I felt someone pick me up and I didn't put up a fight like I said.

I pray that the team looks for Steve and I soon and that this tracker does indeed work. After walking I heard a car door and I was thrown in. My shoulder hitting something that made me groan in pain. The vehicle started up and took off. I'm curious as to whether the CCTV's are working and how long the team has been back at the tower since Vile was still able to walk around without being caught. That also means they stayed in the tower after Bruce and I left. Did they take out all of S.H.I.E.L.D? Without much mobility I stayed laying on the floor of this car trying to listen to any talking but all I got was the rumbling of the road.

My neck started to feel sore by the time the car finally stopped moving. I heard the doors open and then I was roughly grabbed out of the vehicle. There were two sets of arms holding each one of my arms tightly and then the bag was being pulled off my head. We were in a clearing, there were people in black hoods standing in my peripheral vision and the two holding my arms. Another vehicle pulled up and black hoods started piling out of it as well and then my breath hitched. They were holding Steve like they were me with a black clothed bag over his head as well. It was taking everything out of me not to start crying and do everything in my power to get to him.

They took the bag off his head and he looked to be unconscious. His hair had grown a lot since I'd last seen him and he had facial hair. He looked so good. His eyes started to open and when he gained full consciousness I saw his body tense as he struggled in the grip of the two black hooded men. Then his eyes caught mine. He shouted my name questioningly as he was seething with anger as he looked around. "Ah what a cute little reunion" Then the same black hood stood in the middle of us with his hands out. "What do you want with her!?" Steve growled. "That is none of your business Captain" He stood looking between Steve and I. "Our organization simply wants to help the world," he laughed maniacally. "This is a cult" I spoke up and he immediately stopped laughing and walked over to me grabbing my chin tightly to make me look at him. "Don't touch her!" Steve shouted but was ignored.
