Worthy (Captain America/Steve Rogers Love Story)

Run

Hospital:

Charlies POV:

Steve and I were headed back to the hospital to retrieve the flash drive I hid. We walked in silence, both pondering on what to do next. I looked at Steve and saw the frustration and confusion on his face. I grabbed his hand giving it a small squeeze, he looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"I know its hard to see right now, not even i believe this but everything will work out Steve. it always does" I told him reassuringly although I wasn't certain myself, but things had to work out.

"Thank you Charlie" Steve said giving me me a sweet kiss. I couldn't help but smile. Finally we arrived at the vending machine. I looked in only to panic.

"Steve it's gone... oh my god im so sorry. I was so stupid" I felt horrible, i lost and extremely important piece, something that could gives us answers. Steve was about to say something when we heard gum pop. We both turned and saw the source. Steve immediately pulled Nat into a room and I followed.

"Where is it?" Steve said angrily

"Safe." Nat said with a pointed look.

"Seriously,Do better Nat" I said speaking at a level tone trying not to make things worse

"Where did you get it?" She said turning to me with a glare

"Why would I tell you?" I spoke suspiciously

"Fury gave it to you. Why?" She said knowingly. I looked down, I couldn't lie i was terrible at it.

"What's on it?" Steve asked getting to the point

"I don't know." Nat said, I know what she's like when she lies, she wasn't lying.

"Stop lying!" Steve said with anger.

"Steve clam down, she is telling the truth, trust me." I said pulling Steve back hoping to calm him

"I only act like I know everything, Rogers." Nat said stepping closer to us. I stepped up trying to put space between them.

"I bet you knew Fury hired the pirates, didn't you?" Steve said still angry

"Well, it makes sense. The ship was dirty, Fury needed a way in, so do you." Nat said without a care. My anger began to rise again, all the secrets were beginning to cloud y mind.

"I'm not gonna ask you again." Steve said wanting answers, I was to distracted to even stop him.

"I know who killed Fury. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, the ones who do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last fifty years." Nat spoke up. This caught my attention. 50 years? How old is this guy how is he in such shape to perform missions? Steve seemed to perk up at this.

"So he's a ghost story?" I question trying to figure out more.

"Five years ago I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran, somebody shot out my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out, but the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him straight through me." Nat said pulling up her shirt and showing a scar. I was more curious now "Soviet slug, no rifling. Bye-bye bikinis." Nat finished.

"Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now." Steve finished and Nat smiled. The comment kind of hurt. Steve hasn't seen me like that but he will say it to another woman. I look away slightly upset but i didn't want anyone to know.

"Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried." Nat spoke and holds up the flash drive "Like you said, he's a ghost story."

I turn to her and grab the flash drive, not looking at any of them. I start to walk away towards the door. "Well, let's find out what the ghost wants." I said walking out.
