By:Hozier

Alright guys so in this chapter there isn't gonna be a lot of Fandral but there is gonna be character development in Zeph and Brooke together and Bromance! Anyways, I hope you like!

Zeph began to walk towards Bucky as everybody watched quietly, and to Steve this Winter Soldier guy seemed familiar.

Brooke tried her best to stay awake as she watched Bucky and Zeph begging to fight. every time that she blink seemed to falling asleep more.

She blinked once and she saw Zeph and Bucky fight with their guns like swords, swinging them at each other. She blinked again and she felt her eyelids growling heavier.

She forced her eyes to open and she saw Bucky's metal arm hit Zeph. Zeph tried to back up but Bucky was quick and Zeph fell back on the floor.

Blinking again, Brooke felt like her eyes fluttering closed, and she saw Bucky step on Zeph's hand and crush his fingers with his foot and Zeph let out a grunt of pain.

That was the late thing Brooke remembered before her eyes shut closed.

•{~}~{~}•{~}~{~}•

"Ughhh" Brooke groaned loudly. She felt her body on a soft bed.

Her head sunk into the pillow which felt amazing but her body hurt. Her face stung and so did her stomach and one of her arms.

"Oh gods.." She mumbled and took a deep breath, and when she did her stomach burned and she yelped and she slowly opened her eyes, calming her breath.

She was in comfortable clothes now and she relaxed her body. She looked at the roof and then she carefully turned her head, making sure she didn't hurt herself.

As soon as she turned, she found Zeph sitting on her bed next to her, and her eyes widened. He was shirtless and his muscles looked pretty good, to be honest.

He looked down at Brooke and saw that she was awake. Brooke quickly sat up and scrambled back, falling out of the bed and landing on the floor.

Zeph's eyes widened a little as Brooke groaned and closed her eyes in pain. Her back was aching in pain. Zeph quickly got up and walked towards Brooke.

He lifted her up in his arms gently and then carried her back to he bed. Brooke began to shake a little. "Please don't hurt me" she begged softly in a shaky voice.

"I won't" Zeph answered simply, but his voice seemed calm and honest. He gently set down Brooke on the bed and Brooke felt her body relax.

She watched Zeph cautiously just in case as he went to go sit down next to her. She then carefully turned to her side and looked up at him as he looked down at her.

"W-Why?"

Zeph raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, do you want me to hurt you?" He asked in a confused tone. Brooke's eyes widened and she quickly shook her head.

"N-No! But I mean, aren't you trying to kill me?" She asked confused. He was trying to kill her only the other night and now he was here watching over her?

"I'm not the one who's trying to kill you" He answered. She raised an eyebrow and she sat up on her elbow's.

"Y-you're not?" She asked, still confused. He shook his head. Brooke sat up slowly with a bit of struggle, and Zeph helped her sit up.

"Then... why did Peter tell me that?" She asked as Zeph kept his hand on her back gentry. He then sighed softly. "Because of Hydra" He answered.

His answers were always so short. Brooke raised an eyebrow and looked down at the bed and then back at Zeph, still confused.

"What does Hydra want?" She asked. Zeph looked at her in her eyes, and without hesitation, answered. "You" He answered truthfully.

Brooke almost threw up. She knew that Hydra was a terrible place to be, and they weren't so nice. There was terrible people there, and Steve had even shared some stories with Brooke.

He would tell her about Res Skull, Howard Stark, Tony's father, and Peggy. He talked about Peggy the most out of all of it.

Brooke curiously swung her legs to sit at the edge of the bed next to Zeph. He was taller than her for sure. "How do you know?" She asked, look him up at him.

Zeph looked down at Brooke. "Because I used to be in Hydra" He answered. Brooke's eyes widened and she quickly got up from the bed and towards the door.

Zeph's eyes widened and he quickly got up and wrapped his arms around Brooke before he could open the door. "Let me go!!!" Brooke shouted.

She began to kick as Zeph quickly covered her mouth from screaming and he forcefully sat her back down on the bed.

"NO! Let me go!!" Brooke shouted again, trying to kick but Zeph quickly wrapped his arms around her legs to stop her with some struggle.

"Listen to me!" He growled at her. Brooke shook her head and kept kicking, or at least trying. "LISTEN!" Zeph roared, and immediately Brooke stopped.

She was at the verge of tears in fear and she only wanted Fandral by her side now and her two brothers. She had the urge to ask were Fandral was now but maybe it was wiser to stay quiet.

"Just listen" He said, calming down and his voice lowering back to his normal tone. Brooke stayed silent.

"After working for Hyrda for all of my life, or at least most of it, I was on the top, and I was one of the most important people in Hydra. This was because of my high knowledge on technology and guns.

"Without me, Hydra would have never been able to figure out how to turn on the power to things they needed or to get into something they weren't supposed to in the computer. But after a while, Hydra didn't need me and my high knowledge on technology since they already knew how to do it themselves, so they began to experiment on me.

"Because of those experiments I have some... gifts that normal humans don't have. I can read people's minds and predict their next moves, and I can also sense others powers and I have Omnilingual; the ability to memorize any foreign language quickly.After these experiments I had overheard the guards talking about a young woman named Brooke Laufeyson, and how they wanted you to destroy humanity.

"At that point I finally ran away and escaped from Hydra with my powers, and I escaped, and I began my search for you to keep you safe. Hydra sent rumors and told everyone that I was on the lookout to kill you so supposably I could become fully alive, and those rumors spread quickly, and I'm sure your friend Quill heard."

Brooke had tears rolling down her cheeks when she heard that they had experimented on Zeph and tried to make him a murder machine.

She looked up at him as he walked around the room and then he sat down next to Brooke again, sighing softly. "Why was Hydra doing that to you!??" She asked.

"I was supposed to be the one to kill you" He answered. He looked at the floor and then up at Brooke. "There's something different about you."

Babe, there's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?

Babe, there's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me

No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony
No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
