Steve shoved Natasha against the wall for a second time when Natasha decided she had had enough.

"I know who killed Fury." Steve stepped back so Natasha could finish.

"Most of the intelligence committee doesn't believe he exists and the ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over 2 dozen assassinations in the past 50 years. His partner, the Silent Assasin has 2 dozen assassinations in the last ten years."

"So they're a ghost story?" Steve asked.

"Five years ago I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Aron. Someone shot out my tires near Odesa, we lost control, went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out. But the Winter Soldier and his partner were there. I was covering my engineer so he shot him, straight through me." Natasha lifts up her shirt a little to show a gunshot scar.

"Soviet slug, no rifling. Bye, bye bikinis." Natasha finished.

"Yeah I bet you look terrible in them now." Steve said sarcastically.

Natasha paused for a moment before speaking again. "Going after them is a dead end, I know, I tried." There was another pause and Natasha holds up the drive. "Like you said, they're a ghost story."

Steve looked at Natasha.

"Then let's find out what the ghost wants."

(Back with The Silent Assassin.)


Director Peirce comes into the kitchen and opens up the refrigerator. He turns around and sees me and my partner sitting on chairs at the table in the corner.

"I'm going to go Mr. Peirce. Do you need anything before I leave?" A voice asked. My hand instinctively reached for my gun but our handler shook his head.

"No. Uh it's fine Renata. You can go home." Peirce answered, not taking his eyes off of us.

"Okay night, night."

"Goodnight." There's a sound of a door closing and then there's silence until Peirce breaks it.

"Want some milk." Peirce asked, even though we knew it was a rhetorical question. If we answered it would mean that we had opinions on our own and they would need to wipe us.

Mr. Peirce poured himself a glass of the milk and then spoke directly to us.

"The timetable has moved. Our window is limited." He takes a drink and then walks over to our table. "Two targets, level six. They already cost me Zola. I want confirmed death in ten hours."

"Sorry Mr. Peirce I- I forgot my... phone." The voice from earlier suddenly came into view.

I instinctively reached for my gun in my holster but our handler shook his head.

"Oh Renata. I wish you would have knocked." Mr. Peirce picked up the gun that was on the table and shot the girl until she fell.

"Find them. And don't come back until they're dead."



Time Skip - 2 hours




We were currently in a car chasing our targets. They had gotten to Agent Sitwell and he was in the back right seat. The Winter Soldier was on top of the car and ready to jump on top of the other one and rip the Agent out. Before he jumped I mind messaged him.

Are you sure about this papa?

Yes doll. We will be okay.

How are you so sure?
