Ain't No Hero | Male Reader X MCU

Chapter III

In a SHIELD analytical room, filled with monitors of partially silhouetted people. Fury stands in the middle, frowning. They make up the World Security Council.

Councilmen 1: Director SHIELD operates under the world security council we should have been informed of all the details

Nick: The Council's interest in our work has always been about results not procedure

Councilmen 2: Agent Clint Barton is intimate with SHIELD procedure I believe and now we learn he is working with the enemy

Fury frowns looking down wondering who told them most definitely not Natasha or Coulson chances are it was Hill

Councilmen 2: A man whose talent appears to be...

Fury cuts councilmen 2 off

Nick: killing, but he didn't kill me, he didn't go for the headshot he's been brainwashed but I won't write him off we're on Loki's trail, we're scrambling a response team

Councilwomen: (spiteful) the avengers

Councilmen 1: The Avengers initiative was shut down director it was a volatile concept at the best of time which this is not

Nick: (lying) this is just a response team

Councilwomen: (snapping) I suggest you make you're response rapid we all know what's at stake. Especially with that Hancock.

the screen turns off

Nick: (to himself) yes we do

{Brooklyn}

We are now in a Brooklyn gym at night. Occupied by one man, beating a punching bag in the gym lights, alone in the floor, lost in the fight. Steve Rogers. He beats the bag harder trying to get rid of the memories that invade his mind

we see a WWII flashback

we see a Hydra base, Captain America is running through a forest, dodging mortar shells, gunfire and Tesseract energy blasts.

Steve: (Echoey) There's not enough time! I gotta put her in the water!

He suddenly lifted into the air by a flying person who was laughing.

???: Man, do you just love getting into trouble.

In the present, Steve's punches become harder and more violent.

in the flashback, Steve places the compass he has, featuring a picture of Peggy Carter, on the dash as the plane plummets towards the ice.

The present, his punches become violent and aggressive.

Peggy: [flashback voice] You won't be alone.

???: I got your back, man.

Red Skull picked up the Tesseract, and vanishes.

We are back in the present Steve is breathing the bag with everything he has.

SHIELD scientist: (flashback) Oh my god!

Steve is lying on a table, half frozen, and still partially trapped in a slab of ice. Two SHIELD scientists run equipment over him, checking for his vitals.

SHIELD Scientist: This guy is still alive!

We are back in the present. Steve punched the bag, easily a hundred pounds, across the room with one swing snapping the metal chain and pummeling it back a dozen feet, sand spilling out from where he cracked the fabric. He stands up, breathing hard, and grabs another bag, resuming a more normal routine. Fury walks in.
