"The target is a mobile satellite launch platform. The Lemurian Star. They were sending up their last payload when pirates took them," Said a agent. I was putting on my gun straps around me. "93 minutes ago." We were all looking at the screen.
"Any demands?" Steve asked.
"Billion and a half."
"Why so steep?"
"Because it's SHIELD's."
"So it's not off-course. It's trespassing" Steve told me.
"I'm sure they have a good reason." I was biting my nails. That's a habit when I'm focusing.
"You know, I'm getting a little tired of being Fury's janitor."
"Relax, it's not that complicated." I told him. And he turned to the agent.
"How many pirates?"
"25. Top mercs led by this guy." He showed us the guy. "Georges Bayroc. Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's Red Notice. Before the French demobilized him, he had 36 kill missions. This guy's got a rep for maximum casualties."
"Hostages?" Steve once again said.
"Oh, mostly techs. One officer. Jasper Sitwell." Sitwell? The bald guy with glasses? Him? "They're in the gallery."
"What's Sitwell doing on a launch ship?" I looked at Steve. "Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Bactroc. Crystal, you kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get them out. Let's move." Steve command.
"STRIKE, you heard the Cap. Gear up." Rumlow said. I walked away to put on my suit and came back.
"Secure channel seven." Steve said in his watch with a mic.
"Seven secure." I told him. "Did you do anything fun Saturday night, besides getting my ass into trouble?"
"You forgave me, let's leave it like that. Anyways, all the guys from my barbershop quartet are dead, so, no, not really."
"Coming up on the drop zone, Cap." Said the pilot on the radio.
"You know, if you ask Kristen out, from Statistics, she'd probably say yes." I told Steve. That dude needs to find someone to be in a relationship with. He's all alone. I know i cant be the one to be with him. It cant be possible, with my dad? He'll freak. It did tear my heart apart just by talking about other women he should go out with.
"That's why I don't ask." He said putting on his helmet.
"To shy, or too scared?" I said again.
"Too busy!" He yelled. And he jumped out the plane. This dude is a daredevil, he jumps out of planes without a parachute. Aw, being 18 is amazing, IM FREE! I can do whatever I want, besides that I can move away because my dad doesn't want me too, he wants me to be safe. I don't blame him, I love the tower. After I saw agents jumping out the plane I jumped out.
"What about that nurse that lives across the hall from you?" I landed smoothly and walked with Steve. "She seems nice."
"Secure the engine room, then find me a date." I smiled.
"I'm multitasking." I jumped over the rail. I was on the bottom and went straight to the engine room. I was in the engine room and saw a guy. I waited for him to hang up to phone, my hand rested on my ladder.
"Hey, sailor." I smiled. I kicked him on the knee, making it bend. He screamed in pain. This job, I don't care about it, I mean going on missions and killing people, I don't care about that anymore. Don't call me crazy. I pulled out my zip wire, and wrap it around his neck. I kicked him back and I flipped over the rail and pulled out my guns. I shoot the guys that were in the engine room. I landed on floor and I heard two guys below me. I shoot them both and I carried on.

"Crystal, what's your status?" Said Steve. I jumped off and walked to the guard that was in front of me. "Status, Crystal."
"Hang on!" I yelled and I burned the guards neck with my hands. He fell backwards and I did a front roll and saw another guard coming at me. He swung a hit, but I threw a fireball at him. He got up and I grabbed his arm and twisted it backwards. I hit him with my knee at his head, and he was down. Another one came, I did a cartwheel and had him between my legs and brought him down and cracked his neck. I got up and dust myself off.
"Engine room secure." I said into my watch. I grabbed a pipe and saw the guard get up, but I swung at him and now he was down. I walked away and headed where I needed to go for my mission that Fury had sent me to. I walked into a computer room, I grabbed the flash drive that Nick gave me and I started to get the information that I thought was useful. I type and type.
"Crystal, Batroc's on the move." I heard Steve, I ignored him and did my mission that I was signed to. "Circle back to Rumlowand protectthe hostages. Crystal." I'm kinda busy here, let me call you when I'm done. I saw the door broke and saw Steve and I guess, Batroc.
"Well, this is awkward." I looked at Steve and he looked at me.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Backing up the hard drive. It's a good habit to get into."
"Rumlow needed your help." Steve walked towards me. What now, are you going to tell on me like you did Saturday? "What the hell are you doing here?" There was a moment of silence. "You're saving SHIELD intel."
"Whatever I can get my hands on."
"Our mission is to rescue hostages." And here's where you're wrong, Rogers.
"No, that's your mission.." I unplugged the drive. "And you've done it beautifully." I smiled. I was about to walk away, but Steve grabbed my arm.
"You just jeopardize this whole operation."
"I think that's over standing things." We heard something move and it was Batroc, he threw a grenade at us. Steve grabbed me by the waist and we jumped to the next room and then it exploded. I hit my head against the wall. "Okay. That one is on me." I told him.

"You're damn right." And he got up and left. I sighed. I have thought of what I have done.
