Steve's POV

I stared at the ceiling of the vehicle as I felt the cold environment of the Quinjet. I am on my way on a mission at a Hydra base along with Natasha and other SHIELD agents.

"Steve."

Natasha called my attention that the ceiling mainly took.

"You look nervous." she huffed, "It's like you've never been on a mission before." she crossed her arms on her chest.

She was right. I am nervous.

"Trust me, I've been in much worse. We've been in so much worse." I replied as I took a deep breath to release the tension that was building up on me.

"Then what seems to be the problem this time?" Natasha asked, concern obvious in her tone.

I gazed at her. She was on the other side of the Quinjet, talking to her co-workers.

I admire how her (h/c) hair falls perfectly, and how innocence can be seen in her beautiful smile. It could light up the whole New York City.

Natasha noticed my gaze and looked at her direction, then back to me.

"It's (y/n). You're worried about her." she stated.

Yes. (Y/n). The girl I'm in love with. The girl who doesn't know my feelings towards her. I wonder if she ever noticed. Did she? And here I am wondering again, of what could've been if she knew, but I guess some things are better left unsaid...

She has been on several missions but this one is different. Last time I went on a mission at Hydra, I lost someone who means a lot to me.

I can't let that happen again.

She's strong and independent. I trust her, but the thought of her in danger or worse – gone is just something I couldn't bare to take.

"Let's just hope we all survive today. I can't afford to lose people nowadays. I've lost too much." I stood up as the Quinjet landed at our destination.

.

I dodged another bullet as I neared the last Hydra agent left in the hall, who was trying to block the pathway of the building. Hitting him with a big blow, the agent went unconscious after hitting the ground.

"AHHH!"

I heard a familiar voice, screaming helplessly in a distance.

"(Y/n)!" I turned around to follow the direction of the sound.

Running through the hall, negative thoughts flooded my mind of what could've happened to her. Worry was all I felt despite the bruises and wounds I've received earlier.

I finally found her. Her helpless body was laying on the ground, hear head was bleeding as she lay unconscious.

"(Y/n)! (Y/n)! Stay with me please." I pleaded as I checked her pulse.

I have never felt so relieved, finding out that she's still alive.

"I need backup at area 207. One agent is down. It's agent (y/l/n). She needs serious medical attention now!" I spoke to the other agents through my ear piece.
