The Enemy [1]

7: Escape

I knocked on the cell door hoping someone would show up. Thankfully a guard came to the door. "Hi. Can we have some water?" I asked. He nodded and walked away. Steve stood at the door with a food tray in hand. The guy opened the door with two bottles of water. Steve smashed the tray into his face making him fall back.
"Better than the shield?" I asked.
"It's handy" he said as the two of us ran out of the cell.
"Well let's go get your shield back" I said running as alarms blared around us. I used my powers to send soldiers flying across the room. You're probably wondering why I didn't use my powers in the cell. Well the walls are special and I have no way of using any of my powers. We entered the one room and I ran once I saw his shield. I picked it up and tossed it to him. We ran out of the room and down the hallway. We heard soldiers running toward us. I felt a sharp pain in my calf. Someone shot me! I screamed loudly and fell to the ground. Steve turned and came running back.
"No go without me" I said trying to stand.
"No soldier gets left behind" he said picking me up bridal style. The sharp pain increase and I let out a yell in pain. I looked at his arm that was under my leg and I saw his arm was soaked in blood. Isn't this just fun! Soon my world went black.

I felt something warm on the side of my face. What? I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I saw a fire place in front of me. I was laying on the ground wrapped in a big blanket. I heard footsteps and I looked over to see Steve.
"Sleeping Beauty is awake" he said smiling.
"What happened?" I asked my voice cracking.
"Well you started to lose blood. Let's just say: I saved your life" he said as he moved the blanket and showed me the bandage wrapped around my calf.
"It hurts" I said trying to sit up.
"Lay down. You're in pain" he said pushing me back down gently.
"No dip Sherlock" I said.
"Your blood stained my suit" he said causing me to laugh.
"Blame that on whoever shot me" I said as I noticed that he was shirtless, "put on a shirt!"
"I used my shirt to wrap your leg" he answered. So that wasn't a bandage.
"Aren't you cold?!" I asked.
"I'm fine. I found a blanket" he said picking up a blanket and wrapping it around himself.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"When we escaped I found this old cabin. Thought it was a good place to settle" he said putting another stick into the fire making it crack.
"Thank you. Why did you save me? You could've left me to die. I'm an enemy Captain" I said staring at the blazing fire.
"You're welcome. But like I said: no soldier left behind" he said.
"I'm not a soldier" I said.
"Note taken. I have a few questions" he said.
"Spill" I said.
"What happened in the past?" He asked making me take a deep breath.
"As you know I was born in December. I'm a French, Russian and English descendant. I can speak French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and German. My mother was killed by SHIELD. I was 2 or 3. A child at that age should be with her mother. But SHIELD doesn't care. And I know exactly who killed her. Mr Barton and Mrs Romanoff themselves. I was trained by someone who is classified. My mother worked for Hydra. I was tortured because of my abilities. I still have scars. I can't be in a cell. When I was 2 they put me in a very small space. I have a fear of small spaces. But SHILED never cares. That's why I became who I am. I couldn't trust SHIELD. I never liked Hydra either. I once wanted to work for the good guys. But over time I realized they're the bad guys too. After SHIELD collapsed thanks to Alexander Pierce who worked for Hydra I realized what SHIELD really was. A weapon. At age 5 I knew how to take apart and put back together a gun. I knew a lot about combat. Soon I began doing jobs at age 10. Earning money here and there. I met Alison at a park. She was cold and alone. I took her back with me and Adam. She was safe. At least I think she is. If anyone lays a hand on her I will hurt them. Captain, I've seen people I know die. Barton killed my dog. That dog was my protector. It was my only family I had every since my mother died. And you superheroes took that away from me" I said staring at him with tears in my eyes, "I never knew my dad. I never met him. He left 1 month after I was born. That's who I got my powers from."
"I'm sorry to hear that-"
"No you're not sorry. Go ahead take me to SHIELD. Let them lock me in a cell for all I care. But I know who wouldn't care... You. You don't care what happens to the enemy. You're just like the others" I said trying to stand but it hurt. Steve pulled me back down and I let out a scream when my leg hit the ground.
"Don't touch me" I hissed yanking my arm away from him, "you asked about my past, Cap. Now you know." I tried to crawl away from him. I needed to escape. I know exactly how I'll leave.
