2013

Captain America fought hard, like always, until the Winter Soldier attacked Black Widow. Then he fought harder. He sprang from behind the SUV and charged towards the assassin, his shield in hand. The man moved, his gun lowering as Steve launched himself at him. The Winter Soldier's metal left arm collided with the vibranium shield, sending vibrations through both men. Steve pushed against him with all his might only to be kicked off the hood of the vehicle the Winter Soldier was standing on.

He fell back, crouching behind his shield for a moment. The assassin fired at him a few times before the man moved. Steve rolled out the way and behind another vehicle. The Winter Soldier shot after him, the bullets bouncing off Cap's shield like ping pong balls.

He moved with the accuracy of an experienced soldier, his body countering the assassin's moves with ease. When the masked man ran out of bullets, Steve catapulted over the vehicle and kicked the gun out of the assassin's hand.

The Winter Soldier pulled out a handgun, firing just as quick as he did before. Steve swung at the man, countering the assassin's moves with his shield. Their bodies moved together, as if they'd been trained by the same teacher and know the same moves.

At some point, the Winter Soldier grabbed Steve's shield and flipped him over, taking the shield into his own hands. Steve guarded himself and countered the man as much as he could, but he wasn't strong enough to stay put when the metal fist punched him square in the chest. He fell back, sliding just a little, and stared up at the Winter Soldier who now wielded Steve's only weapon. Steve charged again at full speed. The Winter Soldier threw the shield into a van behind Steve, just barely missing him thanks to Steve's reflexes.

The fight wasn't over yet. The assassin pulled out a knife and the hand-to-hand combat started again. Steve did his best, dodging the knife and the fists. The man gave it his all, too, swinging and stabbing the air with enough force to kill a regular human in one blow. Good thing Steve's not just anyone. He spun around into a roundhouse kick, sending the Winter Solider back into the van. This wasn't a defense fight anymore, not for Steve anyway.

Once again, Steve charged again, but this time toward a stunned assassin. He jumped up, kicking the man back and breaking the glass in the window. The Winter Soldier was back into action, swinging at Steve as if he hadn't just been thrown into a vehicle. Steve grabbed his arms, flipping him over and slamming him into the asphalt.

The Winter Soldier popped back up and his metal arm reached out to grab Steve's throat. 'This guy is relentless,' Steve thought, as he tried his best to get his hand away from his neck. The Winter Soldier's arm started to hum and the next thing Steve knew, he was being flung backwards.

He tumbled over a vehicle and landed on his front. Steve took a moment to try to catch his breath, but he could hear the Winter Soldier jumping onto the hood of the car. He braced himself, moving just as he heard the creak of the car when the assassin jumped off. Steve rolled away just as the metal fist came in contact with the road.

Steve jumped up and the fighting continued. The Winter Soldier slammed Steve into a van and pulled out a knife again. Cap tried to get back into action, but a foot collided with his chest, pressing him back into the van. The assassin stabbed at Steve, but the super soldier caught his hand. Steve guided it into the van, but the Winter Soldier wasn't having it. He tried his best to put the knife into Steve, only to slice through the metal of the van as Steve walked him away.

The fight was back in Steve's control when he flipped the assassin over and grabbed his shield. The Winter Soldier tried to stab the blonde man a time or two until Steve hit the knife away. 'He's a good fighter, though, I'll give him that,' Steve couldn't help but think as he took a punch.
