Silent Night • An Avengers Story

Silenced-Part 1

"That's it, look at the light."

The blonde haired girl blinked as she saw a bright light. Heaven? No, I don't deserve heaven. They probably a place in hell waiting for me...

She opened her eyes to see a couple men's standing over her, watching her movements. She jerked up, startling them. She tried to move her hands, but saw her wrist were tied to the table, along with her ankles.

She arched her back as yanking her wrist up and one snapped. One of the men went to grab her, but she punched him in the face, snapping the other wrist out of the strap. She undid the straps on her ankle before more men came in.

She kicked one, sending him into another man. She hopped onto the table, turning and kicking a man in the face, sending him to the floor.

One man went at her, but she jumped up, landing on his shoulders and jumping off behind him, spinning around and kicking him in the back. He fell forward, slamming him head into the table.

She collected herself before running out of the room, down the hallway to look for an exit. She was stopped by a man with a knife.

He lunged at her, making her freeze and the knife swung at her. But, a hand stopped the knife. It sunk into the hand, blood slowly dropping onto the floor. She followed the hand to see the blue suit man she saw in the snow.

"Leave me to handle this." He said to the man who went at her. He nodded before running off, a fearful look in his eyes. The blue suit man turned to her, taking out the knife.

"Rude awakening, sorry." He said, smiling slightly. She just stared at him. He had saved her. No one had ever risked a wound to save her. She had to defend herself always when she was with HYDRA.

"My name is Steve Rogers. Can you tell us your name?" He asked. She looked at the ground, shaking her head. "Do you not remember it?" He asked. She shook her head, looking up at him.

Steve frowned as he thought. "Can you not talk?" He asked. She nodded, looking down again. He nodded slowly. She saw the blood that was dropping from Steve's hand.

She gently grabbed his hand, examining it. "It'll be fine. I've had worse." He said. She gently pulled him back to the room she was before. He didn't say anything as she rummaged through draws before finding bandages and rubbing alcohol.

She sat down next to him and poured some of it onto his hand before wrapping his hand up. He examined her as she did so.

She wanted to repay him for saving her. She felt so thankful inside for what he had done, she could've left him wounded.

"So, you've patched people up before?" Steve asked. She shook her head, making him frown. "Then how do you know how to..." He trailed off as she finished.

She looked up at him, bowing her head in a thankful way. "Can you write?" He asked. She nodded before he grabbed a random clip board on the table and a pen and handed it to her.

'I used to patch myself up.' She wrote down before handing it to him. He nodded as he read it before handing it back to her.

'How come you took me here?' She wrote down, handing it to him. He read it and handed it back. "Fury told us to. A rumor went around SHIELD about you, and when we figured out it was true, we were sent to get you." Steve explained.

The girl hesitated before writing down something else and handing it to Steve. 'They used to call me Silent Night.' She wrote down. "Why?" Steve asked. 'Because I was ordered to attack at night.' She wrote down.

Steve nodded. "Let's figure out your real name then."
