I walked into the apartment and passed Kate our neighbor on the way up the stairs. I waved hi and she smiled. It was awkward seeing her sometimes. I didn't ever know what to say.

I opened the door and felt Steve grab my hand and pull me behind his back. Music played through the house. He held up his shield and he walked quietly through the apartment.

"I don't remember giving you a key." Steve says, and I walk closer. Fury sat on the chair and I smiled out of relief.

"You really think I'd need one? My wife kicked me out." He says and I look to Fury and back to Steve. Something wasn't right.

"Didn't know you were married." Steve says not catching on. I go to turn on the lights.

"There are a lot of things you don't about me." Fury says, slower.

"I know, Nick. That's the problem." Steve says and as the lights  turn on he notices Fury's injuries for the first time, but Fury indicates for us to be silent. He types on his phone.

Ears everywhere.

"I'm sorry to have do this, but I had no place else to crash." He writes again and holds it up.

SHIELD Compromised

"Who else knows about your wife?" I ask, and Steve pushes on my arm to stay back as he looks around.

You and me

"Just...my friends." Fury says and I nod.

"Is that what we are?" Steve asks,

"That's up to you." suddenly Fury is shot three times from the window and collapses, Steve grabs me and pulls me down as I cover my head. He nods to me and we pull Fury into a different room. Steve goes to look out the window and Fury hands me a flash drive.  "Don't...trust anyone." He says and passes out.

"Captain Rogers? Doctor Kingston?" A woman yells and walks in with a gun. It was Kate. "Captain, I'm Agent 13 of SHIELD's Special Service."

"Kate? What the fuck!" I say in a loud whisper and she looks around to Fury.

"I'm assigned to protect you." She says, bending down to touch his neck. I already did that. He was breathing,

"On whose order?" Steve asks,

"His." She radios in and calls for help.

"Do you have a twenty on the shooter?" The man says back through the radio. Steve notices the shooter though the window and stands up.

"Tell them I'm in pursuit." Steve smashes through our window and runs after the assassin. I roll my eyes and follow after. I climb down the side of the street and run on the ground level keeping up with their pace. I run to the last building close enough to have a roof and see a figure hit the side of me. I grab onto them but they kick me off. I fall against the concrete and flip them off as the man runs away.

"Steve." I said, standing up as he climbed down the side. He puts a hand on my back and looks in the direction the man went. He was gone.

"We got to get to the hospital." He says, and pulls me along.
